Shabbat Shalom

שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם

 

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

 

Today’s date is April 1, 2023

April -- Aphrodite's month

Old English April(is)
Latin Aprilis
Etruscan Apru
Greek Aphro, short for Aphrodite.

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

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and beauty. She is identified with the Roman goddess Venus.

 

 

The God of Israel has His own Calendar:

We are now in the 1th month of God, Day 10, called ha Aviv, Nisan, soon Passover and the Feast of unleavened bread again

 

 

I use too explain the Sabbath, the 7th day each week in detail, however here it is in a nutshell:

 

You can see God starts his days in the evenings:

Gen.1

[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. (all 7 days)

 

Lev. 23

[3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.

[32] … from even (sunset) unto even (sunset), shall you celebrate your Sabbath.

 

The Sabbath is the 4th Commandment (of the Ten Commandments), the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan

 

Here is the 4th Commandment:

Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Exod.20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shall you labor, and do all your work:

[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates

[11] For in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Remember: Sabbath

in all your dwellings…

within your gates…

Wherever you are at the time…

 

If you are not following the requirements of the Sabbath, you are in sin.

 

To us, today is the Sabbath, the 4th commandment of God, to most of the world it is April fool’s day

 

Today’s Topic

Review of Passover

 

Exod.12

[1] And Yehovah spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
[2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.


[3] Speak you unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

[4] And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.


[5] Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: you shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

 

[6] And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

[7] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.


[8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.


[9] Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.


[10] And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

[11] And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yehovah's Passover.

 

[12] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Yehovah.


[13] And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.


[14] And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a feast to Yehovah throughout your generations; you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

[16] And in the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.


[17] And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever.


[18] In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.

[19] Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eats that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.


[20] You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall you eat unleavened bread.


[21] Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the Passover.


[22] And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.


[23] For Yehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, Yehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.


[24] And you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever.


[25] And it shall come to pass, when you be come to the land which Yehovah will give you, according as he hath promised, that you shall keep this service.


[26] And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, what mean you by this service?


[27] That you shall say, It is the sacrifice of Yehovah's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.


[28] And the children of Israel went away, and did as Yehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.


[29] And it came to pass, that at midnight Yehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of
Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.


[30] And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.


[31] And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yehovah, as you have said.


[32] Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.


[33] And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, we be all dead men.


[34] And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.


[35] And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

[36] And Yehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.


[37] And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.


[38] And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.


[39] And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.


[40] Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.


[41] And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of Yehovah went out from the land of Egypt.


[42] It is a night to be much observed unto Yehovah for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of Yehovah to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.

 


[43] And Yehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the Passover:

 

There shall no stranger eat thereof:


[44] But every man's servant that is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.


[45] A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.


[46] In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone thereof.


[47] All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.


[48] And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to Yehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land:
for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.


[49] One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourns among you.


[50] Thus did all the children of Israel; as Yehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.


[51] And it came to pass the selfsame day that Yehovah did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

 

Ezra 6

[19] And the children of the captivity kept the Passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.


[20] For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.


[21] And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek Yehovah God of Israel, did eat,


[22] And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Yehovah had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

Saul /Paul said:

1Cor.5 [7] Purge out therefore the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Messiah our Passover is sacrificed for us:

 

[8] Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
