months
Recently I received two emails
pertaining to the calendar of God
Let’s go over this:
Saul says to the Colossians:
Colossians 2:16: Let no man therefore judge you in meat (food), or in drink, or in respect of an holyday (not holiday) or of
the new moon, or of the
Sabbath days: 17: Which are a shadow of "things
to come"; ( future tense ) but
the body is of Messiah.
judge - κρινω krino: to try to condemn, to separate, put asunder, to pick out,
to be of opinion, judge, to pronounce an opinion concerning right and wrong, to
contend, to dispute
Meat (food) God told us what to eat and not eat – Lev. 11
New moon – the new moon
Holyday εορτη heorte -heh-or-tay'
- a festival: - feast, holyday.
Shadow σκια skia : shadow, an image cast by an object and
representing the form of that object, a sketch, outline

Deut.1 – the first day of the eleventh
month
[1] These be the words
which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan
in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
[2] (There are eleven
days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.)
[3] And it came
to pass in the fortieth year, in the
eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake
unto the children of Israel, according unto all that Yehovah
had given him in commandment unto them;
[4] After he had slain Sihon
the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and
Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
[5] On this side
Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
[6] Yehovah our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
[7] Turn you, and
take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places
nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south,
and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the
great river, the river Euphrates.
[8] Behold, I have
set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Yehovah
sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
to give unto them and to their seed after them.
[9] And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear
you myself alone:
[10] Yehovah your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are
this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
[11] (Yehovah God of your fathers make you a thousand times so
many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
[12] How can I myself
alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
[13] Take you wise
men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them
rulers over you.
[14] And ye answered
me, and said, the thing which thou hast spoken is good
for us to do.
[15] So I took the
chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you,
captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties,
and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
[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] Ye shall not
respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great;
ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the
cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
[18] And I commanded
you at that time all the things which ye should do.
[19] And when we
departed from Horeb, we went through all that great
and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the
Amorites, as Yehovah our God commanded us; and we
came to Kadesh-barnea.
[20] And I said unto
you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites,
which Yehovah our God doth give unto us.
[21] Behold, Yehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and
possess it, as Yehovah God of thy fathers hath said
unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
[22] And ye came near
unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men
before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by
what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
[23] And the saying
pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
[24] And they turned
and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol,
and searched it out.
[25] And they took of
the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought
us word again, and said, It is a good land which Yehovah our God doth give us.
[26] Notwithstanding
ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yehovah
your God:
[27] And ye murmured
in your tents, and said, Because Yehovah hated us, he
hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of
the Amorites, to destroy us.
[28] Whither shall we
go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart,
saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and
walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
[29] Then I said unto
you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
[30] Yehovah your God which goeth
before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in
Egypt before your eyes;
[31] And in the
wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Yehovah thy
God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until
ye came into this place.
[32] Yet in this thing
ye did not believe Yehovah your God,
[33] Who went in the
way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by
night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a
cloud by day.
[34] And Yehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
[35] Surely there
shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
[36] Save Caleb the
son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I
give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath
wholly followed Yehovah.
[37] Also Yehovah was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also
shalt not go in thither.
[38] But Joshua the
son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go
in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
[39] Moreover your
little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that
day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto
them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
[40] But as for you,
turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
[41] Then ye answered
and said unto me, We have sinned against Yehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yehovah our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on
every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
[42] And Yehovah said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither
fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
[43] So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against
the commandment of Yehovah, and went presumptuously up
into the hill.
[44] And the Amorites,
which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do,
and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
[45] And ye returned
and wept before Yehovah; but Yehovah
would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
[46] So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode
there.
Zech.1 – the 24 day of the eleventh month
[1] In the eighth month, in the second year of
Darius, came the word of Yehovah unto Zechariah, the
son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo
the prophet, saying,
[2]
Yehovah hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
[3]
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith Yehovah of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith
Yehovah of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith Yehovah of hosts.
[4]
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying,
Thus saith Yehovah of
hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did
not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith Yehovah.
[5]
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do
they live for ever?
[6]
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and
they returned and said, Like as Yehovah of hosts thought
to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he
dealt with us.
[7]
Upon the four and twentieth day of
the eleventh month, which is
the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came
the word of Yehovah unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the
prophet, saying,
[8]
I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among
the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses,
speckled, and white.
[9]
Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said
unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
[10]
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom Yehovah hath
sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
[11]
And they answered the angel of Yehovah that stood
among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to
and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth
still, and is at rest.
[12]
Then the angel of Yehovah answered and said, O LORD
of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of
Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
[13]
And Yehovah answered the angel that talked with me
with good words and comfortable words.
[14]
So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Yehovah
of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
[15]
And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but
a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
[16]
Therefore thus saith Yehovah;
I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith Yehovah of hosts, and a
line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
[17]
Cry yet, saying, Thus saith Yehovah of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be
spread abroad; and Yehovah shall yet comfort Zion,
and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
[18]
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four
horns.
[19]
And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be
these? And he answered me, These are the horns which
have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
[20]
And Yehovah shewed me four carpenters.
[21]
Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake,
saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift
up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the
Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
Another captain
1 Chr. 27 [14] The
eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah
the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in
his course were twenty and four thousand.
Let’s go over the months in the
Scriptures
Gen.1 [14] And God said, Let
there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the
night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
[15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the
heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
[16] And God made two
great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule
the night: he made the stars also.
[17] And God set them
in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
[18] And to rule over
the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God
saw that it was good.
[19] And the evening
and the morning were the fourth day.
Pss.104 [19] He appointed the moon for seasons:
Pss.104 [19] He, God
appointed the moon for seasons:
12 months
Esth.3 [7] In the first month, that is, the
month Nisan,
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.
Exod.13 [4] this day came ye out in the month Abib,
הָאָבִיב
By
the way, there are many types of barley. Just use the scriptures for clarity so
there will be no confusion.
2 - Ziv
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 זִו
3 - Sivan
Esth.8 [9] Then
were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the
month Sivan,
4 - No name
Not
Judaism’s made up name - Tammuz
Ezek.
8 [13] He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and
thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. [14] Then he
brought me to the door of the gate of Yehovah's house
which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women
weeping for Tammuz. [15] Then said he unto me, Hast
thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and
thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
(A pagan deity)
5 – No name
Nor
Judaism’s made up name - Ab /Av
6
Elul -
no direct verse to name this month. Two verses to prove the name.
Neh.6 [15] So
the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul אֱלוּל
7 – ha Ethanim
Not
Judaism’s made up name Tisre – not Rosh Ha Shana (head of the
year) not New Year, not Adam’s birth day, not
when the world was created…
1Kgs.8 [2] And
all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in
the month Ethanim, הָאֵתָנִים which is the seventh month…
8 – Bul
Not
Judaism’s made up names Marheshvan - Heshvan
Talmud
- Mas. Rosh HaShana
7a - Talmud - Mas. Rosh HaShana 11b
Marheshvan - Heshvan are names of the 8th month found in
the Talmud not the Hebrew Bible
1Kgs.6 [38] And in the eleventh
year, in the month Bul, בּוּל which is the eighth month was the house finished
throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So
was he seven years in building it.
9 - Chislev

the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Yehovah
came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;

unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the
tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, טֵבֵת in the seventh year of his

Zech.1 [1] In the eighth month, in
the second year of Darius, came the word of Yehovah
unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, [7] Upon the four and twentieth
day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat
/ Sh’vat
12 - Adar
Esth.3 [7]…the twelfth month,
that is, the month Adar אֲדָר
I
guess Judaism forgot these verses when they made up names for God’s months
Deut.4 [2] You shall
not add unto the word which I
command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the
commandments of Yehovah your God which I command you.
Deut.5 [22] These
words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the
mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness,
with a great voice: and he added
no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and
delivered them unto me.
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.
The scriptural list goes like this:
1 - Nisan, ha aviv
2 - Ziv
3 - Sivan
4 - No name
5 - No name
6 - Elul
8 -Bul
9- Chislev
10 - Teveth
11 – Sh’vat
12 - Adar
That’s it!
