The Gregorian calendar (Pope Gregory) - May 23, 2009
--------------
Restore the calendar of God
We are now in the 2nd Month of God
called Ziv / Zif,
the 27th day
1 Kgs. 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 Zif, which is the second month, that he
began to build the house of YHVH.
[37]
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of YHVH laid, in the month
Zif:
æÄå - ziv - brightness, (figuratively) the month of
flowers
--------------
Reminder:
The new moon is coming! - The 3rd month of God - Sivan
May 26th, Sivan will start the evening May 25th
Esth. 8 [9] Then were the king's scribes called
at that time in the third month, that is, the month
Sivan…
--------------
Reminder:
We are counting the "weeks" not omers
An "omer" is a "sheaf" of barley - òîø omer - A dry
measure of 1/10 ephah (about 2 liters)
-------------
This is the "sixth
Sabbath" of the seven Sabbaths we were
told to count.
Lev.23 [15] And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after
the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: [16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye
number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto YHVH.
[21] And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy
convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a
statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

A "7" week journey to meet

How are you behaving these 50 days? (Spiritually)
---------------
We restore the Sabbath
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.

The

to our day in 2009.
Read Lamentations 1 to 5 - http://oneinmessiah.net/OurDay2009.htm
Consider... as they were, so are we today
- 2009
We are in
captivity
We dwell
among the heathen (nations)
None come
to the solemn feasts
The Sabbaths are mocked
The
heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should
not enter into thy congregation.
All have
transgressed and rebelled against His commandment
He hath
violently taken away his tabernacle (His Presence is gone)
The law
(Torah) is no more
Prophets
find no vision from the LORD
The
prophets have seen vain and foolish things
For the
sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the
blood of the just in the midst of her
They (we)
have polluted themselves with blood
Depart
ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not
Our
fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities
Woe unto
us that we have sinned!
Thou hast
utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
---------------------
In every
generation, I believe, there are always a few chosen people of God that try to
restore God's laws, commandments and
feasts before He comes back.

Isa. 58
[1] Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and
shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
[2] Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation
that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of
me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
[3] Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore
have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of
your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
[4] Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of
wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard
on high.
[5] Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow
down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt
thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
[6] Is not this the fast that I have chosen?
to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed
go free, and that ye break every yoke?
[7] Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the
poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover
him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
[8] Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health
shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the
glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
[9] Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall
answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take
away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and
speaking vanity;
[10] And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the
afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as
the noonday:
[11] And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in
drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and
like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
[12] And they that shall be of thee shall build the
old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and
thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to
dwell in.
[13] If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath,
from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt
honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor
speaking thine own words:
[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee
to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of
Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it

Jeremiah - I
ordained thee a prophet unto the nations - Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah
"In the days of Josiah "
Jer.1 [1] The
words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests
that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
[2] To whom the word of the LORD came in the
days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of
his reign.
[3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto
the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto
the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
[4] Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
[5] Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and
before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee
a prophet unto the nations.

No written law for a long time
(There is appox. 338 years from King Asa to King Josiah)
2 Chr.12 [1] And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established
the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD,
and all Israel with him.
2 Chr.15 [1] And the
Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
[2] And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto
him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and
Benjamin;
The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and
if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake
you.
[3] Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true
God, and without a teaching priest, and
without law.

Josiah
2 Kgs. 22
[1] Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah,
the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.
[2] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked
in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or
to the left.
[3] And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the
king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the
house of the LORD, saying,
[4] Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which
is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have
gathered of the people:
[5] And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that
have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers
of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the
house,
[6] Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and
hewn stone to repair the house.
[7] Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was
delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
[8] And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have
found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book
to Shaphan, and he read it.
[9] And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word
again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the
house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have
the oversight of the house of the LORD.
[10] And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest
hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
Josiah (In the 18th year of king Josiah )
[11] And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book
of the law, that he rent his clothes.
(There is appox. 338 years from Asa to Josiah)
[12] And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of
Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a
servant of the king's, saying,
[13] Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all
Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath
of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened
unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written
concerning us.
[14] So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and
Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of
Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem
in the college;) and they communed with her.
[15] And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the
man that sent you to me,
[16] Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and
upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of
Judah hath read:
[17] Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other
gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands;
therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be
quenched.
[18] But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD,
thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the
words which thou hast heard;
[19] Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself
before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and
against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a
curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee,
saith the LORD.
[20] Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou
shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the
evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
2 Kgs. 23
[1] And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the
elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
[2] And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of
Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the
prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears
all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the
LORD.
[3] And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD,
to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and
his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of
this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the
covenant.
[4] And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of
the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple
of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for
all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of
Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.
[5] And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had
ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the
places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the
sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
[6] And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without
Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and
stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the
children of the people.
[7] And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house
of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
[8] And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and
defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to
Beer-sheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the
entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a
man's left hand at the gate of the city.
[9] Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar
of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their
brethren.
[10] And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of
Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire
to Molech.
[11] And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to
the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of
Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the
chariots of the sun with fire.
[12] And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz,
which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in
the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them
down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
[13] And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the
right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had
builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the
abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of
Ammon, did the king defile.
[14] And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and
filled their places with the bones of men.
[15] Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar
and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it
small to powder, and burned the grove.
[16] And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were
there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and
burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD
which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
[17] Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the
city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah,
and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel.
[18] And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let
his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
[19] And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities
of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger,
Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in
Bethel.
[20] And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon
the altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
[21] And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover
unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
[22] Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the
judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of
the kings of Judah;
[23] But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover
was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.
[24] Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and
the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land
of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words
of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the
house of the LORD.
[25] And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the
LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might,
according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
[26] Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his
great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the
provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
[27] And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I
have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen,
and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
[28] Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they
not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Nehemiah and Ezra the priest
Law found again and followed - Temple rebuilt
Neh. 1
[1] The words of Nehemiah the son of
Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as
I was in Shushan the palace,
[2] That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah;
and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the
captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
Neh. 7
[1] Now it came to pass, when the wall was
built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the
Levites were appointed,
[2] That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace,
charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
[3] And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until
the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them:
and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch,
and every one to be over against his house.
[4] Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein,
and the houses were not builded.
[5] And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the
rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I
found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found
written therein,
[6] These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity,
of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon
had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his
city;
Neh. 8
[1] And all the people gathered themselves
together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they
spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the
LORD had commanded to Israel.
[2] And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of
men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day
of the seventh month.
[3] And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate
from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could
understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the
law.
[4] And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made
for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and
Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand,
Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and
Meshullam.
[5] And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was
above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
[6] And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people
answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads,
and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
[7] Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai,
Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites,
caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
[8] So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the
sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
[9] And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the
scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This
day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people
wept, when they heard the words of the law.
[10] Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the
sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day
is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your
strength.
[11] So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for
the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
[12] And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send
portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that
were declared unto them.
[13] And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers
of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to
understand the words of the law.
[14] And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses,
that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh
month:
[15] And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities,
and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches,
and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of
thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
[16] So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves
booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in
the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the
street of the gate of Ephraim.
[17] And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the
captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of
Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And
there was very great gladness.
[18] Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the
book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth
day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
