Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.
Today is April 1, 2017 – in the 21 Century
Beware April fools tricks…
April -- Aphrodite's month
Old English April(is)
Latin Aprilis
Etruscan Apru
Greek Aphro, short for Aphrodite.
Aprilis had 30 days, until
Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became
30 days long.
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love
and beauty. She is identified
with the Roman goddess Venus.
------------------
Yehovah God has His own calendar, which is deleted from the world
We are now in the 1st month of the God
of Israel called Nisan, נִיסָן and ha aviv הָאָבִיב – 3rd
day
Esth.3 [7] In the first month, that is,
the month Nisan
Exod.13 [4] This day came ye out in the month ha Abib. הָאָבִיב
A part of April / May 2017

We read from the 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), as Yeshua put it.
Ta Na Kk is an acronym for:
T = Torah (law, teachings) - first 5 books God gave to 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
written.

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.
We use the Gregorian calendar
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.
-------------------------------
Let’s Start
Many interesting events happened on the
first day, first month, here are a few:
The 1st month of the God of Israel
called Nisan, נִיסָן and ha aviv הָאָבִיב
Here are some "new beginnings"
[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.
[34] Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the
glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.
[35] And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the
congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.
[36] And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the
children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
[37] But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not
till the day that it was taken up.
[38] For the cloud of Yehovah was upon the tabernacle by
day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel,
throughout all their journeys.
[6]
And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that
they could not keep the passover on that day: and
they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
[7] And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man:
wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of Yehovah in his appointed season among the children of
Israel?
[8] And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will
hear what Yehovah will command concerning you.
[9] And Yehovah spake unto
Moses, saying,
[10] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your
posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar
off, yet he shall keep the passover unto Yehovah.
[11] The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat
it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
[12] They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it:
according to all the ordinances of the passover
they shall keep it.
[13] But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover,
even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought
not the offering of Yehovah in his appointed season,
that man shall bear his sin.
[14] And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto Yehovah; according
to the ordinance of the passover, and according to
the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the
stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
[15] And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the
tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the
tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
[16] So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day,
and the appearance of fire by night.
[17] And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the
children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the
children of Israel pitched their tents.
[18] At the commandment of Yehovah the children of
Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Yehovah
they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in
their tents.
[19] And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Israel kept the charge of Yehovah, and
journeyed not.
[20] And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle;
according to the commandment of Yehovah they abode in
their tents, and according to the commandment of Yehovah
they journeyed.
[21] And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that
the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by
day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
[22] Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried
upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their
tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
[23] At the commandment of Yehovah they rested in the
tents, and at the commandment of Yehovah they
journeyed: they kept the charge of Yehovah, at the
commandment of Yehovah by the hand of Moses.
----------------
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.
Ezra.7
[1] Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra
the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
[2] The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
[3] The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
[4] The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
[5] The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron
the chief priest:
[6] This Ezra went
up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Yehovah Yehovah of Israel had given: and the
king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Yehovah his Yehovah 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
-------------
This is how we recognize when the year starts
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

One New Year
Deut.11 [12]
A land which Yehovah thy
God careth for: the eyes of Yehovah thy God are always upon it,
from the
“beginning of the year” even unto the “end of the year”.

Saul tells the Corinthians: Keep it simple!
2 Cor. 11[3] But 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.
Exod.23 [14] Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
שָׁלֹשׁ
רְגָלִים,
תָּחֹג לִי בַּשָּׁנָה
[15]
Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in
the time appointed of the month abib (ha aviv); for in it thou came out from Egypt:
and none shall appear before me empty: (offering time)
[16]
And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of
thy labors, which thou hast sown in the field:
and the
feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, בְּצֵאת
הַשָּׁנָה when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field.
[17]
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord Yehovah. (Offering time)
Deut.16 [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.
----------------
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)
------------------------
Exod. 13
[3] And Moses said unto the
people, Remember this day, in which ye 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.
[8] And thou shalt shew thy 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 thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial
between thine eyes, that Yehovah's law may be in thy mouth: for
with a strong hand hath Yehovah brought thee out of Egypt.
[14] And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying,
What is this?
that thou shalt 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 openeth the matrix, being males; but
all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
Deut. 6
[20] And when
thy son asketh thee in time to come,
saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the
judgments, which Yehovah our Yehovah hath commanded you?
[21] Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in
Egypt; and Yehovah brought us out of Egypt with a
mighty hand:
[22] And Yehovah shewed 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 thence, that he
might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
[24] And Yehovah commanded us to do all these
statutes, to fear Yehovah our Yehovah, 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 Yehovah, as he hath commanded us.
------------------------
Watch out for the mixed multitude
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"
Exod. 33[16] For
wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy
sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy 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 floweth with milk and honey: I am Yehovah your Yehovah, 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 thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the
furnace of iron:
[52] That thine eyes may be open unto the
supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to
hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
[53] For thou didst separate them from
among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Yehovah.
----------------
Ezra 6 [19] And 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 Yehovah 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, the Yehovah of Israel.
--------------
Ezra 10 [8] And that 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 Yehovah 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 thou hast 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 Yehovah one fourth part of the day; and another fourth
part they confessed, and worshipped Yehovah their Yehovah.
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. 13 [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 divideth 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, ye blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
[35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
[36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye
visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
[37] Then shall the righteous
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
[38] When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
[39] Or when saw we thee sick,
or in prison, and came unto thee?
[40] And the King shall answer
and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one
of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
----
[41] Then shall he say also
unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
[42] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
[43] I was a stranger, and ye
took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye
visited me not.
[44] Then shall they also
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or
naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
[45] Then shall he answer them,
saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of
these, ye 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 ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
receive not of her plagues.
------------------------
Separate yourselves from this world, be "born from above, born of the
water and spirit", born again.
John 3 [3] Yeshua ... said ... Verily, verily, I
say unto thee,
Except a man be
born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Yehovah.
------------------------
[5] Yeshua answered, verily, verily, I
say unto thee,
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
thee,
Ye must be born
again!
------------------------
"A new heart
and a new spirit"
Ezek. 18 [31] Cast away from you
all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye
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 ye 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 ye 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 ye 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 ye have
purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love
of the brethren, see that ye 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 liveth and abideth for ever.
[24] For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower
of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
[25] But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.
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 ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by
strength of hand Yehovah brought you out from this
place.
------------------------
Judaism
has four, five or six new years, which is not scriptural.
What more can I say,
In closing: All that joined themselves to the
God of Israel prepare for the Spring Feasts and Holy days.
Happy New
Year, Happy new beginnings!
Shabbat
Shalom

Sabbath info
if needed to be reviewed
Question: So why are we here today?
Answer: We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.
Sabbath is the “4th Commandment” 0f the 10 Commandments
Today is the rest of the holy Sabbath unto Yehovah
I will explain the Sabbath day from Scripture, the 7th day.
The Sabbath is not a service for an hour and a half, but a 24 hour period, the seventh day.
Not any day you pick.
This is how simple Sabbath is:
Gen.2 [1] Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
[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.

Lev. 23 [32] … from even (sunset) unto even (sunset), shall ye celebrate your Sabbath.
The Sabbath is the 4th Commandment of the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan
The 10 commandments are in Exod. 20 and Deut. 5 - if you just know this, you will know more than most ministers.
