I started observing sabbath when the Lord brought me to Luke 23:55-56. My spirit was touched by the actions of these women who traveled from Galilee witnessed the crucifixion of their Lord and savior, saw the tomb he was laid in and went home to prepare spices and perfumes for their saviors burial. Yet could not go to the tomb because the Sabbath had begun. In their own grief they set aside their own will to tend to the body of Jesus in order to observe this sabbath command. I was awe struck by these actions, knowing that I myself not observing this sabbath couldn't fathom not preparing the body for burial. That is when i realized how important the Sabbath was in the Hebrew community. I've relied on the Holy Spirit alone to show me how to honor our Fathers Sabbath. Exodus 35:3 lead me to begin meal prep of all my sabbath meals Friday before nightfall. I use the sabbath day to rest, study scripture and worship. It wasn't long before i started looking forward to it throughout my week. It has become a joy and delightful day i treasure. Better and more rejuvenating than any holiday or vacation i had experienced in my past.
I am a Sabbath keeper and have written about the change from Sabbath to Sunday by the church. For me, the determining factor was Revelation 14:12. 'Here is the patience of the saints, those that have the faith of Christ and the Commandments of God. That started my journey to find the Jewish roots of my faith in Yeshua.'
Hey... what does it mean by the new wine in new wineskins? Is it about old teachings? Isn't sabbath an old teaching? I am looking forward to keep Sabbath.. but don't know how. And if you don't mind can you give few more references from new testament
I personally don’t go by a label i just try to stick purely at the WORD OF GOD, i found that also as a stumbling block in life so I try to stick to HIS WORD ALONE people ask me what is my beliefs I tell them I am non confined by religion but the WORD OF GOD.. HALLELUYAH

Shabbat shalom! I’m so grateful for this teaching. I started questioning Sunday worship many years ago and could never get an answer justifying it from anyone.
Gentile believers are not required to follow the Law of Moses. so honor the Sabbath if you wish, but don't let someone tell you your not saved if you don't. The Sabbath was given SPECIFICALLY to the Jews.... Exo 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. Exo 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: not the Gentiles. Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Rom 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Because your soul and spirit , YHVH is awakening to the False gospel, that is of a rebellion demoniac LIE of the SUNday church Cult system, and its blind deceived followers. That is one reason the false gospel SUNday inculcation persuasion will NVER set right because it is a false and heretical logic. Were are told to ready ourselves as obedient to what is written. ANY thing that tells you to contradict clear teachings, to OBEY, and prepare as a Bride (Rev 19:7-8) is of a demonic spirit.
With all due respect, sabbath WAS NOT established for Jews only. It was established in creation. Another thing I would like to add is, that the children of Israel was a mixed multitude of people, Called that by the Father himself sons of Israel once again AFTER the covenant at Sinaí .
@@Fredmansfish True, the first sabbath was at the creation week, but the command to observe it didn't occur until the giving of the Law of Moses, and was specifically given to the Jews, Exo 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. Exo 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. True, sojourners and strangers in the land were required to observe it, but that was under the Theocracy of Israel. There is no Theocracy now, Hos 3:4 Gentile believers in Jesus can observe it if they desire, but are not required, Rom 14:5,6
I forgot a lot of the bible because the enemy attacked my memory but I don't ever remember reading anything myself about Sunday being the Sabbath. I thought it was Sunday because I didn't know Sunday was the last day of the week but me studying the word learned Hebrew was the first language then I found out Sat. was the last day. For God to have dealt with me all these years, it's TRUTH. SO NOW I HAVE BEEN doing so on Saturdays for about a month now..This very interesting
So far in the beginning of this message I'm feeling you.. I'm for what God is for and God has been dealing with me about the Sabbath and when God really just put in me the bible was first written in Hebrew and we are to keep the Sabbaths.. I landed here to see how Jews celebrate the Sabbath. I'm an adopted Jew being I became one when I received Jesus. I learned God from the Holy Spirit so I believe the word if God to be just that from Genesis to Revelations. Let's see where you go with this. So far I'm still here
Thank you. I've been on a journey myself! The history part was very insightful and helpful and will read more about it. I didn't know the verses in Isaiah that was very sobering.
Shabbat Shalom Lauren ! Would be wonderful if you could go to Sukkot to meet Monte, as I was there in 2020, and would love going back again. But still it's a great blessing for me, to know these teachings are now going world-wide, even in Cyprus. I pray you have a blessed and wonderful Sabbath ! Herb in Southeast Georgia, USA
In the word God doesn't give exclusions for who can and can't keep the Sabbath. If we all observed it these officials could keep it. Wow..This some TEACHING I been searching for.Spiritual and not religious
Wow. That hit me hard. To think that l expect to be raptured and go go and live with Yeshua in his house, what a cheek, when l have never invented Yeshua into my house on Sabbath. I feel ashamed of myself and plan on changing Sunday to Saturday as my Sabbath day and to invite Yeshua in as a guest in my house. Thank you for your honest teachings. We Christians have a lot to learn.❤❤❤😢😮
Me too, I’m with you! Jesus said that narrow is the way. Obeying in very important. It takes courage and boldness and that pleases Jesus. Blessings to you! Keep going, right behind you with many others.
It's one thing to look at Sabbath in fear of death and salvation... It's another thing to look at Sabbath as an opportunity to keep the Dinner Appointment with my Loving Father Who Wants to Spend Time with me and Bless my home with His Relationship with me. I "get to" have the Relationship. Not because I "have to"
I totally agree my brother on Shabbat. I go to a Church a God but the more I learn the more I see the Jewish worship. This episode has blessed me beyond words. SHABBAT SHALOM my brother!
Thanks for sharing this message! I'm inspired by hearing how Jews practice the Sabbath--coming from a Seventh Day Adventist. All praise and glory to Him.
My WHOLE JOURNEY into the Messianic Faith started EXACTLY like that.. WHAT DOES SCRIPTURES SAYS about the SABBATH vs Sunday and was given all kinds of stories and excuses NOT to ASK QUESTIONS by my Christian brethren 🤨
I believe in the Sabbath and want to practice it. I pray God gives me provisions for myself to be able to fully partake in the Sabbath but right now I work 2 days on and 2 days off. So every other Sabbath I work. Ive prayed over this and my heart is with the Sabbath. What else can I do at this point?
Just pray for another job that will not require you to work on Sabbath. You need to make a leap of faith. Our Father in heaven will provide what you need.
Thanks, your explanation of how to keep Shabbat was very helpful. I like the idea of inviting the Father into our home at the beginning of the Sabbath.
Thank you rabbi Monte for your teaching. They are spiritual bread for my soul . I haven’t understand how starving I have been . God bless you , your teachings and your family 🙏
Rick, you can share this and other teachings from Monte, to your friends and family, then ask them to do the same. Yeah, I would love for Monte to come to Southeast Georgia, where I live, to teach whatever he would like to. But he probably stays busy with all he has to do these days. Hope you're still watching the teachings every weekend. Blessings and Shalom 🖖
Thank you Monte for your wonderful teachings. So many unanswered questions and confusion has seen the light. So much personal interpretations and not knowing the culture has been passed down. Everyone wants a piece of Jesus but never pay attention and READ WHAT HE SAYS. They have adopted the Bible to fit their agenda. Oh yes, narrow is the way. I have made my choice and will not inherit falls teachings. I’ll be the one face to face with Jesus not anyone else. Blessings always. Thank you for your valuable TRUE teaching. Don’t worry about the attacks. I don’t!
Wow this is amazing at 70years of age and read my bible and attend bible study and not once did any one of my leaders discussed this bless you for your guidance and I am closer and closer to the decision to become a messianic Jew bless you🙏🙏🙏
Monty you are such a Blessing to me with helping me to understand the Word and building my relationship with Abba it is by His Rurah Ha Koddesh L love the scriptures and it helps me to see the bigger picture of all the stories how they come together from the Hebrew perspective. I just love YAHUSHA so much and l want to be obedient to His word amen 🔥🔥🔥 From Annie Western Australia
Shabbat shalom teacher! Thank you for bringing me a brand new way of understanding Torah. You are a faithful servant of our faithful Messiah YESHUA 🙌🙌 🩸🗝️👑🗡️⚔️👂👀✨
I explain it like this: The lord takes Shabbat off to listen to us. Think back when you called your parents when they were working they only half heard what you said and mostly forgot your words. Well, jhwh works 6 days a week he is too busy to respond quickly to your prayers. Yet he waits always Saturday to listen to you, yet your off playing around. Would a actor come to your house or the president? How much more is God?
This is a very important teaching for us in this time. A few years ago my family started keeping the Sabbath. We just wanted truth. I'm glad we have found it. Thank you for enlightening and encouraging us. God bless you 🙏
Amen. Absolute truth!! Sunday sabbath is a manmade religion and is unbiblical. It will be the mark of the beast in the near future. God bless this ministry. Shabbat shalom
Monte, thank you for this, and all your teachings, they are awesome, enlightening, and delightful. They make us aware of a true walk with our Lord and Creator. Thank you again.
There are two aspects to this topic: 1) One is the day. Sabbath is the 7th day... Never the first day... 2) Often overlooked is the fact that Sabbath is NOT commanded to be either a day of communal gathering or group worship! Look: Exodus 20 8-11 "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD 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: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it." It's to be a day of REST & REMEMBERING. I am Jewish. I stay home and Rest!
1. Exodus 20:6 - 6but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. 2. Can you tell me if have a different version of the Scriptures that has different wording for Leviticus 23:1 and 2 ? Leviticus 23:1 and 2 - 1Then the LORD said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘These are My appointed feasts, the feasts of the LORD that you are to proclaim as SACRED ASSEMBLIES. 3For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a day of SACRED ASSEMBLY. You must not do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD. Can you tell me what a SACRED ASSEMBLY is? How do I assemble if it is just me at home by myself? This troubles me because: I have no Assembly around me that is less that 4 hours away... The Synagogue that is near me is "Alphabet Friendly"...
@@bawbjusbawb6471 Good question. My Jewish Mother taught me that gathering at home with family fulfilled this. However, if you are 'alone' (as am I in the diaspora) assemble (or meet God) as best you can. 🙏
@@Sir_Viver BEFORE the 10 commandments: Exodus 16:29 KJV - See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. Orthodox Jews recognize the headship principal of the father of a family leading his wife, children and those of his household (tent) on the Sabbath. There is NO requirement to leave one's house! Even Leviticus 23 2-3 says, "... in all of your dwelling places." Clearly not just one place (later a synagogue). Read scripture carefully... 🙏
@@Sir_Viver Pay attention! Of course you may congregate outside of your house... OR, within your house with your family. Sabbath means rest and separate yourself from your common labor. Sabbath is NOT Sunday!
@UCZqhAkWfpGup5nosSAXktYA I completely agree 💯 Not so much a "big deal" but rather a reflection of an overall pattern of YHVH... "The Father, Son & Holy Spirit" , the main feasts (months 1, 3 & 7), husband, wife & children... Many patterns of 3's... So, there are also 3 houses: 1) Our body (temple of the Holy Spirit) 2) Family (household) 3) The assembly, ecclesia, literally "church." Salvation is primary in the individual. Each adult is responsible for their choices. The 2nd house has spiritual authority not to be exceeded by the general congregation. The 'body' or congregation is where we grow up in Christ. This is God's order which establishes His Ordinances. Nice chatting... 🙏
Monte Judah, This was an excellent teaching! Thank you so much for taking the time and the effort to put it together for us... Thanks for your patience as you explain everything, it is also appreciated... May Abba-Yah bless and keep you!
The Foreigners were always included in Beginning Scripture to jo8n with Israel to Follow Sabbath. Exodus 20 4th Commandment include s foreigner. Also Isaiah 56. Yeshua my Shepherd kept this Sabbath. We are His disciples, we are to Follow His ways.
My biggest issue with the Shabbat is that if it is so important, shouldn’t we know exactly when it is? Whose calendar should we be following? Abib 10th should not land on Shabbat. The Israelites marched seven days around Jericho. Which day was Shabbat? Why are the Biblical feast days determined by a different calendar than the “Sabbath “? The answers are in the Word and history, but are many asking these questions and finding the answers? Hillel II
God Created us in His own Image. Then we are to observe all what He commanded us to do. He is the only Authority we follow, not our own or men. The more we apply the wird if Yah in our life, the more understanding and wisdom He will give to us to be perfect and holy.
God created Adam and Eve in His image and likeness. When we are born into the world, we are not born in the image of God. When Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden, they walked with God. But when they both ate of the fruit that God said not to eat, they had to leave the garden, because sin can not be in the presence of God. When Adam bore a son whose name was Seth, from Seth to where we are today, we all have been born in the image and likeness of Adam. This is why we must be 'born again', so we will again be born in the image and likeness of God. Go look in Genesis chapter 5 and read it for yourself. Hope you have a wonderful day. Blessings and Shalom 🖖
I have recently begun to "Keep the Shabbat" . And it has become a true blessing to me and my family. However I do believe that G-D also takes pleasure in us worshipping Him on Sunday, and on Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Don't you Brother Monte ? See to me the real issue is "Keeping the Shabbat" . But we should worship Adonai EVERY DAY of the week.
Yes. We worship God every day of the week but the Sabbath is set apart, holy. God sanctified it. That’s the only day He sanctified. The commandment in Lev 23 tells us to have a holy convocation on the Sabbath. That is worshipping as a community/assembly. He gave that commandments after the building of the tabernacle.
I did a big study on the sabbath about a year ago and knew all this. Since I am Jewish I do Friday night sabbath and I go to synagogue and church. Fortunately I have gone to a Presbyterian Church which teaches most of what you say but I would say every one of my christian friends will not change to Friday night sabbath. sigh. Can't wait til what you say about Pork! I don't see where God ever changed the 'this is food, and this is not food' command.
Thanks, I enjoyed listening to this teaching. Will there be a part two covering all the other references to Sabbath and holy days and new moons in the New Testament? I felt that this material was cut much too short.
The united church of God, founded by Mr Herbert Armstrong recognize the Sabbath and mr Armstrongs profetic insight as to what would happen through the spirit of Constantine was Exact. I wish I lived in Edmond sometimes to visit the tuned in churches there. 7
I keep saying the same thing myself... And then I say, "Self, if GOD didn't want you right where you are right now, He would not have put you there." There is a purpose for everything under heaven... May Abba-Yah Bless and keep you!
Mr. Armstrong's teachings are what caused me to start looking at MANY topics, including Sabbath. The only problem I had with the CoG was they teach as doctrine NOT to vote. They teach ONLY heavenly citizenship, even though Paul recognized, and even benefitted from, his Roman citizenship.
Christians were worshipping on Sunday long before Constantine. There are three places in scripture that show worship, even corporate worship, on Sunday, the Lord's Day. Justin Martyr mentions it, as well. More sources can likely be found, but those are just a few, three biblical sources and one that I found just by a quick search, knowing the sources are available.
Brother Monte, as a former Christian I ask, how can Christians be our bretheren if they are not keeping the commandments of YHVH? The Christian is not grafted into the olive tree of Israel because of how they have been taught.
I'd like to ask anyone in this forum about this. I might have missed it, but I don't recall him saying anything about Romans 14:5-12 where Paul seems to say it doesn't matter.
Matthew 5:19-20 So whoever violates even the least important of the commandments, and teaches others to do so, will be called least in heaven's kingdom. But whoever obeys them and teaches their truths to others will be called great in heaven's kingdom. Focus on the teachings of Yahshua, it is in harmony with the Father's Word. John 7:16-17 16 Yahshua answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. On who's Authority Paul speaking that the dietary law was done away with? Always fact check where did Paul get that teachings?
So is it acceptable to drive to the congregation for Shabbat sevices? Or perhapse a short drive to a local park to walk in the Creation? Or a short drive to visit with family and have a meal with them? I just began trying to keep the Sabbath, and trying to learn what is acceptable, but of course I have come upon all the traditional "Orthodox" teachings which seem extream. I have been lighting the Shabbat candels and blessing the wine and bread, but have not yet closed out Shabbat with Havdala. I refrain from work, and shopping (even online), watching the news, and social media (other than Shabbat and messianic learning), and all house work (other than cooking my food). Any suggestions and guidance would be aprreciated. Thank you.
would u touch on cooking in this age.. we dont gather wood to cook. we have an electric stove, or a griddle, or a grill. im too old to slave over anything.. but do heat up sometimes on one of these 3.. i do hate cooking.. but i like Hot food. also im a diabetic vegan and how do i do the feasts.?

Thank you rabbi Monte for your teaching. They are spiritual bread for my soul . I haven’t understand how starving I have been .
God bless you , your teachings and your family 🙏
The Sabbath. A foundational truth and doctrine.
MONTY , I really would like you to come to Florida and teach this course ,,,,, please
Rick, you can share this and other teachings from Monte, to your friends and family, then ask them to do the same. Yeah, I would love for Monte to come to Southeast Georgia, where I live, to teach whatever he would like to. But he probably stays busy with all he has to do these days.
Hope you're still watching the teachings every weekend.
Blessings and Shalom 🖖
I'm trying to learn about the Sabbath. I didn't know there was an opening and closing ceremonies for it. Thank you for voicing those things.
THANK YOU FOR THIS SERIES PLEASE DON'T STOP THE SERIES!!!
Thank you Monte for your wonderful teachings. So many unanswered questions and confusion has seen the light. So much personal interpretations and not knowing the culture has been passed down. Everyone wants a piece of Jesus but never pay attention and READ WHAT HE SAYS. They have adopted the Bible to fit their agenda. Oh yes, narrow is the way. I have made my choice and will not inherit falls teachings. I’ll be the one face to face with Jesus not anyone else. Blessings always. Thank you for your valuable TRUE teaching. Don’t worry about the attacks. I don’t!
Wow this is amazing at 70years of age and read my bible and attend bible study and not once did any one of my leaders discussed this bless you for your guidance and I am closer and closer to the decision to become a messianic Jew bless you🙏🙏🙏
Isaiah 58:13 -14
Shabbat Shalom 🕎
Monty you are such a Blessing to me with helping me to understand the Word and building my relationship with Abba it is by His Rurah Ha Koddesh L love the scriptures and it helps me to see the bigger picture of all the stories how they come together from the Hebrew perspective.
I just love YAHUSHA so much and l want to be obedient to His word amen 🔥🔥🔥
From Annie Western Australia
Shabbat Shalom!!!
Shabbat shalom teacher! Thank you for bringing me a brand new way of understanding Torah. You are a faithful servant of our faithful Messiah YESHUA 🙌🙌 🩸🗝️👑🗡️⚔️👂👀✨
Thumbs up teaching!!
Shabbat Shalom Family!!!
Sabbath IS a delight! And Monte, you have contributed to my joy. Thanks for sharing this series with us.
Shabbat was the first move! When I read Genesis 2.3, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes convincing me the truth.
Best explanation of Sabbath observing ever!
Will you make a teaching about breaking of bread and its different customs, too?
Thanks in advance
Thank you Monte💙
You always give good analogies to help us understand (Aunt Bertha coming to visit). Thanks so much. Shabbat Shalom 🌺
Very good teaching no one could say it better. Amen 🙏 Rabbi
So good, Brother Monte. Thank you so much!.
Amen!
I explain it like this:
The lord takes Shabbat off to listen to us. Think back when you called your parents when they were working they only half heard what you said and mostly forgot your words. Well, jhwh works 6 days a week he is too busy to respond quickly to your prayers. Yet he waits always Saturday to listen to you, yet your off playing around. Would a actor come to your house or the president? How much more is God?
Amen...SHABBAT SHALOM HALLELUYAH
This is a very important teaching for us in this time. A few years ago my family started keeping the Sabbath. We just wanted truth. I'm glad we have found it. Thank you for enlightening and encouraging us. God bless you 🙏
Shabbat shalom from Texas🌿
Amen. Absolute truth!!
Sunday sabbath is a manmade religion and is unbiblical. It will be the mark of the beast in the near future.
God bless this ministry.
Shabbat shalom
SHABBAT SHALOM !!
PRAISE THE LORD !
HALLELUYAH AMEN !!!
GOD BLESS ISRAEL AMEN !!!
Monte, thank you for this, and all your teachings, they are awesome, enlightening, and delightful. They make us aware of a true walk with our Lord and Creator. Thank you again.
Shabbat Shalom, family!!!
♥️🙏🙌🙏♥️🙏🙏
There are two aspects to this topic:
1) One is the day. Sabbath is the 7th day... Never the first day...
2) Often overlooked is the fact that Sabbath is NOT commanded to be either a day of communal gathering or group worship! Look:
Exodus 20 8-11
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD 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:
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."
It's to be a day of REST & REMEMBERING. I am Jewish. I stay home and Rest!
1. Exodus 20:6 - 6but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
2. Can you tell me if have a different version of the Scriptures that has different wording for Leviticus 23:1 and 2 ?
Leviticus 23:1 and 2 - 1Then the LORD said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘These are My appointed feasts, the feasts of the LORD that you are to proclaim as SACRED ASSEMBLIES. 3For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a day of SACRED ASSEMBLY. You must not do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD.
Can you tell me what a SACRED ASSEMBLY is?
How do I assemble if it is just me at home by myself?
This troubles me because:
I have no Assembly around me that is less that 4 hours away...
The Synagogue that is near me is "Alphabet Friendly"...
@@bawbjusbawb6471
Good question.
My Jewish Mother taught me that gathering at home with family fulfilled this.
However, if you are 'alone' (as am I in the diaspora) assemble (or meet God) as best you can. 🙏
@@Sir_Viver
BEFORE the 10 commandments:
Exodus 16:29 KJV - See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
Orthodox Jews recognize the headship principal of the father of a family leading his wife, children and those of his household (tent) on the Sabbath. There is NO requirement to leave one's house!
Even Leviticus 23 2-3 says, "... in all of your dwelling places."
Clearly not just one place (later a synagogue).
Read scripture carefully... 🙏
@@Sir_Viver
Pay attention!
Of course you may congregate outside of your house... OR, within your house with your family.
Sabbath means rest and separate yourself from your common labor.
Sabbath is NOT Sunday!
@UCZqhAkWfpGup5nosSAXktYA
I completely agree 💯
Not so much a "big deal" but rather a reflection of an overall pattern of YHVH... "The Father, Son & Holy Spirit" , the main feasts (months 1, 3 & 7), husband, wife & children... Many patterns of 3's... So, there are also 3 houses:
1) Our body (temple of the Holy Spirit)
2) Family (household)
3) The assembly, ecclesia, literally "church."
Salvation is primary in the individual. Each adult is responsible for their choices.
The 2nd house has spiritual authority not to be exceeded by the general congregation.
The 'body' or congregation is where we grow up in Christ.
This is God's order which establishes His Ordinances.
Nice chatting... 🙏
Fabulous teaching!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Excellent teaching
Shabbat shalom, mishpacha! 💚
great stuff Monty! please pray for my parents and parent in laws. they still practice christian beliefs like pork and sunday sabbath.
The sun God Mithras birthday is 25th december.
Shabbat Shalom. Very interesting and informative! The only thing, is that in the N.T time we invite Yeshua to our house every day.
When it says to not kindle a fire on the Sabbath, do they light it on Sabbath or before Sabbath?
Monte Judah,
This was an excellent teaching!
Thank you so much for taking the time and the effort to put it together for us...
Thanks for your patience as you explain everything, it is also appreciated...
May Abba-Yah bless and keep you!
The Foreigners were always included in Beginning Scripture to jo8n with Israel to Follow Sabbath. Exodus 20 4th Commandment include s foreigner. Also Isaiah 56. Yeshua my Shepherd kept this Sabbath. We are His disciples, we are to Follow His ways.
My biggest issue with the Shabbat is that if it is so important, shouldn’t we know exactly when it is? Whose calendar should we be following? Abib 10th should not land on Shabbat. The Israelites marched seven days around Jericho. Which day was Shabbat? Why are the Biblical feast days determined by a different calendar than the “Sabbath “? The answers are in the Word and history, but are many asking these questions and finding the answers? Hillel II
I am enjoying the messages, but have yet to find the calendar and cosmology being addressed along with the other topics. Shalom
Wonderfully, clearly explained. Thank you
Thank you 🙏 so for explaining the Sabbath
God Created us in His own Image. Then we are to observe all what He commanded us to do. He is the only Authority we follow, not our own or men. The more we apply the wird if Yah in our life, the more understanding and wisdom He will give to us to be perfect and holy.
God created Adam and Eve in His image and likeness. When we are born into the world, we are not born in the image of God. When Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden, they walked with God. But when they both ate of the fruit that God said not to eat, they had to leave the garden, because sin can not be in the presence of God.
When Adam bore a son whose name was Seth, from Seth to where we are today, we all have been born in the image and likeness of Adam.
This is why we must be 'born again', so we will again be born in the image and likeness of God.
Go look in Genesis chapter 5 and read it for yourself. Hope you have a wonderful day. Blessings and Shalom 🖖
I have recently begun to "Keep the Shabbat" . And it has become a true blessing to me and my family.
However I do believe that G-D also takes pleasure in us worshipping Him on Sunday, and on Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Don't you Brother Monte ? See to me the real issue is "Keeping the Shabbat" . But we should worship Adonai EVERY DAY of the week.
Yes. We worship God every day of the week but the Sabbath is set apart, holy. God sanctified it. That’s the only day He sanctified. The commandment in Lev 23 tells us to have a holy convocation on the Sabbath. That is worshipping as a community/assembly. He gave that commandments after the building of the tabernacle.
I did a big study on the sabbath about a year ago and knew all this. Since I am Jewish I do Friday night sabbath and I go to synagogue and church. Fortunately I have gone to a Presbyterian Church which teaches most of what you say but I would say every one of my christian friends will not change to Friday night sabbath. sigh. Can't wait til what you say about Pork! I don't see where God ever changed the 'this is food, and this is not food' command.
Thank you monte ..verry interesting teaching..love it❤
Sunday worship is a perfect example of syncretism.
Thanks, I enjoyed listening to this teaching. Will there be a part two covering all the other references to Sabbath and holy days and new moons in the New Testament? I felt that this material was cut much too short.
The united church of God, founded by Mr Herbert Armstrong recognize the Sabbath and mr Armstrongs profetic insight as to what would happen through the spirit of Constantine was Exact. I wish I lived in Edmond sometimes to visit the tuned in churches there. 7
I keep saying the same thing myself...
And then I say, "Self, if GOD didn't want you right where you are right now, He would not have put you there."
There is a purpose for everything under heaven...
May Abba-Yah Bless and keep you!
Mr. Armstrong's teachings are what caused me to start looking at MANY topics, including Sabbath. The only problem I had with the CoG was they teach as doctrine NOT to vote. They teach ONLY heavenly citizenship, even though Paul recognized, and even benefitted from, his Roman citizenship.
Christians were worshipping on Sunday long before Constantine. There are three places in scripture that show worship, even corporate worship, on Sunday, the Lord's Day. Justin Martyr mentions it, as well. More sources can likely be found, but those are just a few, three biblical sources and one that I found just by a quick search, knowing the sources are available.
Could you list the three please?
There are no scriptures that show worship on Sunday.
All those positions ARE STILL REQUIRED TO KEEP SABBATH, but they are allowed to do their duties on the Sabbath. There is a big difference.
Hello Mishpacha
Shabbat Shalom Gina ! I'm blessed to be part of His family!
Herb in Southeast Georgia USA
@Herbert Prince nice to meet you Herb!
@@ginacurcio3107 Nice meeting you as well, Gina.
Brother Monte, as a former Christian I ask, how can Christians be our bretheren if they are not keeping the commandments of YHVH? The Christian is not grafted into the olive tree of Israel because of how they have been taught.
I'd like to ask anyone in this forum about this. I might have missed it, but I don't recall him saying anything about Romans 14:5-12 where Paul seems to say it doesn't matter.
Matthew 5:19-20
So whoever violates even the least important of the commandments, and teaches others to do so, will be called least in heaven's kingdom. But whoever obeys them and teaches their truths to others will be called great in heaven's kingdom.
Focus on the teachings of Yahshua, it is in harmony with the Father's Word.
John 7:16-17
16 Yahshua answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.
On who's Authority Paul speaking that the dietary law was done away with?
Always fact check where did Paul get that teachings?

So is it acceptable to drive to the congregation for Shabbat sevices? Or perhapse a short drive to a local park to walk in the Creation? Or a short drive to visit with family and have a meal with them? I just began trying to keep the Sabbath, and trying to learn what is acceptable, but of course I have come upon all the traditional "Orthodox" teachings which seem extream. I have been lighting the Shabbat candels and blessing the wine and bread, but have not yet closed out Shabbat with Havdala. I refrain from work, and shopping (even online), watching the news, and social media (other than Shabbat and messianic learning), and all house work (other than cooking my food). Any suggestions and guidance would be aprreciated. Thank you.
would u touch on cooking in this age.. we dont gather wood to cook. we have an electric stove, or a griddle, or a grill. im too old to slave over anything.. but do heat up sometimes on one of these 3.. i do hate cooking.. but i like Hot food. also im a diabetic vegan and how do i do the feasts.?
