  Shabbat Shalom

שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם

Let’s pray

 

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

Today is Sept. 24, 2016

 

September - the seventh month (now the 9th month, go figure)

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

----------

Yehovah has His own calendar

We are now in the sixth month of God called Elul, 22nd day

 

These 2 verses below indicated to us Elul must be the 6th month

 

Neh. 6 [15] So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, אֱלוּל in fifty and two days.

 

Neh. 7 [73] So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

We read from law and the prophets every Sabbath like they did in the Book of Acts.

 

Acts: 13 [15] And after the reading of the law and the prophets…

 

Luke 24 [44] And Yeshua said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

 

The Word of God - Torah, Prophets and Writings (psalms)

Ta Na Kk is an acronym for:

 

T = Torah (law, teachings) - first 5 books of Moses

 

N = Navi' eem or prophets (pl. sounds like - Na vi eem)

 

K = Ke'tuvim or writings (psalms etc.)

 

At this point, there were neither gospels nor letters.

--------------------

Today’s Topic:

Seems like a good time to go over the Sabbaths, the holy convocations

 

Question: So why are we here today?

Answer: We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy

The Sabbath, the 4th Commandment is a part of the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan

60 times in the Gospels and letters it uses the word Sabbath

 

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

זכר zâkar - zaw-kar' - A primitive root; properly to mark (so as to be recognized), that is, to remember; by implication to mention; make mention of, be mindful, recount, record (-er), remember, make to be remembered, bring (call, come, keep, put) to (in) remembrance

 

Back to Ex. 20

 

[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

 

[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah 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 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.

 

Rev.1 [10] I, John was in the Spirit on the Yehovah's Day - (The Sabbath) (The Sabbath Exod. 20:10 above)

 

-----------

Lev. 23 [3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, a "holy convocation"; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.

 

Dwelling מושׁב - môshâv - seat, assembly, dwelling-place, dwelling, your  situation, location, (at) time of dwelling

 

The Sabbath is a "holy convocation"

 

מקרא  miqra: convocation, convoking, reading, a calling together, sacred assembly, something called out, that is, a public meeting (the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal

 

קדשׁ kodesh: a sacred place or thing; consecrated, dedicated, hallowed, holiness, saint, sanctuary, apartness, sacredness, separateness, apartness, sacredness, holiness

 

No Servile work- melakat avodah   מְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדָה

עֲבֹדָה avodah - work of any kind: act, bondservant, labor, service, tillage, work

מְלֶאכֶת melakat - occupation, work, business public business

 

------------

Buying and selling is evil on the Sabbath

Neh. 13 [16] There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. [17] Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the Sabbath day?

 

 

Paul tells us: in Colossians 2:16 http://oneinmessiah.net/col216b.asf

 

Col. 2:16: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, 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.

 

Some Greek

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

--------

Holy day - εορτη heorte -heh-or-tay' - a festival: - feast, holy day

--------

New moon - νουμηνία - noumēnia - noo-may-nee'-ah - new moon

--------

Sabbath days - σάββατον - sabbaton sab'-bat-on Of Hebrew origin - the Sabbath, 7th day of week, repose from secular avocations;

 

Also there are 7 Sabbaths in the feasts of Yehovah which are commands to keep from God.

--------

Shadow - σκια skia : shadow, an image cast by an object and representing the form of that object, a sketch, outline

------------

 

Isa. 58 [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 Yehovah, honorable; and shalt honor him,

 

 1 - not doing thine own ways,

 

 2 - nor finding thine own pleasure,

 

 3 - nor speaking thine own words:

 

[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah; 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 Yehovah hath spoken it.

--------------------

 

In the 7th month, ha Ethanim there is 4 extra Sabbaths

Ha Ethanim - הָ אֵ תָ נִים

The alef and tav, first and last (forever)

Ha Ethanim = “enduring” - the permanent brooks flow

 

הָאֵתָנִים - ha Ethanim - Always with the article ha, the - permanent brooks;

Ethanim = enduring - seventh month, corresponding end of Sept, Oct. - so named because permanent streams still flowed - plural below:

איתן eythan - perpetual, constant, perennial, ever-flowing, ever-flowing (of a stream), permanence, permanent, enduring (figuratively)

 

Messiah is the Living waters:

Jer. 2 [13] For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

---------------

Jer. 17 [13] Yehovah, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yehovah, the fountain of living waters .

-------------

Question: Should we call the 7th month Tishrei like Judaism or some Messianics?

 

Answer: NO!

 

The word Tishri is not mentioned even once in TaNaK.

 

Scripture calls the 7th month ha Ethanim in 1 Kings 8:2

 

1 Kgs. 8 [2] And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month (ha) Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

 

It is the 7th month, not new years, Rosh Hashanah

 

God’s New Year is in Exod. 12:2, in Spring, at Passover

 

This month shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you

 

הַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה לָכֶם, רֹאשׁ חֳדָשִׁים:  רִאשׁוֹן הוּא לָכֶם, לְחָדְשֵׁי הַשָּׁנָה

There is no scripture to prove the world was created then nor can anyone prove it was Adam's birthday - all made up

--------------

Here are the dates for this year, 2016, match them to scripture

Remember, they all start the evening before!

Monday October 3rd, 2016 - memorial of blowing of trumpets - Sabbath

Wednesday, October 12, 2016 - a day of atonement - Sabbath

Monday, October 17th, 2016 to Monday, October 24th, 2016 – two Sabbaths - the feast of tabernacles

4 extra Sabbaths, Holy convocations

 

Feasts, Holy Days of Yehovah

Lev. 23

1 And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of Yehovah , which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts .

3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.

4 These are the feasts of Yehovah , even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. ‘

 

23 And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

Memorial of blowing of trumpets זִכְרוֹן תְּרוּעָה - 1st day

 

1 *** [24] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

דַּבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, לֵאמֹר: בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ, יִהְיֶה לָכֶם שַׁבָּתוֹן--זִכְרוֹן תְּרוּעָה, מִקְרָא-קֹדֶשׁ


[25] Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yehovah.

כָּל-מְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדָה, לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ; וְהִקְרַבְתֶּם אִשֶּׁה, לַיהוָה

 

Notice, verse 24 says the “First day” of the 7th month

The New Moon, you need to see the little crescent of the lesser light

 

The greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night

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:

 

וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, יְהִי מְאֹרֹת בִּרְקִיעַ הַשָּׁמַיִם, לְהַבְדִּיל, בֵּין הַיּוֹם וּבֵין הַלָּיְלָה; וְהָיוּ לְאֹתֹת וּלְמוֹעֲדִים, וּלְיָמִים וְשָׁנִים

 

[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.

 

וַיַּעַשׂ אֱלֹהִים, אֶת-שְׁנֵי הַמְּאֹרֹת הַגְּדֹלִים:  אֶת-הַמָּאוֹר הַגָּדֹל, לְמֶמְשֶׁלֶת הַיּוֹם, וְאֶת-הַמָּאוֹר הַקָּטֹן לְמֶמְשֶׁלֶת הַלַּיְלָה, וְאֵת הַכּוֹכָבִים.

 

[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.

 

----

Num.29[1] And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.

----------------

 The Day of Atonement - יוֹם הַכִּפֻּרִים   10th day

2 *** [27] Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto Yehovah.

אַךְ בֶּעָשׂוֹר לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי הַזֶּה יוֹם הַכִּפֻּרִים הוּא, מִקְרָא-קֹדֶשׁ יִהְיֶה לָכֶם, וְעִנִּיתֶם, אֶת-נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם; וְהִקְרַבְתֶּם אִשֶּׁה, לַיהוָה

[28] And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before Yehovah your God.

וְכָל-מְלָאכָה לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ, בְּעֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה: כִּי יוֹם כִּפֻּרִים, הוּא, לְכַפֵּר עֲלֵיכֶם, לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם

[29] For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

כִּי כָל-הַנֶּפֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא-תְעֻנֶּה, בְּעֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה--וְנִכְרְתָה, מֵעַמֶּיהָ


[30] And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

וְכָל-הַנֶּפֶשׁ, אֲשֶׁר תַּעֲשֶׂה כָּל-מְלָאכָה, בְּעֶצֶם, הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה--וְהַאֲבַדְתִּי אֶת-הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא, מִקֶּרֶב עַמָּהּ


[31] Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

כָּל-מְלָאכָה, לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ: חֻקַּת עוֹלָם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם, בְּכֹל מֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶם


[32] It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

שַׁבַּת שַׁבָּתוֹן הוּא לָכֶם, וְעִנִּיתֶם אֶת-נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם; בְּתִשְׁעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ, בָּעֶרֶב--מֵעֶרֶב עַד-עֶרֶב, תִּשְׁבְּתוּ שַׁבַּתְּכֶם

 

Num.29 [7] And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:

----------------

The feast of tabernacles חַג הַסֻּכּוֹת

 

3 *** [35] On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 15th day

בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן, מִקְרָא-קֹדֶשׁ; כָּל-מְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדָה, לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ


4 *** [36] Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yehovah: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yehovah: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein. 22nd day

שִׁבְעַת יָמִים, תַּקְרִיבוּ אִשֶּׁה לַיהוָה; בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי מִקְרָא-קֹדֶשׁ יִהְיֶה לָכֶם וְהִקְרַבְתֶּם אִשֶּׁה לַיהוָה, עֲצֶרֶת הִוא--כָּל-מְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדָה, לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ

Num.29 [12] And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto Yehovah seven days:

[35] On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein:

----------------

Remember, these holydays were observed a few 1000 years later in the Gospels and Letters. After Yeshua and all the Apostles died, it seems many of God’s observances and memorials were deleted again.

We shall revive and undelete them! We do these feasts in memorial the best we understand.

In closing: counting today, only 9 days left for the Holy days and feast of Yehovah

Remember, these dates all start the evening before!

Monday October 3rd, 2016 - memorial of blowing of trumpets - Sabbath

Wednesday, October 12, 2016 - a day of atonement - Sabbath

Monday, October 17th, 2016 to Monday, October 24th, 2016 – two Sabbaths - the feast of tabernacles

4 extra Sabbaths, Holy convocations

 

Exod.31 [12] And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

[13] Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying,

Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations;

that ye may know that I am Yehovah that doth sanctify you.


[14] Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you:

every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death:

for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.


[15] Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to Yehovah: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.


[16] Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.


[17] It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever:

for in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.


[18] And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

---

Deut.16 [13] Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:


[14] And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

[15] Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto Yehovah thy God in the place which Yehovah shall choose: because Yehovah thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

[16] Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Yehovah thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before Yehovah empty:

[17] Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of Yehovah thy God which he hath given thee.

Be ready!

Shabbat Shalom
