Today, we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the
1500’s,
Today is March 13th, 2021
March -- Mars' month
Middle English March(e)
Anglo-French March(e)
Old English Martius
Latin Martius "of
Mars"
Latin Marti(s) "Mars" + -us (adj. suffix)
Latin Martius mensis "month
of Mars"
Martius has always had 31 days.
March was the original
beginning of the year, and the time for the resumption of war.
Mars is the Roman god of
war. He is identified with the Greek god Ares.
The Gregorian calendar
When did January 1 become
the first day of the New Year?
March was the original beginning of the year in
some previous calendars.
January 1 had become the
first day of the New Year when Julius Caesar (100 B.C.E.-44 B.C.E.) reorganized
the Roman calendar and made it solar rather than lunar in the year 45 B.C.E. and
moved the beginning of the year to January 1.
When the Gregorian calendar
was introduced in 1582, January 1 continued to be recognized as the first day
of the year in most places.
However, in England and the
American colonies, March 25, intended to represent the spring equinox, was the
beginning of their year. Under this system, March 24, 1700, was followed by
March 25, 1701.
In 1752, the British
government changed the beginning date of the year to January 1.
Then we have Judaism’s made up New Year’s Babylonian month … Tishri (in the Judaism calendar) the first month of the civil year and seventh of the
religious year, usually coinciding with parts of September and October of the Gregorian calendar.
Yehovah God has His own calendar, which is deleted from the world
We are now in the 12th month in the scriptures called Adar, day 28
Esth.3 [7] ….the
twelfth month, that is, the month Adar = “glorious” אֲדָר
דָר means to dwell, live
I see by this word Adar, when broken down, can convey a message
that the "invisible, glorious God"
wants to dwell among us and in us.
In the Book of
Esther, the Hebrew the
word "Esther" means "star" but the
root of the word "Esther" is "satar" and means "hidden".
The words, God and Lord do not appear in the book of
Esther, they are "hidden
or silent".

God’s lights
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.
God has only one calendar - One
New Year
Deut.11 [12] A land which Yehovah your God cares for: the eyes of Yehovah your God are always upon it, from the “beginning of the year” even unto the “end
of the year”.
The beginning of barley
harvest
Ruth 1 [22] So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her
daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they
came to Bethlehem in the
beginning of barley harvest.
2 Sam. 21 [9]… he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and
they hanged them in the hill before Yehovah: and they fell all seven together, and were put
to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest
Spring feasts of Yehovah
Lev.23
[1] … Yehovah spoke unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, Concerning
the feasts of 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, a holy convocation; you 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 you shall proclaim in
their seasons.
[5] In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Yehovah 's Passover.
[6] And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread
unto Yehovah:
seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
[7] In the first day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no
servile work therein.
[8] But you shall offer an
offering made by fire unto Yehovah seven days:
in the seventh day is a holy
convocation: you shall do no servile work therein.
Let’s review some interesting events that happened on the first
day, first month:
Gen.8
[13] And it came to pass
in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth:
and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of
the ground was dry.
Exod.40
[2] On the first day of the first month shall you set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
[17] And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day
of the month the tabernacle was reared
up.
[33] And he reared up the
court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the
court gate. So Moses finished the work.
Num.9
[1] And Yehovah spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt,
saying,
[2] Let the children of Israel also keep the Passover at his appointed season.
[3] In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, you shall keep it in his
appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the
ceremonies thereof, shall you keep it.
[4] And Moses spoke unto the children of
Israel, that they should keep the Passover.
[5] And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the
wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Yehovah commanded Moses, so did the children of
Israel.
Num.20
[1] Then came the children
of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
2 Chr. 29
[1] Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old,
and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name
was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
[2] And he did that which was right in the sight of Yehovah, according to all that David his father had done.
[3] He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened
the doors of the house of Yehovah, and repaired them.
[4] And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered
them together into the east street,
[5] And said unto them, Hear me, you Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and
sanctify the house of Yehovah God of your fathers, and carry forth the
filthiness out of the holy place.
[6] For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil
in the eyes of Yehovah our God, and have forsaken him, and have
turned away their faces from the habitation of Yehovah, and turned their backs.
[7] Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and
have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the
God of Israel.
[8] Wherefore the wrath of Yehovah was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath
delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as you see with
your eyes.
[9] For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons
and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
[10] Now it is in mine heart to
make a covenant with Yehovah God of Israel that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
[11] My sons be not now negligent: for Yehovah hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that you
should minister unto him, and burn incense.
[12] Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi,
and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
[13] And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
[14] And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
[15] And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came,
according to the commandment of the king, by the words of Yehovah, to cleanse the house of Yehovah.
[16] And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Yehovah, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they
found in the temple of Yehovah into the court of the house of Yehovah. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the
brook Kidron.
[17] Now they began on the first
day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch
of Yehovah: so they sanctified the house of Yehovah in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month
they made an end.
[18] Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, we have cleansed all the house of Yehovah, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof,
and the showbread table,
with all the vessels thereof.
[19] Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his
transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before
the altar of Yehovah.
[20] Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of
the city, and went up to the house of Yehovah.
[21] And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven
lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the
sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to
offer them on the altar of Yehovah.
[22] So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the
blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams,
they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they
sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
[23] And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering
before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
[24] And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood
upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded
that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
[25] And he set the Levites in the house of Yehovah with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to
the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet:
for so was the commandment of Yehovah by his prophets.
[26] And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the
priests with the trumpets.
[27] And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the
altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of Yehovah began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments
ordained by David king of Israel.
[28] And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers
sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt
offering was finished.
[29] And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all
that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
[30] Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the
Levites to sing praise unto Yehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they
bowed their heads and worshipped.
[31] Then Hezekiah answered and said, now you have consecrated yourselves unto Yehovah, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the
house of Yehovah. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and
thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
[32] And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation
brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred
lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Yehovah.
[33] And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
[34] But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all
the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till
the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for
the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
[35] And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the
drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of Yehovah was set in order.
[36] And Hezekiah rejoiced, and
all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done
suddenly.
Ezra.7
[6] This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe
in the law of Moses, which the Lord Yehovah of Israel had given: and the king granted
him all his request, according to the hand of Yehovah his God upon him.
[9] For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem,
according to the good hand of his God upon him.
[10] For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of Yehovah, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
One calendar, no fiscal calendar in scripture
Fiscal: of
or pertaining to the public treasury or revenues: example - fiscal policies that may change. Also, of or
pertaining to financial matters in general.
God laws (policies) are the same all year round, they don’t change J
A few more scriptures:
Ezek.30
[20] And it came to pass in
the eleventh year, in the
first month, in the seventh day of the month that the word of Yehovah came unto me, saying:
[18] Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a
great service against Tyrus: every head was made
bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no
wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that
he had served against it:
[19] Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah; Behold, I
will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her
prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
[20] I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor wherewith he
served against it, because they wrought for me, says the Lord Yehovah.
[21] In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud
forth, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and
they shall know that I am the Yehovah.
Ezek.45
[18] Thus says the Lord Yehovah: In the first month, in the first day of the month,
you shall take a young bullock
without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary.
[19] And the priest shall
take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house,
and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the
gate of the inner court.
[20] And so you shall do the seventh day of the month for every one that
erred, and for him that is simple: so shall you reconcile the house.
[21] In the first month, in the
fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall
be eaten.
Dan.10
[4] And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which
is Hiddekel…
Joel.2
[23] Be glad then, you
children of Zion, and rejoice in Yehovah your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately,
and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first
month.
Saul tells the
Corinthians: Keep it simple!
2 Cor. 11[3] … I fear, lest by any means, as the
serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.
3 feast not seven feasts -
simple
Exod.23 [14] Three times you shall keep a feast unto me in the year.
[15] You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I
commanded you, in the time appointed of the month abib (ha aviv); for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall
appear before me empty: (offering time)
[16] And the feast of harvest, the first
fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field:
and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out
of the field.
[17] Three times in the year all your males
shall appear before the Lord Yehovah. (Offering time)
Deut.16
[16] Three times in a year shall all your males appear before Yehovah your 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 your God which he hath given you.
A good time to "come out and be separate"
By strength of hand Yehovah brought us out from Egypt,
From the house of bondage (sin)
Tell your children all about this!
Exod. 13
[3] And Moses said unto the
people, Remember this day, in which you came out from
Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yehovah brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened
bread be eaten.
[4] This day came you out in the month Abib.
[5] And it shall be when Yehovah shall bring
you into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and
the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
which he swore unto thy fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and
honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
[6] Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and
in the seventh day shall be a feast to Yehovah.
[7] Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and
there shall no leavened bread be seen with you, neither shall there be leaven
seen with you in all thy quarters.
[8] And you shall show your son in that day, saying, this is done because of that which Yehovah did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
[9] And it shall be for a
sign unto you upon your hand, and for a
memorial between your eyes, that Yehovah's law may be in your mouth: for with a strong hand hath Yehovah brought you out of Egypt.
[14] And it shall be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this?
that you shall say unto him, By strength of hand Yehovah brought us out from Egypt, from the house
of bondage:
[15] And it came to pass,
when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Yehovah slew all the firstborn in the land of
Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I
sacrifice to Yehovah all that opens the matrix, being males; but all the
firstborn of my children I redeem.
Deut. 6
[20] … when your son asks you in time to come, saying, what mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments,
which Yehovah our God hath commanded you?
[21] Then you shall say unto your son, we were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and Yehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
[22] And Yehovah showed signs
and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
[23] And he brought us out
from here, that he might bring us in, to give us the
land which he swore unto our fathers.
[24] And Yehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is
at this day.
[25] And it shall be our
righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.
Always watch out for the mixed multitude that is among you
Exod. 12
[38] And a mixed multitude went up
also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
Num. 11
[4] And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again,
and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Neh. 13
[3] Now it came to
pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from
Israel all the mixed multitude.
"Come out and be separate"
Being separate from sinners
and their deeds is very important
Exod. 33
[16] For wherein shall it be known here that I and your
people have found grace in your sight? is it not in that you goest with us? So shall we be separated, I and your people,
from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
Lev. 20
[24] But I have said
unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to
possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey: I am Yehovah your God, which
have separated you from other
people.
Deut. 32
[8] When the most
High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of
Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the
children of Israel
1 Kgs.8
[51] For they be your
people, and your inheritance, which you brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the
furnace of iron:
[52] That your eyes may be open unto the supplication of your
servant, and unto the supplication of your people Israel, to hearken unto them
in all that they call for unto you.[53]
For you didst separate them from among all the people of the earth,
to be your inheritance, as You spoke by the hand of Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Yehovah.
Ezra 6
[19]… the children of the captivity kept
the Passover upon
the fourteenth day of the first month.
[20] For the priests
and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed
the Passover for all the children
of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
[21] And the
children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all
such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen
of the land, to seek the Lord Yehovah of
Israel, did eat,
[22] And kept the
feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Yehovah had
made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to
strengthen their hands in the work of the house of Yehovah God of Israel.
Ezra 10
[8] … whosoever
would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and
the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated
from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
[9] Then all the men
of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three
days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the
people sat in the street of the house of Yehovah, trembling because of this matter, and for the
great rain.
[10] And Ezra the
priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange
wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
[11] Now therefore
make confession unto the Lord Yehovah of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate
yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
[12] Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud
voice, As you have said, so must we do.
[13] But the people
are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we
are many that have transgressed in this thing.
[14] Let now our
rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange
wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every
city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our Yehovah for
this matter be turned from us.
Neh. 9
[2] And the seed of Israel separated themselves
from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of
their fathers.
[3] And they stood
up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Yehovah their God one fourth part of the day; and another
fourth part they confessed, and worshipped Yehovah their God.
Neh. 10
[28] And the rest of
the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and
all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of Yehovah, their
wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having
understanding;
[29] They clave to
their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to
walk in Yehovah's law, which was given by Moses the servant of Yehovah, and to
observe and do all the commandments of Yehovah our Lord, and his judgments and his
statutes;
[30] And that we
would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their
daughters for our sons:
Neh. 1
[1] On that day they
read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found
written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the
congregation of Yehovah for ever;
[2] Because they met
not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against
them, that he should curse them: howbeit our Yehovah turned the curse into a blessing.
[3] Now it came to
pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
Rom. 1
[1] Paul, a servant
of Yeshua the
Messiah, called to be an apostle, separated
unto the gospel of Yehovah…
In the end, Messiah
will separate all
Matt. 25
[31] When the Son of
man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he
sit upon the throne of His glory:
[32] And before him
shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:
[33] And he shall set the
sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
[34] Then shall the King
say unto them on his
right hand, Come, you blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
[35] For I was hungry, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you
gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:
[36] Naked, and you clothed
me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came unto me.
[37] Then shall the
righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you hungry, and fed you? Or thirsty, and gave you drink?
[38] When saw we you a
stranger, and took you in? Or naked, and clothed you?
[39] Or when saw we you
sick, or in prison, and came unto you?
[40] And the King shall
answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.
[41] Then shall he say also
unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting
fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
[42] For I was hungry, and you gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and you
gave me no drink:
[43] I was a stranger, and you
took me not in: naked, and you clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and you
visited me not.
[44] Then shall they also
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you hungry or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick,
or in prison, and did not minister unto you?
[45] Then shall he answer them,
saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did it not to one of the least
of these, you did it not to me.
[46] And these shall go away into everlasting
punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Rev. 18
[4] And I heard another
voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers
of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
Separate yourselves from this world, be "born from above, born of
the water and of the spirit", born again.
John 3
[3] Yeshua ... said ... Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Yehovah.
[5] Yeshua answered, verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Yehovah.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
[7] Marvel not that I said unto you,
Ye must be born again!
"A new heart and a new spirit"
Ezek. 18
[31] Cast away from
you all your transgressions, whereby you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die,
O house of Israel?
Ezek. 36
[26] A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the
stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an
heart of flesh.
"A new creature, a new man"
Eph. 4
[22] That you put off concerning the former
conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful
lusts;[23] And be renewed
in the spirit of your mind;[24]
And that you put on the new man, which after Yehovah is created in righteousness and true
holiness.
Col. 3
[9] Lie not one to
another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds; [10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him
that created him:
2 Cor. 5
[17] Therefore if any man be in Messiah, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.
1 Pet. 1
[22] Seeing you have
purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love
of the brethren, see that you love one another with a pure heart fervently:
[23] Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of Yehovah, which lives and abides forever.
[24] For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower
of grass. The grass withers, and the flower
thereof falls away:
[25] But the word of the Lord endures forever.
And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Rev. 21
[5] And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these
words are true and faithful.
**Please: Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house
of bondage; for by strength of hand Yehovah brought you out from this place. – (our
last lives of sin)
In closing: Happy New Year soon!
All of you that have joined
the God of Israel prepare for the Spring Feasts and Holy days that are soon to
come.
Happy New Year, Happy new beginnings!
Shabbat Shalom
