Today, we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the
1500’s,
Today is April 10, 2021
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.
Yehovah God has His own calendar, which is deleted from the world
We are now in the 1st month of God in the scriptures called ha Aviv or Nisan - 27th day

This is the first Sabbath of the 7 Sabbaths we
were told to count
The New Moon report:
April 13, 2021 Tuesday evening (all day Wednesday)
This starts Ziv, the
second month
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 Ziv,
which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Yehovah.
Today’s Topic:
I have done this study many times. It is always
good to go over…
Our seven week journey again in 2021
Spiritually speaking
As I said before, this Sabbath is the first Sabbath of the seven Sabbaths we were told to
count.
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
We were told to count "Sabbaths" not the omer.
info: An "omer" is a "sheaf" of barley
עמר omer - A dry measure of 1/10 ephah (about 2 liters)
Here is where we received
our understanding to count Sabbath:
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.
So again, how will you be
behaving yourselves these 50 days?
(Physically and Spiritually)
Right after triumphing
gloriously
Let’s read:
Exod.16
[1] And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of
Israel came to the wilderness of
Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
[2] And the whole
congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the
wilderness:
[3] And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the
hand of Yehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the
flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for you have brought us
forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
[4] Then said Yehovah unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you;
and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in
my law, or no.
[5] And it shall come to
pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it
shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
[6] And Moses and Aaron
said unto all the children of Israel, at even, then you
shall know that Yehovah had brought you out from the land of
Egypt:
[7] And in the morning,
then you shall see the glory of Yehovah; for that he hears your murmurings against Yehovah: and what are we that you murmur against us?
[8] And Moses
said, this shall be, when Yehovah shall give you in the evening flesh to
eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that Yehovah hears your murmurings which you
murmur against him: and what are we? Your murmurings are not against
us, but against Yehovah.
[9] And
Moses spoke unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children
of Israel, Come near before Yehovah: for He had heard your murmurings.
[10] And it came to pass,
as Aaron spoke unto the whole congregation of the children
of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the
glory of Yehovah appeared in the cloud.
[11] And Yehovah spoke unto Moses, saying,
[12] I have heard the
murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even you shall eat flesh, and in
the morning you shall be filled with bread; and you shall know that I am Yehovah your God.
[13] And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the
camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
[14] And when the dew that
lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar
frost on the ground.
Pss.78 [22] Because they believed not in God, and
trusted not in his salvation:
[23]
Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,[24] And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had
given them of the corn of heaven.
[25] Man did eat
angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
Back to Exod.16
[15] And when the children
of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist (did not know) what it was.
And Moses said unto
them, this is the bread
which Yehovah had given you to eat.
[16] This is the thing which Yehovah had commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for
every man, according to the number of your persons; take you every man for them
which are in his tents.
[17] And the children of
Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.
[18] And when they did mete it with an omer, he that
gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they
gathered every man according to his eating.
[19] And Moses said, Let no
man leave of it till the morning.
[20] Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred
worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
[21] And they gathered it
every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot,
it melted.
[22] And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the
congregation came and told Moses.
[23] And he said unto
them, This is that which Yehovah had said, Tomorrow is the rest of the
holy Sabbath unto Yehovah: bake that which you will bake today, and
seethe that you will seethe; and that which remains over lay up for
you to be kept until the morning.
[24] And they laid it up
till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any
worm therein.
[25] And Moses said; eat that today; for today is
a Sabbath unto Yehovah: today you shall not find it in the
field.
[26] Six days you shall
gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, in it there shall
be none.
[27] And it came to pass,
that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and
they found none.
[28] And Yehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse you to keep my
commandments and my laws?
[29] See, for that Yehovah had given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the
sixth day the bread of two days; abide you every man in his place, let no man
go out of his place on the seventh day.
[30] So the people rested on
the seventh day.
[31] And the house of
Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white;
and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
[32] And Moses said, this is
the thing which Yehovah commands fill an omer of
it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I
have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of
Egypt.
[33] And Moses said unto
Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of הַמָּן manna
therein, and lay it up before Yehovah, to be kept for your generations.
מָן man
Meaning: manna - the bread from Heaven that
fed the Israelites for 40 years of wilderness wanderings - means 'What is it?'
[34] As Yehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony,
to be kept.
[35] And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a
land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the
land of Canaan.
[36] Now an omer is
the tenth part of an ephah.
Exod.17
[1] And all the congregation of the children of Israel
journeyed from the wilderness
of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of Yehovah, and pitched in Rephidim:
and there was no water for
the people to drink.
[2] Wherefore the people
did chide (strive, contend) with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And
Moses said unto them, why chide (strive, contend) you with me? Wherefore do you
tempt Yehovah?
[3] And the people thirsted
there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is
this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and
our cattle with thirst?
[4] And Moses cried
unto Yehovah, saying, what shall I do unto this people? They are
almost ready to stone me.
[5] And Yehovah said unto Moses; Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of
Israel; and thy rod, wherewith you smote the river, take
in your hand, and go.
[6] Behold, I will stand before thee
there upon the rock in Horeb; and you shall smite the rock, and
there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so
in the sight of the elders of Israel.
[7] And he called the name of the
place Massah,
and Meribah, because
of the chiding of the children of Israel,
and because they tempted Yehovah, saying, Is Yehovah among us, or not?
Chiding: רִיב riyb {reeb} or רִב rib {reeb} - Meaning: 1) strife, controversy, dispute 1a)
strife, quarrel 1b) dispute, controversy, case (a question or problem of moral conduct;
matter) at law
Let’s see what Saul (Paul)
said about this
Apostle Saul instructs the
Corinthians:
1 Cor. 10
[1] Moreover, brethren, I
would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the
cloud, and all passed through the sea;
[2] And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
[3] And did all eat the
same spiritual meat;
[4] And did all drink the
same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Messiah.
[5] But with many of them
God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
These things were for our examples
[6] Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil
things, as they also lusted.
Always watch the Mixt multitude:
אֲסַפְסֻף - a disorderly crowd, multitude; a mob
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?
[5] We remember the fish,
which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks,
and the onions, and the garlic:
[6] But our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna,
before our eyes.
Terrible things too say…
Back to 1 Cor. 10
[7] Neither be you idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to
play.
Exod. 32 [1] And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of
the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto
him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man
that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not (don’t know) what is become of him.
[2] And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which
are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring
them unto me.
[3] And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears,
and brought them unto Aaron.
[4] And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool,
after he had made it a molten calf:
and they said, these be thy gods,
O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
[5] And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron
made proclamation, and said, tomorrow is a feast to Yehovah.
[6] And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt
offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to
drink, and rose up to play. L
Back to 1 Cor. 10
[8] Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one
day three and twenty thousand.
[9] Neither let us tempt Messiah, as some of them also tempted, and were
destroyed of serpents.
[10] Neither murmur you, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
הַנְּחָשִׁים
הַשְּׂרָפִים fiery serpents (or poisonous snakes)
Num. 21 [6] And Yehovah sent fiery
serpents (poisonous snakes) among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Num. 11[1] And when the people complained (murmur), it displeased Yehovah: and Yehovah heard it; and his anger was kindled; and
the fire of Yehovah burnt among them, and consumed them that
were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
[33] And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of Yehovah was kindled against the people, and Yehovah smote the people with a very great plague.
Back to 1 Cor. 10
Take heed to these lessons:
[11] Now all these things
happened unto them for ensamples: (admonition, exhortation)
and they are written for our admonition (authoritative counsel or
warning), upon whom the ends of the world are come.
**[12]
Wherefore let him or her that thinks they stand, take heed,
lest they fall.
[13] There had no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man:
We may all go through
similar general things…
… God is faithful, who will
not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a
way to escape, that you may be able to bear it. [14] Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
This was great authoritative counsel and
warning…
Again:
Num.14 [22] Because all
those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and
in the wilderness, and have tempted Me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to
my voice;
[23]
Surely they shall not see the land which I swear unto their fathers, neither shall any of them
that provoked me see it…
Tempted: נָסַה nacah {naw-saw'}
Meaning: 1) to
test, try, prove, tempt, assay, put to the proof or test) (Piel)) to
test, try) to attempt, assay, try) to test, try, prove, tempt
Phil. 2 [14] Do
all things without murmurings
and
disputings: debate: - dispute, doubtful (or doubting), bad imaginations,
bad reasoning, doubtful thoughts… feeling uncertain about somethings.
[15] That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of
God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom
you shine as lights in the world;
Forget not God’s mighty signs, miracles and deliverances.
Don’t do any of these
things physically or spiritually:
Don't murmur or complain
Don’t trust in man
Don’t lust
Don’t be an idolater
Don’t commit fornication
Neither let us tempt Messiah
נָסָה nâsâh-
A primitive root; to test; by
implication to attempt: - adventure (risk), assay, prove , try…
And all the rest…
Watch
the mixed multitude that may try to sneak in among you to pollute you, your group, or
your congregation with false doctrines, their false ways… false feelings
etc..
They always look kind, nice,
use a soft, pleasant voice:
Rom. 16: [17] Now I beseech you,
brethren (and
sisters), mark
them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have
learned; and
avoid them.
[18] For they that
are such serve not our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, but their
own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the
simple.
In closing for now:
Please remember: The New Moon will be April 13,
2021, Tuesday evening
