The Gregorian calendar (Pope Gregory, 1500's) – August 8, 2009
--------------
We restore the calendar of God
We are now in the 5th month of God, no
name in scripture – 16th day
--------------
Question: Why should we not call the 5th month AV?
Answer: Simple, NO
----------------
Question: Why?
Answer: You shall not add neither shall you
diminish from any word which YHVH commands you
Deut. 4 [2] Ye shall not add unto the word which
I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the
commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deut. 12 [32] What thing soever I command you,
observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Prov. 30 [6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he
reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
--------------
Question: Why are we here today?
Answer: We were told to remember the Sabbath Day
to keep it holy
The 4th Commandment is a part of the covenant given to us
at Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan
Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy
work:
[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the
LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore
the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For the last 2 weeks I went over my checklist that I comprised
pertaining to these 2 questions:
Whom should I believe? Where
should I attend?
Again - Prove all things with the Word
Periodically, go over this checklist
as you carefully choose what congregation you attend and who you choose to
listen too. The checklist can be found on my site under “Interesting Subjects”.
-------------------------------------
This coming week we start our "Ad Campaign" for our Congregation on several
radio conservative talk shows.
Please get behind us with finances so we can
broaden our viewing area.
Need a blessing? (verse 10)
Prove YHVH
Mal. 3 [8] Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But
ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
[9] Ye are cursed with a
curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
[10] Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse,
that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now
herewith, saith YHVH of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to receive it.
[11] And I will rebuke the devourer for
your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall
your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith
YHVH of hosts.
[12] And all nations shall call you blessed: for
ye shall be a delightsome land, saith YHVH of hosts.

Today’s Topic:
Peace and Safety for the world?
Remember, for years, we
have been talking about these things:
----------------
Some news: August 6, 2009
Muslim leader wants Temple rebuilt
You can find this article on the net. (WorldNet Daily and others)
----------------
Here are some of the words of the article I would like to
highlight:
In a historically unprecedented development,
a famous Turkish Muslim leader and a prominent group of Israeli rabbis have joined together
on one of their declared goals, to rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
Adnan Oktar, who uses
the pen name of Harun Yahya, is a controversial but highly influential Muslim
intellectual and author with over 65 million of his books in circulation
worldwide.
Oktar recently met with three
representatives from the re-established Jewish Sanhedrin, a group of 71 Orthodox rabbis and scholars from Israel, to
discuss how religious Muslims, Jews and Christians can work together.
The objectives of the alliance include waging
a joint intellectual and spiritual battle against the worldwide growing
tide of irreligiousness, unbelief and immorality.
But even more unusual is their agreement with
regard to the need to rebuild the Jewish Temple,
a structure Oktar refers to as the "Masjid (Mosque)" or the
"Palace of Solomon." An official statement about the meeting has been
published on the Sanhedrin's website.
http://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/index.php/Hachrazah_5769_Tamuz_9
Concluding the statement is the following call:
Out of a sense of collective
responsibility for "world peace" and for "all humanity",
we have found it timely to call to the world and
exclaim that there is a way out for all peoples.
It is etched in a call to all humanity: We are
all the sons of one father, the descendants of Adam, and all humanity is but a
single family. Peace among nations will be achieved through building the House
of G-d, where all peoples will
serve as foreseen by King Solomon in his prayers at the dedication of the First
Holy Temple.
Come let us love and respect one
another, and love and honor and hold our heavenly Father in awe. Let us
establish a house of prayer in His name in order to worship and serve Him
together, for the sake of His great compassion.
He surely does not want the blood of His
creations spilled, but prefers love and peace among all mankind. We pray to the
Almighty Creator, that you harken to our Call. Together – each according to his
or her ability – we shall work towards the building
of the House of Prayer for All Nations on the Temple Mount in peace and mutual
understanding.
----------------
Mr. Oktar describes his
vision for the rebuilding of Solomon's Temple:
The Palace of Solomon is a historically important
palace, and rebuilding it would be a very wonderful thing. It is something that any Jew, a Christian or a Muslim should
welcome with enthusiasm.
Every Muslim, every believer will want
to return to those days, to experience those days again and, albeit partially,
to bring the beauty of those days back to life.
Joel Richardson and Adnan Oktar meet together in
Istanbul July 21, 2009.
Oktar has also stated that the Temple
of Solomon "will be rebuilt and all believers will worship there in
tranquility."
During his meeting with the Sanhedrin rabbis,
Oktar expressed his belief that the Temple could be
rebuilt in one year:
It could be done in a year at most.
It could be built to the same perfection and
beauty.
The Torah says it was built in 13 years, if I
remember correctly.
(Wrong, it was 7 years
and 6 month – 1 Kings 6:1 and 38)
It could be rebuilt in a year in its perfect
form.
Since the meeting took place, I have also had the privilege to discuss
these things in some detail with Rabbi Abrahamson and Rabbi Hollander, two of
the rabbis who met with Mr. Oktar. Regarding the rebuilding of the Temple,
Rabbi Hollander explained, "The building of the
Temple is one of the stages in the Messianic process."
But another possibility that has been presented
is that the Dome of the Rock that sits so prominently on the Temple Mount be
used as "a place prayer for all nations."
"This should be
fairly simple," explained Rabbi Hollander.
"It is said that the structure of the Dome
in Haram E-Sharrif (the Temple Mount) was originally meant by (Caliph) Omar to
be a House of Prayer for Jews, and the Al-Aqsa for Muslims."
However, he also explained that religious Jews
would not be able to enter the Dome of the Rock unless it had first been
ritually cleansed according to Jewish halakhic regulations.
----------
Other groups have also recently made news with
unique vision for the Temple Mount.
Yoav Frankel, an Orthodox Jew who has been deeply
involved in interfaith dialogue with Muslims, also envisions a shared Temple
Mount. This project is called "God's Holy Mountain" and is an
effort of the Interfaith Encounter Association, a group dedicated to promoting
peace in the Middle East. What is unique about the God's Holy Mountain project
is that it envisions the day when the Jewish Temple will exist side by side
with the Dome of the Rock.
"This vision of religious shrines in
peaceful proximity can transform the Temple Mount from a place of contention to
its original sacred role as a place of worship shared by Jews, Muslims and
Christians," said Frankel in a Jerusalem Post interview.
A colorful painting of this vision features
prominently on his website.
Here it is below: What
a terrible thought, 3 different gods ……….
Muslims, Jews and Christians share the Temple Mount in harmony.
A paper on the God's Holy Mountain's website,
written by an unnamed Muslim scholar, asks the following question: "Would
a Jewish synagogue erected on the Temple Mount or the Noble Sanctuary make the
Blessed Land less blessed? It will certainly add to its blessing because it will invite more voices that exalt and glorify the One
God, to whom we all pray."
The vision of God's Holy Mountain may not be all that far
off.
The Obama administration has also suggested that Jerusalem could become an international city
that would be shared by peoples from all three Abrahamic faiths.
Even the Knesset is getting in on the discussion. Members of the Israeli Knesset
gathered together last week with several Jewish scholars to discuss the role of
the Jewish Temple in Jewish life.

Let's read some scripture
False Peace
False Safety
Flatteries
1 Thes. 5 [3] For when
they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden
destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they
shall not escape.
----------------------
Dan. 11:
[21] And in his estate shall stand up a
vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom
by flatteries.
[22] And with the arms of a flood shall
they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of
the covenant.
[23] And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up,
and shall become strong with a small people.
[24] He shall enter peaceably even
upon the fattest places of the province; and he
shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he
shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall
forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
[27] And both these
kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they
shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the
end shall be at the time appointed.
[32] And such as do wickedly against the
covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries:
but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
[34] Now when they shall fall, they shall
be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. çÂìÇ÷ÀìÇ÷ÌåÉú
H2519 çì÷ì÷Ìä chălaqlaqqâh -
khal-ak-lak-kaw' - something very smooth; that is, a treacherous spot;
figuratively blandishment: - flattery, slippery.
Blandishments: something, as an action
or speech, that tends to flatter, coax, entice
BDB Definition: flattery, slipperiness, fine promises,
smoothness - slipperiness - fine promises
-----------------------------------------------
Dan. 11
[36] And the king shall do
according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and
"magnify himself above every god", and shall speak marvellous
things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be
accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
[37] Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, "nor regard any god":
for he shall magnify himself above all.

ëÌÄé òÇì-ëÌÉì, éÄúÀâÌÇãÌÈì
---------
The words "nor regard any god" sounds
like no religion or god as we know...
The words "a god whom his fathers knew not" (meaning himself)
The words “magnify himself above every god” – “he as God sitteth in the temple of God” need to be taken
seriously.
[38]
But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and "a god whom his fathers knew not" shall he
honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

YHVH, God (s) of his fathers
Construct form, plural
(Gods of)
The term,”God of
his fathers”, always refers to YHVH
2 Kgs. 21 [22] And he forsook YHVH God of his fathers,
and walked not in the way of the LORD.
2 Chr. 17 [4] But sought to YHVH God of his fathers,
and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
2 Chr. 21 [10] So the Edomites revolted from under
the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from
under his hand; because he had forsaken YHVH
God of his fathers.
2 Chr. 28 [25] And in every several city of Judah he
made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger YHVH God of his fathers.
2 Chr. 30 [19] That prepareth his heart to seek
God, YHVH God of his
fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of
the sanctuary.
2 Chr. 33 [12] And when he was in affliction, he
besought YHVH his God, and humbled
himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

The third temple of God before the day of
Messiah
2 Thes. 2
[1]
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and
by our gathering together unto him,
[2]
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor
by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of
Messiah is at hand.
[3]
Let no man deceive you by any means:
for
that day (the day of
Messiah) shall not come,
except
there come a falling away first,
and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
[4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,
or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing
himself that he is God. (Dan. 11:37 he shall magnify himself above all)
[5]
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
[6]
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
[7]
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will
let, until he be taken out of the way.
[8]
And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
whom YHVH shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with
the brightness of his coming:
[9] Even him, whose coming is after the
working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
[11]
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie:
[12]
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.
----------------
Dan. 11:
The man of sin
[21]
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the
honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom
by flatteries.
[22] And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before
him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
[23] And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for
he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
[24] He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the
province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his
fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches:
yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a
time.
[25] And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of
the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to
battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they
shall forecast devices against him.
[26] Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him,
and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
[27] And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they
shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall
be at the time appointed.
[28] Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart
shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his
own land.
[29] At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south;
but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
[30] For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall
be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so
shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake
the holy covenant.
[31] And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary
of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the
abomination that maketh desolate.
[32] And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by
flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do
exploits.
[33] And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet
they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many
days.
[34] Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help:
but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
[35] And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to
purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet
for a time appointed.
[36] And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall
exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous
things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be
accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
[37] Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire
of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
[38] But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god
whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with
precious stones, and pleasant things.
[39]
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall
acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,
and shall divide the land for gain.
[40] And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him:
and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with
chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the
countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
[41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries
shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and
Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
[42] He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the
land of Egypt shall not escape.
[43] But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of
silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the
Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
[44] But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him:
therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make
away many.
[45] And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas
in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall
help him.

A reminder:
The coming of the Son of man is with the clouds,

earth, nor in a secret chamber or desert)
"To meet the Lord in the air"
And
"So shall we ever be with the Lord"
The end
[1]
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him
for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
[2]
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you,
There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown
down.
[3]
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately,
saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?
and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
----------------
Matt. 24 [27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the
west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[37] But as the days of
Noe 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 Noe entered into the ark,
[39] And knew not until the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also the the coming of the Son
of man be.
----------------
Dan. 7 [13] I saw in the night visions, and,
behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds
of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near
before him.
[14]
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations,
and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which
shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Rev. 1 [7] Behold, he cometh
with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced
him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
----------------
Matt. 24 [30] And then shall appear the sign of
the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and
they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of
heaven with power and great glory.
[44] Therefore be ye also
ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
----------------
Matt. 25 [13] Watch therefore, for ye know
neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
----------------
Mark 13 [26] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power
and glory.
----------------
Luke 12 [40] Be ye therefore ready also: for the
Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the
earth?

glory.

said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man
sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the
clouds of heaven.

and glory.
----------------
Mark 14 [62] And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall
see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
----------------
1 Thes. 4 [16] For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump
of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are
alive and remain shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Acts 1
[1]
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to
do and teach,
[2] Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy
Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
[3] To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible
proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to
the kingdom of God:
[4] And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should
not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith
he, ye have heard of me.
[5] For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy
Ghost not many days hence.
[6]
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt
thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
[7] And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons,
which the Father hath put in his own power.
[8] But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and
ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
[9]
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
[10]
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood
by them in white apparel;
[11]
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Yeshua, which is taken up from you into heaven,
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (in the clouds)

Spot check current events
And watch those “eastern skies”
Again - The coming of the Son of man is with the clouds,
(Not sitting in a "temple" on earth
nor in a secret chamber or desert)
