Today is May 23, 2020 – in the 21 century
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

We acknowledge Yehovah’s calendar:
We are now in the 2nd month called Ziv –
day 29
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.
The 2nd month is not Iyyar (made
– up, a lie) as Judaism states; it is Ziv as
scriptures states.
It is now the 6th Sabbath of
the 7 Sabbaths we were told to count.
We are on our way to the Feast of Weeks. How are
you doing?

2 Chr. 15
[1] And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
[2] And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto
him, Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin;
Yehovah is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will
be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
[3] Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and
without a teaching priest, and without law.
[4] But when they
in their trouble did turn unto Yehovah God of Israel,
and sought him, he was found of them.
[5] And in those
times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but
great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.
[6] And nation was destroyed of
nation, and city of city:
for God did vex them with
all adversity.
[7] Be strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for
your work shall be rewarded.
[8] And
when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the
abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the
cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of Yehovah, that was before the porch of Yehovah.
[9] And he gathered
all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and
Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance,
when they saw that Yehovah his God was with him.
***[10] So they gathered themselves
together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of
Asa.
[11] And they
offered unto Yehovah the same time, of the spoil
which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
[12] And they
entered into a covenant to seek Yehovah God of their
fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
[13] That
whosoever would not seek Yehovah God of Israel should
be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
[14] And they swear
unto Yehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting,
and with trumpets, and with cornets.
[15] And all Judah rejoiced at the
oath: for
they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire;
and he was found of them: and Yehovah gave them rest
round about.
[16] And also
concerning Maachah the mother of Asa
the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a
grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and
burnt it at the brook Kidron.
[17] But the high
places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
[18] And he brought
into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated and that he
himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
[19] And there was no more war
unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
A litter more about Asa and his - pride
2 Chr. 16
[1]
In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built
Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
[2]
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house
of Yehovah and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, [3] There is a league between me and you, as there was between my
father and your father: behold, I have sent you silver and gold; go, break your
league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart
from me.
[4]
And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa,
and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they
smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store
cities of Naphtali.
[5] And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and
let his work cease.
[6]
Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried
away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha
was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
[7] And at that
time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto
him, Because
you have relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on Yehovah
your God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of your hand.
[8] Were not the
Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many
chariots and horsemen?
Yet, because you didst rely on Yehovah, he delivered them
into your hand.
[9] For the eyes of Yehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect
toward him.
Herein you have done foolishly: therefore from henceforth you shall
have wars.
[10] Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison
house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing.
And Asa oppressed some of the people
the same time.
[11] And, behold,
the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written
in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
[12] And Asa
in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his
disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to Yehovah,
but to the physicians.
[13] And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and
fortieth year of his reign.
[14] And they
buried him in his own sepulchers, which he had made for himself in the city of
David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and divers
kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' are: and they made a very great
burning for him.

More on the third month:
Ezek.31 - Pride
**** [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;
Pharaoh King of Egypt?
Pharaohs
were in Exodus, Ezekiel was in the captivity.
Let’s read on:
Who are you like in your greatness?
[3] Behold, the
Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing
shroud, and of a 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
says the Lord Yehovah; because you have 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 says 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 are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the
trees of Eden?
yet shall you be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the
nether parts of the earth:
you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be
slain by the sword.
This
is Pharaoh and “all his
multitude”, says the Lord Yehovah.
Satan
in the midst - More Pride
Ezek.28
[1] The word
of Yehovah came again unto me, saying,
[2] Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus says the Lord Yehovah;
Because
your heart is lifted up, and you have 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, 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 have gotten you riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your
treasures:
[5] By your great wisdom and by your traffic
have you increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your
riches:
[6] Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah; because you have 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
slays 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, says 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 says the Lord Yehovah; You seal up the
sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
[13] You have 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 were created.
[14] You are the anointed cherub that covers;
and I have set you so: you were upon the holy mountain of God; you 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 have 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] Your heart was lifted up because
of your beauty, you have 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 have defiled your sanctuaries
by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your traffic; 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.
The king
of Babylon
A word from Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon again
Dan.4
[24] This is the
interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of
the most High, which is come upon my lord the
king:
[25] That they shall drive you
from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they
shall make you to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet you with the dew of
heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till
you know that the most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to
whomsoever he will.
[26] And whereas they
commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots;
your kingdom
shall be sure unto you, after that you
shall have known that the heavens do rule.
[27] Wherefore, O king, let my counsel
be acceptable unto you, and break off
your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor;
if it may be a lengthening of your tranquility.
[28] All this came upon the king
Nebuchadnezzar.
[29] At the end of twelve months he
walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
[30] The king spoke, and said,
is not this great
Babylon, that I have
built for the house of the kingdom by the
might of my power, and for the honor of my
majesty?
[31] While the word was in the king's
mouth, there fell a voice from
heaven, saying, O
king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken;
The
kingdom is departed from you.
[32] And they shall drive you from men,
and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make you to
eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the
most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will.
[33] The same hour was the thing
fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as
oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown
like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
[34] And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up
mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the
most High, and I praised and honored him that lives forever, whose dominion is
an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
[35] And all the inhabitants of the
earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of
heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or
say unto him, What do you?
[36] At the same time my reason
returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honor and brightness
returned unto me; and my counselors and my lords sought unto me; and I was
established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
[37] Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and
extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways
judgment:
and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
