Today’s topic

A good time for a New Beginning

 

There is only one beginning of the year and one end of the year

Deut.11 

[12] A land which Yehovah thy Yehovah cares for: the eyes of Yehovah thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

 

Many other very important events happened on the first day, first month,

Let’s read

Here are some "new beginnings"

Exod.40 

[2] On the first day of the first month shall you set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

[17] And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the monththat the tabernacle was reared up.

[33] And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

[34] Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.

[35] And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.

[36] And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

[37] But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

[38] For the cloud of Yehovah was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

 

Gen.8

[13] And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the monththe waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

 

Ezra 7 

[1] Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
[2] The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
[3] The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
[4] The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
[5] The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehasthe son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:

[6] This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Yehovah Yehovah of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Yehovah his Yehovah upon him.

[9] For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon,

and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his Yehovah upon him.

[10] For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of Yehovah, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.

Ezra 10 

[17] And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.

 

Ezek. 29 

[17] And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the monththe word of Yehovah came unto me, saying,

[18] Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:

[19] Therefore thus said the Lord Yehovah ; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

[20] I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, said the Lord Yehovah .

[21] In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.

 

The beginning of barley harvest

Ruth 1 

[22] So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.

 

2 Sam. 21 

[9] And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before Yehovah: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.

 

A good time to be New and come out and be separate

 

By strength of hand Yehovah brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage (for us, our last life of sin)

 

Exod. 13 

[3] And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yehovah brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

[8] And you shall shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which Yehovah did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

[9] And it shall be for a sign unto you upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that Yehovah's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand had Yehovah brought you out of Egypt.

[14] And it shall be when thy son asketh you in time to come, saying, What is this?

that you shall say unto him, By strength of hand Yehovah brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

[15] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Yehovah slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to Yehovah all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

 

Deut. 6 

[20] And when thy son asks you in time to come, sayingWhat mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Yehovah our God had commanded you?

[21] Then you shall say unto thy sonWe were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and Yehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

[22] And Yehovah showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

[23] And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

[24] And Yehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

[25] And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yehovah our God, as he had commanded us.

 

Always, watch out for the mixed multitude that may try to join you

Exod. 12 

[38] And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

Num. 11 

[4] And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

Neh. 13 

[3] Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

 

Come out and be separate

 

Rev. 18 

[4] And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

 

Separate yourselves from this world, be born from aboveborn of the water and spiritborn again, a New person!

John 3 

[3] Yeshua ... said ... Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Yehovah.

[5] Yeshua answered, verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirithe cannot enter into the kingdom of Yehovah.

[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh;and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.[7] Marvel not that I said unto you, you must be born again!

 

The New Covenant, Testament

Who was the new covenant given to?

And what is the new covenant?

Jer.31

[31] Behold, the days come, said Yehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

[32] 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 (the people) brake, although I was an husband unto them, said Yehovah:  

[33] But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;

[34] And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, 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.

Paul quotes Jer.31

Heb.8

[8] [8] For finding fault with them, (the people) 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:

[9] 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.

[10] For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, said the Lord; 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:

[11] And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

[12] For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

 

Heb.12

[24] And to Yeshua the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling

 

Exod.24 

[8] And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which Yehovah had made with you concerning all these words

 

Heb.10 

[14] For by one offering he had perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
[15] Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

[16] This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, said the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

[17] And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

[18] Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

[19] Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Yeshua,

[20] By a new and living way, which he had consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

[21] And having an high priest over the house of God;

[22] Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

[23] Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

[24] And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

[25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

[26] For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth 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 ye, shall he be thought worthy, who had trodden under foot the Son of God, and had counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and had done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

[30] For we know him that had 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

 

A new heart and a new spirit, a new creature

Ezek.11 

[19] And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

Ezek. 18 

[31] Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Ezek. 36 

[26] A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

"a new man, a new woman"

Eph. 4 

[22] That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

[23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

[24] And that ye put on the new man, which after Yehovah is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Col. 3 

[9] Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

[10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

 

2 Cor. 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.

 

1 Pet. 1 [22] Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

[23] Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of Yehovah, which liveth and abideth for ever.

[24] For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

[25] But the word of Yehovah endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

 

Rev. 21 

[5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.  

And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

 

New Jerusalem, new heavens and a new earth

Isa.65 

[17] For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:

 and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

 

Isa.66 

[22] For as the new heavens and the new earth,

which I will make, shall remain before me, said Yehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.

 

2 Pet.3 

[13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

 

Rev.3 

[12] Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Rev.21 

[2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

 

We will be changed, a new body, one day

Job.14 

[14] If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

 

1Cor.15 

[51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed

[52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

 

It is very important to remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yehovah brought you out from this place. - for us, our last live of sin

 

Let’s start a "new beginning" with the people of Yehovah

 

In closing,
