New Year Celebration Origin
In Isaiah’s day, many Israelites were following pagan
customs. For example, on the last day of the year, people gathered around a
table spread with a variety of tasty foods and sweet wine. This was no simple
family get-together. It was a religious ceremony that honored two pagan deities.
The prophet Isaiah recorded God’s view of this
unfaithfulness: “You men are those leaving LORD Jehovah,
those forgetting my holy mountain, those setting in order a table for the god
of Good Luck and those filling up mixed wine for the god of Destiny.” (Isa. 65:11)
They believed that the year’s harvest depended, not on
having Jehovah’s blessing, but on appeasing “the god of Good Luck” Fortune
and “the god of Destiny.”
In reality, though, their unwise choice brought destruction upon them,
and
the gods of Destiny
and Good Luck were powerless to prevent it.Open LORD, Fortune,
Destiny
in
Isa 65:11
"But
you who forsake the LORD, Who forget My holy mountain, Who set a table for Fortune, And who fill cups with mixed wine for Destiny,
Isa 65:12
I will destine you for
the sword, And all of you will bow down to the slaughter. Because I called, but you
did not answer; I spoke, but you did
not hear. And you did evil in My sight And chose that in which I did not delight."

8 However at that time, when R165
you did not know God, you were slaves R166
to those R167
which by nature are no gods. 9
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known R168
by God, how R169
is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental R170
F77
things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? 10
You observe R171
days and months and seasons and years. 11
I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over F78
you in vain.
For
all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life,
is not from the Father, but is from the world. 1 Jn 2:16
Do Not Love the World
15 Do not love the R72 world nor the things in the world. If R73 anyone loves the world, the love
of the Father is not in him. 16
For all that is in the world, the R74 lust of the flesh and the R75 lust of the eyes and the R76 boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the
world. 17
The R77 world is passing away, and also
its lusts; but the one who does R78 the will of God lives forever.
18 Children, it R79 is the last hour; and just as you
heard that antichrist R80 is coming, even R81 now many antichrists have
appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. 19
They R82 went out from us, but they were
not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained
with us; but they went out, so R83 that it F4 would be shown that they all are
not of us. 20
But F5 you have an anointing R84 from the R85 Holy One, and you R86 all know. 21
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because R87 you do know it, and because F6 no lie is of R88 the truth. 22
Who is the liar but the R89 one who denies that Jesus is the Christ?
F7 This is the R90 antichrist, the one who denies the
Father and the Son. 23
Whoever R91 denies the Son does not have the
Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 24
As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from R92 the beginning. If what you heard
from the beginning abides in you, you also will R93 abide in the Son and in the
Father.
The Promise Is Eternal Life
25 This R94 is the promise which He Himself
made F8 to us: eternal life.

unto them which by nature are no gods. 9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are
known of God, how turn ye again F7 to the weak and beggarly
elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and
months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I
have bestowed upon you labour in vain. |

Sonship in Christ 1 Now I
say, as long as the heir is a child, F70 he does not
differ at all from a slave although he is owner F71 of everything, 2 but
he is under guardians and managers F72 until the date
set by the father. 3 So
also we, while we were children, were held in R156 bondage under
the elemental R157 F73 things of the
world. 4 But
when the R158 fullness of
the time came, God sent forth His Son, born R159 of a woman,
born under R160 the F74 Law, 5 so
that He might redeem those who were under the F75 Law, that we
might receive the adoption as sons. R161 6
Because you are sons, God R162 has sent forth
the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! R163 Father!" 7
Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if R164 a son, then an
heir through F76 God. 8 However at that time, when R165
you did not know God, you were slaves R166
to those R167
which by nature are no gods. 9
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known R168
by God, how R169
is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental R170
F77
things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? 10
You observe R171
days and months and seasons and years. 11
I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over F78
you in vain. 12 I beg of you, brethren, R172 become R173 as I am, for I also have
become as you are. You have done me no wrong; 13
but you know that it was because of a bodily F79 illness that I preached the
gospel to you the first F80 time; 14
and that which was a trial F81 to you in my bodily F82 condition you did not despise or
loathe, F83 but you R174 received me as an angel of God,
as Christ R175 Jesus Himself. 15
Where then is that F84 sense of blessing you had? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have
plucked out your eyes and given them to me. 16
So have I become your enemy by R176 telling F85 you the truth? 17
They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that
you will seek them. 18
But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, F86 and not R177 only when I am present with
you. 19
My R178 children, with whom I R179 am again in labor until Christ R180 is formed in you-- 20
but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I R181 am perplexed about you. Bond and Free 21 Tell me, you who want to
be under law, do you not listen R182 to the law? 22
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one R183 by the bondwoman and one R184 by the free woman. 23
But the R185 son by the bondwoman was F87 born according to the flesh, and
the R186 son by the free woman through
the promise. 24
This R187 F88 is allegorically speaking, for
these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount R188 Sinai bearing children who F89 are to be slaves; R189 she F90 is Hagar. 25
Now this Hagar is |
