G-d's calendar: 5th day, 1st month, year 5771

Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy descendants may live:

Matthew 22:14
For many are called, but few are chosen.

So often we view the Hebrew Scriptures [Old Testament] as a journal of the mandates handed down from G-d. But we see here, that He gave His people an option even after He'd taken care of them in the wilderness, promised to defeat their enemies in the Promised Land, and had given all the Instructions for a successful, prosperous life that will work for any people that make the same choice Joshua did. Y'hshuwah clarified it further in this simple statement. The offer is extended to many, but still few make the choice.
