Today we are still using the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s

The Gregorian calendar is the calendar used in most parts of the world today. It went into effect in October 1582 issued by Pope Gregory XIII, which introduced it as a modification of, and replacement for the Julian calendar.

 

We still use this calendar today in the 21th century, approx. 6 centuries later. L

 

When we looked up the names of the months in our calendar in the past, they said all the names they use come from false gods or they named the month after themselves.

Today is August 17, 2024

 

August - Augustus Caesar's month

Augustus Caesar clarified and completed the calendar reform of Julius Caesar.

In the process, he also renamed this month after himself.

 

The Julian calendar was proposed in 46 BC to the Gregorian calendar 1582 we are still useing today in the 21 century.

 

Latin Augustus "Augustus"
Latin Augustus mensis "month of Augustus"
Latin sextilis mensis "sixth month"  -  
today the 8th month

Sextilis had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.

30, 29, 31 days L  so what’s the date?

 

We acknowledge Yehovah’s calendar:

We are now in the 5th month of God. This 5th month has no scriptural name , day 12

 

Av is not the name of the 5th month as Judaism and some Messianics state which is made up.

 

Remember:

Deut.4 [2] You shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish ought from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yehovah your God which I command you.

Deut.12 [32] What thing whatsoever I command you, observe to do it: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Let’s start, a study from the past…

Today’s topic:

The procedures of God

We see the bible has all the procedures and answers to follow pertaining to the many things in our lives.

We are gods, judges - Judge righteously

 

Scriptures says:

Deut.1 [16] And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

[17] You shall not respect persons in judgment; but you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid of the face of man (kind); for the judgment is God's…

 

Prov.31 [9] Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

 

A few simple procedures in scriptures to follow:

Torah said:

Exod.22 [28You shall not revile the gods (judges), nor curse the ruler (leader) of your people.

אֱלֹהִים לֹא תְקַלֵּל וְנָשִׂיא בְעַמְּךָ לֹא תָאֹר׃

Notes: gods: or, judges

 

I remember when I found this in the scriptures many years ago, Yeshua was quoting correctly. J

Below:

John 10:34 - Yeshua / Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods?

 

The Law

In Exod.21:6 the words the judges in the Hebrew is the gods

In Exod.22:8 and 9 the words the judges in the Hebrew is the gods

אֱלֹהִים  - noun common masculine plural absolute  

 הַ particle - the

הָאֱלֹהִים

The gods

Exod.21 [1] Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them.

[6] Then his master shall bring him unto הָאֱלֹהִים the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him forever.

Exod. 22 [8] If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judgesהָאֱלֹהִים to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbor’s goods.

[9] For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challenges to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judgesהָאֱלֹהִים and whom the judges  הָאֱלֹהִים shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbor.

 

הָאֱלֹהִים

Notes:  gods: or, judges

 

Pss.82 - a psalm of Asaph:

God stands in the congregation of god, among the gods He (God) judges

gods = judges

  מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֱלֹהִים נִצָּב בַּעֲדַת־אֵל בְּקֶרֶב אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁפֹּט׃

 

Pss.82 [1God stands in the congregation of the mighty (gods); He judges among the gods (judges).

[2How long will you judge unjustlyand accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

[3] Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
[4] Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

[5] They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

[6] I have said, (in Exod. 21 – 22) You are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

[7But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

[8] Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

 

John 10:

[30I and my Father are one.
[31] Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

[32Yeshua / Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

[33] The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, make yourself God.
[34] Yeshua / Jesus answered them, Is it not written 
in your law, I said, You are gods?

[35] If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
[36] Say you of him, whom the Father had sanctified, and sent into the world, you blaspheme because I said, I am the Son of God?

[37] If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
[38] But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

 

Saul / Paul quotes Exod. 22:28

Acts.23 [5] Then said Paul, I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest:

for it is written, You shall not speak evil of the ruler (leaders, judges) of your people.

 

Lev.19 [18] You shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am Yehovah.

Yeshua quoted this:

Matt. 22

[36Master, which is the great commandment in the law / Torah?


[37Yeshua said unto him,

You shall love Yehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

[38] This is the first and great commandment.


[39] And 
the second is like unto it,

You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

[40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

 

Saul / Paul repeats this:

Gal.5 [14For all the law is fulfilled in one wordeven in thisYou shall your neighbor as yourself.

[15] But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed one of another.

 

James likewise repeats this:

Jas.2 [8] If you fulfill the royal law according to the scriptureYou shall love your neighbor as yourself: you do well:

[9But if you have respect to personsyou commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

 

We see in the scriptures that some people did not follow the procedures but were “wise in your own eyes”.

 

Here are a few verses:

Some people in scripture needed a physical reminder:

Num.15 [38] Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribbon of blue:
[39] And it shall be unto you for a fringe,

that you may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Yehovah, and do them;

and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:

[40] That you may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

 

They are right or wise in their own eyes, bad…

Deut.12 [8] You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

 

Judg. 17:6 and 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

 

Pss.36 [1] The transgression of the wicked said within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. [2] For he flatter himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

 

Prov.3 [7Be not wise in your own eyes: fear Yehovah, and depart from evil.

 

Prov.12 [15The way of a fool is right in his own eyesbut he that hearkens unto counsel is wise.

 

Prov.16 [2All the ways of a man (kind) are clean in his own eyesbut Yehovah weighs the spirits.

 

Prov.21 [2Every way of a man (kind) is right in his own eyesbut Yehovah ponders the hearts.

 

Prov.30 [12There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

 

Isa.5 [21Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyesand prudent in their own sight!

 

Prov.29 [1] He / she that being often reproved and hardens his / her neck shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

This is why we seek Godly counsel from Gods judges, leaders.

 

Prov.12 [5The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

[20Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace is joy.

 

Prov.15 [22] Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.

Prov.20 [18Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

 

Prov.24 [6For by wise counsel you shall make your warand in multitude of counselors there is safety.

Prov.27 [9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

 

An important procedure in scripture to follow:

We understand:

Deut.19 [15One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins:

At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

Not false witnesses

Pss.27 [12], Pss.35 [11], Mtt.26 [60], Acts.6 [13]1Cor.15 [15].

 

And to the Corinthians:

2Cor.13 [1This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

 

Proper procedure in a congregation:

1Tim.5 [1Rebuke not an elder, a judge, leader

but entreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

[2] The elder women as mothers;

the younger as sisterswith all purity.

[17Let the elders, a judge, leader that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine.

[19Against an elder, a judge, a leader receive not an accusationbut before two or three witnesses.  

(Above - Deut.19 [15] again)

[20] Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

 

Let’s look up “elder”

πρεσβτερος {pres-boo'-ter-os}

Meaning:  1) elder, of age,

1a) the elder of two people

1b) advanced in life, an elder, a senior

2) a term of rank or office

2a1) members of the great council (the rulers of the people, judges, etc., were selected from elderly men)

2b) among the Christians, those who presided over the assemblies, congregations or churches

Usage:  AV - elder 64, eldest 1, elder woman 1

 

To sun this all up, let’s review:

A ruler, a judge, leader, elder, man or woman:

curse not nor receive an false accusation against them

use 2 or 3 witnesses to establish truth

get wise counsel from godly people

nor bare a grudge

As you can see, there is a proper procedure to follow for a leader, a, judge, elder man or elder woman or anyone for that matter.

 

In closing for today,

To all the people that left us in the past, please follow the procedures above. Come back, let’s talk.

We are gods, judges, judge righteously in all things 

Let nothing or no one or situation separate you from God or the people of the Living God of Israel.

Follow Yeshua the Messiah, the Word of God, onward in God…

Be safe…

Shabbat Shalom
