September 2018 Events



In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 
and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. 
Through Him all things were made, 
and without Him nothing was made that has been made. 
In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. 
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:1-5

Current news with biblical connections:

The Month of EthanimWe can view this holy month as the month in which two foundations were laid: the foundations of the earth, and of Messiah’s assembly.
https://ffoz.org/discover/messianic-jewish-calendar/the-month-of-ethanim.html

This word ethanim, or eitanim, appears in Exodus 14:27, Amos 5:24, and Psalm 74:15. However, it does not only refer to rivers and streams. In and of itself the word means “strong” and “durable,” as in something that is eternal and indestructible. Even though it is most commonly used in reference to waters, the prophets also use it in reference to the foundations of the earth. See Micah 6:2. Job also uses it when speaking of strong and important people (Job 12:19).
eitanim can mean “ever-flowing streams,” “enduring,” “strong,” “everlasting,” and so on.

Sukkot / Feast of Tabernacles - Shemini Atzeret 8th Day Solemn Assembly
Month 7 – Ethanim/Tishri 22 - October 1/2, 2018
Leviticus 23:36B, Numbers 29:35 - http://torahcalendar.com/Calendar.asp?YM=Y2018M7
Today is Shemini Atzeret or the "Eighth Day Solemn Assembly." Shemini Atzeret is a Sabbath day separate and distinct from Sukkot. It is an appointed time the day after Sukkot on which Israel assembles. One tradition says Jacob married Rachel on this day.
Last Great Day of the Feast

John 7:37
 In the last day, that great day of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.


John 7:37 Commentary

Song – Rivers of Living Waters
Inspired by John 7:37 and composed by Ross Jutsum
