Constantine was a “Gnostic” who did not believe in the deity of our Messiah. He secretly worshiped the pagan sun deity named Mithra, and he thought that the true Messiah of Yisra’el named Yahuwshuwa was just one of many reincarnations of the sun-god from Babylon. This is why he had no problem replacing all of the set-apart Feast Days of The Most High outlined in Leviticus 23 with the same pagan days that were kept in honor of Nimrod and the sun deities.

Instead of destroying the heathen temples and idols as The Most High commands us to do, Constantine simply recycled the pagan statues, naming them after “Christian” saints. The statue of the mythological god Neptune for instance was renamed “Saint Peter” the statue of Venus was re-named “The Virgin Mary” and the statue of Sol (Mithra) was renamed “Jesus Christ.”----“Constantine” by Ramsey Mac Mullen, published by Dial Press, Crosscurrents in World History Series, New York, 1969, Pg. 72

After this infamous vision of the pagan cross (the ankh), Constantine sprinkled his troops in baptism, requiring no repentance for sin, no conversion, no faith in Yahuwshuwa as the Messiah or his finished work on the Taw (cross). These brutish men instantly became “Christians” according to Constantine. He then made infant baptism (which is completely unbiblical) mandatory for Roman citizenship which precluded people from ever having a genuine conversion to faith in Messiah. They concluded that all they needed was to be sprinkled as an infant with water, and they were automatically “Christians.” Under the guise of Christianity, Constantine and his troops then conquered the city of Rome and took over the Roman government in 312 A.D. In 313 A.D., Constantine then issued “a decree of tolerance” known as “The Edict of Milan” giving total religious freedom to Christians.

This seemed like a major victory for Christians, since they would no longer have to be tortured for their faith in Messiah. Yet Satan was using this political move to start a new religion called “Roman Catholicism.” The word“Catholic” means “universal” in Greek and this means that Satan has always intended for this religion to take over the world, and become a “One World Church.” From its very foundations, world domination was the motivation behind Roman Catholicism. In June of 2000, the New World Order established a “One World Church” naming the Roman Catholic Church the “Mother” of the “One World Church” and Pope John Paul II was elected as the“leader” of the “United Religions:”

In 325 A.D. Constantine set up “The Council of Nicaea” and he became “Summus Pontifex” (the official title of a Pope).----Religious Encyclopedia, Schaff-Herzog, published by Baker Book House, 1967; The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop, and Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, by Chiniquy.

Constantine’s Creed

At the first Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D., the Roman Emperor Constantine form-

ed the first “Ecumenical Council” of the Catholic Church. At this council it was decided that the celebration of the “Jewish Passover” would be replaced with the resurrection of the pagan goddess of fertility known as “Easter.” Here is what this creed declared:

“I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads and sacrifices of lambs of the Hebrews, and all the other feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspirations, purifications, sanctifications, and propitiations, and fasts and new moons, and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and hymns and chants, and observances and synagogues---absolutely everything Jewish, every Law, rite and custom and if afterwards I shall wish to deny and return to Jewish superstition, or shall be found eating with Jews, or feasting with them, or secretly conversing and condemning the Christian religion instead of openly confuting them and condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Cain and the leprosy of Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal punishments to which I acknowledge myself liable….

…And may I be an anathema in the world to come, and may my soul be set down with Satan and the devils.” (Stefano Assemani, Acta Sanctorium Martyrum Orientalium at Occidentalium, Vol. 1, Rome 1748, page 105).

Furthermore, any follower of the “Jewish Messiah” named Yahuwshuwa ha’Mashiyach who wished to join this so-called “holy community” was compelled to adopt a different set of rules and customs. Subsequently special creeds were drafted, to which the Christian would have to swear by:

“I accept all customs, rites, legalism, and feasts of the Romans, sacrifices. Prayers, purifications with water, sanctifications by Pontificus Maxmus (high priests of Rome), propitiations, and feasts, and the New Sabbath “Sol dei” (day of the Sun), all new chants and observances, and all the foods and drinks of the Romans (Pork and all unclean foods). In other words, I absolutely accept everything Roman, every new law, rite and custom, of Rome, and the New Roman Religion.”

Additionally, in approximately 365 A.D, the Imperial Church of ROME, aka Catholic Council of Laodicea wrote, in one of their canons:

“Christians must not Judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day. Rather, honoring the Lord’s Day (Ba’al’s Day) which is “Sun-day” for Sol Invictus (the invincible sun). But if any shall be found to be Judaizers, let them be anathema (against) Christ.”

Medieval Sourcebook: Constantine I: On the Keeping of Easter

ON THE KEEPING OF EASTER

From the Letter of the Emperor to all those not present at the Council.---Found in Eusebius, Vita Const., Lib. iii., 18-20.

“...When the question relative to the sacred festival of Easter arose, it was universally thought that it would be convenient that all should keep the feast on one day; for what could be more beautiful and more desirable, than to see this festival, through which we receive the hope of immortality, celebrated by all with one accord, and in the same manner? It was declared to be particularly unworthy for this, the holiest of all festivals, to follow the custom [the calculation] of the Jews, who had soiled their hands with the most fearful of crimes, and whose minds were blinded. In rejecting their custom, we may transmit to our descendants the legitimate mode of celebrating Easter, which we have observed from the time of the Saviour’s Passion to the present day [according to the day of the week].

We ought not, therefore, to have anything in common with the Jews, for the Saviour has shown us another way; our worship follows a more legitimate and more convenient course (the order of the days of the week); and consequently, in unanimously adopting this mode, we desire, dearest brethren, to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews, for it is truly shameful for us to hear them boast that without their direction we could not keep this feast. How can they be in the right, they who, after the death of the Saviour, have no longer been led by reason but by wild violence, as their delusion may urge them? They do not possess the truth in this Easter question; for, in their blindness and repugnance to all improvements, they frequently celebrate two Passovers in the same year. We could not imitate those who are openly in error. How, then, could we follow these Jews, who are most certainly blinded by error? For to celebrate the Passover twice in one year is totally inadmissible.

But even if this were not so, it would still be your duty not to tarnish your soul by communications with such wicked people [the Jews]. Besides, consider well, that in such an important matter, and on a subject of such great solemnity, there ought not to be any division. Our Saviour has left us only one festal day of our redemption, that is to say, of his holy passion, and he desired [to establish] only one Catholic Church. Think, then, how unseemly it is, that on the same day some should be fasting whilst others are seated at a banquet; and that after Easter, some should be rejoicing at feasts, whilst others are still observing a strict fast.

For this reason, a Divine Providence wills that this custom should be rectified and regulated in a uniform way; and everyone, I hope, will agree upon this point. As, on the one hand, it is our duty not to have anything in common with the murderers of our Lord; and as, on the other, the custom now followed by the Churches of the West, of the South, and of the North, and by some of those of the East, is the most acceptable, it has appeared good to all; and I have been guarantee for your consent, that you would accept it with joy, as it is followed at Rome, in Africa, in all Italy, Egypt, Spain, Gaul, Britain, Libya, in all Achaia, and in the dioceses of Asia, of Pontus, and Cilicia. You should consider not only that the number of churches in these provinces make a majority, but also that it is right to demand what our reason approves, and that we should have nothing in common with the Jews. To sum up in few words: By the unanimous judgment of all, it has been decided that the most holy festival of Easter should be everywhere celebrated on one and the same day...”

In approximately 365 AD, the Council of Laodicea wrote, in one of their canons:

“Christians must not Judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day. Rather, honoring the Lord’s Day. But if any shall be found to be Judaizers, let them be anathema (against) from Christ.”

In 164 B.C. Antiochus Epiphanies, a Greek-Syrian dictator set up an image of Zeus on December 25th in the 2nd Jewish Temple and he forced the followers of The Most High to eat unclean animals, and to break the commandments of The Most High. He also forced the Yahuwdiy (Jews) to bow to this image of Zeus and to worship on pagan holidays instead of on the feasts that were set apart by The Most High in Leviticus 23.

This was the very same “Abomination of Desolation” spoken of in the 11th chapter of Daniel and Matthew 24:15. This prophecy was repeated again in Rome when Constantine set up images of pagan deities in the Christian Churches and he commit-ted the very same abominations as Antiochus had done. This prophecy will be repeated yet a third time in history in the last days with the final “man of sin.” Antiochus Epiphanies was also one of the many historical Anti-Messiahs (Antichrists) whose given name “Epiphanies” adds up to 666 in the Greek alpha-numberic system.

These were the new laws that Antiochus set up:

You shall profane the Sabbath.

You shall change the set times (festivals) and laws.

You shall set up idols.

You shall eat unclean animals.

You shall not circumcise.

You shall forget Towrah.

The persecutions began in 167 B.C. in the days of Antiochus, but 3.5 years later, the Temple was taken back and rededicated in 164 B.C. This became known as “The Feast of Dedication” (Chanukkah) which our Messiah observed in John 10:22.

These laws created by an Antichrist leader named Antiochus are the very same laws that Constantine would later repeat and this is what the entire Christian world is living by today!

Most of the Christian world is following men like Antiochus Ephiphanies and Constantine of Rome in their practices and they don’t even realize it! Both of these men were Antichrists of history who killed the true servants of Yah and forced them to disobey the commandments!

But what did our Messiah reveal about worshiping the Heavenly Father in the same manner as do the Jews or the Yahuwdiy?

Yahuwchanon (John) 4:22 You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Yahuwdiy (Jews).

Now did he mean that we should all join a local Jewish Synagogue and follow the Jews who do not accept Yahuwshuwa as their Messiah? Of course not! He made a distinction between the Yahuwdiy (Jews) who follow the Mosaic Law (Towrah) just as he did and those Jews who are of the “Synagogue of Satan” for they don’t follow the Mosiac Law at all. They instead follow the “traditions of men” (the Talmudic Law) or the Oral Traditions which often-times are against the Mosaic Law.

Listen to what our Messiah had to say about those who would call themselves Jews, but they are disobedient to the commandments:

Chazown (Revelation) 2:9 I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Yahuwdiy (Jews), and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Chazown (Revelation) 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Yahuwdiy (Jews), and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

Who is he talking about in these verses above? He is referring to those who have departed from keeping the Towrah (Mosiac Law) and they instead have replaced the commandments of The Most High with their own traditions.

In the days when our Messiah was sacrificed for us, the High Priest named Caiaphas was not a legitimate High Priest from the Levites, but he was an Edomite pretending to be a Jew in order to sway the true Yahuwdiy (Jews) from their creator and his commandments. Caiaphas was actually appointed by Rome, and King Herod was not a legitimate King of Judah, but he was a Phoenician--the same city where Queen Jezebel came from. These were not legitimate Jews who were ruling Jerusalem in the days when our Messiah walked the earth. Listen to what he said to these false Jews in his day:

Marqos (Mark) 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well you reject the commandment of Elohiym, that you may keep your own tradition.

A true Yahuwdiy (Jew) will teach obedience to the commandments or the Towrah of Mosheh. But a false Jew does exactly what the Roman Catholic Church does by replacing the commandments of The Most High with the TRADITIONS OF MEN!

Listen to the prophecy that Ya’aqob (Jacob) spoke over his son named Yahuwdah (Judah):

Bereshiyth (Genesis) 49:

8 Yahuwdah (Judah), you are he whom your brethren shall praise: your hand shall be in the neck of your enemies; your father’s children shall bow down before you.

9 Yahuwdah (Judah) is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, you are gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?

10 The sceptre shall not depart from Yahuwdah (Judah), nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

As you can see from the above prophecy, the House of Judah (the true Jews) are charged with gathering the people in the last days to the Messiah. The Hebrew word “Shiloh” means “he whose it is” or “that which belongs to him.” This word is an allusion to the Messianic Kingdom when our Messiah returns. This means that the true Jews will be those who belong to the Messiah, and they will gather the lost sheep of the House of Yisra’el to the Messiah.

The Apostle Sha’uwl (Paul) explained the importance of the role of the Yahuwdiy (Jews):

Romiym (Romans) 3:

1 What advantage then has the Yahuwdiy (Jew)? or what profit is there of circumcision?

2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of Elohiym.

And then finally we have an end-time prophecy where we read that Ten Gentiles from the nations will grab the “kanaph” (four corners of the garment) of him who is a Yahuwdiy (Jew) and they will follow him:

Zekaryahuw (Zechariah) 8:23 Thus says The Most High of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt (kanaph) of him that is a Yahuwdiy (Jew), saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that Elohiym is with you.

What is a “kanaph?” The Hebrew word for “skirt” in Zechariah 8:23 above is this word #H3671 which is “kanaph” and it means “a wing or corner of the garment.” The children of Yisra’el are commanded to wear fringes or “Tziytzit” on the four corners of their garments to remind them to obey the Towrah (see Numbers 15:38 & Deuteronomy 22:12).

But who is a real Yahuwdiy (Jew) according to scripture?

Romiym (Romans) 2:

25 For circumcision verily profits, if you keep the Towrah (law): but if you be a breaker of the Towrah (law), your circumcision is made uncircumcision.

26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keeps the righteousness of the Towrah (law), shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Towrah (law), judge you, who by the letter and circumcision does transgress the Towrah (law)?

28 For he is not a Yahuwdiy (Jew), which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 But he is a Yahuwdiy (Jew), which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of Elohiym.

The Apostle Sha’uwl made a distinction here between a real Jew and a false Jew. In the end it is not going to be about DNA, belonging to a religion or “endless genealogies.” Those who will be counted as Yahuwdiy or Jews by our Creator are those who “keep the commandments and have the testimony of Yahuwshuwa ha’Mashiyach” (Revelation 12:17).

Those who sojourn with the Lion of Yahuwdah (Judah), have joined his tribe and they are become Yahuwdiy (Jews) according to Ezekiel 47:22-23. Any stranger who wanted to “sojourn with an Yisra’elite tribe,” would then be grafted into that tribe and he would be counted as “native-born of the children of Yisra’el.” And so becoming a Yahuwdiy (Jew) is not about joining a man-made religion with extra man-made rules and regulations. Becoming a Jew is all about following the Yahuwdiyth (Jewish) Messiah and obeying his Towrah!

Therefore, Constantine’s Creed taught to the Christian Churches is proven to be a fraud!

The true faith of our Messiah is to receive forgiveness of our sins through his blood (justification) and to receive the indwelling of the Ruwach ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit) who then teaches us to obey the very same commandments that he did (sanctification)!

Anyone who teaches you something different is preaching a false Besowrah (Gospel) and a false Messiah! Easter Sunday is NOT the resurrection of the true Messiah of Yisra’el. Easter is the name of the pagan goddess of fertility from Babylon and we are commanded to “Come out of Mystery Babylon the Great the Mother of Harlots” (Revelation 18:4).
