Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the
1500’s,
Today is November 7, 2020 in the 21th century
November
-- the ninth month – Now the eleventh month
Middle English Novembre
Latin November
Latin Novembris mensis
"nineth month"
Novembris had 30
days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius
when it became 30 days long.
Yehovah God has His own calendar, which is deleted from the world
We are now in the 8th month of God called Bool -
day 20
1Kgs.6 [38]… in the
month Bul, which is the eighth month…
בּוּל - pronounced Bool - a sense of rain, a Part of Sept. / Oct. 2020.
Remember: it is not Mar Cheshvan or Cheshvan - this is made up in Judaism, a lie

Beware, the false holidays are here!
“Tis the season to be pagan” is all around us again!
False Holidays that are left
to come:
Thanksgiving:
George Washington
proclaimed a National Day of
Thanksgiving in 1789 – the question is: thank what god, no god, or whatever…
Once upon a time, Christmas,
X mass was banned in 1659 in America
Remember:
Beware of the "false image" of love
Beware of "false feelings and emotions"
These pagan feasts bring on loneliness, depression,
suicide and oh yes, debt.
I keep hearing on the radio this term “Wicked Awesome” in commercials L oh well…
Watch out for feelings of worthlessness or guilt, fatigue and
loss of energy, impaired concentration, loss of interest in almost all
activity, insomnia and recurring thoughts of death or suicide.
In the last two weeks I
explained a short History of Halloween: Also called All Hallows Eve, All Saints'
Eve, Samhain, Hallowed End and other names…
And I explained
the made-up Chanukah:
Remember these points:
1. Chanukah in Hebrew means
dedication pertaining to the Temple
2. There is no Temple (destroyed in 70 AD)
3. Wrong month, should be Adar which is Feb. / March (winter ends March 21th) (Ezra 6:14, 15)
4. No 8 days of
oil in the Maccabees
5. No 8 candlestick menorah in Scripture (only 7 and very
important)
6. No miracle of oil
Today’s Topic:
Let us review a few things
Watch for errors:
Some Messianics copy
Judaism or Karaites
First, I will explain the Sabbath, the 7th day
This is how simple it is:
The Sabbath is the 4th
Commandment of the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan
Ex. 20 [8] Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
זכר Remember
zâkar - A primitive root; properly to mark (so
as to be recognized), that is, to remember; by implication
to mention; make mention of, be mindful, recount, record (-er), remember, make to
be remembered, bring (call, come, keep, put) to (in) remembrance, still, think
on, well.
[9] Six days shall you labor, and do all your work:
[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah thy God:
in it you shall not do any work, you nor your son, nor your
daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your
stranger that is within your gates:
[11] For in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and
rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Isa. 58 [13] If you turn away your foot from
the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My
holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of Yehovah, honorable; and shall honor Him,
1 - not doing your own ways
2 - nor finding your own pleasure
3 - nor speaking your own words:
[14] Then shall you delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and
feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of Yehovah had spoken it.
Lev. 23 [3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an "holy convocation"; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath
of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
Dwelling מושׁב môshâv -
seat, assembly, dwelling-place, dwelling, your situation, location, at the time
of your dwelling
The Sabbath
is a "holy convocation, a miqra kodesh"
מקרא miqra: convocation, convoking, reading, a calling together, sacred
assembly, something called out, that is, a public meeting (the
act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal
קדשׁ kodesh: a sacred place or thing; consecrated,
dedicated, hallowed, holiness, saint, sanctuary, apartness, sacredness,
separateness, apartness, sacredness, holiness
Buying and selling is “evil” on the Sabbath
Neh. 13 [16] There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all
manner of ware, and sold on the Sabbath unto the children of Judah,
and in Jerusalem.
[17] Then I
contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, what evil thing is this that ye do, and
profane the Sabbath day? You may
read on…
Let’s go over another made-up holiday so you can
understand how to answer people
First point:
Let’s review
Thanksgiving:
First I want to say, we are not against turkeys,
dressing, pumpkins, pumpkin pie, football or parades etc…
There are many different accounts on the net.
Remember none of these people or religions were of the God of Israel
Here is one
account:
The Pilgrims left Plymouth, England, on September 6, 1620 for the New
World.
Although filled with uncertainty and peril, it
offered both civil and religious liberty. Arriving in Massachusetts in late
November, the Pilgrims sought a suitable landing place. 1621
The Pilgrims were a specific group of Calvinist Christians.
After King Henry VIII separated the Church of
England from the rest of the Catholic Church, many English subjects were
dissatisfied with the king acting as the highest church authority.
Encouraged by the Protestant Reformation in Germany, Holland, and Switzerland, these dissatisfied subjects separated from the Church of England
in favor of a type of pseudo Christianity without a church hierarchy with the
Bible as the only authority (as they
interpreted the Bible which was wrong).
As a whole, these groups can also be
called puritans.
One group originally called the Leiden Congregation:
because they left England and lived in Leiden, Holland for several years,
believed that they could not successfully live with their beliefs among
the English and the English authorities also pressured the government of
Holland to remove them.
This group set out to live as a congregation in
the new world.
They became known as the Pilgrims because they saw themselves as settlers in a new land with a new
future.
The Pilgrim Church no longer exists as a single
entity. They were a type of Calvinists and
puritans. Their religion is similar to
today's Baptists, Congregationalists, and Methodists. None are of the God of Israel
Fast forward a bit in time...
In 1789, following a proclamation issued by President George Washington,
America celebrated its first Day of Thanksgiving to God under its new
constitution.
That same year, the Protestant Episcopal Church, of which President Washington was
a member, announced that the first Thursday in November would become its regular day for giving thanks,
"unless another day is appointed by the
civil authorities." Yet, despite these early national proclamations,
official Thanksgiving observances usually occurred only at the State level.
Much of the credit for the adoption of "of a
later ANNUAL national Thanksgiving Day may be attributed to Mrs. Sarah Joseph Hale, the editor of Godey's Lady's
Book.
For thirty years, she promoted the idea of a
national Thanksgiving Day, contacting President after President until President Abraham Lincoln responded in 1863 by setting aside the last Thursday
of November as a national Day of
Thanksgiving.
Over the next seventy-five years, Presidents followed Lincoln's precedent, annually declaring a
national Thanksgiving Day.
Then, in 1941, Congress permanently established the fourth Thursday of each
November as a national holiday.
The problem with this is "ANYONE" does Thanksgiving.
Whatever religion you have or do not have,
family get-togethers, drinking beer, eating turkey, eating your left over
Halloween pumpkin pie and watching football and the parade.
Thank god, which god, obviously not the God of Israel.
Next point:
Remember, there were neither
Protestants before 1500 AD nor Catholics at the time of Messiah Yeshua.
Messiah – מָשִׁיחַ
The English word Christian
below is Messiah followers, not Protestants or Catholics.
Real Messiah followers / Christians
םיִּיחִמְשִׁ plural
יחִמְשִׁ
singular
Messiah follower references:
Acts 11 [26] And when he
had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole
year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the
disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Acts 26 [28] Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost you
persuade me to be a Christian.
1 Pet. 4 [16] Yet if any
man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him
glorify God on this behalf.
Next point:
The names Jesus / Yeshua and Jah / Yah
Spellings of some names in Hebrew
Yah - יָהּ
Yeshua - יֵשׁוּעַ
Notice from the right to the left, the first 2 consonant letters,
they are different in Yah and Yeshua
יֵשׁ - Y SH
יָהּ Y H
Just by this we can conclude the names are pronounced differently
יֵשׁוּעַ = Jeshua = Yeshua – is 30 times in TaNaK
Next point:
Renew is not New
The
word renew is a verb and the word new is an
adjective.
The
New Covenant
In
Hebrew, the vowels can change the gender. בְּרִית
חֲדָשָׁה
Feminine form
The
New Covenant is a feminine noun and needs a
feminine adjective.
בְּרִית
חֲדָשָׁה
New
The
word new in Hebrew has a kamatz (like a T – חָדָשׁ ) under both
the chet and dalet.
Renew
If
you know Hebrew a bit, the word renew has a patach ( _ ) under the
first letter, chet and a tzareh
( .. ) under the second letter, dalet. חַדֵּשׁ
חַדֵּשׁ chadash - A
primitive root; to rebuild:
- renew, repair.
Next point:
The name Jesus does not come from the name Zeus.
These
two words do not sound alike.
etymology
: The origin and historical development of a linguistic form as
shown by determining its basic elements, earliest known use, and changes in
form and meaning, tracing its transmission from one language to another,
identifying its cognates in other languages, and reconstructing its ancestral
form where possible.
The branch of linguistics that deals with etymologies.
As
you can see, there is no etymological relationship between these two words.
It
is clearly seen that different letters are used in the spelling of these two
words.
English
Greek English transliteration and sound
Jesus Ιησους Iisous pronounced ee-ay-sooce
Zeus
- Ζευς Zeys pronounced Zeys
In
short, I suggest you don’t copy websites and make this foolish argument.
Next point:
Tzitzit - Fringe
That is
how simple it is to understand.
Num.15 [38] Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them
that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout
their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
[39] And it shall be
unto you for a fringe, that ye
may look upon it, and remember all the commandments
of Yehovah, and do them; and that ye seek
not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
[40] That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be
holy unto your God.
[41] I am Yehovah your
God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yehovah your
God.
Deut.22 [12] You shall make your fringes
upon the four quarters of your vesture, wherewith you cover yourself.
Here is the reason for any fringe:
Num. 15:39 that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Yehovah and do them
Also the Yarmulka / kippa or Tallit, prayer shawl is
NOT in scripture. The Kippa is just a Jewish
tradition and is found in the Talmud.
Next point:
Be not called Rabbi or messianic rabbi
John
3 [2] The same came to Yeshua
/ Jesus by night, and said unto him , Rabbi, we know that thou art a
teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou
doest, except God be with him
John
1 [38] Then Yeshua /
Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith
unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi,
(which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
John
20[ 16] Jesus saith
unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto
him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Direct
prohibitions from Yeshua:
Matt.23
[8] But be not
you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Messiah / Christ; and
all ye are brethren.
[9]
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in
heaven.
(father, meaning heavenly father , ex. like Catholics call
their pagan priests father )
[10]
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Messiah / Christ.
Matt.
23:8 is not talking about the word "teacher".
Many
people are teachers.
Paul
was a teacher
1
Tim. 2[7] Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle ,
(I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the
Gentiles in faith and verity.
2
Tim. 1[11] Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle ,
and a teacher of the Gentiles .
Tit.2
[3] The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as
becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers
of good things ;
Eph.
4[11] And he gave some, apostles;
and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers…
Acts 13 [1] Now there were in the
church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers …
1
Cor.12 [28] And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,
secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that
miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Next point:
Watch
out for errors in the Stone Chumash & Tanach
Kosher means blessed by a
rabbi, which is not scriptural.
Judaism says don’t
eat milk and meat together.
The
scriptures below are not saying don't eat milk or milk products with meat.
Exod.23 [19] The first of the first fruits of thy land thou shall bring
into the house of Yehovah thy God. You shall
not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
Exod.34 [26] The first of the first fruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of Yehovah
thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his
mother's milk.
Also Deut.14
Here we have Yehovah, in some form, Abraham and David eating milk and meat together:
Gen.18 [1] And in the plains of Mamre: and he
sat in the tent door in the Yehovah appeared
unto him in heat of the day;
[2]
And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him : and
when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed
himself toward the ground,
[3]
And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not
away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
[4]
Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest
yourselves under the tree:[ 5] And I will
fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass
on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
[6]
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly
three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
[7] And
Abraham ran unto the herd and fetcht a calf tender and good,
and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress
it.
[8]
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he
had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
King David and his men ate
milk and meat:
2Sam.17 [27]
And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim,
that Shobi the son of Nahash
of Rabbah of the children of Ammon,
and Machir the son of Ammiel
of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite
of Rogelim,[28] Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and
flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and
parched pulse,[29 ] And honey, and butter, and
sheep, and cheese of kine, for
David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they
said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
In closing for now:
There are just too many made-up
things to talk about now.
On my website I list many more.
Should
we: Agree to disagree, use tolerance, political correctness - Never
Amos.3 [3] Can
two walk together, except they be agreed?
Saul / Paul speaks
to the Corinthians:
2
Cor.6 [14] Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
[15] And what concord hath Messiah with Belial? Or what part hath
he that believeth with an infidel?
[16] And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
For ye are the temple of the living
God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be
their God, and they shall be my people.
[17] Wherefore come
out from among them, and be ye separate, says the Lord, and touch not
the unclean thing; and I will receive you,[18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and
daughters, says Yehovah Almighty.
The point of this review is to alert
you to the fact that you need too questions
everything.
Use the Bible for your reference.
Remember: be aware of our world’s made-up, fake stories, news, holidays, events, people, religions and sciences,
etc…
Be aware of false teachers that copy each other such as:
Judaism, Messianics that follow Judaism, Messianics that follow Karaites, and Protestant Gentile teachers that follow Messianics that follow Karaites or Judaism – they are all in
error!
Beware, the false holidays are here! “Tis the season to be pagan” is all around us again!
Shabbat Shalom, be safe
