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

 

Today is January 5, 2013

January -- Janus's month

Middle English Januarie
Latin
Januarius "of Janus"
Latin
Janu(s) "Janus" + -arius "ary (pertaining to)"
Latin
Januarius mensis "month of Janus"

Janus is the Roman god of gates and doorways, depicted with two faces looking in opposite directions. His festival month is January.

Januarius had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.

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

Now, God’s truth

Yehovah has His own calendar

We are now in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, 22 day

Esth.2[16] So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth,  טֵבֵת  in the seventh year of his reign.

Today’s Topic

The end of the World??

 

Ever since the world began, there has always been the end of the world false predictions.

 

Yeshua said:

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

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

Prov.27 [1] Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

 

Jas.4 [13] Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

[14] Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.

For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

[15] For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
[16] But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

 

So live the life that God lent to you, do well and enjoy the blessing of God!

Ecc. [15] Then I commended mirth, because:

a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry:

 for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

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

Matt.13

[24] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
[25] But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
[26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
[27] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field?
from whence then hath it tares?
[28] He said unto them,
An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
[29] But he said,
Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
[30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the
tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.


[34] All these things spake Yeshua unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:


[35] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables;

I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

 

Pss.78

[1] Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
[2] I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

[3] Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
[4] We will not hide them from their children,
shewing to the generation to come the praises of Yehovah, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

 

Back to Matt.13


[36] Then Yeshua sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying,

Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.


[37] He answered and said unto them, He that
soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

 

[38] The field is the world;

 

the good seed are the children of the kingdom;

 

but the tares are the children of the wicked one;


[39] The enemy that
sowed them is the devil;

 

the harvest is the end of the world;

 

and the reapers are the angels


[40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.


[41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity
;
[42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him
hear.


[44] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he
hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.


[45] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls
:
[46] Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.


[47] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
[48] Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.


[49] So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just
,
[50] And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[51] Yeshua saith unto them,

Have ye understood all these things?

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

 

Matt.24

[1] And Yeshua went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

[2] And Yeshua said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

[3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying,

1 - Tell us, when shall these things be?

And

2 - what shall be the sign of thy coming,

3 - and of the end of the world?

[4] And Yeshua answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

[5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Messiah; and shall deceive many.

[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

[7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.

[9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

[10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.


[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

[13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

[14] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

[15] When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand :)

Dan.9 [27] And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Dan.11 [31] And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

Dan.12 [11] And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

1290

[12] Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

1335

45 day difference

2Thes.2

[1] Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, and by our gathering together unto him,
[2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Messiah is at hand.

Don’t be concerned until you see these things below:


[3] Let no man deceive you by any means:

for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first,

 and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

[4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

 

Again, major events have to happen:

The day of Messiah – end of this world

First - a falling away from the true Word and true Messiah, God of Israel

Complete apostasy

Second – when you see the abomination of desolation, man of sin revealed in the Temple, Temple has to be built

Soon after:

Three – at His Coming

 

[5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
[6] And now ye know what
withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now
letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
[8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

[9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
[11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie
:
[12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.


[13] But we are bound to give thanks
alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
[14] Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.


[15] Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. (
letter)

[16] Now our Lord Yeshua the Messiah himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,


[17] Comfort your hearts, and
stablish you in every good word and work.

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

Back to Matt.24

 

[16] Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
[17] Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take
any thing out of his house:
[18] Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
[19] And
woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
[20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the
sabbath day:
[21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.


[23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Messiah, or there; believe it not.
[24] For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

[25] Behold, I have told you before.
[26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

[27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


[28] For
wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

[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.

[32] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
[33] So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

[34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

(The generation that witnesses these things)


[35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

[36] But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.


[37] But as the days of
Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

[38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
[39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

[40] Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
[41] Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

[42] Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

[43] But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

[44] Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

[45] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
[46] Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
[47] Verily I say unto you,
That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

[48] But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
[49] And shall begin to smite his
fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
[50] The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he
looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
[51] And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

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

In conclusion:

Be aware of all the great production video of the end of the world and false people and their prophesies.

Matt.6 [34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow:

for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

 

Shabbat Shalom

 

Below, please find some miscellaneous information from the net

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

 

If you're reading this story, it means the world didn't end on Dec. 21, 2012.

Despite reports of an ancient Maya prophecy, a mysterious planet on a collision course with Earth, or a reverse in Earth's rotation, we're still here.

The Mayan connection was a misconception from the very beginning.
