I render to Caesar what is Caesars.

I missed a couple birthdays of friends because my mind isn’t on the worlds’ calendar.

My birthday was just a work day on our heavenly father’s calendar.. not set apart or anything.. I do have a Gregorian that I write over.. It has helped me realize how far off the world has become. (And up till two years ago, I was right with them !)

And it is interesting to me that we can know the birthdays of all of us, our leaders, famous people and yet have to guess what day the Savior was born on.

Scripture gives us His Birthday in revelation 12 but because of the earth’s wobble, His birth date that fell under a particular heavenly sign has moved in 2000 years.

The day is still the same though- the first day of the 6th month of His month - a new moon day in scripture which is one of the appointed times He gave Israel.

I actually had to ask someone what today to them was so I could write in on the check I had to deposit.
I would love to be able to put down the date that He has but the world would look at that banking instrument and may not know what to do with it since there are rules we must all abide by if we use a bank.

I don’t worry about the year..
Today is the 11th day of His month and the 3rd day of His week.
I can read scripture and not find any discrepancy with that counting. He numbers His days.. and Ezekiel 46 gives us the plainest ‘template’ to use..

That template is found in the Old Testament.
It is found in the New Testament.
It is found, with study, in the major life events of our Savior..

His major life events hit either a new moon day, sabbath or feast.
Birth, circumcision, dedication in the temple, baptism, death, burial resurrection.
All on either a new moon, weekly sabbath or feast.

And the bride can know it all.

And if we can know he hit on each of those perfectly, we can see what He hasn’t hit on yet and be prepared for His coming..

I can read Genesis and know what He created on His third day and think about it and thank Him all day..

Or can give Thor his day like the world does..

It is certainly a narrower path.. the world would look at me weird.. without Him, I wouldn’t be able to walk it.. and I don’t mind being called weird..

But it has led me to real Truth and studying real Genuine truth is the perfect antidote for spotting counterfeits, errors, lies..

I wouldn’t know what a counterfeit $20 bill would look like... my guess is it looks more like a genuine $20 than monopoly money..

Sometimes I have seen cashiers hold the money up to light.. and that is exactly what we can do.
