MARK OF THE BEAST
Weighed in the Balances and Found Wanting

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 men.  

From his journey with the “Teacher” in Israel, Jonathan Cahn presents a marvelous narrative that will introduce this subject of “Weights of the Balance” 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.)

In the Grand Scheme of Things

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.  Our Creator changes not!

When it comes to fallen humanity on this earth, our Creator and Savior’s priority has always been about restoring and saving the souls of men and women.  In His great love and compassion, He has made every possible effort to save all who have ever been born. “For all are called, and yet few are selected.” (Matt. 22:14) They are not selected or chosen for His kingdom because they refuse Him and His STANDARD of weights and measures through 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.  This, he recorded by providing a storyline performed in real-time that delivered, through types and shadows, the 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 these tremendous efforts 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” and in place of YAHUAH Alahim.

So when individuals or societies set up standards of weights and measures that are entirely opposed to the standard provided by our Creator, in reality, they enter at 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 

Today, the whole world has entered into an unprecedented lockdown of sorts on behalf of the Covid19 Coronavirus.  It presents multiple problems on every level to individuals and to 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 the purpose of 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 here.

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.”  It is a vetting system for those who agree to the globalist terms of law, their own unique weights and measures. (Note, I am not saying the vaccine is the Mark.)

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. Yet, you won’t be forced because it is your choice as to which set of STANDARDS you will align your soul temple with.  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 JUST WEIGHTS AND MEASURES?  

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

To receive the MARK by aligning with the New World Order and its reorganized kingdom on earth, participants will be required to sacrifice truth, righteousness, and eternal life on the altar of some contrived set of weights and measures.  It is this mechanism and unholy alliance by which Satan and his followers are united and wholly separated from their maker and the Messiah’s saving blood sacrifice. This unholy set of weights and measures propel its inventors to some imagined godhood, through which the Mark of the Beast is finally sealed upon all its adherers. 

Some believe the Mark of the Beast will be the number 666 tattooed on the forehead. Others foresee a computer chip tracking device implanted in the hand. Still, others believe that your phone will be utilized to distinguish all the New World Order supporters. 

One Sabbatarian Church has long taught that the Mark of the Beast will come through a forced Sunday Law. A sign that gives honor to the Roman Catholic Church, its Pope, and the Papacy (Beast Power). Why? Because  the Roman Catholic Church claims “Sunday” is the MARK of their authority, in that they had the power to change the Creator’s holy worship day from “Saturday” to “Sunday.” All this on Constantine’s newly established Roman Julian/Gregorian calendar system (A.D. 325), entirely divorced from the New Moon and its lunar phases. Constantine and the Week 

As a result, some Sabbatarians teach as a fact that the antidote to receiving the Mark of the Beast is unequivocally and solely keeping holy “Saturday.” And this, as if it were the sacred Sabbath from creation when all along it has been the seventh day on a fraudulent replacement calendar created by the Roman Emperor Constantine. All because he hated the Jews and their Torah Laws of Old Testament Scriptures. Yet, this Sabbatarian church continues to claim “Saturday” is the Seal of God, albeit the seventh day of the same pagan Roman calendar invention that did not exist until A.D. 325.  Evidently, they remain under a moratorium on reading history, perhaps because it will expose their prophetess as a fraud. The Creed of Constantine

So the question remains, “Is the final test for mankind going to be between Saturday and Sunday, two manmade worship days of the fraudulent Roman calendar kind, neither of which is mentioned even once in Scripture, nor its continuous weekly cycle?”  No! No! A thousand times No!!!

Julian and Gregorian Roman Calendar Fraud

To the discerning eye, it is discovered that the Romans altered the Creator’s RIGHTEOUS STANDARD OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES to set themselves up as gods by changing the calendar twice and enforcing it with the right arm of Roman law. So, in reality, any day kept sacred on the Roman calendar, including Saturday, pays homage to the Papacy and its long-standing rebellion to the Yahuah Alahim, the Most High, and His Old Testament Torah Law. This is because the entire calendar system, with its nonconformist months (to Scripture’s lunar time-measuring) and the continuous weekly cycle, is one of the greatest yet deceitful witty inventions ever sold to mankind.

Both her months and week cycles were entirely and proactively divorced from the demarcation of the lunar phases.  Neither carries any ties today to the Torah Law of Scripture, nor to the trinity of lights ordained by the Creator in Genesis 1:14-16, but in fact, were designed to be in opposition to them as stated in the Creed of Constantine. Refer to the article, The Constantinian Creed.

Since that time, all the world has been compelled to believe the lie that the modern week cycle is in alignment with that of the Creator’s original and authentic calendar. Yet, calendar fraud has been one of the greatest deceptions of all time.  All the while, the Creator’s trinity of lights continues calling from above by way of the sun, moon, and stars for years beginning in spring, months starting on the full moon as the original New Moon of each lunar month, and weeks counted from each New Moon day, and days numbered from one full New Moon to the next for a total of 29 or 30 and commence at sunrise.  

Because paradigms run deep, even well-groomed false paradigms, many will believe that the antidote to receiving the MARK OF THE BEAST will be by keeping “Saturday” sacred, the seventh day of the Roman time-measuring system. Yet, it has been discovered that “Saturday” is just another spurious day on the same altered weekly cycle that was set up as a replacement week on a substitute Roman calendar. Through Julius Caesar, Emperor Hadrian, and later through Emperor Constantine, the calendar months and weeks were specifically designed to have nothing whatever in common with that of the moon, the creation week, or Scripture’s Torah Law.  

“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.

 

 

“The last universally binding decision of the Great Sanhedrin appeared in 358 CE, when the Hebrew Calendar was abandoned.”

You can find additional historical quotes at the end of this article, which reveal in detail the progressive movement of both the Romans and the Rabbinical Pharisee Jews to change the original and authentic calendar set forth at creation. Or, for a full record of the events, refer to the article, Stunning Historical Evidence. 

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 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, 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. But 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?  And, 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 not what you may think.  It is a specific lunar date that marks the moment when the sacred TIME and EVENT meet, just not Saturday, the seventh day of the Roman Beast solar 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. This day later became known as PASSOVER (Pasch).

This sacred lunar TIME & EVENT were ordained for all time as the SIGN of the promised Messiah. 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 lamb sacrifices since that first one were either 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, as 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 New Moon, 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” identify the authentic Messiah, Yahusha haMashiach, who died accordingly, fulfilled the foundational criteria upon the correct 14th day counted from the correct 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 that 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.

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, when 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!!!

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). Here, the Messiah’s blood sacrifice was designed to remain the brilliant 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. No animals must be sacrificed, for the celebration is about what Yahusha haMashiach and His shed blood.

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-part) 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 CHOOSE TO WORSHIP DETERMINES WHO YOU WORSHIP.  SO THE FINAL TEST OF LOYALTY FOR BOTH YAHUAH ALAHIM AND SATAN MAY BE OVER THE CHOICE OF CALENDAR, ITS NEW MOONS, AUTHENTIC LUNAR SABBATH, BUT ALSO HIS LUNAR APPOINTED FEAST DAYS, WHICH INCLUDE PASSOVER. Will you be loyal to the Creator and Savior, or to Satan, who is behind the LIE and monstrous counterfeit of ever-changing STANDARDS of WEIGHTS AND MEASURES? 

In A.D. 1582, with roots tied to Julius Caesar (45 B.C.) and Emperor Constantine (A.D. 325), the Roman Gregorian Calendar corrected its loss of ten days. Since then, it has replaced most of the world’s time-measuring systems with its solar-only model, entirely divorced from the moon.

All its units of time are substitutions, false weights, and measures never ordained by the Creator.  This includes every aspect of solar YEARS, MONTHS, WEEKLY CYCLES, DAYS, and when they begin, including all the Holy Day replacements with its pagan holidays.  Christmas is a pagan celebration of the birthdays of all the pagan gods. The Shocking Truth About Christmas.

The birth of the true Messiah, Yahusha haMashiach, must never be included in this cauldron of deceit. But 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 they 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, as well as many, many, who have passed away, having lived up to the light they knew. 

The pressure to conform will seem impossible to overcome as the laws will be passed whereby no one can buy or sell unless they go along with the New World Order’s system.  But just like with Yahuah 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 CALENDAR, AND 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.

“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.

“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”.
