Today, we sadly use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.
Today is June 10, 2023
June -- Juno's month
Middle English
jun(e)
Old French juin
Old English junius
Latin Junius "of
Juno"
Latin Junius mensis "month
of Juno"
Junius had 30 days,
until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.
Juno is the principle
goddess of the Roman Pantheon. She is the goddess of marriage and the
well-being of women. She is the wife and sister of Jupiter. She is identified
with the Greek goddess Hera.
The God of Israel has His own Calendar: Sivan סִיוָן see-van day 21
Esther 8:9 Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month,
that is, the month Sivan...
Today’s topic
People's
lives:
What
happened to a few people that were born:
One day, we all meet the Lord Yeshua
I
coined a phase a while ago:
You
are still going to meet the Lord, you could be rich, you could be poor, you
could be young or old, you never know when you are
going to meet the Lord.
A few different terms for meeting the Lord Yeshua:
Give,
or gave up the ghost
Be
gathered unto his people
Be gathered unto thy people
Ecc.8 [8] There is no man that hath
power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power
in the day of death:
First murder on earth: Cain slew Abel
Not much is mentioned of what happened to the Apostles
A few ages and how
some of them died:
Yeshua:
Luke 2 [42] And when he, Yeshua was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after
the custom of the feast.
Luke 3 [23] And Yeshua
himself began to be about thirty years of age…
John 8 [57] Then said the Jews unto Yeshua him, you
are not yet fifty years
old, and have you seen Abraham?
Mark 8 [31] And he began to teach them,
that the Son of man, Yeshua must
suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests,
and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
John
21: Yeshua talking to Peter:
[16] He said to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me? He
said unto him, Yea, Lord; you know that I love thee. He said unto him, Feed my
sheep.
[17] He said unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest you
me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Love you me? And
he said unto him, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love thee. Yeshua
said unto him, Feed my sheep.
[18] Verily, verily, I say unto you, When you
was young, you girded yourself, and walked whither you would: but when you shall be old, you shall
stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither
you would not.
[19] This spoke he, signifying
by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he said
unto him, Follow me.
John
the Baptist
Matt.14 [10] And he, Herod sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
Mark 10 [35] And James and John, the sons of Zebedee…
Acts.12
[1] Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the
church.
[2] And he killed James the
brother of John with the sword.
[3] And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take
Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)a
Judas
Matt.27
[1] When the morning was come, all the chief priests and
elders of the people took counsel against Yeshua to put him to death:
[2] And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to
Pontius Pilate the governor.
[3] Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when
he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
[4] Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.
And they said, What is that to us? see
thou to that.
[5] And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed,
and went and hanged himself.
[6] And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because
it is the price of blood.
Acts 1
[16] Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been
fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, which
was guide to them that took Yeshua.
[17] For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this
ministry.
[18] Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he
burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
Acts 1
– new apostle
[26] And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the
eleven apostles.
Acts.6
[1] And in those days, when the number of the disciples was
multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews,
because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
[2] Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and
said, It is not reason that we should leave the word
of God, and serve tables.
[3] Wherefore, brethren, look you out among you seven men of honest report, full of the
Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this
business.
[4] But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the
ministry of the word.
[5] And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith
and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and
Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of
Antioch:
[6] Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had
prayed, they laid their hands on them.
[7] And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples
multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were
obedient to the faith.
[8]
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the
people.
[9] Then there arose
certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and
Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia,
disputing with Stephen.
[10] And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the
spirit by which he spoke.
[11] Then they suborned
men, which said, We have heard him speak
blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
[12] And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes,
and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
[13] And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceases not to
speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
[14] For we have heard him say, that this Yeshua of Nazareth shall
destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
[15] And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw
his face as it had been the face of an angel.
Stephen
Acts 7 [59] And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and
saying, Lord Yeshua, receive my
spirit. [60] And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said
this, he fell asleep.
Apostles
are there until chapter 12
No
information of what happened to the Apostles
Then
Saul and Barnabas,
Acts 15
[36] And some days
after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every
city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
[37] And Barnabas determined to
take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
[38] But Paul
thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia,
and went not with them to the work.
[39] And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed
asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
[40] And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being
recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
[41] And he went through Syria
and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
Then
Saul and Silas
Silas is mention until Acts 18
Then just
Saul / Paul sailed all around
Phlm.1
[1] Paul, a prisoner of Yeshua the Messiah, and Timothy our
brother, unto Philemon our dearly
beloved, and fellow laborer,
[2] And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to
the church in thy house:
[3] Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the
Messiah.
Phlm.1 [9] Yet for love's sake I rather
beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Yeshua the Messiah.
Acts 28 [30]
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that
came in unto him,
[31] Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which
concern the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
No
information pertaining to what happed to Joseph, Mary’s husband. (Or Mary)
No
information pertaining to the rest of the Apostles
Let’s
read Heb. 11, a summary
Heb. 11
[1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen.
[2] For by it the elders obtained a good report.
[3] Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word
of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
[4] By faith Abel offered
unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,
by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his
gifts: and by it he being dead yet speak.
[5] By faith Enoch was
translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had
translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he
pleased God.
[6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he
is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
[7] By faith Noah, being
warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to
the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the
world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
[8] By faith Abraham, when he
was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an
inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
[9] By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange
country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of
the same promise:
[10] For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and
maker is God.
[11] Through faith also Sara
herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when
she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
[12] Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so
many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea
shore innumerable.
[13] These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but
having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and
confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
[14] For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a
country.
[15] And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence
they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
[16] But now they desire a better country, that is, an
heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he had
prepared for them a city.
[17] By faith Abraham, when
he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered
up his only begotten son,
[18] Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
[19] Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead;
from whence also he received him in a figure.
[20] By faith Isaac blessed
Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
[21] By faith Jacob, when he
was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the
top of his staff.
[22] By faith Joseph, when he
died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave
commandment concerning his bones.
[23] By faith Moses, when he
was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper
child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
[24] By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the
son of Pharaoh's daughter;
[25] Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than
to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
[26] Esteeming the reproach of Messiah greater riches than the treasures
in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.
[27] By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for
he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
[28] Through faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood,
lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
[29] By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the
Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
[30] By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed
about seven days.
[31] By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not,
when she had received the spies with peace.
[32] And what shall
I more say?
for the
time would fail me to tell of Gedeon,
and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also,
and Samuel, and of the prophets:
[33] Who through faith subdued
kingdoms, wrought righteousness,
obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
[34] Quenched the violence of
fire, escaped the edge of the sword,
out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the
armies of the aliens.
[35] Women received
their dead raised to life again: and others
were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
[36] And others had
trial of cruel mocking and scourging, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
[37] They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted,
were slain with the sword: they wandered
about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
[38] (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves
of the earth.
Rev 1
[9] I John, who
also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and
patience of Yeshua the Messiah, was in
the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony
of Yeshua the Messiah.
Πάτμος Patmos {pat'-mos}
Meaning: Patmos =
"my killing" - rugged and bare island
Of uncertain
derivation; Patmus,
an islet (island) in the Mediterranean:
Luke 20 34] And Yeshua answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in
marriage:
[35] But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither
marry, nor are given in marriage:
[36] Neither can they die any
more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God,
being the children of the resurrection.
[37] Now that the dead
are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
[38]
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
In closing for today:
Ecc.12
[7]
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave
it.
[13]
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his
commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
[14] For God shall bring every
work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be
good, or whether it be evil.
Yeshua said:
