Shabbat Shalom
-------------------
All Welcome
-------------------------------
Let’s pray
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, sins, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever.
Amen

Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory, from the 1500’s
Today is April 17th, 2010
----
God has His own calendar
We are now in the 2nd month of God, Ziv / Zif – 2nd day
1 Kgs. 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.
æÄå - ziv - brightness, (figuratively)
the month of flowers
***Make sure you change your Judaism calendars – The 2nd month
is not Iyyar as
Judaism states, it is Ziv.
--------------------
God's Spring Calendar for 2010, these are the days left
Remember: There is one extra Sabbath
left, besides the 7th day Sabbath each week
------------
This is the second Sabbath of the
seven Sabbaths we were told to count.
We are counting the "Sabbaths"
not omers
An "omer" is a "sheaf" of barley -òîø omer - A dry
measure of 1/10 ephah (about 2 liters)
-------------
Lev.23 [15] And ye shall count
unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf
of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be
complete:
[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye
number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto Yehovah.
------------
2nd month of God, Ziv
/ Zif, April 16th
(starts sunset April 15th)
------------
3rd month of God, Sivan, and May 16th (starts sunset of May 15th)
------------
Feast of Weeks / Pentecost is coming
Feast of Weeks, 50 - Pentecost - May 23th, 1st day of the week (Sunday), (starts
sunset May 22th) 8th of Sivan, 50 days from First Fruits - a Sabbath - ***This would make it 2 Sabbaths in a row
------------
Paul doing Pentecost / Feast of Weeks
Acts 2 [1] And when the day of Pentecost / Feast
of Weeks was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Acts
20 [16] For Paul had determined to sail by
Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he
hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost
/ Feast of Weeks.
1 Cor. 16 [8] But I
will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost / Feast of
Weeks.

Some News:
Yom HaZikaron äæëøåï éåí
Israel Memorial Day
Yom
Hazikron is the day on which Israel honors its war
veterans and others who died in World war two and Victims of Terrorism.
Although Yom Hazikaron
is normally observed on the 4th of Iyyar, / Ziv, it may be moved earlier or postponed if observance of
the holiday (or Yom HaAtzma'ut, which always follows
it) would conflict with Shabbat.
Yom HaAtzma'ut éåí äòöîàåúý
- May 14, 1948 - Yom HaAtzma'ut is the national independence day
of Israel,
commemorating its declaration of independence in 1948
----------------
I explain the Sabbath each week
This is how simple it is:
Exod. 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.
------------
Deut. 5
[12] Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as Yehovah
thy God hath commanded thee.
[13] Six days thou shalt labour,
and do all thy work:
[14] 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, nor thy manservant, nor
thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy
maidservant may rest as well as thou.
[15] And remember that thou wast
a servant in the land of Egypt, and that Yehovah thy
God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore Yehovah thy God
commanded thee to keep the sabbath
day.
------------
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.
--------
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.
------------------------
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?
------------------------
We read from law and the prophets every Sabbath
like they did in the Book of Acts
60 times in the Gospels
and letters it uses the word Sabbath!
--------------------
Let's see what Yeshua, Paul and
the Apostles did:
Acts 13 [13] Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos,
they came to Perga in Pamphylia:
and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. [14] But when
they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down. [15]
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the
rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye
men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
----
Acts 15 [21] For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him,
being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.
----
Luke 4 [16] And he, Yeshua
came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom (prescribed by God's law) was, he went into the
synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for
to read. [17] And there was delivered unto him
the book of the prophet Esaias.
----
Acts 13: [27] For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and
their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets
which are read every sabbath
day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
----
Acts 13 [42] And when the Jews were gone out of the
synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these
words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
[44] And the
next sabbath day came
almost the whole city together to hear the word
of God.
----
First day of the Feast of Unleavened
Bread
Luke. 23 [56] And they
returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested
the sabbath day according to the commandment.
----
"In the future"
Yeshua said in Matt. 24 [20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the
Sabbath day:
Isa. 66 - A Sabbath, even after
the new heavens and the new earth are created
[22] For as
the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall
remain before me, saith Yehovah,
so shall your seed and your name remain.
[23] And it
shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to
another, shall all (new body) flesh come to worship before me, saith Yehovah.
[24] And they shall go forth, and look
upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed
against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched;
and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
-------------
Today's topic: 2nd week of the "7
week" journey to meet God
How are you behaving these 50 days? (Physically
and Spiritually)
From slaves in Egypt to the people of
God
-------------
Your testimony
Just a
few verses:
[10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to
be admired in all them that believe (because our
testimony among you was believed) in that day.
[8] Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of
our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of
the gospel according to the power of 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;
[5] By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death;
and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
[9] And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the
altar the souls of them that were slain for the
word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Rev. 11 the 2 Witnesses
[7] And when they shall have finished their testimony,
the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit
shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
[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.
-------------
You are the "Temple
of the Living God" and the "Light of
the World"
**Dress code**
People ask me all the time what to wear, as far as a dress code, all you
have to do is remember that you are the "Temple of
the Living God" and the "Light of the
World". This should tell you how to dress.
God says be "HOLY"
not sexy.
1 Pet. 1 [13] Wherefore gird up the loins of your
mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto
you at the revelation of Yeshua the Messiah; [14] As
obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according
to the former lusts in your ignorance:
[15] But as he which hath called you is holy,
so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
[16] Because it is written, Be
ye holy; for I am holy.
------------------------
Lev. 20 [7] Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am Yehovah your God.
------------------------
Heb. 12 [14] Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see Yehovah:
------------------------
Paul says:
1 Tim. 2 [9]… that women adorn themselves in
modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided
hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works
Shamefacedness: Modesty or (towards God) awe - reverence
Sobriety:
Soundness of mind, that is, (literally) sanity or
(figuratively) self control: - soberness, sobriety, moderate as to opinion or
passion)- discreet
------------------------
Nakedness is SIN
Hab. 2 [15] Woe unto him that giveth
his neighbour drink, that puttest
thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their
nakedness!
------------------------
Gen. 2
[1] Now the serpent was more subtil
than any beast of the field which Yehovah God had
made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
[2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees
of the garden:
[3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath
said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
[4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
[5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be
opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
[6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he
did eat.[7] And the eyes of them both were opened, and
they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons.
[10] And he said, I heard thy voice in the
garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked;
and I hid myself. [11] And he said, Who told thee
that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of
the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest
not eat?
Gen. 9 [22] And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the
nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. [23] And
Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and
their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
[24] And Noah awoke from his wine, and
knew what his younger son had done unto him.
[25] And he said, Cursed be Canaan;
a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
------------------------
Exod. 20 [22] And Yehovah said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt
say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from
heaven.
[23] Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make
unto you gods of gold.
[24] An altar of earth thou shalt make unto
me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings,
and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen:
in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless
thee.
[25] And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy
tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
[26] Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
------------------------
Exod. 32 [25] And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
------------------------
Lev. 18 [6] None of you shall approach to any that is
near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yehovah.
[7] The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. [8] The nakedness of thy
father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy
father's nakedness. [9] The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy
father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad,
even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. [10] The
nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their
nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness. [11] The nakedness of thy father's
wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister,
thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. [12] Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she
is thy father's near kinswoman. [13] Thou shalt not
uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near
kinswoman. [14] Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness
of thy father's brother, thou shalt
not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt. [15]
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter
in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover
her nakedness. [16] Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness. [17] Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take
her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they
are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. [18] Neither shalt
thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside
the other in her life time. [19] Also thou shalt not
approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for
her uncleanness.
------------------------
Lev. 20 [11] And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's
nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon
them.
[17] And if a man shall take his sister, his
father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see
his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of
their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his
iniquity. [18] And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and
shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath
uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from
among their people. [19] And thou shalt not uncover
the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
[20] And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his
uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. [21]
And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath
uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
------------------------
--------------------------------
Are you born again?
--------------------------------
John 3
[1] There was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
[2] The same came to Yeshua by night, and said
unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can
do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
[3] Yeshua
answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
[4] Nicodemus saith
unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be
born?
[5] Yeshua
answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
[7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
[8] The wind bloweth
where it listeth, and thou hearest
the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
[9] Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How
can these things be?
[10] Yeshua answered and said unto him, Art
thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these
things?
[11] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak
that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
[12] If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye
believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
------------------------
[22] Seeing ye have purified your souls in
obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see
that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
[23] Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by
the word of God, which liveth and abideth
for ever.
[24] For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower
of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof
falleth away:
[25] But the word of Yehovah endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel
is preached unto you.
------------------------
Are you a new creature, new man / woman?
2 Cor. 5 [17] Therefore
if any man be in Messiah, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new.
Eph. 4 [24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is
created in righteousness and true holiness.
Col. 3 [10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in
knowledge after the image of him that created him:
------------------------
Paul writes to the Colossians
Col. 3
[1] If ye then be risen with Messiah, seek
those things which are above, where
Messiah sitteth on the right hand of God.
[2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
[3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Messiah in God.
[4] When Messiah, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also
appear with him in glory.
[5] Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry:
[6] For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of
disobedience:
[7] In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
[8] But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,
filthy communication out of your mouth.
[9] Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with
his deeds;
[10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after
the image of him that created him:
[11] Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but
Messiah is all, and in all.
[12] Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of
mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
[13] Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have
a quarrel against any: even as Messiah forgave you, so also do ye.
[14] And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of
perfectness.
[15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the
which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
[16] Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching
and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
with grace in your hearts to Yehovah.
[17] And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of Yehovah Yeshua, giving thanks to
God and the Father by him.
[18] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in Yehovah.
[19] Husbands, love your wives, and be not
bitter against them.
[20] Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well
pleasing unto Yehovah.
[21] Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be
discouraged.
[22] Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh;
not with eyeservice, as menpleasers;
but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
[23] And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to Yehovah,
and not unto men;
[24] Knowing that of Yehovah ye shall receive
the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve Yehovah
Messiah.
[25] But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath
done: and there is no respect of persons.
------------------------
As we make our "7 week" journey to meet God, ask yourselves these 2 questions:
How are you behaving these 50 days? (Physically
and Spiritually)
Are you truly born again of the
Spirit?
------------------------
It is good to always examine ourselves and prove
all things
2 Cor. 13 [5] Examine yourselves, whether ye be
in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Yeshua the Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?
1 Thes. 5 [21] Prove all things; hold fast that which is
good.
------------------------
Shabbat Shalom
