My sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a
"sign"
Exod.31[13] Speak
thou also unto the children of Israel, saying,
Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is
a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may
know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
[14] Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto
you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever
doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
[15] Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the
sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day,
he shall surely be put to death.
[16] Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
[17] It is a sign between
me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven
and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

"7"
[33] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[34] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth
day of this seventh month shall be the
feast of tabernacles for seven days unto
the LORD.
[35] On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye
shall do no servile work therein.
[36] Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an
offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn
assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
[37]
These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy
convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt
offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing
upon his day:
[38] Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts,
and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give
unto the LORD.
[39] Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit
of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven
days: on the first day shall be a
sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a
sabbath.

Are you inquiring?
Ask, seek and knock
"They sought, they found, they read, they

Lev.23 [40] And ye
shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm
trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
Neh.8 [1] And all
the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was
before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had
commanded to Israel.
[13] And on the second day were gathered
together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the
Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
[14] And they
found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the
children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
[15] And that they should publish and proclaim in
all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch
olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and
branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
[16] So the people went forth, and brought
them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in
their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the
water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
[17] And all the congregation of them that
were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for
since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of
Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
[18] Also day by day, from the first day unto the
last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven
days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner
-------------
Let's read about a men who sought the Lord
2Kgs.18 [1] Now it
came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to
reign.
[2] Twenty and five years old was he when
he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His
mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
[3] And he did that which was right in
the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.
[4] He removed the high places, and brake
the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent
that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn
incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
[5] He trusted in the LORD God of Israel;
so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that
were before him.
[6] For he clave to the LORD, and departed
not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded
Moses.
[7] And the LORD was with him; and he
prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of
Assyria, and served him not.
----------------
2 Kgs. 22
[1] Josiah
was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years
in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of
Boscath.
[2] And he did that which was right in the sight of
the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside
to the right hand or to the left.
[3] And it came to pass in the eighteenth
year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan
the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,
[4] Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which
is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have
gathered of the people:
[5] And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that
have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers
of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to
repair the breaches of the house,
[6] Unto carpenters, and builders, and
masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
[7] Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was
delivered into their hand, because they dealt
faithfully.
[8] And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan
the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the
house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
[9] And Shaphan the scribe came to the
king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the
money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them
that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.
[10] And Shaphan the scribe shewed the
king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me
a book. And Shaphan read it before the
king.
[11] And it came to pass, when the king had heard
the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
[12] And the king commanded Hilkiah the
priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and
Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,
[13] Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for
the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of
this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is
kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of
this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.
[14] So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam,
and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto
Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the
son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;)
and they communed with her.
[15] And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that
sent you to me,
[16] Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring
evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of
the book which the king of Judah hath read:
[17] Because they have
forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke
me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall
be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
[18] But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the
words which thou hast heard;
[19] Because thine heart was tender, and thou
hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou
heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants
thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.
[20] Behold therefore, I
will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in
peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon
this place. And they brought the king word again.
--------------------------
2 Kgs. 23
[1] And the king sent, and they gathered
unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
[2] And the king went up into the house of
the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with
him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and
great: and he read in their ears all the words of
the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
[3] And the king stood by a pillar, and
made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his
commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all
their soul, to perform the words of this covenant
that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the
covenant.
[4] And the king commanded Hilkiah the
high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door,
to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for
Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them
without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto
Bethel.
[5] And he put down the idolatrous priests,
whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the
cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned
incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all
the host of heaven.
[6] And he brought out the grove from the
house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at
the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof
upon the graves of the children of the people.
[7] And he brake down the houses of the
sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings
for the grove.
[8] And he brought all the priests out of
the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned
incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba, and brake down the high places of the gates
that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city,
which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
[9] Nevertheless the priests of the high
places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of
the unleavened bread among their brethren.
[10] And he defiled Topheth, which is in
the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his
daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
[11] And he took away the horses that the
kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the
LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the
suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
[12] And the altars that were on the top
of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars
which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the
king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into
the brook Kidron.
[13] And the high places that were before
Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for
Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of
the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the
king defile.
[14] And he brake in pieces the images,
and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
[15] Moreover the altar that was at
Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to
sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the
high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
[16] And as Josiah turned himself, he
spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones
out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it,
according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who
proclaimed these words.
[17] Then he said, What title is that that
I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God,
which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against
the altar of Bethel.
[18] And he said, Let him alone; let no
man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet
that came out of Samaria.
[19] And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities
of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger,
Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in
Bethel.
[20] And he slew all the priests of the
high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them,
and returned to Jerusalem.
[21] And the king commanded all the
people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
[22] Surely there was not holden such
a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days
of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
[23] But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah,
wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.
[24] Moreover the workers with familiar
spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations
that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away,
that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that
Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
[25] And like unto him was there no
king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his
soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after
him arose there any like him.
[26] Notwithstanding the LORD turned not
from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against
Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
[27] And the LORD said, I will remove
Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this
city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name
shall be there.
[28] Now the rest of the acts of Josiah,
and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Judah?
Think you should be doing Halloween or Christmas?

Seek
the LORD
Isa. 34 [16] Seek ye out
of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none
shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath
gathered them.
Deut. 4 [29] But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and
with all thy soul.
Isa. 55 [6] Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye
upon him while he is near: [7] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will
have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Zeph. 2 [3] Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which
have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye
shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.
----------
Matt. chapt. "7"
starting on verse [7]
Ask,
and it shall be given you;
seek,
and ye shall find;
knock,
and it shall be opened unto
you:
[8] For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh
findeth;
and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened.
[9] Or what man is there of you, whom if
his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
[10] Or if he ask a fish, will he give him
a serpent?
[11] If ye then, being evil, know how to
give good gifts unto your children,
how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give
good things to them that ask him?
[12] Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should
do to you, do ye even so to them:
for this is the "law and the prophets". (that most of the churches "don't
read")
---------------------------
The Lord is displeased with people
like this:
Zeph.1 [6] And them
that are turned back from the LORD; and those that
have not sought the LORD, nor inquired for him.
Jer.10 [21] For
the pastors are become brutish, and have not
sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their
flocks shall be scattered.
Why rejoice? Here are 2 good reasons:
Deut.16 [12] And thou shalt remember that thou
wast a bondman in Egypt: ( old man of sin ) God delivered us.
Isa.43 [25] I, even I, am he that blotteth out
thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Think about the “7” month
– This might be when the second coming of the Lord takes place in someone's
life time.
We will be watching…
