Happy New Year 2017 - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duoMr5Mogt0 Transcript: (00:01) happy New Year isn't that what today is January the 1st 2017 today is the day when everything is supposed to be new including that gunshot I just heard in the background anyway it's a new day and uh you would expect that when you walked outside of your home that you would see newness you would see newness of life you would see a fresh start a beauty Beautiful Beginning of the next cycle but this is my backyard here in the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and this is what it looks like I walked outside and behold everything's dead trees are dead all the (00:47) leaves are dead the grass is dead looked around for one flower couldn't find one listening for the chirping of the birds don't hear them looking for new life it's nowhere to be seen but yet today is the New Year in the dead of winter absurdity is what you begin to understand that to be when you come to know the truth now a lot of people you know they think we've we've lost our minds and maybe we have whenever we come against what I call the lies of the modern world today is a dead day day we are still in the middle of winter everything (01:33) is still dead and nothing is new just because we say it's new don't make it new but in about 3 months from now you will walk outside of your door in this backyard and you won't be able to see the tree trunks or the branches because they'll be loaded down with new life they'll be loaded down with fruits and berries and and the grass will be growing so fast you can't mow it fast enough and you'll hear the chirping of the springtime Birds and the running of the uh Equinox rabbit everything will be beautiful and it will truly be new now (02:13) if you were God Yahweh and you were going to set a r a rhythm a metronome have you ever seen the metronome where they pull the little ball back and release it and it starts clicking and perfect time that is what Yahweh did he set the metronome he set the clock and the New Year perfectly there's a reason that he had to set the New Year perfectly because all of his holy festivals must be counted from the new year so Satan in all of his scheming and cunningness has created an a parallel universe and started a new year (03:02) completely opposite of when Yahweh starts his so today if today is the new year then ladies and gentlemen Passover begins 14 days from today that would have us celebrating our Lord's Passover January the 14th completely out of sink completely out of rhythm with the timing of his death and the timing that we are to remember his death so if Satan can mess the New Year up he messes the intire economy of Israel which is the church up now the reason that God set the New Year in the end of March the beginning of April is because the Earth is new at (03:53) that time and then we can count the Passover then we can count the unleavened bread we can count first fruit we can count uh trumpets we can count atonement we can count Feast of Tabernacles and we can count the last great day if we get the new year right so of course Satan wants us to get the New Year wrong many good people I celebrated today as New Year's for 40 years because the world taught me that I learned under the Babylonian system I was taught that and that's the day we celebrated but last night if we had gone (04:31) out and celebrated today as the New Year wouldn't we have been celebrating a lie no truth in it wouldn't we have been celebrating a complete dichotomy to the truth so I ask you if you know it's a lie and you you can see it in Exodus 12 1 and 2 when the beginning of the months are the beginning of the year is in the month of ab which is spring it right after the Spring Equinox if you know that and you and Yahweh says this is my new year but yet you go and you celebrate a different New Year are you in syn or out of SN (05:18) with God himself we believe you would be out of SN and we think that Israel which is God's holy church his Ecclesia his Cal his congregation are in this world we are in this system created by Babylon we're here we're slaves here if you will strangers passing through so yes last night became 2017 according to their calendar but we cannot and we cannot change that we cannot fight that system we live in it but here's what we can do we can save our fireworks we can save our hats and our glasses and we can save all of our (06:04) celebration our blackeyed peas and our cabbage and bring them all out on the day that God our God the god of Israel said this is the day that's the new year see that separates you from the world that you know we used to think separation from the world meant haird and and and skirt lines and and and sleeve lengths and the whole time still doing what the world was doing in our daily activities so today I want to tell those of you that do not know any better this is not the new year and another thing I wanted to address there was a (06:45) reason that Satan set the New Year the way he did I watched everyone's timelines on Facebook and it's every year it's the same thing every single year this year was horrible next year is going to be better it's like if they can hear the Striking of midnight on January the 1st 2017 18 then all of a sudden their luck changes and all of a sudden their future changes because their faith is in the changing of a Time rather than in a faithful God that blesses me every day every year he's faithful he's never out of Mercy (07:30) he's a good God whether it's 2016 17 or 18 tomorrow is not going to be any better than today today is no worse than tomorrow the Bible said that the days of man are short and they're full of trouble doesn't matter if you got a new year or an old year you're going to have trouble but here's what else the word of God says that though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death I'll be with you if it's the new year the old year it doesn't matter the fa our faith is not in a New Year our faith is not in the changing of a clock or time our (08:08) faith is in an Ever faithful God his name is Yahweh and we trust that every day that we obey his Commandments We Will Walk In His blessings trouble yes but peace in the midst of that trouble so if we're not careful we turn New Year's Day into a god itself our faith is in the new year I want to tell you tomorrow trouble's coming the next day trouble's coming but if you're walking with God in Covenant in obedience to his commands blessings will overtake the trouble so brothers and sisters I hope that you understand (08:47) now we've not lost our minds we don't want to be different we're forced to be different forced by what the word of God we celebrate the new year this coming year on March the 21st and we're going to have a big service and celebration and all of Israel is invited to come and celebrate with us today I just want to encourage you get ready the Passover of Our Lord we've got to get through marra and Valentine's Day after that all the Pagan festivals are over except for Mayday the May pole and then all of God's holy festivals begin in the (09:32) light seven months of the year in the first seven months that number seven right we have seven festivals and my my my God bless you have a wonderful day

Summary

This teaching contrasts the modern January 1st New Year celebration with the biblical calendar established in Exodus 12. Using imagery from winter and spring, the sermon argues that Yahweh’s true New Year begins with visible renewal in creation during the spring season. The message calls believers to reject Babylonian calendar traditions, align with Yahweh’s feast system, and place their faith in covenant obedience rather than cultural customs.
