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 21 century.  L

 

July 20, 2024 

July - Julius Caesar's month

Middle English Julie
Latin Julius "Julius"
Latin Julius mensis "month of Julius"
Latin quintilis mensis "fifth month" – today the 7th month

Quintilis (and later Julius) has always had 31 days.

Julius Caesar reformed the Roman calendar (hence the Julian calendar) in 46 BC. In the process, he renamed this month after himself.

 

We acknowledge Yehovah’s calendar,

we are in the fourth month of God, this 4th month has no scriptural name – day 14

 

for God’s months go to https://oneinmessiah.net/CalendarMonthsOfGod.htm

 

Tammuz is not the name of the 4th month as Judaism and some Messianics state - Tammuz is a false God…

Talmud - Sabbath 129a - Tammuz is the fourth month of the year, corresponding to about July.  Wrong…

 

Just like our new year is wrong - Exod.12 [2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

Exod.13 Abib / Aviv in Spring, not winter as we do today

Today is the 4th commandment, the Sabbath.

 

Sabbath is not a Jewish tradition.

Here in Genesis 2:2,3 there were no Jews nor Israel at that time.

Gen.2 [2] And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

 

In the 10 commandments in Exod. 20 or Deut. 5, the Sabbath is the 4th commandment.

Exodus 20: 8-11 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

[9] Six days shall you labour, and do all your work:

[10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD / 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 the LORD / Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD / Yehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

 

God's Sabbath starts Friday night at sunset (evening) and ends on Saturday night at sunset. (evening)

Lev.23 [32] … from even unto even, shall you celebrate your sabbath.

 

Isa.58

[13] If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Yehovah, honorable; and shall honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

[14] Then shall you delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yehovah had spoken it.

 

Lev. 23 [3Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of restan "holy convocation"; you 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, also a rehearsal

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

 

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. (they were not with God at this time)

[17] Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that you  do, and profane the Sabbath day?

 

Brother John said:

1 John 3 [4] Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

So if you break a commandment in the law it is sin.

Just start with the 10 commandments first…

 

Jas. 4 [17] Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.

Prov.28 [9] He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination

Today’s Topic:

Shadows of "things to come"

a long sound of a trumpet, a shout, people ascend up

 

Here we have Paul cautioning the Colosians:

Col.2 [16] Let no man therefore judge you in meat / food, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday / feast day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

[17] Which are a shadow of things to come (future tense); but / and the body is of Christ / Messiah.

Psalms 47:5 God is gone up with a shout , Yehovah with the sound of a trumpet .

 

1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout , with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God : and the dead in Christ / Messiah shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

 

A picture of the end:

Joshua 6

1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

2 And Yehovah said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.

3 And you shall compass the city, all you men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt you do six days.

4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns : and the seventh day you shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet , all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. 

6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Yehovah

7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of Yehovah

8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before Yehovah, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of Yehovah followed them.

9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets , and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets .

10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, You shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout ; then shall you shout.

11 So the ark of Yehovah compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

12 And Joshua rose early in the morning and the priests took up the ark of Yehovah

13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Yehovah went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of Yehovah, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

15 And it came to pass on the seventh day , that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times : only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

16 And it came to pass at the seventh time , when the priests blew with the trumpets , Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for Yehovah hath given you the city.

17 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to Yehovah: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

18 And you, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest you make yourselves accursed, when you take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto Yehovah: they shall come into the treasury of Yehovah

20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet , and the people shouted with a great shout , that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. (sinners lost)

22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she had, as you sware unto her.

23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.

24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Yehovah

25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

 

2Pet.3

[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

[11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

[12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

[13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

From:

Isa.65 [17] For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Isa.66 [22] For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith Yehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.

 

Matthew 24:

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet , and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Revelation 8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound , the mystery of God should be finished , as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

 

I remembered looking up these words many years ago:

60 matches for the word Sabbath in the NT – gospels amd letters

Matt. 24 [20] But pray you that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day

Luke.23 [56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

 

Life is one big journey to us, beware of sin!

 

Is the God of Israel with you? Are you keeping His commandments?

 

Are you meeting God on His appointed times, His congregations, assemblies, seasons, feasts, solemnities, with His people?

 

Most of the world is all doing the wrong feasts, going to the wrong assemblies, meeting with the wrong people and gods.

 

Here are the feasts of Yehovah

Lev.23

[1] And the LORD / Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Concerning the feasts of the LORD / Yehovah, which you 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; you shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD / Yehovah in all your dwellings.

 

[4] These are the feasts of the LORD / Yehovah even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons.

 

Read the whole chapter later…

 

After reading the Bible for many years, we came to understand that the feasts of God are all about Messiah’s first and second comings.

 

We can explain later.

 

Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks - Pentecost are in the NT / gospels and letters.

Yeshua, the apostles and Saul /Paul all observed the 3 feasts and holy days.

 

In the NT / gospels and letters:

28 matches for Passover

2 matches the feast of unleavened bread 

3 matches for the Feasts of weeks – Pentecost

First fruits - Messiah the firstfruits

John 7 [2] … feast of tabernacles

 

So why doesn’t any Protestant church or Catholic Church keep the feasts of God?

 

We know why the Catholic Church doesn’t keep the fourth commandment, the Sabbath

 

read this website and you’ll know why also - Catholics confess (oneinmessiah.net) just press  control and click on it.

 

The vast majority of Christian churches today teach the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, as a time for rest and worship.

Yet it is generally known and freely admitted that the early Christians observed the seventh day as the Sabbath.

 

How did this change come about?

History reveals that the Roman Catholic Church changed the Sabbath to the first day of the week.

They all frankly admit that there is no Biblical authority for a first-day sabbath.

 

All you have to do is read the 10 Commandments in Exodus 20 or Deuteronomy 5 and you see the Sabbath is the seventh day of the week.

 

 

In closing for today,

Life is one big journey with good times and sad times, beware of sin.

Fear God and Keep His commandments which are our duties to do!

Ecc.12 [13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
[14] For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Be safe out there, and may God bless you all today and forever


Shabbat Shalom
