 Psalms 7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. H8267
  

The Torah testifies...............
 *****
 
The prophets proclaim..................  
 2 Samuel 18:13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood H8267 against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.

The writings bear witness...........................
 Psalm 144:8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. H8267

Jeremiah 51:17 Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, H8267 and there is no breath in them.



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).

Weekend Meditation--Whose Resurrection Are You Celebrating??!!!!! PART 3

​2 Thessalonians chapter 2

We are walking in today: Weekend Meditation--Whose Resurrection Are You Celebrating??!!!!! PART 3

Witness remain throughout the Bible: H5975 `amad-- take a stand, present oneself, attend upon, be or become servant of; continue, abide, endure, persist, be steadfast--remain

Obadiah 1:14 Neither shouldest thou have stood H5975 in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.

The Torah testifies...............
*****

The prophets proclaim..................
Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain H5975 before me, saith
the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. H5975

Daniel 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood H5975 me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael,
one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Daniel 10:17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there
remained H5975 no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.

The writings bear witness...........................
Ecclesiastics 2:9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained H5975 with me.

Haggai 2:5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth H5975 among you: fear ye not!!


Semiramis, (the wife and mother of Nimrod) who was also called Venus in Rome, has a day of the week named after her. That day in Italian or Latin is called “Venerdi.” This word “Venerdi” is where we get the word “venerate” which means “to worship.” In the 3rd Century, Constantine renamed all the statues of Venus “The Virgin Mary.”

Hence, “Friday” is meant to signify her participation with the crucifixion of our Messiah! This is the true meaning behind “Good Friday!” This is why the Roman Catholic Church has taken great pains to try and convince the world that our Messiah did not fulfill the “sign of Jonah” according to Matthew 12:40 where he said that he would be“three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” When we count 72 hours (6 X 12-hour periods of day and night) from Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. (the ninth hour of the day) when he died, we come to Saturday evening just as the Sabbath was about the end! This is when our Messiah actually resurrected---not on Fri-day which would place him in the heart of the earth for only 1 ½ days!​​

Mary Declared the Co-Redeemer of Salvation
[Note: Catholic Catechism = The Catechism of the Catholic Church commonly called the Catechism or the CCC is a catechism made widely known for the Catholic Church by Pope John Paul II in 1992.[It sums up, in book form, the beliefs of the Catholic faithful.]

Catholic Catechism Pg. 252 #969 “Taken up into heaven she (Mary) did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation…”

Catholic Catechism Pg. 125 #494 “Being obedient she (Mary) became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race.”

Catholic Catechism Pg. 125 #494 “She (Mary) is inseparably linked with the saving work of her Son.”

In his general audience address of April 9, 1997, Pope John Paul II said:
“Mary …co-operated during the event itself of the crucifixion and in the role of mother; thus her co-operation embraces the whole of Christ’s saving work. She alone was associated in this way with the redemptive sacrifice of that merited the salvation of all mankind. In union with Christ and submission to Him, she collaborated in obtaining the grace of salvation for all humanity…In God’s plan, Mary is the ‘woman’ (Genesis 3:15), the New Eve,​​ united to New Adam in restoring humanity to its original dignity. Her cooperation with her Son continues for all time in the universal motherhood which she enjoys in the order of grace. Trusting in this maternal cooperation, let us turn to Mary, imploring her help in all of our needs” (Vatican Information Service).

The reason why this idea of Mary being the “New Eve” is so blasphemous is because in the original religion of Babylon, Semiramis married her own son, Nimrod and today, Roman Catholicism falsely teaches that “Mary is the Holy Spirit” thus making her the wife of our Messiah!

While it is true that Yahuwshuwa (Jesus) is called “the last Adam” (1st Corinthians 15:45) since he redeemed us from the curse of sin, the Most High calls Yisra’el his “wife” (Jeremiah 3:15). Catholic’s giving Mary the title “New Eve” implies that “Mary and Jesus are united in marriage” just as Adam and Eve and just like Semiramis & Nimrod! While it is true that every born-again believer is part of the corporate body of Messiah, this is not the same concept of calling the earthly mother of our Messiah his wife! Catholic doctrine even admits to this blasphemy by falsely teaching that “the Holy Spirit is her spouse.”

In 1985, in Guayaquil, Equador, Pope John Paul II gave this speech:
“…at Calvary she united herself with the sacrifice of her son that led to the foundation of the church; her maternal heart shared to the very depths of the will of Christ ‘to gather into one all the dispersed children of God’. Having suffered for the Church, Mary deserved to become the Mother of all the disciples of her Son, the Mother of their unity…In fact Mary’s role as Coredemptrix did not cease with the glorification of her Son” (Inside the Vatican, July 1997, p.23).
[Note: Co-Redemptrix is a title used by some Roman Catholics for the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as a Catholic theological concept referring to Mary's role in the redemption of all peoples. It has always been controversial and has never formed part of the dogma of the Church.]
In the mid 1960’s Vatican Council II gave Mary the titles of Co-Redeemer, Mediator, Advocate (Vatican II Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap.8 II, 56, pp.380-383).

#969 ... “Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation .... Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix.”
[Note Mediatrix refers to the intercessory role of the Blessed Virgin Mary as a mediator in the salvific redemption by her son Jesus Christ, and that he bestows graces through her.]

AD CATHOLICI SACERDOTII (On the Catholic Priesthood), promulgated on 20 December 1935.

“Mary has been elevated in Roman Catholic teaching to a Mediatrix of Salvation, interposing her between Christ and mankind.”

But scripture clearly tells us that there is only “one mediator” between the Most High and mankind:

1st Timotiyos (Timothy) 2:5 For there is one Elohiym, and one mediator between Elohiym and men, the man Mashiyach (Messiah) Yahuwshuwa.

1st Yahuwchanon (John) 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Yahuwshuwa Mashiyach the righteous.

Ibriym (Hebrews) 8:6 But now has (Yahuwshuwa) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

Ibriym (Hebrews) 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Tehilliym (Psalm) 54:4 Behold, Elohiym is my helper: the Most High is with them that uphold my soul.

Ibriym (Hebrews) 13:6 So that we may boldly say, the Most High is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

As you can see, the word of the Most High declares that Yahuwshuwa ha’Mashiyach alone is our mediator, helper, and advocate!

Now certainly, we can understand that as his mother, she would’ve suffered and would have been grief-stricken over watching her son be tortured to death. But never-the-less, the idea of calling her a “co-mediator” is idolatry, and blasphemy. This treats her as a “goddess” worthy of worship instead the mortal human being that she was.

The Roman Catholic Church has conferred the pagan goddess Easter’s title onto Mary (Miryam) the mother of our Messiah, Yahuwshuwa. Today they call her, “Mary Queen of Heaven,” just like the pagan deity that the Most High condemned in Jeremiah 7 & 44! Wow! What an affront to the mother of our Messiah—the real Miryam!

Of course, we know that this is not the REAL Miryam described in the scriptures. The Roman Catholic Church not only presents to us a false Messiah or “Another Yahuwshuwa,” but they also present “Another Miryam!”

Semiramis, (Nimrod’s mother), became known in other cultures as “Magna Mater,”the “Great Mother,” and she was worshiped as Mother Earth. The Sun “mated” with the Earth each spring, and the “Rites of Spring” symbolized by the “Maypole” and “Easter” came 9 moons (months) before December 25th on the birth of the winter Sun. Her Assyrian name is “Ishtar” which is where we derive the name “Easter.” The reason why people buy lilies during Easter and women don corsages of lilies and orchids to church on Easter Sunday. It is because the lily is a symbol for the goddess named Easter.

Some people dance around the maypole for “Beltane,” a satanic holiday that falls on the Witches’ Calendar on May 1st. As a child in Catholic School, the nuns would teach us to dance around this maypole with a statute of “Mary” in the center as we adorned her with a crown of flowers.

Easter, the goddess of the dawn is the universal goddess of fertility throughout history since the Tower of Babel. She began as Nimrod’s wife Semiramis, and then after the Most High scattered the nations and confused their languages at the Tower of Babel (Genesis 10-11), her image with her baby son Tammuz migrated to other nations under different names.

The Romans called her Astarte but later she was called Venus, and the Phoenicians called her Asherah. The Hebrews called her Astoroth, the consort of Ba’al. Her emblem is the flower of the lily. She is the “goddess of the dawn,” and her statue stands on a bridge in France. The French made a colossus of this image, and it now stands in New York Harbor, facing “East,” referring to the name Ishtar or Easter.

Why is she facing the East?
Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 8:16And he brought me into the inner court of the Most High’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Most High, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Most High, and their faces toward the east; and they worshiped the sun toward the east.

As you might have already figured out, this image is none other than the Statue of Liberty! The French Illuminati donated this statue to America in order to bring the spirit of Jezebel’s influence upon our nation!

The torch that she carries is the “light of Lucifer” the same “light” of Freemasonry. Why is she called “Lady Liberty?”

It is because she teaches the servants of the Most High to commit fornication with the kings of the earth (Revelation 2:20-23, Revelation 18:3). She teaches a false “LIBERTY” which says “we have freedom from keeping the Mosaic Law.” But this so-called liberty is what the Apostle Sha’uwl (Paul) called “THE MYSTERY OF LAWLESSNESS” in 2nd Thessalonians 2:7. We are not free from keeping the commandments of Elohiym. But we are free from “the law of sin and death” (the sinful nature), so that we are able through the power of the Holy Spirit to obey the Mosaic Law (Towrah) or the commandments.

The Pagan History of the Christian Church
Beginning with an occult system from ancient Babylon, Nimrod and his mother/ wife Semiramis started a religion that would spread throughout the entire world, and it would take on different names for each culture. As time passed, all over the world on March 25th (Easter) and on December 25th, (Christmas) the sun was worshiped by these various names: Tammuz, Horus, Osiris, Sol, Ba’al, Mithra etc. The chart to the left shows all the various names under which Nimrod (the pagan sun-god) was worshiped. The Vernal Equinox and the Winter Solstice were both times for having orgies, sacrificing babies, drunkenness, gluttony and merriment.

In Ancient Rome, Christmas was called “Saturnalia” for the god“Saturn” which is another name for Satan or Nimrod. At the at the Spring or Vernal Equinox the goddess of the moon and sky was also worshiped on March 25th (Easter) as infants were sacrificed in her honor. She also had different names in every culture as seen by the chart below.

In the year 96 A.D., the Apostle Yahuwchanon (John) had been exiled to the Island called Patmos, under orders from Nero Caesar. The Roman Empire was in power over the entire world at this time and Rome’s pagan religion was a form of Ba’al worship carried over from ancient Babylon and Egypt. Nero thought that he was divine “like god,” and he was jealous of the worship that people were giving to the Messiah Yahuwshuwa. He thought that their worship rightfully belonged to him, and so he ordered that those who refused to bow to him as “god” would be killed. Nero was one of the historical Anti-Messiah (Antichrist) leaders whose name also adds up to 666 in Roman alpha-numerics. Under his reign, many followers of Yahuwshuwa Messiah were slaughtered.

Nero would conduct rallies in the Coliseums where he would allow these followers of Messiah to be fed to hungry lions for entertainment. But this only convicted the spectators as they were moved by the Holy Spirit when they saw these believers who were willing to lay down their lives for their Messiah, Yahuwshuwa.

As a result of these persecutions, many pagans were being converted to faith in Messiah. Satan’s plan to stop the true faith of Messiah wasn’t working so he attempted to bring the true faith of Messiah to an end by forming a close counterfeit that resulted in many false conversions. Satan had thus devised a diabolical plan in which he used this ancient religion from Babylon (which originated with Semiramis and Nimrod), and he gave it a new “image” to make it look like “Christianity.” It all began with Constantine, the son of a Roman Emperor.

After his father died, Constantine felt that he was the rightful heir to his father’s throne, but Maxentius was also in line to take the throne as the next Emperor of Rome. And so in 312 A.D., on October 28th at the Stone Milvian Bridge at the Tiber River, Constantine’s enemy, Maxentius and his army stood between Constantine and the throne. As Constantine and his troops were greatly outnumbered, tradition says that Constantine saw a vision of a “cross” in the sky as he heard the words “in this sign conquer.” This is an amazing discovery in light of what it says in Revelation 6:2, where we see the Anti-Messiah (Antichrist) riding a white horse as he goes forth conquering:

Chazown (Revelation) 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

The “bowed crucifix” is an allusion to Nimrod’s bow and it is meant to point to the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6:2. The same words that Constantine heard “in this sign conquer” are the same words of Revelation 6:2. This rider goes forth conquering the world through pagan religion and much blood shed of the souls of men.

The “bow” is symbolic of Nimrod who was a mighty hunter and so the “bow” is used to symbolize the Anti-Messiah as well. Constantine was also one of the many historical Anti-Messiahs because he mingled the one true faith of the Hebrew Apostles (called Nazarenes) with paganism. Thus he invented a brand new religion called “Christianity” which was a hybrid blend of the ancient Mystery Religion of Nimrod & Semiramis with the pure faith of Messiah.

As a result of this “vision” he claimed to have been converted to “Christianity.” However, the “cross” which Constantine saw in the sky was actually an Egyptian “Ankh,” which is a detestable idol to the Most High. This Egyptian “Ankh” came from the ancient Babylonian religion of Nimrod & Semiramis. The capital “T” stands for Tammuz and the upside down egg on top symbolizes the goddess of fertility.

Shema selah, what have we done?? What have we been taught? What lies are we upholding over actual scripture??? #PassoverVSeaster

Whose Resurrection Are You Celebrating?! Part 2

Jeremiah 3

We are walking in today: Whose Resurrection Are You Celebrating?! Part 2

Witness groves throughout the Bible:  H842 'asherah--groves (for idol worship); a Babylonian (Astarte)-Canaanite goddess (of fortune and happiness); the supposed consort of Baal, her images the goddess and her images sacred trees or poles set up near an altar

Exodus 34:13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: H842

The Torah testifies...............
 Deuteronomy 7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, H842 and burn their graven images with fire.

The prophets proclaim..................
 Isaiah 17:8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, H842 or the images.

The writings bear witness...........................
 Judges 3:7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves. H842

Deuteronomy 12:3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves H842 with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.


The name “Jezebel” is #H348 in the Hebrew Strong’s Concordance, and this is what it means:​ Jezebel = “Baal exalts” or “Baal is husband to” or “unchaste” wife of Ahab, daughter of Ethbaal.

Why does ​the Most High command us to break down and destroy these images? Imagine that you are married and your spouse wants to keep a framed photograph of the ex-lover on a nightstand right next to your marriage bed! How would that make you feel?

The nation of Yisra’el had entered into a “marriage covenant” with​ the Most High on Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:5-18) and he is jealous for his bride. He does not want to be reminded of the fact that Yisra’el committed spiritual adultery against him with these images of Nimrod!

The following are additional passages of scripture where we are commanded to destroy these phallic symbols, images of steeples, Christmas trees, and obelisks: Exodus 23:24, Deuteronomy 7:5, Deuteronomy 12:3, Jeremiah 43:13, Hosea 10:2.

You will also notice that obelisks are always shown jutting up into the sky. The obelisk is supposed to be Nimrod’s penis and since his mother/wife Semiramis calls herself the “goddess of the sky” (Queen of Heaven), the obelisk protruding into the sky is supposed to represent Nimrod having intercourse with her.

In addition to there being “10” warnings in the Bible against “Asherah” poles, there are also “10” warnings against worshiping Ba’al “under every green tree.” This is no coincidence, as ​the Most High has purposely allowed these warnings to come in “10’s” for the “Ten Northern Tribes of the House of Ephrayim.” These ten tribes were divorced and sent away to the Gentile nations because of their pagan holidays. Let’s take a look at these “ten” warnings against worshiping under trees.

Often-times when I show people the warning against Christmas & Easter-Egg Trees in Jeremiah 10:1-3, they will excuse it away by trying to rationalize that the warning is not against decorating trees, but rather against taking wood and carving it into an idol. But if you need more proof that ​the Most High is against using trees for worship, see the verses below:

Debariym (Deuteronomy) 12:2 You shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which You shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree.

1st Melakiym (Kings) 14:23 For they also built them high places, and images, and Asherah (groves), on every high hill, and​ ​under every green tree.

2nd Melakiym (Kings) 16:4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, andunder every green tree.

2nd Melakiym (Kings) 17:10 And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree.

2nd Dibrey ha’Yamiym (Chronicles) 28:4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 2:20 For of old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bands; and you said, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree you wandered, playing the harlot.

Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 3:6 ​The Most High said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Yisra’el has done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the harlot.

Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 3:13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against ​the Most High your Elohiym, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and You have not obeyed my voice, says ​the Most High.

Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 6:13 13 Then shall you shall you know that I am ​the Most High, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.

​Fiveamprayer do you realize that many statue​s​ that appear to be Mary holding the baby Jesus is actually Semiramis holding her baby son Nimrod or his alleged reincarnation, Tammuz​?​ This statue has been seen around the world in many different cultures under different names, but the same demon spirits are behind these statues regardless of the names given to them.

Forty Days of Weeping for Tammuz: Lent & Ash Wednesday
When Tammuz was forty years old, as he was hunting in the woods, he was killed by a wild boar (a pig). He took after his father Nimrod because he was also a “mighty hunter.” After Tammuz died, his mother Semiramis began a custom in Babylon called “Forty Days of Weeping for Tammuz” where people were commanded to fast and pray for Tammuz in the underworld. They were told that when they did this, they were exchanging one day of pleasure in this life for each year of Tammuz’s life in the underworld.

Today in the Roman Catholic Church this custom has been renamed
“Lent.” These forty days of fasting eventually would be incorporated into Roman Catholic worship, whereby the people are commanded to fast for forty days leading up to Easter Sunday. To this day, Catholics begin these forty days on what is called “Ash Wednesday.” As it was done in ancient Babylon, so it is also done today, where the ​​pagan priests of Ba’al would take ashes and place a “mark” on the foreheads of the people with a cross as he would recite a declaration about how we were “created from ashes and to ashes we shall return.”

Scripture tells us that if we belong to Messiah that we shall never see death. The Apostle Sha’uwl (Paul) explained to us in 1st Corinthians 15:50-54 that the elect shall exchange a mortal body for immortality. ​Many in the Catholic School​s​, were told that when ​they celebrated Lent, that we were commemorating the time when our Messiah fasted and prayed in the wilderness for “forty days and forty nights.”

​Many were made to believe that this is Lent was all about. The nuns made a chart on the wall as each child called out what he was giving up for forty days. Some children gave up candy or a favorite television show during those forty days. But the truth of the matter is, our Messiah fasted and prayed during the “Forty Days of Repentance” beginning in the Hebrew month of Elul (August) and culminating in the 7th Hebrew month of Tishri (usually in September or October) leading up to Yowm Kippur. The ​Hebrew people have a tradition of fasting and repenting for forty days leading up to Yowm Kippur to commemorate the same forty days when Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the second set of Ten Commandments, and this is when our Messiah fasted and prayed in the wilderness—not in the spring leading up to “Easter.”


​The Most High showed the prophet Ezekiel the abominations that the House of Yahuwdah (Judah) had been practicing and one such practice was called “weeping for Tammuz” which today is called Lent in the Catholic Church:

Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 8:13-14 “Turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of ​the Most High’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Have you seen this, O son of man?”

Today in many cultures people make “Easter Bread” or “hot crossed buns” as an offering to the Queen of Heaven. Do people realize that they are inadvertently offering up cakes to the Queen of Heaven?

Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 7:18-19 “The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? says ​the Most High: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? Therefore thus says ​the Most High Elohiym; Behold, my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place.”

​In many catholic churches you will find a crucified and wounded version of the “Catholic Mary” which sends the message loud and clear that “Good Friday” and “Easter” are false holidays secretly meant to commemorate the Queen of Heaven instead of the true Messiah!

This false deified version of Mary features nail prints in her hands because Roman Catholic doctrine claims that she participated in the crucifixion and that she also resurrected just like Yahuwshuwa!

This is why they call her the “Queen of Heaven,” just like the pagan goddess in Jeremiah 44. This is also why they pray to her, and this is why today Christians celebrate “Easter” in honor of her resurrection! Beloved, if you thought that Easter was about the resurrection of the true Messiah named Yahuwshuwa, think again!

The “Good Friday & Sunday Resurrection Myth”

The reason why the Vatican has gone to a lot of trouble to convince everyone that our Messiah resurrected on “Sun-day” morning is because they want to assimilate him to the pagan god of the “Sun.” Satan needed to find a way to convince the true followers of Messiah to worship him (Satan) unawares, and so he has set aside a special day that represents himself in all of his different aliases.

The true and genuine Messiah, Yahuwshuwa came to earth in human form during the “4th Millennium” (the middle of creation week) and he died “in the midst of the week” (Passover week on the 4th day of the week or Wednesday), and also in the “middle” of the 7,000 years since creation in the 4th Millennium. And he also died in the middle of “Daniel’s 70th Week” (in the middle of a 7-year ministry) where he worked for Rachel just as Jacob also worked for seven years for Rachel and ended up with Leah (symbolic of the Gentiles). Hence, Messiah died “in the midst of the week, within the week, within the week.”

7,000 years = Messiah died in the 4th Millennium from creation (in the midst of the week of 7 millennia).

7 years = Messiah died in the middle of a 7-year ministry of working for Rachel (like Jacob). His ministry was 3.5 years, and his “Two Witnesses” in Revelation 11 will pick up where he left off with a 3.5 year ministry (1,260 days). They will finish out the 7-year ministry of working for Rachel (symbolic of the House of Judah).

7 days = Messiah died in the middle of Passover Week on the 4th day of the week (Wednesday).

Our Messiah, Yahuwshuwa will return in the 7th Millennium from creation for his bride and this is called “The Sabbath Millennium.” In 2nd Peter 3:8 we are told that “one day is like a thousand years with ​the Most High and a thousand years is as one day.”

Hence, the 7th Day Sabbath points to our Messiah Yahuwshuwa!

The first day of the week called “Sun-day” does not point to our Messiah, because Sunday is not “The Lord’s Day” as many have falsely been taught to believe in the Church.

Shema Selah --What have we been doing Fiveamprayer?!!  Pagan worship offered to a righteous the Most High!?!?  Wake up and study scripture and find the root of that thing!!!  Cease from the abominable things!!!

Who's Resurrection Are You Celebrating???

Jeremiah 16​

We are walking in today: Who's Resurrection Are You Celebrating???

Witness queen of heaven throughout the Bible: H4446 meleketh--queen; molech, an idol of the Ammonites; occurs in passages in reference to homage paid by the women of Israel to the queen of
heaven is either the moon or Astarte or the planet Venus.
&
heaven H8064 shamayiam-- visible heavens, sky

Jeremiah 7:18 - The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen H4446 of heaven, H8064 and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger

The Torah testifies...............
*****

The prophets proclaim..................
 Jeremiah 44:17 - But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen H4446 of heaven, H8064 and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

 Jeremiah 44:18 - But since we left off to burn incense to the queen H4446 of heaven, H8064 and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

 Jeremiah 44:19 - And when we burned incense to the queen H4446 of heaven, H8064 and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

The writings bear witness...........................
*****
Jeremiah 44:25 - Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen H4446 of heaven, H8064 and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

For too long many of us have been lied to about the resurrection of the true Messiah named Yahuwshuwa. Just ask any person on the street “When did Jesus die on the cross, and when was Jesus raised from the dead?” The answer will inevitably be “He died on Good Friday and he rose again on Easter Sunday.”

You see, organized religion has fed us lies in order to sell their political agenda and their merchandise. But the prophet Jeremiah was shown what would happen in these last days we are now living in. Listen to what he says:

Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 16:19 O the Most High, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto you from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

What exactly are these lies that we have inherited?

It all began at the Tower of Babel about 2,275 years before the birth of Messiah. An evil religion and empire was started by one of the most evil men in history.

His name was Nimrod and he was the great grandson of Noah. But he was very rebellious against the Creator, ​the Most High Elohiym, and he was finally caught and slain for his crimes. Scripture calls him “the mighty hunter” but this was not in a positive connotation. Nimrod actually hunted for humans and used them for sacrifices to the pagan sun-god Moloch.

Nimrod’s name is only mentioned four times in the entire Bible, (Genesis 10:8-9; 1st Chronicles 1:10, Micah 5:6). But more details are given in the book of Yashar (Jasher) about Nimrod’s life and his mother Semiramis. The book of Yashar (Jasher) is spoken about in scripture in Joshua 10:13 & 2nd Samuel 1:18.

In the book of Yashar (Jasher) we read that Nimrod was counseled by the priests of Ba’al to marry his own mother as an act of incest in order to acquire what is called “the third eye” or the “all-seeing eye of Lucifer.” Today people call it “psychic power” or “extra-sensory perception,” but it is demonic power to “see” things in the spiritual realms. The Bible calls this “a spirit of divination” (Ezekiel 13:6-7) which is a counterfeit to the true gifts of the Holy Spirit given to those who are in covenant relationship with the Messiah, Yahuwshuwa and obey his commandments (1st Corinthians 12:1-11).

Nimrod married his mother Semiramis in order to acquire this special power from the fallen angels, and together they started a “one world religion and government” called “The Babylonian Empire.” Nimrod built a tower that would reach towards heaven because he wanted to consult the fallen angels through the use of astrology.

When the Most High saw that Nimrod’s kingdom was becoming powerful and that the people were all in “one accord” under a false satanic empire, he caused the continents to be divided in the earth by large bodies of water, and he caused the people’s languages to become confused, and thus the people of Babylon scattered to different parts of the world (Genesis 10:32 & 11:7).

The continents of the earth at one time were all connected as one large land-mass, but in Bereshiyth (Genesis) 10:32 we read that Yah divided the nations of the earth. This is what is known as “Pangaea” in modern Science. Nimrod’s religion then migrated to all of the continents of the world, but since the languages had been confused by the Most High, the names of the characters were changed. Thus Nimrod had various names in different cultures and his mother Semiramis also had various names in different cultures as well. Nimrod’s mother and wife, Semiramis became universally known as “The Queen of Heaven” and this pagan goddess has been worshiped all over the world since that time.

Whose Resurrection Are You Celebrating?

The nation of Yisra’el was guilty of worshiping this very same “Queen of Heaven,” the goddess of the moon and sky, and our Heavenly Father sent the prophet Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) to give warning to them. Listen to the attitudes of the House of Yahuwdah (Judah) as they presumptuously thought that they could burn incense to this goddess while still maintaining their covenant relationship with the Most High:

Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 44:17-18 “But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goes forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Yahuwdah (Judah), and in the streets of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left off to burn incense to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.”

Has anything changed today in the Christian Church? Most Christians think that the ancient Yisra’elites were somehow much more idolatrous than people are today in Christianity. But the truth is, the very same sins committed by the nation of Yisra’el (which caused them to go into captivity with their enemies), are the very same sins that are being committed today by the Christian Church!

Our Messiah was not sacrificed on a tree so that we can continue in these pagan lies. He was sacrificed to redeem backsliding Yisra’el from her pagan ways and that includes those within the Christian Churches today who have been “grafted into” the olive tree (Yisra’el).

In the Egyptian culture, Isis is the “Queen of Heaven” holding her baby son Horus. The Roman Emperor Constantine renamed this image “Mary & Baby Jesus” in the 3rd Century, but this image is none other than the original Queen of Heaven named Semiramis and she is holding her baby son Tammuz. When Nimrod and Semiramis’s religion migrated to other parts of the world, she took on different names. Another one of her aliases is “Easter.” This is the true identity of EASTER and her son Nimrod who was later supposedly reincarnated as Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14). Mythology purports that she spends six months each year in the underworld, but on Easter “Sun” day (named after the sun-god) she resurrects in the “East” because the sun rises in the East, and the pagans worship the sun.

Her name started out as Semiramis, but then it was changed in other cultures. She is also known in other cultures as Isis, Diana, Astarte, Ishtar, Aphrodite, Venus, Easter and also as the false deified version of the “Catholic Mary.” Her baby son Nimrod (later reincarnated as Tammuz) also had other names in various cultures because this Babylonian religion migrated around the world. He is also known as Horus, Apollo, Sol, Krishna, Hercules, Mithra, and many others.

This image of Isis Queen of Heaven with baby Horus the sun-god is the true identity of the Catholic “Mary & baby Jesus” that is worshipped by Catholics unawares through icons and graven images.

You will also notice the two horns on her head are for the “horned god” Lucifer and the “disk” within the horns symbolizes the sun. This image violates the second commandment in Shemoth (Exodus) 20:4 which says “you shall not make unto you any graven image.”

This image of the mother Mary with child is none other than the pagan goddess Semiramis, Easter, Isis, and her son & husband Nimrod, Tammuz, Horus, Osirus etc. In order to understand how Satan slipped in his false religion into modern-day Christendom, we must first understand the origin of Satan’s first religion from ancient Babylon. Nimrod was one of Noah’s great grandsons who was known as a “mighty hunter” of men’s souls, and he also married his mother Semiramis. ----The Two Babylons by Alexander Hyslop.

Bereshiyth (Genesis) 10:8-10 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Most High: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Most High. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel.

This word “before” in the above verse is “paniym” which is #H6440 in the Strong’s Concordance:

#6440. paniym paw-neem’ the face, against, anger, battle, impudent.

This word “before” or “paniym” is not meant in a positive connotation. This word is telling us that Nimrod was being “impudent” as if to say “in your face” with a rebellious shameless attitude. The word “impudent” has the following synonyms: Audacious, bold, bold-faced, brash, brazen, brazen-faced, cocksure, cocky, impertinent, nervy, insolent, disregard of others, etc.

Together, Semiramis and her son/husband, Nimrod started this occult religion of sacrificing babies to Moloch, aka Satan which they especially did on the winter solstice and the vernal equinox in the spring also called “Easter ‘Sun’ Day.” Nimrod’s name literally means “tyrant, rebellion.” The city of Rome was once known as Saturnalia, “The city of Saturn,” and in the Chaldean mysteries, the Babylonian dictator Nimrod was deified as Saturn. His birthday was celebrated on December 25th or “Saturnalia.” In Chaldee, Saturn is spelled as “STUR” which totals 666:

Shin = 60
Taw = 400
Waw (U) = 6
Resh = 200
Grand Total = 666

Thus we can see that Nimrod was the first historic “Anti-Messiah” (Antichrist). Some of you may be asking “but how could he be an Antichrist, when the Messiah had not yet been born into the world?” Well you see, the Hebrew word “Mashiyach” (Messiah) simply means “the anointed one” and so an “Anti-Messiah” is one who opposes an anointed servant of the Most High:

1st Yahuwchanon (John) 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that Anti-Mashiyach (Antichrist) shall come, even now are there many Antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

Nimrod led the Babylonians to pay tribute to the skies (the sun, the moon, the stars, and planets) by sacrificing infants and children to these pagan deities. The Tower of Babel which expressly built for this purpose, as it echoed in other cultures such as the Aztecs, the Mayans, and the Incas.

Obelisks were phallic or male fertility symbols interpreted as sun rays (precursors of steeples), and this religion was making Nimrod and his mother/wife wealthy as the Babylonian people had to pay money to come into the temple to sacrifice their babies at the Winter Solstice (December 21st -25th) and also at “Easter Sunrise Services,” at the Spring or Vernal Equinox (March 21st -25th). This sounds just like today’s abortion clinics, doesn’t it?

Every year on March 25th & December 25th, there would be wild drunken parties and orgies where virgins would become impregnated by pagan priests. Since there are 9 months to a pregnancy, and there are also 9 months between March 25th and December 25th, the pagan priests of Ba’al would impregnate these virgins on Easter Sunday, and then by December 25th when these infants were newly born, they would then offer up these newborn babies on the altar to “Moloch” on December 25th.

A few months later on Easter “Sun-day” they would offer up more infants to the goddess named “Easter,” and then they would dye eggs in the blood of these sacrificed infants!!!

The “blood red eggs” which is the only color that the Greek Orthodox Church uses to color their eggs!

When one of Noah’s sons, Shem heard what Nimrod and his wife Semiramis were doing, he sent out a bounty hunt to have Nimrod killed. However, the book of Yashar (Jasher) records that it was Esau (the twin brother of Jacob) who actually killed Nimrod. After Nimrod was killed, Semiramis was worried that the kingdom would slip through her fingers, thereby causing her losing out on the wealth and power that she had grown accustomed to.

Semiramis had to think of a way to keep the people hooked into her system, and so she concocted an idea which would keep the legend of Nimrod alive, thereby keeping the big money-making religion alive as well. And so she consulted the pagan priests and astrologers who told her that the sun “dies” on December 21st but it begins to come back to life again on the eve of December 24th.

In paganism this is what is known as the “winter solstice,” which falls on December 21st. Before the invention of telescopes in ancient times, the pagans thought that the sun was dying during this time. In reality, the earth is rotating on its axis as it is also making a revolution around the sun every 365 days.

Because of the position of the earth in relation to the sun during the winter solstice, the northern hemisphere of the earth is experiencing winter while the southern hemisphere (below the Equator) is tilted towards the sun causing that part of the world to experience summer.

The scriptures describe the revolution of the earth around the sun as a “circuit” or a “tequwphah.” The Hebrew Strong’s Concordance defines this word for “the year’s end” as follows:

#8622. tequwphah tek-oo-faw’ from 5362; a revolution, i.e. (of the sun) course, (of time) lapse:--circuit, come about, end.

Shemoth (Exodus) 34:22 And you shall observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end [#H8622 tequwphah].

What happens at the solstice?

“The North Pole is tilted furthest away from the sun at the solstice. The December solstice occurs when the sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees. In other words, it is when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun…. Depending on the Gregorian calendar, the December solstice occurs annually on a day between December 20 and December 23. On this date, all places above a latitude of 66.5 degrees north (Arctic Polar Circle) are now in darkness, while locations below a latitude of 66.5 degrees south (Antarctic Polar Circle) receive 24 hours of daylight….An observer in the northern hemisphere, the December solstice marks the day of the year with the least hours of daylight.”

Because the winter solstice was the shortest day of the year (having the least hours of daylight), the Babylonians thought the sun died on December 21st and three days later it resurrected on the eve of December 24th thereby causing the sun to be “reborn” on December 25th. This is the reason why they would conduct child-sacrifices to the sun-god in order to help the sun come back to life!

Using astrology as her guide, Semiramis became pregnant on March 25th (exactly 9 months before December 25th), and then she concocted a legend for the Babylonian people telling them that on December 21st, Nimrod dies each year, but three days and three nights later, on December 25th he is “born-again” (reincarnated) as the “The Sun-god, Ba’al.” Semiramis also declared herself as the goddess of the moon and sky and she said that her son/husband, Nimrod had supernaturally impregnated her with the “rays of the sun.”

Semiramis gave birth on December 25th to another son named Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14) and she ordered the Babylonians to go into the groves (forest) and place a gift under the tree to honor Nimrod who was “cut down” like a tree (Isaiah 14:12-19). She also ordered the people to cut down a tree, bring it into their homes and decorate it with silver and gold balls to symbolize Nimrod’s testicles (Jeremiah 10:3-4).

Trees and branches became symbols of Nimrod because Nimrod was “cut down” just like a tree. Hence, a tree stump became a place of honoring B’aal, Nimrod, Tammuz and his many reincarnated aliases. In Jeremiah 10:2-4, the Most High warns us not to use trees as part of our worship:

Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 10:2-4 “Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; [astrology, zodiac] for the heathen are dismayed at them…For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not.”

Ten Warnings Against “Asherah” for Ten Lost Tribes of Yisra’el

In Jeremiah, 3:8, we learn that ten out of twelve tribes of Yisra’el were divorced and scattered to the four corners of the earth because of their pagan holidays (see Amos 5:21-27; Isaiah 1:1-14; Hosea 4:17; 1st Kings 12:28-33). Is it any wonder that there are “ten” places in the Tanakh (Towrah & Prophets) where YaHuWaH is warning them to break down and destroy their images of “Asherah?”

Shemoth (Exodus) 34:13 But you shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their Asherah (groves).

Debariym (Deuteronomy) 7:5 But thus shall you deal with them; you shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their Asherah (groves), and burn their graven images with fire.

Debariym (Deuteronomy) 12:3 And you shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their Asherah (groves) with fire; and you shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.

Shophtiym (Judges) 3:7 And the children of Yisra’el did evil in the sight of YHWH, and forgot YHWH their Elohiym, and served Baalim and the Asherah (groves).

1st Melakiym (Kings) 14:15 For YHWH shall smite Yisra’el, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Yisra’el out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their Asherah (groves), provoking the Most High to anger.

1st Melakiym (Kings) 14:23 For they also built them high places, and images, and Asherah (groves), on every high hill, and under every green tree.

1st Melakiym (Kings) 18:19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Yisra’el unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Ba’al four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of Asherah (groves) four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table.

2nd Melakiym (Kings) 17:10 And they set them up images and Asherah (groves) in every high hill, and under every green tree.

2nd Melakiym (Kings) 18:4 He removed the high places, and broke the images, and cut down the Asherah (groves),and broke in pieces the brasen serpent that Mosheh (Moses) had made: for unto those days the children of Yisra’el did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

2nd Melakiym (Kings) 23:14 And he broke in pieces the images, and cut down the Asherah (groves), and filled their places with the bones of men.

In the King James Version the word for “groves” in all of the above passages is translated in Hebrew as the following word:

Strong’s Concordance #H842 Asherah: groves (for idol worship); a Babylonian (Astarte)-Canaanite goddess (of fortune and happiness), the supposed consort of Baal, her images; the goddess, goddesses; her images; sacred trees or poles set up near an altar.

Did you see this? Christmas & Easter-Egg trees are really “Asherah Poles” or sacred trees for honoring “Ba’al!” Many Christian Churches decorate these trees with little balls and colored eggs, and then they set them up right next to their altars just like the ancient Babylonians! Beloved, did you know that the ornaments that are placed on these trees also represent Nimrod’s testicles?

Babylonian history records that Nimrod was chopped up into pieces and his body parts were sent to different provinces of Babylon to warn the people not to sacrifice babies to Moloch. His only body part that was never found was his penis, and so his mother/wife, Semiramis decided to memorialize it by erecting a giant image of Nimrod’s uncircumcised penis which today is also called an “obelisk.” The obelisk is a powerful witchcraft “talisman” and those within the occult know that the devil and his fallen angels use these as “points of contact.” You will note that there is one in Washington D.C. called “The Washington Monument” and there is also one in front of St. Peter’s Square in front of the Vatican. Occultists have strategic reasons for placing these on top of church buildings as “steeples” in order to cast spells on the people within these churches.

Shema Selah....What have we combined with our worship?? Who is it that we really are worshipping??

Passover vs. easter: ​Keeping Passover at the Right Time Is Critical

Deutronomy 16


We are walking in today: ​Keeping Passover at the Right Time Is Critical

Witness appointed throughout the Bible: H4150 mo'ed--appointed time, meeting, appointed time, sacred season, set feast, appointed season

Genesis 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed H4150 I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

The Torah testifies...............
Exodus 23:15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thoushalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed H4150 of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)

The prophets proclaim..................
Jeremiah 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; H4150 and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

The writings bear witness...........................
2 Chronicles 31:3 He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, H4150 as it is written in the law of the LORD.

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, H4150 but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.


​Keeping Passover at the Right Time Is Critical

Passover is so important that if one is unable because of uncleanness or travel to observe it on the 14th of the first month, it is to be kept on the 14th of the following month, Numbers 9:10-14 As ​the Most High began to prepare His people Israel to be released from the bondage of Egypt, He told Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you,” Exodus 12:2.

Deuteronomy 16:1 reveals this month as Abib, the beginning of the year and first of the months in Yahweh’s calendar. Abib in Hebrew means“Green Ears” of barley. Abib comes in the spring when the warming sun brings vegetative life back to the earth in the northern hemisphere. Pass­over falls in this month, reminding us of the renewal of our life as portrayed by the time of our Savior’s sacrifice.

Because the Passover season ushers in the holy times of Unleavened Bread, Satan continues his attempts to influ­ence well-meaning people to follow teachings and practices outside the Bible. Not only does the Adversary confuse us as to the proper month, but he attempts to delay the proper day ​the Most High’s people should observe.

By listening to those who ignore the plain teaching of the Bible, some are led astray to keep a day the Scriptures do not honor. Surely the Word will tell us plainly which day we are to keep for Passover! ​The Most High would not make the proper time difficult to figure out.

First Biblical Passover

The seven Annual Holy Days were already programmed early in Yahweh’s grand plan for mankind back at creation. He said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons and for days, and years” (Gen. 1: 14).

The word “seasons” in this verse does not refer to the four seasons’ of the year – spring, summer, fall and winter – but is from the- Hebrew moed. The word moed (Strong’s No, 4150) means “appointed time,” and is connected with ​the Most High​’s Feasts, His special times of the year. On the other hand, the Hebrew word eht means seasons of the year as we see in Deuteronomy 11: 14 and​ ​Leviticus 26:4.

There are those who contend that we should follow the Jews and keep the same days they do, as they have been observing the Feast days for some 4,000 years. The problem is that the Jews no longer follow the Bible in the special times that they observe. They have written their own rules missing from Scripture, and to­day they keep Passover a day late. However, they do have a “Seder” service that they keep at home with the family at the start of the 14th. They then go to the synagogue on the 15th for a supper, which they call “The Passover,” even though a day too late.

It would be well to review chapter 12 of Exodus to get the story flow of the first Passover. All Passovers must conform to the first example given us. Exodus 12:3-5 tells us that a lamb without blemish was selected on the tenth day of Abib and was to be kept until the 14th. Verse six reveals that each family was to slay its lamb: “And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.”

Between the Evenings: Dusk

When the 14th came the lamb was to be slain. Scripture shows that the day begins at evening (dusk, sunset), when the previous day ends (Genesis 1:5; Lev. 23:32; Mark 1:32), not at midnight as in our Roman-Gregorian calendar. Numbers 9: 1-5 is clear that everything pertaining to Passover is to be done on the 14th: “In the fourteenth day of this month, at even [between the evenings], you shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall you ‘keep it. And Moses spake unto the children of Is­rael that they should keep the Pass­over. And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel” (Num. 9:3-5). The 15th is nowhere mentioned in connection with the Passover.

The Hebrew term “even” or “evening” referring to Passover fre­quently is ben-ha-arbayim, explained as “between the evenings” and understood by the Samaritans and Karaites as between sunset and dark. The Jewish Tanakh published by the Jewish Publi­cation Society translates this as “twi­light.” Other Bibles follow suit or translate it “dusk.” The first evening is sunset, the second is darkness. The majority of today’s translations (like the NASB) read twilight, dusk or after sunset – literally between the “evenings” of sundown and complete darkness.

Attempts at a different understanding have been made by those quoting various Rabbinical philosophies of the Pharisees who later reinterpreted the meaning of ben-ha-arbayim to mean “beginning at noon (or later) until sunset.”

Temple Practice

When the Jews returned from Babylon under Ezra, they first observed two days, the first for Passover and the sec­ond for the first day of the Feast. But in a later shift, they merged Passover and Unleavened Bread. There were legitimate changes made by Ezra after the Jews returned from Babylon. For Passover they no longer had their staff at hand, their shoes on their feet, nor packed for a journey. They were now in the Holy Land and lounged on benches. Four cups of drink were added, which Yahshua uti­lized in His symbols of His body and blood, the “cup of blessing.”

Records during the time of the Mes­siah and before show that the Sadducees were in charge of Temple worship and set the Feast days until 70 C.E., when the Temple was destroyed. The annual Sabbaths were set by the Sanhedrin when Yahshua walked this earth. The Savior, along with Mary and Joseph, kept the Feast days according the set times of the Temple, the calendar of the Sadducee: “Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Yahshua stayed behind in Jerusa­lem …” (Luke 2:41-43).

He obviously continued observing the Feast days according to the Sadducees while on earth, as He went to the Temple for Tabernacles, John 7:14. He had no quarrel with the Sadducees and their calendar.

Passover Clearly on the 14th

Following are passages that clearly state that the 14th is Passover:

“These are the feasts of ​the Most High, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is ​the Most High’s Pass­over” (Lev. 23:4-5).

“Let the children of Israel also keep the Passover at his appointed season. In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, you shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall you keep it” (Num. 9:2-3)

This is an especially significant verse, as it clearly states that everything dealing with the Passover is to be done on the 14th, which is the appointed time (twilight, NIV), the rites and ceremonies (rules and regu­lations, NIV) pertaining to it. Nothing pertaining to Passover was to be done on the 15th.

“And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that ​ the Most High com­manded Moses, so did the children of Israel” (Num. 9:5).

“And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover of ​the Most High. And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten” (Num. 28: 16-17).

“And the children of Israel en­camped in Gilgal, and kept the Pass­over on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jeri­cho. And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow af­ter the Passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day” (Josh. 5:10-11).

“Then they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of ​ the Most High" (2Chr. 30: 15).

“Moreover Josiah kept a Passover unto Yahweh in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover on the fourteenth [day] of the first month” (2Chron. 35:1).

“And the children of the captivity kept the Passover upon the fourteenth [day] of the first month” (Ezra 6:19).

Unmistakable Sequence

The above verses distinctly state that the 14th is the Passover, and the 15th is the Feast (of Unleavened Bread). The follow­ing verses are a real problem for those who mistakenly insist upon a 15th Pass­over. Note the similar wording describing when the Passover and the Feast of Tab­ernacles will be observed in the Kingdom:

• “In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, you shall’ have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleav­ened bread shall be eaten” (Ezek. 45:21, note the similar wording, keeping it on the 14th).

• “In the seventh month, in the fif­teenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, accord­ing to the sin offering …” (Ezek. 45:25).

If keeping the Passover at the end of the 14th is the correct time, then one should observe Tabernacles at the end of the 15th as the 16th begins and keep it seven days! This is an important compari­son, for the wording about both is almost exactly duplicated. If this means that Passover in the Kingdom will be kept at the end of the 14th just as the 15th begins, then Taber­nacles also will be kept a day later, at the end of the 15th as the 16th begins. But the Bible says that Passover is on the 14th of Abib and Tabernacles begins on the 15th of Tishri.

The sequence of events given in ​the Most High’s Word is clear and logical. All verses dealing with Passover harmonize with a 14th Passover and 15th as the High Sabbath, the first day of Unleavened Bread. After sunset ending the 13th, the 14th would begin, which signaled the time to slay the lamb and smear blood on the doorposts and lintel. The lamb was roasted and eaten that night before mid­night when the destroyer came over.

On the morning of the 14th, the re­mains of the lamb were taken out, and the people began gathering their fam­ily, flocks, and herds and assembling at Rameses some 30 miles from Goshen (Num. 33:3) and spoiled the Egyptians. From Rameses they left Egypt as the 14th ended and the 15th began, which Deuteronomy 16:1 says was by night. This took time, as an estimated total of 2-3 million Israelites left, Exodus 12:37.

“Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto​ the Most High your Elohim: for in the month of Abib ​the Most High your Elohim brought you forth out of Egypt by light” (Deut. 16: 1).

Once gathered at Rameses, Israel prepared themselves in marching order with their families and livestock to­gether and prepared to leave Egypt on the full moon night of the 15th.

“And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow af­ter the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians” (Num. 33:3).

Yahshua Observed It Properly

Yahshua kept the Passover at the proper time and fulfilled all righteousness right up to the time of His death. Even by that time the Jews were keep­ing Passover a day later, just as they do today, John 18:28. Notice that the dis­ciples were not confused about when He was keeping the Passover, Matthew 26: 18-19; Mark 14; Luke 22:8-14; John 13. All Evangels say Yahshua was entombed on the preparation day: Matthew 27:62; Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54, John 19:31, 42. This in itself shows that Yahshua kept the Passover as the 14th began; was on trial that night, and was impaled as morning came.

Yahshua kept the Passover with His disciples and shortly afterward was taken prisoner and then severely beaten and scourged, His flesh ripped open. By His stripes we are healed. If He kept the law​ ​perfectly, should we not also keep Passover on the beginning of the 14th?

We are told we should follow the practice of the Jews in observing the Passover on the 15th. Today, far too much credence is given to the practice of the Pharisees, who already in Yahshua’s time kept Passover a day late.

Beware of Jewish Custom

The Jews freely admit that the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread were at one time two separate festivals. However, following their return from Babylon, the two were merged into one observance and Passover is now kept by Jews on Abib 15. That they kept Passover a day late is clear from John’s Evangel:

“Then led they Yahshua from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the Passover” (John 18:28).

The Encyclopedia Judaica admits that the Jews have fused the two obser­vances and now keep Passover a day late on the 15th, observing it along with the first day of Unleavened Bread: “The feast of Passover consists of two parts: the Passover ceremony, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Originally, both parts existed separately; but at the beginning of the exile they were combined” (Vol. 13,“Passover,” p. 169).

It is clear that the Bible knows noth­ing about Passover’s being observed on the 15th. Bible references show that Pass­over is to be on the 14th of Abib, which has to be in the evening when the 13th ends at sunset, and the 14th begins. Those who anchor their Passover to the Jews ignore the plain statements of Scripture that Passover is on the 14th. They depend upon a misunderstanding of​ ​Matthew’s statement. “Then spake Yahshua to the multi­tude, and to his disciples, Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not you after their works: for they say, and do not” (Mat. 23:1-3).

Yahshua is telling us that when the scribes and Pharisees read the Old Tes­tament as Moses did, they will be quot­ing these same verses. These teachings, when from the Bible, we are to obey. We are not to DO what the Pharisees do, however, for they say one thing and do another. They tell us from their reading of the Bible to keep the Pass­over on the 14th. But in their practice they keep Passover on the 15th. “Do not after their works,” says our Savior. He also so much as says that the Phari­sees will not have everlasting life, Mat­thew 5:20. Why should we want to follow a custom of those who were fatally wrong in their practices?

Yahshua is telling us not to follow Jewish custom. We are to keep Pass­over on the 14th as Moses wrote, not as the Jews do today.

There is not one verse in the Bible telling us to keep Passover or any rite or ceremony thereof on ANY day except the l4th! We find no saints keeping Passover as the 14th ends and 15th starts. Yahshua kept the Passover at the beginning of the 14th, and we are to walk in His steps.

His Later Practice

The four Evangels show that the Sav­ior and His disciples were prepared to eat the Passover (Mat. 26:17-20; Mark 14:12-17;Luke 22:7-18; John 13:1-2). Not one of these references shows the disciples questioning why the Savior is preparing to partake of the Passover early (or late).

In both Matthew and Mark the dis­ciples asked Yahshua where they should prepare for Him to eat the Pass­over. The disciples knew when Passover was to be held. They had no problem with keeping this special time correctly and went to make ready the Passover.

A Fabled ‘Memorial Supper’

Nowhere do we find any disciple keep­ing Passover a day later with the Jews, who apparently observed the 15th. The question is, why did the Jews keep Passover a day later than the Savior?

The Savior had already kept the Passover in John 13, five chapters earlier. Somehow a fable has arisen that Yahshua kept a sort of “memorial sup­per,” separate from the Passover. “Memorial Supper” nowhere ap­pears in Scripture. A careful reading of the four evangels shows that Yahshua and His disciples did indeed keep the Passover on the “preparation day,” which is the 14th of Abib. Further­more, the Bible says Yahshua ate the Passover meal with the Disciples.

“Now when the even was come, He sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, He said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and be­gan everyone of them to say unto him, Master, is it I? And He answered and said, He that dips his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray Me” (Mat. 26:21-23).

Some historians and Bible dictionaries admit that Passover was held on two consecutive dates in the year 31 C.E., including The Dictionary of the New Testament.

Passover is not a “Sabbath” or Shabbathown. It is a time to prepare for the ensuing week of Unleavened Bread. That is baking the “bread of affliction,” and ridding our domiciles of all leav­ening. Passover is for those immersed into the Savior’s Name and is to be ob­served religiously as a Feast Day every year in the spring:

“And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a feast to ​the Most High throughout your gen­erations; you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever” (Ex. 12:14).

If the Savior kept the Passover early and at the wrong time, as some allege, then He sinned and did not keep the law perfectly! He also made His disciples to sin by misleading them to keep Passover on the wrong day!

Night of Watching

As He kept the Passover, Yahshua observed a much neglected command along with His disciples, given back in Exodus 12. We read little about it, but scholars con­tend that the following Passover verse tells those keeping Passover to go back to their tents in the morning after keep­ing a Shimmurim or all-night vigil, a “Night of watching”: “And you shall roast and eat it in the place which ​the Most High your Elohim shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go unto your tents” (Deut. 16:7).

This command is found where the Passover is first mentioned: “It is a night to be much observed unto ​the Most High for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of ​the Most High to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations” (Ex. 12:42).

Yahshua and the disciples kept the correct Passover on the 14th and fol­lowed it by keeping the “Night of Watching” when they went out to the garden. There Yahshua asked the dis­ciples to stay awake and pray: “Then said Yahshua unto them, All you shall be offended because of me this night: for it is writ­ten, I will smite the shep­herd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad … Then said He unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry here, and watch with me” (Mat. 26:31-38).

Matthew clearly states that the disciples were asked to “watch” with the Savior that night. Three times He came to them, and they were sleeping. Reading the Evangels, we learn there were many Jews, priests, and even young maidens up and about in this chilly “night of watching” when Peter warmed himself outside.

​The Most High watched out for Israel dur­ing the night the destroying angel was about, and now His people are to keep a watch for Him.
Shema Selah what time and season are you keeping??  WDYD-what did Yeshua do??
