Do We Really Know the Pronunciation?

Study compiled by YermeYah

http://yahushua.net/YAHUWAH/preface.htm

Below is the name of the Almighty written in Hebrew. It seems to be an accepted fact that the correct pronunciation of His name is “Yahweh”. This is apparently so because “most scholars” say that this pronunciation is correct. But what are the facts?

YHWH 

Do We Really Know the Pronunciation?

Proverbs 25:2 It is the honor of the Almighty to conceal a thing; But the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

Biblical Hebrew is a difficult subject for most of us. We therefore usually rely on research done by others, and trust that their conclusions are correct. When something is controversial, like the origin of the heavenly Father’s name, most of us usually accept the conclusion of those scholars who are in the majority, without actually checking out their research for ourselves. Why is this? The reason seems to be that people are intimidated by the technical nature of ancient Hebrew. But, does this need to be the case? Let’s take a look at the facts surrounding the Heavenly Father’s Name…

In Strong’s Concordance, it states that (YHWH), Hebrew 3068, comes from the verb root hyh (hayah), Hebrew 1961 [the verb “to be”]. That is impossible however, since the tetragrammaton would then be spelled *yhyh *(yhyh) instead of YHWH (YHWH). [*third person masculine singular imperfect form]

The Theological Word Book of the Old Testament (word #484) says that hwh (hawah) is the older form of this verb root. In the same article, it says, “An alternative of the pronunciation of the tetragrammaton should be mentioned. Actually, there is a problem with the pronunciation “Yahweh.” It is a strange combination of old and late elements. The first extra-biblical occurrence of the name is in the Moabite Stone of about 850 b.c. At that time, vowel letters were just beginning to be used in Hebrew. If (YHWH) represents a spelling earlier than 900 b.c. (as would seem most likely), the final h (h) would have been pronounced.”

The pronunciation Yahweh indeed comes from the verb root hwh (hawah), but this is not the most ancient form of the verb “to be”. Prior to this, the verb  was spelled hwy (hwy). This root also would be impossible for the tetragrammaton, since it would give a spelling of yhwy (yhwy) instead of (YHWH).

In the “Biblical Archaeology Review” of Sept – Oct ’94, Anson F. Rainey, a professor of Semitic linguistics at Tel Aviv University, confirms this. He states, “A form like yahweh developed from yahwiyu [yhwy]” (editor’s note: Yahwiyu is a hypothetical pronunciation).

It can be seen that Anson Rainey shows, by implication, that the Hebrew spelling of the tetragrammaton was originally different than it is at present. This however, would not be in line with the statement found at Exodus 3:15. Here, says…

“this [YHWH] is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”

In the book, “A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew” by C.L. Seow, it states that nouns with an “eh” ending originally ended with a (w) or a (y).

Since we do not believe that the name of the Almighty has changed in spelling or pronunciation, we do not believe that his name can have the pronunciation of yahweh. In other words, even though words in the Hebrew language have changed or evolved, we do not believe that this is true of the Heavenly Father’s name. Also, even if it were possible for the spelling of the tetragrammaton to have changed, the pronunciation still would not have originally been yahweh.

Another excerpt from the Theological Word Book of the Old Testament, under #484, says: “The “w” of Yahweh, represents a pre-mosaic pronunciation but the final “eh” represents probably a post-davidic form. In view of these problems it may be best simply to say that (YHWH) does not come from the verb hwh (hawah) (presumably hwy hawaya in its early form) at all. There are many places in the OT where it is now recognized that the parallel of a name and its meaning is not necessarily etymological. For instance, 1st Samuel 1:20 probably does not mean that the name Samuel is derived from the verb‘shama’ “to hear.” Genesis 11:9 does not mean that Babel comes from the verb babel “confusion” but only that the two words sound something alike. Likewise Jacob is said to mean both “heel” (Gen 25:26) and “supplanter” (Gen 27:36). There are many other examples of this device which is to be taken as paronomasia, a play on words, rather than an etymology. Therefore, we may well hold that YHWH does not come from the verb hawa which is cited in the first person ‘ehyeh’ “I will be, “but is an old word of unknown origin which sounded something like what the verb hawa sounded in Moses’ day. In this case we do not know what the pronunciation was; we can only speculate. However, if the word were spelled with four letters in Moses’ day, we would expect it to have had more than two syllables, for at that period there were no vowel letters [written]. All letters were sounded”. [including the final hei.gif (866 bytes) (h), whereas the final “h” in the pronunciation “Yahweh” is silent, meaning that it is used as a vowel]

So what about the pronunciation Yahweh?

In our search for truth, we do not want to leave any stone unturned. The following information is something that needs to be prayerfully considered. 

In Roman mythology, the idol “Jupiter” is the same as the idol “Zeus” in Greek mythology. According to Latin grammar, Jove is the ablative case of Jupiter. In Classical Latin, the pronunciation of Jove (Iove) is Y-A-W-E, with the “j” (i) sounding like a “y”, the “o” being a short sound [like the “o” in “Bob”] the “v” sounds like a “w”, and the “e” sounds like “eh”. These sounds can be verified at the following sites: 

Latin Pronunciation one

Latin Pronunciation two

The Oxford Latin Dictionary, under the heading “Iuppiter” [Jupiter] shows that it originates from dieu = god, pater = father with other Latin forms dies, deus [Greek “Zeus”]. This dictionary spells Jove as 4 vowels “Ioue”, which is reminiscent of Josephus’ claim of the tetragrammaton being 4 vowels [supposedly Iaue].

The following is taken from an article entitled, “Paradox of the Anonymous Name” by Gérard GERTOUX, a Hebrew scholar in France, a specialist of the Tetragram; He has been president of the Association Biblique de Recherche d’Anciens Manuscrits since 1991…

Flavius Josephus, who understood the priesthood of this time very well, made it clear that at the time the Romans attacked the Temple, the Jews called upon the fear-inspiring name of [Elohim] (The Jewish War V:438). He wrote he had no right to reveal this name to his reader (Jewish Antiquities II:275), however he did give information of primary importance on the very pronunciation he wanted to conceal. However, in his work The Jewish War V:235 he stated: «The high priest had his head dressed with a tiara of fine linen embroidered with a purple border, and surrounded by another crown in gold which had in relief the sacred letters; these ones are four vowels» This description is excellent; moreover, it completes the one found in Exodus 28:36-39. However, as we know, there are no vowels in Hebrew, but only consonants. Regrettably, instead of explaining this apparent abnormality, certain commentators (influenced by the form Yahweh) mislead the readers of Josephus by indicating in a note, that this reading was IAUE. Now, it is obvious that the ‘sacred letters’ indicated the Tetragram written in paleo-Hebrew, not Greek. Furthermore, in Hebrew these consonants Y, W, H, do serve as vowels; they are in fact called ‘mothers of reading’ (matres lectionis). The writings of Qumrân show that in the first century Y used as vowel served only to indicate the sounds I and É, W served only for the sounds Ô and U, and a final H served for the sound A. These equivalences may be verified in thousands of words. Additionally, the H was used as a vowel only at the end of words, never within them. So, to read the name YHWH as four vowels would be IHUA that is IEUA, because between two vowels, the H is heard as a slight E. 

The preceding was taken from an article entitled “Paradox of the Anonymous Name”, located at:

http://digilander.libero.it/domingo7/Gertoux.htm 

A translation of the Bible called, “The Word of Yahweh” (first edition), from the Assembly of Yahweh, in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, has the following footnote. It is found on page 1106 and is a footnote for Acts 14:12. It is footnote #81 and is for the word “Jupiter”. It reads as follows:

The Greek text has Zeus here. Some English translations say Jupiter, which is Latin. The Aramaic text says, “Mariah Elaha”! It is interesting to note that “Jove” is another name for Jupiter, and would be written “IOUE” [Latin], which is close to “IAUE” [Greek]. Josephus, a historian of Yahshua’s time, said that the name of our Heavenly Father is written as four vowels: “IAUE”!

So, what we have established thus far, is the fact that the original pronunciation of the Heavenly Father was probably not “yawe or yaway”, whereas the pronunciation of “Jove”, the idol of the Romans, was very likely pronounced “yawe or yaway”. We need to prayerfully ask for wisdom concerning this matter.

What is the Correct Pronunciation?

If the name is not from the verb root hwh (hawah), how should it then be pronounced? It is a fact that anciently, each of the 4 letters of the Tetragrammaton would have been pronounced as consonants, with the final H (hei) being sharply audible (Weingreen, author of, “A Practical Grammar for Classical Hebrew”).

The question is, what vowels accompanied these 4 consonants? It says in Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar, Page 35, Section 7:1, “The original vowels in Hebrew [understood, not written], as in the other Semitic tongues, are a, i, u. [The vowels] e and o always arise from an obscuring or contraction of these three pure sounds.”

Therefore, since the name YHWH is the most ancient of all names, it seems unlikely that it would contain either of the vowel sounds ‘e’ or ‘o’.

It also shows in biblical Hebrew Grammar books that gutturals (such as h) have a preference for an “ah” vowel before them, and sometimes after them (see: A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew p.280). There is strong evidence for “Yah” at the beginning of . The form YHU (YaHU) is often found at both the beginning and ending of many ancient personal names in Hebrew. The pronunciation YaHuWaH is a definite possibility. The only way to be sure however, will be for Almighty Himself to reveal it. We hope that you will commit this matter to serious prayer.

In conclusion, let us keep in mind, that however we pronounce the tetragrammaton, the most important thing for us to do, is to show that we love YHWH by keeping his commandments: 

Psalm 111:10 The fear of YHWH is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

THE ESSENE CALENDAR  Zadokite Calendar Counting 

A comparison of Calendars can be found on http://man-child.com/?p=1150
Yahushua Melchizedek Calendar VS  Rabbinic Lunar  Calendar on Year 30AD
Or scroll down to the end of the Zadokite Calendar on this page!
The Zadokite Essene calendar, the calendar attested in I Enoch and the Book of Jubilees,
consisted of a solar calendar of 364 days divided into seven-day weeks,
twelve months of thirty days each except for one extra day in the last month of each quarter
(Jaubert 1965:27Pfeiffer 1969:64-65Vanderkam 1998:55Finegan 1998:44).
The Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Trumpets,
Feast of Tabernacles, and Feast of the Great Day
(often seen as the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles),
always began on the 4th day of the week,
(Jaubert 1965:10Simon 1967:73).
Trumpets, Tabernacles, and the Great Day always occurred
in the seventh month as set forth in the Law of Moses
(Leviticus 23:24-44).
As Nisan 15, the annual Sabbath, or Passover Sabbath,
marking the start of the seven-day Feast of Unleavened bread
began at sunset the fourth day night,
the Essene observance of the Passover Seder was always on 
the third day evening of the week  (Finegan 1998:43, 48).

 

Jaubert set forth in a simple chart her understanding
of the calendar (Jaubert 1965:27) shown below.

David Flusser suggests that the Essene calendar differed significantly from
that of the priests in order for the Essenes to distance themselves
from the Jerusalem establishment.
He wrote: The use of their own calendar was the most particular way
in which members of the sect differentiated themselves from the rest of Israel.
They celebrated their festivals on different dates,
with the deliberate intention of differentiating themselves from the other Jews.
This is a phenomenon typical of many sects
throughout the world. Even among the Jews,
the Samaritan calendar is different from the Karaite one,
and both differ from the common Jewish one. The calendar of the Sages,
of the whole House of Israel, was different from the Essene one
not only in the dating of the festivals, but in its whole conception of the year.
The Essenes had a sophisticated solar calendar,
in which there were fifty two weeks, and the festivals always
began on the same day of the week. In this they were different from other
Jews, who lived by a lunar calendar.(Flusser 1989:43.) Jaubert concludes:
it is certain that, at the beginning of the first century, A.D.,
there existed two liturgical calendars. In one of these the feasts were assigned
to days of the lunar month;
this was the official calendar, about which we can find information in
later rabbinical Judaism. In the second,
the feasts always fell on fixed days of the week.
The character of this calendar may now be discovered in
contemporary Jewish sources. It is witnessed only in its Jubilees-Qumran type;
but it is probable that it also existed in modified forms which could have either preserved
an intermediary stage of the calendar’s development or attempted a certain compromise with official reckoning. (Jaubert 1965:52.)
One of the elements leading to Jaubert’s research dealt with the dating of the Last Supper and the day of the Crucifixion. She writes:
The date of the Last Supper is linked with the problem of the day of Jesus’ death, a question which has occupied exegetes since the end of the second century. In the present work a new solution is proposed, based on an ancient Jewish calendar, recently discovered, and on an Eastern patristic tradition which has all at once been illuminated by the new calendar. (Jaubert 1965:9.)
Benedictine scholar and archaeologist Bargil Pixner, who lived on Mt. Sion in the Dormition Abby, agreed holding that Jesus’ Last Supper occurred on a the 3rd day (Tuesday) night but adding that it took place in the guesthouse of the Essene community on Mt. Zion in Jerusalem. “To my mind” writes Pixner “this took place in the Essene guesthouse on Mount Zion on the 3rd day (Tuesday) night” (Pixner 1992:64; see also Pixner 1976,19901997).
Richard Mackowski, concurring, held that this “must have been a very simple dining hall in keeping with the simple life of the Essenes” (Mackowski 1980:141). In his thinking, the “site, therefore, must be secure, for it has been the only candidate for the Cenacle (Coenaculum or dining hall) from primitive Christianity until today” (Mackowski 1980:145).
Mackowski concluded, from his topographical study of the site of the Upper Room, that the Last Supper did indeed take place in the Essene dining hall on Mt. Sion from where Jesus and his followers “walked down from the Upper City’s Essene quarter, using the steps still visible beside the Chapel of Peter-in-Gallicantu on the eastern slope of Mt. Zion (Mackowski 1980:164). Moreover, he stated that:
According to Pixner, who recently has reexamined the area thoroughly, the steps leading up from the Church of St. Peter-in-Gallicantu, on the eastern slope of Mt. Zion, led up towards a point identified as the most likely spot for a doorway or a vestibule of an ancient house. This door would have opened towards a platform leading to a house whose level would correspond to a second story upper room. (Mackowski 1980:145.)
Mackowski, independently of Bargil Pixner’s study of the area (Pixner 1976), concluded that the material evidence on Mt. Zion, in the light of textual analysis, was not only the mahaneh (the camp) of the Essenes during the time of Jesus but also the birthplace of this sect in Jerusalem (Mackowski 1980:63).
While Jaubert and Pixner saw the Last Supper, a Passover ceremony, on the 3rd day night they held that the Crucifixion occurred the following “Friday”. This would not only accommodate the “Sunday” resurrection tradition but would allow three days for the incarceration and trial of Jesus of Nazareth. There are major problems with that theory and a remarkable solution to the Passion Week chronology (see The Last Seder: Unscrambling Its Baffling Chronology).
                                                                  
The Zadokite Essene Solar Calendar
Dates in bold indicate weekly Sabbaths, annual Sabbaths, and the new moons of the first, fourth, seventh and tenth month. Roman numerals indicate the month beginning with the first month. The days and months had no names and were known by number only. The seven annual Sabbaths appear in the black cells. The first day on the first month always begins at sunset (Jerusalem time) on the Tuesday evening following the vernal equinox (I Enoch; Finegan 1998:46). The calendar had a year of 364 days. As Jubilees set the Festival of Weeks (Pentecost) on III 15 the offering of the wave sheaf (Leviticus 23:11), the omer-waving ceremony from which it is dated, always fell on first day of the week, the 26th day of the first month (Jaubert 1965:27Finegan 1998:42).

Yahushua Melchizedek Calendar VS  Rabbinic Lunar  Calendar on Year 30AD

http://man-child.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015-Melchizedek-Calendar-Schedule.pdf

 

Do a simple count of days to day 14 you will find that Yahushua’s crucifixion fell on the 4th day of the week given a 14 day count from the conjunctive moon day declaration as the counting of days on the equinox calendar works out the same to Passover/unleavened bread every year if one is working from the equinox, as per my diagram in the last article.

D.  How the Ancient Hebrew Calendar is Built:

The month by month’s guide below is based on the calendar frame work provided by Daniel de Caussin; we share the same way of counting of the year but we hold different opinion on the counting of the weekly shabbat day!

“RECENT FINDINGS At Qumran in 1947, there were apocalyptic scrolls found, and among them the Books of Jubilees and the Second Mikdash writings of Enoch I which discuss the calendar and dating system by which these people lived.

Scholars had been attentive of the Apocryphal Calendar before this find, but interest was renewed with the discovery of these scrolls by which the Qumran sect lived. It is based on 364 days per year. The year is divided into four periods (to correspond to the four seasons of the year), of 13 weeks or 91 days in each period. There are 12 months in each year or a total of 52 weeks.

By using this exact measure and beginning the year on the 4th day of the week just after the vernal equinox, the Set Apart days fall exactly on the same day, in the same month, every year. This calendar warrants extensive study, as there are now numerous proofs it was the calendar used by Abraham, King Solomon, King David, and High Priest Zadok in the First Qodesh Mikdash.

A different calendar was used in the Second Commonwealth, but that Mikdash had no Presence, no Ark of the Covenant, and no means for its apostate priesthood to communicate directly with יהוה. In fact, it is recorded that 300 high priests during the second Mikdash period, died when they went into the Most Kodesh Place on Yom Kippur. Something, perhaps many things, were wrong with the Second Mikdash Cult. A team of scholars was appointed to study the scrolls in 1952. They became an elite and secretive clique. In 1991 this monopoly was effectively broken when the Huntington Library in California announced it would allow public access to its collection of Dead Sea Scrolls photographs.

This was soon followed by the publication of a Facsimile Edition by the Biblical Archaeology Society in Washington, D.C. Until this time scholars previously controlling access to the Scrolls had been publicly contending that there was nothing interesting in the remaining unpublished Scrolls and nothing throwing further light on Judaism and Christianity’s rise in Palestine. (The Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered, Professor Robert Eisenman & Michael Wise).

for clarity, please go to this page: http://man-child.com/?p=1794 :
The Zadokite Essene calendar, the calendar attested in I Enoch and the Book of Jubilees, consisted of a solar calendar of 364 days divided into seven-day weeks, twelve months of thirty days each except for one extra day in the last month of each quarter (Jaubert 1965:27Pfeiffer 1969:64-65Vanderkam 1998:55Finegan 1998:44).
The Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Trumpets, Feast of Tabernacles, and Feast of the Great Day (often seen as the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles), always began on the 4th day of the week ( There is NO Wednesday yet in the 1st century),
The feast of Passover actually start on the 3rd day (Tuesday) evening, as the Jews began days at evening not midnight (Jaubert 1965:10Simon 1967:73).
Trumpets, Tabernacles, and the Great Day always occurred in the seventh month as set forth in the Law of Moses (Leviticus 23:24-44).
As Nisan 15, the annual Sabbath, or Passover Sabbath, marking the start of the seven-day Feast of Unleavened bread began at sunset the fourth day night, the Essene observance of the Passover Seder was always on the third day evening of the week  (Finegan 1998:43, 48).)

The Talmud does not explain this calendar exactly, but does mention the argument of the calendars between the Pharisees and Sadducees…

We (the Editors of this website) are observing according to the exact same principal. Once we identify the first day of the year is the 4th day of the week…hence we will know that 3 days later is the 7th Shabbat Day…In the Essenes day, there is NO “Wednesday”…beginning the 1st day of the year on the 4th day of the week just after the vernal equinox, the PassOver Feast days fall exactly on the same 4th day of the week, the 14th day in the same month, every year. Which bring us to the same Resurrection day every year: after our Messiah Yahushua was buried 3 days 3 nights, He arose before the sunset/before the ending of the 7th day weekly Shabbat! HalleluYah, HE is the Mater of our Shabbat!!

 How the Ancient Hebrew Calendar is Built

 NOTE:

To get a record of the mean sun calculations as they occur in Jerusalem time, go to this link: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html?n=110 . (Remember to examine the dates and times carefully know that from the link, they are only mean calculations and not true incidences and work out when the true sun equinox would be occurring or you could be a day too early!) . Keep a copy of this page as a record for the future it presents the means sun calculations for many years to come. 

שבת – Sabbath On this calendar, every seventh day is called a sabbath. See h7676 Additionally, the word sabbath is also associated to the concepts of rest and cessation. See h7673 – 7676

High Sabbath or Sabbath’own – שבתון A Sabbath’own, see h7677, is a Great or High Sabbath, and it can also be a Solemn Sabbath. It may occur on a day that is not a seventh day Sabbath indicating that this day is a special day of rest or solemnity.

Solemn Assembly or Atsara – עצרה An Atsara, see h6116, is a Solemn Assembly. It is characterized as an assembly called to be solemn. To be solemn is to not be cheerful and a time in which there is deep sincerity within the people in that assembly.

Set Apart Convocation or Miqra Qodesh – קדש מקרא A Miqra Qodesh, see h4744 and h6944, or Set Apart Convocation is set up for gatherings to remember set-apart days. These are, by definition, large formal assemblies of people.

The first example of this is the day after passover calling for an assembly to remember the feast of Unleavened Bread. Call for many to appear or Ra’ah Paniym – פנים ראה Ex 23:14-17 Three times a year all males are commanded to appear before YHWH/Yah’oah. These times are outlined as the feasts of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Weeks of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and In Gathering.

This Hebrew word ra’ah at h7200, has the feeling of to see something as in to feel, smell, behold, to perceive in the heart, and to hear a thing. In an assembly of this nature, all these things would be happening to the attendee. And the Hebrew word paniym at h6437, has the feeling of turning oneself as in to face a new direction, and as in to change one’s walk in a different direction. The idea was to turn one’s walk in life towards the path of YHWH/Yah’oah and the Torah (instructions). When we error from the mark, we err from the concept of love of Father, love of neighbor, and the concept of the family (father and mother). Therefore, these Ra’ah Paniym, were designed to realign the males so they could better guide their families and communities.

Step One

Let’s start building the Calendar starting in Exodus 12 where we are given in Torah that the first month has a first day.

Exodus 12: 1

And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying, 2 “This month is the beginning of months for you; it is the first month of the year for you.We learn the first day begins on the Spring Equinox. We will revisit this later in this document.

Enoch 72:34 So as at the beginning the year comes back to its course where the day becomes longer, and each night becomes shorter. see also Ex 13:4, Ex 23:15, Ex 34:18, Deut 16:1, Enoch 72:6 After we verify the Spring Equinox, that evening we start the calendar. as day one.

By using shadows on sticks in the ground the Spring Equinox can be verified, or go to this web site and type Jerusalem for the location. http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html?n=110 

Please note that the team producing this document and Hebrew translations, with prayer and by leadership of the Spirit of Truth, which is the hand of יהוה YHWH.

The days that come after the first day are special days to יהוה. Through Yahh, our Father Av has given us Torah to follow. Whenever we are given teachings, instructions, or direction, it is always designed for our benefit.

Weekly Shabbat

Day 1 of the new calendar year

Evening of Spring Equinox

Notice that we don’t use the day names like we have on a Gregorian calendar for obvious reasons. These day names are heathen based names.

Fun Fact about the Day 31: the “intercalary.”

Enoch 75
And the leaders of the heads of the thousands, who are placed over the whole creation and over all the stars, have also to do with the four intercalary days, being inseparable from their office. According to the reckoning of the year, these render service on the four days, which are not counted in the calculation of the year.
2 On account of these men go wrong, for those luminaries truly render service on the world-stations, one in the first gate, one in the third gate of the heaven, one in the fourth gate, and one in the sixth gate, and the exactness of the year is accomplished through its separate three hundred and sixty-four stations.
Night and Day
Why does a day begin at sunrise? The first clue is found in Genesis 1:5
… It became evening. And then it became the morrow,  this was the first day of a multitude of days.
The stars or Angels are the leaders of the Calendar. They have been given a job, and by oath keep it in perfect and constant order. The Stars enter first.
Another clue comes from Enoch.
Enoch 82:8 He has power over night and day in the heaven to cause the light to give light to men from the sun, moon, and stars, and all the powers of the heaven, which revolve in their circular chariots. 9 These are the orders of the stars, which set in their places, and in their seasons, festivals, and months. 10 And these are the names of those who lead them, who watch that they enter at their times, in their orders, in their seasons, in their months, in their periods of dominion, and in their positions. 11 Their four leaders who divide the four parts of the year enter first; and after them the twelve leaders of the orders who divide the months; and for the three hundred and sixty days there are heads over thousands who divide the days; and for the four intercalary days there are the leaders which divide the four parts of the year.
Woe
Yet another clue comes in the form of a Great Woe. Woe to us in following the lead of the Treacherous Watchers!
Enoch 82:4 Blessed are all the righteous. Blessed are all those who walk in the way of righteousness and do not as the sinners, the treacherous Watchers! In the reckoning of all their days,  in which the sun traverses the heaven entering into and departing from the gates for thirty days with the heads of thousands of the order of the stars, together with the four which are intercalated which divide the four portions of the year, which lead them and enter with them four days.
How do we know the First Day and Duration of a Year?
According to Enoch, a year has 364 days. Each year has 52 Sabbaths, every year for all generations. There are no leap days, or leap months. Other calendars count every day of the year. This requires the use of leap days as in a Gregorian calendar, leap months as in a Jewish Lunar-solar calendar.
The way to handle the fact that a year has 365.2422 days in a year is this difference of 1.2422 days is just waited out and not counted. We wait and observe the Spring Equinox to occur. The ancients required a constellation and the point where the sun rose through the constellation during the last observed equinox. When the Spring Equinox is confirmed, that evening at sunset the new year begins. The two witnesses to this first day are the Stars and the Sun. 
You can see how the stars are used at Enoch 74:
12 The sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity, but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days.
13 In three solar [and Sidereal] years there are 1,092 days [3 times 364], and in five years 1,820 days [5 times 364], and in eight years there are 2,912 days [8 times 364].

Thirteen weeks for each season and Four seasons, and a total of 52 weeks in the Year

Jubilee 6:23 And on the new moon(first day) of the first month, and on the new moon(first day) of the fourth month, and on the new moon(first day) of the seventh month, and on the new moon(first Day) of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year.  These are written and ordained 24 as a testimony forever.  29 … each had thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial, from the first to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the 30 third to the fourth. And all the days of the commandment will be two and fifty weeks of days, and (these will make) the entire year complete.
Another point to bring up from Enoch 74 is the fact that two methods of ensuring accuracy were employed. The solar and sidereal cycles are similar in duration. At Enoch 74:12 The Sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity, but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days. A principle in the Hebrew language is that when you double something you are emphasizing its importance. So here we see that two methods are used for verification. This is because of the importance of this ancient calendar.
The Stars have a cycle used for calendars and time keeping. Their cycle is called a Sidereal cycle. The length of a sidereal day is 23.93446 hours. The length of a sidereal year is 365.25 days. Sidereal time is calculated from watching the stars and their relation to the revolution of the earth on its axis and the rotation of earth around the sun. Notice that the times for the day and the year are very similar to that of the solar cycle.
Two witnesses to confirm the first day
The consistency of the star’s location and the sun’s location are used as two witnesses to the first day of the calendar so that we all, from generation to generation, can observe the sabbath on the same seventh day, and the feast days on their appointed days and times.
The Duration of 24 hours
The Earth revolves around its axis at a fairly constant rate. Its rate is affected by earthquakes and other cosmic influences. Nevertheless, it does change, but the change is so small it is almost undetectable. A leap second was added in 1972, and 40 years later one in 2012. This is a testament to Father’s hand in this situation.
What is a Day?
The Hebrew word yom has several meanings. Using a Gesenius, a Benner, and a Klein Lexicon we see these meanings for the word יום: heat, the day, a day, a festival day, time, at that time, then, at some time, at the time in which – as in the word “when”. The definition of this word is important to consider because the word יום is used in Genesis 1:5 to describe the first day. It was called a yom even though the sun was not created. The sun has nothing to do with the usage of this term. The same is true for Genesis 1:8, and 13. In this case the first three days where counted as days. Perhaps by the precision of the earth’s rotation. YHWH/Yaha’oha was the light that was provided for those three days. His presence was the light source. As we read in the Revelation of John 22:5 And night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the light of the sun, because יהוה Elohim shall give them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

Step two

Next step in understanding the Torah of the Calendar is in Leviticus. We are told that we are to work for six days and then on the seventh day we are to rest.

Leviticus 23 (from a translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls):

1 And יהוה  spoke by turning towards Moshe and commanded by saying,
2 speak by turning yourself towards the sons of Yisra’el.  Say to them as you motion towards them;  Your places where you assemble on a regular basis, יהוה  said, in order for you to be successful, call a meeting to read from the Scroll. Read to all those assembled in that place.  Call out and encourage them to come towards you.
Doing these things are Set Apart and are for reverence and adoration at that time during their assembly.
3 Six times you are to produce by labor, the service that is prescribed to a person.  And then on the seventh day, you are to return to your habitation to rest and cease from your prescribed work.

Use this day to consider what it takes to cease from our labor in an assembly with a reading from the Kadosh Scroll.

Whatsoever service is prescribed to anyone, you are not to labor over this anymore. Cease from your labor and adjust your focus towardsיהוה  with an idea that all things in the farm or home are done and complete for this day.  By adjusting your focus towards to, יהוה you can rest your mind in your assembly of persons that have come together for sitting.

This verse is part of a list of the various Angels and their main responsibilities.

Enoch 20:6  Saraqael, one of the set-apart Messengers, who is over those people which have a desire to keep Sabbath.

Just amazing. There is an Angel who is assigned to watch over those who desire to keep Sabbath.

Keeping the seventh day Sabbath as a separate day is for all people who want to keep it.

Isaiah 56:

3 “And let not the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to יהוה speak, saying, ‘יהוה has certainly separated me from His people,’ nor let the eunuch say, ‘Look I am a dry tree.’ ”
4 For thus said יהוה, “To the eunuchs who guard My Sabbaths, and have chosen what pleases Me, and hold fast to My covenant:
5 to them I shall give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters – I give them an everlasting name that is not cut off.
6 “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to יהוה, to serve Him, and to love the Name of יהוה, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and hold fast to My covenant –
7 them I shall bring to My set-apart mountain, and let them rejoice in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their slaughtering’s  are accepted on My altar, for My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
8 The Master יהוה, who gathers the outcasts of Yisra’ĕl, declares, “I gather still others to him besides those who are gathered to him.”

 Difference between a Sabbath day and a day of Set Apart Convocation

In Leviticus 23:3 we receive Torah concerning rest on the seventh day and that we should read together on this seventh day, and that we should consider all work any of us have been prescribed to do as completed, and that we are to call out an encourage others to join in the reading of the Scroll, and to use this day as a day of reverence and adoration of all things our Father Av has provided to us through YHWH.  A Sabbath rest has been appointed for every seventh day throughout the year. Sabbath means rest, Sabbath does not mean seventh day. We have associated the seventh day and Sabbath because of the Torah to have a Sabbath on the Seventh day. Nevertheless, a day of Sabbath can be appointed on days that are not the seventh day. We see this at Leviticus 23.
27 “On the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.
28 “And you do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before יהוה your Elohim.
29 “For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.
30 “And any being who does any work on that same day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people.
31 “You do no work – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.”
We see here in these verses that both the ninth day and the tenth day of Month Seven are appointed as a day of rest, a Sabbath day, and notice on the calendar that these days are not on the seventh day.
So what is the difference between a Sabbath and a Kadosh Convocation?  A Sabbath is a command directed towards an individual. The individual must rest from their prescribed work. The command of a Set Apart Convocation is directed towards an assembly of people. An assembly can praise Yahh in Hymn singing, Dance, and group reading of the Kadosh Scroll. We read that some Set Apart Convocations are also days where a Sabbath is commanded to have rest from our individually prescribed work. This is what we read above in Leviticus 23:32.
In both a Sabbath rest and during a Kodash Convocation, people did not sit around doing nothing. We have to be somewhat active to eat and drink and the animals need to eat and drink, too. In Leviticus 23:3 we read that the key to this rest day is the focus of our mind and heart. Our mind and heart are more precious than the act of sitting down.
Lev 23:3 Six times you are to produce by labor, the service that is prescribed to a person.  And then on the seventh day, you are to return to your habitation to rest and cease from your prescribed work.
Use this day to consider what it takes to cease from our labor in an assembly with a reading from the Set Apart Scroll.

Whatsoever service is prescribed to anyone, you are not to labor over this anymore. Cease from your labor and adjust your focus towards Yaha’oha with an idea that all things in the farm or home are done and complete for this day.  By adjusting your focus towards Yaha’oha, you can rest your mind in your assembly of persons that have come together for sitting.

So now we can build the Calendar in this second step. We will add the Sabbath day.

Fun Fact about the seventh day

It seems silly to say that the Shabbat day is always the Gregorian Saturday day. It is consistently the Shabbat day in a cycle of seven days. A year has 364 days. Note that 364/7=52. There are 52 Sabbaths in a year. The Torah is clear that every seven days, during the year, we have a Sabbath. To begin a calendar on any other day by not using a seven day period leading up to a Sabbath, is following a method that does not adhere to Torah instruction.

The focus of the Sabbath is the command from our Creator Father Av, that the seventh day of rest is after the sixth day of work.

The example at the creation, was six days of work, and then the rest.

Ex 20:9 “Six days you labour, and shall do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath of יהוה your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
11 “For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה baruch the Sabbath day and set it apart.

Here again in Exodus 20 we read that the focus is the number of days.

The word (day) יום in Hebrew can also mean a time period, or time itself, and the heat of the day, and to be warm, the opposite of night, a festival day.

The example we have in Genesis 1, is the use of the word day. A “day” was founded on the fact that a “day” is a time period established on the completion of one rotation of the earth on its axis. It has nothing to do with the sun’s appearance at all. We have proof of this in the first three creation days. The days were called days without a sun.

The point is, the seventh day is after a six day period, was to be the focus of the day of rest, is reiterated at Exodus 20:11, 31:15, 17, 32:12, 34:21, 35:2, Leviticus 23:3, Deuteronomy 5:13, Ezekiel 46:1, and Luke 13:14.

 

Step Three

Exodus 12 (from The Scriptures Version 1998):

1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying,

2 “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you.

3 “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.

4 ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb.

5 ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats.

6 ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the evenings.

Let us first look at the three facts here; We are told to observe the First month, the tenth day of this month, and the fourteenth day of this month.

In Exodus 12:3, we read that a lamb or a goat was to be selected. A perfect one year old male. This lamb is called a paschal lamb. This lamb is intended for פסח pronounced Pe-sa-kh. The kh is a guttural sound from the back of the throat. פסח means to pass over, to pass by or to spare. This word does have other uses; nevertheless, this is the word for the feast called Passover.

 We also read in the torah of the Passover observance at Exodus 12:14, Leviticus 23:5, Numbers 28:16, Deuteronomy 16:1, and in Jubilees 49:1.

 Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread

To build the next line in the Ancient Hebrew Calendar, we need to read Leviticus 23 again.

Leviticus 23 (from a Translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls)

4 These things that follow are the set times of  YHWH/Yaha’oha. They are to come from the person who calls people towards them to read from the Qodesh Scroll. To be successful, what is desired is that you cry out to all the multitude at each of these set times.

5 In the beginning of the year in the first month in the fourteenth day of the month just after when you can distinguish the division which starts the day, when there is still enough light to see things after the sunset; This is the time for YHWH’s “Passover” of Sparing the first born.

6 On the Fifteenth day, in the beginning of the year, perceive in your mind a circle for dancing. This circle is like the unleavened bread which is YHWH/Yaha’oha. And for seven times, as in seven days, you are commanded to eat this unleavened bread.

7 On the first day call a Qodesh assembly, and let it come to pass, you are to subdue your working of the work that is prescribed to you, for it is a service of obligation not to labor over something.

8  In coming together, in order to be close, you will bring a sacrifice of healing, which is Yaha’oha, seven times as in each of the seven days. And the day time of the seventh day is a Qodesh Convocation for you shall read the Qodesh Scroll and you are to subdue your working of the work that is prescribed to you, for it is a service of obligation not to labor over something on this day.

In Jubilee 6:24-25 ... And Noah ordained them for himself as feasts for the generations for ever, 25 so that they have become thereby a memorial unto him. And on the new moon (first day) of the first month he was bidden to make for himself an ark,

Step Four

We are going to add the last two lines in the Calendar for Month One. From the Spring Equinox to the last day we have 30 days.  We find this in Enoch 72:8-13 where we read of a cycle of days consisting of 30 days, then 30 days, then 31 days.

The year is divided into four seasons, each consisting of 91 days. The first two months of each season has 30 days and the last month of each season has 31 days. Each year has 364 days. These 364 days per year is done in prudent understanding and divine counsel, so that the calendar is always the same for generation to generation.

There is no leap days, or leap months. This is a common way to handle the fact that a year has 365.25 days in a year. So this difference of 1.25 days is just waited out and not counted. We wait and observe the Spring Equinox to occur. It requires Sunshine to confirm it. When the Spring Equinox is observed, that evening at sunset begins the new year. We see how this is determined at Leviticus 23:5 … just after when you can distinguish the division which starts the day, when there is still enough light to see things after the sunset; this is the time for the YHWH’s Passover of Sparing the first born.

We now have added the appointed days we are to remember from generation to generation in Month one.

Remembrance Day, day 1

Day 1 is the day to remember Noah’s exit from the Ark and the covenant of not to eat blood.  Jubilees 6:1-12

Bring First Fruits, day 15

Day 15 we read this is the day to bring in your first fruits. Jubilee 15:1, and Jubilee 16:13-14 This day is a Qodesh Convocation. Leviticus 23:20-21 were we see the priest waves harvest sheaves, and two lambs that will be sacrificed.

Feasts of Weeks, and Feast of First Fruits, starts day 26

Day 26 is the First day of the Feast of Weeks. This feast lasts for 50 days. Another name for this last day of the feast is Pentecost. Jubilees 6:17-22, Exodus 34:22, and Leviticus 23:15-21 This day is also the Feast of First Fruits. We read this at Jubilee 6:21. This day is also the day for the Wave Offering and Burnt Offering of Grain, Incense, and Wine. We read of this in Leviticus 23:11-13. Day 26 is one of the three days that Males are required to have a convocation. We see this at Deuteronomy 16:16.

Next add the appointed days to the calendar.

Pentecost

Leviticus 23:15 ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed Sabbaths.

16 ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה.

17 ‘Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven, first-fruits to יהוה.

18 ‘And besides the bread, you shall bring seven lambs a year old, perfect ones, and one young bull and two rams. They are a burnt offering to יהוה, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet fragrance to יהוה.

19 ‘And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old, as a peace offering.

20 ‘And the priest shall wave them, besides the bread of the first-fruits, as a wave offering before יהוה, besides the two lambs. They are set-apart to יהוה for the priest.

21 ‘And on this same day you shall proclaim a set-apart gathering for yourselves, you do no servile work on it – a law forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

 Step Two

Next we need to add the appointed day we are to remember from generation to generation. For Month Two we read in Number 9:6-11 that men that are unclean, or on a journey can celebrate Passover on Month Two on Day fourteen.

Numbers 9 (from The Scriptures 1998 version)

6 But there were men who were defiled for a being of a man, so that they were not able to perform the Passover on that day. So they came before Mosheh and Aharon that day,

7 and those men said to him, “We are defiled for the being of a man. Why are we withheld from bringing near the offering of יהוה at its appointed time among the children of Yisra’ĕl?”

8 And Mosheh said to them, “Wait, let me hear what יהוה commands concerning you.”

9 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

10 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When any male of you or your generations is unclean for a being, or is far away on a journey, he shall still perform the Passover of יהוה.

11 ‘On the fourteenth day of the second month, between the evenings, they perform it – with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they eat it.

In Numbers 9:11 we see a curious phrase, “between the evenings.” This is a traditional understanding of this term, from the Gesenius Lexicon; When the sun visibly dips behind the horizon, this is the first evening, and the second evening is the time while the sun’s light is still visible and all is dark, which is then called the night.

Doing something between the evenings, is the period when you can still see to do things. When slaughtering a lamb, you need to use a sharp knife and this requires some light to be safe in what you are doing.

To get an idea of what makes a man unclean, please read the entire chapters of Leviticus 11, Leviticus 13, and Numbers 5.

Month Three

Step One

The Months with 31 days

In months with 31 days, there is a technical term for this ‘Thirty First’ day; it is “intercalary.” The definition of this word is; A day that is inserted into a calendar to make it harmonize with the year. In some calendars these are leap days, and leap months. The Ancient Calendar given to Enoch does not have any leap days or leap months. It has always been the same each year, and will continue to be consistent from generation to generation.

 Fun Fact about Day 31

Enoch 75
And the leaders of the heads of the thousands, who are placed over the whole creation and over all the stars, have also to do with the four intercalary days, being inseparable from their office. According to the reckoning of the year, these render service on the four days, which are not counted in the calculation of the year.
2 On account of these men go wrong, for those luminaries truly render service on the world-stations, one in the first gate, one in the third gate of the heaven, one in the fourth gate, and one in the sixth gate, and the exactness of the year is accomplished through its separate three hundred and sixty-four stations.
How do we know the First Day and Duration of a Year?
According to Enoch, a year has 364 days. Each year has 52 Sabbaths, every year for all generations. There are no leap days, or leap months. Other calendars count every day of the year. This requires the use of leap days as in a Gregorian calendar, leap months as in a Jewish Lunar-solar calendar.
The way to handle the fact that a year has 365.2422 days in a year is this difference of 1.2422 days is just waited out and not counted. We wait and observe the Spring Equinox to occur. The ancients required a constellation and the point where the sun rose through the constellation during the last observed equinox. When the Spring Equinox is confirmed, that evening at sunset the new year begins. The two witnesses to this first day are the Stars and the Sun. 
You can see how the stars are used at Enoch 74:
12 The sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity, but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days.
13 In three solar [and Sidereal] years there are 1,092 days [3 times 364], and in five years 1,820 days [5 times 364], and in eight years there are 2,912 days [8 times 364].
Thirteen weeks for each season and Four seasons, and a total of 52 weeks in the Year
Jubilee 6:23 And on the new moon(first day) of the first month, and on the new moon(first day) of the fourth month, and on the new moon (First Day) of the seventh month, and on the new moon(First Day) of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year.  These are written and ordained 24 as a testimony forever.  29 … each had thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial, from the first to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the 30 third to the fourth. And all the days of the commandment will be two and fifty weeks of days, and (these will make) the entire year complete.
Another point to bring up from Enoch 74 is the fact that two methods of ensuring accuracy were employed. The solar and sidereal cycles are similar in duration. At Enoch 74:12 The Sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity, but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days. A principle in the Hebrew language is that when you double something you are emphasizing its importance. So here we see that two methods are used for verification. This is because of the importance of this ancient calendar.
The Stars have a cycle used for calendars and time keeping. Their cycle is called a Sidereal cycle. The length of a sidereal day is 23.93446 hours. The length of a sidereal year is 365.25 days. Sidereal time is calculated from watching the stars and their relation to the revolution of the earth on its axis and the rotation of earth around the sun. Notice that the times for the day and the year are very similar to that of the solar cycle.
Two witnesses to confirm the first day
The consistency of the star’s location and the sun’s location are used as two witnesses to the first day of the calendar so that we all, from generation to generation, can observe the Sabbath on the same seventh day, and the feast days on their appointed days and times.
The Duration of 24 hours
The Earth revolves around its axis at a fairly constant rate. Its rate is affected by earthquakes and other cosmic influences. Nevertheless, it does change, but the change is so small it is almost undetectable. A leap second was added in 1972, and 40 years later one in 2012. This is a testament to Father’s hand in this situation.
What is a Day?
The Hebrew word yom has several meanings. Using a Gesenius, a Benner, and a Klein Lexicon we see these meanings for the word יום: heat, the day, a day, a festival day, time, at that time, then, at some time, at the time in which – as in the word “when”. The definition of this word is important to consider because the word יום is used in Genesis 1:5 to describe the first day. It was called a yom even though the sun was not created. The sun has nothing to do with the usage of this term. The same is true for Genesis 1:8, and 13. In this case the first three days where counted as days. Perhaps by the precision of the earth’s rotation. Yaha’oha was the light that was provided for those three days. His presence was the light source. As we read in the Revelation of John 22:5 And night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the light of the sun, because יהוה Elohim shall give them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

Okay, after all that information, here is the Third Month.

Notice that is starts on Day 1 because the Month Two ends on the Day 7

 Month Four

The first three months were the first quarter of the year. We call it Spring time. The First Day of  Month Four marks the beginning of the next quarter. We call it Summer. The calendar was used for religious and civil activities, and for farmers. For farmers, it was used to mark the time to accomplish activities required to have a successful harvest.

Step One

This is easy. It is repeating Month1. It is the same except for the appointed feast and remembrance days.

You will notice that each quarter repeats. Months 1-3 which are the first quarter, repeat into 4-6 which are the second quarter, and then 6-9 which are the third quarter, and lastly 10-12 which are the fourth quarter.

 In Jubilee 6:23-26 we read the command to remember the first day of this month for two reasons. In Jubilees, and in other scripture, the Hebrew phrase new moon can also be translated as the new of the month, or what we would call the first day.

Jubilee 6:23 And on the new moon of the first month, and on the new moon of the fourth month, and on the new moon of the seventh month, and on the new moon of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year. These are written and ordained
24 as a testimony for ever. And Noah ordained them for himself as feasts for the generations for ever,
25 so that they have become thereby a memorial unto him.

26 … And on the new moon of the fourth month the mouths of the depths of the abyss beneath were closed.

Lev 23:

12 ‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a male lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to יהוה,

13 and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to יהוה, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine.

14 ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

15 ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed Sabbaths.

16 ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה.

17 ‘Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven, first-fruits to יהוה.

18 ‘And besides the bread, you shall bring seven lambs a year old, perfect ones, and one young bull and two rams. They are a burnt offering to יהוה, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet fragrance to יהוה.

19 ‘And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old, as a peace offering.

20 ‘And the priest shall wave them, besides the bread of the first-fruits, as a wave offering before יהוה, besides the two lambs. They are set-apart to יהוה for the priest.

21 ‘And on this same day you shall proclaim a set-apart gathering for yourselves, you do no servile work on it – a law forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

Trumpets, day 1

Leviticus 23:23 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

24 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you have a rest, a remembrance of blowing of trumpets, a set-apart gathering.

25 ‘You do no servile work, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.’ ”

Numbers 29: 1 ‘And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work, it is a day of blowing the trumpets for you.

2 ‘And you shall prepare a burnt offering as a sweet fragrance to יהוה: one young bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones,

3 and their grain offering: fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths of an ĕphah for the bull, two-tenths for the ram,

4 and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs,

5 and one male goat as a sin offering, to make atonement for you,

6 besides the burnt offering with its grain offering for the New Moon (first day), the continual burnt offering with its grain offering, and their drink offerings, according to their right-ruling, as a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה.

Remembrance Day, day 1

Jubilee 5: 29 ... and on the new moon of the seventh month all the mouths of the abysses 30 of the earth were opened, and the water began to descend into the deep below.

Jubilee 6:23 And on the new moon (first day) of the first month, and on the new moon (first day) of the fourth month, and on the new moon (first day) of the seventh month, and on the new moon (first day) of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year. These are written and ordained

24 as a testimony for ever.

26 …And on the new moon (first day) of the seventh month all the mouths of

27 the abysses of the earth were opened and the waters began to descend into them.

Yom Kapar, days 9-10

Notice that there are two days appointed for Yom Kapar. The first day is for preparation. It is a day of rest, or a sabbath. This is another example of a day of rest, or a day of sabbath that is appointed on a day that is not on the seventh day.

Leviticus 16:

1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh after the death of the two sons of Aharon, as they drew near before יהוה, and died.

2 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Speak to Aharon your brother not to come in at all times to the Set-apart Place inside the veil, before the lid of atonement which is on the ark, lest he die, because I appear in the cloud above the lid of atonement.

3 “With this Aharon should come into the Set-apart Place: with the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering.

4 “He should put on the set-apart linen long shirt, with linen trousers on his flesh, and gird himself with a linen girdle, and be dressed with the linen turban – they are set-apart garments. And he shall bathe his body in water, and shall put them on.

5 “And from the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl he takes two male goats as a sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering.

6 “And Aharon shall bring the bull as a sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.

7 “And he shall take the two goats and let them stand before יהוה at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

8 “And Aharon shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for יהוה and the other lot for Azazel.

9 “And Aharon shall bring the goat on which the lot for יהוה fell, and shall prepare it as a sin offering.

10 “But the goat on which the lot for Azazel fell is caused to stand alive before יהוה, to make atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness to Azazel.

11 “And Aharon shall bring the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall slaughter the bull as the sin offering which is for himself,

12 and shall take a fire holder filled with burning coals of fire from the altar before יהוה, with his hands filled with sweet incense beaten fine, and shall bring it inside the veil.

13 “And he shall put the incense on the fire before יהוה, and the cloud of incense shall cover the lid of atonement which is on the Witness, lest he die.

14 “And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the lid of atonement on the east side, also in front of the lid of atonement he sprinkles some of the blood with his finger seven times.

15 “And he shall slaughter the goat of the sin offering, which is for the people, and shall bring its blood inside the veil, and shall do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the lid of atonement and in front of the lid of atonement.

16 “And he shall make atonement for the Set-apart Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and because of their transgressions in all their sins. And so he does for the Tent of Meeting which is dwelling with them in the midst of their uncleanness.

17 “And no man should be in the Tent of Meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the Set-apart Place, until he comes out. And he shall make atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Yisra’ĕl.

18 “And he shall go out to the altar that is before יהוה, and make atonement for it. And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around.

19 “And he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and set it apart from the uncleanness of the children of Yisra’ĕl.

20 “And when he has finished atoning for the Set-apart Place, and the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat.

21 “Then Aharon shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and shall confess over it all the crookednesses of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and all their transgressions in all their sins, and shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a fit man.

22 “And the goat shall bear on itself all their crookednesses, to a land cut off. Thus he shall send the goat away into the wilderness.

23 “Aharon shall then come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Set-apart Place, and shall leave them there.

24 “And he shall bathe his body in water in the set-apart place, and shall put on his garments, and shall come out and prepare his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people,

25 and burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.

26 “And he who sent away the goat to Azazel washes his garments, and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward he comes into the camp.

27 “And the bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Set-apart Place, is brought outside the camp. And they shall burn their skins, and their flesh, and their dung with fire.

28 “And he who burns them washes his garments, and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward he comes into the camp.

29 “And this shall be for you a law forever: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you afflict your beings, and do no work, the native or the stranger who sojourns among you.

30 “For on that day he makes atonement for you, to cleanse you, to be clean from all your sins before יהוה.

31 “It is a Sabbath of rest for you, and you shall afflict your beings – a law forever.

32 “And the priest, who is anointed and ordained to serve as priest in his father’s place, shall make atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, the set-apart garments,

33 and he shall make atonement for the Most Set-apart Place, and make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar, and make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

34 “And this shall be for you a law forever, to make atonement for the children of Yisra’ĕl, for all their sins, once a year.” And he did as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

Leviticus 23: 26 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

27 “On the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.

28 “And you do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before יהוה your Elohim.

29 “For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.

30 “And any being who does any work on that same day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people.

31 “You do no work – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.”

Leviticus 16:31 from The Translation version
31 This is a day to stop all labor to celebrate the sabbath of the One who provides rest.  And you are to look and sigh out of a passionate expression of sorrow and grief.

You who has solemnly, and with a loud voice cried out when you realized you have done an action that causes a stain.

You who do these things, to celebrate the rest of the One who provides rest and cry out in sorrow for these stains, will find refreshment and bring life to those who pine for the laws and ordinances of Heaven.

In this translated version of Leviticus 16:31 above, notice that the word afflict is ענה and it has two definitions. The first one is used to describe; to sing, to call, to read, solemnly with a loud voice, to lift up the voice, to begin to speak, to answer, to signify h6030. The second definition is to make someone to labor, to exercise oneself in something, to be afflicted as in depressed and oppressed, to submit to someone, to fast h6031. On a day of rest we are not to work, so the second definition should not be used. This translation uses the first definition.

Numbers 29:7 ‘And on the tenth day of this seventh month you have a set-apart gathering, and you shall afflict your beings, you do no work.

8 ‘And you shall bring near a burnt offering to יהוה, a sweet fragrance: one young bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones they are for you,

9 and their grain offering: fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths of an ĕphah for the bull, two-tenths for the one ram,

10 one-tenth for each of the seven lambs,

11 one male goat as a sin offering, besides the sin offering for atonement, the continual burnt offering with its grain offering, and their drink offerings.

Feast of Tabernacles (sukkot) and Feast of In-Gathering, days 15-22

Festival of Tabernacles (sukkot) days 15-21

Leviticus 23:33 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

34 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Booths for seven days to יהוה.

35 ‘On the first day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.

36 ‘For seven days you bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. On the eighth day there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. It is a closing festival, you do no servile work.

37 ‘These are the appointed times of יהוה which you proclaim as set-apart gatherings, to bring an offering made by fire to יהוה, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a slaughtering and drink offerings, as commanded for every day –

38 besides the Sabbaths of יהוה, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings which you give to יהוה.

Feast of In-Gathering days 15-21

Leviticus 23:

39 ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the fruit of the land, observe the festival of יהוה for seven days. On the first day is a rest, and on the eighth day a rest.

40 ‘And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of good trees, branches of palm trees, twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the stream, and shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim for seven days.

41 ‘And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה for seven days in the year – a law forever in your generations. Observe it in the seventh month.

42 ‘Dwell in booths for seven days; all who are native Yisra’ĕlites dwell in booths,

43 so that your generations know that I made the children of Yisra’ĕl dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ”

Exodus 23 15 – and do not appear before Me empty-handed;

16 and the Festival of the Harvest, the first-fruits of your labours which you have sown in the field; and the Festival of the Ingathering at the outgoing of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labours from the field.

17 “Three times in the year all your males are to appear before the Master יהוה.

Notice here in verse 15-17 that all males must attend, and they are not to show up empty handed and must contribute to the celebration.

Numbers 29:12 ‘And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work. And you shall observe a festival to יהוה seven days,

Day 22 closing day of these two festivals is both a rest day and a Holy Convocation

Numbers 29:35 ‘On the eighth day you have an assembly, you do no servile work,

36 and you shall bring near a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה: one bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones,

37 their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the right-ruling,

38 and one goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.

 Time to Wait

Month 12, day 31 is the last day of the calendar, and it is the 364th day in the calendar.

So now we wait. In this waiting period we do not count the day number. There are actually 1.2422 days in this waiting period. It seems odd in a society that counts every minute as if they are precious, to have a waiting period that is not counted.

We simply wait it out, and confirm the Spring Equinox has occurred.  This waiting period becomes like a reset button on a timing device. When the Spring Equinox is confirmed, in that evening we start Month One, Day 1.

This repeats for Generation, to Generation, and it never changes. This calendar is the same today, as it was in the Time of Enoch when he first received it from the Sky traveler/ the author.

Additional Items  

Command for Men to appear, three times

Exodus 34:21 “Six days you work, but on the seventh day you rest – in ploughing time and in harvest you rest.

22 “And perform the Festival of Weeks for yourself, of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.

23 “Three times in the year all your men are to appear before the Master, יהוה, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl,

 Command to wear Tzitziyot , days 1-364

Numbers 15:37 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

38 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them to make tzitziyot on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue cord in the tzitzit of the corners.

39 “And it shall be to you for a tzitzit, and you shall see it, and shall remember all the commands of יהוה and shall do them, and not search after your own heart and your own eyes after which you went whoring,

40 so that you remember, and shall do all My commands, and be set-apart unto your Elohim.

41 “I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. I am יהוה your Elohim.”

How to Determine the Spring Equinox

The most important thing to do is to determine the date and time of the Spring Equinox.

The easiest thing to do today is look it up from data provided by some astronomical service. Here is an example site: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/march-equinox.html Many sites let you enter your location. Remember that March 20th in the Americas is March 21st in Asia. This is due to the international date line.

 Combining the Gregorian calendar 2014 and the Calendar Revealed to Enoch

For all practical reasons, I will show how to couple the Gregorian Calendar to the Calendar revealed to Enoch. This 2014 calendar set is relative to people who live east of the international date line. As in people living in North America. See below, calendars for people living west of the date line.

E.  Explanation of Enoch’s calendar By Wayne Thibodeaux

also: http://man-child.com/?p=2254

 

F. Taken from “THE JUBILEE CALENDAR” by Mikhael Bauer 

“….The Encyclopedia of Religion And Ethics records that even into the 9th Century C.E. remaining Zaddikim observed Solar months of 30 days, similar to this Egyptian Solar Calendar. The Zaddikim (called the Sadducees in the English Bible) were a sect formed of Priests, merchants, and aristocrats. Their name derives from Zadok, the high priest in the days of King David. Y’chezkel (Ezekiel 40:46; 43:19 & 44:10-15) selected this family as worthy of being entrusted with the control of the Mikdash. They were the conservative priestly group, holding to the older doctrines.

The Qumran Community, composed of these Zaddikim observed the Solar Jubilee Calendar.

Moshe had been educated as a prince in Egypt. His knowledge of the solar calendar was evidently passed to his brother Aharon; and this knowledge remained with Aharon and the priesthood. Egypt kept a year of 365 days. Every four years this calendar would fall one day short of the solar cycle. The Jubilee (solar) calendar, with 364 days, would fall five days short in the same period of time. However by observing the Biblical command concerning when to begin the year, this calendar would remain correct – and the High Holy Days would fall on the same day of the week every year.

………..

“The distinguished scholar Geza Vermes has written ‘To the (Qumran) Community this (the Lunar calendar) was an abomination of the Gentiles and directly counter to the certain Law from the mouth of G-d. It had itself (the Qumran Community) inherited, probably from priestly circles, a solar calendar based on the laws of the Great Light in heaven (Gen. 1:14) in which the year was divided into fifty-two weeks exactly; into, that is to say, four seasons of thirteen weeks'” (Pfeiffer, p. 75; Levy, 1983). Hebrew University Professor S. Talmon’s book, “The World of Qumran from Within,” contains a table outlining the Jubilee solar calendar, which, unlike the lunar calendar of Rabbinic Judaism, is remarkable for its regularity. Professor Talmon shows the first day of the New Year always falls on Wednesday ( the 4th day of the week; there is NO Wednesday in the 1st century). This meant that the Day of Atonement always fell on a Friday ( the 6th day of the week); Sukkot on a Wednesday( the 4th day of the week); Pesach on a Wednesday (the 4th day of the week); and the Feast of Weeks on a Sunday ( the 1st day of the week). Shemaryahu Talmon. The World of Qumran from Within (Jerusalem, 1989).

Found among the other scrolls at Qumran were the Book of Jubilees (Sefer Yobel) and the Book of Enoch; both of which explain the Hebrew version of the solar calendar. Until these scrolls were found at Qumran they had been only extant in the Ethiopic and Greek, since the early 1800’s. The Temple Scroll from Qumran affirms that this was the calendar used by the Community; besides being the calendar used by the Zaddikim (Sadducees). The Encyclopedia Judaica advises that the Falasha Jews use the calendar of the Book of Jubilees, and base their ritual observances on it (Vol. 10, p. 326). Kenneth A. Strand (Strand, pp. 33-45) advances persuasive arguments that “the 364 days fixed solar ‘priestly’ calendar… could well have been adopted by a segment of early (messianic Jews).” Since Shavuot/Pentecost always falls on “Sunday” ( the first day of the week, there is NO Sunday in the 1st century) on this calendar, Strand sees a possible inference in some gentile minds for the observance of “Sunday.”

If we can consider the Book of Jubilees as midrash, as it was undoubtedly intended, we find that the solar calendar consisted of 364 days, divided into four seasons of three months each, thirteen weeks to a season. Each month had thirty days, with one day intercalated for each of the four seasons. There were exactly fifty-two weeks in the year, the first day of the first month always falling on Wednesday (the 4th day of the week). Thus the festivals would always recur on exactly the same day of the week each year.

The year began on the fourth day of the week (Wednesday) because it was explicitly written in the opening chapter of Genesis: “And Elohim said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years…’ And it was so… And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day” (vs. 14-19). A traditional explanation for beginning each year and season on the 4th day of the week is found in the Talmud (“Rosh Hashanah” 11a): according to tradition the world was created in the (first month – Abib), and as the recognized era is reckoned from that event, an attempt was made to calculate the date of the conjunction which began the first month of Abib. The result arrived at was 4th day of the week, 9h, 642p,… i.e. Wednesday, 3h. 35’40” after midnight.

So then, the ancient Hebrews, believing the first day of the first year would have begun on the 4th day of the week – began each calendar year on this day of the week.”

G. Regarding the translation of first day of the month “Rosh Chodesh     ” is the New Day and NOT the new Moon…

 A different Article attach here, Click for PDF : Chodesh means month NOT moon

  • Some evidence as to the importance of this apparent FORGOTTEN day… Rosh Chodesh is the name for the beginning of Every month in the Hebrew calendar. The Hebrew phrase Rosh Chodesh has been incorrectly translated “new moon” to allow the false rabbinic calendar to be accepted by the unknowing. The literal translation is “Head (Rosh) of the Month (Chodesh),” and is used in context as meaning new month. The Dead Sea Scrolls use this same phrase throughout the scrolls that lay out the solar calendar with its feasts. The word CHODESH is used over 256 times in the Old Testament and always refers to a MONTH, solar month, not a moon of any type. Numbers 28:11 And in the beginning of your MONTHS -Chodesh you shall offer a burnt offering to Eloah: two young bulls, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot, Numbers 28:12 and three tenth parts of flour for a food offering, mixed with oil, for one bull, and two-tenth parts of flour for a food offering, mixed with oil, for one ram; Numbers 28:13 and a separate tenth part of flour mixed with oil for a food offering to one lamb, for a burnt offering of a sweet savor, a fire offering to Eloah. Numbers 28:14 And their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine to a bull, and the third of a hin to a ram, and a fourth a hin to a lamb. This is the burnt offering of Every MONTH-Chodesh throughout the MONTHS-Chodesh of the year. Numbers 28:15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering to Jahwah shall be prepared, besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering. Numbers 29:6 besides the burnt offering of the MONTH-Chodesh, and its food offering, and the daily burnt offering, and its food offering, and their drink offerings, according to their ordinance, for a sweet savor, a fire offering to Eloah. 1Ch 23:31 And they were to offer all burnt sacrifices to Eloah in the Shabbat, in the Chodesh, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually before Eloah, 1 Samuel 20:5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the Chodesh, and I should not fail to sit at table with the king. But let me go so that I may hide myself in the field until the third day at Evening. 1Samuel 20:27 And it happened on the next day, the second day of the Chodesh, David’s place was empty. And Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why does the son of Jesse not come to the meal, neither yesterday nor today? 1Samuel 20:34 and Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger, and did not eat food on the second day of the Chodesh. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to shame.
  • Given the very first commandment to the Hebrew nation was one pertaining to the Rosh Chodesh should be an indication of its supreme importance. If this ordinance was of no importance there would have been no reason for its banning during the period of the Syrian-Greek persecution. As it was, the Rosh Chodesh was one of only three commandments whose observance was prohibited. The other two forbidden commandments were the Shabbat and circumcision, proof enough that the observance of the Rosh Chodesh had great significance. Observing the Rosh Chodesh is so important that Hosea is told by Elah that He will take away HIS Rosh Chodesh as one of the penalties for not obeying HIS WORD, WORSHIPING IDOLS and RELYING ON THE BEAST SYSTEM. Hosea 2:1 Speak to your brethren, Ammi (H5971 My People), and to your sister, Ruhamah (H7355 Shown Mercy upon)! Hosea 2:2 Plead with your mother! Plead! For she is not my wife, and I am not her husband… After much warning and pleading Elah has divorced His people due to their idolatry. …And I will lift away her harlotry from in front of me, and her adultery from between her breasts; Hosea 2:3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. Hosea 2:4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms. Hosea 2:5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink. Hosea 2:6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. Hosea 2:7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now. Hosea 2:8 For she did not know that I gave her grain, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal. Hosea 2:9 Therefore will I return, and take away my grain in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
    Eloah removes His blessings and coverings, allowing His people to uncovered and unprotected. Hosea 2:10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. Hosea 2:11 I will also cause all her joy to cease, her feast days, her ROSH CHODESH, and her SHABBAT, and ALL HER APPOINTED FEASTS. Hosea 2:12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, They are my rewards that my lovers have given me. And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. Hosea 2:13 And I will visit on her the days of the Baals, in which she burned incense to them, and she adorned herself with her nose-rings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers and forgot Me, says Elah. Rosh Chodesh is neither a weekly Shabbat, a 6 day work day, nor is it an annual Feast Day with the exception of Yom Teruah. It is a day unto itself, which serves as a marker between the ending month and the new month. 2 Kings 4:17 And the woman conceived and bore a son at that time that Elisha had said to her, according to the time of life. 2 Kings 4:18 And the boy grew, and the day came that he went out to his father to the reapers. 2 Kings 4:19 And he said to his father, My head, my head! And he said to a lad, carry him to his mother. 2 Kings 4:20 And he carried him and brought him to his mother. And he sat on her knees until noon and died. 2 Kings 4:21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of Eloah, and shut the door on him and went out. 2 Kings 4:22 And she called to her husband and said, Please send me one of the young men and one of the asses so that I may run to the man of Eloah and come again. 2 Kings 4:23 And he said, Why will you go to him today? It is neither Rosh Chodesh nor Shabbat. And she said, It is well. We see evidence here that both the Rosh Chodesh and Shabbat are referenced equally significant, but NOT THE SAME. Her husband said why will you go to him today? Why would he ask? Because it was a work day as they had been out in the field reaping- the people would have ceased from their normal labors to assemble in the synagogues to hear the Torah read on the Shabbat and Rosh Chodesh days.
    Ezekiel 46:1 Thus saith Eloah: The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Shabbat day it shall be opened, and in the day of the Rosh Chodesh it shall be opened. Ezekiel 46:2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate; then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the Evening. Ezekiel 46:3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Eloah in the Shabbats and in the Rosh Chodesh. Ezekiel 46:4 And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer unto Eloah shall be in the Shabbat day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish; Ezekiel 46:5 and the meal-offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal-offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah. Ezekiel 46:6 And in the day of the Rosh Chodesh it shall be a young bullock without blemish; and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish; Ezekiel 46:7 and he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as his means suffice, and a hin of oil to an ephah. Ezekiel 46:8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof. Ezekiel 46:9 But when the people of the land shall come before Elah in the appointed seasons- Mo’edim, he that entereth by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate; he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth straight before him. Ezekiel instructs us as to the sacrifices Eloah expected at the different Mo’edim. We can clearly see that the Rosh Chodesh has an addition of the young bullock. This marks this day as a set-aside day which is the leader for the following thirty days and Shabbat cycle.

 

We have been told  for years that ‘rapture’ has never existed in scripture, yet many would not believe. Now, here are the facts from Biblical & Linguistic (both Hebrew and Greek) scholars.

Blending into One: The Left Behind Movie, the Book of Revelation and the Rapture   By Michelle Fletcher   •  10/14/2014

It’s a day like any other, and then—bam!—everything changes. Millions of people disappear in an instant and all that’s left are piles of clothes, iPods and wallets. Panic and terror break out. This is the scene that viewers are faced with in the new Left Behind movie, directed by Vic Armstrong, and it’s Nicolas Cage’s job to find out what’s happened. But the viewers already know the answer: it’s the Rapture, of course! The Biblical prophecies have come true.
Or have they?
The Rapture is now commonly understood to refer to a time when believers will be snatched up to heaven by Jesus to escape the time of tribulation about to engulf the earth during the reign of the Antichrist. This chain of events has become so integral to some Christian eschatologies (end-time theories) that it’s often assumed they’re clearly explained in the Bible, especially the book of Revelation. But in fact it’s all slightly more complicated than that.
The idea of a “pre-tribulation” Rapture, where believers disappear and everyone else is left on earth to suffer, is actually a rather new one. This type of Rapture was first made popular by the work of John Nelson Darby in the late 1800s. It then spread with the release of the Scofield Reference Bible (1909), and Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins sent it viral through their best-selling Left Behind book series. However, prior to this, “rapture” had referred to the second coming of Christ in general, rather than the supernatural escape from troubles as portrayed by Left Behind.
So how did this version of the Rapture come about?
The mention of an event where believers are “taken up” into the sky in the Bible primarily comes from Paul’s First letter to the Thessalonians. In 1 Thessalonians, Paul is dealing with the fears of believers whose loved ones have died and who are afraid of what will happen when Christ returns. After telling them that the dead shall rise, Paul offers them this:
Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
Sky yes, but no tribulation, no Antichrist.
Other passages from the Bible are seen as supporting this idea, for example, Matthew 24:40–1 and Luke 17:34–35, which speak of one person being taken and another left behind. However, these passages discuss the second coming of Christ (the Parousia), not an escape from the world. The “blink of an eye” idea is taken from is 1 Corinthians 15:51–52. But none of this is from Revelation. And none of it lays out a clear Rapture, tribulation, Antichrist plan.
The book of Revelation does not specifically mention this pre-tribulation Rapture prior to the Antichrist’s reign, either. Revelation 3:10 is the text most cited as describing it:
Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
Revelation 3:10
However, this occurs in a letter to a specific church, Philadelphia, rather than as part of the visionary material. References to this having any connection to “the Rapture” in scholarly commentaries are few and far between. And Revelation 3:10  doesn’t mention being taken up into the sky or the Antichrist.
Actually, the book of Revelation doesn’t use the term Antichrist at all. That term comes from 1 and 2 John. The beasts of Revelation are taken by many to be the Antichrist, as thought to be predicted in Daniel 7. But none of them is called Antichrist.
Other ascents to heaven by certain figures are mentioned in Revelation (John the Seer, the two witnesses, the child of the woman clothed like the sun), but these do not describe huge groups disappearing prior to the plagues, sufferings and terror which inflict the earth.
By this stage it becomes clear that the Rapture is far from an obvious and widespread concept in the Biblical text. Indeed, creating the idea of the Rapture, let alone its timeline, involves harmonizing many disparate parts of the Bible and presents the Bible as a prophetic tool. It involves reading the book of Revelation in relation to other texts, rather than reading what is contained in Revelation.
john-nelson-darby

John Nelson Darby first popularized the idea of a “pre-tribulation” Rapture.

Left Behind’s Rapture, then, is more a product of how texts are read than the texts themselves. Reading the Bible as having a blueprint for the future held within it was attributed to Joachim of Fiore (1132–1202), who created a complex timeline of different ages leading to the second coming of Christ. But even he didn’t have a Rapture. Darby, Scofield, LaHaye and Jenkins were inheritors of this tradition and put it into practice to create their own Rapturous chain of events, which is now often presented as the only possible version.
However, the idea that Jesus’ sayings, Paul’s teachings, John’s Letters and John of Patmos’s Revelation, not to mention the texts of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, represent the same branch of eschatology is something few scholars would maintain. These texts were written in different locations and time periods, to different people, with different goals. A “one end-plan fits all” attitude proves more than problematic, as richly diverse ancient texts are streamlined to an ordered modern timeframe of Rapture, tribulation and Antichrist.
What’s more, the “backbone” for all of this—the book of Revelation—frustrates its readers. It offers long pauses, contradictory timeframes and undisclosed declarations, and every time the end is announced, it never actually arrives. It is more apt to describe it as spiralling around an endpoint rather than marching toward one. It is, in essence, a text that defies any framework placed onto it.
Vic Armstrong’s Left Behind movie has been lambasted by critics as over-simplistic, formulaic and lacking all intrigue, with the Rapture in the middle as the only interesting part. The reality of the Rapture in the Biblical text is somewhat different. It’s the common concept of the pre-tribulation Rapture that is an oversimplification, a blurring of the complex texts and ancient worldviews. It is a modern creation assumed to be part of the final book of the Bible. But the book of Revelation doesn’t offer its readers the Rapture. It doesn’t even offer a clear ending. Rather, it offers wonder, awe and quite often bewildering strangeness. And that is why, unlike the new movie Left Behind, it’s so very, very intriguing.1

    Matthew 24:40-41 is not seen by most pretribulationists as a rapture text. It is rather seen as a Second Coming text. You can see the evidence for this here:http://www.bibleexposition.net/2014/10/do-pretribulationists-see-matthew-2437.html
    And those who truly understand pretribulationism understand that the distinction between the rapture and Second Coming is an important one.

    Early church fathers in the first century advocated a pre-tribulation rapture. The notion that it is a new phenomenon has been promoted by Dominionists for years. This position flies in the face of the doctrine of “Imminent Return of Christ”.

    “…the reason the Pre-Tribulation concept of the timing of the Rapture was delayed in its refinement until the 19th Century was because the Roman Catholic Church adopted St. Augustine’s amillennial viewpoint of prophecy hook-line-and-sinker around 430 AD. In his book, The City of God, Augustine spiritualized Bible prophecy and then argued that the Millennium began at the Cross and would continue until the Second Coming.
    This spiritualizing approach to the interpretation of Bible prophecy proceeded to dominate theology for the next thousand years. Protestants adopted it after the Reformation and expressed it in the Postmillennial view that emerged in the mid-17th Century. Both Amillennialism and Postmillennialism are based on the assumption that Bible prophecy does not mean what it says……..
    The discovery of the distinction which the Bible makes between the Rapture and the Second Coming had to await the revival of the application of literal interpretation to Bible prophecy. I say “revival” because the writings of the Church Fathers during the first 300 years of church history (100 AD to 400 AD) reveal that they interpreted prophecy for its plain sense meaning. Accordingly, they were nearly all Premillennialists. In fact, Justin Martyr (110-165 AD) went so far as to suggest that anyone with a different viewpoint was heretical.1
    The revival of literal interpretation began in earnest among the Puritans in the 17th Century, and it quickly led to an understanding that the Rapture would be an event separate from and preceding the Second Coming. Puritan leader, Increase Mather (1639-1723), argued “that the saints would be caught up into the air” and thus escape the world’s final conflagration.2
    ………………
    One of the early Church Fathers, The Shepherd of Hermas, writing in the early 2nd Century, makes an interesting observation about “the great tribulation that is coming.” He says, “If then ye prepare yourselves, and repent with all your heart and turn to the Lord, it will be possible for you to escape it, if your heart be pure and spotless, and ye spend the rest of the days of your life in serving the Lord blamelessly.”15
    In medieval times evidence of pretribulational thinking can be found in the recently discovered sermon attributed to Ephraem the Syrian.16 This sermon, which was written sometime between the 4th and 6th Centuries, encourages believers to prepare themselves for meeting the Lord because “all the saints and elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins.” Scholars believe this text was derived from the writings of the original Ephraem who lived from 306 to 373 AD. He was one of the leading theologians of the early Byzantine Church.17
    It is very likely that there were always some forms of premillennialism and pretribulational thought throughout the Middle Ages but, if so, these viewpoints had to be expressed underground because they violated Catholic dogma. Sects like the Albigenses, Lombards, and the Waldenses were attracted to a literal interpretation of the Bible, but little is know about their detailed beliefs because the Catholic Church declared their writings to be heretical and destroyed them.

    Very well put together article. My concern about these types of movies is the overall misinformation about a departure. We are expected to watch for the signs of the return, Thessolonians spells out, “we will not be caught by surprise” in Matthew we are told, “when you begin to see these things” and in context all of the scriptures utilized for the fairy tale of a pre-tribulation rapture actually tells a different story. This theory is causing Christian apathy towards world events because the claim is we will not be here during this time. However, the reality is, maybe it has already began! Additionally, the movie is B rated at best and it was disappointing.

    The Revelation is a writing which is apocalyptic in nature and was intended for the church in the first century which was beginning to experience government sanctioned persecution which would be escalating in nature and severity. It encourages them to take heart, and to maintain and strengthen their faith. The main theme from Revelation which is readily applicable to us is that though evil is ever active, and at times it looks like it will triumph, Christ has already assured victory; God wins!
    Exactly how everything will happen is impossible to say. But, the bible seems to say with certainty that Christ will return and that we don’t know exactly when, or exactly how, but that we need to prepare ourselves for that day.

    @Wanyama: you can wait long time for the “second comming of Christ”. Let´s wait for the first comming, as “Jesus” was never the Messiah. He never brought world peace, neither re-built the temple. Additionally he was not directly member of David clan. So wait and be patient.

    Zack Hunt and Greg Boyd have been looking at this topic recently. Their conclusion…they and many others have found the rapture is a fantasy which is not biblical with verses taken out of context and being espoused by those who refuse to actually read the history of when the book was written. At best…I would describe their agenda as that of other heretical leaders throughout history…they should know the truth…but having extremely narcissistic natures…they are more than willing to take as many down their evil path as possible and rejoice doing so.

    WOW, almost has her doctorate, but still doesn’t know her Bible. Pre-trib rapture is all over in Bible since Enoch. And church fathers also believed in rapture. It’s when two legs of Roman Empire: Byzantine and Catholics took over, then they started fooling people not to read Bible. But when people started reading their Bibles, they did find out, that rapture is there. There are bunch of movies about Jesus and Moses also, but it doesn’t mean, that they were not real beings or it’s not true. Enoch is type of Church and Noah type of Jews and other who would believe in tribulation. And people in glorified bodies come down to Earth with Christ after tribulation. Only born again people will be left to populate the Earth again, because left alive goats will be doomed before the millennium.

  16. Ian says

    Well the Bible is clear that the righteous are never going to face the wrath of God, which is what Revelation is all about. God has always delivered the righteous out of the way of his judgement. We see it with Noah and Lot, and also in the Garden, with the promise of the coming Messiah.

  17. Christopher says

    Many are vehemently against the idea of the Rapture. Many say that the word rapture doesn’t appear in the bible but that is untrue. the word Rapture is from the Latin Vulgate Bible in 1st Thess 4:17 the phrase ‘taken up’ is raptura. Also, one must believe in the Book of Revelations isn’t about the Christian Persecution of the Early Church, it is about God pouring His wrath on an unbelieving world, the great Tribulation. God has stated that he would not persecute His Bride, the Church, so the Church can’t not go through the Great Tribulation. The church will be in heaven at the time of the Great Tribulation except for the 144,000 from the 12 tribes of Israel that believe in Jesus the Christ (Yusuha Messiah) and those that accept Christ. There will be such horror that if Christ doesn’t come back no one would survive, but when he comes back it will be as a Judge and He will not be smiling. For those Christians who think Christians get a pass on persecution there will be a great Christian persecution before the last days, and that will be Satan pouring his wrath on God’s own. In fact it has already started. Sheep or Goats?

    Interpreting Revelation:
    The book of Revelation is of great importance in that it provides spiritual strength and insight for God’s people. It highlights God’s interest in the congregations of his people and the close and loving care that Jesus Christ exercises toward them as the Fine Shepherd. Jesus knows exactly what conditions prevail and what must be done. This is especially manifest in the first three chapters of the book.
    Some persons view Revelation as being so highly symbolic that it cannot be understood, or they view it as being impractical. But Jehovah God wants his people to understand, and he caused the Bible to be written to be understood and to provide guidance for them. The key to understanding Revelation is the same as the key to understanding other parts of the Bible. The apostle Paul points to that key. After explaining that God reveals the hidden wisdom through his spirit, Paul says: “These things we also speak, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the spirit, as we combine spiritual matters with spiritual words.” (1Co 2:8-13) If we search the Scriptures (and in some cases the customs and practices of those days), we find in them many of the things used as symbolisms in Revelation. By comparing these Scripture texts, we can often understand what the Revelation symbol means. It should be noted, however, that a term or expression may refer to or symbolize different things, according to the context in which it appears.

    Hilda, you made the following comment:
    “In fact, Justin Martyr (110-165 AD) went so far as to suggest that anyone with a different viewpoint was heretical.”
    I agree that the Early Church was primarily Premillennialist, but I do not think Justin is referring to non-premillennialists as heretics. In response to what amounted to premillennial views, he goes on to say, “I and many others are of this opinion, and [believe] that such will take place, as you assuredly are aware; but, on the other hand, I signified to you that many who belong to the pure and pious faith, and are true Christians, think otherwise.” (Dialogue with Trypho Chapter LXXX)
    He does go on to say that some people who call themselves Christian are heretics, specifically those who blaspheme God and deny resurrection from the dead. One could easily come to the conclusion that he is even calling those who deny a thousand year reign heretics. However, because of what Justin says in that quote I inserted above, I think that is unlikely that he would be calling people of the “pure and pious faith, and true Christians” heretics. For those interested, here is the source document, scroll to chapter LXXX: http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/justinmartyr-dialoguetrypho.html

    Rapture:
    Definition: The belief that faithful Christians will be bodily caught up from the earth, suddenly taken out of the world, to be united with the Lord “in the air.” The word “rapture” is understood by some persons, but not by all, to be the meaning of 1 Thessalonians 4:17. The word “rapture” does not occur in the inspired Scriptures.

    I am not sure who has Revelation and the Bible more wrong. Yes Revelation is a difficult book (but not impossible) to discern but to claim “It doesn’t even offer a clear ending. ” and ” Reading the Bible as having a blueprint for the future held within it was attributed to Joachim of Fiore” as if Fiore invented the idea of the bible having a blueprint is profoundly in error.

    Yes the rapture distinct from the second coming is off theologically but I detect a wiff of preterism in the piece – a theology which just entirely butchers Old testament prophecy
    I think a final battle where the Lord defeats his enemies and the setting up of a New Jerusalem is a pretty clear ending and one that fits in with well with OT prophecies unlike the fanciful reinterpreting of it by Preterists.

    @LeRoy says:Nonsense . That is absolutely right. Who was “John”? When did he live? Who wrote the Revelation? If you have the answer, you´ll see that all talking are pure nonsense and sick paranoic phantasies. “John” has never seen any Jesus. “His” works are strict anachronistic and even written by 3 or 4 persons, as the original texts differs in style and specially the revelation is totally different from “his” other works. Poor people believing in this horror myth.

  25. bill says

    Although Revelation is a record of what John saw and heard revealed to Him by Jesus, it is meant to give us an understanding of what will happen one day. It is believed that verse one is when the rapture happens because:
    •It says “After this …”. After what? After the seven church ages are completed (Rev. 2-3). The last church age, as compared to the church of Laodicea, pictures perfectly how the majority of churches have become today. It is after God sees the last person has gotten saved, that He ends the church ages and starts a new era; an era of His judgments!
    •“… a door was opened in heaven …” A door is a means to pass from one place to another. This “door” moves the dead and living in Christ from this earth to the next “room”; the “room” where God is! In Revelation 3:20 the door was where Jesus was last standing. He gave all an opportunity to trust Him as Saviour one more time during the indifferent, Laodicean church-age. No more answered His pleas, so He opened the door of Heaven and called His own home.
    •The trumpet of God was sounded just like it was foretold it would be at the time of the rapture (I Thes. 4:16).
    •A voice was heard calling John to heaven as it was prophesied (I Thes. 4:16) the church would be summoned up: “… Come up hither….”
    •It was prophesied that the Lord would come again when the earth became like the days of Noah (Mat. 24:37-38. Luke 17:26). Those days are certainly here. After the Lord judged the world of Noah’s time He sent a reminder of His judgment: the rainbow. In Rev. 3:3, there was a rainbow around God’s throne. The judgment of Noah’s day preserved only God’s own who were inside the ark. The upcoming rapture will also have His own safely preserved( in Heaven), while God’s judgment of the tribulation takes place on earth.
    •The church is no longer mentioned in what occurs on the earth from this time on, because the church is no longer here! The tribulation is mostly about Israel, not the church!

    Since we are currently in the last church age, the rapture mentioned in Revelation 4:1 is the next event in God’s plan. It could be today or tomorrow. The big question is are you absolutely positively sure you will be included in the rapture? If not, now may be your last opportunity to trust Christ as Saviour and be saved!

    Also, the second coming and the rapture are at completely different times. Most of the writings you referred to were mentioning what the Jews are looking for. They are looking for the 2nd coming, not the rapture. And, there are many early writers that looked forward to the rapture, it did not start in the late 1800′s like you claim.

Tribulation versus Wrath By Maria Merola

Since that movie “Left Behind,” has come out, so many believers in Messiah are falling for the Illuminati propaganda.

Do not confuse TRIBULATION with WRATH, because they are totally different.
The word “tribulation,” in Hebrew and in Greek has to do with a woman going into labor and having great pain in order to bring forth the “one new man” (Ephesians 2:15, Revelation 12:5).
An interesting layer to the woman giving birth first to Messiah and then to the remnant So Miriam represents Israel and the Messiah one new man

 Maria Merola Wold The Jesuit Rapture Theory

The Jesuits in the Vatican are an order of priests who are trained assassins who originated in the 1500’s for the express purpose of stomping out the “Protestant Reformation.” Their mission was to bring back all of those defe
ctors who left the Roman Catholic Church. And so a strategy was formed whereby there were two seemingly opposing views invented by the Vatican concerning the end times.

These Two Seemingly Opposing Views are as follows:

1.) The Christian Church will be Raptured before the revealing of the Antichrist (which of course of false). And so the need to know who the Antichrist is, is unnecessary since “the elect won’t be here anyway”—another lie!

2.) There will be no Rapture at all (not even after the tribulation); and of course this is false as well!

This strategy that the Jesuits are famous for using on people is called “The Hegelian Dialectic.” What it means is that they form “two seemingly opposing views” in order to cause division in the body of Messiah. And this leads to the sheep being scattered and many people’s faith ends up ship-wrecked in the process!

See my other article entitled: “The Hegelian Dialectic.”

Pre-Trib or No-Trib? Neither One is Correct! But the Jesuits Are Forcing You to Pick One of these theories!

During the time of the Protestant Reformation which began in the late 1500’s, it became quite obvious through Bible prophecy that the seat of the Papacy was indeed the seat of the Antichrist. The “man of sin” had been “revealed,” recognized and proclaimed as the Papacy by the early Reformers. Not only the Reformers, but thousands of their followers and their kings agreed with these prophetic interpretations. Their united stand against the Papacy gave the Reformers and nations the power to break away from allegiance to the Papal system.

The Papal reaction was a “Counter Reformation.” In an attempt to divert the undermining influence of the Protestant Reformation, a two-pronged counter attack was made:

1.) Praeterism: The fulfillment of Revelation is in the past only with the fall of Pagan Rome before the Popes ever ruled Rome. This viewpoint was founded by Alcazar, a Spanish Jesuit in 1614.

2.) Futurism: The fulfillment of Revelation is only in the future with only one individual “man of sin” not from the Papacy. Around 1590, Francisco Ribera a Jesuit Catholic Priest published a 500-page book on Revelation, and he taught the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” theory with the Tribulation period and the Antichrist in the distant future only. Robert Bellarmine, one of the most renowned Jesuit cardinals, taught that the Antichrist would be an individual Jew, (not from the Papacy).

Satan is an extremist who wants to create confusion with the “Rapture” theory being “before” the Tribulation so that when that final Pope arrives on the scene as the false Messiah, believers will not want to believe he could be the Antichrist, because their logic will tell them: “he can’t be the Antichrist, because the Rapture hasn’t happened yet.”

The truth is that both the Futurist and the Praeterist viewpoints contain some level of truth with regard to Bible prophecy, because history does repeat itself as I have illustrated. Therefore, to single out only one viewpoint over another is intended to create division within the church. We can see that the prophecies of Revelation and Daniel have both past, present and future fulfillment as I have illustrated, but the final fulfillment will be obscured by both extremes giving way to ecumenism between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism. If the Papacy is not the Antichrist, then there was no point to the Reformation separation from Papacy.

The “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” theory was invented by the Roman Catholic Jesuits in order to distract believers from recognizing the seat of the Papacy as the seat of the Antichrist. If believers buy into the lie of Satan that the Antichrist will not be revealed until “after the Rapture”, then there is no need for them to understand Bible prophecy, as I have heard so many say “what difference does it make who the Antichrist is if we won’t be here when he is revealed”? That kind of logic will be just the thing which brings about the “falling away” and “strong delusion that they should believe a lie.”

Movies and books such as the “Left Behind” series have falsely led believers into believing in a “Pre-tribulation” Rapture which will make it difficult for believers to recognize the Antichrist when he comes on the scene, since they will rationalize that the rapture must take place first before “that man of sin is revealed.” Another deception being promulgated in the “Left Behind” series is that one can take the “mark of the beast” and still be saved!

The Bride Will be Caught Up After the Tribulation!

Lately I have encountered a false teaching going around in Hebraic Roots circles that says that there is not going to be a “Rapture” or a catching away of the bride of Messiah. If the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is going to take place as it is written Revelation 19, then of course Satan wants to get the bride confused over the timing of this event. Satan is an extremist and he loves to take a biblical truth that people are learning and then he takes that “new biblical truth” and attaches another “extreme lie” to that biblical truth so that people are never balanced. He loves to swing the pendulum “too far to the left or too far to the right” in order to create confusion. But Scripture commands us over and over again “look not to the left neither to the right” (Deuteronomy 5:32, 28:14, Proverbs 4:27, Joshua 1:7; 23:6). We are commanded to stay “centered” and to keep our eyes on YaHuWShuWA who is the author and finisher of our faith! (Hebrews 12:2).
In the wake of many people coming out of the “pre-tribulation rapture” lie, there seems to be another extreme view that is being propagated by the masses. That new lie is “there is not going to be a rapture or catching away of the bride at all!”
This false teaching circulating around within the Hebrew Root’s community is throwing out the proverbial “baby with the bathwater.” People are saying that there will not be a “Rapture” or they are saying that “the righteous will be left here on earth and the wicked will be taken,” but this is not true. Please see my article entitled:
“Remember Lot’s Wife: Taken or Left?”
Now I want to make something clear. There will not be a “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” of the Bride of Messiah. But there will be a Post-Tribulation Harpazo of the bride!
See my other teaching entitled:
“Pre-Tribulation or Post-Tribulation Rapture Theory?”
Some people are saying that the idea of a “Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory” only dates back to the 1800’s through a young girl by the name Margaret McDonald. This is not true either. Leave it to the Vatican to shift the attention away from them when it comes to heresies! They are famous for making other people “the fall guy” for their tricks. The Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory actually got it’s start during the Protestant Reformation in the 1500’s under the direction of two Jesuit Catholic Priests named Alchazar & Ribera.
The History of the Jesuits
People now-a-days tend to throw around the term “Illuminati” very loosely without really knowing who or what they are. They tend to think of the Illuminati as some sort of “elusive” structure of secret societies. And indeed they have infiltrated these secret societies. But in order to keep their organization secret, they have managed to spread the deception around so that no one organization seems to be held responsible. Instead, the blame goes to the larger sub-structures which most people see as being “too large” to control.
Below you will find a chart that shows the substructure of the Illuminati which is just a Latin nick-name for the Order of Jesuit Priests in the Vatican. The word “Illuminati” in Latin simply means “the enlightened ones.”

http://www.historicist.com/daniel/seventy-weeks
The Jesuits are a religious order of the Roman Catholic Church. Their proper title is the “Society of Jesus.” Originally they were called Compania de Jesus, which is Spanish for “military) company of Jesus.” They were founded (1534-39) by Ignatius of Loyola. He drafted the rules that still govern the society. The training of a Jesuit is long and rigorous. Though not often taught, they were basically founded to combat the Reformation. Jesuit leaders played a major role in Rome’s Counter-Reformation. In the 16th and 17th century, this corps labored with measured success in reconverting Protestant areas in South and West Germany, Hungary, France and Poland. They also made several aggressive attempts to reconvert England.


The Christian Church is basically unaware that the Futurist school came from this society’s scholars. Jesuit priests have been known throughout history as the most wicked political arm of the Roman Catholic church. Edmond Paris, in his scholarly work, The Secret History of the Jesuits, reveals and documents much of this information.
A Jesuit priest named Francisco Ribera (1537-1591) started to work independently. He looked deeply into the realm of Bible prophecy. The result of his work was a twisting and maligning of prophetic truth. Ribera’s futuristic interpretation of Daniel chapter nine was furthered by the work of another Jesuit, Cardinal Robert e (1542-1621). These two were swiftly followed by a third, the Jesuit Luis de Alcazar (1554-1613). These men were the best soldiers Rome had.
Ribera’s primary apparatus was the seventy weeks. He taught that Daniel’s 70th  week was still in the future. He said that Elohiym had first given us 69 weeks and that at the baptism of YaHuW’shuwa (Jesus) in 27 A.D. the 69 weeks concluded. He said that YaHuWaH extended the 70th week into the future to take place at the end of the age. It was as though Elohiym put a giant rubber band on this Messianic time measure. Does this supposition sound familiar? This is exactly the scenario used by Hal Lindsey and a multitude of other current prophecy teachers.
*Commentary by Maria Merola: I believe in what many call “the gap theory” but contrary to what the futurist view teaches, I believe that the “gap” in Daniel’s 70th Week occurs not at the 69th Week but rather “in the midst of the week” or in the middle of “Daniel’s 70th Week” at the 486.5 year mark of the 490 year prophecy leaving only 3.5 years left to go—not seven years! See my other article entitled: “Jacob’s Time of Trouble & Daniel’s 70th Week”
Ribera was not alone in his efforts to war on the Protestant Reformation. Cardinal Robert Bellarmine eagerly accepted the challenge and entered into the arena. The futurist teachings of Ribera were further popularized by an Italian cardinal and the most renowned of all Jesuit controversialists. His writings claimed that Paul, Daniel and John had nothing whatsoever to say about the Papal power. The futurists’ school won general acceptance among Catholics. They were taught that Antichrist was a single individual who would not rule until the very end of time. But this effort to sidetrack the teachings that the Papacy is the Antichrist failed to hold back the advancing tide of Protestant truth—at least for a while. Bellarmine followed very closely the teachings of Ribera. However, Ribera only partially attacked the year-for-a-day principle from Ezekiel 4:6, whereas Bellarmine declared absolute war against it. The systematic theology of interpreting Divine time measures a day for a year, when the text dictates, has been almost entirely lost to the Protestant church. However, the hypocrisy of the matter is manifest continually in the futurist school. They are forced to acknowledge this principle of interpretation with the seventy weeks, but with other Divine time measures (i.e., the Book of Revelation) they reject this great principle and try to teach that they are to be interpreted as literal days! By what authority do they do this? Ribera’s, not YaHuWaH’s!
The prophecy of the Seventy Weeks is the foundation stone for Futurism and Dispensationalism. These interpretations must have their seven-year period at the end of time. Remember, this is the last week of the 490-year prophetic clock. All Futurist scenarios revolve around Ribera’s “seven-year tribulation period.”
It is systematic teaching that will usher in the return to the true historical interpretation and fulfillment of the vision. The implications of this will be self-evident and discussed in relation to the Kingdom and the restoration of truth within its walls. The proper date and decree that signaled the start of the time measure must be established. The seventy weeks began in 457 B.C., and conclude in entirety, in 30 A.D.
Alcazar wrote on the Ribera school of thought. His book was entitled, Vestigatio Arcani Sensus In Apocalypsi, published Antwerp, 1614. He launched the Praeterist (often spelled Preterist) school of apocalyptic interpretation. The Preterists consider the majority of the prophecies in the Book of Revelation to have been fulfilled in the downfall of the Jewish nation in 70 A.D. Most advocates of this system date John’s writing of the Revelation prior to 68 A.D. Nero, they claim, was the Antichrist.
*Commentary by Maria Merola: I agree that Nero Caesar was a historical Antichrist in but he was not the final “man of sin.” Scripture tells us that there have been and will be “many Antichrists” (1st John 2:18).
Mary Stewart Relphe explains in her book,“When Your Money Fails” that she had been able to find four historical Anti-Messiah, whose names add up to 666 when translated into Hebrew, Latin or Greek.
Historical Anti-Messiahs Whose Names Add up to 666
1.) Nimrod- (a descendant of Noah) His birthday was celebrated December 25th in ancient Babylon and in Rome as Saturnalia; He had babies sacrificed to Molech.
2.) King Nebuchadnezzar- erected a golden statue of himself and demanded worship; Those who refused to bow to the image were placed in a furnace.
3.) Antiochus the IV- a Greek-Syrian who defiled the 2nd Jewish Temple in 164-167 B.C. with pagan idols, also purported he was Zeus reincarnated on December 25th.
4.) Caesar Nero- had followers of Messiah tortured and eaten by lions for entertainment. He also claimed to be a reincarnation of “Sol Invictus” (the invincible sun) or Saturn the pagan sun-deity.
The Preterists find themselves in the same contradictions as the Futurists. The systematic theology of the year-day principle (Ezekiel 4:6)Bible prophecy thwarts their schemes. By what authority do Preterists say that Revelation’s divine time measures are interpreted a day for a day? Like the entirety of the futurist camp, they turn around and say that the seventy weeks are to be interpreted as years. An immense contradiction!
*Maria Merola’s Commentary: While I agree with the author of this article that both Futurism & Preterism are both wrong, I believe that prophecy has more than one “layer” of fulfillment. There is usually a literal fulfillment which would be the literal “day for a day” interpretation of the tribulation period. And there is also the “day for a year” interpretation as well. See my other article entitled: “Jacob’s Time of Trouble & Daniel’s 70th Week”
Don’t Trip Over the Word Rapture!
Many people get all tripped up over the word “rapture” just because it is not found in our English Bibles. But that word “rapturo” is a Latin word that means the very same thing as “caught up” (harpazo) in Greek.
1st Thessalonians 4:14-17:
14 For if we believe that YaHuW’shuwa died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in YaHuW’shuwa will Elohiym bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of YHWH, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of YHWH shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For YHWH himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Elohiym: and the dead in Messiah shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet YHWH in the air: and so shall we ever be with YHWH.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
The word for “caught up” in 1st Thessalonians 4:17 is:
#726. harpazo har-pad’-zo from a derivative of 138; to seize (in various applications):–catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).
The word “rapturo” in Latin means the following: to seize, catch away, take by force, etc.
Caught up in English = Harpazo in Greek = Rapturo in Latin!
They all mean the same thing!
Taken or Left? Married or Divorced?
Some people have tried to build a case in Matthew 24:40-41 stating that the ones who are “taken” are the wicked ones, and the ones who are “left” are the righteous ones. But a careful study of the words for “taken & left” in Hebrew and in Greek all reveal Marriage Covenant language! 
There are many examples in scripture that use the words “taken or left” and in every single case, the ones who are “taken” are taken into the marriage! And the ones who are “left” are left out of the wedding and divorced! 
In 2nd Kings 2:9, EliYaHuW (Elijah) is about to be “taken” away in a Chariot of Fire. The Hebrew word for “taken” is the Hebrew Strong’s #3947 “laqach”:to marry, take a wife, snatch, take possession of, take in marriage, receive, accept, seize, acquire, buy, select, choose.
In 2nd Kings 9:8 Ahab and the rest of the wicked were “left” behind.  The Strong’s Hebrew Concordance for “left” is #5800 “azab” which means “to abandon, forsake, neglect, apostatize, to depart from, leave behind, divorce.”
In Matthew 24:40-41:
The Greek word for “left” in Matthew 24:40-41 is Strong’s #G863 aphiēmi   which means “to forsake; a husband divorcing his wife.” 
The Greek word for “taken” is Strong’s #G3880 paralambanō “to take unto oneself in an intimate way, to join unto oneself.”
In Deuteronomy 4:20 it says: “…. But YHWH has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.”
The Hebrew word here for “taken” is “Laqach” which means “to take in marriage, take a wife, snatch, take away, lay hold of, seize, receive, acquire, buy, bring, marry.” 
But the Egyptians were “left” in the Red Sea to die.
Once again, the word for “left” in the Strong’s Hebrew Concordance  is #5800 “azab”  which means “to abandon, forsake, neglect, apostatize, to depart from, leave behind, divorce.”
In 2nd Kings 2-9 & Revelation 19 we see a parallel:
Captain YaHuW (Jehu), is a picture of Messiah and he came on a horse to dethrone Yeze’Ba’al (Jezebel) who represents Mystery Babylon the Great Mother of Harlots. EliYaHuW (Elijah) was “taken up” in a Chariot of Fire, but then Captain YaHuW (Jehu) was anointed as King as he was ushered in with Trumpets as he came to “avenge” the blood of the servants of YaHuWaH. But the wicked were “left behind” and perished (2nd Kings 9:8).
Once again, the word for taken means “to take in marriage” and the word for “left” in the above verses mean “to divorce or forsake.”
The Fall Feasts of YaHuWaH detail the end time events as follows:         
1.) The Abomination of Desolation will be seen in the 3rd Temple (Matthew 24:15) and then the 42 months of the Anti-Messiah’s false ministry will begin, while concurrently the Two Witnesses prophecy against him globally for 3.5 years.
2.) The Thirty Days of Elul will follow a 3.5 year ministry of the Two Witnesses. There will be 30 more days of the month of Elul (1,290 days) see Daniel 12:11. At the end of the 1,290 days will begin the 7th month of Tishri (Feast of Trumpets), and this is “the last trump” (1st Corinthians 15:51-53). And this is when the 7th angel sounds as soon as the two witnesses are taken up. This all happens concurrently with the other books of Revelation leading up to Revelation 20, as the book of Revelation cannot be read sequentially.
3.) The Seven Day Wedding of Jacob & Leah will be the pattern for Messiah and his bride. There will be a 7 day literal marriage (Wedding of Jacob, Leah & Rachel–one week) and this is when we are changed into incorruption. Those 5 foolish virgins who are not ready are caught off guard by the “thief in the night” and they shall not escape (1st Thessalonians 5:2-3).
*Note: What I see, is that there is the resurrection of Leah (10 Northern Tribes of Israel assimilated with Gentiles) and there is a 7 day wedding. Then on Yom Kippur, YaHuW’shuwa comes back and gets Rachel also. Remember in the prophetic pattern, Laban (symbolic of the Father), said to Jacob, “finish the week with Leah, and I will give you Rachel also.” Jacob was married to Rachel (2 southern tribes, Benjamin & Judah, Jews) at the end of the “week” after 7 days with Leah. And so on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is when the house of Judah (Jews) discover if their names are written in the book of life, they also call this “face to face.” This will be the same day that Rachel (Jews) see him face to face and they will look upon him whom they pierced and they will mourn for him as one mourns for his only son (Zechariah 12:10).
Rachel will also be married to YaHuW’shuwa (the remnant of Jews who did not take the mark of the Beast). And they also will be changed into incorruption at this point. The Two Witnesses are a special group of people who thought that they were Gentiles (Ephraim) and they discover their Hebraic Roots, so they join the Jews (Judah), and this is when the Two sticks (Ephraim & Judah) become one stick in the Lord’s hand (Ezekiel 37:16-17) and this is the same “one new man” the Apostle Paul spoke about in Ephesians 2:12-15.
They also are taken at the 7th trumpet (as the 7th angel sounds) in Revelation 11:15. This group goes with redeemed Leah (Gentiles who become one new man with born again Jews). Then 7 days later, the remnant of Rachel who did not take the mark, are also redeemed on Yom Kippur and changed. Then the two groups (Leah & Rachel) Gentile & Jew go into the marriage together to celebrate the drinking of the wine of the covenant on Feast of Tabernacles.
4.) The Ten Days of Awe are 10 days between the Feast of Trumpets & the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and so there are 3 of those days where the bride is given a 3 day notice that the groom is on the way. She hears the shouts from a 3 days journey in the distance and she knows that some time in those 3 days, he will be there to catch her away.
5.) The Bowls of Wrath will be poured out during the ten days of awe. While the bride is getting married in the Bridal Chamber (chuppah) in the heavenlies, the children of wrath are having bowls of wrath being poured out on them and they still won’t repent (Revelation 14-20). This all happens during the 10 days of awe.
6.) The Day of Atonement & Vengeance will take place after the 10 days of awe (3 day shouts and 7 day marriage). The bride will comes back on white horses with the groom (Revelation 19). This day is known as “face to face” when the bride removes the veil and she sees him face to face. YaHuW’shuwa takes vengeance on her enemies and avenges the blood of the saints on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). This is the day of wrath for the wicked.
7.) There are 5 days between the Day of Atonement & The Feast of Tabernacles, and this is where the saints are judged for their works. The righteous will receive rewards as to whether his works were of “wood, hay or stubble” (1st Corinthians 3:12).
8.) The Feast of Tabernacles is the wedding celebration where the groom drinks the cup of the covenant with his bride and consummates the marriage on the Feast of Tabernacles.
Revelation 20:4-6 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of YaHuW’shuwa, and for the word of Elohiym, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hand; and they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of Elohiym and of Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The “second resurrection” will take place after the 1,000 year millennial reign of Messiah as the wicked are raised so that they can be judged at the “white throne Judgment seat of Messiah”:
Verse 5: “…But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.”
Satan will then be released from the bottomless pit after the one thousand years are expired, and he will be given permission to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth. Satan will then attempt one last time to destroy the saints on earth, but YaHuWaH will send fire from heaven to devour Satan, the Anti-Messiah and the false prophet:
Revelation 20:7-10 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from Elohiym out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The Ancient Hebrew Wedding Custom: How does it picture Messiah YaHuW’shuwa & His Bride?
http://www.laydownlife.net/yedidah/AncientJewishWeddingCeremony.htm
YaHuWchanon (John) 14:2-3: In My Father’s house are many rooms.   I go to prepare a place for you.  And, if I go to prepare and place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 
MattithYaHuW (Matthew) 24:36,44: But of the day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only therefore, be also ready: for in such an hour as you think not, the Son of man comes.
MattithYaHuW (Matthew) 25:10-13: “…the Bridegroom came: and they that were ready went in with Him to the marriage and the door was shut”.
Revelation 7:7-8: “Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb is come and his wife has made herself ready.  And to her was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints”.  
YaHuWchanon (John) 3:29, John the baptizer, referring to himself as the “friend of the Bridegroom” and to YaHuW’shuwa, the Bridegroom:  “He that has the Bride is the Bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatest because of the Bridegroom’s voice.  This, my joy, therefore is fulfilled.”
MattithYaHuW (Matthew) 22:8-14:  This is a story of the gathering of the guests.  They must be invited, and must have on a “wedding garment”.  The wedding garment is linen—the “righteousness of the set-apart, “saved”. 
The Word of Elohiym is basically the story of a wedding, from start to finish.  It is a love story of a loving Father, seeking the perfect Bride for His Son, YaHuW’shuwa–a Bride who is totally devoted, pure of heart, in love only to Him, submitted and perfect in His sight.  Such a picture of this is found in Genesis 24:1-67–Abraham sending out his servant to find the perfect Bride for Isaac.
In the basic structure of the Ancient Jewish Wedding Ceremony, you will see the Father, and the Bridegroom YaHuW’shuwa, the “servant”, the Ruach of YaHuWaH, the Bride, the attendant of the Bride (pictured by Moses), and the attendant of the Groom (pictured by Elijah), and the guests.
In most weddings, there are 3 groups of people: 1) the guests, forming the largest group, 2) the attendants of the Bride and the Groom, usually a small group, and 3) the Bride and her Bridegroom.  All are content and happy within their situation.  But, only the Bride gets to go home with the Bridegroom and live in His House forever.  She has an intimacy with Him that no one else has!  And, so there is a new earth, which will be created for the “saved” guests.  There are the attendants–the “King’s of the earth”–who are “saved” and who represent the guests before the Father and the Bridegroom.   And, there is the Bride, who stays with her Husband in the Father’s House.  (Revelation 21:22-22:5, 14)
This is also mentioned in Revelation 3:7-13: –the letter to the church at Philadelphia, which represents the Bridal remnant in the last days.  She does not go onto the new earth, but stays in the presence of the Father and the Son.  She is marked, because 1) she is submissive and yielded to her Bridegroom, guarding and obeying the terms of His marriage Covenant, the Torah, 2) because she loves Him with a perfect love, 3) because she follows her Bridegroom (the Lamb) wherever He goes, and 4) because she has made herself ready–purified herself and separated herself totally unto Him.  She belongs to Him, and her relationship with Him is intimate.  He knows her, and she knows Him, and their fellowship is sweet.
THE CORONATION
1.)  Ha Melech – the King!  Another name for Yom Teruah, which is the day of His coming–at the Feast of Trumpets, is “Coronation Day”.  This Feast usually occurs during the Roman month of September.  On this day the Bridegroom comes for His Bride, and at their wedding day, He is crowed the King, and she is crowned the Queen.  Thus marriage day is the day of Coronation.
2.)  YaHuW’shuwa will come for His Bride on Yom Teruah–Tishre 1 on the Hebrew calendar.  The essential message of this Feast is the reaffirmation of the Kingship of Elohiym.
3.)  Messiah will be crowned on Yom Teruah and given the heathen for His inheritance, as well as receiving His Kingdom. Daniel 7:13-14 and Psalm 2:6
4.) Jewish Scripture used for this day:  Genesis 49:10 and Zechariah 9:9
5.)  Revelation 19:11-16:  He comes with the sound of the trumpet and much fan-fare and ceremony.  He comes as the trumpet sounds loudly, with His angels, in the wrath of the Father, to destroy His enemies and the enemies of His Bride.  He comes as a victorious King to deliver His Bride from the evil one.
6.)  He becomes the King of Kings over all the kingdoms of this world: Revelation 11:15-19; 19:16; Daniel 7:9, 13-14, 27; Revelation 1:7.
7.)  On the wedding day, the Bridegroom and the Bride are called King and Queen – and reference is made to Psalm 45.
THE WEDDING
1.) Either the father arranges the wedding as Samson’s father did, or…
2.) The father sends an agent in his place, as Abraham sent Eleazer, or…
3.) The young man comes by himself to the girl’s father to arrange the marriage between the two of them.
If the young man goes to the house of the girl, he initially must carry these three things:
  1. a)   A large sum of money (or many expensive items) to pay the price for the Bride
  2. b)   A betrothal contract with his promises to the Bride written on it
  3. c)    A skin of wine
*Note:  In John 5:8: “For there are three that bear witness in earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” In prophetic typology, the wine represents the Ruach ha’Kodesh (Holy Spirit), the water represents the Word—the marriage contract or Covenant–the Torah given at Sinai–and the blood represents the price paid for our salvation.
Acts 20:28, Paul speaking to Pastors: “Take heed to yourselves,…to feed the assembly of Elohim, which He has purchased with His own blood.”  Ephesians 1:14 tells us that the Ruach’s presence with us is the “down-payment of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession…”  His Bride was the purchased possession, and He is coming to fully redeem her unto Himself.  I Corinthians 6:20; I Corinthians 7:23: “For you are bought with a price.”
4.)  If the Father approves of the marriage, the girl is called in and they all drink the wine together.  In the drinking of the wine, she commits herself to the young man. Jeremiah 31:31 “I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah”.  Matthew 26:27-28: “And He took the cup (the 3rd cup of the Seder—the cup of Redemption) and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying `Drink you all of it: for this is My blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins’”.  Thus, He renewed His Covenant in his own blood, with His remnant Bride–who would be taken from among the whole believing House of Israel.
5.)  At this point, the two are considered husband and wife.  Their union can only be dissolved by divorce, but their state is still called “betrothal”, as with Mary and Joseph.
6.)  After the wine is drunk, the young man says the words of John 14:2-3.  He will go away and prepare a room for them–adding on a room to his father’s house.  He promises that when the room is finished, he would come back for her, and she would forever be with him.  She belongs to him now, for she has been “bought with a price’, and this purchase has been witnessed and confirmed.
7.)  The young man goes to prepare a chador (chamber) in his father’s house, sometimes called a “chuppah” (honeymoon bed).
8.)  The girl must now spend her time learning how to be a wife and mother, and to learn how to please her husband.  He may be gone for as long as 2 years or more.
9.)  The young man, if asked when the day of his wedding will be, often gets rid of nosey inquirers by saying: “No man knows the day or the hour, only my father knows.” (Matthew 24:36/Mark 13:32)  Thus he puts the responsibility of dealing with nosey friends and family off on his father. It is a personal thing with him, and he only talks about the timing of his coming for His Bride with his father.  He may communicate with his Bride, in secret–perhaps by messenger (represented by the Ruach ha Kodesh–the go-between between the Bride of Messiah and YaHuW’shuwa. But, also, the term “no man knows the day or the hour” is a catch-phrase for the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) for it is always over 2 days around the earth. Three trumpets are blown during that 2-day time period. And, everyone waits for “the last trump,” when according to Ancient Hebrew Wedding Tradition, the gates of heaven open and the righteous ascend to heaven, while the fate of the wicked is sealed.
10.) The groom designates two close friends to assist him and to assist the bride during the ceremony.  They are called “witnesses”.  The two witnesses of Revelation 11 also have this aspect to them. Also, during the ceremony the contract containing the groom’s promises are then turned over to the parents of the bride.
11.) He comes for his bride with great fanfare, trumpets, his servants and friends and family.  It is a joyful day when he comes to receive his bride for the wedding ceremony.  There is music and dancing and rejoicing (John 2).
12.) On their wedding day they are called the King and Queen.  On this day, tradition says that they stand without spot or blemish as they are united.  For two years or more (for us, 2000 years approximately since our Bridegroom went back to His Father’s house) the servant, represented for us by the Ruach ha Kodesh, works to prepare the Bride to perfection for her marriage to the perfect Bridegroom, YaHuW’shuwa.
1st Corinthians 1:4-9: I thank Elohiym always concerning you that you are not lacking in any gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Master YaHuW’shuwa Messiah.
1st Thessalonians 5:23: And the Elohiym of peace Himself set you completely apart, and your entire spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Master YaHuW’shuwa Messiah.
Ephesians 5:25-27: “Messiah also did love the assembly and gave Himself for it…in order to present it to Himself a splendid assembly, not having spot or wrinkle,…but that it might be set-apart and blameless”.
The Bride has purified herself, and made herself set-apart unto Him alone!!
The words of the wedding ceremony are from Psalms 45, and Isaiah 61:10-62:5–“…as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall Elohiym rejoice over you.”
13.) Once the ceremony is over, the two go into the bridal chamber (chuppah) for 7 days.  Portions of the Song of Solomon, read during Passover, gives the details of the intimacy between Messiah and His Bride.
14.) The seven days in the chamber correspond to the seven days between the end of the Feast of Trumpets, and the Day of Atonement, when the High Priest takes the blood before the altar of YaHuWaH, and the sins of the nation of Israel are forgiven.  (On the Day of Atonement Messiah will judge all the nations that came against Jerusalem, and separate out the sheep and goat nations, as well as pronouncing the whole House of Jacob/Israel–all 12 tribes–to be saved, redeemed, and restored.  Joel 3:1-12; Matthew 25:31-46; Romans 11:26-27; Isaiah 59:20-21; 60:11-22; Jeremiah 31 and 33; Ezekiel 36:24-38; 37, and etc. etc.)
15.) At the end of the 7 days, the groom’s “friend” (or Elijah–John the baptizer came in the spirit of Elijah, and represented Messiah, and called himself the “friend of the Bridegroom” in John 3:29), or “witness”, waits at the chamber door.  The guests have arrived and are waiting for the door to be opened, and the wedding banquet to begin.  When the groom is ready, he knocks from the inside of the door of the chamber, indicating that they are ready to make their public appearance before everyone.  The friend opens the door, and the guests cheer.
16.) In Revelation 11, the two witnesses have been in the earth witnessing and preparing for 3 ½ years.  At the voice of the Bridegroom calling them up, Messiah YaHuW’shuwa comes out of heaven with a trumpet blast, accompanied by the set-apart ones who have died, to gather His whole Bride for the wedding, and the 7 days in the chuppah.  The door of heaven opens and He proceeds out.  The “bride has made herself ready.” He picks up His Bride who is alive and waiting for Him on the earth.  Then after His glorious entrance into Jerusalem, they proceed to the wedding feast.  Some believe that the wedding feast will occur at Mt. Sinai, since that is where the terms of the marriage Covenant were given to the Bride.  Look at the wording of Revelation 19:8 and 11.  The parable of the wise virgins, of Matthew 25:1-11, shows us that only the prepared Bride gets to go into the chuppah with Him.  The guests are shut out.
17.) John the baptizer saw himself as the groom’s “friend”–John 3:28-30.  Jewish tradition says that Elijah attends the groom–John was called “Elijah” even by the “Groom”–YaHuW’shuwa.  (Matthew 11:13-14)  Elijah’s message is one of preparation for the coming Messiah.  He stands and waits for the Groom’s knock.  Matthew 17:3 shows the glorified, radiant Messiah standing with Moses and Elijah.
18.) The Bride’s attendant according to Jewish tradition is Moses. His function is to escort the Bride to the Bridegroom, as Moses escorted the children of Israel to Sinai to be wed to Elohiym there.  In Revelation 11:3-7, the two witnesses to come have the characteristics of Elijah and Moses.
19.) After the marriage the Bride goes to live with her Bridegroom as the Queen of the Almighty Elohiym and King of Israel.  She remains with Him, by His side, for eternity.  When Father comes, and brings His city down (Revelation 20-22), the Bride is found still with her Husband (Revelation 22:3-5).

The Branch Crown Kohan Yahushua

Published on Jan 25, 2015

Etymologist Eliyahu shares this message showing the detail of Zach. chapters 3,4,5,6: and the Hebrew depth of the Naba of the Mashiyach’s Name then and Now totally related to the Hebrew No3.h3091 and  G2424,Yahushua-Yahusha, and the simple understanding of the normal Hebrew words for Salvation,save,saved,saving,etc.
commonly used in Yisrael in our everyday conversation still today, and how in Israel they pronounce the name for Joshua in Hebrew. This video is a Hebrew and Greek in depth teach that will help one coming out of the J word religious systems of today have a solid Foundation and Emunah in the stand in our one and only Hebrew Mashiyach Yahushua.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEJuUG1N5F8

Etymologist And researcher Eliyahu show’s the details of His Name from Luke 1:31,2:21; Not jesus iesus G2424 Roman Catholic to H3091 Joshua English, to Yahushua, How most Christians Preachers miss the fact that Moses Mosheh change Hoshea= H1954 name to Yah=H3068 short YaHH=H3050 to equal=H3091= Ye^H Oshea Yahushua .A powerful in-depth teaching showing the Greek and Hebrew comparison and looking carefully at the Phonetic sound of the correct spelling and the correct sound of His Name Shem. from Greek 2424 to h3091 And how religious leaders are still teaching Preconceived ideas with out checking for themselves. We do not put down any one that is using Latin letters to speak our Messiah’s true Name and say that one group is better then the other on their spelling with love we need to be in Unity as we come out of the pagan name iesus.

To learn the real name of our Savior, go look at the Hebrew letters for the spelling of “Joshua”:  yod-hay-uau-shin-ayin    (It isn’t rocket surgery you know). Both had the Hebrew name:  YAHUSHA (spelled twice in the TaNaK as YAHUSHUA).  The Greek alphabet cannot transliterate this word, and “Latinizing” the Greek form only makes it freakier.  The Name of our Savior contains the Name of our Creator, because He is our Creator, and His Name is His identification (His identity is wrapped-up in His Name. 

YAH  = “I am”  . . .   so, Yahusha (or Yahushua) literally means “I am your salvation” as well as “Yah is our salvation”.  He is the everlasting Father,  and El Shaddai (Is. 6:9, Rev. 1).

    The Savior is in fact the Being that revealed His Name as Yahu(vv)ah  —  there’s no argument there in the least (He is the “Alef and the Tau”).  We use the spelling Yahusha or Yahushua because it states the Name and function or role the messenger Gabri’el provided.   We find that Scripture records the practice of giving names, and commonly the chosen name will provide a description or attribute of the individual.    Because Gabriel included the phrase, “for he shall save his people from their sins”, it is obvious that there was a distinctive meaning in the Name carrying the idea of salvation, from the root yasha.  Also, the Name chosen aligns with the meaning of the name of the man that brought Israel into the promised land (called Joshua by tradition).
The Greek texts at Hebrews 4 and Acts 7 both indicate the spelling to be identical for both the Mashiach and the successor of Mosheh:  IESOUS (in the Greek letters).  Therefore, all we have to do is go to the Hebrew texts, find the spelling of the name of the man that succeeded Mosheh, and we have found the Savior’s Name perfectly preserved  ~  and based on the texts of Shemoth (Exodus).  Logical deduction brings this out.   The Name “Yahushua” describes the FUNCTION or ROLE that our Creator has become. To ignore this function/role, we have to overlook the phrase included by Gabriel when the Name was given:
 
 “But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of (Yahu(uu)ah) appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Yoseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto youMiryam your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the (Ruach haQodesh) And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call His Name (Yahushua):  for he shall save  (DELIVER) his people from their sins.   Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of (Yahuwah) by the prophet, saying,
‘Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel’, which being interpreted is, (Eloah) with us.
Then Yoseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of (Yahu(uu)ah) had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:  And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name (Yahusha).”    Matt 1:20-25

“Yeshua” Or “Yahushua”?   “Joshua” isn’t quite right; and “Yeshua” is still pretty far off, because Gabriel’s explanation of the Name at Luke 1:21 describes the function (salvation) along with Who is providing that salvation.

You will soon learn that the form “JESUS” is derived directly from “YESHU“, explained below.   What “YESHU” means will change your thinking about this radically.   In the Talmud, unbelieving Yahudim hatefully recorded the Name of the Mashiach of Yisrael as “YESHU”, often seen spelled today as “Jeschu”.

Q:    Where did we get the form “JESUS” from?

A:   The Jesuits    (They defend the form using the Greek and Latin, hoping you’ll never discover what you are about to read):   

The form “YESHUA” is from the acronym “YESHU”, a mutilation of Yahushua’s Name used by unbelieving Yahudim during the late 1st and 2nd century CE.    The letters in “YESHU” stood for the sentence, “may his name be blotted out”  (from the scroll of life).    This “Yeshu” acronym is the real root of the form “JESUS”, after going through Greek, then Latin:

YESHU   (remember, this is an acronym, meaning “may his name be blotted out”, referring to the scroll of life).   A rabbinic word-play, from the original Hebrew words:

Yemach Shmo u‘Zikro”    NOTE:   There’s not actually a letter “W” in the Hebrew alef-beth;  the letter “W” is a rather new letter to our own alpha-beta.   It’s called a “DOUBLE-U” for a reason;   our letter “U” is a perfect match with the sixth letter of the Hebrew alef-beth, now called a “WAW”.   (More accurately a “UAU”). 

Acronyms are abbreviated messages, like “SCUBA” stands for “self contained underwater breathing apparatus”.

YESU   IESOU  –  Going into Greek, the letter “Y” became an IOTA because Greek has no “Y”;   also, the sound of “SH” was lost, because Greek has no letters to make this sound.      The letter combination “OU” is a diphthong, arising from the Greek attempt to transliterate the sound “OO” as in “woof”.   Our letter “U” and the Hebrew letter “WAW”  does this easily. JESU is used also.

YESOUS  IESOU  took on an ending “S” to form IESOUS, since the Greek wanted to render the word masculine with the ending “S”.  Going to Latin, the diphthong “OU” became “U”.

JESUS  In the early 1530’s, the letter “J” developed, causing a tail on proper names beginning with the letter ” i “, and words used at the beginning of sentences.   This “J” is really the letter “IOTA”.   Many European languages pronounce “J” as the letter ” i “, or a “Y” sound.   They even spell Yugoslavia this way:  “Jugoslavia”.

Now you know.   Tell everyone you know, and don’t allow the Jesuits to succeed at this horrifying deception.   Yeh-Zeus is not our Messiah;    (The true name, Yahushua, means Yah-is our-salvation)

To see the reactions of seminary-trained men on this topic, read them at:   www.fossilizedcustoms.com/critic.html 

*YahuwehShua:  This is a form being seen recently among many Natsarim, and would be difficult if not impossible to find in the TaNaKh or any other Hebrew texts, although it is essentially exactly what “Yahushua” means and stands for, “Yahuah is our salvation”.  If it were to exist in Hebrew, it would be spelled like this: 

YOD-HAY-UAU-HAY-SHIN-UAU-AYIN, or

YOD-HAY-UAU-HAY-SHIN-AYIN

There is no letter “W” in the Hebrew, since the letter “double-U” came into existence in western Europe during the 13th century, and even then only in certain areas;  Sweden just added the letter “W” to their alphabet in 2007, even though the rest of the world has been spelling their country with the letter for centuries.  The words they use this letter in are borrowed from other languages.  The Hebrew letter commonly seen as “waw” is more accurately expressed as a “UAU”, since it conveys the sound of “U”, and sometimes “O”.  When the letter “hay” is followed by a “uau”, the sound is to be “OO”, as we hear in “hallelu Yah”.  That “u” sound you hear in “hallelu Yah” is the letter “uau”.

Certainly, Yahuah is our salvation, our only Savior, for He Himself took on the form of human flesh, offering that flesh as atonement for all the sins of mankind, once for all.  Yahushua revealed the Father to us, and His chasid (lovingkindness) that endures forever.

1Th 4:8   “Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but Elohim, Who also gives us His Set-apart Spirit.”

Col 1:12-15:    “. . . giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit to share in the inheritance of the set-apart ones in the light, Who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and transferred us into the reign of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, Who is the likeness of the invisible Elohim, the first-born of all creation.”

When I began researching the tetragrammaton, all the resources pointed to the Jewish Encyclopedia as their credibility.
This also is the source for their comments regarding the statements like “the actual pronunciation has been lost” . . . .  and other comments about how it should NEVER be uttered aloud.   Then, the Jewish Encyclopedia declares that “YAHWEH” is perhaps the closest rendering that can be made, given what we know now. 
But, as I went to the Hebrew alef-beth to learn how to make the letter sounds for different words, I discovered that the letter that is CALLED “waw” by name is really more like our letter “U”. 
The thing is, the Hebrew alef-beth has no letter “W” (double-U)  –  the letter “W” is less than 400 years old itself.  This made me ponder why they would divert the four letters (which Yosephus declares are VOWELS), so as to be impossible to pronounce by inserting a letter that never existed, nor does it exist now, in the Hebrew.  There’s simply no letter “W”.
So, I asked myself why might this be.  AH!  They don’t want anyone pronouncing the true Name!   And, the authors of the articles in the Jewish Encyclopedias are JEWISH ORTHODOX RABBIS, who revere the TALMUD, which prescribes the death-penalty for uttering the Name aloud.
Then, it was simply a matter of looking at all the situations where the letter we call “waw” is used in other Hebrew words.  We see the “waw” in the phrase “hallelu Yah”, where the “u” is this letter. 
Also, in the spelling of the tribe known as “Yahudah”, the same letter is giving us that “u” sound.  The letters are symbols for SOUNDS.
The secret is simple:  “YAHUDAH” is spelled YODHAYUAUDALETHHAY.
Notice the four letters in this five-lettered word.   It’s as simple as saying “YAHUDAH”, without the sound of the letter “D”:  YAHUAH.
With no letter “W”, it’s amazing these “scholars” managed to pull this fraud on so many people for so long, eh?

Further study of the original letters:  palaeo-Hebrew, Babylonian-Hebrew, and Greek transliteration:

The question was posed,   “Can we transliterate Messiah’s Name (Yahshua) back into the Greek?”

   The answer to this question is, not accurately;  but let’s investigate why that is.    Going through the motions will help us appreciate the difficulty getting alphabets to interface with one another, and perhaps help emphasize the importance of putting our trust in the original autographs, not the transitional language of Greek.   Mashiach Yahushua was not given a Greek name, but a well-recognized Hebrew Name, yod-hay-uau-shin-ayin, and spelled yod-shin-uau-ayin in it’s shortened form.   One has to understand the distinction between transliteration and translation.

   I think it’s a good idea for us all to take a little time looking at the results of the “reverse transliteration” process,  to help us get closer to some names and words; however the “flaw” is thinking we can reach through foreign alphabets which have intermediate distortions of letters, and grammar rules which have no application to the original language.  But, for the fun of it, it’s not a bad idea at all. 

The following are Greek letters, written as words, but basically equivalent to the Latin letters,IASOUA: IASOUA:
IOTA,   ALPHA,  SIGMA,  OMIKRON,  UPSILON,  ALPHA
   This word, “IASOUA” is the best one can do to transliterate the Name “YAHSHUA” into the Greek alphabet. 
The lack of a letter “Y” means they have to use their letter IOTA, and they have no “SH” sound at all, so the
letter SIGMA has to do.  To make the matter even worse, they tried to make the word “masculine”, according to
the Greek grammer rules, so this adds an ending letter “S”.   They should have wound up with this:IASOUAS    But, they wrote the Messiah’s Name as  IESOUS.   Notice the letter “E” instead of “A”.  They were eliminating the “YAH” sound, and retaining the sound of their female healing deity, IESO.

   I wanted to take the word “DUDE” and transliterate it into Hebrew.  Oddly enough, taking this word to the Hebrew alphabet simply involves 3 letters:  dalet-uau-dalet  —  which spells the name of the famous king of Israel known as “DAVID”.   In Hebrew, we have been led to believe this word is the name “DAVID”, or even “DAWID”.   Actually, either of these transliterations could be slightly off, or different from the original word meaning “beloved” in Hebrew.   It may be that the sound of the Hebrew letters, dalet-uau-dalet, is in fact, “DUDE”, or “DA’UD“.    It is very closely associated, it seems, with the Hebrew word for “breast”, “DAD” (with a short sounding letter “A”).    There are plenty of Arabian folks running around, probably Ishmaelites (Hagar’s descendants), and even some Edomites (Esau’s descendants, Edomim), who are called by Hebrew names;  one you may see often is “YUSEF”, or YOSEF.   Another name that is popular with these Arabs is DA’UD.  So, perhaps my theory that the Hebrew letter we call “waw” (uau) is far from being anything like our modern letter “W”, and is more like our familiar letter “U”.   “W” is called “double-U”;  so maybe we need to think of the “waw” as a single “U”, since it seems to sound like one in so many Hebrew words.  

   The letter “W” is recent, only coming into existence in the 1300’s;  so the actual letter in the Hebrew is closer to being what we know as the letter “U”.  The phrase “HALLELU YAH” uses this same Hebrew letter called “waw” to give the “U” sound.  The name of the tribe “YAHUDAH” gives us the same result (yod-hay-uau-dalet-hay)  — and this is the same spelling, and order, for the Creator’s personal Name, with the addition of the letter dalet.  Perhaps instead of calling it a “waw”, we need to call it a “UAU”.

    If we go to the Greek language, and attempt to spell YAHSHUA, the first thing we notice is that we cannot do it for the lack of two letter/sounds:  the Y and the SH.   But, if we had to come as close as we possibly could, it would still wind up like trying to play a symphony on a 4-string banjo.   It would have to begin with the Greek letter IOTA, then to simulate the vowel sound in “YAH” the second Greek letter would have to be an ALPHA.   Clement of Alexandria spelled YAHUAH (yod-hay-waw-hay) with the Greek letters IAOUE.
   So, we have the first letters in the Greek being IA.   The next step is to make the only choice left to us for the “SH” sound:  SIGMA.  Finally, I would choose the final letters as UPSILON and ALPHA.  You can see these Greek letters and their sounds at the following website:  http://www.ibiblio.org/koine/greek/lessons/alphabet.html 
 
   Perhaps the upsilon alone would not be enough, but to make the sound of the Hebrew waw (oo as in “food”), we would need to link it with the omikron to make a “dipthong”, OU, then add the ending sound A (alpha).  It would be best to simply ignore the Greek rule to make the word masculine (this would add an ending “S”). 
 
   Now we have the Greek letters IOTA, ALPHA, SIGMA, OMIKRON, UPSILON, ALPHA.  The only aberrations this leaves is the first letter IOTA, and the SIGMA.  This only makes the best attempt to sound the SHORT form of Mashiach’s full-blown Name (YAHUSHUA), shortening it to YAHSHUA (or the popularized Y’shua).  The best the Greek can do is make it sound something like “IASUA” (if we transliterate the Greek into Latin letters, like the ones we use in English, which is frighteningly close to IESU, based on YESHU described above.
 

   Writing is perhaps the most important human invention;  but it’s objective is to record/document the sounds of letters.   Where we lose information and accuracy is where alphabets interface with one another.   The Greek language is nothing short of a meat grinder to certain letter sounds.   So, we each should study enough to answer the question, “Can we transliterate Messiah’s Name (Yahshua) back into the Greek?”    The more I’ve looked into it, the answer is no;  it’s just a matter of how much mutilation a person is willing to accept — toward the Name above all names.     Scholars, etymology experts, and theologians will not disagree with you about other Hebrew names’ true transliterations.  “James” is really “Ya’aqob”, “John” is really “Yahuchanon”, and “Isaiah” is really “Yesha Yahu”.  But, when you want to use the correct Name for the Mashiach of Israel, they may get red-faced and defensive of their “Jesus” derived from YESHU.  Could there be a spiritual stronghold involved in the use of the word “Jesus”? If you know it to be a lie, then stop calling your Mashiach this false name.  Call Him by His real Name, the Name above all names: YAHUSHUA.  It’s the same spelling in Hebrew (YOD-HAY-WAW-SHIN-AYIN) used for the successor of Mosheh whom they call “Joshua”, as anyone can see even the Greek letters match for both at Acts 7 and Hebrews 4.

     Most all seminary-trained folks are still cruising down the road explaining things in terms of what they refer to as the “New Testament Language” (Greek).  So, they’re blocking the vital source of all Truth, Hebrew; and until they can break with this mental block, they will remain a prisoner, and  “a student of the New Testament Language.”  What is the language of Israel?

    Yahuah is not Greek, and neither is Yahushua.   His Name and His language is Hebrew.  The Jesuits approach the issue of the Name from only the Greek, dissecting the fine points of the letters, exactly as most all seminary-trained folks have been programmed to do.

   The Name of our Mashiach is provided by the Greek translation, but only because it points to the fact that Mosheh’s successor and our Mashiach’s Name use the same letters in Greek.
Hebrews 4 and Acts 7 contain the evidence of this.  Our Mashiach was named Yahushua, and the Israelite leader that brought the children of Israel into the Land was also named Yahushua.
Both mens’ names are rendered as IESOUS in the Greek, so all we have to do is look up the real Hebrew spelling for the man translators have called “Joshua”, and we’ve found the precious treasure we’ve been seeking.   We don’t need to investigate the fine points of HETA and EPSILON  –  these things are rendered irrelevant.  Yahushua’s Name is Hebrew, so that’s where we need to look.  It means Yah – is our – salvation.   IESOUS has no meaning in Hebrew, unless “horse” is part of the meaning (SOOS, the Hebrew word for “horse”).  “SUS” is Latin for PIG.   Zus/Zeus may have some meaning to the Greeks, but not to Israel.  

Our Husband’s Name is not Greek.

    At Ezra 2:2, the name Y’shua appears among a list of many other names.  There is no

indication that the Mashiach or His Name is associated with that specific spelling, yod-shin-uau-ayin.
 
    Another name used in Scripture is “Shua”.  Again, there’s nothing to become agitated over with that either.   The name Y’shua and Shua both share the common root, yasha, meaning rescue, save, or help.
 
    The definition of “SHUA”, #7770, is given as “a cry for HELP” (rescue, save, deliver); and this is from a ROOT, the word YASHA, spelled yod-shin-ayin #3467. So, upon closer scrutiny it is simple to understand when the connection to the root is properly applied to it.  Often a primary root is overlooked, but in this case the root YASHA gives the component “SHA” its meaning, to save. “SHA” is a component in the Name YAHUSHUA (found 2 times), and YAHUSHA (found 216 times).
 
    The Greek language serves to confirm one clear thing about the true Name of our Mashiach:  Acts 7 and Hebrews 4 both point to the fact that the Name is spelled yod-hay-uau-shin-ayin.  This is simply because both “JESUS” and “JOSHUA” have the underlying letters, IESOUS.  The Talmud would like us to believe that His Name is spelled JESCHU, based on YESHU, the acronym for yemach shmo u’zikro, “may his name be blotted out”. 
 
    The debate on how to pronounce the Greek letters H (heta) or E (epsilon) should not even be on the table.  The Name is not Greek, nor is it able to be transliterated using the Greek language.  All scholars realize this is a fact.  Greek is unable to convey the sounds necessary for the Name, so to consider it as a viable source, or even as a reasonable transitional language, is a huge mistake to make.

YHWH:  Yod Hay Uaw Hay  The 4 letters (“Tetragrammaton” is Greek, “four letters”).

The letter “W” (double-U) should really only be the Hebrew letter “uau” because the “W” came into use about the 13th century.  Clement of Alexandria transliterated Yahuah in Greek:  IAOUE.  How is it best pronounced?   See link below for more details on the Name:

Hosea 7:16 – They (Ephraim) return, but not to the most High (Audio)

Dear Reader,
Chapters 6 through 14 of the Book of Hosea gives Divine prophetic oracles concerning the time of the end of the great exile of Ephraim /Jacob in the “last days”, immediately before the Messianic Era. YHVH’s assessment of Ephraim in those last days is that “they “return” but not to Him. Here the Great Creator clearly states that Jacob-Ephraim, while he may think and argue that he is returning to YHVH, is not returning to Him, but is instead returning to something of his own choosing that is right in his own eyes (Deut 12:8; Prov 3:7; Isaiah 5:21) … Such a situation is a grave self-deception.
Over the past 3 decades, whilst there has been a significant outpouring of the RUACH (Spirit) of the Most High across the globe calling His blood washed people to repent and “come out” of the Judeo-Christian religious polemic and its consequent worldviews and replacement “systematic theologies”.
At the same time, in the last decade, while claim to return to the biblical “Hebraic Roots” of the Belief (faith), the contemporary “Hebraic Roots” and Messianic Jewish “Movements” chosen to return to an eclectic mixture of Rabbinical/ Karaite Judaism(s) roots and their associated worldviews, even in the face of a recent profound archeological revealing of the testimony of the Zadok priesthood that exposed the ancient origins of the Pharisee/ Rabbinic orthodoxies as a profaned way belonging to the ancient “sons of darkness” which has worked but to usurp the “Way” of YHVH and the “Teacher of Righteousness”, and the “Sons of Light”.
If the “Hebrew Roots Movement” were truly a biblical repentant movement seeking biblical truth they would honestly and prayerfully consider the historical Zadok testimony and its revelations, which describes the dynamics of the religious conflict that present the context of the days of the first coming of Yahushua Messiah. But instead of seeking the proper historical context by which the Words of Yahushua concerning the scribes and Pharisees can be properly discerned, choosing rather to simply ignore the ancient historical testimony and to blindly continue with their own preferred way of ecumenical reunion with the orthodox Judaism(s), instead of profoundly repenting and continuing to seek revelation of the return to the authentic set-apart paths of YHVH in accordance with the call of Jeremiah 6:16 and demonstrated to all by the authentic Way of Yahushua Messiah, the Koqesh (H-ly) One Of Israel, the begotten of The Most High and biblical Israel’s only appointed Redeemer.
This contemporary reality thus appears to fit precisely with Hosea’s tragic prophetic oracle of YHVH”s assessment of Jacob/Israel that even in the very last days of the exile, immediately preceding the great restoration and redemption, Ephraim still chooses to continue to feed on and follow after an east (Babylonian) wind (Hosea 12:1.
Consequently YHVH declares that He is not very happy with Ephraim will send Yahushua Messiah to meet His people in the last days and (Hosea 11:10) He will roar and then Ephraim will tremble
The Hebrew word “tremble” is Strong’s 02729 “charad”, which means to tremble, quake, move about, be afraid, be startled, be terrified . This prophecy fits the Ezekiel 20: 30-44 prophecy of the process of redemption which indicates that Jacob/Israel/Ephraim will be meeting with Yahushua Messiah in the “wilderness of the Peoples” and brought under the authority of His rod, and that consequently He will rule over Ephraim with fury poured out (Ezekiel 20:33-34).
Thus YHVH’s declaration in Hosea is “Therefore turn thou to they Elohiym: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy Elohiym continually” “Hosea 12:6, and again in Hosea 14:1 “ O Israel, return unto YHVH they Elohiym for thou ahs fallen by thy own iniquity” which in the Words of Yahushua is that the last generation should take care to be a wise and not a foolish virgin… , just as the prophetic injunction ends in Hosea with the following:
 Hosea 14: 7-9 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
8 ¶ Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of YHVH are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
But for those of Ephraim who are not aware of the deep pleading of YHVH for all Yahushua-redeemed “Jacob” to completely come out of religions and traditions of men and to return to Him … the full declaration of Hosea 7:16 should cause all of us to make sure of the ground on which stand in these days.
Hosea 7: 16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes (Strong’s 08629 – leaders, overseers) shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
It might be that we are on the very verge of the appointed time of meeting our Redeemer Yahushua Messiah face-to-face. That being the case the prophet Hosea calls us all to examine ourselves, and set ourselves apart from any denominations, leaders or teachers that call for submission to any other authorities rather than Yahushua Messiah in the name of ecumenical and eschatological religious unity.
May we all be encouraged to read Hosea Chapters 6-14 with prayer for discernment and full revelation in these days.

The study of the Hebraic roots of the belief (faith) is a matter quite different from the so-called Hebraic Roots or Jewish Roots / Messianic religious “movement” which is a religious expression that has been (and is increasingly being) “nudged” towards to embracing a rabbinical worldview. 

1. “The Scriptural Identity Of The Redeemed House Of Jacob” (Audio)

In this Sabbath discussion, Boaz presents an overview of the true scriptural identity of the Redeemed House of Jacob as opposed to the definitions that have been presented by the theologies of the historical religious orthodoxies.Rob then moves to the identity of Redeemed Jacob as also being discerned, according to Yahushua,  at the very level of the circumcised heart and which  is reflected by the religious “words” that a person expresses when speaking of their theology, just as Yahushua demonstrated His discernment of the Rabbinical Pharisees, as recorded in Matthew 15:8, when he said…

“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”

Warnings of what Yahushua Messiah’s discerning statement heralds for the spiritual identity of the contemporary Hebraic Roots “Movement” with its growing vocabulary of  religious Hebrew words and icons of Judaism together with their strong motivation for ecumenical  “unity” with the various forms of Judaism, as evidenced by the by increasing contemporary calls from sectors of its “shepherds” within its ranks to submit to the authority of the coming Rabbinical Sanhedrin  in matters of both doctrine and authority,  and which reflects their eschatological worldview of the identity of  “Israel” and how it will be gathered in the last days.

The conclusion is that the Hebraic Roots “movement” is in grave danger and a watchman call is to those who love Yahushua Messiah to prayerfully discern and remove themselves from  the influences of Rabbinical Judaism, and especially to become discerningly careful to listen and resist the prolific use of confusing and ambiguous religious “words” and forms of expression that seem honoring of Yahushua, but in reality mask ambiguous hidden meanings reflecting the gnostic rabbinical worldview and which provide a cover for the identity those who are not of His flock, being against Yahushua’s  Divinity,  all of which works against the Sword of the Spirit, the RUACH of YHVH and the Apostolic testimony of the true Good News of the Kingdom that must be shared first with brother Judah.

The study of the Hebraic roots of the faith is a matter quite different from the so-called Hebraic Roots or Jewish Roots / Messianic religious “movement” which is a religious expression that has been (and is increasingly being) “nudged” towards to embracing a rabbinical worldview. This is evidenced by the number of its “shepherds” who have called for the “movement” submit to the authority of the coming Rabbinical Sanhedrin, and  its doctrines and its soon to be built temple, (especially in areas of theological dispute such as the biblical calendar), in the interests of their eschatological view of the restoration and unification of the houses of Israel.

However the matter of scriptural authority over of the redeemed House of Jacob is very clearly and specifically placed in Yahushua Messiah, the  Kadesh (Holy) One of Israel.  So it can be seen that a rabbinically influenced Hebraic roots / messianic “movement” can be described as a theological overreaction to the error of the religious polemic that exists between historical Christianity at one pole and Rabbinical Judaism and the other, both of which present different and competing replacement theologies of the scriptures.

Fleeing from the theological errors of historical Christendom, to then choose  a theological position of submitting to Rabbinical authority on the opposite pole, is a tragic error especially given the emerging ecumenical relationship between historical Christendom and historical Rabbinicalism in these days.  (This growing ecumenicalism clearly demonstrates that world elites are clearly socially engineering the new world religion through a process of Hegelian synthesis of these two polemics to form something of the new world order religion, of which the coming Rabbinical – Roman temple that will be raised in Jerusalem in the near future has already been recognized and protected under special UN legislation.

Those who are part of the Hebraic Roots /Messianic  “movement” who hold their belief (faith) in Yahushua Messiah must extract themselves from a Hebraic roots “ movement” that chooses to reposition their obedience from Yahushua Messiah to a Rabbinical Sanhedrin, just as true evangelical Christians are finding themselves also having to resist the growing trend of evangelical religious institutions who are increasingly embracing an  ecumenical relationship with Rome.  To this end all who are in Yahushua Messiah must hear the call of Heaven at this time which is:

“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (Rev 18:4).

3. The “Israelologies” Of Historical Christendom and Historical Judaism Versus The Authentic Great News Of Yahushua And The Biblical “Israel Of YHVH” (Audio)

In this discussion Boaz and Rob explore how the religious polemic of Christendom through Rabbinicalism both present non-biblical Israelologies.

Israelology is the area of theological study of the identity and prophetic declarations of the redemption of Israel, YHVH’s people. It is important to understand that as one’s doctrines of “Israelology” go, so does one’s perspectives and interpretations of prophecy goes, since the theologies of “Israelology” are intimately related to the various understandings and interpretations of prophecy which characterize the doctrines of the two orthodoxies and the continuum of the full range of denominational religious persuasions that exist between them. A false “Israelology” is a clear sign that one is held captive by the erroneous polemic of Historical Christendom and Rabbinical religions of men.

When the “Israelologies” of Christendom and Rabbinicalism are considered in the context of what is written in Moses, the Prophets, Yahushua’s declarations and the Apostolic testimonies, the conclusion once again is that the redemption of YHVH’s people (Redeemed Israel) is a matter that can only be understood outside of and separate from the religious worldviews which characterize the polemic religions of Christianity and Judaism along with all their sub-stream denominations (biblically called their “daughters”).

From this discussion, it is hoped that the hearer may see something of how both sides of the orthodox polemic proclaim non-biblical “Israelologies” which are constructed specifically to favour their own identity and justify their own control over the “Kingdom of Heaven” and to subjugate the Word of YHVH.

Thus by carefully comparing their “Israelologies” with what is written in the scriptures we see once again that it is only by coming out from Babylonian religious polemic that we can place ourselves in a position to rightly discern biblical prophecy of the last days.

In conclusion, the watchman warning is that it is precisely because of the non-biblical “Israelologies” of Historical Christendom and Rabbinical Judaism that many denominations and individuals are being (and will yet be) deceived in these days into eschatological positions that may be anti-Yahushua Messiah and His mandate. Unless one is able to discern, recognize and repent from non-biblical “Israelology” and come entirely out of “Mystery Babylon” one may be deceived into accepting a soon-coming apostate global ecumenical religion, which heralds an apostate redemption narrative, and is controlled by a religious leadership (priesthood) which are in direct rebellion against YHVH’s declared prophetic Word. Thus, it is through our own ignorance of YHVH’s Word that one end in a theological position which is at enmity with YHVH’s biblical redemptive plan in the last days.

In the Book of Hosea, YHVH warns that not only are His people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge, but those who willfully choose to reject gaining true knowledge of His Word, He will reject from being a priest unto him (Hosea 4:6).   So we must study and discern this important matter of biblical “Israelology” that we may be approved to rightly discern His Word and to ensure we are ready to stand on the right side of the “Elijah” line in the coming days!

The Beauty of Blindness

by welltrod

How quickly we lose sight of what He has done for us. Have you ever felt
as though He isn’t there – though you know He is? This transition has been
a very difficult one. Though we saw many miracles in our “exodus”, I find
myself lately, crying out, ‘where are you Abba?’ I mean how can I utter
those words, knowing what He had just brought us through to get us here?
I am beginning to understand how the children of Israel felt in the wilderness,
crying out; ‘have You abandoned us?’, ‘have You left us?’ Though they were
just delivered by Yahuweh’s mighty outstretched Arm, they looked around and
wondered where He was.
How selfish we are sometimes. The constant need of assurance that He is there
right beside us, never leaving us. Messiah said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake
you.’ Is that statement based upon our natural feelings, or His almighty promise
and track record of faithfulness?
This blog is not about how ‘together’ we have it on the surface, but the hidden
depths of using our ‘realness’ and ‘weakness’ to help expose what walking with
Father is all about. We are learning that in order to truly worship Abba Yahuweh,
our pride must be crushed. What is pride? Merely thinking that we can do something
on our own without His help. Our hearts are to lead people back Home again –
how can we do that if the signs we hold up are signs of pretending? It is in realness
that truth dwells. So it is in realness, that He can use us to help lead others back to Himself.
I am experiencing times when He seems far away. I don’t “feel Him”, I don’t “hear Him”,
yet I know within my spirit that He is there. Sometimes He has to let go and let us free-fall,
for us to see who we were really holding on to. If He doesn’t “let go” in our walk with Him
at times, how will we ever know where our strength lies or in whom it lies? It is in the times
when He seems to withdraw from us, that our true inward weaknesses are exposed.
If we are never tested, how can the silver be purified?
I want this blog, this site, this ministry, and my life to be real, no sugar coating, or
plastic ware.  It’s been an uphill climb since our move – I will be honest. I have
found myself many times crying out ‘show Yourself Abba? and ‘please… don’t leave me’.
The natural impact of  relocating and all of the barriers that come with it, is more
than enough. But when you add the lies and deceptions the enemy pours into your
thoughts on a daily basis, it is overwhelming. I know His purpose for us. I know
His will for us. I know our role here on earth – for this specific hour. I know these things,
and I do not regret the decision we have made. However, when it “feels” like He is distant;
a million miles away, the purposes and plans – the energetic drive to reach out beyond
oneself becomes an empty mist – a cloud that makes us think He has hidden Himself from us.
BlindnessAs I sat in our living room one morning
last week around 5:00 am, I looked out our large, floor to ceiling bay windows. From this
view, you can see the beautiful mountains that stretch as far as the eye can see. However,
that morning (as many mornings like it), the clouds had drifted in and were so thick, you
could not see the mountains I knew were there. The clouds do not stay for any great length
of time, because the wind comes and blows them along, drying up their damp interior and
causing them to dissipate right before your eyes.
ClarityI sat there for a long time and watched
as the wind began to blow. The clouds began to move and the blind whiteness of the fog
started to disappear. The clouds that had moved in, were now receding all the way back,
miles upon miles, beyond the mountains. Before I knew it, I watched as the last bit of cloudy
mist disappeared, and the mountains that I knew were there, became clear once again.
As I meditated upon this, with a mind full of questions and wondering, I began to see what He wanted me to see.
Though I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, the mountains were out there somewhere, hidden briefly by the whiteness
of dense clouds; that eventually, the wind would begin to blow and what was hidden would become clear again.
If we wait long enough to see what we know is in our spirit – His Wind, His Spirit, will begin to blow the clouds,
drying up the moisture, wicking away the tears, until behold; the majestic mountains that were there all along,
make themselves known. The grandeur of our majestic Father is always there, but there are times when the blindness
to His beauty, through testing and trials, causes us to find out where are trust really lies and whose “beauty”
we have been gazing upon all along. It is in the times when He allows Himself to be hidden for a season, that
we really get a good view of how blind and naked we really are.
He is always there, however by His gentle testing or by our own choices, the whiteness of the clouds in our lives
reminds us that we are frail and weak; stumbling around in an endless effort to find our way. He doesn’t leave us
in the dark, though He does “blind” us occasionally from Himself for us to realize that it is not within us to guide
our own way, but to be patient and wait upon Him. If we are not blinded from seeing Him at times in our lives,
how can the works of Elohim be manifested within us? (John 9)
For if we wait out the blindness, crying out to Him for help, His Spirit will begin to blow, and the clarity of His presence
whispers to us that He was always there, waiting for us to stop relying upon our own ability to see into the dense fog.
It is in our trust of the Known, that we wait out the blindness, so that His mountain of faithfulness can be made clear;
reassuring us that though we cannot see for a while, His faithfulness remains forever.
Stay glued to the Known – recall His faithfulness – endure to the end!
To Him Who sees tomorrow – Praise His Majestic Name!
To you this day…
Shabbat Shalom

I waited, waited for יהוה; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry. And He drew me Out of the pit of destruction, Out of the muddy clay, And He set my feet upon a rock, He is establishing my steps.

Psalm 40:1-2

 

WHO WAS “THE LORD”i IN THE OLD TESTAMENT?

THE BIBLICAL CRITERION OF DOUBLE ATTESTATIONii IN THE IDENTITY

ISRAEL’S TRUE MESSIAH

by Merlin Houzet

http://www.inthatday.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/THENAME.pdf  (Click here for easy reading PDF)

 

It is indeed startling to discover that Messiah’s historical existence and His supreme divinity is openly attested in the Scriptures. The logical way to confirm His divinity is from the Hebrew Bible known as the Tanak,iii otherwise known as the Old [First] Testament, and to point to instances where the Messianic Scriptures or the the New Covenant [NT] quotes passages from the Tanak and applies them to the historical figure, Yahushua HaMashiach, in harmony with the Biblical criterion of double attestation.

YAHUSHUA SAID: “MOSHEH [MOSES] WROTE ABOUT ME”

(And that was putting it mildly for Mosheh wrote about YHWH  [Yahuah] scores of times in the Torah!)

“For if you believed Mosheh [Moses], you would have believed Me, since he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe My words?” (Yohanan [John] 5:46, 47)

“No man can come to Me, except the Father Who has sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall be all taught of Yahueh.’ Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father,  comes to Me” (Yohanan [John] 6:44, 45)iv

Now, notwithstanding the fact that the name [YHWV [Yahushua] is mentioned 222 times in the Tanak [the Hebrew Scriptures] and more especially in the Torah however where the name refers primarily to “Joshua” son of Nun, e.g., Shemoth [Exodus] 17:9; 24:13; 32:17; 33:11; Bemidbar [Numbers] 13:16; 27:18; but also typically of HaMashiach in Devarim 18:15-19 as referred to above, one may logically ask:

“Where exactly did Moses actually write copiously about Yahushua as we have come to know Him in the New Covenant Scriptures”?

The answer will astound anyone not familiar with the subject for it must surely be very evident in the writings of Moses as found in the Torah (Genesis to Deuteronomy), the first five books of the Tanak.

The primary and evident answer of course is that every time Mosheh wrote about the name hwhy [Yahueh] and His acts he was in fact indirectly writing about [YHWV [Yahushua] for this is what Yahushua implied by His pronouncement:

“For if you believed Mosheh [Moses], you would have believed Me, since he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe My words?” (John 5:46, 47).

It is therefore immeasurably more than a common curiosity to note that the prefix YHW [Yahu] in [YHWV [Yahushua] is

also the prefix in hwhy [Yahueh], demonstrating their bosom oneness. hwhy [Yahueh] SEC #H3068 occurs more than 6500 times in the Tanak where the LXX [Septuagint] incorrectly has KURIOS [Kurios], the Vulgate incorrectly has Dominvs and KJV incorrectly has LORD.

Yahushua, after His resurrection, again pointed out the fact, moreover, not alone of Mosheh’s writing about Him, but also all the Prophets:

“Then Yahushua said to them: O deficient in understanding, and slow of heart to believe all the things that the Prophets uttered. Were not these things to be; that the Messiah should suffer and that He should enter into His glory? Then He began from Moses, and from all the Prophets, and expounded to them concerning Himself from all the Scriptures. (Luke 24:25-27)

HEBRAIC FIGURES OF SPEECH FOR THE MESSIAH

It is absolutely essential in our interpretation of Scripture that we take into consideration the Hebraic employment of the metaphor figure of speech which sees Yahushua as the metaphorical Right Hand of Yahueh. Metaphors are most frequently compared with similes. The Colombia Encyclopedia, 6th edition, explains the difference as: a simile states that A is like B, a metaphor states that A is B or substitutes B for A.

Where a metaphor asserts the two objects in the comparison are identical on the point of comparison, a simile merely asserts a similarity. For this reason a metaphor is generally considered more forceful than a simile.“To sit at one’s right hand” or “Son of Elohim [God]” in Scripture need not be taken literally as a separate personage but is clearly a metaphor for Yahuah Himself.  Consequently, any subsequent appearance of Yahushua HaMashiach, as for example when He appeared after His resurrection as recorded in the Gospels or in the Acts of the Apostles, or His promise to return in the future, have been, or are still to be, in His divine form of hwhy [Yahueh] but in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach, Yisra’el’s Redeemer. Consider Yahushua’s question posed to the Pharisees:

“And when the Pharisees were gathered together, [vwhy asked them, saying, ‘What do you think concerning the Messiah? Whose Son is He?’ They said to Him, ‘The Son of Dawiḏ.’ He said to them, ‘Then how does Dawiḏ in the Spirit call Him ‘Master’, saying, ‘hwhy said to my Master, ‘Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool of Your feet’. ‘If then Dawiḏ calls Him ‘Master’, how is He his Son?” And no one was able to answer Him a word, and from that day on no one was bold enough to ask Him any more questions. (Mattithyahu 22:41-46 – The Scriptures 1998)

YHWH said to my Master, ‘Sit at My right hand, Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet. YHWH sends Your mighty sceptre out of Tsiyon. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! Your people volunteer in the day of Your might, In the splendours of set-apartness! From the womb, from the morning, You have the dew of Your youth! hwhy has sworn and does not relent, ‘You are a priest forever According to the order of Malkitsedeq.’ hwhy at Your right hand Shall The Scriptures 1998) Therefore, by logical conclusion: YHWH [Yahueh] = [YHWV [Yahushua]

IN THE TANAK [PRE-MESSIANIC SCRIPTURES, i.e., THE O.T.] YHWH [YAHUAH]v IS THE SHEPHERD WHO SEEKS FOR HIS LOST SHEEP

“My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill. And My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them. Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of hwhy: ‘As I live,’ declares the Master hwhy, ‘because My flock became a prey, and My flock became food for every beast of the field, from not having a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock, therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of hwhy! Thus said the Master hwhy, ‘See, I am against the shepherds, and shall require My flock at their hand, and shall make them cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall feed themselves no more. And I shall deliver My flock from their mouths, and they shall no longer be food for them. For thus said the Master hwhy ‘See, I Myself shall search for My sheep and seek them out.’ (Ezekiel 34:6-11 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

“’And they shall know that I, hwhy their Elohim, am with them, and that they, the house of Yisra’ĕl, are My people,’ declares the Master hwhy ‘And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, are men, and I am your Elohim,’ declares the Master hwhy ” (Ezekiel 34:30:31 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

BUT THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES ATTEST DOUBLY TO HIS DEITY BY CONFIRMING THAT THE SHEPHERD OF THE TANAK IS YAHUSHUA

“For what credit is there in enduring a beating when you sin? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure, this finds favour with Elohim. For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps, who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth, who, being reviled, did not revile in return; suffering, did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; who Himself bore our sins in His body on the timber, so that we, having died to sins, might live unto righteousness – by whose stripes you were healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your lives.”vi (I Peter 2:20-25 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. But the hireling, and not being a shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees. And the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them. Now the hireling flees because he is a hireling and is not concerned about the sheep. I am the good shepherd.1 And I know Mine, and Mine know Me, even as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheepvii I have which are not of this foldviii – I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd. (John 10:11-16 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

IN THE TANAK [PRE-MESSIANIC SCRIPTURES, i.e., THE O.T.] IT IS TO YHWH [YAHUAH] TO WHOM EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW

Who has announced this from of old? Who has declared it from that time? Is it not I, hwhy? And there is no mighty onebesides Me, a righteous Ěl and a Saviour, there is none besides Me. Turn to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am Ěl, and there is none else. I have sworn by Myself, a word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, so that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue swear. One shall say, ‘Only in hwhy do I have righteousness and strength’ – he comes to Him. And all those displeased with Him shall be put to shame. In YHWH all the seed of Yisra’ĕl shall be declared right and boast.’” (Yeshayahu 45:21b-25 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

BUT THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES ATTEST DOUBLY TO HIS DEITY BY CONFIRMING THAT AT THE NAME [vwhy [YAHUSHUA] EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW

“For, let this mind be in you which was also in Messiah [vwhy, who, being in the form of Elohim, did not regard equality with Elohim a matter to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, and came to be in the likeness of men. And having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake. Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name,ix that at the Name of [vwhy every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and every tongue should confess that [vwhy Messiah is Master, to the esteem of Elohim the Father.” (Philippians 2:5-11 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

Therefore, by logical conclusion: YHWH [Yahueh] = [YHWV [Yahushua]

IN THE TANAK [PRE-MESSIANIC SCRIPTURES, i.e., THE O.T.] YHWH [YAHUEH] IS THE ONE UPON WHOM WE CALL TO BE SAVED

“And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of hwhy shall be delivered. For on Mount Tsiyon and in Yerushalayim there shall be an escape as hwhy has said, and among the survivors whom hwhy calls.” (Yoel 2:32 – The Scriptures 1998)

BUT THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES ATTEST DOUBLY TO HIS DEITY BY CONFIRMING THAT [vwhy [YAHUSHUA] IS THE ONE WHOM WE MUST CONFESS WITH THE MOUTH AND CALL UPON IN ORDER TO BE SAVED

“For Mosheh writes about the righteousness which is of the Torah, ‘The man who does these shall live by them. But the righteousness of belief speaks in this way, ‘Do not say in your heart, ‘Who shall ascend into the heavens?’ – that is, to bring Messiah down; or, ‘Who shall descend into the abyss?’ – that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead. But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” – that is, the word of belief which we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth the Master [vwhy and believe in your heart that Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, and so is saved. Because the Scripture says, ‘Whoever puts his trust in Him shall not be put to shame. Because there is no distinction between Yehuḏite and Greek, for the same Master of all is rich to all those calling upon Him. For ‘everyone who calls on the Namex of hwhy shall be saved.’” (Romans 10:5-13 – The Scriptures 1998)

MOREOVER, HIS VERY NAME [YHWV [YAHUSHUA], EQUATES YHWH [YAHUAH] WITH SALVATION

Most people who have heard of Him called Him Jesusxi Christxii; but this was not His real name. His original and genuine name is [YHWV [Yahushua]xiii xyvmh [HaMashiach]xiv

“Who has gone up to the heavens and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound thewaters in a garment? Who established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name, And what is His Son’s Name, If you know it”? (Mishle [Proverbs] 30:4 – The Scriptures 1998)

The Septuagint’s Koine-based Greek Church name IHSOUS [Ihsous] had not ever carried any hint neither of the words Saviour, salvation nor of save nor of any literal embodiment of the divine Name, hwhy [Yahueh]. On the other hand there is a clear-cut relationship between [vwhy [Yahushua], hwhy [Yahueh] and h[wvy [yashuah=salvation], the angelic announcement to His earthly step-father, Yosef, being:

“And she shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name [vwhy for He shall savexv His people from their sins.” (Mattithyahu 1:21 – The Scriptures 1998)

The fact that the angel spoke Hebrew in “She shall bring forth a son, and you shall call His name [vwhy [Yahushua], for He shall save His people from their sins” is confirmed in that he gave a valid reason for the Name he gave the Incarnate Yahueh, “for He shall save His people from their sins”. The play on words is possible in Hebrew but not in Aramaic; nor for that matter in Koine. The Hebrew verb for save is [vy [yashua=save] {spelled: Yud-Shin-Ayin} SEC #H3467, a root of the noun h[wvy [yashuah=salvation] {spelled: Yud-Shin-Vav-Ayin-Heh} SEC#H3444.

However there are millions of people, including learned scholars, who imagine that [vwhy [Yahushua] was not an historical figure at all and also millions others that do not realize that He was in fact the great Creator of the universe who made a personal visitation to Israel between the years 4 BCE and 30 CE in the Julian-Gregorian Calendar or between 3757xvi and 3790xvii in the Hebrew calendar.

It is fitting therefor that as Creator-Messiah His atoning death had been doubly attested by being foretold in the Tanak 476 years before it occurred,xviii in terms of the prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27xix

ASTONISHINGLY THE TANAK [PRE-MESSIANIC SCRIPTURES, i.e., THE O.T.] RECORD THAT IT WAS YHWH [YAHUAH] WHO WAS “PIERCED”

“The message of the word of YHWH [Yahuah] against Yisra’ĕl. YHWH [Yahuah], stretching out the heavens, and laying the foundation of the earth, and forming the spirit of man within him, declares…

‘And I shall pour on the house of Dawiḏ and on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers. And they shall look on Mexx whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son. And they shall be in bitterness over Him as a bitterness over the rwkb [first-born].xxi (Zakaryah 12:1, 10 – The Scriptures 1998)

HOWEVER THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES ATTEST DOUBLY TO HIS DEITY BY CONFIRMING THAT IT WAS IN FACT [YHWV [YAHUSHUA] WHO WAS “PIERCED”

“Therefore, since it was the Preparationxxii Day, that the bodies should not remain on the stake on the Sabbath – for that Sabbath was a high one – the Yehuḏim asked Pilate to have their legs broken, and that they be taken away. Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was impaled with Him, but when they came to [YHWV [Yahushua] and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and instantly blood and water came out. And he who has seen has witnessed, and his witness is true. And he knows that he is speaking the truth, in order that you might believe. For this took place in order for the Scripture to be filled: ‘Not one of His bones shall be broken.’ And again another Scripture says, ‘They shall look on Him whom they pierced.’” (Yohanan [John] 19:31-37 – The Scriptures 1998)

Note: The One being pierced in John 19:37 is [YHWV [Yahushua] but the One being pierced in Zakaryah 12:10 is clearly YHWH [Yahueh] in terms of Zakaryah 12:1.

Note: “Me” … “Him” – The change of person is due to Yahueh-Mashiach speaking in His own person first, then the prophet speaking of Him. [Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary] Therefore, by logical conclusion: YHWH [Yahueh] = [YHWV [Yahushua]

MOREOVER THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES ATTEST DOUBLY TO HIS DEITY BY CONFIRMING THAT [YHWV [YAHUSHUA] WAS SENTENCED TO DEATH ON THE CHARGE OF HIS CLAIMING TO BE YHWH [YAHUEH] ON PASSOVER EVE 3790xxiii HEBREW CALENDAR [OR 30 CE]

Then the high priest stood up in the centre and asked [vwhy, saying, ‘Have You no answer to make? What do these witness against You?’ But He remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, ‘Are You the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed?’ And [vwhy said, ‘I am, and you shall see the Son of Aḏam sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of the heaven.’ And tearing his garments, the high priest said, ‘What further need do we have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?’ And they all condemned Him to be liable to death. And some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, ‘Prophesy!’ And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands.” (Mark 14:60-65 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine); also at Matt 26:57-67; Luke 22:66-71; John 18:19-24).

Note carefully as nonpredicated His authoritative statement in His answer to the high priest, above, as when Yahushua uses the divine phrase “I am” (i.e., absolute). See R. E. Brown, John (AB), 1:533- 38 which view sees the nonpredicated “I am” as a reference to the divine Name revealed in Shemoth [Exodus] 3:14, reflected in English translations like NAB (“if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins”).

THE EXPERT OPINIONS OF SOME FAMOUS AMERICAN LAWYERS

(Quoted from page 93 “Evidence that Demands a Verdict” by Josh McDowell)

Judge Gaynor in “The mistrials of Jesus (sic)” the accomplished jurist of the New York bench, in his address upon the trial of Yahushua, takes the ground that blasphemy was the one charge made against Him before the Sanhedrin. He says: “It is plain from each of the gospel narratives that the alleged crime for which Jesus (sic) was tried and convicted was blasphemy…”

The lawyer Irwin Linton states: “Unique among criminal trials is this one in which not the actions but the identity of the accused is the issue…”

The lawyer and one time sceptic Frank Morison wrote: “Jesus (sic) of Nazareth was condemned to death, not upon the statements of His accusers, but upon an admission extorted from Him under oath.”

In “Christ and the Critics” Hilarin Felder wrote “This inspection of the trial of Jesus (sic) should be sufficient to give us the invincible conviction that the Saviour confessed His true divinity before His judges.”

Therefore, by logical conclusion: hwhy [Yahueh] = [YHWV [Yahushua]

IN THE TANAK [PRE-MESSIANIC SCRIPTURES, i.e., THE O.T.] YHWH [YAHUEH] LEGISLATES THROUGH THE TRIBE OF YEHUDAH [JUDAH] UNTIL THE ARRIVAL OF “SHILOH”xxiv

“The sceptre shall not turn aside from Yehuḏah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him is the obedience of peoples.” (Genesis 49:10 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

“For a Child shall be born unto us, a Son shall be given unto us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called Wonder, Counsellor, Strong Ěl, Father of Continuity, Prince of Peace.” (Yeshayahu 9:6 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

“’See, the days are coming,’ declares hwhy, ‘when I shall make a vdh [chadash=new SEC #H2319] covenant with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah,xxv not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Mitsrayim, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them,’ declares hwhy. ‘For this is the covenant I shall make with the house of Yisra’ĕl after those days, declares YHWH: I shall put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it on their hearts. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. And no longer shall they teach, each one his neighbour, and each one his brother, saying, “Know YHWH,” for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,’ declares hwhy. ‘For I shall forgive their crookedness, and remember their sin no more.’ Thus said YHWH, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the laws of the moon and the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, and its waves roar – YHWH of hosts is His Name: ‘If these laws vanish from before Me,’ declares YHWH, ‘then the seed of Yisra’ĕl shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever.’ Thus said hwhy, ‘If the heavens above could be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I would also cast off all the seed of Yisra’ĕl for all that they have done,’ declares YHWH” (Yirmyahu 31:31-37 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

BUT THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES ATTEST DOUBLY TO HIS DEITY BY CONFIRMING THAT “SHILOH” [YHWV [YAHUSHUA] PERSONALLY MEDIATES AND LEGISLATES THE NEW COVENANT

“And as they were eating, [vwhy took bread, and having blessed, broke and gave it to the taught ones and said, ‘Take, eat, this is My body.’ And taking the cup, and giving thanks, He gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood, that of the renewed [vdh =chadash, new SEC #H2319] covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. But I say to you, I shall certainly not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on till that day when I drink it anew with you in the reign of My Father.’ And having sung a song, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Then [YHWV said to them, ‘All of you shall stumble in Me this night, for it has been written, “I shall strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.”’xxvi (Mattithyahu 26:26-31 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

“By as much as this [YHWV has become a guarantor of a better covenant.” (Ibrim [Hebrews] 7:22 – The Scriptures 1998) “But now He has obtained a more excellent service, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was constituted [NOMOTHETEO=legislated as Torah] on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. For finding fault with them, He says, ‘See, the days are coming,’ says hwhy, ‘when I shall conclude with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah a renewed [vdh =chadash, new SEC #H2319] covenant, not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Mitsrayim, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them,’ says hwhy. ‘Because this is the covenant that I shall make with the house of Yisra’ĕl after those days, says YHWH, giving My laws in their mind, and I shall write them on their hearts, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. And they shall by no means teach each one his neighbour, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know YHWH,’ because they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. Because I shall forgive their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I shall no longer remember.”xxvii By saying, ‘New,’ He has made the first old. Now what becomes old and growing aged is near disappearing.” (Ibrim [Hebrews] 8:6-13 – The Scriptures 1998, with my additions of the meaning of the original Greek) The writer to the Ibrim [Hebrews] thus applies the Tanak passage (Yirmyahu 31:31-37) to Yahushua Ha Mashiach although it clearly spoke of Yahuah.

Therefore, by logical conclusion: YHWH [Yahuah] = [YHWV [Yahushua]

IN THE TANAK [PRE-MESSIANIC SCRIPTURES, i.e., THE O.T.] IT IS YHWH [YAHUAH] WHO WAS THE SANCTUARY AND THE STUMBLING STONE

“YHWH of hosts, Him you shall set apart. Let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. And He shall be for a set apart place, but a stone of stumbling and a rock that makes for falling to both the houses of Yisra’ĕl, as a trap and a snare to the  inhabitants of Yerushalayim. And many among them shall stumble and fall, and be broken and snared and ” (Yeshayahu 8:13-15 – The Scriptures 1998)

Notes:

Sanctuary: inviolable asylum, like the altar of the temple (1Ki 1:50; 2:28; Eze 11:16; compare Pro 18:10); namely, to those who fear and trust in Him.

Offence: that is, a rock over which they should fall to their hurt; namely those who would not believe.

Both houses: Israel and Judah. Here again the prophecy expands beyond the temporary application in Ahaz’ time. The very stone, Immanuel, which would have been a sanctuary on belief, becomes a fatal stumbling-block through unbelief. Yahushua refers to this in Mat 21:44. (Compare Deu 32:4, 15, 18, 30, 31; Dan 2:34; Rom 9:33; 1Pe 2:8).

Gin: trap, in which birds are unexpectedly caught (Luk 21:35; 1Th 5:2). So at the destruction of Jerusalem under Titus. [Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary]

BUT THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES ATTEST DOUBLY TO HIS DEITY BY CONFIRMING THAT [YHWV [YAHUSHUA] IS THE SANCTUARY AND THE STUMBLING STONE TO BOTH THE HOUSES OF ISRAEL

“And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ there they shall be called sons of the living Elohim. And Yeshayahu cries out on behalf of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Though the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved. For He is bringing a matter to an end, and is cutting it short in righteousness, because hwhy shall cut short a matter on the earth.” And as Yeshayahu said before, ‘If hwhy of hosts had not left us a seed, we would have become like Seḏom, and we would have been made like Amorah.’ What shall we say then? That gentiles not following after righteousness, have obtained righteousness, even the righteousness of belief, but Yisra’ĕl following after the Torah of righteousness, has not arrived at the Torah of righteousness. Why? Because it was not of belief, but as by works of Torah. For they stumbled at the Stone of stumbling. As it has been written, ‘See, I lay in Tsiyon a Stone of stumbling and a Rock that makes for falling, and everyone who is believing on Him shall not be put to shame.’” (Romans 9:26-33 – The Scriptures 1998)

IN THE TANAK [PRE-MESSIANIC SCRIPTURES, i.e., THE O.T.] YAHUAH IS THE SAVIOUR AND HIS IS THE HOLY [SET-APART] ARM THAT BRINGS SALVATION

“’Who is this coming from Edom, with garments of glowing colours from Botsrah, who is robed in splendour, striding forward in the greatness of His strength?’ ‘It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.’ ‘Why is there red on Your raiment, and Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?’ ‘I have trodden the winepress alone, and from the peoples no one was with Me. And I trod them down in My displeasure, and I trampled them in My wrath. Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, and I have defiled all My raiment. For a day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come. And I looked, but there was none helping, and I was astonished that there was none upholding. So My own arm saved for Me, and My wrath upheld Me. And I trod down peoples in My displeasure, and made them drunk in My wrath, and brought down their strength to earth.’ ‘Let me recount the kindnesses of YHWH and the praises of hwhy, according to all that hwhy has done for us, and the great goodness toward the house of Yisra’ĕl, which He has done for them according to His compassion, and according to His many kindnesses. And He said, ‘They are My people, children who do not act falsely.’ (Yeshayahu 63:1-8 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

Also His hand was used to symbolize His creative activity:

“Also, My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens. I call to them, let them stand together.” (Yeshayahu 48:13 – The Scriptures 1998)

“Look, the hand of YHWH has not become too short to save, nor His ear too heavy to hear.” (Yeshayahu 59:1 – The Scriptures).

There are also many texts combining both YHWH[Yahueh]’s arm and His hand: “And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Mitsrayim, and that YHWH your Elohim brought you out from there by a strong hand and by an utstretched arm. Therefore hwhy your Elohim commanded you to observe the Sabbath day. ” (Devarim 5:15 – The Scriptures 1998).

BUT THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES ATTEST DOUBLY TO HIS DEITY BY CONFIRMING THAT THE “HOLY ARM OF YAHUEH” TURNED OUT TO BE NONE LESS THAN YAHUAH HIMSELF WHEN HE “RETURNED TO TSIYON” INCOGNITO AS “SERVANT” YAHUSHUA, THE “MAN OF SORROWS”

“Therefore My people shall know My Namexxviii, in that day, for I am the One who is speaking. See, it is I. How pleasant upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings good news, who proclaims deliverance, who says to Tsiyon, ‘Your Elohim reigns!’ The voice of your watchmen! They shall lift up their voices, together they shout for joy, because eye to eye they see the return of hwhy to Tsiyonxxix… Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Yerushalayim! For hwhy shall comfort His people, He shall redeem Yerushalayim. hwhy shall lay bare His set-apart arm in the eyes of all the nations. And all the ends of the earth shall see the deliverance of our Elohim. (Yeshayahu 52:6-10 – The Scriptures, emphasis mine)

“Who has believed our report? And to whom was the armxxx of hwhy revealed? For He grew up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or splendour that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should desire Him – despised and rejected by men, a man of pains and knowing sickness. And as one from whom the face is hidden, being despised, and we did not consider Him. Truly, He has borne our sicknesses and carried our pains. Yet we reckoned Him stricken, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our crookednesses. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. We all, like sheep, went astray, each one of us has turned to his own way. And hwhy has laid on Him the crookedness of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, but He did not open His mouth. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, but He did not open His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment. And as for His generation, who considered that He shall be cut off from the land of the living? For the transgression of My people He was stricken. And He was appointed a grave with the wrong, and with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence, nor was deceit in His mouth. But hwhy was pleased to crush Him, He laid sickness on Him, that when He made Himself an offering for guilt, He would see a seed, He would prolong His days and the pleasure of hwhy prosper in His hand. He would see the result of the suffering of His life and be satisfied. Through His knowledge My righteous Servant makes many righteous, and He bears their crookednesses. Therefore I give Him a portion among the great, and He divides the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His being unto death,xxxi and He was counted with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. ” (Yeshayahu 53:1-12 – The Scriptures, emphasis mine)

IN THE TANAK [PRE-MESSIANIC SCRIPTURES, i.e., THE O.T.] THE COMING OF YHWH [YAHUAH] IS LIKENED TO THE FORMER AND LATTER RAIN

“Come, and let us turn back to hwhy. For He has torn but He does heal us, He has stricken but He binds us up. After two days He shall revive us, on the third day He shall raise us up, so that we live before Him. So let us know, let us pursue to know hwhy. His going forth is as certain as the morning. And He comes to us like the rain, like the latter rain watering the earth. ‘Ephrayim, what would I do with you? Yehuḏah,xxxii what would I do with you? For your trustworthiness is like a morning cloud, and like the early dew it goes away.’” (Hosea 6:1-4 – The Scriptures 1998)

BUT THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES ATTEST DOUBLY TO HIS DEITY BY CONFIRMING THAT THE COMING OF MASHIACH [MESSIAH] IS LIKENED TO THE FORMER AND LATTER RAIN

“So, brothers, be patient until the coming of the Master. See, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.* You too, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Master has drawn near.” (James 5:7, 8 – The Scriptures 1998)

*That is “ hwhy. His (that is, Master Yahushua, going forth is as certain as the morning. And He comes to us like the rain” (referring to Hosea 6:3). Therefore, by logical conclusion: hwhy [Yahueh] = [vwhy [Yahushua]

EARLY BELIEVERS, LIKE PETER, SHA’ULxxxiii AND OTHERS RESPECTED YHWH [YAHUAH] AND [YHWV YAHUSHUA] AS THE ONE AND SAME DEITY

“Shimʽon Kĕpha, a servant and emissary of [vwhy Messiah, to those who have obtained a belief as precious as ours by the righteousness of our Elohim and Saviour [vwhy Messiah: Favour and peace be increased to you in the knowledge of Elohim and of [vwhy our Master, as His Mighty-like power has given to us all we need for life and reverence, through the knowledge of Him who called us to esteem and uprightness. Through these there have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that through these you might be partakers of the Mighty-like nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world, caused by lust.” (2 Kepha [Peter] 1:1-4 The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

“For I myself could have wished to be banished from Messiah for the sake of my brothers, my relatives according to the flesh, who are Yisra’ĕlites, whose is the adoption, and the esteem, and the covenants, and the giving of the Torah, and the worship, and the promises, whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Messiah according to the flesh, who is over all, Elohim-blessed forever. Amĕn. However, it is not as though the word of Elohim has failed. For they are not all Yisra’ĕl who are of Yisra’ĕl, neither are they all children because they are the seed of Aḇraham, but, ‘In Yitsḥaq your seed shall be called.’ That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of Elohim, but the children of the promise are reckoned as the seed.” (Romans 9:3-8 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

Note: It would be a better translation to say, “from whom is the Messiah according to the flesh, who is over all, Elohim, blessed for ever.” See endnote.xxxiv It will be noticed that this gifted once Orthodox Pharisee rav’s estimation of Yahushua as being supreme divinity is consistent throughout his writings. “Sha’ul, an emissary of [YHWV Messiah……in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, who is the likeness of the invisible Elohim, the first-born of all creation.xxxv Because in Him were created all that are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities or authorities – all have been created through Him and for Him. And He is before all, and in Him all hold together. And He is the Head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that He might become the One who is first in all. Because in Him all the completeness was well pleased to dwell, and through Him to completely restore to favour all unto Himself, whether on earth or in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of His ” (Colossians 1:1, 14-20 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

“Because in Him dwells all the completeness of the Mightiness bodily, and you have been made complete in Him, who is the Head of all principality and authority. In Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Messiah, having been buried with Him in immersion, in which you also were raised with Him through the belief in the working of Elohim, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,xxxvi having blotted out the certificate of debt against us – by the dogmas – which stood against us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the stake. Having stripped the principalities and the authorities, He made a public display of them, having prevailed over them in it. Let no one therefore judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a festival or a new moon or Sabbaths – which are a shadow of what is to come – but the Body of the Messiah.” (Colossians 2:9-17 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine); However a better translation would be: “For in him dwells all the fullness of the ΘΕΌΤΗS [Theotes=Divinity]xxxvii bodily” (Colossians 2:9).

“Looking for the blessed expectation and esteemed appearance of the great Elohim and our Saviour [YHWV Messiah…” (Titus 2:13 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

“For, let this mind be in you which was also in Messiah [vwhy, who, being in the formxxxviii of Elohim, did not regard equality with Elohim a matter to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, and came to be in the likeness of men. And having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake.xxxix Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name, that at the Name of [vwhy every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and every tongue should confess that [vwhy Messiah is Master, to the esteem of Elohim the Father.” (Philippians 2:5-11 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

Note: Obviously in order to contain the fullness of ΘΕΌΤΗS [Theotes=Divinity], like an empty vessel being filled with a liquid, the content of the fuller vessel has first to be decanted. Yahushua was not so much as sent forth by His Father as He was emptied from His Paternal Source. Note carefully the following grammatical construction of the (understood) nominative pronoun (He) in the once Orthodox Pharisee rav’s writing:“(He), that is Yahushua, being in the form of Yahueh, He emptied Himself” (Philippians 2:7).

Therefore, by logical conclusion: YHWH [Yahueh] = [YHWV [Yahushua]

THE MASORETIC MISSPOINTING OF HEBREW NAMES

It is interesting to note that in the ancient (pre-Masoretic) cuneiform Texts why is written [Yahu], whereas the later “pointed” Texts (Masoretic) write the ancient Yahu-a [as Yehu], the ancient Yahu-khazi [as Yehoahaz] and the ancient Khazaqi-yahu [as Hezekiah]. (A. H. Sayce in “Higher Criticism” notes on p. 87).This exciting discovery throws ancient illumination on the correct spelling and “unpointed” phonetics of Yahueh in rather than Yehovah and of Yahushua rather than Yehoshua. This discovery automatically serves to rectify all Masoretic “miss-pointed” YHW [yahu] prefix names

TABLE 1: HOW HIS TRUE HEBREW NAME [vwhy [YAHUSHUA] DEVOLVED INTO THE SEPTUAGINT

(LXX) KOINE NAME “IHSOUS”, THE LATIN NAME “IESVS” AND THE LATE MODERN ENGLISH NAME “JESUS”xl

LANGUAGE TRANSLITERATION

DATES GENERAL COMMENTS

HEBREW, the language of Mosheh.xli Yahushua, written as [YHWV was also typically foretold of the ultimate  Ha Mashiachxlii by the prophet Zakaryahxliii YAHUSHUA [YHWV 1250 BCE Hebrew TORAH

The prefix YHW [Yahu] in [YHWV [Yahushua] is also the prefix in YHWH [Yahuah], the Father’s Personal Name, demonstrating their intimate bosom unity. But why [Yahu] also occurs hidden as a prefix in Masoretic Text “pointed” names (but openly in Masoretic Text name suffixes)

2 KOINE. After the city-states lost their independence in the 4th century BCE their dialects developed into Koine, the language of Hellenistic Greece and of the NT IHSOUS / IHSOUSxliv  285 BCEKoine LXX (Septuagint)

(1) The Hebrew y [Yud] became a Koine “I” (2) h [Heh] became a Koine “H”

(3) w [Vav] was dropped (4) v [Shin] became a Koine “S” (5) [ [Ayin] became a Koine diphthong “OU” (6) A final Koine “S” was added (for the masculine ending)

3 Ecclesiastical LATIN. Jerome, translator of the Vulgate, like the Greek Church Fathers, was an antisemitic. He called the Jews “accursed by God” xlv IESVS 405 CE The Latin VULGATE (translated from Hebrew)

(1) The Hebrew y [ [Yud] became a Latin “I” (2) h [Heh] became a Latin “E” (3) w [Vav] was dropped (4) v [Shin] became a Latin “S” (5) [ [Ayin] became a Latin “V” (6) A final Latin “S” was added (for the masculine nominative ending)

4 OLD ENGLISH (Anglo-Saxon)

HAELEND 500-1050 CE Old English did not have a letter ”J” but “Iesus” was not used in OE but was rendered by “Haelend” (meaning Saviour)

5 MIDDLE ENGLISH Abbreviated forms IHU, IHUS, IHS 1050-1550 CE Middle English did not have a letter “J” but the name almost always had the abbreviated forms [Apparently abbreviated from the prefix IHU, IHUS, IHS in the Koine name IHSOUS]

6 EARLY MODERN ENGLISH KJV translation in 1611 CE [like Latin, articulation: “yesus”]

IESUS 1550-1700 CE The KJV of 1611 CE

Early Modern English “Iesus” was imported from the Latin “Iesvs” with no “J”

7 LATE MODERN ENGLISH JESUS 1700 CE- The Latin “I” developed a “tail” evolving into a “J”. Hence the name “Jesus” is a 300-year old textual corruption of the Early Modern English “Iesus”

It is abundantly clear that the witness of Yahushua was as to His personal manifestation as Yahueh Himself, not as a second person of a theoretical so-called “trinity” of divinities in a “Triune Godhead.” The sacred name of Yahuah Incarnate, [YHWV [Yahushua], had already been given to Him in olden times. The prefix why [Yahu] in [YHWV [Yahushua] is also the prefix in hwhy His heavenly Personal name thus demonstrating their bosom unity. Zakaryah (6:11-13), typically foretold 2500 years ago the Name [YHWV [Yahushua], letter-for-letter, of the future Davidic Messiah-King. His name [vwhy [Yahushua] is mentioned 222 times in the Tanak more especially in the Torah where the name refers primarily to Joshua son of Nun, e.g., Shemoth 17:9; 24:13; 32:17; 33:11; Bamidbar 13:16; 27:18 and also typically of xyvm [Mashiach=Messiah] in Devarim 18:15-19. This “embodiment” of the Name hwhy into [vwhy and vice versa is a type of word picture of the physical manifestation [Incarnation] of the Father in the Person of the Son as Redeemerxlvi of dispersed Yisra’el. The divine significance of His Name has been frequently highlighted in Scripture:

“Blessed is He that comes in the Name of YHWH [Yahueh]” (Mattithyahu 23:39).

“There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12b).

Therefore, by logical conclusion: YHWH [Yahueh] = [YHWV [Yahushua]

THE DIFFERECE BETWEEN THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES AND THE FANCIFUL RABBINIC EXPECTATIONS OF THE MESSIAH

The following list, although including some of these Rabbinic passages, will however prove the infinite differences between the majority of the fanciful and unfulfilled Rabbinic expectations and picture presented of Mashiachxlvii, and historically actualized in Him in the Hebrew year 3790 (30 CE)xlviii

The following list of 136 prophecies does not contain all the passages in the Tanak applied to Mashiach or to Messianic times in the ancient Jewish writings. Such passages amounted in all to as many as 456 and may be downloaded from the websitexlix as quoted therein from the famous work, “The Life and Times of Jesusl (sic) the Messiah” by Dr Alfred Edersheim, 1883. The following list (see Table 2), although including some of these Rabbinic passages, will however prove the infinite differences between the majority of the fanciful and unfulfilled Rabbinic expectations and picture presented of Mashiach, and historically actualized in Him in the Hebrew year 3790 (30 CE), in the vdh tyrb [Bryth Chadash=New Covenant, New Testament Scriptures]. This important fact demonstrates that the Messianic ideas realized in [vwhy [Yahushua] could not have had their origin in the rabbinic views current in 1st century times.

IN PRE-MESSIANIC ENOCH AND ZAKARYAH THE SECOND COMING REFERS TO THE COMING OF YHWH [YAHUAH]

“And Hanok, (Enoch 1:9) the seventh from Adam, also prophesied of these, saying, ‘See, hwhy comes with His myriads of set-apart ones, to execute judgment on all, to punish all who are wicked among them concerning all their wicked works which they have committed in a wicked way, and concerning all the harsh words which wicked sinners have spoken against Him.” (Jude 1:14, 15 – The Scriptures 1998)

“And YHWH shall go forth, and He shall fight against those gentiles, as He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives, which faces Yerushalayim on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, a very great valley, and half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south. And you shall flee to the valley of My mountain – for the valley of the mountains reaches to Atsal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziyah sovereign of Yehuḏah. And YHWH my Elohim shall come – all the set-apart ones with You. And in that day it shall be: there is no light, it is dark. And it shall be one day which is known to hwhy, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light. And in that day it shall be that living waters flow from Yerushalayim, half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea, in summer as well as in winter. And YHWH shall be Sovereign over all the earth1. In that day there shall be one hwhy, and His Name one. (Zakaryah 14:3-9 – The Scriptures 1998)

BUT THE MESSIANIC NEW COVENANT SCRIPTURES ATTEST DOUBLY TO HIS DEITY BY CONFIRMING THAT THE SECOND COMING REFERS TO THE COMING OF [YHWV [YAHUSHUA]

“And the Master make you increase and overflow in love to each other and to all, as we also do to you, to establish your hearts blameless in set-apartness before our Elohim and Father at the coming of our Master [YHWV Messiah with all His set-apart ones!” (1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 – The Scriptures 1998)

HOW EXACTLY IS ONE SAVED?

“That if you confess with your mouth the Master [YHWV and believe in your heart that Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, and so is saved. Because the Scripture says, “Whoever puts his trust in Him shall not be put to shame.” (Romans 10:9-11 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine) “For everyone who calls on the Name of YHWH shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO BE SAVED?

“And this is the witness: that Elohim has given us everlasting life, and this life is in His Son. He who possesses the Son possesses life, he who does not possess the Son of Elohim does not possess life.” (1 John 5:11-12 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

“[YHWV said to him, ‘I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If youhad known Me, you would have known My Father too. From now on you know Him, and have seen.’ Philip said to Him, ‘Master, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.’ [YHWV said to him, ‘Have I been with you so long, and you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how do you say, ‘Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak from Myself. But the Father who stays in Me does His works.’ (John 14:6-10 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

“And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heaven given among men by which we need to be saved.” (Acts 4:12 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

CAN I KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT I AM SAVED?

“I have written this to you who believe in the Name of the Son of Elohim, so that you know that you possess everlasting life, and so that you believe in the Name of the Son of Elohim.” (1 John 5:13 – The Scriptures 1998, emphasis mine)

iThe prefix YHW [Yahu] in [YHWV [Yahushua] is also the prefix in YHWH [Yahuah], demonstrating their bosom unity. YHWH [Yahuah] SEC #3068 occurs more than 6500 times in the Tanak (Old Testament) where the LXX has KURIOS [Kurios], the Vulgate Dominvs and KJV has LORD.

The verb form used in Shemoth [Exodus] 3:14 “I am who I am” is hyha [ehyeh=I am], the imperfect, first person common singular, of the verb hyh [haya=to be]. It forms an excellent paronomasia (a play upon words) with the Name. So when YHWH used the verb (in Shemoth 3:14) to express his name, he used this form saying, “I am.” When his people refer to him as YHWH [Yahuah], this is the third person masculine singular form of the same verb [Net Bible notes]. YHWH [Yahueh] the true sacred Name of the Creator that He revealed to Mosheh. Also known as “The Tetragrammaton”, consists of the Hebrew consonants YHWH {Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh}

ii Refer Devarim [Deuteronomy] 17:6; 19:15; John 8:17; I Timothy 5:19

iii The Pre-Messianic Hebrew Scriptures [Torah (Instructions), Nevi’im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings)] See Luke 24:44

ivIn other words they shall be taught of Yahueh by coming to Yahushua for Yahushua is Yahueh

v YHWH [Yahuah] is the Old Testament name of [YHWV [Yahushua] but do the majority of His people know this? The Jewish people only know Him as “HaShem” [the Name] and the Christian people by the false names of “Jesus”, “Christ”, “LORD” and “God”. His true name [YHWV [Yahushua] means Yahuah-Saviour. Yahushua said “Moses wrote about Me”!

viYou have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls: Seeing that only Yisra’el (both Houses) “were continually straying like sheep”, it follows that only Yisra’el was in the unique situation to be said of her “but now EPISTREFW [you have returned=a LXX word] to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls” (1 Peter 2:25). Gentiles, per se, do not “return”. The verb could only apply to Efrayim-Yisra’el who went astray before their captivity and are now returning. Refer also to Devarim 30 where the word bwv [shub=return=LXX EPISTREFW] is used as applicable to Yisra’el. Peter’s use of the words, “you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls” implies that there is a dormant seed programmed at the time of the divine election of Yisra’el within the heart and consciousness of every “pilgrim” child of Abraham, Yitschaq and Yaqob that merely requires awakening by reprogramming and carries a potential of return viiThat is the “other” sheep of the scattered House of Israel fold

viiiThat is the “this” fold of the domestic House of Yahudah fold

ixNote well, the name [YHWV [Yahushua] has universal pre-eminance, but His people have forgotten His name!

xNote that His O.T. and His N.T. names, YHWH [Yahuah] and [YHWH [Yahushua], are used here interchangably for Yahushua is Yahuah

xi See my Table 1

xii From Christos – which is from the Koine Greek for the Hebrew Mashiach

xiii[vwhy [Yahushua SEC #H3091] is mentioned 222 times in the Tanak [the Hebrew Scriptures] and more especially in the Torah where the name refers primarily to “Joshua” son of Nun, e.g., Shemoth 17:9; 24:13; 32:17; 33:11; Bamidbar 13:16; 27:18; and also typically of HaMashiach in Devarim 18:15-19. And the prefix why [Yahu] in [vwhy [Yahushua] is also the prefix in hwhy [Yahueh], the Father’s Personal Name, demonstrating their intimate bosom unity. Furthermore, the Prophet Zakaryah (Zakaryah 6:11-13) spelled His Name out as such 2500 years ago, more than two centuries before the Hebrew Tanak was translated into the Koine Septuagint in 285 BCE xiv xyvmh [HaMashiach] is the Hebrew for “the Messiah”

xv Interpreter’s Bible: Note on Matthew 1:21. Moreover, the play on words is not possible in Koine, because the Koine name IHSOUS [Ihsous], pronounced “ee-ay-souce”, does not carry any hint whatsoever of Saviour, salvation nor of save of which the Koine root verb is SWZW [sodzo=save] {spelled: sigma-omega-zeta-omega} SEC #G4982. In contradistinction [vwhy, [Yahushua], pronounced “yashuah”, means primarily Saviour, or Yahueh is salvation or Yahueh saves or Yahueh is Saviour. This fact alone disqualifies the name IHSOUS xvi According to Wikipedia the Hebrew year 3757-3758 corresponded with the traditional proleptic Gregorian-Julian calendar date of 4 BC.

The traditional proleptic Gregorian-Julian calendars [as in the case with the Hebrew Calendar] do not have a year 0 at the BCE/CE junction and instead use the ordinal numbers 1, 2, 3 – both for years CE and BCE. Thus the traditional time line is 3 BCE, 2 BCE, 1 BCE, CE 1, and CE 2 and CE 3; so the arithmetic need not be interrupted for the countdown of 476 yrs BCE to run concurrently with the CE years xvii The year 3790 was unique because the days 10th and 14th Nisan fell on:

[1] A 7th day Shabbath HaGadol followed by,

[2] A Wednesday Erev Pesach,

[3] A Thursday Shabbath Pesach,

[4] Distinctly allowing for 3 full days and 3 full nights in the tomb and,

[5] Followed by [vwhy [Yahushua]’s 7th day Shabbath Havdalah Resurrection

For the Hebrew year refer to the Aishluach calendar: http://www.aish.com/jl/rg/48970511.html 10th Nisan is the 173880th day (476 years) from Nisan 3314 [476+3314=3790] that xyvm [Mashiach=Messiah] the dgn [Nagid=Prince] was both “manifested as Prince” and then “cut off” between this 10th Nisan and 14th Nisan 3790 within the same trmvm [Mishmereth=Preservation of the Perfect Pesach Lamb] 5 days. (Shemoth 12:3-8)

xviii The Decree by the Persian King, Artaxerxes 1 Longimanus (foreseen in Daniel 9:25, 26a, fulfilled in Nechemyah 1:1-4; 2:1-8), during the month Nisan in the 20th year of his reign (2:1), issued to Nechemyah (2:8) circa 445 BCE (in Solar yrs). Refer the Zodhiates Hebrew-Greek Key Study Bible, Introduction to Ezra Nechemyah and Daniel with Notes pages 625, 639, 1072, and 1090. This was the Decree “to restore and rebuild Yerushalayim” by Artaxerxes 1 Longimanus, resulting in the return of the 3rd group of exiles from Babylon (Nechemyah 2:1, 9), as distinguished from former Decrees to rebuild the Temple [Artaxerxes 1 Longimanus in 458-457 BCE (Ezra 7:12-26) and Cyrus in 538 BCE, 93 years before] (Ezra 1:2-4). Nisan is the month of the Pesach Festival ordained by hwhy [Yahueh] for all Yisra’el in Shemoth 12:2-28. This Pesach in the Hebrew year 3314 plus the 476 years to run to Mashiach the Prince brings us “spot-on” to Pesach in the Hebrew year 3790 [3314+476=3790] and is 69 Lunar [bv [shabua] or (69x7x360)=(173 880) days

xx Me … Him – The change of person is due to Yahueh-Mashiach speaking in His own person first, then the prophet speaking of Him. [Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary]

xxi The Hebrew term, rwkb [firstborn SEC #H1060], translated usually in the LXX by ΠΡΩΤΌΤΟΚΟS, has unmistakable Messianic overtones as the use of the Greek term in the NT to describe Yahushua makes clear (cf. Col 1:15, 18). Thus, the idea of Yahueh being pierced sets the stage for the fatal wounding of Yahushua, the Messiah and the Son of Elohim [cf. John 19:37]. Note that some English translations supply “son” from the context (e.g., NIV, TEV, NLT)

xxii “It was the day of Preparation and the Shabbath was beginning. The women who had accompanied [vwhy [Yahushua] from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was laid in it” (Luke 23:53, 54). [The Church has failed to see that Pesach (on the following day, “Thursday”) was a “High” Shabbath and not the normal 7th day Shabbath; the day known to us as “Good Friday” is, as in the case of “Sunday,” a Supersessionist invention of the antisemitic Roman Church

xxiii The year 3790 fell within range of the most recent hjmv tnv [Shnat Shmitah=Year of Release, Sabbatical Year 3787]: It is truly amazing that Yahushua’s final year fell within a 45-month range of the most recent hjmv tnv [Shnat Shmitah=Year of Release, Sabbatical Year] on 10th Tishrei [Yom Kippur] 3787 (Monday, 29th September 26 CE) and was preceded by the Shabbath Shuva [Sabbath of Return]. Yahushua was “about” 30 years old (Luke 3:23) at this time and it is probable that the Scripture passage He read was chosen to synchronize with the hjmv tnv [Shnat Shmitah] (Yeshayahu 61:1, 2a, Luke 4:16-22). Thus the commencement of His ministry at Rosh HaShanah in the year 3787 would place the ministry of [vwhy [Yahushua] as occurring within a historical time-frame to synchronize with the terminus ad quem of the final 69th week of Daniel 9:24-27 within which the unique Pesach-HaMatzah week would fall xxiv Shiloh is an epithet for the Messiah

xxv There are two Houses of Yisrael: consisting of 12 tribes – separated into two Houses: (1) 10-tribed Efrayim of the north made captive to Assyria in circa 722 BCE and (2) 2-tribed Yehudah of the south made captive to Babylon in circa 586 BCE

xliv The origin of the spurious morphology – a gigantic leap from [vwhy [pronounced “yashuah” = salvation] to IHSOUS [pronounced “ee-aysouce”], in a wholesale disregard for Hebrew phonetics. Notice that the Koine name does not begin with the letter “J” notwithstanding that the “I” looks something like a nascent “J” (with a growing “tail”). Moreover, the Koine name contains no hint of the word “salvation”

Neither Hebrew, nor Greek, nor Latin, nor Early Modern English had a letter “J” in their alphabets li In the various types of New Covenant teaching Mashiach’s death is presented: (1) As the Covenant Sacrifice (Mark 14:24 parallel Mattithyahu 26:28 parallel Luke 22:20; Ibrim 9:15-22); (2) As the Sin Offering (Romans 8:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ibrim 13:11; 1 Kepha 3:18); (3) As the Offering of the Pesach Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7); (4) As the Sacrifice of the Day of Atonement (Ibrim 2:17; 9:12 ff) lii By the order of sacrifices, from Vayiqra 8 & 9, it seems that: (1) hafj [Chattah=The Sin Offering] occupies the most important place (Vayiqra 8:2); (2) hlwu [Olah=The Burnt Offering] comes next (Vayiqra 8:18), and (3) ~lv [Shelem=The Meat (Meal) Offering or Peace Offering] comes last of all (Vayiqra 9:4). Atonement was expressed in the Sin Offering; then the offerer could in the Burnt Offering offer himself accepted as a sweet savour (Tehilim 51:19) ascending to Yahueh; in virtue of this acceptance He enjoyed communion with Yahuah and with His people in the Peace Offering liii Although the Synagogue held the doctrine of the vicariousness and atoning character of sacrifice, no mention occurs in Rabbinic expectations of Mashiach in connection with them livMashiach is called “the Lamb” AMNOS [amnos=lamb] twice by the Baptist (Yahuchanan 1:29, 36); once by Philip applied to Mashiach from Yeshayahu 53:7 (Acts 8:32); and once by Peter (1 Kepha 1:19)

lv Mashiach’s atonement was made and accepted in Yahueh’s foreordaining before the foundation of the world (1 Kepha 1:20; Revelation 13:8), so that penitent and believing offerers of sacrifices in the First Covenant were accepted on the ground of it

The events are documented in Luke 19:28-44. This was the Shabbath HaGadol that (a) He rode up to Yerushalayim in fulfillment of Zakaryah 9:9; (b) that He was acknowledged by His disciples thus fulfilling Tehilim 118:22-26; (c) that He accepted their praise (verses 39, 40); (d) but that the official Jewish leadership failed to recognize the “things that belong to their peace” (Luke 19:42) [See “the six things” to quote]: “Seventy weeks are decreed upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, and to forgive iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint the most holy place” (Daniel 9:24). As these six things did not happen in the Hebrew year 3790 (30 CE), because of official unbelief, their fulfillment waits the time that all Yisra’el, including Yehudah, will acknowledge [vwhy [Yahushua] and say, “Blessed is He that comes in the Name of hwhy [Yahueh]” (Mattithyahu 23:39)

John 11 contains probably one of the most powerful stories in all of Scripture – The raising of Lazarus. I remember my mom telling me the time she had gone to see the movie, The Greatest Story Ever Told. She said when it came time for the intermission, no one in the theater got up or even moved. You see, they had just ended the first part of the movie with the raising of Lazarus.
When Messiah uttered the words to Martha, ”I am the resurrection and the life”, creation rumbled and groaned. All of heaven and earth heard that statement that day. It is a statement that rattled the cages of darkness; invoking great fear on the powers of the underworld.
The little village of Beyth Anyah (Bethany) wept that day. Martha and Mary were broken hearted at the loss of their brother, for they loved him very much. The Master loved him also; very deeply. The shortest verse in all of Scripture is ‘Yahushua wept’. The sisters said, if only You had come earlier our brother would not of died. The Yehudim there that day said, ‘isn’t this the one who opened the eyes of the blind, yet could He not prevent him from dying’?
It is only when death occurs that one realizes how much ‘The Resurrection’ is needed. Mary, Martha and all the people there that day, were broken and helpless, with hearts as tender as little children. What was precious to them had died. They longed for comfort and a lifting of the pain and sorrow of the loss they had experienced. All the things in their life, up to that point, didn’t seem to matter anymore, but only to be relieved of the grief they felt.
The process of death is a grieving process. The pain of letting go comes from the helplessness to hold on to what we hold dear any longer. It is only when all the hurt, loss, brokenness and abuse that we have carried all our life, is finally laid down at the feet of Messiah, that He responds with, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he dies, he shall live”.
He weeps for us to believe in the very reason He was sent into the world; to redeem back to His Father those who would come unto Him as helpless little children (His family). He weeps because His only passion is to take that which was dead and bring it to life again. He is the Creator, He cannot help but to create life and to restore something to life that was previously dead. His nature is life.
Death to self is a grieving process. The sin, hang-ups, hurts, hate, rejections and pain we have held onto all our life, often seem to be our only reason to live. ‘I mean, without the baggage I carry in my life, I have no justification to live the way I do any longer… right?’ Letting go of what seems to be one’s own identity most certainly is as painful as losing a loved one. If the sin I hold onto, cling to with all my heart is gone, I no longer am able to control my own life or others in doing what will bring me the greatest happiness.
This morning, at 2:20 AM, I awoke with these words in my spirit:

“when what is most precious to you is dead, only then can He come and raise you to life”

It is not until we decide to die to what seems to be life in our eyes, that we can be raised to what is life in His eyes. The sin, the emotional hang-ups, the blaming of others for our own state of being, must die and be buried, rolling the stone in front of the tomb and portal of our past. It is only when we have laid to rest our most precious life and come to Him in tears and brokenness, with the humility of a child, that He declares, “COME FORTH”. Only the Author of Life, can raise up a new life from one that has been eaten away at, rotting and stinking. Our old decaying life – the past, is now raised to new life – the future. He raises us up out of the ash heap and places our feet upon a rock. The Master of Life raises our life, so others can believe He is the resurrection and the life (Ezekiel 37:6 and John 11:42).
The seed must be buried to bring forth new life – new life must come forth to bear fruit. There is no fruit without first dying. What if the only thing that is keeping someone in your life from believing in the Resurrection and the Life, is your own inability to die and bury your own self. How can other’s see the esteem and resurrection power of the Most High, if we are not putting ourselves into a place to be resurrected? Our own death to self could mean the resurrection life of someone else. This is the true meaning of laying one’s life down for a friend.
Death to self is hard. He never said it would be easy. It grieves to let go of what so ‘easily entangles us’. If right now, what is of precious value in our sight does not become what is of precious value in His sight, we are merely covering up our own ability to see what He sees for our future. If this is the case, we are living our future now and remain forever blinded to what He has called us to be. The time is now to evaluate what we hold onto as precious and dear, and to realize that the only thing that will be left standing is what is precious and dear to the heart of the Father. It’s time we COME FORTH from our slumber and lose the grave clothes of our past. The final call to COME FORTH is soon with the shofar blast of His coming.
Now, more than ever, is the time to bury what He sees as dead; for to continue to carry around the corpses of our past and the sin of our present, is to reject the very reason Messiah entered the world; to resurrect the eternally dead through belief in the eternally Alive. 
“For to me, to live is Messiah, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21)

What does it really mean to have your whole life flow in the river of His Spirit?

This question came in my spirit on the way to work one morning. I was driving on the beautiful, lush green, winding country road on the way to work, listening to Kent Henry’s song “Turn My Heart” from his Purify My Heart album. Here are the words that brought tears to my eyes and filled my spirit with a longing to truly make my whole life flow like pure water flowing in HIS Spirit…
“Turn my heart, O Yah, like rivers of water. 
Turn my heart, Oh Yah, by Your hand. 
Till my whole life flows in the river of Your Spirit. 
And my name brings honor to the Lamb! 
Yah, I surrender to Your work in me. 
I rest my life in Your loving hands.” 
(I replaced ‘God’ with Yah…this is how I sing it too!)
As I sung the song in my car, Abba’s presence filled the car. I never wanted that drive to end. I wish
I could have driven for 100,000 miles worshiping and praising Him!! I knew after this happened, He
wanted me to search the Scriptures and write what He placed in my spirit that day.
The first thing I decided to do was look up all the verses with water, rivers, living water and more in
the Scriptures, then research rivers. Water is mentioned in the Scriptures over 722 times in some
form and is first mentioned in Genesis and last mentioned in Revelation. A river in the mountains is
one of the most pure sources of water on this earth. We all need water to live. In every river, there
are river rocks or stones. The river flows steadily over the stones, cleansing the stones until they are
smooth and soft. This is what Yahuweh does to us and our lives as we lay down our life and will to
Him (surrender), immerse ourselves in the Scriptures, pray, praise and worship Him, and learn to
know Him.
John (Yohanan) 4:10, 13-14 “Yahushua answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of Elohim,
and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have
given you living water.” “Yahushua answered and said to her, “Everyone drinking this water shall
thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water I give him shall certainly never thirst. And the water
that I give him shall become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
John (Yohanan) 7:38 “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow
rivers of living water.” Or in the Scriptures version, “As the Scripture said, out of His innermost shall
flow rivers of living water.”
Psalm (Tehillim) 1:3 “For he shall be as a tree planted by the rivers of water, that yields its fruit in its
season, and whose leaf does not wither, and whatever he does prospers.”
Revelation (Hazon) 22:1 “And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the
Throne of Elohim and of the Lamb.”
Jeremiah (Yirmeyahu) 2:13 and 17:13 “For My people have done two evils: they have forsaken Me,
the fountain of living waters, to hew out for themselves cisterns, cracked cisterns, which do not hold
water.” “O Yahuweh, the expectation of Yisrael, all who forsake You are put to shame. Those who
depart from Me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahuweh, the fountain of
living waters.”
From Wikipedia….”A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, a 
lake, a sea, or another river. A river begins at a source (or more often several sources) and ends at a
mouth, following a path called a course. A river flowing in its channel is a source of energy which
acts on the river channel to change its shape and form. The submerged weight of objects that may
be carried away by a river is proportional to the sixth power of the river flow speed. This formulation
is also sometimes called Airy’s law. Thus, if the speed of flow is doubled, the flow would dislodge
objects with 64 times as much submerged weight.”
In relation to Abba and Yahushua Messiah, They are our source and His Spirit is our energy, power
and authority to proclaim the Word and fulfill the gifts mentioned in the Word! When we are filled
with His Living Water, we are powerful enough to heal, move mountains and more!!! Praise Yah!!!!
With the River flowing through us, everything that is contrary (lodged in us), that restricts the flow of
the River, if allowed, will become ‘dislodged’ from our lives (sin, habits, hang-ups). Only by our will,
do we have the power to allow the River to dislodge the things in our lives that prevent us from
being carried completely (unrestricted) by the flow of the River.
River Rocks are real stones with smooth surfaces created by tumbling around in rivers for many years.
Rocks start out with rough edges and over time smooth out from the force of the water. These
statements about the rocks immediately made me connect us/His people as the rocks and
Yahuweh/Yahushua as the river flowing through us.
In the beginning of our walk with Yahuweh and Yahushua, we are those river rocks…we have many
rough edges relating to things in our life, hurts and baggage from our past, and a nature that does
not line up with His nature (sin, personality traits, impatience, haughty attitudes, etc.). The fruit of
the Spirit does not operate in us yet. We do not have a love for His commandments, and there are
things in our hearts and minds that do not line up with His nature, ways and thinking. Our soul (mind
and emotions) is not lined up with our reborn spirit yet.
As we allow Abba/Spirit and Yahushua to teach and discipline us, we mature and grow in our
relationship with Him/Them and He uses us more. We allow Him to purge us of all things not of Him.
Jeremiah (Yirmeyahu) 17:7-10
“Barach  (Blessed) is the man who trusts in Yahuweh, and whose trust IS Yahuweh. For he shall be like a tree
planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and does not see when heat comes.
And his leaf shall be green, and in the year of drought he is not anxious, nor does he cease from
yielding fruit. The heart is crooked above all, and desperately sick—who shall know it? I, Yahuweh,
search the heart, I try the kidneys (loins), and give every man according to the fruit of his deeds.”
Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 58:11
“Then Yahuweh would guide you continually, and satisfy your being in drought, and strengthen your
bones. And you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”
As we grow and mature in our walk with Yahuweh and Yahushua…He becomes a river in our lives, in
our spirits, He cleanses us, disciplines us, changes us permanently…washes away the bad and fills us
with His nature and we become the smooth stones He intended! The fruit of the Spirit (love, joy,
shalom, longsuffering (patience), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) is
prevalent in our lives and everyone around us see His nature, ways and thinking IN us!! He
circumcises our hearts with a love of His commandments and a love for his Truth. These are gifts
from Him to those He can trust!! The Spirit not only teaches us but guides us in all we do. This is
why Messiah said, “I am the Truth, the Way and the Life” and “I am the Light…” We also become a
light to others as they see His light in us…His living water in us! HalleluYAH and Amein!!
The word ‘Spirit’ (Strong’s #7307) means wind or breath and comes from the Hebrew word ruach
(roo-ach). From a Hebraic perspective, the wind of Elohim is His breath so His breath gives us life but
also directs and leads us on our journey through life. His Spirit leads and guides us in all we do IF we
have laid down our life/self-will to follow Him! Someone said, ”When we live according to OUR “wind”
we follow the path of destruction, but when we live according to Elohim’s “wind” (His Spirit), we
follow the path of life.” This is so true!!!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
“And I will give you a new heart and a new wind (ruach) I will give within you, and I will cause the
heart of stone to be removed from your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will give MY
wind (ruach) within you and I will make you walk in my statutes, and my judgments you will preserve
and you will do them.” Ezekiel 36: 26,27
The ‘Wind’ or ‘breath’ also refers to someone’s character. So, His Spirit is His character! Fear in
Proverbs 9:10 is from the Hebrew noun yirah derived from the verb Yarah”  which means to flow
as water, to rain, to point out as aiming the finger, to instruct, to teach, to lay a  foundationor
“ to flow out of the gut.” What flows out of Yahuweh’s gut? His teachings and character. (See Psalm/Tehillim 1:2 and
Judges/Shophetim 3:10) So, looking at Proverbs 9:10, it would read, The flowings  of Yahuweh is the
beginning of Hochmah (wisdom) and knowledge of the Set-apart One (intimately knowing Him and being filled
with His Spirit) is understanding!
This means Hochmah (wisdom) is also connected to flowing and water. It literally means, “separating the water.”
When we learn Yahuweh’s and Yahushua’s instructions and teachings, nature, character and ways,
and we are filled with the Spirit, He is the river of living water flowing through us, guiding us. He
cleanses us, disciplines us, matures us until we are completely blameless and set apart unto Him.
“Let the set apart be more set apart. (Revelation / Hazon 22:11)” He gives us more understanding
(the ability to separate what is good from what is bad…spiritual discernment)! This is Hochmah (wisdom)!
We also take on His nature, ways, character and He speaks to us through His Spirit to ours (gut/loins
area). Last, when we are truly saved…truly born again by experiencing a true new birth through HIS
cleansing us as mentioned above and proven by the fruit in our lives, His Spirit flows through us and
allows us to witness to others. Others see the difference…and He gives us the words to share with others!!
So when we sing or pray for Him to turn our hearts like a river of water, we are asking Him to purify us,
cleanse us of all iniquity/sin and anything not pleasing to Him, make us blameless before Him, and make
our hearts be circumcised with a love for His commandments and a love for the Truth.
When we surrender our will to Him and ask for our whole innermost being to flow in the river of His
Spirit, we are asking for Him to keep smoothing out our rough edges and remove all that is not of
Him until we are truly set-apart unto Him and are true witnesses and lights to others in His …
we are asking to be led completely by the Spirit and for Him to rule completely over everything in our lives!!
you want to be in His presence all the time, you want to read His Word, you want to be alone with Him in
prayer, and you want to sing praise, worship and rejoice in Him and to Him all the time!! Be like the hart/deer
as the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for you, O Elohim. My soul thirsts for Elohim,
for the living Yahuweh…”
Berâchot, joy and shalom!
In His love, Rivkah
PS: Listen to Kent Henry’s Purify My Heart album…become more like Him! I close with the lyrics of
“Living Water” by Michelle Benedek (I found this song as I was finishing this study):
“Like a river running through my heart 
Your Word is the water that brings my soul new life 
My soul cries out for more of You, my soul cries out for You 
My heart it thirsts for more of You, my heart it thirsts for You 
So I lift my song to You, oh Father 
For only You I live 
My heart, it thirsts for living water 
That only You can give 
Like a fountain always breaking out 
My heart is a river of praise and joyous shouts 
My soul cries out for more of You, my soul cries out for You 
My heart it thirsts for more of You, my heart it thirsts for You 
Living water, rising river 
Breaking forth from the throne of Elohim 
Dance and sing at the edge of the water 
The deep is calling 
The deep is calling (The deep is calling) 
I’m jumping in” 
(I replaced ‘God’ with Elohim)

Exploring The Authority Of Yahushua Messiah’s Biblical Calendar, In His High Priesthood Order Of Melchizedek (And Its Implications For Identifying The Appointed Times In 2014) by Rob@inthatday.net

click this link for PDF reading: YahushuaMelchizedekCalendar

 This paper presents a synopsis of principles from my research and study over many years concerning the identification of the true biblical calendar and which I trust will help others in their studies and understanding of this subject and subsequently to identify the annual biblical calendar in the emunah firm belief of Yahushua Messiah’s demonstration.

 

The major statement of this paper is that, given the full biblical and historical evidence now available to us it is Yahushua Messiah   ALONE who only has the biblical authority over the biblical worship calendar today, through His post-resurrection office as High Priest of the Melchizdek order.   No-one else has any biblical authority to set or proclaim the biblical calendar of YHVH, regardless of what religious orthodoxies they are. His behavioural example is thus highly significant.

 

The implications of understanding exactly who carries the true Divine authority over the biblical calendar today (as outlined by Moses in Leviticus 23) are both radical and profound to any who are sincerely concerned and called to prepare for the redemption and return of YHVH’s trustworthy remnant elect in the last days.

Take care in the firm belief of Yahushua Messiah

Below is the conversation responded  from Rob @ inthatday.net:
Hi Yahn El,
1. This is the difficulty – that the biblical Sabbath does not line up neatly with the Gregorian (Roman) Saturday – we find that HillelII changed the Rabbinic calendar in the early 300 CE it is not recorded what he did because his changes were kept secret and no one else worked with him on this task – but that he changed the calendar is acknowledged by Judaism and He did fix it  to make the Judaism calendar work in the roman exile – but I am now seeing is that he single handily must have been the one to change the Sabbath in the Rabbinic calendar to re-align with the Roman Saturday to
1) reduce persecution of the rabbinic Jews in the roman empire and
2) because of it assisting rabbinic Jewish to participate in the economy of the roman empire. 
Soon thereafter we see Emperor Constantine (365 CE) changing the Christian “Sabbath” to occur on the Roman Sunday.
We find that YHVH declared to Moses that he would “hide his face” from Israel when it would be in the exile – by this I understand he would hide His festivals and calendar because Israel had corrupted them.  Moses and the prophets confirmed this because they foretold that when these matters are brought to the last generation of redeemed Israel – the causes of the Baruch/ ble_sings and the curse (and to keep the Torah Sabbath and true appointed times is truly a Berakah /ble_sings – but when we cannot see them because we are in exile; it is a curse), then the remnant would mourn for YHVH to bring us home to be able to keep his festivals – and Zephaniah prophesied that it is those who mourn for YHVH’s worship times that YHVH will bring back to His covenant land in the last days
(see Zeph 3: 18  I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.)
So when we find the Sabbath does not fit our ‘Egypt” calendar of the Saturday then we have a difficulty because we have to work on His days – so we will cry out for YHVH to send His Redeemer to set us free from Egypt and bring us home once again – it becomes a heart cry of true repentance for those who are truly seeking His face and His prophetic word and the end of His judgements of Redeemed Israel.  SO I am convinced that He (YHVH) has hidden his calendar and is now revealing this so that we can see that we are in “the pig sty” – in Egypt/ in Babylon and only He can break us out of that Bozrah prison house and bring us home – so the revealing of the biblical Sabbath not fitting the Gregorian week as we have been told by religion for nearly 2000 years is in fact proving YHVH’s prophetic declarations to the last generation.  HalleluYah!
2. . According to my astronomical simulation software (Starry Night Pro) The equinox occurred in 30CE at 12.48 am (Jerusalem time) on 23rd March (Julian calendar not Gregorian) marking Day 1 Month 1. Note from the astronomic simulation that the moon was 0.12 days old and that would mean the Rabbis would have marked their Day 1 month 1 beginning on the evening of the 24th – this gives one day difference between the 14 day  count to Passover from the equinox calendar as opposed to the 14 day count to Passover from the conjunctive moon calendar (Rabbinic).
Jersualem 30 CE VE and moon
3. What is confusing you I think is thinking the Gregorian calendar is stable and how the days work out, when the Roman calendar was at that time a Julian formula  and not the Gregorian formula that we have today – so there is a change in  the Roman days that would have been on the Roman calendar in those days. However if you discard the Roman calendar which is an added confusion and do a simple count of days to day 14 you will find that Yahushua’s crucifixion fell on the 4th day of the week given a 14 day count from the conjunctive moon day declaration as the counting of days on the equinox calendar works out the same to Passover/unleavened bread every year if one is working from the equinox, as per my diagram in the last article.

4.  Your second question is that the website you refer to is using the equilux as marking day 1 of month 1 and not the equinox. The equilux is something quite different and is not accurately measurable because it is dependant on the latitude position. They use this because of their interpretation of Enoch – but as I discussed in my article this is inaccurate because Enoch was a pre-flood calendar and the equator at the time of pre-flood was in proximity of the covenant land whereas to day it is moved because the earth has been moved some 23 degrees on its axis. You need to understand the physics of the difference between the equinox and the equilux.
The website you refer to simply reads that in Enoch he said the equal day equal night was occurring at beginning of the year when the sun completed its circuit (the equinox).  The astronomical reality is that the only place where the equinox and the equilux coincide is when one is at the equator – this is not the case for the covenant land today proving that the earth has been tilted on its axis because of the flood because at Jerusalem today the equilux occurs some 4 days earlier than the equinox. I have discussed this in my last article.  However the people who simply interpret the Enoch calendar in that way will not acknowledge that the Enoch calendar is a preflood calendar where the earth was not in the same orbit (they argue that there is only 364 days (when in creation reality there is 365.25 days) in the year today – by theological arguing that the Day of Atonement is not a day to be included in the calendar – it is nonsensical – but they have to do something theological like that because the tilt of the earth was not in the same position pre-flood as it is today and the earth’s orbit around the sun takes 365.25 days today (as opposed to 364 days pre-flood).
5. I do not keep the Enoch calendar that has been promoted in the Internet , but Yahushua’s calendar based which we can understand from the gospels account, based on the precepts of Enoch and the Zadok’s, but recognising the astronomical changes that have occurred.
6. Dear YahnEl,
Some advocate the equilux (the estimated day of equal day and equal night hours) as it occurs in Jerusalem as constituting Day 1 of the biblical calendar.
“Equilux Or Equinox? How Creation’s Testimony Debunks The Jerusalem Equilux As The Beginning Of The Biblical Year.” This article explores why they make such an assertion and how a calendar anchored on the equilux does not concur with the Apostolic testimonial record of the historical timing of the events surrounding Yahushua Messiah’s crucifixion, whereas a biblical calendar based on the equinox   as Day 1 of the biblical calendar,   specifically and uniquely does so. If interested, the article may be downloaded from clicking here: EquiluxOrEquinox
7. With The Exiled Zadok’s Historical Formula On The Identification Of The Biblical Sabbath Day Now Revealed, How Is It That Judaism’s Sabbath Occurs Neatly On The Gregorian Saturday? If interested, the article may be downloaded from clicking here: Biblical Sabbath Day Now Revealed
In This Article:
  • The Exiled Zadok testimony of the formula for identifying the biblical Sabbath is as follows:
  • The Rabbinical Calendar in The Talmudic and Post Talmudic Years:
  • No Historical Trace Record Exists Of The Actual Changes Hillel II Made To The Rabbinical Calendar (??)
  • But Is There Circumstantial Evidence?
  • Why Did The Rabbinic Pharisees Focus on Procuring A Charge Of Blasphemy Against Yahushua, Above Any Other Interpreted Breach Of The Law?
  • When The Redeemed “Messianics” Left Judea in 68CE , Then The Rabbinics Would Have Increased Their Hegemony Over Remaining Judeans
  • The Effect of Cumulative Error in the Rabbinical Calendar’s Measurement of Time
  • So What Of The “Hidden” Work That Hillel II Actually Carried Out On Judaism’s Religious Calendar?
Tikvah that this helps
