The Good News of
July/August 2006 Volume 6, Issue 64 Offer An Offering Unto "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord, Today, Relying on the credibility of The American Heritage Talking Dictionary, copyright 1997, Computer Software, the word offer is something "given over by or as if by vow to a higher purpose." While Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 1989, on page 819, defines offer as "to present something as an act of worship or devotion; to declare one's readiness or willingness"; the Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition, copyright 1999, on page 1001, proffers that offer is "to bring before, present, or show to God in an act of worship." So for seven days, we shall come to the Feast of Tabernacles and bring an offering before According to The Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, copyright 1999, Computer Software, an offering is a "gift." A gift is a "skill." And a skill is "the ability, coming from one's knowledge, practice, aptitude, etc., to do something well." The word ability means "acquired proficiency"; and aptitude denotes "quickness in learning." These subsequent facts validate that for seven days, we shall come to the Feast of Tabernacles prepared to show unto And not only that, but these acts must be ... made by fire. Make, the present tense of made, means "to lay out; to form and hold in the mind; to set in order." Fire is described as "burning passion; excitement or enthusiasm" (as referenced in The Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, copyright 1999, Computer Software). The acts stated above must be laid out for seven days unto So, we invite you to come up to the land of Canada, the Province of Quebec, in the beautiful city of Montreal--September 28 through October 5, 2006, at the elegant Doubletree Plaza Hotel--to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord,
The Memorial of Blowing of the Trumpets
Sundown September 14, 2006 to Sundown September 15, 2006 "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. ... ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you" (Leviticus 23:24; Numbers 29:1). On the day of the Blowing of the Trumpets, we are not to do any servile work. Servile is similar in meaning to slavish, which "stresses the dependence and laborious toil of one who follows or obeys without question" (according to The Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, copyright 1999, Computer Software). The Memorial of Blowing of the Trumpets is a day set aside exclusively for us to reflect on having no regard for being dependent on and giving laborious toil for other gods, nor showing obedience to them. The trumpet is symbolic of the coming of the Son of Man, Therefore, on sundown September 14, 2006 to sundown September 15, 2006, reflect on the fact that when we break the laws of
The Day of Atonement
Sundown September 23, 2006 to Sundown September 24, 2006 "Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, The word atonement in Hebrew is kippur, and it means "expiation." Expiation is "to put an end to; to remove the guilt incurred." On the Day of Atonement, you must afflict your soul: neither food nor water is to be taken into your body. As you afflict your soul on this day, reflect upon the suffering of the Messiah, So that His suffering will not be in vain, on the Day of Atonement, entreat the Lord, Therefore, beginning sundown September 23, 2006 to sundown September 24, 2006, you shall do no manner of work; rather, nourish your mind as well as your soul with the "word" of
Budgeting Tips On How To Get To the Feasts Three Times In A Year
"Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord, To get to the feasts of Budget means that you are to take the amount of money that you have coming into your household each month and assign that money to specifically required expenses. The structuring of your family budget must be for a particular purpose and that is, to get to the three appointed feasts of Money Management
Managing money isn't always easy...especially when it doesn't always seem like there is enough money to go around. Bills, rent or mortgage payments, living expenses, and the rising cost of gasoline can all make your money appear to vanish before you've even had a chance to count it. Therefore, wisdom, in proper management of your money, becomes your defense (Ecclesiastes 7:12). Creating a realistic household budget can help you get to the feasts of
Creating a Basic Budget By creating a budget, you can better see where your money is going and where it needs to go. Your budget will not make you suddenly have more money; but, if used properly, it can help you limit unnecessary expenses. If done correctly, a family or household budget will enable you to attend the three appointed feasts of To create a family or household budget, you should follow these ten basic steps: 1. Collect your monthly bills (rent, electricity, gas, telephone, water, auto loan), as well as pay stubs and any other receipts that track regular income and expenses. 2. Begin adding up your various bills and expenses, making notes as to whether the examples that you are figuring in are high, low, or average for that particular bill or expense. 3. Figure in paying 4. Calculate the approximate amount you spend on food and other essential products (laundry powder, soap, hygiene items, paper supplies, etc.) for the home. 5. Start figuring out how much you tend to pay for gasoline and other fuel or transportation expenses each month. Be sure to keep in mind the changes in fuel costs that happen every month. 6. Determine how much you generally spend on other expenses, including entertainment and non-essential services (Block Buster, video games, etc.). 7. Once you have compiled all of this information, begin adding up pay stubs and income receipts for all contributing members of your family or household in order to determine how much money you have coming in each month. 8. Compare the total income to the total expenses.
10. Put this feast account that you have created aside and don't touch it until it is time for a feast. Be on watch for our next article. This article will feature "household" budgeting tips that are designed for you to live within your means. The Ten Plagues
of Egypt, Part 10 This is part ten of "The Ten Plagues of Egypt." We told you in part nine that we, the servants of "Behold, the HAND of the Lord,On the authority of the American Heritage Talking Dictionary, copyright 1997, Computer Software, the word behold means "to observe"; and, observe, in the same reference source, means "to watch attentively." The Oxford Universal Dictionary, copyright 1955, on page 860, describes the word hand as "a stroke." In the same reference source, on page 2045, a stroke is depicted as "an act which causes death; often, a doing of divine chastisement." While the Webster's New World Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 1953, on page 9, describes an act as "the exercise of power"; the Webster's Universal College Dictionary, copyright 1997, on page 135, defines chastise, the derivative of chastisement, as "to chasten." On the same page, chasten means "to inflict suffering upon to humble; to bring into submission." Based on these facts, the conclusion can be made that "if" President George W. Bush does not let Now since Based upon the integrity of these definitions, a plausible assertion can be made that With that understanding, we shall now proceed to our next two words to define, which are cattle and field. As documented in The New Strong's Complete Dictionary of Bible Words, copyright 1996, on page 438, the Hebrew transliteration of the word cattle is miqneh (reference number 4735), pronounced mik-neh, and is described as "livestock." Livestock is defined in the Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, copyright 1960, on page 858, as "domestic animals that are kept or raised for sale and profit." Also, the Encarta World English Dictionary, copyright 1999, on page 661, depicts the word field as "an area of agricultural land"; while the word agricultural, in the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, is synonymous to "farm." Relying on the credibility of these definitions, the "... cattle which is in the field ..." can be interpreted to mean domestic animals that are kept or raised for sale and profit on areas of farm land across America. The HAND of In returning to Exodus, Chapter 9, verse 3, it validates that not only shall this infection or illness result in DEATH upon the domestic animals, but it shall also be upon -- "... the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: ..."And this is where we shall continue our decoding with part eleven of the next segment on "The Ten Plagues of Egypt."
