Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s,
May 16, 2015
May -- Maia's month
Old French Mai - Old English Maius - Latin Maius "of Maia" - Latin Maius mensis "month of Maia"
Maius has always had 31 days.
Maia (meaning "the great one") is the Italic goddess of spring, the daughter of Faunus, and wife of Vulcan.
-----------------
We acknowledge God’s calendar
We are now in:
זִו Ziv, which is the second month, 26th day
1Kgs.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 Yehovah.
ziv - brightness, (figuratively) the month of flowers
***Make sure you change your Judaism calendars – The 2nd month is not Iyyar as Judaism states, it is Ziv.

Just a reminder:
We are counting the "Sabbaths" not omers
An "omer" is a "sheaf" of barley -עמר omer - A dry measure of 1/10 ephah (about 2 liters)
-------------
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 Yehovah.
7 Sabbaths from first fruits plus one day, or 50 days later is May 24, 2015, Sunday, the feast of weeks, Pentecost, a Sabbath
This is our sixth Sabbath of the 7 Sabbaths we were told to count.

A "7" week journey to meet God again (Spiritually)
How are you doing?

Next Tuesday
evening starts the new moon, 3rd month of God called Sivan
Esth.8 [9] Then
were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the
month Sivan,
סִיוָן
-----------------------------
Today’s topic:
סִיוָן
– Sivan, the
3rd month
Why do I want to talk about Sivan?
Well, most people never heard of the calendar of God
Here are a few verses:
Esth.7
[1] So the king
and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
[2] And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet
of wine, What
is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be
granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be
performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
[3] Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour
in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my
petition, and my people at my request:
[4] For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and
to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my
tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
[5] Then the king Ahasuerus
answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where
is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
[6] And Esther said, The adversary and
enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the
queen.
[7] And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into
the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther
the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
[8] Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of
the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then
said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word
went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
[9] And Harbonah,
one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty
cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the
king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
[10] So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for
Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
Esth.8
[1] On that day did
the king Ahasuerus
give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen.
And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
[2] And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and
gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
[3] And Esther spake yet again before the king,
and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief
of Haman the Agagite,
and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
[4] Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So
Esther arose, and stood before the king,
[5] And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour
in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in
his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha
the Agagite,
which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:
[6] For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people?
or
how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
[7] Then the king Ahasuerus
said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther
the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid
his hand upon the Jews.
[8] Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh
you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing
which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no
man reverse.
[9] Then
were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the
month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written
according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants,
and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto
Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according
to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the
Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
[10] And he wrote
in the king Ahasuerus'
name, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by posts on
horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
[11] Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to
gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay,
and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would
assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a
prey,
[12] Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the
thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
[13] The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every
province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready
against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
[14] So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being
hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan
the palace.
[15] And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal
apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment
of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was
glad.
[16] The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
[17] And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's
commandment and his decree came, the Jews had
joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land
became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
----------------------------
[1] And it came to pass
in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of Yehovah
came unto me, saying,
[2] Son of man,
speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude;
Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
[3] Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and
with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and
his top was among the thick boughs.
[4] The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her
rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all
the trees of the field.
[5] Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field,
and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the
multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
[6] All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under
his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under
his shadow dwelt all great nations.
[7] Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches:
for his root was by great waters.
[8] The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees
were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches;
nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
[9] I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all
the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
[10] Therefore thus saith the Lord Yehovah; Because thou hast lifted up
thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his
heart is lifted up in his height;
[11] I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of
the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his
wickedness.
[12] And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and
have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are
fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the
people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
[13] Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the
beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
[14] To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt
themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs,
neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they
are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of
the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
[15] Thus saith the Lord Yehovah; In the day when he
went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I
restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused
Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
[16] I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast
him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of
Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted
in the nether parts of the earth.
[17] They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with
the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst
of the heathen.
[18] To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the
trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the
trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst
of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword.
This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Yehovah.
