Unveiling The World

אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה
’ehye ’ăšer ’ehye
‘I will be what I will be’

Exodus 3:14

“I am who I am,” “I will become what I choose to become,” “I am what I am,” “I will be what I will be,” “I create what(ever) I create,” or “I am the Existing One.” The traditional English translation within Judaism favours “I will be what I will be” because there is no present tense of the verb “to be” in the Hebrew language.

We are in a time of great importance, a time of incredible peril and suffering, one would be ambiguous to disagree with the proclaimed prophecies in the holy scriptures. Nevertheless, in great distress a person seeks great comfort, what sought after comfort could possibly outweigh the sheer negativity of these horrendous times?
For this answer, we will once again turn to the bible and only the bible.

Psalm 116

¹ I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
    he heard my cry for mercy.
² Because he turned his ear to me,
    I will call on him as long as I live.

³ The cords of death entangled me,
    the anguish of the grave came over me;
    I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
⁴ Then I called on the name of the Lord:
    “Lord, save me!”

⁵ The Lord is gracious and righteous;
    our God is full of compassion.
⁶ The Lord protects the unwary;
    when I was brought low, he saved me.

⁷ Return to your rest, my soul,
    for the Lord has been good to you.

⁸ For you, Lord, have delivered me from death,
    my eyes from tears,
    my feet from stumbling,
⁹ that I may walk before the Lord
    in the land of the living.

¹⁰ I trusted in the Lord when I said,
    “I am greatly afflicted”;
¹¹ in my alarm I said,
    “Everyone is a liar.”

¹² What shall I return to the Lord
    for all his goodness to me?

In this scripture we can see the reference to one whom the writer is addressing in a formal and holy manner, we don’t however know of this person in a personal relation as the importance of his presence is left unknown by title alone. So, if the personal title of this person addressed as LORD is unknown, how do we know who exactly the author is talking about. The fact is we CANNOT say one hundred percent we do know who is being preached about, we can only make an educated guess, while applying this understanding we can quickly conclude it is the Messiah. But this leaves a major problem, say for instance, in a hypothetical situation, we had an author who delved into the occult and demonology, he himself was not referring to the Messiah as LORD but an evil being instead, what situation would the reader be placed in?, as the conflict of belief is now prominent but not known. This is the exact reason we have personal names and are addressed by them.

A man enters a room full of people, and wishes to find his friend, not knowing where to start he tilts his head back and with a short authoritative voice says the word “man”. A few people turn to the audible statement, then simply continue on their way. Once the man realises, he will need to be more personal in his endeavours to locate his friend he remembers his friends name, John, he proceeds to tilt his head and yells, JOHN, to which 3 heads turn to him, he then sees the face of his friend and greets him.

How do we know who anyone is without a name? How important are names? More so, how important were names in the biblical time?

This is the definition of the word “Lord”, how does one Lord distinguish between another Lord? Even Lords have names as it is written in this very definition, “Lord John Russell”. So why then does the bible leave out the most important names ever uttered in the history of the world? Our heavenly father and his son, they must be known to all before the end comes, as it is written;

Matthew 24
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

How can you preach a gospel without names? Who would even listen to such news?
So we are quickly understanding that the name of our creator and King are being left out of their very own book. Why? This takes us all the way back to the scribes who removed the vowels from the tetragrammaton in order to stop people from pronouncing his name in vain as told in the third commandment “Thou shall not take thy Eloah’s name in vain”.
This is also explained in more detail by Paul in;

Romans 2
24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

He is explaining to the Jews how their self righteousness is causing the holy name to be blasphemed as they are quoting the commandments yet are not doing them, so the gentiles are doing what they see the Jews do, hypocrisy..

2 Timothy 2
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Romans 10
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

How? As the name has been removed or mistranslated. To whom do we call upon?
Why is the name of an Israelite man written in English? Was he not an Israelite? This is the very problem we suffer from in the modern times of our own arrogance and self-importance. Because we speak a language, we command it to be the choice of all pronunciation, irrespective of anyone or anything else.
If a man from China is called Yāo hàn, does he suddenly become ‘John’ the moment he steps foot in and English-speaking country? Or a man from Italy called Giovanni, does he become ‘Yāo hàn’ when he is in a Mandarin speaking country? Of course not! So why do you take a name far greater and so holy in vain? You blaspheme the holy name by changing it to suit your modern dialect, an outrageous act of self-righteousness, you add vowels and letters not known to Hebrew, what originality or holiness does his name possess anymore? Remember, the scribes wouldn’t even utter his name, the chief priests would only mention his name on Yom Kippur (day of atonement). But here we are with not even his name mentioned in his own book, only titles of Lord, God, and El.

Isaiah 52
5 And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long. 6 Therefore My people will know My name; therefore, they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”

Exodus 3
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, YHWH the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

So, the heavenly father has given Moses a title to call him by “I AM”, (“EHYE”). He then continues to say his personal name to them is “YHWH”.

Exodus 6
3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name YHWH was I not known to them.

Psalms was written in Hebrew, the name YHWH is clearly written in Paleo Hebrew, even the scholars kept his name in unison with the holy and important state it is to be kept in. They knew that they did not have the authority to change it, and so, there it is written in its original form. Whatever the language of the book is written in the name remains to be in the original Hebrew, whether it is paleo or phonetic, it is still Hebrew. Now living in the last days, mankind has changed it completely from phonetic Hebrew to paleo Hebrew to Babylonian Hebrew to Greek to Latin and finally to English. How can you possibly trust these translations or even want to change his name? His name shall always be what YAH declared it at the mountain of Horeb, as he himself says,

Malachi 3
6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.

He does not change! If you change his name, he most certainly changes. So then, if even the scribes didn’t change his name and kept it holy, why aren’t we?
People today argue that the name of God is Jehovah and that it is the ‘English translation’, this is completely not true as biblical Hebrew never have the letters “J” or “V”, also how can this be said as the vowels were removed by the Jewish scribes to protect the sanctity of this holy name. Unless these people have a time machine and can speak to these scribes, there is absolutely no way of knowing the exact pronunciation. More so, if that is the ‘English translation’ then what is “Yahweh”? A Polish translation? Perhaps a Mongolian translation? All we are left with is ‘YHWH’ ‘yod’-‘hey’-‘uwu’-‘hey’. This was simply and roughly translated into “Yahweh”, again, there is no way of absolutely knowing as there are no vowels! A theory well known is, a Christian priest translating the bible for a pope in the 15th century, added the vowels from “Adoni” and “Elohim” to ‘YHWH’ to create the name Yehowah, and thus the creation of “Jehovah” was formed from complete and utter guessing. But here are some well documented facts.

In 1278 a Spanish monk, Raymundo Martini, wrote the Latin work PUGIO FIDEI (Dagger of faith). In it he used the name of God, spelling it Yohoua. Later printings of this work, dated some centuries later, used the spelling JEHOVA.

Soon after, in 1303, Porchetus de Salvaticis completed a work entitled VICTORIA PORCHETI AVERSUS IMPIOS HEBRAEOS (Porchetus’ Victory Against the Ungodly Hebrews). He spells God’s name IOHOUAH, IOHOUA and IHOUAH.

Then, in 1518, Petrus Galatinus, a Catholic priest born in the late 1400’s, published a work entitled DE ARCANIS CATHOLICAE VERITATIS (Concerning Secrets of the Universal Truth) in which he spelled God’s name IEHOUA.

Now, the direct answer to your question: the name “Jehovah” first appeared in an English BIBLE in 1530, when William Tyndale published a translation of the Chumash (the first five books of the Bible). In this, he included the name of God, usually spelled IEHOUAH, in several verses (Genesis 15:2; Exodus 6:3; 15:3; 17:6; 23:17; 33:19; 34:23; Deuteronomy 3:24. Tyndale also included God’s name in Ezekiel 18:23 and 36:23 in his translations that were added at the end of THE NEW TESTAMENT, Antwerp, 1534), and in a note in this edition he wrote: “Iehovah is God’s name… moreover as oft as thou seist LORD in great letters (except there be any error in the printing) is is in Hebrew Iehovah.” (Please note as I told you previously, there was no “J” in English at this time; the J is a product of a stylized I; thus giving us the current Jehovah rather than the Old English Iehovah. The “u” used in the above names is also a reminder that there was no “v” in Old English, as you can read David in the original King James version was written “Dauid”.)

In 1534 Martin Luther published his complete translation of the Bible in German, based on the original languages. While he used the German “Herr” (Lord or Sir) for the Tetragrammaton, in a sermon which he delivered in 1526 on Jeremiah 23:1-8, he said, “The name Jehovah, Lord, belongs exclusively to the true God.”

Subsequently, Jehovah was used not only in the “Authorized” King James version of 1611, but the Spanish VALERA version of 1602, the Portuguese ALMEIDA version of 1681, the German ELBERFELDER version of 1871, and the American Standard Version of 1901. It appears that the Jerusalem Bible was the first one to used Yahweh instead of Lord and Jehovah. (Link)

Let us take away knowledge from this and understand that the name of our father is Hebrew and shall remain Hebrew and be called by what he instructed us to call him. He didn’t speak French, Spanish nor English but Hebrew. If YHWH is what we are left with then that is what we shall call him, either that “I AM” or “EHYE”, simple.

Written by ‘ a man ‘

‘The sabbath was nailed to the cross, we no longer need to keep it’. This is a very used and almost predictable mentality of many Christians today. This unproven theory is used by most denominations in the context of not having to adhere to the 10 commandments. The theory is commonly followed by the misconception of ‘once saved always saved’. Unfortunately, these theories are nothing but the ideas of men, they can very easily be proven wrong. Let’s break this idea down so it is much more easily digestible.

The first scripture many people like to use to support their argument is,
Galatians 4
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? 10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! 11 I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain. 12 I beg you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.

Paul has clearly mentioned before knowing YAH they were in bondage by worshiping false non existing gods, they were observing certain times for these gods and performing rituals and sacrifices. Now, to fully understand this scripture, the reader needs to know a few things about the people Paul is talking to. The people of Galatia are gentiles, they have previously been worshiping false gods and deities. Gentiles have never been Jews before this moment as the death of the Messiah has helped the gentiles be grafted onto the olive tree. Another important thing to know is, in Israelite custom and law, there are holy days, festival weeks and sabbatical years, but there no holy months or seasons. How then can Paul be speaking about the law of YAH? Let’s once again turn to the bible and prove this with only scripture.

Galatians 2
7 On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.

This is Paul talking to the gentiles, he has said the task of preaching to them was his and preaching to the Jews was Peters. So, we should only refer to what Paul is saying for this to be an honest perspective.

Romans 7
12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

This is Paul explaining the importance of the law, how could Paul say this and then in another letter call the same thing “weak and beggarly”. He would never call the law of his god a derogative thing.

Deuteronomy 18
9 When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the Lord your God. 14 The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so.

This is the very thing Paul is talking about to the gentiles. These Galatians are those mentioned in Deuteronomy. The land of Canaan had many wicked customs, the Jews were warned about them, so when the gentiles were able to be grafted onto the olive tree, they were always going to turn back to customs they had always known, remember, they have never practised Israelite customs before, so how can they possibly turn back to worship they’ve never partaken in before? Now you understand the weak and beggarly elements Paul is referring to, the heathen practises.

Galatians 6
15 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy and upon the Israel of God.

It is paramount that we understand, we are under grace, grace is what saves us from the transgression of the law. The bible clearly states what sin is;

1 John 3
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

So then because we are under grace, we no longer need to keep the law of YAH? Absolutely not, in fact that is completely opposite to what the bible teaches us.

Romans 6
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Well if that doesn’t prove it alone then let me further explain.
Revelation 14
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
John 15
10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.
John 14
15 “If you love me, keep my commands
1 John 2
3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
Ephesians 2
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Matthew 15
Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!” 3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
Matthew 7
22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and, in your name, perform many miracles?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness

For the Messiah has power over the law as he has fulfilled the law, he came, lived under the law and died not breaking it once. He is our atonement for sin (transgressing the law). When the Messiah had been crucified, above his head had the words “king of the Jews”

Matthew 27
37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is Jesus, the king of the Jews

This is the exact “written charge” mentioned in;
Colossians 2
13 When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses, 14 having cancelled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross! 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. 16 Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind. 19 He has lost connection to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God causes it to grow. 20 If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations: 21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”? 22 These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. 23 Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

The debt ascribed to us isn’t the perfect and holy law of YAH’s, but it is the sin we have compiled. How can the perfect law of YAH’s be ‘against us’ when it was written ‘for us? The Messiah died alongside two thieves; how do we know this? Because the debt ascribed to them was hanging above their head on a wooden plaque, “THIEVES’. In verse 20, he explains it in more detail;
20 If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations: 21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”? 22 These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.

You see!! These are the laws of the world made by man! NOT the laws of our father in heaven, the ones that you are forbidden to break even under grace.

Paul will now explain once again.

Romans 2
13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)

Psalm 19
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8 The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm and all of them are righteous.

Let me simplify all this for you again, with nothing but scripture.

John 1
29 “The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

Not the law, the sin!

Matthew 5
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them.

Not done away with, fulfilled!

Matthew 19
16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?” 17 “Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

Keep the commandments directly from the Messiah’s mouth!

So, after all this, I leave you with one question.
What is the fourth commandment??

Through scripture we can prove the sabbath is in the morning and not at night. Many people believe that the sabbath starts at sun down and not sun rise.

2 Timothy 3
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

With that being said, let us use scripture and nothing else to prove this.

Matthew 27
47 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (Which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)

As we can see here the time of death is around 3pm. It has been dark since noon, which many will class as being somewhat unusual for this time of the day. But none the less 3pm at that time of the year is usually daylight. The skies have darkened because the son of man has just been killed.

Matthew 27
57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. 58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. (NIV)

This procedure would have taken some time to carry out as the two places were not right next to each other. Golgotha was outside the gates of Jerusalem and Pilates courters were inside heavily guarded by check points and centurions. But let us check the KJV to see if there is any difference in the scripture;

57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

Very interesting, it states “even has come”, let’s cross reference this to the Greek (Matthew was written in Greek) word and find the true meaning. 

Strongs 3798. opsios
Strong’s Concordance

opsios: evening
Original Word: ὄψιος, α, ον
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: opsios
Phonetic Spelling: (op’-see-os)
Definition: evening
Usage: late, evening.
Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance
evening
From opse; late; feminine (as noun) afternoon (early eve) or nightfall (later eve) — even(-ing, (-tide)).

Surprising isn’t it, from a little research we now know that late evening/nightfall has come, and Joseph has only gotten to Pilate to ask from the body of the messiah. Whereas the NIV is suggesting the evening wasn’t as near. You see, the difference of words, changes the importance of the scripture, it is imperative for us to check for ourselves.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Mark 15
44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph.

The centurion would have had to ride a horse through the busy streets of Jerusalem, at the time of Passover, through the crowds and back, to confirm to Pilate of the Messiah’s death. Again, this would not have been a quick task.

46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.

Joseph now must go and purchase fine linen from the markets, while travellers are in Jerusalem on the Passover at night time, a somewhat troublesome and time consuming task.

Luke 23
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.

Knowing what we know about the sabbath day, this is clearly explaining how this took the women all night to do. In verse 56, the women travelled all the way home, possibly purchased spices and prepared them. The above scripture is the NIV (new international version), notice how the scripture differs from the bible it was copied from. (King James version)
(KJV) 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

It clearly stats “the sabbath day”.
Again this is a prime example of how scriptures are changed to mislead people.

Luke 16
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him

This scripture completely proves, through the night they prepared the spices and ointments, but the following day they rested according to the commandment.

Luke 23
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
“Drew on”, in this scripture, the word ‘epiphosko’ is used, lets see the translation from Greek.

Strongs 2020. epiphóskó
Strong’s Concordance

epiphóskó: to let shine, i.e. to dawn
Original Word: ἐπιφώσκω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: epiphóskó
Phonetic Spelling: (ep-ee-foce’-ko)
Definition: to let shine, to dawn
Usage: I dawn, am near commencing.
Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance
begin, dawn.
A form of epiphauo; to begin to grow light — begin to dawn, X draw on.

The same word is used to in Luke 23:54
GRK: καὶ σάββατον ἐπέφωσκεν
NAS: and the Sabbath was about to begin.
KJV: and the sabbath drew on.
INT: and Sabbath was coming on

It is used in direct correlation with the sabbath, this again, is undeniable proof!

John 19
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus. 39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. 40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

As we can clearly read in verse 39, Nicodemus came to Jesus by night and joined everyone else who was burying him, if the sabbath had started at nightfall, then they were all breaking the commandment of YAH. Burying someone so loved would have taken a very long time, not to mention the amount of spices Nicodemus had brought with him.

Luke 1
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

This again proves that the beginning of the day is at the rising of the sun not the setting of the sun. Many people are falsely led to believe that the sabbath starts at the setting of the sun the day before, this is completely incorrect. So, with all this taken into consideration, it is without a doubt and irrefutable that the sabbath is from sun rise and does not start from sunset. If the sabbath started from sunset, wouldn’t all the disciples of the Messiah be breaking the commandment of YAH, surely they knew exactly how to worship on the sabbath being so close to ‘Jesus’.

Finally, something I find beautiful I thought I would leave with you.

Revelation 22
5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 21
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp

Isaiah 60
19 No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendour.
20 Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not wane; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will cease.

From the prophecies in Isaiah to the end days of revelations the heavenly father has explained that the sun and moon will be no more. They are there to serve a purpose to his people, they are exactly what he said they are in Genesis 14; And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.

When Yah ends this wicked world as we know it, his laws will cease to exist as the Messiah in Matthew confirms this very thing.

Matthew 5
18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Remember the fourth commandment, it is to keep the sabbath day, the moon is our guidance to that, once we are in our heavenly fathers kingdom, we no longer need to keep the obedience of the 10 commandments, so the need of the heavenly luminaries are void.

Q. If the Messiah ‘done away’ with the sabbath, by nailing it to the cross with his death, then why did his closest followers continue to practice the sabbath after his death? Interesting, isn’t it?

So how do we keep track of holy days and why they don’t fit into our calendar?

Psalm 104
19 He made the moon for the seasons. The sun knows the place of its setting.

In this scripture (Psalms 104:19) the word ‘seasons’ is incorrectly interjected, I am led to believe deliberately, here is why.

The bible is written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, but Psalms itself was written in Hebrew, let’s look at the same scripture before it was mistranslated into English.

Tehillim 104
19 He appointed the yarei’ach for mo’adim; the shemesh knoweth the place of its going down.

*Notes. It is most probable that in Genesis 1:14 (P), where ׳מ ‘‘ אֹתֹת, the reference is to the sacred seasons as fixed by moon’s appearance; and so also ׳עשׂה ירח למ he made the moon for sacred seasons Psalm 104:19, although many Lexicons & Commentaries refer these to the seasons of the year. *Strongs

As we can see, the word ‘seasons’ has no place in this scripture. The direct Hebrew translation is ‘appointed times/meeting/place’. Therefore, the moon has been created for us, to keep our fathers appointed times. There are numerous scriptures that mentions new moons and sabbaths together as theses are clearly depicted by the moon. So why have they changed it to seasons? Many awoken bible scholars believe it was changed to hide the true day of worship, as mentioned above, the seventh day is for worship to our heavenly father. Obviously its impossible to know when the true seventh day of worship is as we do not have the archives of sabbath keeping from over six thousand years ago. Or is it? If we already know that the new moon day is when the moon is renewed (when the moon is not ‘illuminated’ at all, see; I Samuel 20:5, 18 & 24; 2 Kings 4:23; Psalm 81:3; Isaiah 66:23; Ezekiel 46:1; and Amos 8:5.), then why can we not simply count seven days from then? If we count forward seven days from a new moon, we find the moon to be in a first quarter phase, then if we continue to count forwards another seven days, the moon is now a full moon, add another seven days and it presents itself as a third quarter crescent, with seven more days added we are back to a new moon. Coincidence? impossible, considering every single country in the world is governed by this same timekeeping and it works flawlessly. Some people say ‘ah, but some days are 8 days apart from a moon phase’, yes this is true, but only on the Gregorian calendar, also seasons and geography play a role in this case. When cross referenced to the original Hebrew calendar, we find in that specific month they have an extra day added, which when converted from a lunisolar calendar to a Gregorian calendar, makes perfect sense. The lunisolar calendar does not fit into the Gregorian calendar as the lunisolar calendar has 354.36707 days.

*Since each lunation is approximately 29+1⁄2 days, it is common for the months of a lunar calendar to alternate between 29 and 30 days. Since the period of 12 such lunations, a lunar year, is 354 days, 8 hours, 48 minutes, 34 seconds (354.36707 days), purely lunar calendars are 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year. lunar calendars, which do not make use of intercalation, like the Islamic calendar, the lunar months cycle through all the seasons of a solar year over the course of a 33-34 lunar-year cycle. On the Biblical lunar-solar calendar, each lunation (or lunar month) always begins with a New Moon Day, which is in a class of worship day all by itself. Six work days follow on the second through seventh of the month. The seventh-day Sabbath always falls on the 8th, the 15th, the 22nd and the 29th of every lunar month. *Wikipedia

*Scripture itself supports this calendar configuration. Every time the seventh-day Sabbath is given a numbered date in the Bible, it always falls on the 8th, the 15th, the 22nd or the 29th of the month. Either the actual date itself is assigned or contextual dates and other details consistently allow for that extrapolation. For example, the story of the Exodus from Egypt contains specific dates and details for three months in a row, all of which have the seventh-day Sabbath falling on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th for each month! These calendar details were confirmed 40 years later at the time of Joshua and again at the crucifixion of the Savior on Passover.

As mentioned previously, the lunar year is shorter than the solar year and without some means of anchoring the lunar months to the solar year, the seasons would float through the calendar. The true New Year is anchored to the vernal equinox. Thus, every two to three years, an extra thirteenth month was intercalated into the year. This was called an embolismic year, because an entire additional month was added to bring the lunations back into alignment with the seasons. Ezekiel provides scriptural proof for the thirteenth month used in embolismic years. See: Ezekiel’s 13th Month. *Worlds Last Chance

Let’s have a quick recap. We have proven that YAH has given us a separate way to keep time and track appointed days, which is the luminaries of the sky. We have found many scriptures that explain the importance of the sabbath and new moon days. The true manner of time keeping has now been regained and it is as flawless as the maker himself, unchanged and undeniably working in unison with all of nature.

Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6 And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

As you can see in verse 7, the firmament was created to divide the waters in half, some above it and some below it, so it creates a void in the midst that resembles a pocket (or better described as a bubble). In verse 8, YAH calls this creation that separates the two, ‘Heaven’. At this stage the realm of where humans will eventually reside has just been created, no land nor water is occupying it, it is an empty space, not even light has a presence in the newly formed inhabitance. The only light and darkness that is mentioned at this stage is in verse 3, when YAH says ‘let there be light’, he then divides the light from the darkness and goes forth to call the light day and the darkness night. This can only be interpreted as one thing (you must remember though, the dwelling of man has only just been formed, nothing inside of that realm has been created only the structure). Heaven has its own light source and darkness and a means to time keeping, as on the second day the firmament was created, the sun and moon are not yet created, our concept of time is controlled by the luminaries of the sky.

Continuing…

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering of the waters called the Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14 And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

On the fourth day YAH created the lights of man’s inhabitance and placed them in the firmament. In verse 15 you can see that the luminaries were created to provide light on our habitancy, to depict specific times and signs. So, as we can see, four days have passed yet the sun and moon have only just been created, this is concrete proof that heaven has its own time keeping, separate from earth.

So, with this being understood and explained in the holy scriptures, what does this mean you may ask? It means something far greater than what you may perceive at this moment. Allow me to open your eyes and unveil something that has been hidden from you, after all, you are an innocent party in this spiritual warfare and are to be made whole again in the image of perfection. Now we acknowledge heaven and earth have their own timekeeping, why would YAH segregate us from keeping time in unison with heaven? Is it because we are not as holy as him? Or perhaps we are millions of ‘lightyears’ away? I cannot provide you with a definitive answer as I am not the one who created it, but what I can do, is provide you with an understanding and a biblically educated comprehension into the reason why. Here are some bible scriptures to show these important days.

Genesis 1
14 And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.

Genesis 2
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Exodus 20
8 ‘Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labour and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Exodus 30
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, 13 ‘Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.14 ‘‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’’

1 Chronicles 23
30 They are to stand every morning to thank and to praise the Lord, and likewise at evening, 31 and to offer all burnt offerings to the Lord, on the sabbaths, the new moons and the fixed festivals in the number set by the ordinance concerning them, continually before the Lord.

Psalm 8
3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained.

Psalm 81
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.

2 Chronicles 2
4 Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, dedicating it to Him, to burn fragrant incense before Him and to set out the showbread continually, and to offer burnt offerings morning and evening, on sabbaths and on new moons and on the appointed feasts of the Lord our God, this being required forever in Israel.

2 Chronicles 8
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord which he had built before the porch; 13 and did so according to the daily rule, offering them up according to the commandment of Moses, for the sabbaths, the new moons and the three annual feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Booths.

The scriptures above are only a handful out of hundreds of scriptures that explain the incredible importance of keeping our fathers holy days at the appointed times.
Exodus 30:17 says ‘forever’, why would YAH say forever if he knew he was going to ‘do away with it’? We will touch more on this topic in Part 3, when we discuss the doing away of the commandments and sabbaths.
