I

grew up attending a Sunday-believing Pentecostal church but later got baptized as a Seventh-day Adventist. Following my baptism, I got reunited with my family who had been living abroad for some time, and during this time I totally lost sight of what I had learnt being a newly converted SDA and started again attending a Pentecostal Church, I suppose to "fit-in" with my family. Now, in the midst of all this that is when the truth about the Biblical Calendar was brought to my attention. At first I was eager to study it, but so many things started happening around me and I relegated engaging in study to some future time, when I would feel I had the chance. You see the devil will never give you a free pass to just walk out of darkness into light and especially if he knows you will use this truth to overcome his temptations and help others to do the same. He adds a lot of mishaps and problems, to the end that we begin to think we have gone astray and Elohim is punishing us for disobedience. The moment that first thought comes into the mind we need to shun the devil and use the power of the word to overcome. Like Peter I looked at my problems and began to sink, and instead of simply beholding the light, in my heart of hearts I shunned it all together and it was lost to my sight. The storms of life seemed to calm a bit, but little had I realised that it was the enemy of souls wrapping false alternative doctrines in a glittering paper to make it seem attractive for my approval, in the hope that I would perhaps reject the marvellous light that was shining upon my fibble heart.

It is true that having known the light, but willingly falling back into, it will be more difficult to find your way. But thank Yahuwah for He had a plan to give me hope and a brighter future. It is written, "Man makes plans, but Elohim makes the decisions." When we make our own plans thinking to go in one certain direction, He shows us that this life is not ours, especially when He has a work that He has assigned for you to do. Elohim used my partner to correct my steps. At first it was hard because friends seemed to reject me for choosing a different path. But it was my own doing that brought this misery. For the work that could have been done with ease, had to be done with more challenges because I had removed my eyes off the light and had to return to the path with a lot of challenges to face. I rejoice now after seeing how Yahuwah is providing for us. Even when I look at examples of other people and how they live their lives, I praise Yahuwah for planting my feet securely upon the rock of His immutable word. His word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. As long as I keep my faith according to His word, I shall not be moved like an anchor that holds through the fiercest storm.

B

ut just because we have found our way, it doesn't mean the devil stops trying. He will always be there watching to pounce on every opportunity he gets to turn you back. Having accepted the message on the Luni-solar Calendar with its accompanying New Moons and Sabbaths, we asked Elohim to help us share this truth with the world and began making preparations to go and minister in Africa as pilgrims. Here again, the devil jumped in to ensure we had no means for preparation. All that is called means and finances seemed to have taken indefinite leave from us but Yahuwah had a plan. We received a gift that we accepted as Yahuwah's token of His amazing providence. We knew this was a positive response to our prayers HALLELU-YAH!!! Our plans were back on track, but the devil was not out of ideas. I was suddenly stuck with illness to an extent that I had to constantly be monitored and admitted into hospital several times. Having pleaded for the added portion of the Spirit of Yahushua, our eyes were opened to the fact that it was the devil behind all the bouts of sickness that at some point left me asking Yahuwah to give me rest, to sleep in His arms and await His coming.

With this we have decided to continue to press on towards the mark of the higher calling. We shall look no more at our trials and tribulations, but keep our eyes on the light and fight to win the race. For it is written "from the time of John the Baptist, the kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." We will continue to go forward no matter the circumstances and we know that Yahuwah will open a way for us, and even if He doesn't we are sure it will count as evidence of our love and servitude to our master who gave all up just to give me the chance to be a joint heir together with Him in Heaven. Let us continue to study His word and pray without ceasing, for Yahushua to pour His Spirit upon us, for the partaking of His glorious image, for only this is the means of our salvation...YAHUSHUA IN US THE HOPE OF GLORY!

In His Love & Service

He would fuss, while I had been Baptist much of my adult life, I could never find peace over it. About two weeks before I found The Creators Calendar website, it was a Saturday, and looking out a window I ask Father, "why doesn't either day, Saturday or Sunday feel like the Sabbath to me," I wanted peace over it! I was tired of satan constantly whispering, "you know you're failing God don't you by not keeping the sabbath and what if you're wrong about the day"? So within a week I was studying the name Yahshua by Scott Nelson and worked my way reading other articles and found your website. After listening, reading and studying on your sight, and seeing the weight of scriptural evidence, I knew the TRUTH. It never felt like the Sabbath because most of the time it wasn't, according to our Heavenly Fathers time keeping system the calendar as we know it today, but when reading the scriptures and the information you supplied on the history... happy am I!!! For I am persuaded in my own mind, that it is as Yahuwah established it from the new moon counting seven days forward.

I was blessed to see the first Crescent Moon after I found your site, not counting that day but seven days forward it fell as your calendar said on Saturday in the month of June until July 2nd.

Following the Unsearchable Stone

I've learned that ALL CHURCHES only teach their parishioners what they want them to know from the Bible, and not the whole Bible itself. Therefore many people have very inconsistent views of the kind of person God is in there minds. They end up worshiping the Father in very wrong ways and in many cases through FEAR. The Father has taught me more from His word than I've ever learned from any church. What's really in the Scriptures isn't taught in any church. Why? Because it wouldn't benefit the organization to correct the errors from their past, as that would be too embarrassing, because of pride.

One of the things a calendar teaches us is when to work and when to worship, and let's face it, it's a part of our every day lives. The first calendar ever created wasn't the Julian or Gregorian, but the Creator's calendar, which consisted of the sun, moon, and stars. Genesis 1:14. "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day form the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years." Whoever controls the calendar controls the world. Since the church of Rome is the creator of the Gregorian calendar they can make any day the Sabbath if it so chooses. Just think of it if they chose to make Saturday on the calendar the day of worship it would truly deceive the whole world because it's the seventh day just like the bible says, but it's not the Sabbath according to the word of God!!!! Now it's your turn to choose to listen to the spirit of truth through the word of God saying, "this is the way walk ye in it." What will your testimony reveal about God? Will you hear or will you forbear? Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

As it happens, I was shipped off to boarding school from the 4th grade until the fourth year of Senior High School, a good 8 years! I suppose it was during this time that my "Adventism" became a bit mixed up as I met with kids from different backgrounds who did things differently to what I had been taught. At this time, all the mischief of childhood exploded onto the scene, so to speak; and this gentle, calm young boy became talkative in class etc. etc! I can truly testify that the grace of our Saviour has abode with me since my childhood, as I can almost recall all the frequent family misfortunes that befell us. Such as the experience I had in getting tormented by evil angels (known by different terms in Africa, during the night times. It was a sad thing seeing my mother struggling to find ways to wade off these evil spirits that almost always woke me screaming in my sleep, in the thick of night. Her care and concern for me, was truly a challenge to her mold of faith and beliefs as she was constantly advised to deal with an African problem the African way. It broke my mother's heart that after trying all sorts of things like praying with me before bed and reading out loud Bible verses, during one of the not-so-frequent school holidays, and out of shear desperation we ended up visiting all sorts of traditional 'faith' healers, in a futile attempt to purge out these demonic influences. Looking back, had I been old enough to understand, I would have pointed out to my loving mother the verse in Isaiah 8:19-20. This might have saved her and myself the agony and humiliation of following useless African rituals, which did not hold any place whatsoever, in an Adventist Christian family! But that is how cunning the devil can be, he uses our fondest affections for the ones we love the most, and places us in very compromising situations in order to drive us to do dishonour to our Maker!

On one of these visits to a certain self-professed "traditional healer," my mother was asked what faith she practiced, to which she emphatically responded, "We are Seventh-day Adventists!" This certain "healer" was shell-shocked! In a hushed tone of voice, he inquired why we had come and by whom we had been so advised. If I'm not mistaken, these were his exact words (he spoke in Shona, a local dialect). "You are the people of the Most High, what are you looking for here?" He seemed well puzzled, and from the expression on the faces of all who had accompanied us, I saw shock like I had never before seen! I was about 10 years old then, but I can recall the silence which accompanied us back to our homestead, because after that pricking question, we all just went on our way and nobody spoke to each other. The eeriness of that long walk was a turning point in my life...I remember asking upon our return home, when everyone had sort of settled back into routine, what that meant to say "You are the people of the Most High?"

With this knowledge in mind, I began praying and asking for deliverance with shear faith and confidence because in my reasoning, surely if we were the people of the Most High, then that explained why I was being tormented. More so, it meant logically that I could overturn the situation by virtue of my 'royal affiliation' to heaven, surely. Although this reasoning was childish, I took upon the little faith that I had in my little feeble heart, and I DEMANDED that the demons leave me in peace! Amazingly, and to my utter amazement it somehow worked! So from that point on there was no going back. "I am a child of the living [God]," it felt soooo good even saying that to myself!

Upon my return to boarding school, my heavenly Father also answered another of my prayers: A group of Seventh-day Adventists were to be driving more than 40km's every Saturday, to come to our (government-owned) school and conduct Sabbath School lessons, fellowship and worship with us! Yes, GREAT BIG WOW!!! Amazingly, because for obvious reasons I knew every chorus, hymn and certain Adventist customs, I then became a very very popular guy at my school, which for a kid of that age, was a BIG plus! So my loving Father brought the church to me, I can seldom believe it even now at 30 years of age. I became more convinced that there truly was someone up there and that He cared about me so much so that He answered my prayers undoubtedly.

Well as the story goes, I grew up into the tenacious teens and that brought on a whole new set of challenges. For starters, I began attending High School at a boarding school administered by the Salvation Army, which meant my beloved Saturday was again confined to sporting activities, as I am a keen cricket enthusiast. Yet still my loving Father was always with me. The Christian values and discipline still held true, and for intellectual endeavor, our school was one of the very best in the country.

My faith took a nose-dive when I lost the only brothers I had. My three lovely cousins went to their rest due to a fatal road collision. The depression that ensued took a huge toll on me in a way a child of that age could not understand. I mean, there was school, and then there was Charles, Keith & Neville. I mean, forget the fact that I had lost a parent at a very tender age, but this was my life and now they had been taken from me! Nothing prepared for me for this very, very, very huge blow. Yet I know, that farther along we shall meet again, and perhaps we will yet again get to play hide and seek in mansions pure and fair, never to part again!

Fast-forward to 2001. After years of teenage rebelliousness and backsliding the spirit of my loving heavenly Father once again whispered into my wandering life. I attended some local SDA Church meetings, charmingly termed an effort, and at the end of that week I was baptized! I soon joined the Baptismal class (there are few of these nowadays oddly), and this is where my spiritual journey really started. There was something rather special about being an Adventist, in comparison with other denominations. There was something of a Godly attitude that I found attractive. I suppose it was the fellowship with like-minded brethren, the solemnity of worship service, the melodious singing of Christian Hymns and of course the Bible study seminars.

I soon discovered I had quite a taste for Bible prophecy. It was during my quest for understanding that I studied the mysteries of the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation. I noticed at this time also that whenever I asked for knowledge and wisdom before engaging in Bible study, the things I studied stayed with me, and more understanding came my way through the growing experience of faith. In the book of Daniel, we have an awe-inspiring story of how a certain king of Babylon, known as Nebuchadnezzar had an impressive dream. When the king woke up the following morning, He could not recall the dream; however, the severity of the dream had left a lingering feeling hanging over him, and he sought to find out the dream and its interpretation, whereupon Daniel interpreted His dream. The subject of my enquiry had much to do with dreams and their significance on a Christian's life.

A short while after my baptism, I moved to South Africa for studies, and then to the United Kingdom where I now reside. It was during my short stay in South Africa that I had a truly impressive dream:

I dreamt that I had gone out onto the hills and plains for a walk-about and then lost my way back home. After the sun set and it started to grow dim, I saw a cluster of stars in the sky, which seemed to follow me wherever I went. This constellation of stars was to me very frightening and so I began to run as fast as I could. I soon realized I couldn't actually out-run them as they were making this jet-like sound as they moved in their perfect order across the darkened sky. Suddenly though, they started dripping warm drops of what felt like oil onto my head. I was even more petrified, so I ran as fast as I could though of course I could not escape the drips of oil by which time had soaked my face and shoulders.

I woke up the following morning with that strange feeling hanging over me, that the dream I had was significant. For fear of going ahead of myself, I declined to enquire its interpretation and decided in time to let it go for now. The occasion left me wondering what exactly was implied by such a dream. I have had other impressive dreams since the kindergarten years. Some of the dreams (like when I dreamt of the second coming), were nightmares to me as I did not understand their import at the time. Then come summer of 2010, just when I was feeling as though I had lost all interest in spiritual things. I was in the local library browsing away on the web and chatting with folks and friends, when something got my entire attention. I saw a video posted on YouTube by WLC about the Creator's Calendar entitled, "Three Months in a Row." I had received emails from WLC before, from the time I had read the articles and watched the video about The Prophecy of the Century, based on Revelation 17:8-13. I had been nonchalant (using the word in its strictest form), to actually believe the WLC claim was true as we had been taught a bit differently at Sabbath School. I had noticed that Sister White had not actually made a commentary note on Revelation 17:10, in the Spirit of Prophecy writings and upon this premise alone, I had reasoned that it was therefore of no particular importance.

But there was something about this luni-solar calendar and its Sabbaths that immediately appealed to my intellect and faith. For starters, it ALL made perfect sense that the Creator would require worship governed by His appointed times, which follow His own calendar ordained in the heavens! Something so incomprehensibly great was stirred within my soul by this momentous and monumental truth that I immediately set out to investigate its claims. It took much study, research, reference, inquiry and certainly a LOT of prayers before I settled that there was absolutely NOTHING that stood against this new light except my own cherished opinions and minuscule understanding of the Scriptures. It took me the good part of three months to finally make the decision to quit observing Saturn's day and keep instead the Sabbath as it occurs upon the luni-solar calendar as set forth in Scripture. With faith and conviction growing, I also asked the Father to give me the enabling grace to have a deeper understanding of the Sanctuary message and to be able to express these truths to others in the same way as they had been revealed to me. Incidentally, this also led me to embrace the WLC position on the prophecy of Revelation 17:8-13.

I had felt Yahuwah's calling for years, but had somehow managed to repress its yearnings for way too long and it has only just recently dawned on me that Yahuwah may in fact be speaking right into my life. Something has been brewing inside of me for years and I can smell its sweet essence in my inner being. It is not enough now for me to keep dreaming, but to act. I must embrace this calling regardless of its outworking. Among many other ambitions, I was planning to start a small business selling Atmospheric Water Generators, but Yahuwah spoke directly into my circumstances and answered my prayers while I was standing at the crossroads. Now I am 100% committed to His work and I worry not where my next meal is going to come from, or where I will lay my head, because Yahuwah's voice is speaking much louder than my worries, concerns, sarcastic jests and scoffing from friends and family. I now see unfolding the swift tread of last day events before my very eyes. I can clearly see Yahuwah's hand at work in my life at this time. Prophecies are fulfilling at an awesome pace, and it is my hope and prayer to be among the 144,000 who will proclaim this FINAL WARNING, the loud cry message to the CHURCH and then to the world. Although the ramifications of keeping the true Sabbath according to the Creator's lunisolar calendar are immense, I am compelled by His "principles that rule in the heavens." I cannot spend the rest of my life regretting that I have not responded to His call. The world desperately needs the truth of the coming Kingdom and I must respond. So I am learning each day to grow in His grace, daily seeking to advance His good will to save the lost and to proclaim to the world the solemn warnings contained in the Scriptures.

I am constrained to make mention that it is with deep sadness and regret though to note the contempt with which many people, especially Seventh-day Adventists are casting upon this message, which Yahuwah has given to this generation concerning HIS Sabbaths (Leviticus 23). Shocking as it may be His Sabbaths can only be observed upon HIS ordained luni-solar calendar. More worrying is the way in which the laity are being blind-folded by those in positions of authority claiming that this message is both false and demonic. At most, these subjects are not even allowed to be discussed and where they are discussed, a false coloring is given so as to keep the people in shear ignorance as to the import of the message. Of great significance is the fact that to date, NO ONE has yet produced texts of Scripture that disprove the claim that the 7th-day Sabbath can only be found on the Creator's luni-solar calendar. Worse still, no one has provided a single piece of evidence from Scripture that Saturn's day is also the Sabbath of YAH. All they do is all sorts of name-calling, because in their mis-informed, twisted and biased reckoning, we are working for the enemy. But I suppose that is the glory of faith. Persecution in its varied forms always assumes a disguise. The comforting thing however is that, this path has been consecrated by our gracious Saviour's own footsteps! More so, we have been told that Yahuwah will use the negative press equally as He will use the positive, to reach His people. So Dearly Beloved Brethren, let us work earnestly to warn our other brethren who are still wandering on the plains of Gomorrah. The continued trampling upon the Holy Sabbath by those who claim to be themselves Sabbath-keepers is a grave issue and our hearts must tremble to contemplate having missed the opportunity to warn the people before the prejudice becomes well nigh hardened in those who still believe in the SATURDAY Sabbath.

Arise ye, and depart; for this is NOT your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. Micah 2:10 KJV.

You see, when the truth finally hits home, the impulse is to spread the message. And relying on the Redeemer for grace and providence makes it even more exciting. I simply can't fit everything in a single day anymore because there's simply so much to do, in yet so little time. I have formally withdrawn membership from the S.D.A Church and at the time of writing this testimony, I am studying the truth for this time in preparation for re-baptism. It is a great and solemn privilege to warn others about the fearful consequences of making void the law of Yahuwah, especially about the continued trampling upon His Holy Sabbath, particularly by those who still insist on observing Saturn's day! In this work we are not to consult our temporal everyday life interests, but give our utmost to Yahuwah's service for the salvation of souls. It is a huge undertaking, but one that I now rejoice to do.

I pray you too will soon, if you haven't already done so, give up all and take up your cross to follow Him (and I might add, "whithersoever He goeth"). My greatest battle at the moment is my own sinful human nature, which at best won't submit to the awesome majesty of our Creator & Redeemer. Daily I am constrained to be a debtor to His immense love and grace. My greatest agony is not about the things of this life which are flimsy and temporary, but the constant struggle against sinful impulses inherent in my own human nature!

So, Yahuwah help me! ...THE END

Something happened and I ended up watching the wrong videos which were titled, Three Months In A Row. I found them on Worlds Last Chance that I had been following for the last couple of years. Anyways, as I began to watch one of the clips I saw something that would cause me to question everything I had ever learned about Sabbath. What I saw was that Sunday was not the seventh-day Sabbath, which I knew, but that neither was Saturday! It shocked me that someone would dare say such a thing. So I set out to prove it wrong, as I was accustomed to doing with things that were unfamiliar to me.

I watched the videos and read the articles until I could understand them without confusion, and when I finally began to see that there may be some credibility to Saturday not being the seventh-day Sabbath I started sharing my findings with my wife. She did not like this. In fact she became very angry with me and did not want to hear anything about it. This was difficult for me because I needed someone to talk to about this. In time however, she eventually became willing to listen when I explained that I needed her help in finding out the truth, whether it was this lunisolar thing I had been learning about or if it was what we had been practicing all along.

A few months went by and it was time to start the fall semester. We are students at Southern Adventist University, smack dab in the middle of the Bible belt. At this point my wife was willing to hear what I was studying but not yet ready to study for herself. I would share with her each new profound idea or fallacy that we had been duped into by the deceiver. As the fall semester was coming to a close we felt at that point that we did not know what to believe. We knew for certain that Saturday had no bearing whatsoever since we had studied its origins, but we were still not sure about the lunisolar calendar because it was so different from what we understood. This was definitely a time of wrestling for us.

We stopped going to church. Our friends noticed this and so we shared what we had learned to that point. They did not see what we saw, despite how obvious it was to us. It was confounding and so we felt alone. My wife and I began to cling to our Creator in ways that we had never done before and asking and pleading for direction. We wanted to believe but we did not want to fall for one of Satan's deceptions either. It came to a point late in the year when we realized that our Saviour told us that whatsoever we do, we must do in faith. My wife's friend told her once that the Father could bless a good decision and He could bless a bad decision, but He cannot bless indecision.

The semester passed, and we began the winter semester of this year, 2011. My wife and I came to a convicting point in our relationship with our Father and we decided to follow the Lamb wheresoever He goeth, and we believe that He is leading us in the way of keeping time according to how it is so clearly put down in the scriptures according to the lunisolar calendar. There could be no other way. After making this decision we felt accomplished, whole, and accepted. There was no doubt in our minds as to the validity of our decision. Our Creator had left us hanging for a short amount of time having given us all we needed to make the decision to follow Him. The moment we made the right decision He comforted us and began showing us things we had never seen before! Ellen White make more sense than ever, the scriptures are clearer in such a way that I wonder if I had ever read them before.

Now the testing point. Remember, we are students in an Adventist institution. We made the decision that we would have never attended class on a Saturday when we believed it was the Sabbath, and so we should do no less now. We have missed a few classes here and there as they interfere with the seventh-day Sabbath and we have to speak with our professors about rescheduling exams on these next few Tuesdays. Our grades will be affected by this but we are willing to give up our degrees in order to follow Him. This has caused us to share our new beliefs with our teachers, to which there is much opposition, especially in the religion department! Mamma mia! We have spoken with a professor of Biblical Greek, Revelation, an expert on Ellen White's writings, and lately the professor of Church History.

But here we are in anticipation to see what our Creator is about to do. We are excited to follow Him all the way and to help wake up others with the help of the Holy Spirit. This has not been easy at all, but it is not as difficult as what our Saviour had to endure. It's worth it to us.
