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

March 10, 2012

Sad to say… The name of March comes from ancient Rome, when March was the first month of the year and named Martius after Mars, the Roman god of war.

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

God has His own calendar

We are now in the 12^th month of God called Adar אדר, 16th day.

Esth. 3 [7] In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.

Before we start, first I will do a short review of the Spring Feasts and Holy Days again. It seems I can never review these days early enough for you, this is the 4th time. Here are some approximate 2012 dates for these holy days, this is the best can do at this time.

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

**Remember, all 2012 dates I give you start in the evening before

I will explain Adar again for you

אדר Adar - A primitive root; to expand, that is, be great or (figuratively) magnificent: - (become) glorious, honorable. (A mantle, cloak)

Adar אֲדָר

א - first letter in the Hebrew alphabet and is " hidden or silent "

דָר means to dwell, live

This leads me into our topic today:

---------

Today's Topic:

There is an afterlife

(I know I did not get all the verses I needed, but this will due)

---------

We just read the book of Esther and observed Purim

In Hebrew the word Esther means "star" but the root of the word Esther is satar and means "hidden".

---------

The words God, Lord are "hidden" in this book of Esther

Something or someone glorious is "hidden”

and

We believe it is Messiah and eternity

---------

You are being watched, by the invisible, the eternal God

Job.9 [11] Lo, he (God) goeth by me, and I see him not: he (God) passeth on also, but I perceive him (God) not.

Job.34 [21] For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

Prov.5 [21] For the ways of man are before the eyes of Yehovah, and he pondereth all his goings.

Job.28[24] For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

[25] To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
[26] When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
[27] Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
[28] And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of Yehovah, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

---------

The invisible God

John. 4 [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Rom. 1 [20] For the invisible things of him (Yeshua) from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Col. 1 [15] Yeshua - Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

1 Tim. 1 [17] Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Heb. 11 [27] By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

Heb.1 [2] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Heb.11 [3] Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of Yehovah, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

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

God made and formed “ALL THINGS”

Col.1 [16] For by him were all things created, that are in heaven (the universe), and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: [17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

John.1[3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

Prov.16 [4] Yehovah hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil

Prov.26 [10] The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

Isa.44 [24] Thus saith Yehovah, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am Yehovah that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

Jer.10[16] The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: Yehovah of hosts is his name.

Jer.51[19] The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: Yehovah of hosts is his name.

Isa.45 [5] I am Yehovah, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
[6] That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am Yehovah, and there is none else.
[7] I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I am Yehovah do all these things.

Dan.4 [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 doest thou?

"Our God of Israel is from everlasting"

Pss.41[13] Blessed be Yehovah God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

Pss.90[2] Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Pss.93[2] Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

Pss.103[17] But the mercy of Yehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

Pss.106[48] Blessed be Yehovah God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Yehovah.

Prov.8 [23] I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

Isa.63[16] Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Yehovah, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

Mic.5[2] But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Hab.1[12] Art thou not from everlasting, Yehovah my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. Yehovah, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

2Tim.1[9] Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Messiah Yeshua before the world began,

Tit.1[2] In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

John.17[5] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

1Cor.2[7] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

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

To whom then will ye liken God?

or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

Isa.40

[1] Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
[2] Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of Yehovah's hand double for all her sins.

John the Baptist

[3] The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Yehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
[4] Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
[5] And the glory of Yehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of Yehovah hath spoken it.

[6] The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
[7] The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of Yehovah bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
[8] The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

[9] O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

[10] Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
[11] He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

3 Questions

[12] Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

Answer - God

[13] Who hath directed the Spirit of Yehovah, or being his counseller hath taught him?

Answer - No one

[14] With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?

Answer - No one

[15] Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
[16] And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
[17] All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

[18] To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

[19] The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.

[20] He that is so impoverished (poor) that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

[21] Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

[22] It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
[23] That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

[24] Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

[25] To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

[26] Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who (G0d) hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

[27] Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from Yehovah, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

[28] Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, Yehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

[29] He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
[30] Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
[31] But they that wait upon Yehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

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

Another reminder of Eternal Life

Mark 10: [17] And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

[18] And Yeshua said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
[19] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
[20] And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
[21] Then Yeshua beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

[22] And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

[23] And Yeshua looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

[24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Yeshua answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

[25] It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

[26] And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

[27] And Yeshua looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

[28] Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

[29] And Yeshua answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

[30] But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

[31] But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

Matt. 25 [46] And these (unrighteous) shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Mark 3 [29] But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

John 3 [15] That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

John 4 [36] And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

John 5 [39] Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

John 6 [54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

[68] Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

John 10 [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

John 12 [25] He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

John 17 [2] As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

[3] And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Yeshua the Messiah, whom thou hast sent.

Acts 13 [48] And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

Rom. 2 [7] To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

Rom. 5 [21] That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Yeshua the Messiah our Lord.

Rom. 6 [23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Yeshua the Messiah our Lord.

2 Cor. 5 [1] For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

1 Tim. 6 [12] Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

[19] Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Tit. 1 [2] In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Tit. 3 [7] That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

1 John 2 [25] And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

1 John 3 [15] Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

1 John 5 [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

[13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

[20] And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Yeshua the Messiah. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Jude 1 [7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

[21] Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah unto eternal life.

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

Sad to say, Satan has blinded the minds of many people for centuries

2 Cor. 4 [4] In whom the God of this world (Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Messiah, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

----------

Here is a short list of the very important things of God that are hidden and replaced:

The afterlife

Hell

The lake of fire

Heaven

The God of Israel is hidden

God's true Messiah

The True, Right Word of God

Yeshua is hidden

God's ways are hidden

God's commandments, judgments and statutes are hidden

God's Torah / laws are hidden

God's feasts are hidden

God's Sabbath is hidden

God's food laws are hidden

God’s Calendar, New Year are hidden

Eternal Life somewhere

AND MUCH MORE

----------

As Moses, we need to endure, as seeing Him (God, Messiah) who is invisible, hidden!

Heb.11 [27] By faith he (Moses) forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing Him who is invisible.

----------

In conclusion, Yeshua said:

[5] I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. GOD!

[6] Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

[7] But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

[8] Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

[9] But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

[10] And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven

[15] Yeshua said: Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

[16] And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

[17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

[18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

[19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

[20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

[21] So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

2 Cor. 4 [17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

[18] While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Remember: Rom.14 [10] … we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Messiah

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever, amen!

Shabbat Shalom in Messiah
