Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from
the 1500’s,
July 15, 2017 - in the 21 Century
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.
-----------------
We acknowledge God’s calendar
We are now in:
The 4th month of God which has no name, 20th day
Judaism calls the 4th month Tammuz
which is not in the Hebrew Bible nor is scriptural
Ezek.8 [ 14] Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Yehovah's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat
women weeping for Tammuz - ( pagan deity ) תַּמּוּז
Also a Sumerian
deity of food or vegetation, a Phoenician deity

Today’s topic:
What could happen in:
the wilderness,
the desert?
Being separate?
In TaNaKh the word “wilderness”
appears 269 times
In the
Gospels and Letters the word “wilderness”
appears 35 times
Seems
like many lessons can be learned here
Let’s review a few words:
Desert: A region so
arid because of little rainfall that it supports only sparse and widely spaced
vegetation or no vegetation at all: The Sahara is a vast sandy desert.
A desert is any area in which few forms of life can exist because of
lack of water, permanent frost, or absence of soil.
An area of
the ocean in which it is believed no marine life exists.
----------
Wilderness: A wild and
uncultivated region, as of forest or desert, uninhabited or inhabited only by
wild animals; a tract of wasteland.
-------------------
Watch out
for Complacency: a feeling of quiet pleasure or security, often while unaware of some potential danger, defect, or the like.
-------------------
Which voice are you listening too in
the wilderness?
מִדְבַּר
Wilderness
= midbar: uninhabited land, a mouth, (as organ of speech)
דְבַּר
daw-bar- A primitive
root; perhaps properly to arrange; but used figuratively (of words) to speak; rarely (in a destructive sense) to
subdue: - answer, appoint, bid, command, commune, declare, destroy, give, name, promise, pronounce, rehearse, say,
speak, be spokesman, subdue, talk, teach, tell,
think, use [entreaties], utter, well,
work.

A few verses in Torah
--------------------------------
Almost murder in the
wilderness
---------------------
God knows better than to let you
decide which way to go
Exod.13
[17] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let
the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the
Philistines, although that was near;
for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war,
and they return to Egypt:
[18] But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red
sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
---------------
Exod.19
[1] In
the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of
Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness
of Sinai.
[2] For they were departed from Rephidim, and were
come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the
wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
[3] And Moses went up unto God…
-----------------
Num.14
[1] And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and
the people wept that night.
[2] And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron:
and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
[3] And wherefore hath Yehovah brought us unto this
land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
[4] And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
[5] Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of
the congregation of the children of Israel.
[6] And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
[7] And they spake unto all the company of the
children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is
an exceeding good land.
[8] If Yehovah delight in us, then he will
bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth
with milk and honey.
[9] Only rebel not ye against Yehovah,
neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and Yehovah
is with us: fear them not.
[10] But all the congregation bade stone them with stones.
And the glory of Yehovah appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation
before all the children of Israel.
[11] And Yehovah said unto Moses, How long
will this people provoke me? and how long will it be
ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed
among them?
[12] I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and
will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
[13] And Moses
said unto Yehovah, Then the Egyptians shall hear it,
(for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from
among them;)
[14] And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they
have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face
to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and
that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar
of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
[15] Now if thou shalt kill all this people as
one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
[16] Because Yehovah was not able to bring
this people into the land which he sware unto them,
therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
[17] And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great,
according as thou hast spoken, saying,
[18] Yehovah is longsuffering, and of great
mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the
guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third
and fourth generation.
[19] Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto
the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt
even until now.
[20] And Yehovah said, I have pardoned
according to thy word:
[21] But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the
glory of Yehovah.
[22] Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles,
which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten
times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
[23] Surely they shall not see the land which I sware
unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
[24] But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and
hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto
he went; and his seed shall possess it.
[25] (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites
dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you
into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
[26] And Yehovah spake
unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[27] How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur
against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they
murmur against me.
[28] Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith Yehovah, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to
you:
[29] Your carcases shall fall in this
wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number,
from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,
[30] Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
[31] But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye
have despised.
[32] But as for you, your carcases, they shall
fall in this wilderness.
[33] And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and
bear your whoredoms, until your carcases
be wasted in the wilderness.
[34] After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even
forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty
years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
[35] I Yehovah have said, I will surely do it
unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered
together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they
shall die.
[36] And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and
made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon
the land,
[37] Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land,
died by the plague before Yehovah.
[38] But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
[39] And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and
the people mourned greatly.
[40] And they rose up early in the morning, and
gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go
up unto the place which Yehovah hath promised: for we
have sinned.
[41] And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye
transgress the commandment of Yehovah? but it shall not prosper.
[42] Go not up, for Yehovah
is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
[43] For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are
there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away
from Yehovah, therefore Yehovah
will not be with you.
[44] But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark
of the covenant of Yehovah, and Moses, departed not
out of the camp.
[45] Then the Amalekites came down, and the
Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even
unto Hormah.
-----------------------------
Deut.9 [7] Remember, and forget
not, how thou provokedst Yehovah
thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of
the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious
against Yehovah.
[8] Also in Horeb ye provoked Yehovah
to wrath, so that Yehovah was angry with you to have
destroyed you.
--------------------------
2 Psalms
Pss.78 [40] How
oft did they provoke Him in the wilderness,
and grieve Him in the desert!
[41] Yea, they turned back and tempted
God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
[42] They remembered not his hand, nor
the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
[43] How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field
of Zoan:
[44] And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they
could not drink.
[45] He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and
frogs, which destroyed them.
[46] He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller,
and their labour unto the locust.
[47] He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore
trees with frost.
[48] He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot
thunderbolts.
[49] He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation,
and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
[50] He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death,
but gave their life over to the pestilence;
[51] And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength
in the tabernacles of Ham:
[52] But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in
the wilderness like a flock.
[53] And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea
overwhelmed their enemies.
[54] And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this
mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
[55] He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an
inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
[56] Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his
testimonies:
[57] But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they
were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
[58] For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved
him to jealousy with their graven images.
[59] When God heard this, he was wroth, and
greatly abhorred Israel:
[60] So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he
placed among men;
[61] And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the
enemy's hand.
[62] He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his
inheritance.
[63] The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given
to marriage.
[64] Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no
lamentation.
[65] Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man
that shouteth by reason of wine.
[66] And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a
perpetual reproach.
[67] Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the
tribe of Ephraim:
[68] But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
[69] And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which
he hath established for ever.
[70] He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
[71] From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed
Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
[72] So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided
them by the skilfulness of his hands.
------------------
Pss.106 [1]
Praise ye Yehovah. O give
thanks unto Yehovah; for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever.
[2] Who can utter the mighty acts of Yehovah? who can shew forth all his praise?
[3] Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness
at all times.
[4] Remember me, Yehovah, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy
people: O visit me with thy salvation;
[5] That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the
gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine
inheritance.
[6] We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
[7] Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not
the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
[8] Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make
his mighty power to be known.
[9] He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them
through the depths, as through the wilderness.
[10] And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and
redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
[11] And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them
left.
[12] Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
[13] They soon forgat his
works; they waited not for his counsel:
[14] But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
[15]
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
[16] They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of Yehovah.
[17] The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
[18] And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the
wicked.
[19] They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped
the molten image.
[20] Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
[21] They forgat God their saviour,
which had done great things in Egypt;
[22] Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red
sea.
[23] Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his
chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should
destroy them.
[24] Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
[25] But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of Yehovah.
[26] Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in
the wilderness:
[27] To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them
in the lands.
[28] They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
[29] Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the
plague brake in upon them.
[30] Then stood up Phinehas, and executed
judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
[31] And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all
generations for evermore.
[32] They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill
with Moses for their sakes:
[33] Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake
unadvisedly with his lips.
[34] They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom Yehovah commanded them:
[35] But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
[36] And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
[37] Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
[38] And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their
daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was
polluted with blood.
[39] Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring
with their own inventions.
[40] Therefore was the wrath of Yehovah
kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
[41] And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated
them ruled over them.
[42] Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into
subjection under their hand.
[43] Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their
counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
[44] Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
[45] And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to
the multitude of his mercies.
[46] He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them
captives.
[47] Save us, Yehovah our God, and gather us
from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in
thy praise.
[48] Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting:
and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Yehovah.

No
matter where you are, good and evil are at WAR,
Even
in the "wilderness"
Matt. 3
[1] In those days came John the
Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
[2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[3] For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of
one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Yehovah, make His paths straight.
Luke 3
[1] Now
in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being
governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip
tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis,
and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
[2] Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests,
the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias
in the wilderness.
[3] And he came into all the country about Jordan,
preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
[4] As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias
the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths
straight.
[5] Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall
be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways
shall be made smooth;
[6] And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Matt. 4
[1] Then was Yeshua / Jesus led up of the Spirit
into the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil.
tempted - πειράζω - peirazō - pi-rad'-zo -From G3984; to test (objectively), that is, endeavor,
scrutinize, entice, discipline: - assay, examine, go about, prove, tempt (-er), try.
[2]
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
[3] And when the tempter came to
him, he said, If
thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
[4] But
he answered and said, It
is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Deut. 8 [3] And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed
thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did
thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread
only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of Yehovah doth man live.
back to Matt. 4
[5] Then the devil taketh him up
into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of
the temple,
[6] And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels
charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any
time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Pss.91
[10]
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any
plague come nigh thy dwelling. [11] For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. [12] They shall bear
thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
back to Matt. 4
[7] Yeshua
/ Jesus said unto him, It is written again,
Thou shalt not tempt the
Lord thy God.
[8] Again, the devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of
them;
[9] And saith unto Him, All these things will
I give thee, If thou wilt fall down
and worship me.
[10] Then saith Yeshua
/ Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Exod. 34 [14] For thou shalt worship no other god: for Yehovah,
whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Deut. 10 [20] Thou shalt
fear Yehovah thy God; him shalt
thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear
by his name.
back to Matt. 4
[11] Then the devil leaveth
Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
A
Victory over Satan
---------------------------------------
Many temptations
Num.
14 [22]
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in
Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now
these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;[23]
Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto
their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
Pss. 95
[1] O
come, let us sing unto Yehovah: let us make a joyful
noise to the rock of our salvation.
[2] Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful
noise unto him with psalms.
[3] For Yehovah is a
great God, and a great King above all gods.
[4] In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the
hills is his also.
[5] The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
[6] O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before Yehovah our maker.
[7] For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the
sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
[8] Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
[9] When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
[10] Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It
is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
[11] Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they
should not enter into my rest.
Heb. 3
[1]
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the
Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
[2] Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was
faithful in all his house.
[3] For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch
as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
[4] For every house is builded by some man;
but he that built all things is God.
[5] And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a
testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
[6] But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we
hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
[7] Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
[8] Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,
in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
[9] When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty
years.
[10] Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They
do alway err in their heart; and they have not known
my ways.
[11] So I sware in my wrath, They
shall not enter into my rest.)
[12] Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
[13] But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be
hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
[14] For
we are made partakers of Messiah /
Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast
unto the end;
[15] While it is said, To day if ye will hear
his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
[16] For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that
came out of Egypt by Moses.
[17] But with whom was he grieved forty years? was
it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
[18] And to whom sware he that they should not
enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
-------------------------
the wilderness can be a place of security
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.
[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 hath 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 deceiveth 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 Christ: for the
accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and
night.
[11] And they overcame him 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 inhabiters of the earth and of the
sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great
wrath, because he knoweth that he hath 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 Jesus Christ.
In the
desert or wilderness, it would seem to you that there were not too many things
to tempt them to sin, however,
Remember Satan is always there.
Be Watchful in your wilderness... your life span
Shabbat Shalom
-------------------------------------------------
Please find below the Sabbath explained.
How simple it is:
The
Sabbath is the 4th of the 10 Commandments of the covenant given to
us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd
month, Sivan
Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it
holy.

[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day
is the sabbath of Yehovah thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that is within
thy gates:
[11] For in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
--------
Isa. 58 [13] If thou turn away thy
foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Yehovah, honourable; and shalt honour him,
1 - not doing thine own ways,
2 - nor finding thine own pleasure,
3 - nor speaking thine own words:
[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause thee to
ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of
Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yehovah hath spoken
it.
------------
Lev. 23 [3] Six days shall work be
done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest,
an "holy
convocation";
ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in
all your dwellings.

Buying and selling is evil on the
Sabbath
Neh. 13 [16] There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner
of ware, and sold on the Sabbath unto the children of
Judah, and in Jerusalem.
[17] Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto
them, what
evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the Sabbath day?
------------------------------------------
The first day is
mentioned only 2 times when they met for certain events in Acts
and the letter to the Corinthians
It never says
the 1st day replaced the 7th day as Sabbath
It never says
the 1st day is a Commandment or a rest
Acts 20:7 And
upon the first day of the week, when the
disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to
depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon
the first day of the week let every
one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no
gatherings when I come.
Why doesn’t any pseudo
Christians ever mention the 60 times in the
Gospels and letters it uses the word
Sabbath!
