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

 

Today is August 26, 2023

 

August - Augustus Caesar's month

Latin Augustus "Augustus"
Latin Augustus mensis "month of Augustus"
Latin sextilis mensis "sixth month"

Sextilis had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.

Augustus Caesar clarified and completed the calendar reform of Julius Caesar. In the process, he also renamed this month after himself.

 

We are now in the 6th month of God called Elul אֱלוּל ,day 9

Neh.6 [15] So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days
Neh.7 [73] So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

Isa.14

[4] That you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How had the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
[5] Yehovah had broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
[6] He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hinders.
[7] The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
[8] Yea, the fir trees rejoice at you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you are laid down, no feller is come up against us.


[9] Hell from beneath is moved for you to meet you at your coming: it stirs up the dead for you, even all the chief ones of the earth; it had raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
[10] All they shall speak and say unto you, Art you also become weak as we? are you become like unto us?
[11] Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your viols: the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you.


[12] How are you fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!


[13] For you hast said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.


[15] Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
[16] They that see you shall narrowly look upon you, and consider you, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
[17] That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
[18] All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, everyone in his own house.
[19] But you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
[20] You shall not be joined with them in burial, because you hast destroyed your land, and slain your people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

 

 

Ezek.28

[1] The word of Yehovah came again unto me, saying,
[2] Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus said the Lord Yehovah; Because your heart is lifted up, and you hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet you are a man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God:
[3] Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from you:
[4] With your wisdom and with your understanding you hast gotten you riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into your treasures:
[5] By your great wisdom and by your traffick hast you increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches:
[6] Therefore thus said the Lord Yehovah; Because you hast set your heart as the heart of God;
[7] Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon you, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.


[8] They shall bring you down to the pit, and you shall die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
[9] Wilt you yet say before him that slayeth you, I am God? but you shall be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slays you.
[10] You shall die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, said the Lord Yehovah.


[11] Moreover the word of Yehovah came unto me, saying,
[12] Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus said the Lord GOD; You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.


[13] You hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of your tabrets and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you wast created.


[14] You are the anointed cherub that coveres;

 

 

H5526  coveres

שָׂכַךְ    סָכַךְ

sâkak    śâkak

 

A primitive root; a protector - properly to entwine as a screen; by implication to fence in, cover over, (figuratively) protect: - cover, defense, defend, hedge in, join together, set, shut up.

 

 

Back to Ezek.28

 

and I have set you so: you were upon the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
[15] You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in you.


[16] By the multitude of your merchandise they have filled the midst of you with violence, and you hast sinned: therefore I will cast you as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.


[17] Thine heart was lifted up because of your beauty you hast corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will cast you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you.
[18] You hast defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of you, it shall devour you, and I will bring you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold you.
[19] All they that know you among the people shall be astonished at you: you shall be a terror, and never shall you be any more.

 

 

1Chr.21 [1] And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

 

Luke 10 [18] And Yeshua the Word said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

 

Watch:

Eph.2 [2] Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Eph.6 [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

 

Rev.12

[1] And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
[2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.


[3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold
a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
[4] And
his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

 

Jude.1 [6] And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he had reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

 

[5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
[6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.


[7] And there was war in heaven:

 

Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.


[9] And
the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.


[10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Messiah:

 

for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.


[11] And they overcame
the devil by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.


[12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.

 

Woe to the inhibiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he had but a short time.


[13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
[14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
[15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
[16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.


[17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah.

 

 

1 Pet.5[8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour…

 

Eph.4[27] Neither give place to the devil.

 

Jas.4 [7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

 

Rev.20 [10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.

 

In closing for today, remember to watch for:

Temptations of the devil

Being possessed with a devil (s)

Seducing spirits

The spirits of devils

Doctrines of devils

Reproach and the snare of the devil

Don’t be lifted up with pride or you may fall into the condemnation of the devil

You should not   worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk…

 

We serve the almighty Holy God

Jude.1 [25] To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen

Yeshua said: Matt 4.  Get thee hence, Satan: for it is you shall worship Yehovah your God, and him only shall you serve.

May God Bless you all in everything you do.

Shabbat Shalom
