The Lying Pen of Deceitful Scribes

Jeremiah 8:8-9

This Hebrew interlinear word study highlights a striking example of the enemy’s proactive agenda. Scripture warns us in Isaiah 14:12-16 and Daniel 7:25 that the adversary’s primary target for destruction would be the Creator’s sacred times and laws. This means that alterations to His appointed times would include distortions of His original calendar, namely, the authentic Full New Moon Day, the lunar seventh-day Sabbaths, and the lunar-appointed Feast Days. Likewise, changes to His laws would encompass modifications to His Torah instructions, which ultimately direct us to the Ten Commandments. Given this reality, it should not be an overwhelming surprise that Scripture itself has undergone alterations, some of which have been carried out through the lying pen of scribes (Jeremiah 8:8).

If the enemy of souls could manipulate Scripture and then persuade the majority of Bible believers and churches that no such changes have ever taken place, could he cause them to tenaciously cling to false teachings and resist the Eternal Father’s final call to restoration at the end of time? Absolutely.

Though much of the world remains unaware, could this deception ultimately influence who is saved and who is lost? Without question.

Could it be that something of this import to Satan provides us a clue that it must be of extreme relevance to Yahuah Alahim and His followers at the end of time? Yes!

Lies Instituted by the Lying Pen of Deceitful Scribes

 

“How can we determine wise administrators for ourselves and the Torah Law and other prophetic teachings of Yahuah with certainty? Behold and know that LIES have been instituted and maintained by the pen of deceitful scribes.” Jeremiah 8:8

In verse 8, the question is raised by Jeremiah (YerimiYah) as to how mankind can determine who the wise administrators (guardians of Yahuah’s truths) are and who are not. Then, he immediately provides the answer. “Behold and know lies have been instituted and maintained by the pen of deceitful scribes.” Therefore, this was already a problem in Jeremiah’s day, and he was giving us a heads-up that it would continue until the end of time. So, might there be many more alterations in our Scriptures than existed in his day? Yes.  These two verses clarify for the record that we are without excuse for knowing the full intentions of Satan, the arch-enemy of Yahuah.

We are given ample warning both in Daniel 7:25 and here in Jeremiah 8:8-9 that, indeed, the enemy of souls’ target is twofold. From Daniel, we find it includes both the TIMES and LAWS of Yahuah Alahim, which are all recorded in the Torah Law of Instructions, the first five books of the Bible.  

If Satan and his agencies (Jewish and Roman leaders and scribes) can obscure Yahuah’s plan for a full and complete restoration of confessing sinners back to the Father, then can he keep them from the free gift of eternal life?  No doubt, this would cause great sorrow to the heavenly Father and Son.

They Seized and Damaged His Word

From my earliest memories, I was taught in church and Bible school that Scripture is error-free and that it has been perfectly preserved throughout the ages. Perhaps this was your experience as well. However, according to these two verses in Jeremiah and others, Scripture, its Torah, and Prophecies have all been targets of the enemy. 

“They have caused confusion and brought shamefulness with crafty skill and cunning, and they have seized and damaged His Word.  They have despised and rejected Yahuah with skillful schrewdness.” Jeremiah 8:9

In verse 9, it states, “They have caused confusion and brought shamefulness with crafty skill and cunning, and they have seized and damaged His Word. They have despised and rejected Yahuah with skillful shrewdness.”  So the question is, what part of the Word did they confuse, damage, and seize? 

How to Distinguish Truth From Error?

It appears that this question is raised by Jeremiah because lies have been instituted and maintained by the pen of the scribes through deceitfulness in Scripture, even in his day. Therefore, how is anyone able to know what is true and what is in error? To answer this question, we must first recognize the distinction between the Ten Commandments, the Torah Law, and Grace, along with their unified purpose in defining the pathway of Salvation. 

The Pragmatic Distinctions Between the Ten Commandments, the Torah Law, and Grace Unto Salvation

• Ten Commandments = Yahuah Alahim’s Eternal Standard of Righteousness from which mankind has fallen. This existed in eternity’s past, continues to exist in the present, and will continue in eternity’s future. It is Eternal and forever the manifest character of the Yahuah Alahim, the Creator of the Universe. 

• The Torah Law = The pathway, mechanism, and promise of Salvation set forth to restore sinners back to Yahuah Alahim, the Most High, and His Eternal Standard of Righteousness. 1) By instructing us on how far we have fallen from His Righteous Standard. 2) He instructed us how to synchronize our Soul Temples to His by honoring His ordained sacred: New Moon Days, lunar Sabbaths, and lunar appointed Feast Days. In this way, we have a part to play through synchronized faithfulness to keeping His ordained holy days that are prophecies of the time-centered ministry of the Messiah on our behalf. In this way, we show the Father our heart’s desire and intention to be restored to His Eternal Standard of Righteousness.

• Grace = The fulfillment of the promise of complete restoration to Yahuah’s Eternal Standard of Righteousness. Grace only comes through the preordained provision of the Messiah’s shed blood for us. He alone is the provision and substitute, the long promised Messiah, the Lamb of Alahim. He alone took upon Himself our confessed sins and died the second death in our place so that we may have eternal life. This provision of Grace is only applied to those who seek forgiveness for sin and choose faithfulness to the instructions and pathway set forth in the Torah Law. When these criteria are met, Grace is applied. While He has made provision for all to be saved through His blood sacrifice, only those who reach out and accept the provision that comes with the criteria will receive it.

“But as for you, stand here by me, and I will speak unto you all the 1) commandments, and 2) the statutes, and 3) the judgments, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.  You shall observe to do therefore as Yahuah your Alahim/Elohim has commanded you: You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.  You shall walk in all the ways which Yahuah your Alahim/Elohim has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.” Deuteronomy 5:31-33

The Ten Commandments have existed from eternity past with Yahuah Alahim. But the Torah Law and Grace never existed until sin entered and a plan of restoration was implemented. Therefore, the Torah Law and Grace are a package deal for sinners, an all-inclusive set of criteria that must be met in order to be saved.

The Torah Law and Grace Work Together. The Torah Law is NOT obsolete, but it functions as a mirror to expose sin, leading people to repentance and receive the Messiah’s Grace. The Torah Law reveals the disease (sin), while Grace through Yahusha provides His own Robe of Righteousness to cover our sin, the cure, and the power to walk in righteous doing.

Thus, rather than abolishing the Torah Law, Grace upholds it by enabling believers who are covered by His blood to live according to its righteous standard through love and gratitude for forgiveness (Romans 3:31 – “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.”).

The Torah Law and Grace are the two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other. One is the Promise, and the other is the Provision to restore sinners back to the Eternal Standard of Righteousness (The Ten Commandments), which represents the character of Yahuah Alahim. Refer to Law vs. Grace—An Oxymoron.

Once we have a full and complete understanding of the Ten Commandments, the Torah Law, and Grace, as clarified above, we are fortified with the TRUTH. We can recognize both the overt and covert ways Satan seeks to undermine and destroy the pathway for sinners unto Salvation. 

Satan’s Sworn Target

And perchance that humanity should ever forget the ancient and infamous oath sworn by Satan against Yahuah Alahim, the Most High, declaring that He would one day sit in the place of Yahuah Alahim. This was recorded by the prophet Isaiah for posterity and as a testimony that you and I may not be deceived.

“How have you fallen from the shamayim (heaven), O Hillel הילל (Lucifer – Latin insert), son of the morning?  How were you sent down to the earth, which didst weaken the nations? 

For you have said in your heart,

‘I will ascend into the shamayim (heavens),

I will exalt my throne above the stars of Alahim/Elohim (God): 

I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,

in the sides of the north: 

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;

I will be like the Most High.’ 

Yet, you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the pit. Those who see you will gaze at you, and consider you, saying, ‘Is this the man that made the earth tremble, and shook kingdoms…”  YashaYAHU (Isaiah) 14:12-16

The Mount of the Congregation in the Sides of the North

Although recorded in Scripture, there are a few statements, as in the verses above, that have remained a mystery to all within the Christian denominations with regard to their true intended meaning. Why? Because the time-measuring systems of Earth have been altered, the principles of how our Creator’s original time model worked have been wholly lost to most of us.

When we consider our time-measuring paradigms today, we look to our clock, wristwatch, smartphone, calendar on the wall, or computer. Most of us don’t use sundials or measure the alignments of the sun, moon, and stars to measure time. Seldom do we even look up and discern the shamayim (heavens). But if we did, it would likely be without understanding. For all the world has been taught and has followed an unauthorized craftsman’s altered and spurious starting points, determined to replace those of our Creator’s original. So what do the mysterious recorded words of Lucifer (Hillel) reveal about our Creator’s Calendar? 

By utilizing multiple Hebrew dictionary/concordance sources, we can deduce the following intended narrative of Satan’s pompous declaration:

• “I will sit upon the mount of the congregation”. . . This means Hillel (הילל – Lucifer is a Latin replacement term for Hillel/Satan) will exalt His position by utilizing an alteration of Yahuah Alahim’s preordained (#4150 mo’edim – מועדים) lunar appointed times for Mt. Zion. He will replace lunar Feast Days (Holy Days) with his own time-measuring system for worship assemblies and set up “holidays” in honor of pagan times and events. Sound familiar? In other words, he planned to set up his own time-measuring system with his own “holidays.” His purpose is to receive the worship due to the Creator by mixing truth with error, regarding the Creator’s New Moons, lunar seventh-day Sabbaths, and lunar appointed times for Feast Day events. This altered time system would ultimately cause the Messiah’s followers to be out of sync with the prescribed and ordained worship rhythm.

• “In the sides of the north” . . . (#3411 Yerekah ירכה – sides – rear flank) (#6828 tsaphon צפון – north) This is a clarifying statement specifically regarding the method Hillel (Lucifer) chose to utilize for receiving worship by employing a skewed TIME-MEASURING system as a replacement of Yahuah Alahim’s preordained and eternal model.

All the Creator’s time units were measured by the principal movements of the full light of the sun by day and the brilliant full moon as the New/Renewed Moon, together with the stars by night.  Each of these LIGHTS was divinely designed to rule TIME along the east-to-west time continuum, whether by day or by night.  So no matter where you are located upon the face of the earth, the river of TIME always flows from east to west “in the sides of the north” by day and by night as produced by the visible sun, visible full moon, and visible starry constellations for time measuring. Through this method, the authentic New Moon Day, lunar seventh-day Sabbaths, and lunar appointed Feast Days were ordained. 

The prophet Ezekiel tells us exactly what “the sides” of the north represent:

“…FOR THESE ARE HIS SIDES, EAST AND WEST…”  Ezekiel (Yahchezq’El) 48:1

So we discover that Hillel’s (Satan/Lucifer) plan from the beginning was to destroy all knowledge and understanding of the Creator’s original time-measuring model and set up an artificial replacement in its place. Has this been accomplished?

Yes, his multiple time-measuring models that started in ancient Babylon bear no relation to the Creator’s original and authentic lunar model beconed by the full moon for the start of years, months, and counting of days and weeks. Through the Roman calendar, the moon was eliminated. Through the modern Rabbinical Pharisee system, the opposite dark or crescent moon was adopted as the New Moon, altering the modern Jew’s time-measuring system by 180 degrees. Add to this that the Jews were pressured to accept the new Roman continuous weekly cycle with Saturday as the seventh day. Because the Romans had removed the moon from the count of days each month, Saturday would only occasionally occur on the Creator’s lunar seventh-day Sabbath. 

Messiah’s Role with the Law and the Prophets

Over 600 years later, as recorded in Matthew 5:17, the promised Messiah declared, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets (and/or prophecies). I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” 

This verse defines that the Torah Law (books of Moses) and the Prophets of the Old Testament both held the foundation of prophecy to be fulfilled by Him alone. It also could have been stated as the Torah Law and its prophecies (prof-ay-tace #4396). By placing the correct word “prophecy” into the sentence instead, the sentence takes on a fuller and more precise meaning. The Messiah was sharing a truth that He was in the flesh, the fulfillment and ratification of ALL the Old Testament and Old Covenant prophesies regarding Himself. Collectively, these were all about Him. 

In His life, He was to fulfill, to the very detail, every purpose of the Torah Law according to the preordained rhythm of the astro-luni-solar Temple services, for which he came to Earth to die for mankind.  Thus, through His endorsement, it became self-evident that these laws, statutes, judgments, and astro-luni-solar time are ALL eternal principles that will NEVER pass away. 

The Beginning and Not the End

Together, these clarified that the Messiah’s work on Earth was not the end of His ministry but the first step in the entire process foretold according to the prophetic lunar appointed order of the sacred Feast Day rehearsals.   

According to Satan’s (Hillel, Lucifer) statement, to be like the Most High, he had to convince the world that the Messiah’s work on the cross/stake was the end of the Torah Law and the prophets and everything relating to the Old Covenant.  If he could make it appear all things previously ended, then everyone, including the so-called scholars, teachers, and preachers, would, by default, preach a different gospel, one without the foundation of truth or His sacred lunar calendar.

A Distorted Gospel

It would be a gospel so distorted that it no longer acknowledges sin or the sinner’s need for repentance. Such a message would disregard the call to approach the throne of grace, where the promised Messiah—alive and ever-present—stands ready to receive all who come to Him in humility. In other words, the would-be followers of Messiah would not be prepared to receive Salvation or be restored to Yahuah Alahim, the Most High. Yet, as long as we have breath, He is calling all who have “eyes to see and ears to hear” to come out of the false systems of worship. For only through His perfect sacrifice, He offers forgiveness to those who humbly confess their sins that they may be restored to the Father of all and His Eternal Standard of Righteousness to those who seek Him in truth.

Not One Jot, Nor Tittle Changed

This line of thought continues in Matthew 5:18, where the Messiah, Yahusha, has given a promise, “… Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Torah Law, till all be fulfilled.”  So, here we have it on the highest authority from the Messiah, that nothing shall be changed or removed by the hand of either the Father, Yahuah, or by Himself, our Messiah, regarding the Torah Law, which includes the statutes, judgments, astro-luni-solar calendar time, or the prophecies regarding Himself.  Thus, if we see in Scripture or hear from the pulpits that the Torah Law and the Prophets (or prophecies) ended at the cross, we can be sure this is the work of Satanic agencies, not sanctioned by the Most High, Yahuah Alahim.

In addition, when we read in Scripture things that misrepresent Yahuah’s eternal truths in a false light, creating conflict between the Old Testament and the New, we know this is part of the proactive assault by the enemy of souls. Always follow the Torah Law and the Prophets of old, as these are the foundation of truth. 

By far, the easiest way to dumb down the Scriptures is when translating from one language to another.  So much is naturally lost from language to language, but when accompanied by a proactive plan to alter the truth for an adopted lie, this only compounds the distortions. It is, therefore, imperative to seek the original text as far as possible. 

Perhaps nothing short of researching each word one at a time in a Hebrew Dictionary/Concordance, as done in this article, will restore what has been lost to Yahuah’s TRUTHS and His original TIMES and LAWS. The prophetic promises are only fulfilled by the true Messiah, our sacrifice, and today, our abiding High Priest in the courts above. 

The Correctories of Rome 

Based on substantial historical evidence, I believe that Scripture and many ancient manuscripts underwent early alterations at the hands of both Jewish and Roman scribes. During the 300 years between the Messiah’s crucifixion and the Council of Nicaea (321–325 A.D.), a group of appointed correctors was tasked with modifying Biblical texts and historical records. Their objective was to create harmony between pagan traditions, Scripture, and the timeline of the Messiah’s death and resurrection.

Even the sacred name of the Messiah was replaced with that of a false deity, effectively leading all of Christendom to unknowingly venerate a god of Rome’s design. This is just a glimpse of the broader historical evidence. This process appears to have continued into the 13th century under what became known as the Correctories of Rome. The following historical quotes further reveal the original intent of the Council of Nicaea and highlight the ongoing need for reformation away from Roman Catholic Christian influence.

“In the year 325 A.D. was perpetrated one of the most colossal frauds and deceptions in the annals of history. This was the date of the Council of Nicea, whose task it was to create a new religion that would be acceptable to Emperor Constantine…” The Historical Apollonius Versus the Mythical Jesus, by Dr. R. W. Bernard, Ph.D.

“Constantine’s intention at Nicea was to create an entirely new god for his empire who would unite all religious factions under one deity.  Presbyters were asked to debate and decide who their god would be.  Delegates argued among themselves, expressing personal motive for inclusion of particular writings that promoted the finer traits of their own special deity.  Throughout the meeting, howling factions were immersed in heated debates, and the names of 53 gods were tabled for discussion. “As of yet, no god had been selected by the council, and so they balloted in order to determine that matter. . .  For one year and five months the balloting lasted. . .” God’s Book of Eskra, Prof. S.L. MacGuire’s translation, Salisbury, 1922, chapter xlviii, paragraphs 36, 41. 

“At the end of that time, Constantine returned to the gathering to discover that the presbyters had not agreed on a new deity [later referred to as Jesus Christ], but had balloted down to a shortlist of five prospects: Caesar, Crishna [Krishna], Mithra, Horus, and Zeus.” Historia Ecclesiastica, Eusebius, c. 325.

“Constantine was the ruling spirit at Nicaea and he ultimately decided upon a new god for them. To involve British factions, he ruled that the name of the Druid god, “Hesus,” be joined with the Eastern Savior-god, Krishna (Krishna is Sanskrit for Christ), and thus “Hesus Krishna” [Jesus Christ] would be the official name of the New Roman god. A vote was taken and it was with a majority show of hands (161 votes to 157) that both divinities become one God. Following long-standing heathen custom, Constantine used the official gathering and the Roman apotheosis decree to legally defy two deities into one, and did so by democratic consent.  A new god was proclaimed and “officially” ratified by Constantine.” Acta Concilii Nicaeni, 1618.

 “In order to make the previously despised cult of the Early Christians [Messiah followers] acceptable to Constantine, emperor of Rome – the new (pagan) Church Fathers had to remove from its teachings certain doctrines which they knew were objectionable to Constantine.  To accomplish this, certain “correctors” were hired, whose task it was to rewrite the Gospels.” -Apollonius the Nazarene Part 1:  The Historical Apollonius Versus the Mythical Jesus By Dr. R. W. Bernard, Ph.D.

“The Council of Nicea was a pivotal event in the history of Christianity [Messiah followers]. The sudden adoption of a quasi-philosophic term…“trinity” in a Creed meant that, from A.D. 325 on, Nicenes could and did proclaim other dogmas that have no basis in Scripture.” State Church of the Roman Empire; Ben H. Swett; 1998.

Make no mistake, damage to the original documents had long since been accomplished at the time of the Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325), even through the thirteenth century. I believe some of these changes were covertly accomplished with the aid of and in league with top Semitic (Jewish) scholars of the day. The Jews’ motivation may have come from the need to remove themselves as far from the time-centric incriminating evidence of the astro-luni-solar calendar that perpetually exposed their guilt of murdering the Messiah. Perhaps their motivation was born of pride and a need to unite all their followers under one banner of their own devising. 

Might this be why there are so many contradictions that have kept Bible believers involved in hours of debate and confusion? After all these years, it remains labor-intensive to discover for sure which portions were altered and which were not. There are some insertions that most scholars recognize as being false that came through Rome’s corruptive influence on the Bible, but there are also some deletions.

The prophet Daniel warned that this would happen (Daniel 7:25), declaring that the “beast power” would seek to change the very TIMES and LAWS of Yahuah.

Rome has indeed given great care to ensure consistency among the falsified manuscripts. We can, therefore, have confidence that ALL historical and Scriptural documents have been processed through the “Correctories.” 

Unequivocally, we must acknowledge that all seminaries of all Churches have been aware of these facts for at least 100 years, yet they refuse to educate their patrons. If you continue to attend a church that teaches the Messiah of Scripture is the same entity as Jesus Christ, who laid down His life on a Roman-designated Friday and rose on its crafted Sunday of the Roman calendar, then you are in a false church and praying to a fabricated god. Has the gravity of this sunk in?  Does this matter to you? 

The church I belonged to taught that only the second of the Ten Commandments had been removed from the Roman Catholic Bible, and the tenth commandment was split into two, making ten.  In addition, concerning laws, they taught that the Romans changed the sanctity of the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. This, they taught, was the full extent of all alterations to TIMES & LAWS. 

Yet, it has been discovered that the change from Saturday to Sunday, although widely touted, is also false. Discover what was actually changed that they don’t want you to know. Refer to the article, Constantine and the Week

Examples of Altered Scriptures

Here is a listing of Scriptures that have been manipulated to conflict with the foundational standard of truths as outlined in Yahuah Alahim’s Torah Law, Statutes, Judgments, and Testimonies (prophecies of the Messiah).  We can identify the parts that have been manipulated because they contradict prescriptive foundational standards, as defined in Isaiah 8:20; Daniel 7:25; 2 John 1:6; Deuteronomy 5:31-33; Deuteronomy 30:16; 1 Kings 2:3; 1 Kings 11:38; Jeremiah 7:23; Malachi 4:4; and Psalms 119.

King David devoted the entire chapter of Psalms 119 to these four principles because they are the terms of the Bridal Covenant for those redeemed from the Earth. Love produces obedience, not out of legalism, but for opposite reasons: gratefulness, respect, honor, and reverence.

(Compare each of the following verses with any standard Bible version to see the differences in what was initially intended by its author, contrasted to what has been changed by the lying pen of scribes.)   In the articles, look for the Scripture Word Study image, as shown below, to find and compare verses.

Removing the Mask of Deception

What is it about the sacred lunar-appointed times and their corresponding Feast Day events that would make them a primary target for Satan and his emissaries?

Could it be that understanding these divinely ordained days opens the heart and mind to the realization of our need for a Savior, leading to true repentance, heartfelt confession, and the joy of complete forgiveness?

Might it be that the knowledge of their true lunar timing, marked by the full moon rather than the crescent or dark conjunction, exposes both the Roman Gregorian calendar and the modern Jewish timekeeping system as impostors, which have deviated from the Creator’s original design? Each of these systems is revealed to be man-made, standing in opposition to Scripture’s full New Moon, lunar Sabbaths, and the preordained appointed times for worship.

Could it be that this revelation would finally remove the mask of deception, exposing Satan as the one who has, by default, received worship in place of Yahuah—through both Roman and Jewish time systems and under a name not given initially to the Messiah?

May this understanding not shake your faith in Yahuah, the Almighty, or in His Son, Yahusha, the true Messiah, nor in the fundamental truths of Scripture. Rather, may it serve as a wake-up call—an invitation to seek truth as one would search for hidden treasure, drawing ever closer to the light of His wisdom and guidance. 

“Those from among you
shall build the old waste places.
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations,
and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
the Restorer of Paths to dwell in.”
Isaiah 58:12-13
