MARK OF THE BEAST
Weighed in the Balances 

In the great controversy between good and evil, truth and error, both sides have been gearing up for the final showdown. The lines have been drawn. The LIGHT OF THE WORLD, YAHUSHA haMashiach (the Messiah), faces off against Satan and the forces of darkness. 

This short article highlights the vast contrast between the two entities, their objectives, and the provisional promises of Yahuah Alahim. These are provided through the concepts of weights and measures as they play into the role of The Mark of the Beast and the Seal of Yahuah Alahim (God). This battle is waged over the STANDARD OF TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS, the TORAH LAW of YAHUAH Alahim vs. the New World Order Laws, the falsified systems and witty inventions of demons and guardians of the lie.  

From his journey with the “Teacher” in Israel, Jonathan Cahn presents a marvelous narrative that will introduce this subject of “Weights of the Balances” in his Book of Mysteries, which I will expand upon.  

    The teacher led me into a chamber he had never shown me before.  It was illuminated by the light of oil lamps and filled with round stones of varying sizes.  We sat down at a small table.  He opened up a cloth bag filled with small stones and poured them out onto the tabletop.  They were round and light in color and each was engraved with what appeared to be ancient letters.

    “What are they?” I asked.

    “They are the Avanim, he said, the weights of the balance.  And this is the Chamber of Measures.  These were the measures and standards used in ancient times to determine values, weights, and quantities.”  He then took out a second bag and emptied its contents on the table. “These look the same as the others, but they’re not.  These are false measures, altered weights. The inscriptions have been changed so that they no longer match the weight of the stone. This one says shekel, but it weighs less than a shekel.  It would be used by a corrupt merchant to make an item appear to be heavier or greater than it was.  The merchant had redefined the measure to conform it to his will and desire.”

    He picked up one of the stones, then continued. “Altered and falsified weights not only apply to merchants, but also to corrupt civilizations.  When a civilization redefines its values, when it changes the meanings and definitions of reality away from YAHUAH Alahim (God) and away from the created order, when it alters the measures of morality, of right and wrong, to conform them to its will and desires, it is dealing in altered weights, false measures, deceptive balances.  It is turning the objective into the subjective, and man into their own god.”

    At that he emptied another bag of weights onto the table and began reading their inscriptions.  “This one says Good, and on the other side Evil.  This one says Life, and on the other side Death.  Another says Idol, and on the other side YAHUAH Alahim.  Male and female. . . sacred and profane. This one says Marriage.  And this one says Child in the Womb.  Each of these once Sacred according to Scripture, have become altered weights, false measures, changed values, signs of corruption.”

    “So how do you escape the corruption of altered weights?”

    “Never bend the truth to fit your own will. Bend your will to fit and align with the truth as it is in Scripture. Never alter the Word of YAHUAH Alahim to conform Him to your image; alter your ways to the WORD and conform your life to the image of YAHUAH Alahim.  Beware of false standards, and stay far from altered weights.” 

THE BOOK OF MYSTERIES,  The Avanim: Weights of the Balance, by Jonathan Cahn, p.148.  (Disclaimer: We are not followers of Jonathan Cahn.)

Only One Just Set of Weights and Measures

In the grand scheme, our Creator has established ONLY ONE JUST SET OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES (Deut. 25:14-16).  Its purpose is to guard you and me against the evil one and his end-time Mark of the Beast. This just set of weights and measures has always existed from eternity past, present, and into the future, for our Creator changes not! (Malachi 3:6).

Our Creator and Savior has always prioritized the restoration and salvation of fallen humanity. Together, in their boundless love and compassion, they have made every possible effort to redeem every soul ever born. As Scripture declares, “…many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). What this means is that all are called, but few choose Him. We know from other verses that Yahuah is no respecter of persons, choosing some and rejecting others. It is all about our choices. Most of the world will reject Him, turning away from His divine standard of righteousness by their own choices.

Salvation Proactively Provided

The Eternal Father accomplished Salvation by providing His STANDARD of just weights and measures first to Adam and Eve, who passed it down to their offspring, and later in written form by the hand of Moses in the Torah Law.  Then He provided a storyline performed in real-time that delivered, through types and shadows, the prophetic promise of the Messiah.  For this cause, the Temple services and their ceremonies were established. Its divine purpose was to share the poignant and prophetic time-centric events of Salvation’s Remedy, later to be performed by the long-promised Messiah.

Then 1,500 years later, in fulfillment of the first portion of the types and shadows, Yahuah Alahim actually sent His only begotten Son, YAHUSHA haMashiach, to this earth, the STANDARD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, the living and breathing divine JUST WEIGHT AND MEASURE.  He came to lay down His life as the bridge in Atonement, dying the second death for all sinners that they may choose Him, their only benefactor, as the singular way unto restoration and Redemption. 

Because of this tremendous provision performed by our loving and compassionate Creator and Savior, mankind has no excuse. In their freedom of choice, those who don’t seek or meet the STANDARD fail because they proactively choose the ever-popular substitute set of counterfeit weights and measures unto perdition. 

Substituting Weights and Measures 

All substitute weights and measures are corrupt and redefined, conforming to the desire of the unrepentant heart.  Without realizing it, this power play of the human heart sets him or herself above that of YAHUAH Alahim (God), becoming gods or idols unto themselves. Strikingly, this is exactly what Satan (Hillel) did, as recorded in Isaiah 14:12-15. Not only did Satan change the just weights and measures for sacred worship assembly times, but he set himself up to be worshiped as a “god” in place of YAHUAH Alahim.

So, when individuals or societies establish standards of weights and measures that are entirely opposed to the standard provided by our Creator, in reality, they enter the gate of the kingdom of Satan, abiding by his systems (Laws) of rebellion, worshiping self, to the honor of Satan.

First Stages of the New World Order 

As of today, the whole world has experienced an unprecedented lockdown of sorts due to the COVID-19 coronavirus.  It provides a window into what other such laws can be forced upon a defenseless world. It presents multiple problems at every level, affecting both individuals and society as we know it. It also provides an opportunity for the self-serving elite to propose and legislate a new set of worldwide values, STANDARDS OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES for vetting who they desire will be a part of the New World Order, their new kingdom.  We have all heard this was in the works for years.  So it should come as no surprise, except that it now appears to be looming on the horizon.

Revelation 13:16 records it this way:

“And He (Beast Power) causes ALL, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a MARK in their right hand or in their foreheads.”  Revelation 13:16

It is a vetting system for those who agree to the globalist terms of law, their own unique weights and measures for the world. 

Spiritual Battle Between Principalities and Powers

It all comes down to a spiritual battle between principalities and powers that will be waged in every heart for the souls of mankind (Ephesians 6:12). Satan and his standards of weights and measures against the CREATOR, who in His compassion has provided every opportunity for you to know Him, love Him, and follow Him by accepting His Son’s sacrificial death as a free gift of salvation, the living, breathing RIGHTEOUS STANDARD OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, ever faithful to His Torah Law.

The powers of earth will pressure all, both small and great, rich and poor, which will make your choice difficult to align your soul temple with Yahusha’s righteous standard.  Will it be the ONE who gave it all, including His SON’s life?  Or will you choose the self-serving created being who was cast out of heaven because of His never-ending rebellion to the YAHUAH ALAHIM’s KINGDOM, JUST WEIGHTS AND MEASURES?  

Some Believe Saturday is the Antidote to the Mark of the Beast

To align with the New World Order and its restructured global system, individuals will be required to compromise truth, righteousness, and eternal life, conforming to a fabricated system of weights and measures. This unholy alliance serves as the dividing line between those who remain faithful to their Creator and those who surrender to deception. It is through this very mechanism that Satan and his followers are united in complete separation from the Messiah’s redemptive sacrifice. This counterfeit system, built on falsehood, elevates its architects to an illusion of godhood, ultimately sealing its adherents under the Mark of the Beast.

There are varied interpretations of what this Mark of the Beast might be. Some envision it as the number 666 tattooed on the forehead, while others speculate it could be an implanted microchip or a tracking system tied to modern technology such as smartphones.

One Sabbatarian Church has long taught that the Mark of the Beast will be enforced through a compulsory Sunday Law, a decree that would honor the Roman Catholic Church, its Pope, and the Papacy (often identified as the Beast Power). This belief stems from the Catholic Church’s own claim that Sunday worship is the mark of its authority, having exercised the power to change the Creator’s ordained day of worship from the original Saturday Sabbath to Sunday. The claim is that this shift was officially established under Emperor Constantine’s Roman Julian/Gregorian calendar system in A.D. 325, which had no connection to the Creator’s ordained lunar calendar or its original and authentic lunar Sabbath, governed by the New Moon and its phases. Constantine and the Week 

Consequently, some Sabbatarians have concluded that the only safeguard against receiving the Mark of the Beast is the observance of Saturday as the holy Sabbath. However, this position rests on the assumption that Saturday is the original Sabbath of creation, despite the fact that it is merely the seventh day of a Roman calendar that did not exist in either name or rhythm until A.D. 325.

Constantine’s reforms, which sought to sever connections with Jewish Torah traditions, replaced the biblical lunar calendar with an uninterrupted weekly cycle divorced from the New Moon. Ironically, some Sabbatarian groups still uphold Saturday as the “Seal of God,” seemingly overlooking its original ties to the very Roman system they claim to reject. A deeper examination of history would challenge long-held assumptions and raise critical questions about the foundations of their prophetic interpretations. The Creed of Constantine

Thus, the central question remains: Will humanity’s final test truly be a choice between Saturday and Sunday, two days rooted in a calendar system never mentioned in Scripture? The answer is clear: Absolutely not!

The test of faith transcends man-made constructs, calling believers back to the Creator’s original design, a sacred rhythm of time established in the heavens, beyond the reach of earthly alterations that have been entirely divorced from the full moon. This is evident in the moon and its phases, which were ordained for counting years, months, weeks, and days.

Julian and Gregorian Roman Calendar Fraud

To the discerning eye, history reveals that the Romans deliberately altered the Creator’s righteous standard of timekeeping by redefining both the calendar and its measures of sacred time. Through a series of calculated changes, they divorced the appointed months and weeks from their original lunar moorings, replacing them with a continuous, unbroken cycle that neither honors the phases of the moon nor aligns with the Torah Law. The authority of Roman law enforced this counterfeit system and later solidified under ecclesiastical power, positioning the Papacy, and by extension, Satan, as the arbiters of sacred time. As a result, any day kept “holy” on this Roman construct, including Saturday, ultimately pays homage to this rebellious replacement and not to Yahuah, the Most High.

The Gregorian calendar we follow today, built upon Roman foundations and refined through Julius Caesar, Emperor Hadrian, and Constantine, bears no resemblance to the original time-measuring model given at Creation. It systematically removed the Creator’s ordained markers: the lunar months, the count of weeks from each Full New Moon, and the lunar appointed feast days governed by the sun, moon, and stars, the very timepieces declared in Genesis 1:14–16. This calculated overhaul was never neutral; it was designed to oppose Yahuah and all that He holds sacred, as stated in Constantine’s own creed. (Refer to the article, The Constantinian Creed.)

Since that time, “all the world” has been led to believe that the modern weekly cycle is aligned with the divine pattern, when in fact it stands in stark opposition. Calendar fraud, then, ranks among the most subtle yet far-reaching deceptions in human history. Yet, despite centuries of distortion, the Creator’s faithful witnesses, the sun, moon, and stars, continue to proclaim time along the east-west continuum. They testify of years beginning in spring, months commencing with the full New Moon, weeks counted from New Moon Day, and days measured from sunrise to sunrise, not sunset or midnight. (Refer to the article, Sunrise or Sunset—When Does the Day Begin?)

Tragically, due to deeply ingrained paradigms, many now believe that honoring “Saturday” is the ultimate safeguard against the Mark of the Beast. However, it has been shown that Saturday is merely another counterfeit within the Roman calendar’s altered framework. The true seventh-day Sabbath of Scripture cannot be found within this artificial system, for it was never governed by a perpetual cycle of weeks detached from the moon. Instead, the genuine Sabbath flows in harmony with the Creator’s celestial clock, a rhythm established in the beginning and still marked by His trinity of lights.

“In the mid-1st century B.C. [45 B.C.] Julius Caesar invited Sosigenes, an Alexandrian astronomer, to advise him about the reform of the calendar, and Sosigenes decided that the only practical step was to abandon the lunar calendar altogether. Months must be arranged on a seasonal basis, and a tropical [solar] year used, as in the Egyptian calendar, but with its length 365.25 days.” Encyclopedia Britannica, The Julian Calendar, Paragraph 1.  https://www.britannica.com/science/calendar/The-Western-calendar-and-calendar-reforms

“At the Council of Nice [Nicaea, A.D. 325] the last thread was snapped which connected  Christianity [Romanism] to its parent stock [the Old Testament Torah Law].  The festival of Easter had up till now been celebrated for the most part at the same time as the Jewish Passover [counted 14 days from the New Moon], and indeed upon the days calculated and fixed by the Synhedrion in Judea for its celebration; but in future its observance was to be rendered altogether independent of the Jewish [lunar appointed] calendar. ‘For it is unbecoming beyond measure that on this holiest of festivals we should follow the customs of the Jews.  Henceforward, let us have nothing in common with this odious people; our Savior has shown us another path.  It would indeed be absurd if the Jews were able to boast that we are not in a position to celebrate the Passover without the aid of their rules.‘ These remarks are attributed to the Emperor Constantine . . . [and became] the guiding principle of the [Christian] Church[s], which was now to decide the fate of the Jews [and their original lunar time-measuring system].’” Heinrich Graetz, History of the Jews, Vol. II, pp. 563-564.

But What About the Jews?

Following the Roman captivity of the Jews in A.D. 70, the Rabbinical Pharisees slowly began to take over the control of Judaism, ultimately ending the use of the Hebrew astro-luni-solar calendar, the SIGN of Yahuah Alahim’s faithful and obedient.

“With the destruction of the Temple (A.D. 70) the Sadducees disappeared altogether, leaving the regulation of all Jewish affairs in the hands of the Pharisees. Henceforth, Jewish life was regulated by the Pharisees; the whole history of Judaism was reconstructed from the Pharisaic point of view, and a new aspect was given to the Sanhedrin of the past. A new chain of tradition supplanted the older priestly tradition (Abot 1:1). Pharisaism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thought of the Jew for all the future.”“Pharisees,” The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol 9, [1901-1906 ed.], p. 666.

 

 

“Pharisaism became Talmudism…[but] the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered. When the Jew… studies the Talmud, he is actually repeating the arguments used in the Palestinian academies…The spirit of the [Pharisees’] doctrine has remained quick and vital.” Louis Finklestein, The Pharisees: The Sociological Background of their Faith, [Jewish Publication Society of America], Vol. 4, p. 1332.

NEWS FLASH! Neither Saturday nor Sunday can be found in the pages of Scripture, nor its seven-day cycling rhythm, which was utterly divorced from the count from the Full New Moon, a requirement necessary to align with the calendar of creation. Both days are equally pagan. Each was spuriously contrived upon the same rebellious Roman calendar model. Add to this that the continuous weekly cycle can NEVER be harmonized with the lunar week of creation for the very reason that the New Moon Day exists as a third kind of day, breaking the cycle every month, as evidenced in Psalms 104:19, Psalms 89:37, Leviticus 23, Isaiah 66:23, Ezekiel 46:1, 3.

So, to answer the question, “Can the final test for mankind be between Saturday and Sunday?” And is Saturday the antidote to receiving the Mark of the Beast? Absolutely not! These are both unholy days on a proactively corrupted Roman counterfeit time-measuring system. Refer to the article, The Creed of Constantine.

What is the Mark of the Beast?

The Mark of the Beast may be a combination of the choices you make to ignore the voice of Yahuah and Yahusha in your life and whatever method is chosen by Satan and His worldly powers that be to MARK his followers. These unbelievers will have fully rejected Yahusha haMashiach’s glorious saving atoning sacrifice for sin and instead have entered into an unholy alliance with the principles of darkness, with its corrupt weights and measures and its uniting calendar system. 

Receiving the Mark of the Beast will be entirely based on your own choices.  No one can give you the Mark.  Yet, if a physical Mark is given, it will be because you have submitted yourself to it. So, the MARK may be both self-induced and physical. It may be spiritually based upon your choices and then physically placed on your hand or forehead. Primarily, the Mark of the Beast symbolizes one’s own actions and decisions. The hand represents the actions, while the forehead signifies the choices. (Revelation 13:16)

Is the Authentic Lunar Sabbath the Antidote to the Mark of the Beast?

Now that both Saturday and Sunday have been discovered to be twin impostors on a rebelliously contrived Roman calendar, is it possible for the authentic lunar seventh-day Sabbath to be the authentic Seal of Yahuah Alahim (God), the ordained antidote to the Mark of the Beast? NO!!!

Is it recorded anywhere in Scripture that a DAY was preordained to be the SIGN, SEAL, and REMEDY of SALVATION and the antidote for SIN? YES, but only because it marks the exact day of the year and month that the Messiah laid down His life for you and me. That “DAY” is PASSOVER, the 14th day counted from Rosh Hashanah and the full Moon in spring. It is the specific lunar date that marks the moment when the sacred time and event meet, having nothing whatsoever to do with the Roman Beast Power’s Saturday or Sunday or any part of their replacement calendar. 

What is the Authentic Seal of Yahuah Alahim? 

Scripture emphatically declares exactly what has always been “THE SIGN AND SEAL OF YAHUAH ALAHIM.”

When Adam and Eve sinned in Eden, the promise of restoration and Salvation was enacted by way of a SACRIFICIAL LAMB on the specific time-centric day, the 14th of Abib, in the first lunar month of the first lunar year. Later, this day became known as PASSOVER (Pasch).

This sacred lunar TIME & EVENT was ordained for all time as the SIGN of the promised Messiah and His magnificent sacrifice for sin and forgiven sinners. After that first lamb was slain in the Garden of Eden, its skins were then lovingly placed upon our first humble confessing parents as symbolic Robes of His Righteousness. In this way, they were “covered by the blood of the lamb,” the REMEDY and its inherent promise of salvation.

All the Passover lamb sacrifices since that first one were located on the 14th of Abib and/or symbolized the promised Messiah’s great sacrifice, who was to lay down His life as the Atonement of the sins of all mankind. PASSOVER, the 14th DAY counted from the New Moon, was the specific lunar appointed date that fulfilled the promise. Therefore, this sacred TIME and EVENT was preordained as the SIGN & SEAL of YAHUAH ALAHIM (the Most High) and His faithful and obedient followers throughout history, before and after the cross.  The authentic Messiah’s covering for sin and the Seal of His promise to SAVE is found on one day only. And that day is Passover (Pasch), the 14th day counted from the full moon, the start of years and months in spring. HalleluYAH!

The authentic PASSOVER was dually tied to both TIME and EVENT, as it was consistently the 14th DAY counted from the first full New Moon in spring, a dual set of foundational criteria for locating it accurately. Anything short of utilizing the correct calendar model for locating the 14th day counted from the full New Moon would end in error. If one utilized the Roman solar calendar, they would have no New Moon marker from which to begin the count. If a person utilized one or another of the Yahudim (Jewish) calendars of today that commence with either a dark or crescent lunar phase as the New Moon (unscriptural start of the months), they would end up missing their mark of locating the real PASSOVER by anywhere from 15 to 45 days.

Only one correct use of the astro-luni-solar calendar contained the signature of the Creator, Yahuah Alahim, and will locate His true PASSOVER. And greater still, together, the correct TIME & EVENT “SEAL” identifies the authentic Messiah, Yahusha haMashiach, who died accordingly and fulfilled the foundational criteria upon the correct 14th day counted from the proper New Moon.  It wasn’t until 2012 that the correct New Moon and its start of lunar months was discovered to be the full moon after all. For more details on the full moon as the original start of months, refer to  Support Evidence for the Full Moon as the Original New Moon of Scripture. 

A “DAY” cannot save anyone, but only the crimson blood of our Messiah, YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH, as highlighted on a specific time-centric day, can.  He has called His faithful and obedient to celebrate PASSOVER every year in a week-long Feast Celebration, beginning on the 14th day of the First Lunar Month, counted from the New Moon, in honor of SALVATION’S MOST MAGNIFICENT EVENT, HIS BLOOD SACRIFICE for you and me.

He paid the price upon the cross so you and I may be forgiven and restored to the Father and live eternally. He alone met the preordained lunar-appointed PASSOVER criteria, dying between the evenings on the 14th day counted from the full moon, the day that type met antitype. The 4,000-year-old prophecy of the long-promised lamb was fulfilled exactly.

YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH, ALONE, IS THE SAVIOR WHO SAVED MANKIND ON PASSOVER THE 14th COUNTED FROM THE FULL NEW MOON DAY! Thus, PASSOVER, identifying our MESSIAH’S GREAT SACRIFICE, is the SIGN and SEAL OF YAHUAH ALAHIM (God). It alone is the antidote to SIN, SICKNESS, REBELLION, DEATH, and receiving the MARK OF THE BEAST!!!  HALLELUYAH!!! Here is what Scripture has to say:

It [Passover] shall be for a SIGN to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes [forehead] that Yahuah’s Torah Law [of instruction] may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand Yahuah has brought you out of Egypt. You shall therefore keep this ordinance [Passover] in its season [#4150 mo’edah – lunar appointed time] from year to year. Exodus 13:9-10

Nearly six thousand years ago, the SIGN AND SEAL “on your hand and memorial between your eyes” was divinely ordained to be PASSOVER (PASCH), as first set forth in Eden. Here, the Messiah’s blood sacrifice was designed to remain the Creator’s antidote to the Mark of the Beast to the very END OF TIME. Through the process of confession and forgiveness, and celebrating it every year, sins are forgiven and removed as far as the East is from the West. Once our Messiah laid down His life for sin, no more animals must be sacrificed, for the celebration is about what Yahusha haMashiach and His shed blood accomplished for all mankind who seek forgiveness and restoration to the Most High Father.

Passover covers the actions symbolized by the hand and the choices symbolized by the forehead. This lunar prophetic event has always been the time-centric SIGN and SEAL of the true Messiah and Savior since the first lamb sacrifice in Eden.  It was renewed to Yasharal (Israel) at the time of Moses as a Kadosh (holy, sacred, and set apart) lunar appointed Feast Day to be celebrated yearly. Those today who continue to celebrate PASSOVER on earth on the 14th day counted from the full New Moon identify themselves as those grafted into Yasharal (Israel), Yahusha’s faithful and obedient. These are they who hear the voice of their Master and long for His forgiveness and Robes of Righteousness to cover them. They are SEALED by the PASSOVER SACRIFICE into His full and ETERNAL RESTORATION, of which neither SATAN nor the MARK OF THE BEAST has ANY POWER.  HALLELUYAH!!!

For more details on this magnificent subject of Passover, refer to the article, Passover, the True Sign and Seal of Yahuah. 

Unholy Alliance with Unholy Days

“When” you worship determines whom you worship. This truth underscores the profound reality that the final test of loyalty, whether to Yahuah Alahim or to Satan, may very well center upon which calendar governs your worship. It involves not only recognizing the true New Moons, the authentic lunar Sabbaths, and the sacred Feast Days outlined in the Torah, but also includes the precise timing of appointed assemblies, such as Passover. In this great cosmic contest, will your allegiance rest with the Creator and Redeemer who established His time system in the heavens, or with the adversary who engineered a counterfeit through ever-shifting standards of weights and measures?

In A.D. 1582, the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, a revision rooted in the earlier reforms of Julius Caesar (45 B.C.) and solidified under Emperor Constantine (A.D. 325), sought to correct a ten-day drift in the Julian calendar. Yet, in doing so, it cemented a solar-only timekeeping system that is wholly severed from the moon’s ordained role in measuring sacred time. This new model systematically replaced the Creator’s original lunar-solar calendar with one built upon the traditions and authority of man.

Every unit of this Roman system, its years, months, weeks, and days, represents a departure from the divinely ordained timepiece revealed in Genesis 1:14–16. It substitutes true markers with false weights and measures, violating the principle outlined in Leviticus 19:35–36, which commands just balances and just measures. Moreover, it replaces the Creator’s holy convocations with pagan observances, dressing them in Christian terminology while preserving their idolatrous roots. One such example is Christmas, which, despite its modern appeal, is a veiled celebration of the birthdays of pagan deities, not the Messiah of Scripture. (Refer to: “The Shocking Truth About Christmas.”)

The birth of the true Messiah, Yahusha haMashiach, must never be included in this December 25 cauldron of deceit. Don’t be fooled, the personage known as Jesus Christ, who died on a Friday, and rose on a Sunday morning, is just another re-imagined Roman pagan god. Constantine’s Creation of Jesus Christ 

On the other hand, Yahusha haMashiach, the authentic Messiah’s real prophetic birthday, has been found. The details of which identify whether you serve the true or the fraudulent Redeemer of mankind. One birth is celebrated on December 25, and the other is only found on a lunar calendar. Discover how Scripture provides the evidence for our Messiah’s authentic birthday. Our Messiah’s True Prophetic Birthday

Align Your Heart with His Today

Many who lack discernment will go along with this New World Order regime, submitting to whatever its leaders require, but in the Kingdom of Yahusha, the Messiah will have a people who will be faithful to Him alone. They will be tenderly cared for and guided through all the obstacles by faith, surviving to the end. For we know that He will be returning for His faithful people who are alive and well, along with many who have passed away, having lived up to the light they knew. 

The pressure to conform will seem impossible to overcome, as laws will be passed that require everyone to comply with the New World Order’s system to buy or sell. But just like with our faithful Yahuah Alahim leading Yasharal (Israel) out of Egypt, He parted the sea (Exodus 14:21-22), He provided manna from heaven (Exodus 16:15), and water from a rock (Exodus 17:6), and He will do no less for you.  He has even promised that your bread and water will be sure (Isaiah 33:16). 

These events from the past were recorded for such a time as this to give you and me hope, courage, power, and the knowledge that HE WILL SAVE US!!!  FOR WE ARE THE APPLE OF HIS EYE!  HE WILL PROTECT YOU AND GUIDE YOU WITH THE RIGHT HAND OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!

HIS RETURN WILL NOT BE FOR NAUGHT! HIS FAITHFUL, WHO ARE COVERED BY HIS BLOOD, HIS ROBES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WILL BE ALIVE AND WELL. THEY WILL BE SYNCHRONIZING THEIR SOUL TEMPLES TO HIS PREORDAINED LUNAR CALENDAR, WHICH HIGHLIGHTS PASSOVER, THE 14TH DAY COUNTED FROM THE NEW MOON OF THE FIRST MONTH OF SPRING. FOR THIS IS THEIR SIGN, AND THIS ALONE IS THEIR SEAL OF FAITHFULNESS! ONLY IN THIS WAY DO THEY ILLUSTRATE THE RECEIVED GIFT OF FOLLOWING THE LAMB WHITHERSOEVER HE GOES. HALLELUYAH!!! 

Now is the time to make an extra effort to seek YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH (the Messiah) while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near (Isaiah 55:6). Choose to align your heart to His, the one who died that you may have LIFE and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Confess your sins, that you may receive pardon, for He is faithful to forgive (1John 1:9).  For if you are YAHUSHA haMashiach’s (Messiah’s), then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29).  HalleluYAH!!!

“To the TORAH LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”  Isaiah 8:20

 

“Here is the patience [peace/shalom] of the saints [righteous/zadok], here are they that honor the TORAH LAW [of instruction] of YAHUAH Alahim, and have the TESTIMONY of [YAHUSHA the Messiah].” Revelation 14:12

Additional Historical Quotes – Highlighting how the Calendar was changed:

“In the years following Clement of Alexandria’s time (A.D. 150-215), an ominous change started to take place that was to radically change the Christian concept of the Sabbath.” This intimate connection between the week and the month was soon dissolved. It is certain that the week soon followed a development of its own, and it became the custom — without paying any regard to the days of the month (i.e. the luni-solar month) . . . so that the New Moon no longer coincided with the first day of the month.   Then, on page 4179 of the same encyclopedia, we read: “The introduction of the custom of celebrating the Sabbath every 7th day, irrespective of the relationship of the day to the moon’s phases, led to a complete separation from the ancient [original] view of the Sabbath…Encyclopaedia Biblica, 1903 p. 5290.

 

“Even after Constantine’s edict about Sunday (circa A.D. 321-324), it took another generation or two for the seven-day week to catch on throughout the empire. The 24-hour system took longer, having to wait until the invention of the mechanical clock in the Middle Ages by monks anxious to observe with precision their canonical hours. Before this, people marked the passage of time during the night by using the stars and during the day either by eyeballing the sun or by listening to public announcements of the time.” Calendar, David Ewing Duncan, p. 47, New York, Avon Books, 1998.

 

“The invention of the continuous week was therefore one of the most significant breakthroughs in human beings’ attempts to break away from being prisoners of nature [the Creator’s ordained time-model beaconed by the ordained sun, moon, and stars] and create a social world of their own.” The Seven Day Circle: The History and Meaning of the Week, Eviator Zerubavel, New York: The Free Press, 1985. p.11.

 

“Most theologians and some scholars assume that mainstream Jewish society, at the time of Jesus . . . was practicing a fixed   seven-day week which was the same as the modern fixed [Roman planetary cycling] seven-day week. This is extremely doubtful. The change, from a lunar to a fixed week, was brought about by the power and influence of Rome. As long as the Nazarenes [quartodecimen] held power in Jerusalem, all Roman practices and customs, including that of the consecutive week, were held at bay.” Shawui Sabbath: Ancient Sabbath Observance

 

“The [early and faithful] Hebrews employed lunar seven-day weeks, which ended with special observances on the seventh day, but none the less were tied to the moon’s course.” Rest Days, Hutton Webster, p. 254-255

 

“He [Constantine] wished, almost the necessity, of so keeping Easter as to make the day of crucifixion Friday, and of the resurrection Sunday, caused differences of opinion that led to persecution and bloodshed.” Mazzaroth, The Constellations, Frances Rolleston, p. 133. Rivingtons, London, 1862.

 

“The Jewish festivals being regulated solely by the moon, may fall on any day of the [modern Roman] week.” Oxford English Dictionary, 1971 Edition, Vol. 2, “Pentecost.”

 

“Intercalations [of the calendar] were determined at meetings of a special commission of the Sanhedrin. But Constantius, following the tyrannous precedents of Hadrian, prohibited the holding of such meetings…How difficult the fixing of the annual calendar consequently became may be judged from an enigmatic letter addressed to Raba . . . and preserved in the Talmud . . . Almost the whole Diaspora depended for the legal observance of the feasts and [New Moon] fasts upon the calendar sanctioned by the Judea Sanhedrin; yet danger threatened the participants in that sanction and the messengers who communicated their decisions to distant congregations… As the religious persecutions continued, Hillel II determined to provide an authorized calendar for all time to come, though by so doing he severed the ties which united the Jews of the Diaspora to their mother country and to the patriarchate.” I. Singer and S. Mendelsohn, “Hillel II, www.JewishEncyclopedia.com.

 

“The modern seven-day week came into use during the early imperial period, after the Julian calendar came into effect, apparently stimulated by immigration from the Roman East. For a while it coexisted alongside the old 8-day nundinal cycle, and fasti are known which show both cycles. It was finally given official status by Constantine in 321.”  Roman Calendar Encyclopedia, Days of the Week.

Edited by Isidore Singer, Cyrus Adler. Volume 10, p. 590.

 

“It is certain that the Jews celebrated the sheaf-waving on Nisan 16 and Pentecost on the fiftieth day after . . . without regard in either case to the day of the [modern Roman] week.” Oxford English Dictionary, 1971 Edition, Vol. 2, “Pentecost.”

 

“We shall be taken for Persians [Mithraists], perhaps . . . The reason for this, I suppose, is that it is known that we pray towards the east . . . Likewise, if we devote the day of the Sun to festivity (from a far different reason from Sun worship), we are in a second place from those who devote the day of Saturn, themselves also deviating by way of a Jewish custom of which they are ignorant.”Tertullian, Apologia.

 

The weeks do not continue in a regular cycle regardless of the moon. Each month has four weeks, their beginning with the New Moon. I have no doubt that this was the old Hebrew system. Babylonian Menologies and the Semitic Calendars, p. 89.

 

“It should be noted that the oldest dated Christian inscription to employ a planetary designation [Sunday – Saturday, unbroken cycle of weeks] belongs to the year 269 A.D.” Inscriptiones Christianae Urbis Romae, ed. De Rossi, 1861, i, No. 1.

 

“The present Jewish calendar was fixed [to the Roman planetary weekly cycle] in the fourth century.”  Jewish Theological Seminary of America, Letter by Louis Finkelstein to Dr. Leroy E. Froom, Feb. 20, 1939.

 

“There was a distinct break between the Old Testament requirements…dealing with the Sabbath worship… They wanted to show that Christianity was distinct from Judaism… The other thing that we should remember, too, is that our calendar that we follow, including Seventh-day Adventists, is not only a calendar that was devised by the Catholic Church, but also it is a calendar that’s based upon the solar year, not the lunar year. The Jewish calendar that was observed in the time of Christ follows a lunar [lunisolar] calendar… So the great irony is that even the Seventh-day Adventists themselves are not worshiping on exactly the same Sabbath day as the Jews of the time of Christ.”Patrick Madrid, Catholic Evangelist and conservative made the startling comment on EWTN, Global Catholic Radio Network on Jan 5, 2006 when answering a question about the Catholic Church changing the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday.

“In AD 351-352 Roman persecution flared and the Jews revolted.  They were soon crushed.  Many Jewish towns were destroyed and decrees issued against the local authorities and against Judaism.  The privileges of the head of the Sanhedrin and the freedoms of the Sanhedrin itself were curtailed. Roman pressure to conform “Jewish” TIME to Roman TIME had reached crisis level. ibid

 

Under this pressure Hillel II agreed to limit the functions of the head of the Sanhedrin, as well as the Sanhedrin itself, with respect to proclaiming the New Moon, setting festival dates, and employing intercalation [inserting the 13^th lunar month].  With the decline of the Jewish power-base in Israel, the Jewish community in Babylon had been rising in influence to fill the vacuum. Hillel II published details informing all Jews of the methods of the [new] calculated calendar developed in Babylon.  From that time on the Sanhedrin in Judea ceased to function or to maintain calendar experts.  Hillel II is thus given the credit for the present fixed Rabbinical calendar, but in reality it originated in Babylon and was just the starting point of the development of the Rabbinical calendar in use today.” Encyclopedia Judaica, s.v. “Hillel”.
