One Nation Under God Ministries ( How Does God Measure Time? One Nation Under God Ministries (www.onug.us) How Does God Measure Time? 1 One Nation Under God Ministries (www.onug.us) How Does God Measure Time? Can humans really know how God measures Time? Has time ever been lost? Is it possible to know when time began? Which of the many human calendars should we use today? Did you know that Astronomers, Historians, Bible Scholars, and even God himself; all agree on one amazing fact…? …And that FACT is that the world has ALWAYS had a measurement of time that has always consisted of a seven day week! From Creation, right up until our present time; there has never been a time, even once upon a time; when humans did not have a seven day week with which to measure and record time!!! Bible Study Instructions: One Nation Under God Ministries (www.onug.us) publishes and distributes weekly Bible Studies, worldwide – free of charge, to anyone who requests them, in both printed and electronic formats. Our Studies are intended to be a simple and fun way to learn the Scriptures, and are very easy to follow! We adhere to Jesus Christ’s Biblical instructions to teach and feed the flock of God portions of meat in due season, on weekly Sabbaths, and on the seven annual Holy Days throughout each calendar year (Luke 12:42 / Isaiah 28:9-10 / Matthew 13:52). Using both the Old and New Testaments, our Bible Studies are designed to present a premise, make a statement, or ask a question – followed by one or more Scriptural references. Just look up and read from your Bible the Scriptures listed. Comments following questions elaborate on the Scriptures you just read. Pray always before beginning any study of God’s Word, asking God to open both your eyes and your mind to His Truth; then Prove everything you read, is in fact the Truth, by comparing it to The Word of God (1 Thessalonians 5:21 / 2 Timothy 3:15-17). Then use the Biblical System of Checks and Balances, and SEE if both Jesus Christ, and the First Century Church of God Apostles – also Did, Said, and Taught these SAME THINGS (Galatians 1:1-12, 5:25 / 1 Peter 2:21, 25 / 1 John 2:3-6)! That’s all there is to it! Our Bible Studies are based on the King James Version, unless otherwise stated. We will be praying for your eyes to “see” (Matthew 13:11- 17); and we are always available to answer any of your questions! Be Blessed, in Jesus’ Name! - One Nation Under God Ministries (www.onug.us). 2 Now for those of you who follow our Bible Studies regularly; you know that the Bible says the seventh day is the Sabbath of The LORD Thy God (Exodus 20:10 / Deuteronomy 5:14). God, as our Creator, made heaven and earth in six days, resting and was refreshed on the seventh day. In fact, God, starting with Adam, made the seventh day commanded observance of His Sabbath, a Sign between Him and man – throughout time (Genesis 2:1-3 / Exodus 31:16-17). Let’s make this even more clear for those in the New Testament Church of God, by reading Hebrews 4:1-11 and replacing the KJV replacement word “rest” with the original word “Sabbath”! The times we keep or don’t keep, play a very important role in whether or not we get to KNOW who God is, and whether we learn HOW to worship Him correctly (John 4:21-26)! You see, Jesus’ Words did come true! Those in Jerusalem had God’s Sabbath, and they had His High Priest too – in the flesh! But most rejected His Teachings, and most rejected His Sacrifice, and most rejected His Passover – actually killing Christ on His Passover; then celebrating “their” Jewish Passover on the next day (the 15th of Aviv, instead of the Commanded 14th day! Leviticus 23:4-8)!!! Deuteronomy 12:32 / Revelation 22:18-21!!! 3 Today’s Lesson was designed to complement two of our previous Bible Studies: Do You Have The Sign Of God? and The LORD’s Passover (Part 3) How Can I Know I Am Keeping It On The Correct Day? If you have not yet read these Bible Studies; we invite you discover some of the long ago forgotten, Biblical Truths which they contain (at www.onug.us)! They are also excellent tools to help you prove how God measures time; and will teach you why it is important for us humans to keep time EXACTLY the way our Father in heaven does – and tells us to do also!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------- After Creation, God had Adam and the Angels do 3 Things on the Seventh Day: www.onug.us 1) Sabat or To Cease From Labor. “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on The Seventh Day, God Ended His Work which He 4 had Made; and He Rested on The Seventh Day from ALL His Work which He had Made! And God Blessed The Seventh Day, and Sanctified It (Set It Apart as Holy): because that in It He had Rested from ALL His Work which God Created and Made!” (Genesis 2:1-3). There was still much more important work to do to organize and manage The New Creation; but God Himself STOPPED His Labor and thereby Set An Eternal Example for ALL of Creation Through Eternity, To FOLLOW Him in Obediently Honoring The Seventh Day as Holy to God (Isaiah 58:13-14, 66:23-24)!!! 2) We Convocate or Gather on The Seventh Day Sabbath with others Chosen (John 15:16) by God. www.onug.us “Six days shall work be done: but The Seventh Day is The Sabbath of Rest (Sabat or ceasing of our Labor), an Holy Convocation (or a Holy Gathering of God’s People); ye shall do NO work Therein: It is The Sabbath of The LORD (It Belongs to Him!) in ALL your dwellings!!!” (Leviticus 23:3). 3) We Study The Word of God, Prayerfully, and In Worship of Our Father. The Sabbath Days (Leviticus 23:1-44) are for Learning and being Taught about God, His Son, and His Soon Coming Kingdom!!! www.onug.us “And He (Jesus) Taught in their synagogues, being Glorified of all! And He (Jesus) came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His Custom was (and as our Custom is still today), He went into the synagogue on The Sabbath Day (Saturday), and stood up for to Read (The Scriptures)!!!” (Luke 4:16). “And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on The Sabbath Day, He (Jesus) entered into the synagogue, and Taught!!!” (Mark 1:21). “When He entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was Teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?” (Matthew 21:23). 5 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ALL Power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth!!! Go ye therefore, and Teach all nations, Baptizing them in The Name of the Father, and of The Son; and with the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to Observe ALL Things whatsoever I have Commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world!!! Amen.” (Matthew 28:18-20). The Seventh Day Sabbath is, by Scripture, Proven (1 Thessalonians 5:21 / Isaiah 28:9-10) to BE The Sign, Mark, or Seal of The CREATOR God (Exodus 31:12-18 / Hebrews 4:1- 11)!!! We Come to Him, Learn of Him, and Repent to Him, on His Holy Sabbath Day!!! Don’t ever again let a fat, bald man in a golden chair convince you, that the sun god day, or Sunday; a day to honor the fallen cherubim - Lucifer the Lightbringer, is the Lord’s Day! Sunday is a counterfeit day or worship! www.onug.us “For The Son of Man is Lord even of The Sabbath Day!!!” (Matthew 12:8). “In The Beginning was The Word (Jesus Christ) and The Word (Jesus Christ) was with God (The Father), and The Word (Jesus Christ) was God {God the Father (1) and Jesus Christ (2) are the ONLY TWO that Scripture says make up the Godhead! See this again in Revelation 22:1-5} !!! The Same (Jesus Christ) was in The Beginning (at Creation) with God (The Father)!!! All things were Made by Him (Jesus Christ); and without Him (Jesus Christ) was not any thing made that was made!!! In Him (Jesus Christ) was Life; and The Life was The Light of men!!! And The Light (Jesus Christ) Shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended It (The Light, or Jesus Christ) NOT!!!” (John 1:1- 5). Christ is LORD of The Sabbath and of us; Because He Created BOTH The Sabbath and The Universe!!! Let Christ’s Light and His Word SHINE Brightly on YOU this Sabbath Day! Learn The TRUTH 6 and The POWER contained in the Seventh Day Sabbath of The Creator God!!! Come and Rest with us, Come and Gather with us, Come and Study with us; and Learn to Worship The Father in Spirit and in Truth on His Biblically Ordained Sabbath Days (John 4:22-26)!!! www.onug.us “I Jesus have sent Mine Angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I Am the root and the offspring of David, and The Bright and Morning Star!!! And The Spirit and the bride say, Come!!! And let him that heareth say, Come!!! And let him that is athirst Come!!! And whosoever will, let him take The Water of Life freely!!! For I Testify unto every man that Heareth The Words of The Prophecy of This Book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in This Book: And if any man shall take away from The Words of The Book of This Prophecy, God shall take away his part out of The Book of Life, and out of The Holy City, and from the things which are Written in This Book!!!” (Revelation 22:16-19).

  • The Southesk and Other Rune Prime-Staves Or Scandinavian Wooden Calendars
    VII. THE SOUTHESK AND OTHER RUNE PRIME-STAVES OR SCANDINAVIAN WOODEN CALENDARS. BY H. F. MORLAND SIMPSON, M.A., F.S.A. SCOT. Two summers ago the Earl of Southesk showed me a walking-stick finely carved with runes and symbols, and permitted me to take a rubbing of an object strange but interesting. It was said to have belonged to a Russian Count, but nothing more was known of its previous history. The staff (fig. 1) is some 43 inches long, round, and tapering, with a brass ferrule and iron spike. The head is made of a fine pale blue-grey agate mounted in a crown-shaped setting of silver niello, of modern workmanship and Russian style, according to Lord Southesk, who is expert in gems. Below this the staff is pierced for a tassel, and the hole ornamented with a star in the same style. The wood is smooth, and fine in grain, stained or darkened by age. The inscription is 37 inch.es long, in two columns, each consisting of a double row of runes, with symbols between. The runes are spaced at irregular intervals by a sun and moon enclosed in circles (v. fig. 1, No. 1, &c.). The lower part, 5£ inches long, contains several systems of dashed runes, then quite unknown to me, and specially difficult to solve. The upper row of runes in each column is made up of the first seven S» 5' 52-Si- §>. 54. S5S*-S1 99. 59. <»0. rf,. v^l^ •'(r^rD^^rpp^t+tiiWi 2 13 >3.

And the Mayan graphics were so stunning, they were just, they were beautiful. And I bought a book on the Maya to start to produce the Mayan symbols as jewelry and then I got into reading the definitions of the symbols and it was very very plain that the Mayan civilization was very very spiritual.

  • Ord Fra Presidenten Kulturhjørnet (Culture Corner) Norwegians in Brooklyn Stein Fjell Contacts
    ORD FRA PRESIDENTEN KULTURHJØRNET (CULTURE CORNER) NORWEGIANS IN BROOKLYN As a melting pot of nationalities, Nancy L. Dunn, Cultural Director many of us are struggling with our identity. We know we are American but we are short on traditions and the understanding of where our fam- ilies come from. For some of us, if not all of us, it makes us feel a bit rootless and we long to belong to something tangible. For me, heritage is partly based on tradition that is passed down from parents and grandparents. Religion also is part of that tradition, for some of us anyway. Tradition also is about the music you listen to (hopefully more Norwegian) and the friends that you hang out with. And, if any, what kind of drinks that you favor, such as Aquavit or other brands that are Norwegian. It includes The picture above is from the book, Lapskaus the foods that you eat, at lutefisk dinners and Syttende Boulevard, Et gjensyn med det Norske Brooklyn, about the Mai, as well as those eaten at picnics with family and huge Norwegian enclave that was once centered on friends, especially on Norwegian holidays. This is what Lapskaus Boulevard (8th Avenue) in Brooklyn, New York. comes to my mind when I think of heritage, and it is what Come and tour Lapskaus Boulevard during our April I strive for. “Why waste time on out-dated traditions?” program as Ras and Marian Erdal, Inger Froyland, and “Times change, we don’t need that old stuff anymore, we Rosalind Larsen share their experiences related to this like our modern ways now.” I believe that you can do unique section of Bay Ridge in Brooklyn.

  • Proposal to Extend the Calendar Style Mechanism of CFPS 43 Into an Abstract Formatting Model
    CFPS 67 (Call for Papers Submission number 67) Proposal to extend the calendar style mechanism of CFPS 43 into an abstract formatting model Submitted by: Smith, Richard Created: 2013-04-30 URL: Most recent version: http://fhiso.org/files/cfp/cfps67.pdf This version: http://fhiso.org/files/cfp/cfps67_v1-0.pdf Description: CFPS 43's style mechanism is extended into abstract formatting model that would allow applications to format correctly dates written in many unknown calendar systems. Keywords: dates, calendars, date style, formatting, calendar facets Family History Information Standards Organisation, Inc. http://fhiso.org/ Abstract is paper develops the concept of a calendar style s proposed in 43 to encapsulate important presentational aspects of dates, and in the process renames them calendar facets. e need to support third-party facets, po- tentially in combination, requires a general vocabulary to be used in their definitions. A simple vocabulary is provided by a placing facets into classes, and two such classes are proposed: one relating to the presentation of years, and one for the rest of the date. Two new facets are proposed to serve as the defaults for these classes. It is shows how facets can be used to develop an abstract and extensible model for formaing dates, thereby allowing applications to beer handle unfamilar calendars. Two further classes and associated default facets are introduced to describe remaining aspects of formaing, and formal defi- nitions are given for the four facets proposed in this paper. Aer several further examples of this framework in use, it is noted that a major use of facets will be to specify year numbering schemes that count from a different epoch.

    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. introduction • n may 13, 1607, twenty-seven-year- old Captain John Smith, leading Othe Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery, made landfall in Jamestown, Virginia. The London Company, sponsors of the voyage, had been granted a charter by King James I of England to establish a colony in the part of America called Virginia. To foster its development, James ex­ empted the company from all taxes for seven years on all goods, chattel, ar­ mor, munitions, and furniture exported from England to the colony. A second charter of 1609 exempted the company’s employees and agents from all customs and taxes in Virginia for twenty- one years. One hundred sixty-eight years later, the shots heard round the world at Lexington and Concord signaled the start of the American Revolution. Th e colonists had resisted more than a decade of impositions by Parliament—the Revenue (Sugar) Act of 1764, the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Acts of 1767, and perhaps most famous of all, the Tea Act of 1773, which prompted the Boston Tea Party. From the founding to the Revolution, taxes were up­ permost among the concerns of the colonists. Colonial politics were gov­ erned more by disputes over taxes and how they would be spent than all other matters, such as freedom of conscience, French threats on the frontier, and security of land titles. This book is the story of taxation imposed from outside, and levied in­ side, on colonial Americans.

That happened for a number of reasons. Among them, there was the success of the Counter-reformation over Protestantism and Orthodoxy in Belarus and Lithuania. After 1667 Catholicism became the sign of political loyalty to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. As a result, step by step the ruthenian nobility and the upper class of townspeople of Orthodox and Protestant faiths adopted Polish religious and cultural identity under the formula ‘gente ruthenus, natione polonus.’ Very little has been written about the ethnic ruthenian nobility of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, especially its Protestant group.
