Shabbat Shalom

שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם

 

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

 

Today is 1/20/2024

Yehovah has His own calendar which is deleted from the world

 

Shevat, the 11th month - Zach 1:7 - in English, scripture calls it Sebat, day 8

 

Today’s topic:

Our God

Part 1

The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor

I am the God of Abraham your father

The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob

Gen.26 [24] And Yehovah appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham your father: fear not, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

Exod.3 [6] Moreover he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

 

The only true God

Yehovah he is God; there is none else beside him

Deut.4 [35] Unto you it was showed, that you might know that Yehovah he is God; there is none else beside him.

[39] Know therefore this day, and consider it in your heart, that Yehovah he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

Deut.32 [39] See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. [40] For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever.

1Kgs.8 [60] That all the people of the earth may know that Yehovah is God, and that there is none else.

Isa.43 [10] You are my witnesses, said Yehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Isa.44 [6] Thus said Yehovah the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

[8] Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told you from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

Isa.45 [5] I am Yehovah, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me:

[6] That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am Yehovah, and there is none else.

[14] Thus said Yehovah, The labor of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be your: they shall come after you; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is in you; and there is none else, there is no God.

[18] For thus said Yehovah that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he had established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am Yehovah; and there is none else.

[21] Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time?

Who had told it from that time? have not I Yehovah? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.

[22] Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Isa.46 [9] Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

Joel.2 [27] And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Yehovah your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Hos.13 [4] Yet I am Yehovah your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but me: for there is no savior beside me.

 

God is outside of our reality, creation and universe

Psalm 113:4 Yehovah is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

Isaiah 40:22 [22] It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretched out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in:

1 Kings 8:27  But will God indeed dwell on the earth?  behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain you

Job 37:23 [23] Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

Isa.40 [28] Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, Yehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

Psalm 8:[1] O Yehovah our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who had set your glory above the heavens.

 

Loving and serving Yehovah

Deut.6 [4] Hear, O Israel: Yehovah our God is Yehovah:

[5] And thou shall love Yehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

[15] (For Yehovah your God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of Yehovah your God be kindled against you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

Deut.7 [21] You shal not be affrighted at them: for Yehovah your God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.

Deut.9 [3] Understand therefore this day, that the LORD your God is he which goeth over before you; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before your face: so shall thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as Yehovah hath said unto you.

Deut.10 [17] For Yehovah your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: [18] He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
[19] Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
[20]You shall fear
Yehovah your God; him shall thou serve, and to him shall thou cleave, and swear by his name.
[21] He is your praise, and he is your God, that hath done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.

Deut.33 [27] The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms…

 

One God

Mal.2 [10] …. Had not one God created us? 

1Cor.8 [6] But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Yeshua the Messiah, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Eph.4 [6] One God and Father of all, who is above all and through all, and in you all.

1Tim.2 [5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Messiah Yeshua;

Jas.2 [19] You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Exod.3 [14] And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I AM had sent me unto you.

  וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־מֹשֶׁה אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה וַיֹּאמֶר כֹּה תֹאמַר לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶהְיֶה שְׁלָחַנִי אֲלֵיכֶם׃

 (Exod. 3:14)

הָיָה ha yah

Meaning:  to be, exist… existence

 

 

John1 [1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

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.

John 6 [35] And Yeshua said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

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

John 10 [7] Then said Yeshua unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

John 10 [11] I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

 [36] Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, you blasphem; because I said, I am the Son / Word of God?

John 11 [25] Yeshua said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

John 14 [6] Yeshua saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 15 [1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Rev.1 [17] And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Rev.22 [16] I Yeshua have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Isa.41 [4] Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I Yehovah, the first, and with the last; I am he.

Isa.44 [6] Thus said Yehovah the King of Israel, and his redeemer Yehovah of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

John 4 [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth

Deut.4 [24] For Yehovah your God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

[31] (For Yehovah your God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he sware unto them.

 

God requires

Deut.10 [12] And now, Israel, what doth Yehovah your God require of you, but to fear Yehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

Ecc.3 [15] That which had been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requires that which is past.

 

God’s Commandments

Exod.16 [28] And Yehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

Exod.20 [6] And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Lev.22 [31] Therefore shall you keep my commandments, and do them: I am Yehovah.

Lev.26 [3] If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; [4] Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

Deut.5 [10] And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

Pss.111 [10] The fear of Yehovah is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures forever.

Rev.22 [14] Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Usage:  AV - ever 71, evermore 4, eternal 2, misc 5; 128 times

 

God gave us a:

Free will:

the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion.

Free moral agency:

is a concept that refers to the ability and right of a person to act according to his or her own judgment of what is right or wrong.

A free moral agent:

God made us sentient beings - sentient - able to perceive or feel things

 

Some people sadly are:

Atheist:

a person who disbelieves in the existence of God or gods

Madalyn Murray O'Hair Mays; April 13, 1919 – September 29, 1995)

In 1963, she founded American Atheists and served as its president until 1986, after which her son Jon Garth Murray succeeded her.

She created the first issues of American Atheist Magazine and identified as a "militant feminist".

Agnostic:

a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena;

a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.

 

Part.2

And now a mathematical possibility to examine today

 [1] Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

[2] And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

[4] These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yehovah God made the earth and the heavens,

[5] And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for Yehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

To follow up from last week’s talk pertaining to the end times, we have some other scriptures to examine with some thoughts we put together over the years.

 

I used the word approximate below because there are no actual dates in TaNakh and no actual dates in the Gospels and letters.

 

Some of today’s histories may say when a certain Roman ruler reigned in the Gospels and letters. However, there are no actual dates we can use…

 

We are aware of the Gregorian calendar we use today, that Roman rulers changed days of months at will. Who knows what else they changed. (They made up names of the months, added or deleted months) etc…

 

After 21, 22 years of this congregation, there are still many scriptures we don’t completely understand, in the fullest sense, pertaining to the end time.

 

Here is a small list:

 

The 6th day creation (existence of mankind)

 

The 7th day a Sabbath (it is finished)

 

The fall feasts (7th month - future possible end)

 

The Days of Noah (the coming of the son of man)

 

Book of Daniel (chapters 8, 19, 12 and others)

 

Books of (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, 1 Thes.5, 2 Thes.2, Rev. 11, 13, others also)

 

Book of Revelation (the beast, false prophet, the mark etc…)

 

The jubile (something to do with the end)

 

The year of release (something to do with the end)

 

Please notice during this talk:

The numeral 6

 

The days of creation 6

 

The years of Noah’s life 6

 

When Noah entered into the ark

 

The 7th day, Gen. 2, Sabbath - end of work

 

The seventh month: A memorial of Trumpets, A day of atonement,

The feast of tabernacles

 

The jubilee

 

120 times 50 = 6000

 

Year of release

 

Yeshua said:

 

As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

 

We shall start from the beginning, Genesis

 

Here are some of my thoughts in a nutshell:

 

Approximate Centuries of earth

Here we are in 2024 in the 21 century, which started in the year 2000 / 20 centuries past

 

Approximately another 76 years, will bring us to 2100 – 22nd century L

 

Centuries in a short summary:

 

We will look at the Books - Genesis to Malachi – approx. 4000 years or 40 Centuries

 

Yeshua was in the 1st century

 

Yeshua to the present, 2024 is approx. 2000 years or 20 Centuries

 

Simple addition

 

Total approximate years and centuries:

 

Approximately 6000 years or 60 centuries at the present

 

This seems to match our 6000 years of mankind, young earth concept.

 

Scripturally speaking, here are some of the things that will occur in someone’s future.

Some things below you know never happened yet.

The Gospel will be preached in all the world 

Time of trouble like never before 

 

False prophet – in end

 

Flatteries 

 

Peace and safety said 

 

Covenant for 7 years 

 

A falling away first

 

The man of sin – the anti-Messish

 

All the world will worship him 

 

One world religion 

 

One world monetary system 

 

Third Temple built 

 

The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet 

 

Two witnesses 3 ½ years 

 

Anti-Messiah 3 ½ years with all power and signs and lying wonders, exalted to god  

 

The beast and the image of the beast that comes alive 

 

Jerusalem compassed with armies 

 

Great sound of a trumpet 

 

The Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven

 

 

Next, we will examine some “feasts Yehovahthat are not completed as of 2024.

 

We are concerned with the fall feasts of God for the future:

 

Here is our understanding

 

Lev.23:

 

The 7th month of God

 

Trumpets - to be heard announcing the return of the Lord

 

a Day of Atonement - better be atoned when the Lord returns

 

Feast of tabernacles - tabernacle with God for eternity

 

 

Below are some backup scriptures:

 

“Come into the Arc”

 

Yeshua said:

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.

Luke 17

[26] And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

[27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

Gen.7

[1] And Yehovah said unto Noah, Come you and all your house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

[6] And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

Gen.1 [31] And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

The number 6 seems to show up above a few times

The 7th day it is finished, rested

Rested:שָׁבַת  shabath

Meaning:  1) to cease, desist, rest

Usage:  AV - cease 47, rest 11

Gen.2

[1] Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

[2] And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

[4] These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created in the day that Yehovah God made the earth and the heavens…

 

 

Back in Gen.6

[3] And Yehovah said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

120 years

 

By the way, people in scripture did live longer after chapter 6 states

 

Here chapter 11 and a short list of people that lived longer the 120 years:

Gen.11

[13] And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

[15] And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

[17] And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

[19] And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

[21] And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

[32] And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

Gen.6:3

[3] And Yehovah said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

 

Here is one possible concept:

The jubile may have something to do with the end times

Lev.25 – 50 years

[8] And you shall number seven Sabbaths of years unto you, seven times seven years; and the space aof the seven Sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

[9] Then shall you cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

[10] And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and you shall return every man unto his possession, and you shall return every man unto his family.

Messiah - Proclaim, preach liberty

Isa.61

[1] The Spirit of the Lord Yehovah is upon me;

because Yehovah had  anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
[2]
To proclaim the acceptable year of Yehovah, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
[3] To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yehovah, that he might be glorified.
[4] And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

Luke 4 [18] The Spirit of Yehovah is upon me,

because he had anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he had sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
[
19] To preach the acceptable year of Yehovah.

[20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
[
21] And he began to say unto them,

This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

 

Isa.62 [11] Behold, Yehovah had proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

 

The year of release may have something to do with the end times

Deut.15 [9] Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand

Deut.31 [10] And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles – 50

Was Yeshua in his 40s here, seems like it?

John.8 [57] Then said the Jews unto Yeshua, you are not yet 50 years old, and have you seen Abraham?

 

 

In closing for today,

 

Our God is eternally wonderful

 

As far as part2:

Remember, we are only explaining some of our thoughts and concepts of certain scriptures.

I am not saying this is the absolute true, just a concept we thought about for a while now.

You will just have to wait and see before 76 years expires and the 22nd century shows up - approximately 2100 years.

I will not be here for the 76 years, for I only may have 15 or 20+ years to live yet… Lord Yeshua willing…

 

If you have any other understanding of these scriptures, please let us know. Let us reason together.

 

Oh well, we put forward and move on J

Yeshua said: Matt 28: [19] Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

[20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Shabbat Shalom
