Today we use the
Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.
Today is July 13, 2013
July -- Julius
Caesar's month
Middle English Julie
Latin Julius "Julius"
Latin Julius mensis "month of Julius"
Latin quintilis mensis "fifth
month"
Quintilis (and later Julius) has always had 31 days.
Julius Caesar reformed the
Roman calendar (hence the Julian calendar) in 46 BC. In the process, he renamed
this month after himself.
----------------------------------------------------
Yehovah has His own calendar
We are now in the 5th month, 4th day (this
month has no name)
Judaism calls the
5th month Av which is made up – adding to the Word
Judaism made up the name AV
(father?) and they say they have a civil year and religious year. They say AV
is the eleventh month of the civil year, and fifth month of the religious year. Wrong!
Yehovah only has "ONE CALENDAR".
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.

Today's Topic:
Two opinions - Yehovah or Satan
Two opinions?
Today, thousands of opinions, beware!
We are being
persuaded daily by two spiritual forces, Yehovah or Satan
Which one will
you choose?
Let
everyone be fully persuaded in their own mind.
-----------------------------------------------
1Kgs.18
[21] And Elijah אֵלִיָּהוּ came unto all the people, and said, How
long halt ye between two opinions?
if Yehovah be
God, follow him:
but if Baal, then
follow him.
And the people answered
him not a word.
[22] Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet
of Yehovah; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
[23]
Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for
themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
[24] And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of Yehovah:
And
the God that answereth by fire, let him be God.
And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
[25] And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock
for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of
your gods, but put no fire under.
[26] And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed
it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even
until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that
answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
[27] And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and
said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or
he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and
must be awaked.
[28] And they cried aloud, and cut themselves
after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon
them.
[29] And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied
until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither
voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
[30] And Elijah said unto all the people, Come
near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar
of Yehovah that was broken down.
[31] And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the
tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of Yehovah came, saying,
Israel shall be thy name:
[32] And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Yehovah:
and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of
seed.
[33] And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in
pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said (first time)
Fill four barrels with
water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
[34] And he said, Do it the second time. And they did
it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it
the third time.
[35] And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled
the trench also with water.
[36] And it came to pass at the time of the offering of
the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said:
YEHOVAH God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this
day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have
done all these things at thy word.
(I see a picture here of Messiah – the evening sacrifice,
Messiah. The third day Messiah rose.)
[37]
Hear me, YEHOVAH, hear me, that this people may know
that thou art Yehovah God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
[38] Then the fire of Yehovah fell, and consumed the
burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the
water that was in the trench.
[39] And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and
they said:
Yehovah, he
is the God; Yehovah, he is the God
[40]
And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal;
let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them
down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

Advertisers, commercials,
hidden persuaders
Be aware of the hidden subliminal messages that are being injected
into our minds constantly on a daily basis.
These magazines, websites, blogs, doctrines, biases, and the
suchlike:
Persuade us what is true and what is not true, who are the best, number
one, they say, what we should look like, what we should eat, how we should dress,
where we should go, who we should have as friends, what we should purchase,
from whom we should purchase, where we should live, what vehicle we should
drive, and many other things that you’re doing you think naturally that you
think are your own thoughts are actually the hidden subliminal messages that
you are persuaded by each day.
Many of these thoughts are not your own thoughts.
You should limit yourself on listening to advertisers, commercials,
negative news, false doctrines and many other hidden persuaders that transform
thoughts and moods.
On a spiritual level, Paul tells the Corinthians that evil can be
transformed into looking like good
2 Cor.11 [13] For such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into
the apostles of Messiah.
[14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel
of light.
[15] Therefore it is no great thing if Satan’s ministers also be
transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be
according to their works.
The prophet
Isaiah speaks of the same thing:
-----------------------
Beware of the hidden
persuaders
who will decide for you.
Don't be persuaded
by a person's position or level
of achievement in wrong things
or wrong decisions. Use discernment and understanding in all matters.
Understand who is speaking, what is being said, and if the speaker
is biased on the subject matter.

In the end of the sabbath,
as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
[2] And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of Yehovah
descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and
sat upon it.
[3] His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
[4] And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
[5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Yeshua, which was crucified.
[6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he
said. Come, see the place where Yehovah lay.
[7] And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen
from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into
Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
[8] And they departed quickly from the sepulchre
with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
[9] And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Yeshua met them,
saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
[10] Then said Yeshua unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that
they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
[11] Now when they were going, behold, some of
the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the
chief priests all the things that were done.
[12] And when they were assembled with the elders, and had
taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,[13]
Saying,
Say ye, His disciples came by night, and
stole him away while we slept.
[14] And if this come to the governor's
ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
[15] So they took the money, and did as they were taught:
and this saying
is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
--------------------------------
Be persuaded
in good things, Godly things.
Rom.8[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God, which is in Messiah Yeshua our Yehovah.
Gal.5 [7] Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should
not obey the truth?
[8] This persuasion cometh not of him
that calleth you.
[9] A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
--------------------------
Be certain
---------------------------------
Be persuaded in the God of Israel now; don’t wait until it’s too
late.
Luke.16
[19]
There was a certain rich man, which was
clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
[20]
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus,
which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
[21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich
man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
[22]
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into
Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
[23]
And in hell he lift
up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
[24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and
cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
[25]
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst
thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
[26]
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that
they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
[27]
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest
send him to my father's house:
[28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they
also come into this place of torment.
[29] Abraham saith unto him, They have
Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
[30]
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto
them from the dead, they will repent.
[31]
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the
prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though
one rose from the dead.

Choose you this day whom ye will serve
Josh.24
[14]
Now therefore fear Yehovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put
away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in
Egypt; and serve ye Yehovah.
[15]
And if it seem evil unto you to serve Yehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the
gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the
gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell:
but as for me and my house, we will serve Yehovah.
[16]
And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake Yehovah, to
serve other gods;
[17] For Yehovah our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers
out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great
signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among
all the people through whom we passed:
[18] And Yehovah drave out from before us all
the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also
serve Yehovah; for he is our God.
[19] And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve Yehovah: for he is an holy God; he is a
jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
[20] If ye forsake Yehovah, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do
you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
[21] And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but
we will serve Yehovah.
[22] And Joshua said unto the people, Ye
are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you Yehovah, to serve him.
And they said, We are witnesses.
[23] Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which
are among you, and incline your heart unto Yehovah God of Israel.
[24] And the people said unto Joshua, Yehovah our God will
we serve, and his voice will we obey.
[25]
So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and
an ordinance in Shechem.
[26] And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and
took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that
was by the sanctuary of Yehovah.
[27] And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a
witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of Yehovah which he spake unto
us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
[28]
So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.
[29] And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun,
the servant of Yehovah, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
[30]
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah,
which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.
[31] And Israel served Yehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the
days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which
had known all the works of Yehovah, that he had done for Israel.
-----------------------
In closing:
Be aware of the hidden subliminal messages that are being injected
into our minds constantly on a daily basis.
Be persuaded; choose the God of Israel and His Word made flesh, Yeshua
the Messiah.
Shabbat Shalom
Side note:
1Cor.14 [7] And even things without life
giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give
a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or
harped?
[8]
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall
prepare himself to the battle?
[9]
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how
shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak
into the air.
[10]
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is
without signification.
[11]
Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that
speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
[12] Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts,
seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
Shalom
