Shabbat Shalom

שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם

--------------------------------------------

This Sabbath is the third Sabbath of the seven Sabbaths we were told to count.

Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s

Today is April 28, 2018 - in the 21 Century

April -- Aphrodite's month

Old English April(is)
Latin
Aprilis
Etruscan
Apru
Greek
Aphro, short for Aphrodite.

Aprilis had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and beauty. She is identified with the Roman goddess Venus.

We acknowledge Yehovah’s calendar

We are now in the second month called Ziv /Zif – 11th day

Ziv = Brightness – (figuratively) the month of flowers

1Kgs.6[1] And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Yehovah.

בְּחֹדֶשׁ זִו, הוּא הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי

[37] In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Yehovah laid, in the month Zif

Part of April / May 2018

***Make sure you change your Judaism calendars – The 2nd month is not Iyyar as Judaism states, it is Ziv as scriptures states.

Our seven week journey again, spiritually speaking

Our seven week journey we observe, in memorial 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

The giving of the Law (10 commandments) and the giving of the Holy Spirit

---

A short review of the soon coming Spring Feasts and Holy Days

Remember: 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 ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:

[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto Yehovah.

Moving forward: We started our 7 week journey again towards  Feast of Weeks – Pentecost - the Feast of Harvest – the wheat harvest in Sivan

May 27, Sunday - a Sabbath

Esth.8 [9] Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan

Exod.34 [22] And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest…

Exod.23 [16] And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field…

In the 3rd month Sivan, day 20

Today’s Topic:

Messiah, The true light of the world

 

The True Light, Image

Let’s begin:

Back to the beginning

Gen.1 [26] And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

[27] So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them

Gen.9…for in the image of God made He man.

Messiah - Who is the “image” of the invisible God

Col.1

[12] Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

[13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son, Word made flesh:

[14] In whom we have redemption through (the son’s) His blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
[
15] Messiah - Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

[16] For by Him (the son, the Word) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and forHhim: (the son, the Word)

[17] And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

[18] And He (the son, the Word) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

[19] For it pleased the Father that in Him (the son, the Word)  should all fulness dwell;

[20] And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Messiah is the Light of this world

John.8[12] Then spake Yeshua again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

John 9 [5] As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

1 John 1 [5] … God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

 

Out of darkness, death cometh the light, life

Gen.1 [1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.

And the evening and the morning were the first day.

[14] And God said,

Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
[15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

[16] And God made two great lights;

the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: He made the stars also.

[17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
[18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

[19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

 

We are children of Light, Life – the Resurrection

Luke.20

[27] Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

[28] Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
[29] There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
[30] And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
[31] And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
[32] Last of all the woman died also.
[33] Therefore in the resurrection (which they don’t believe) whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

[34] And Yeshua answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
[35] But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
[36] Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

[37] Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
[38] For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

 

1John 3

[7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

[10] the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil : whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God…

Eph.6 [10] Finally, my brothers and sisters, be strong in Yehovah, and in the power of his might.

[11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,

but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

[13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

--------------

Back to the beginning

John 1

[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2] The same was in the beginning with God.
[3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

[4] In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.[5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

[6] There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

[7] The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.[8] He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.[9] That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

[10] He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew him not.
[11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

[12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
[13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 3

[14] And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
[15] That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
[17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

[18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

[19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

[20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

[21] But He that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John 5

[25] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
[26] For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
[27] And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

[28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

[29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

[35]Even John - He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

John 11 [9] Yeshua answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day (time)? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
[10] But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

John 12

[35] Then Yeshua said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.[36] While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light

[46] I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

----------------

1Pet.2 [9] …ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

[10] Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

[11] Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;[12] Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles…

---------------

2Pet.1 [19] We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts…

We are lights of this world

Matt.5 [14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.[15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all at are in the house.[16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Messiah - Luke.1 [79] To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace

Messiah - Luke.2 [32] A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Luke.11 [33] No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.[34] The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

Which are you above?

[35] Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.[36] If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

--------------------------------

The artificial light, false image is engulfing the world

The artificial image

The topic pertaining to false images not to worship is a vast topic.

 

Here are a few verses:

 

False images are everywhere!

Exod.20

[1] And God spake all these words, saying,
[2] I am Yehovah thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
[4] Thou shalt not make unto thee 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:
[5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I Yehovah thy 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;
[6] And
shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Exod.23 [24] Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

Exod.34 [13] But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

Lev.26[1] Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am Yehovah your God.

[30] And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

Num.33 [52] Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:

Deut.4[16] Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

[23] Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Yehovah your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which Yehovah thy God hath forbidden thee.

[25] When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of Yehovah thy God, to provoke him to anger:

Deut.5 [8] Thou shalt not make thee 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 waters beneath the earth:

Deut.7 [5] But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

[25] The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to Yehovah thy God.

Deut.9[12] And Yehovah said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

Deut.12 [3] And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.

Deut.16 [22] Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which Yehovah thy God hateth.

Deut.27 [15] Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto Yehovah, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place.

And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.

------------------------

I'm sure we are all aware of the book of Daniel and the story of the three Hebrew children that would not fall down and worship the image that Nebuchadnezzar set up

Dan.3 [17] If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
[
18] But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

------------------------------------

The last false Image

 

Rev.14 [6] And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
[7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
[8] And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
[9] And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,

 

If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

[10] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
[11] And the smoke of their torment
ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.


[12] Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Yeshua.

Rev.15

[1] And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
[2] And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
[3] And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
[4] Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name?
for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

Rev.16

[1] And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
[2] And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the
beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

Rev.19 [19] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
[20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.

These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

 

Satan - angel of "artificial" light

Satan’s ministers – false ministers of righteousness

Angels of “artificial” light

2 Cor. 11[14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. [15] Therefore it is no great thing if Satan’s ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;

whose end shall be according to their works.

--------------------------------------

Inclosing: Be aware of falsehood

Be aware of false images of love, false emotions, loneliness, depression…

Exod.20 [16] Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Exod.23 [1] Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

[7] Keep thee far from a false matter;

and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

Don’t testified falsely or have a false tongue

Lev.19 [11] Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.[12] And ye shall not swear by my name falsely,

neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Yehovah

Pss.119 [104] Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

[118] Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.

[128] Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

Shabbat Shalom
