Today we use the Gregorian calendar (From Pope Gregory, from the 1500's)

 

Today is March 15, 2025

March - Mars' month

Middle English March
Latin Martius "of Mars"
Latin Martius mensis "month of Mars"

Martius has always had 31 days.

March was the original beginning of the year,

and the time for the resumption of war.

Mars is the Roman god of warHe is identified with the Greek god Ares.

 

Yehovah has His own calendar: We are now in the 12th month, Adar, day 14

Adar = "glorious"

1) Twelfth month, corresponding to modern March or April

 

The second Temple

Ezra.6 [14] And the elders of the Jews builded and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo.

And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel,

and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

[15] And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

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…

Happy Purim 

Today’s Topic

Let’s explore a few terms

 

The day of Yehovah

The day of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah

Last days

Latter days

And others…

Some verses may be duplicated

Sometimes the day of Yehovah is not the end or the last days

 

Joel 2 and Acts 2 are basically the same: The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

The day of Yehovah is very dark

Joel 2

[1] Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Yehovah comes, for it is nigh at hand;
[2]
A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

[28] And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
[
29] And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

[30] And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

[31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of Yehovah come.

[32] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yehovah shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Yehovah hath said, and in the remnant whom Yehovah shall call.

Acts 2

[1] And when the day of Pentecost (feast of Weeks, harvest) was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
[
2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
[
3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
[
4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

[16] But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; above:

[17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
[
18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

[19] And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:

[20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

[21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

Amos 5 [18] Woe unto you that desire the day of Yehovah!

To what end is it for you?

The day of Yehovah is darkness, and not light.

[19] As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

[20] Shall not the day of Yehovah be darkness, and not light?, even very dark and no brightness in it?

Isa.13 [9] Behold, the day of Yehovah comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

Isa.26 [21] For, behold, Yehovah comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Isa.30 [27] Behold, the name of Yehovah comes from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire: [28] And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

Isa. 66 [15] For, behold, Yehovah will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
[16] For by fire and by his sword will Yehovah plead with all flesh: and the slain of Yehovah shall be many.

[17] They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, said Yehovah.
[18] For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that
I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

[19] And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
[20] And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto Yehovah out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, said Yehovah, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yehovah.

 

A few verses pertaining to the day of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, in the past and in the future

John the Baptist

Mal.4 [4] Remember you the law of Moses my servant (which God gave him), which I, God commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
[
5] Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Yehovah:
[
6] And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Luke 1 [13] … the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
[
14] And you shall have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
[
15] For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.

[16] And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

[17] And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, / Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for Yehovah.

Matt. 7 [10] And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias / Elijah must first come?
[11] And Yeshua answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
[
12] But I say unto you, That Elias / Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
[
13] Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

 

Acts.2 [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come

 

This below sounds like the end:

2 Pet.3 [10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
[11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

[12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

1 Cor. 5 [1] It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
[2] And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
[3] For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
[4] In the name of our Lord
Yeshua the Messiah, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,

[5] To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Yeshua.

 

This sounds like the end of days:

1 Thes. 5 [1] But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you.
[
2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
[3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
[4] But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
[
5] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

1 Cor.15 [22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
[23] But every man in his own order: Christ / Messiah the first fruits; afterward they that are Messiah's at his coming.[24] Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

1 Thes.2 [19] For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah at his coming?

1 John 2 [28] And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

1 Thes. 3 [12] And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

[13] To the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah with all his saints.

1Cor.4 [5] Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Jude 1 [14] And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints,

[15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Phil.1 [10] That you may approve things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ / Messiah;

Phil.2 [16] Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ / Messiah, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.

 

This sounds like the end:

2 Thes.2 [1] Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and by our gathering together unto him,
[2] That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ / Messiah is at hand.

[3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
[4] Who opposes and exaltes himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
[5] Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
[6] And now you know what with holds that he might be revealed in his time.
[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

[8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
[9] Even
him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

[11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
[12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

[13] But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
[14] Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
[15] Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
[16] Now our Lord Yeshua the Messiah himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
[17] Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work

Don’t say my lord delays his coming

Matt. 24[48] But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming;

[49] And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
[50] The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
[51] And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Luke.12 [45] But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; [46] The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers

 

Other verses to ponder:

Isa.51

[6] Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath:

for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke,

and the earth shall wax old like a garment,

and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner:

but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Isa.24

[19] The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

Isa.34

[4] And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll:

and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

Ezek.38

[16] And you shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days,

and I will bring you against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.

 

A gathering:

Joel 3

[2] I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Zech.14

[2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Rev. 16

[13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

[14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

 

Some verses pertaining to the term, the last days:

Sometimes the last days can mean the last days in someone’s life.

Gen.49 [1] And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.

 

Basically the same verse below:

Isa.2 [2] And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of Yehovah’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Mic.4 [1] But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of Yehovah shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

 

Acts.2 [17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Baptism of the Holy Spirit above

 

2 Tim.3 [1] This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

Jas.5 [3] Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

2Pet.3 [3] Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

 

Latter time

Sounds like the antiMessiah:

Dan.8 [23] And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

[24] And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

[25] And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

 

1Tim.4

[1] Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

[2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
[
3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth

Zech. 14

[1] Behold, the day of Yehovah comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
[2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
[3] Then shall Yehovah go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
[4] And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south

[5] And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, you shall flee, like as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and Yehovah my God shall come, and all the saints with you.

The Lord comes with his saints:

1 Thes. 3

[13]…at the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah with all his saints.

Jude 1

[14] And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints,

Zech. 14

5 … Yehovah my God shall come, and all the saints with you.

[1] And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:[2] And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
[3] And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

[4] And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

[5] And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
[6] And sware by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
[7] But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
