Today, we sadly use the Gregorian
calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.
Today is May 6, 2023
May -- Maia's month L
Old French Mai
Old English Maius
Latin Maius "of Maia"
Latin Maius mensis "month of Maia"
Maius has always had 31 days.
Maia (meaning "the great one") is the
Italic goddess of spring, the daughter of Faunus, and wife of Vulcan.
The God of Israel has His own Calendar: Zif, which is the second month, day

Our seven
week journey we observe, in memorial, spiritually to meet God again on Mt.
Sinai, to receive the commandments and receive the Spirit of God.
From slaves in
Egypt, (our last lives of sin) to the people of God and the giving of the Law,
(10 commandments) and the giving of the Holy Spirit
We were told to count "Sabbaths" not omers.
An "omer" is a
"sheaf" of barley - עמר omer - A dry measure of 1/10 ephah (about 2 liters)
Lev.23 [15] And you shall count unto you from the
morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of
the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete:
[16] Even
unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall you number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meat
offering unto Yehovah.
This Sabbath is
the fourth Sabbath of the seven Sabbaths we were told to count.
Today’s Topic:
Bible 101 terms again
This is a study I have done many times in the past.
It is a good review of some topics we believe at our congregation.
First, I
will go over the Sabbath, the 4th commandment:
I will explain the
Sabbath, the 7th day; this is how simple it is:
Lev. 23 [32] … from even (sunset) unto even (sunset), shall
you celebrate your Sabbath.
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 - zaw-kar' - 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 your 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.
Next:
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,(God)
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 hath spoken it.
Lev. 23 [3] Six days shall work be done: but
the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, a "holy convocation"; you 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) time of 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 you do, and profane
the Sabbath day?
Read the rest of the chapter yourselves…
The first day is mentioned only 2 times when they met
for certain events in Acts and the letter to the Corinthians
It never says the 1st day
replaced the 7th day as Sabbath
It never says the 1st day is a
Commandment or a rest
Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread,
Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his
speech until midnight.
1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God
hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
Why doesn’t any pseudo Christian
ever talk about the 60 times in
the Gospels and letters it uses the word Sabbath!
Here are a few other wrong terms people
use in the pseudo religious and secular world today
Many say they are the New Testament church, their
church started there in Acts 2
They are wrong - Acts 2 were all Jews for every country to keep the Feast of
weeks - Pentecost
Acts 2 [5] … there were dwelling at
Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under
heaven.
Many say - in the New Testament / Covenant?
Wrong term
The New Testament is not a set of books - The old and new testaments are not two
“dividing” books, not two Gods, not two understandings.
Let’s read:
Heb. 8:8 -12: For finding fault with them, he said, Behold, the days
come, said the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the
house of Judah: Not according to the
covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my
covenant, and I regarded them not, said the Lord.
Who was the New Testament / Covenant given to,
Gentiles? No, Israel
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel after those days, said Yehovah; I will
put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to
them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every
man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for
all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to
their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no
more.
Jer. 31:31-37: Behold, the days come, said Yehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in
the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt;
which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto
them, said Yehovah: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house
of Israel; After those days, said Yehovah, I will
put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be
their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man
his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, Know Yehovah:
for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of
them, said Yehovah; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will
remember their sin no more. Thus said Yehovah,
which gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the
moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divides the sea
when the waves thereof roar; Yehovah of hosts is his name: If those
ordinances depart from before me, said Yehovah, then the seed of
Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.
Pseudo gentile church replaced Israel? Never!
Thus said Yehovah; If heaven
above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I
will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have
done, said Yehovah.
4 - No more animal blood needed
Luke 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the
new testament in
my blood, which is shed for you. Now
it is Messiah’s blood
Many say - In the Old Testament / Covenant?
Wrong term
Like I said, the Old Testament is not a set of
books
The Old Testament or covenant pertains to
the Levitical priesthood (part of the Law) and all its sacrifices
(animal sacrifices, blood), priest’s services and temple services, etc...
Exod.24 [8] And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and
said, Behold the
blood of the covenant,
which Yehovah have made with you concerning all these words.
Many say the Renewed Covenant – Some faults
bibles say this also:
It is Not renewed, but new!
Learn some Hebrew and then some Hebrew grammar
here:
Renew is not New:
The word “renew” is a verb and the word “new” is an adjective.
In Hebrew, the adjective agree with the noun in
gender. בְּרִית
חֲדָשָׁה ־ feminine form
בְּרִית - covenant
is a feminine noun and needs
a feminine adjective. חֲדָשָׁה
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
The word new in Hebrew has a kamatz (like a T -חָדָשׁ ) under both the chet and dalet.
Renew – a verb
חַדֵּשׁ chadash khaw-dash' - A
primitive root; a
verb - to
rebuild: - renew, repair.
Many religions use the word Christian today?
What was the original meaning of the
word Christian?
Remember, there was neither Protestants before
1500 AD nor Catholics at the time of Messiah Yeshua.
Messiah - מְשִיחַ
The English word Christian below means
Messiah followers, not Protestants or Catholics.
Messiah followers מְשִׁיחִי
מְשִׁיחִיִּים
Acts 11[ 26] And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it
came to pass, that a whole your 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.
1Pet.4 [16] … if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be
ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
Some say the name Yeshua means Zeus and is pagan?
The name Yeshua does not come from the name Zeus. These
two words do not even sound alike in Greek.
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
As you can see below, 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.
Here are the English, Greek, and
the English transliterations and sounds
Yeshua - Ιησους Iisous pronounced ee-ay-sooce
Zeus - Ζευς Zeys pronounced Zeys
In short, I suggest you learn some Greek before
you make this foolish argument
יְהוָה
The “LORD / GOD” - should be YHVH / Yehovah, sometimes Yah in English
Many people say Yeshua changed all
things?
Yeshua said - Matt.5 [17] Think not that
I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but
to fulfill.
[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law,
till all be fulfilled.
Some say, so I will be least in the kingdom of
heaven if I sin, who cares?
Here is the true meaning:
Matt.5 19] Whosoever therefore
shall "break" one of these least commandments, and shall
"teach" men so, he shall be "called" the least"
"in (by them in) the kingdom of heaven ": but "whosoever shall do
( commandments ) and teach them", the same shall be "called
great in (by them in) the kingdom of heaven .
Scripture tells us NO sin shall enter the
Kingdom of Heaven
The Greek word “en” means in, by or with etc.
Some say Christ / Messiah is the “end” of the
law?
Wrong, it means the goal, result of the law
Rom.10 [4] For Messiah is the end of the law for righteousness to
everyone that believeth.
Christ / Messiah is our GOAL
τελος telos - tel'-os
From a primary word τελλω tello (to set out for a definite
point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a
limit, the result
Some say God loves the sinner and hates the
sin, wrong
Too any verses for this subject, here are 2
verses:
Pss.5 [5] The foolish shall not stand in your
sight: You, God hate all
workers of iniquity.
Pss.7 [11] God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
Some say there are Generational curses?
No generational curses in scripture
No one pays for the sins of someone else
Ezek. 18 [23] Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die, said the Lord Yehovah: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
[32] For I have no pleasure in
the death of him that dies said the
Lord Yehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live you.
Deut. 24 [16] The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for
the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
2 Kgs. 14 [6] But the children of the murderers he slew
not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses,
wherein Yehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be
put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the
fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
2 Chr. 25 [4] But he slew not their
children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses (Deut. 24:16),
where Yehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children,
neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his
own sin.
Read Ezek. Chapters 3, 18 and 33
Ezek. 18 - (No generational curses)
[1] The word of Yehovah came unto me
again, saying,
[2] What mean you, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel,
saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on
edge?
[3] As I live, said the
Lord Yehovah, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in
Israel.
[4] Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of
the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it
shall die.
[5] But if a man be just, and do that
which is lawful and right,
[6] And have not eaten upon the mountains, neither have lifted up his
eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither have defiled
his neighbor’s wife, neither have come near to
a menstruous woman,
[7] And have not oppressed any, but have restored to the debtor his
pledge, have spoiled none by violence, have given his bread to the hungry, and
have covered the naked with a garment;
[8] He that have not given forth upon usury, neither have taken any
increase, that have withdrawn his hand from iniquity, have executed true
judgment between man and man,
[9] Hath walked in my statutes, and have kept my judgments, to deal
truly; he is just, he shall surely live, said the Lord Yehovah.
[10] If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that
doeth the like to any one of these things,
[11] And that doeth not any of those duties, but even have eaten upon
the mountains, and defiled his neighbor’s wife,
[12] Hath oppressed the poor and needy, have spoiled by violence, have
not restored the pledge, and have lifted up his eyes to the idols, have
committed abomination,
[13] Hath given forth upon usury, and have taken increase: shall he then
live? he shall not live: he have done all these abominations; he
shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
[14] Now, lo, if he beget a son,
that sees all his father's sins which he have done,
and considers, and doeth not such like,
[15] That have not eaten upon the
mountains, neither have lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
have not defiled his neighbor’s wife,
[16] Neither have oppressed any, have
not withholden the pledge, neither have spoiled by violence, but have
given his bread to the hungry, and have covered the naked with a
garment,
[17] That have taken off his hand from the
poor that have not received usury or increase, have executed my
judgments, have walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely
live.
[18] As for his father, because
he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is
not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
[19] Yet you say, why doen’t the son bear the iniquity of the
father?
When the son have done that which is lawful and
right, and have kept all my statutes, and have done them, he shall surely live.
[20] The soul that sins it shall
die.
The son shall not bear the iniquity of
the father neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son:
The righteousness of the righteous shall be
upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
[21] But if the wicked will turn from all his
sins that he have committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is
lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
[22] All his transgressions that he have
committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he
have done he shall live.
[23] Have I any pleasure
at all that the wicked should die? said the Lord Yehovah: and
not that he should return from his ways, and live?
[24] But when the
righteous turns away from his righteousness,
and commits iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations
that the wicked man doeth, shall he live?
All his righteousness that he has done shall not
be mentioned: in his trespass that he
has trespassed, and in his sin that he have sinned, in them shall he die.
[25] Yet you say, the way of the Lord is not equal.
Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? Are not
your ways unequal?
[26] When a righteous man turns away
from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in
them; for his iniquity that he have done shall he die.
[27] Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that
he have committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall
save his soul alive.
[28] Because he considers,
and turns away from all his transgressions that he have committed, he
shall surely live, he shall not die.
[29] Yet you said, the house of
Israel, The way of Yehovah is not equal. O house of Israel, are not
my ways equal? Are not your ways unequal?
[30] Therefore I will judge you, O house
of Israel, every one according to his ways, said the
Lord Yehovah. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your
transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
[31] Cast away from you all your
transgressions, whereby you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a
new spirit: for why will
you die O house of Israel?
[32] For I have no pleasure in the death of
him that dies, said the Lord Yehovah: wherefore turn
yourselves, and live you.
Many say, don’t judge me brother / sister
1 Cor. 6 [4] Saul says: If then you have judgments of things
pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
We are Gods – meaning we are God’s judges to use
God’s word to judge all things righteously.
John.10 [34] Yeshua answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, you
are gods? This is in Exodus, in the Hebrew
Also:
Pss.82 [6] I have said, You are gods; and all of you are
children of the most High.
We do not judge matters by ourselves in our own
judgment
Again, we are gods, judges with God's Word to
judge righteously
Yeshua said:
John 7 [24] Judge
not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Lev. 19 [15] You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment:
you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the
person of the mighty: but in righteousness shall you judge
your neighbor.
There are many other verses…
Most pseudo Christians
and Messianics mistranslate Rom. 14 and Col. 2:16
These scriptures below Paul is warning the
Colossians and us today to "watch out for evil men" outside the body of true believers trying to change
God’s word.
Col.2
[1] For I would that you knew what great
conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not
seen my face in the flesh;
[2] That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love,
and unto all riches of the full assurance of u-nderstanding, to the
acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Messiah;
[3] In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
[4] And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
[5] For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in
the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and
the steadfastness of your faith in Messiah.
[6] As you have therefore received
Messiah Yeshua the Lord, so walk you in him:
[7] Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith,
as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
[8] Beware lest any man spoil
you through philosophy and vain deceit, after
the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not
after Messiah.
[9] For in him dwells all
the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
[10] And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality
and power:
[11] In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without
hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of
Messiah:
[12] Buried with him in baptism, wherein also you are risen with him
through the faith of the operation of God, who have raised him from the dead.
[13] And you, being dead in your sins and
the uncircumcision of your flesh, have he quickened
together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
[14] Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us,
which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
[15] And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made
a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
[16] Let no man (outside the body of Messiah) therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an
holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days:
[17] Which are a shadow of things to come; (future tense) but the body is of
Messiah.
[18] Let no man (outside the
body of Messiah) beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels,
intruding into those things which he have not seen, vainly puffed up by his
fleshly mind,
[19] And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and
bands having nourishment ministered, and knit
together, increases with the increase of God.
[20] Wherefore if you be dead with Messiah from the rudiments of the
world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to ordinances,
[21] (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
[22] Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
[23] Which things have indeed
a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the
body; not in any honor to the satisfying of the flesh.
These scriptures below in Rom.14 have nothing to
do with the Sabbath. These scriptures are talking about food, the clean and
unclean, also fasting.
No Sabbath issue here.
These Scriptures below are NOT talking about the
4th Commandment, the Sabbath.
Rom.14 - [1] Him that is weak in the faith receive you, but not to
doubtful disputations.
[2] For one believeth that he may eat all things:
another, who is weak, eats herbs.
[3] Let not him
that eats despise him that eats not; and let not
him which eats not judge him that eats: for God have
received him.
[4] Who are you
that judge another man's servant? to his own master
he stands or falls. Yet, he shall be holden up: for
God is able to make him stand.
[5] One man esteems one day
above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be
fully persuaded in his own mind.
[6] He that regards the
day, regards it unto the Lord; and he that regards not the
day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eats, eats to
the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to
the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks.
[7] For none of
us live to himself, and no man dies to himself.
[8] For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto
the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
[9] For to this end / result Messiah both
died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
[10] But why dost you judge your
brother? or why dost you set at naught your
brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Messiah.
[11] For it is written, As I
live, said the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue
shall confess to God.
[12] So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
[13] Let us not therefore judge one another anymore: but judge this
rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in
his brother's way.
[14] I know, and am persuaded by
the Lord Yeshua, that there is nothing unclean of itself (of the foods God told us to eat Lev.11): but to him that esteems anything
to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
[15] … if your brother be grieved with
your meat, now walk you not charitably. Destroy not him with your
meat, for whom Messiah died.
[16] Let not then your good be evil
spoken of:
[17] For the kingdom of God
is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
[18] For he that in these
things serve Messiah is acceptable to God, and approved o men.
[19] Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and
things wherewith one may edify another.
[20] For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure;
but it is evil for that man who eats with offence.
[21] It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing
whereby your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
[22] Hast you faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is
he that condemns not himself in that thing which he allows.
[23] And he that doubts is damned if he eats, because
he eats not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

In Geneses - Who was taken first and left?
Taken was the wicked, left was Noah and his
family, 8 people
The “left behind” books, series is wrong
At the end - Who will be taken first and who went
after?
Gen. 5, 6 - The world was taken, Noah
and his family was left.
Matt.24 [37] But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [38] For as in the days that were before
the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until
the day that Noah entered into the ark,[ 39] And
knew not until the flood came, and took them all away ; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [40] Then shall two be in
the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.[41] Two women shall be
grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Matt.13 [24] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his
field:[25] But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat,
and went his way.[26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth
fruit, then appeared the tares also.[27] So the servants of the householder
came and said unto him, Sir, didst not you sow good seed in your
field? From whence then have it tares?[28] He said unto them, An
enemy have done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt you then that we go and
gather them up?[29] But he said, Nay; lest while you gather up the tares,
you root up also the wheat with them.
[30] Let both grow together until the harvest:
and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather you together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but
gather the wheat into my barn.
[36] Then Yeshua sent the multitude
away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of
the tares of the field.
[37] He answered and said unto them, He
that sows the good seed is the Son of man;
[38] The field is the world; the good seed are
the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
[39] The enemy that sowed them is
the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the
reapers are the angels.
[40] As therefore the tares are gathered and
burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
[41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels,
and they shall gather out of
his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
[42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the
kingdom of their Father.
Who have ears to hear, let him hear.
[49] So shall it be at the end of the world: the
angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
[50] And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Rom.1:[21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as
God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their
foolish heart was darkened.
[22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
[23] And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image
made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts,
and creeping things.
[24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their
own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
[25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and
served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
[26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile
affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is
against nature: (lesbianism)
[27] And likewise also the men, leaving the
natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men
working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves
that recompense of their error which was meet. (Homosexuality between
men)
[28] And even as they did not like to retain God
in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things
which are not convenient;
[29] Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder,
debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
[30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil
things, disobedient to parents,
[31] Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful:
[32] Who knowing the
judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not
only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
1Tim. 1 [9] Knowing this, that the law is not made for a
righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for
sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of
mothers, for manslayers,[10] For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men stealers, for liars, for
perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound
doctrine;
Check your leader what he is called:
Part 1:
Yeshua said call NO ONE rabbi which means master, not teacher
Matt.23 scribes and the Pharisees
[5] But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make
broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
[6] And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the
synagogues,
[7] And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
[8] But be
not you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Messiah; and all you are
brethren.
[9] And
call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in
heaven.
[10] Neither be you called masters: for one is your Master,
even Messiah.
[11] But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
[12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
shall humble himself shall be exalted.
John 1 [38] … Yeshua turned, and saw
them following, and said unto them, What seek you?
They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted,
Master,) where do
you dwell?
[49] Nathanael answered and said unto
him, Rabbi, you are the Son of
God; you are the King of Israel.
John.3 [1] There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler
of the Jews:[2] The same came to Yeshua by night, and said
unto him, Rabbi, we know that you are
a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you doest,
except God be with him.
John.6[25] And when they had found him, Messiah on the other side of
the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest you hither?
John.20 [16]Yeshua said unto her,
Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, (my) Master.
What is sin?
1 John, chapter 3:4 Whosoever commits sin transgresses also
the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Does God have His own calendar?
God's Calendar as scripture states:
1. Nissan, Est. 3:7 - Ha Aviv , Exodus 12:2 and Exodus 13:4 - in English, scripture calls
it Abib
2. Ziv - 1 Kings 6:1 calls
it Zif - Not
called Iyyar as Judaism states
3. Sivan - Esther 8:9
4. No name - Tammuz is not the name of the 4th month as
Judaism states - That is a false God
5. No name - Av is not in the bible as a name
of a month - This is Not the name of the 5th month as
Judaism states.
6. - Elul is the name of the
6th month
Elul seems like it is the name of the sixth month by the two
verses below:
Neh.6 [15] So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of
the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
Neh.7 [73] So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the
singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt
in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
7. ha Ethanim - 1 Kings 8:2 - calls it ha Ethanim –
Tishrei is not in scripture and is wrong name as Judaism and
some messanics states
8. Bool - 1 Kings 6:38 - In
English, scripture calls it Bul - Not called Cheshvan or
Mar Cheshvan as Judaism states

Where are the Ten Commandments located in
scriptures?
Exod. 20 and Deut. 5 – read them
Are you keeping the Ten Commandments?
Deut.4 [13] And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded
you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of
stone.
What are the Ten Commandments?
Exod.20
1 - And God spoke all these words, saying, I am Yehovah your God, which have brought you out of the
land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shall have no other
gods before me.
2 - Thou shall not make unto you any graven image, or
any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the
earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for
I Yehovah your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that
hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and
keep my commandments.
3 - You shall not take the name
of Yehovah your God in vain; for Yehovah will not hold him
guiltless that takes his name in vain.
4 - Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six
days shall you labor, and do all your work: But the seventh day is
the Sabbath of Yehovah your 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: 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.
5 - Honor your father and your mother: that your days may
be long upon the land which Yehovah your God gives you.
6 - Thou shall not kill – murder
1 John 3 [15] Whosoever hates his
brother is a murderer:
and you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
7 - Thou shall not commit adultery.
Matt. 5 [27] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shall not commit adultery:
[28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
8 - Thou shall not steal.
9 - Thou shall not bear false witness against
your neighbor.
10 - You shall not covet
your neighbor’s house, you shall not covet
your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor
his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is your neighbor’s.
Matt.22
[36] Master, which is the great
commandment in the law?
[37] Yeshua - Jesus said unto him, You shall love Yehovah your
God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all
your mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it,
Thou shall love your neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Brother John said:
1 John 2[4] He that said, I know him, and keeps not his
commandments, is
a liar, and the truth is not in
him.
Rev.21 [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
John.14: 15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
John.15 [10] If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I
have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
What is grace? Favor, sometimes undeserved, kindness, mercy
Gen.6 [8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of Yehovah.
Eph.2 [5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with Messiah, (by grace you are saved)
[8] For
by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift (sacrifice) of God
Dose God love everyone, sinners, unrighteous? No
Pss.5 [5] The foolish shall not stand in your sight: God hates all workers of iniquity.
Gal.5 [19] Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
[20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife,
seditions, heresies,
[21] Envying, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the
which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which
do such things shall
not inherit the kingdom of God.
1Cor.6 [9] Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with
mankind,
[10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
You can lose your grace
Heb.10 [29] Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you,
shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of
God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified,
an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Heb.12 [15] Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up
trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Are the commandments applicable for today? (Yes in 2023

his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always.

life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
What is ignorant and
willful, presumptuous sin?
Here are some examples of presumptuous and ignorant sin

you shall take him from mine altar, that he may die.

among his people.

would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of Yehovah, and

that stands to minister there before Yehovah your God, or
unto the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the

Deuteronomy 17:13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and
do no more presumptuously.
Deuteronomy 18:22 When a prophet speaks in the
name of Yehovah, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the
thing which Yehovah hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken
it presumptuously: you shall not be afraid of him
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge
of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery
indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or
three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you,
shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of
God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified,
an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said,
Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, said the
Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It
is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Leviticus 4:13 And if the whole congregation of Israel
sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the
assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments
of Yehovah concerning things which should not be done, and are
guilty;

somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments
of Yehovah his God concerning things which should not be done, and is
guilty;

through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the
commandments of Yehovah concerning things which ought not to be done,
and be guilty;

through ignorance , in the holy things of Yehovah; then he
shall bring for his trespass unto Yehovah a ram without blemish out
of the flocks, with your estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of
the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
Leviticus 5:18 And he shall bring a ram without
blemish out of the flock, with your estimation, for a trespass offering, unto

offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
Numbers 15:25 And the priest shall make an atonement for
all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them;
for it is ignorance : and they shall bring their offering, a
sacrifice made by fire unto Yehovah, and their sin offering
before Yehovah, for their ignorance :
Numbers 15:26 And it shall be forgiven all the
congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger
that sojourns among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.

year for a sin offering.

atonement for the soul that sins ignorantly, when

that sinneth through ignorance, both
for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger
that sojourneth among them.
Acts 3:17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance you did it, as did also your rulers.
Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened,
being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
1Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning
yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance…
What is our righteousness?
Deuteronomy 6:25 … it
shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments
before Yehovah our God, as he had commanded
Be perfect?
The world has implanted in our minds and
consciousness thought advertisements on television, videos, social media, DVDs,
and other media the meaning of the word perfect.
We always hear about the perfect weight, shape,
smile, image etc.
We need to look into the word of God and see
through the scriptures the meaning of the word perfect.
A few examples of this would be:
1 - The world says be sexy, God says be holy. (Leviticus 19:2 ...You shall be holy: for I Yehovah your God am
holy.)
2 - The world says, no one's perfect, God says be perfect as My Father which is in
heaven is perfect. (Matthew
5:48)
3 - The world says, everyone sins, Yeshua / Jesus say, "Go and sin
no more". (John 8:11: ... go, and sin no more).
A simple understanding of being perfect is
examining yourselves if you are keeping the commandments. You know which ones you are keeping and which ones you are not
keeping.
In very simple terms, you are either doing
something or you are not; yes that simple, yes or no, 0 or 1, on or off.
You might need to make a few adjustments in your
life.
Paul says:
2 Corinthians, chapter 13:5: Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove your own selves.
Know you not your own selves, how that Yeshua the Messiah /Jesus
Messiah is in you, except you be reprobates?
Deuteronomy 8:2 And you shall remember all the
way which Yehovah your God led you these forty years in the
wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was
in thine heart, whether you wouldest keep his commandments , or no.
***Serving God is not a guessing game.
We have no excuse not to know. We have
God's Word as a study guide. God gave us one life span and one Book and there
will be a test!
Deuteronomy 18:13 Thou shall be perfect with Yehovah your God.
1 Kings 8:61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yehovah our God, to walk in
his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
Matthew 19:21Yeshua said unto him, If you wilt be perfect , go and sell that you hast, and give
to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and
follow me.
2Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live
in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
Philippians 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if
in anything you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto
you.
2Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good
works.
James 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that you
may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Remember
Paul said:
1 Thessalonians, chapter 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
2 Timothy, chapter 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Colossians, chapter 4:6 Let your speech be always with grace,
seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.
Colossians, chapter 3:16: Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the
Lord.
2 Peter, chapter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our
Lord and Savior Yeshua the Messiah. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Rom.12 [ 2] And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed
by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God.
What is love?
Is it Kisses, hugs, ice cream, cake and
cookies, sure but John said:
2 John, chapter 1:6:
And this is love, that we walk after His Commandments. This is the
commandment, that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
What does born again mean?
When we are born again, we are to renounce the
old Man. We should not bring over to the new man the old traditions, feasts or
anything from the past life of sin.
We are to be first babes in Messiah,
1 Pet.2 [2] As
newborn babes, desire the sincere milk
of the word, that you may grow thereby.
When you are born again, you have to realize as
a gentile, you are grafted into the natural branches, true believers, and all
of us are connected to Messiah Yeshua who is the VINE.
You are now equal to those who received and keep
God's Commandments.
We are all one in Messiah.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Messiah, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new.
Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,
even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of
twain one new man , so making peace;
Ephesians 4:24 And that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness
and true holiness.
Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image
of him that created him:
Romans 6: 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his
death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Ephesians 4:22 That you put off concerning the former
conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Colossians 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that
you have put off the old man with
his deeds;
Again, how should I dress as a woman? (The world says be sexy, God says be HOLY)
1Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not
with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 - But (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
1Timothy 5:2: The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters,
with all purity.
Do you know your body is the Temple of the
Living God?
1 Corinthians 3:16: Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that
the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17- If any man defile the temple of
God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you
are.
1 Corinthians 6:15: Know you not that your bodies are the members of
Messiah? shall I then take the members of Messiah, and make them the
members of an harlot? God forbid.
1 Corinthians 6:16 What? know you not that he which is joined to an harlot is
one body? for two, said he, shall be one flesh.
1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18:
Flee fornication . Every sin that a man doeth is without the body;
but he that commiteth fornication sinneth against his own
body.
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in
you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?
Where is God's New Year in the scriptures?
When is God's New Year, in the winter or the
spring?
Read Exod. 12 and Exod. 13:4 Abib - ha
Aviv = Spring, newness
Does Yehovah have His own feasts in
scripture? Yes!
Start with Lev. 23 and read http://oneinmessiah.net/Feasts.htm
Do you know you are the light of the
world?
Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city that is set
on a hill cannot be hid, neither do men light a candle, and put it
under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto
all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.
In closing for today:
There are many other simple questions you should
know the answers to, this is a good start.
Ecclesiastes 12:
[12] And further, by these, my son, my daughter be admonished: of making many books
there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
[13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of
man.
[14] For God shall bring every work into
judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it
be evil.
Shabbat Shalom
