WHO ARE THE SEALED ONES? WHO QUALIFY TO BE SEALED?

“These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto Elohiym and to the Lamb.” Rev.14:4

In the book of revelation there is a sealing going on; also in Ezekiel there is a sealing. The question then is who are going to be sealed?

In chapter seven of revelation we are told: “And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Elohiym: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Elohiym in their foreheads.” Rev.7:2, 3. Elohiym creates a conducive atmosphere so that the sealing goes on undisturbed, which means the sealing takes place at a time pregnant with strife, but the strife is stayed supernaturally till the servants of Elohiym are sealed. The sealed number 144000. There is great debate among bible scholars and churches as to whether this is actual or symbolic. I am not going into that in this article. I will answer who are the sealed or who qualify to be sealed?

The sealed ones are then seen in Chapter 14 with the Lamb on Mount Zion.  They are said, “These are they which were not defiled by women; for they are virgins.” This is a confusing statement if taken literally. That “they are not defiled by women” would mean that they are men, and that they are virgins would mean they are women. The word interpreted virgins is the Greek word Parthenos meaning maiden; an unmarried daughter; a virgin.

The statement must not be taken literally, for it is symbolic. Women symbolise church formations: “I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.” Jer.:2. So it is proper to say that those that are sealed are not associated with a church system. That they are virgins is that their beliefs, doctrines, faith and practices are free from church dogma, but are influenced only by the word of Elohiym, just as their leader Yahushua was while here on earth. Messiah here on earth was not associated with the existing church. The church rejected Him, so will the end time churches reject His end time servants. Those that qualify to be sealed will not be part of a church system and will have pure beliefs, doctrines, faith and practices as revealed in the bible.

Dear reader the sealing message is a present end time message. It is an important message, to all who desire to be saved, therefore I implore you to study it for yourself and understand it, so that you can make yourself sealable.

Please share with me your findings.

May our Heavenly Father who is holy and spirit guide you as you study this important subject.

May our Heavenly Father and His Son Yahushua abide with you always!

WHEN DOES A DAY BEGIN?

There are different opinions as to when a day begins. One opinion is that it begins at midnight, the other at sunset and the other at dawn, another says a twenty four hour period begins at sunset and the twelve hour period begins at dawn. In this article I will answer that question using the bible and nature which is the bible’s illustration book.

To answer that question we must first define what a day is. As I have already said I will use the bible. I believe the bible is inspired and is the word of the Creator so it is the best source of knowledge concerning all creation. The bible says: “And Elohiym called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.” Gen.1: 5. The Creator creates light and He names it day and the darkness He calls it night. This is a very clear statement the period of light is day and the period of darkness is night. Therefore the day would begin when light begins. Again the Creator further creates lights and assigns them tasks: “And Elohiym made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.” Gen. 1:16. This statement further amplifies the day as the period when the greater light, the sun, is ruling. If the sun is in the sky then it is day and when the moon and stars are in the sky then it is night.

The confusion seems to arise from the statement: “And the evening and the morning were the first day.” Gen.1: 5. This is a confusing statement indeed. It would mean that the period from evening to morning is day, which would be a contradiction to what the Creator said is day. As written the understanding of the statement as evening and morning being day is correct, but the problem is that day has already been defined as the period when it is light and when the sun is ruling. If the statement read: “Morning and evening were the first day,” there would be no controversy, that would be in harmony with what the Creator said is day. The statement “And the evening and the morning were…” is repeated at least six times, which establishes the doubt. The offending word is were. Therefore we are going to look at what it is in the original language, Hebrew.

Interpreters when faced with a word that has more than one application must choose the appropriate application based on the context, how it is used in other passages, and also their doctrinal leanings. It is an established belief within Christianity that the Hebrew begin their day at sunset, but is it biblical?

The Hebrew word translated “were” has more than one application. In 1Sam.13:14 and 2 Sam; 7:29, it is applied as continued. In 2Sam.2:10 and 1Ki.16:21 it is applied as followed. It is rendered were in Jos. 10:1, 26 and of course in the creation account. This Hebrew word Hayah has three applications, namely were, continued and followed. Turning to the passage   in Gen. 1: 5. Applying it as were creates confusion as to which is day and which is night. It gives the impression that the day begins in the evening and ends in the morning which is contradicting what the Creator said is day, therefore applying it thus is suspect to say the least. Applying it as continued would create the impression that day continues into the night, this again contradicts what the Creator says is day. It would mean that day is both light and darkness, but the Creator said light is day. As a position on the calendar day and night are one date. The first of the month is both day and night. Day and date don’t mean the same. Day refers to the period of light, when the sun is ruling and date refers to both day and night as a position in the month e.g. the first of the month covers Day and Night. The reading in the passage precludes this application; darkness can’t continue light. The other application is followed; the passage if rendered “evening and morning followed the first day,” would be in harmony with what the Creator said is day. Evening and morning is the period of darkness which is night, meaning night followed the first day. Does night follow day in the natural world? Yes definitely night follows day. Does the sun rule the day? Yes it does. Nature is in harmony with the bible! It seems the interpreters were influenced by their denominational creeds as opposite to context, and how it is used in other passages.

Having defined what is day and shown what the passage should have read, we are ready to answer the question when does the day begin?

From the above the day begins when the sun begins to rule that is at dawn and ends when the sun gives way to the moon and stars that is at dusk. Dusk to dawn is night following the day. If it is preparation day, from dusk to dawn is preparation night, not the Sabbath. This is night before the Sabbath; the Sabbath is to begin at dawn.  In Ne. 13:19 we are told: “And it came to pass, that when the gates of Yerushalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day.” Nehemiah had just rebuild Yerushalem and was reviving the worship of YAHUWAH and the services of the Sanctuary including the proper observance of the Sabbath.  Notice that he says that the gates of Yerushalem had begun to be dark. Things get dark at dusk, as we say in Ndebele “sekunqunda amehlo”, when you cannot see clearly the form and colour of things, the sun would have set. This time he says it was before the Sabbath. If as we believe the Sabbath starts at sunset or dusk, then it would be Sabbath not before the Sabbath.

Yahushua was tried, condemned and crucified in the morning and from the sixth hour of the day till the ninth hour there was darkness in the land. He died in the ninth hour of the day, this corresponds to three o’clock in the afternoon. If the ninth hour is in the afternoon when is the first hour of the day? Logic demands that we count backwards, and this count stops with six o’clock in the morning, meaning it is the beginning of the day, the first hour of the day. If the day began at sunset that would mean Messiah, died at 2 am having been tried after sunset and crucified around 9 pm; now the statement there was darkness from the sixth hour to the 9th hour would be strange, because there is nothing unusual with being dark at that time, it is night.

 The bible says: “Yahushua answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.” Joh.11:9. Yahushua who created and mad everything says there are twelve hours of light in a day. The day was accepted then that it is twelve hours long, and there is light during those hours, which disappears when they end and darkness begins. The commandment to keep the Sabbath therefore means that one must abstain from work during these twelve hours of the Sabbath. There is no biblical injunction to keep the Sabbath from sunset preparation day to sunset Sabbath. The evening to evening applies to the Passover festival which begins at evening on the fourteenth and the Day of Atonement which is kept from the ninth in the evening of the ninth to the evening of the tenth. It does not apply to the weekly Sabbath.

In Matt. 28:1 we read: “In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.” Please note that the passage says “in” not “at”, “in” implies a period and “at” implies a point in time. The passage above would mean the end of the Sabbath is from dusk to dawn and the first day begins at dawn; dusk to dawn following the preparation day, is in the preparation of the Sabbath, before the Sabbath begins at dawn.  So the Sabbath begins at dawn when the preparation ends, and ends at dusk when the end of the Sabbath begins.

Dear reader in this time of sealing, the truth of the Sabbath will play an important part in your salvation. It will mean you are sealed with the seal of Elohiym or not. The proper observance of the proper Sabbath is a sign that we believe that Elohiym is the one that makes us holy (refer Ex. 31:13; Eze. 20:12, 20), and His seal which is His name will be put on the foreheads. “And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.” Rev. 14:1 “and I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Elohiym: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Elohiym in their foreheads.” Rev. 7:2, 3. The seal is the Father’s name. The Sabbath is a sign between us and Elohiym, much as the blood was a sign for the destroying angel to Passover. The Sabbath is a sign for the sealing angel to place the seal.

If your faith and practice is at variance with the above, it will be of eternal value to do your own study and make your own conclusions not based on any denominational creeds, but the bible. The above study is not exhaustive. If your study leads you to a different conclusion than the above, please share with me.

May our Holy and Spiritual Father be with you, keep you and bless you in His Son’s name!

Paul’s letter to the Colossians

Col. 2:13-17

“And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.”

The above passages of scripture have been understood by some that the law had been done away with; all the inhibitions of the Old Testament have been rendered redundant. By some they have been understood to mean that the Sabbath is no longer a requirement for the people of Christ and yet by some they have been understood to mean that the observance of the new moon and yearly Sabbaths have been rendered redundant, by the vicarious death of Messiah. Verse 16 says: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days.

Observe that days is in Italics, meaning it is an added word it is not there in the original, the original would read “…or the Sabbath.” It mentions holyday which is translated from the Greek word heorte meaning festival, feast or holyday; which will render the text as: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath. If we accept that Paul says these things together with food and drink were against us and Christ by his death took them away, then we must disregard all of them that is feast days which include Passover, unleavened bread, Pentecost, trumpets, atonement and booths, and new moon day and Sabbath. To these we must add food and drink. If we accept that Paul is saying they were nailed to the cross then we must not eat or drink or keep the feasts, new moon and Sabbath. I have not met anybody who says he does not eat because it was nailed to the cross, yet I have met those who say they don’t keep the feasts and new moon because they were nailed to the cross, but keep the Sabbath and eat and drink; some say they don’t keep the feasts, new moon and Sabbath, but keep the first day and eat and drink. Please not that Paul mentions food and drink then the yearly feasts, followed by the monthly feast and then the weekly Sabbath. Does Paul really mean what we have been led to believe he means?

These and other passages from Paul are difficult to understand and prone to be misunderstood. Peter was probably alluding to these and others when he said: “And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” 2Pt 3:15,16.

The bible must be read in context of the whole that is from Genesis to Revelation and any passage must be understood in the context of the whole bible, taking a passage only and trying to understand it in isolation will in most cases lead to a wrong understanding.

In the above passages as already mentioned it is understood by others that the requirement to of the law, of keeping  the new moon, the Sabbath and the yearly Sabbaths were against us, therefore were taken away by the death of Messiah on the cross. How these were against us is difficult to see; how can a day of rest be against anybody? How can eating and drinking be against us?

In Genesis Elohiym after creating everything creates man: Adam and Eve they are put in the garden of Eden and allowed to eat every other tree but one tree: “ But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Gen. 2:17. Adam and Eve were given a law the breaking of which meant death. Was that law against them?  To answer that let us imagine a mine field fenced off and a sign saying do not enter minefield; is that against us or for us? If we ignore the notice and breach the fence and enter and are blown up would that be for us? Adam and Eve ignored the notice and breached the fence and ate the tree but were not immediately blown up. Adam lived for 930 years and then he died. It would seem the statement: “for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die;” Was false or something happened to defer the punishment to 930 years later in the case of Adam. The statement is clear Adam and Eve should have died that same day, but they did not because the lambs died in their stead; the death of the lambs represented the vicarious death of Christ on the cross. Did that make the law Adam and Eve had broken redundant? What was taken away by the death of the lambs? Was it the law or the guilty verdict and sentence of death? It was the verdict and death sentence on the offenders Adam and Eve that was taken away by the death of the lambs. The deaths of the lambs fulfilled the requirement of the law of a death sentence on the offenders, in other words it affirmed the law as perpetual.

 

In the new testament is recorded this incident: “And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? Joh. 8:3-5 this they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. Joh 8:6.The accusers were correct concerning the law as given to Moses “If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.” Deut. 22:22 

“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.  (Joh 8:7) And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.  (Joh 8:8) And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.  (Joh 8:9) When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?  (Joh 8:10) She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”  (Joh 8:11). The word translated condemn is  the Greek Katakrino translated also as damn, meaning among others to condemn someone to hell.  The woman deserved to die as the law says, but did not die that day. Was the law against adultery made redundant by Christ or did He as the “Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” Rev. 13:8; satisfy the requirements of the law on behalf of the woman? What Christ did was to give this woman a second chance, as He did to Adam and Eve by taking away the verdict of guilty and sentence of death. These two, verdict and sentence were in these two cases and in subsequent cases involving all of us “as all have sinned”, taken away and nailed to the cross leaving the law intact.

So the passages under consideration Paul cannot be saying the law was taken away, but the verdict and sentence were taken away, by Christ’s death. The requirements of the law for each sinner have been met; the sinner has as Adam, Eve and the woman caught in adultery a second chance.

In each case the devil convinced the sinner that the law was against him or her, it was prohibiting him from experiencing ultimate pleasure.  It was against them and preventing them from being like Elohiym. The devil appearing to them as a serpent able to speak convinced them that he acquired the ability by eating the forbidden fruit, should they eat it they already a higher order of beings would go higher still and be equal with Elohiym; the law has been against them all along.  If as some say, Paul means that the law was against us and had to be taken away, then he would be speaking as the devil, for it is the devil that says the law is against us.

Peter writes “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” 1 Pt.2:24.  We were healed by His stripes and made alive by His death. Paul who is understood by many to mean that the law was taken away says: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Ro.6:1, 2. Paul says we can’t continue sinning so that grace abound, so what is sin? John answers “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” 1 Joh 3:4. By not sinning which Paul is encouraging we would be upholding the law not transgressing it, why is that necessary if the law was taken away?

In conclusion what was taken away by the death of Christ? Daniel tells us: “ And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Dan. 9:27 Daniel is here referring to the work and death of Christ, and says it will bring two things to an end sacrifices and oblation. The word sacrifices is plain enough as a translation of the Hebrew word zebach meaning slaughter of animals for offering. The word oblation is a translation of the Hebrew word minchah meaning a bloodless offering referred in the bible as a meat offering: “And when any will offer a meat offering unto YAHUWAH (the LORD), his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon: “ Lev. 2:1. To these two must be added the guilty verdict and sentence of death, just as they were stayed in Adam’s and the woman’s cases, so are they stayed in each of our cases, because they were nailed to the cross.

The Old Testament which was the only scriptures in the time of Paul and other apostles emphasizes the keeping of the law, testimonies, precepts, statutes and commandments. If Paul was teaching that these should not be kept from which Scriptures was he teaching? Paul like all the apostles was commissioned: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” Amen. Mat 28:19, 20. They were to teach them to observe all things He commanded them; did He command them to disregard the feasts, new moon and Sabbath? Did he command them to disregard the law, commandments, statutes and testimonies? The answer is a definite no! So Paul can’t teach that which he was not commanded to!

What does Paul mean in the passages quoted? This has been a long article; I shall deal with that question in another article.

 

Our Heavenly Father and His Son Yahushua bless you all.

Passover and Easter

The 23rd of March 2021 was the tenth of Abib on the Biblical calendar. In the Old Testament it was the day when the Israelites chose the Passover lamb and kept it up to the 14th Abib when all Israel would slaughter it at evening to begin the Passover festival. The lamb was closely examined to ensure it had no blemish.  The Passover festival is different from the Easter festival. Many if not all Christians celebrate Easter believing that it is Passover .Easter is not Passover and Passover is not Easter, these are two different festivals dedicated  to two different deities and established by two different calendar systems  and celebrated differently too. Easter this year is   from the 2nd April 2021 to the 5th April 2021.

In the new testament the tenth day of Abib was the day of the triumphantly entry into Yahushalem (Jerusalem). The crowd put leaves and garments on the road and shouted “Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” Hosanna is translated as, ‘Oh Save!’ On that day the crowd was declaring that Yahshua had no blemish and was fit to save the world.

Passover festival will begin this year on 14th Abib on the biblical calendar which is the 27th March on the Gregorian calendar.  Easter this year will begin on the 2nd April. I have mentioned the Biblical calendar; is there such a thing in the Bible? Definitely yes! The creation account is based on the Biblical calendar, and it is specifically mentioned in Genesis 1:14 “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:” please note the functions of these lights, primarily they are to divide the day from the night and tell the signs, seasons, days and years. They are a time system that tells the day from the night; tell signs, seasons, days and years. From their function they are a calendar system.

 

They divide the day from the night; and tell the signs, seasons, days and years. Their first mentioned function is plain enough, when the sun is up it is day and when the sun sets the night begins. There is no day that begins at sunset, day ends at sunset and night begins. They tell signs, seasons, days and years. What are signs and seasons? Days and Years are self explanatory, but signs and seasons what are they? In exodus 31:13 the bible says “Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD (YAHUWAH) that doth sanctify you.” And again in Ezekiel we read “Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD (YAHUWAH) that sanctify them… And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD (YAHUWAH) your God (Elohiym).” Eze.20:12, 20. From these three texts we learn that the Sabbath is a sign; therefore the sign is the Sabbath. The Hebrew word translated sign is owth, it is the same word used in all the texts quoted.

 

Signs are Sabbaths, what are seasons? The Hebrew word translated seasons is moed. In the Strong’s Hebrew dictionary it is listed as meaning: appointment, fixed time, festival and feast. It is the same word translated feasts in Leviticus 23:2 “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts (moed) of the LORD (YAHUWAH), which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts (moed).” If you read the whole chapter you will discover those feasts (moed-seasons

We can now paraphrase Gen. 1:14 as “And God (Elohiym) said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for Sabbaths (signs), and for feasts (seasons), and for days, and years: “These lights tell when is the Sabbath and when are the feasts, they tell days and years, therefore they are a calendar system. If we use this calendar system we will know the correct Sabbath days, the correct feast days, the correct days and the correct years. For example today is the 11th Abib 5782 which can be written as 11/01/5782 meaning the eleventh day of the first month of the five thousand seven hundred and eighty second year since creation. On the Gregorian calendar it is 24th march 2021 which is the 24/03/2021, meaning the twenty fourth day of the third month of the two thousand and twenty first year, since the birth of Christ, which completely ignores the period before Christ, it is plain that this date expression is not fully informative. It intimates that time began with Christ’s birth yet time began at creation of heaven and earth.

The Biblical calendar if superimposed on the Gregorian calendar, the Sabbaths will fall on different days of the Gregorian calendar week each month, in other words it floats from day to day in the Gregorian week. Example this month Abib, it is on the Sunday of the Gregorian week and next month Zif, it will be on a Monday of the Gregorian calendar, but is always the seventh on the Biblical calendar and regularly on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of each month. This was established in the creation week. Heaven and earth were created in the beginning meaning the beginning of days, month, and years, which is expressed as 01/01/0001; so the first of the first month of the first year heaven and earth were created. Light was created on the second of the first month of the first year and so forth until man was created on the seventh of the first month of the first year, which ended the work of creation; and the first ever Sabbath was on the eighth of the first month of the first year, meaning the second and subsequent Sabbaths were on the 15th, the 22nd and the 29th.       The last Sabbath of the month on the 29th  can be followed by the new moon day or the 30th  in some months. The new moon day, the first of the month like the Sabbath is a worship day, a feast day “Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” Ps.81:3 “Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD (YAHUWAH) in the Sabbaths and in the new moons.” Ez.46:3. It can be followed by the 30th day which is month end, then by the first of the next month which is new moon day and the Sabbaths on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th , just as in the first month of the first year of creation; and the wise man says “I know that, whatsoever God (Elohiym) doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God (Elohiym) doeth it, that men should fear before him.” Ecc.3:14. The sequence of days and worship days was established at creation it is forever, nothing can be added to or removed from it.

 

From the foregoing it is plain that there are two calendar systems viz. the biblical calendar and the Gregorian calendar; these two are neither compatible nor complementary, they are in conflict. Who are the owners of these calendar systems?  Who owns the biblical calendar? He who set it up: “And God (Elohiym) said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:” according to this text it is Elohiym(God). Who owns the Gregorian calendar? It is named after Pope Gregory, which can mean he owns it or the authority he represents owns it. There are two opposing authorities in the universe Elohiym (God) and Satan (devil). The calendar you use is of the deity you worship. The first angel cries “Saying with a loud voice, Fear God (Elohiym), and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” Rev. 14:7. One way of ensuring you worship Him is by worshipping on the days of worship using His calendar, i.e. on the new moon days, Sabbath days and feast days.

May you solemnly celebrate the Passover, feast of unleavened bread and first fruits day, this year beginning 14/01/5782 to 21/01/5782, which corresponds with the 27/03/2021 to 03/04/2021 on the Gregorian calendar!

Be blessed in Yahshua’s name!

Biblical Proof of Lunar Sabbath: By T D Mkwananzi
This is going to be a long study/ presentation, so I ask you to be patient and persevere. I shall begin exploring the question in Genesis, because I believe that if a doctrine is not first presented or revealed in Genesis it is not biblical. I will begin looking at the first Sabbath after creation. Lunar Sabbaths are always on the 8th 15th 22nd and 29th of each month.
As a background our Heavenly Father uses the Astro-Luni-Solar calendar refer Gen.1:14 “And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:” simply put this text says let them tell the days, months and years, which by application is being a calendar.
Let’s begin; Gen. 1:1 says in the beginning Elohim created heaven and earth, the question is, what is the beginning? It has been suggested by others that it is a long period of time, so that between the creation of heaven and earth and the creation of light there is a big gap. All answers must come from scripture. The beginning suggests that there is an end, and so what the end is, so is the beginning. Gen 2:1, 2 says:” Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.”  The end was a day not a long period of time, so the beginning was a day, not a long period of time. Next question: Of what is the beginning? If one says to you come at the beginning of the month to start work when will you go? It is reasonable to go on the first of the month, in fact it is the only beginning of the month. The same goes for the beginning of the year, it is the first month of the year. So the beginning mentioned in Gen. 1:1 would be the first day of the first month of the first year. We can then read the text as: On the first day of the first month of the first year (01/01/0001) Elohim created heaven and earth!
Is the beginning the same as the first day mentioned in Gen. 1:5? It will come as a surprise to many, that they are not the same day. The beginning is a stand-alone day and it is not counted with the other seven days. The beginning began and ended with creation of heaven and earth which came enveloped in darkness. Then came the events of the first day when light was created; Elohim created light and also named light as day and darkness as night, so making the period/time when light was created the first day or the first light. The beginning had no light therefore cannot be referred to as the first day or first light. The first day would be the period/ time following the beginning i.e. the second day of the first month of the first year (02/01/0001).
What does all this mean? It means that from the beginning of Elohim’s work to the end of Elohim’s work, there is a total of seven time periods of a day’s duration and from the creation of light named day there are six time periods ending on the same time period as the end, which is the seventh time period since the beginning and being the sixth time period since the first day.
 Let us put it in grid format.
01/01/0001 02/01/0001 03/01/0001 04/01/0001 05/01/0001 06/01/0001 07/01/0001 08/01/0001 Beginning First day Second day Third day Fourth day Fifth day End/sixth day Sabbath Heaven earth Light & darkness Firmament  Land seas Sun moon Birds  Animals  Rest  Darkness only Day and night  Plants  Stars  Marine life Man   No light no day First day Second day Third day Fourth day Fifth day Sixth day Seventh day

The beginning of Elohim’s work is on the 01/01/0001 and the end on the 07/01/0001, so Elohim began His work on the 01/01/0001 and ended His work on the 07/01/001 hence “And on the seventh day God ended his work.” The first day is not only the first day of creation but also the first day created. From the first day created to the end of work is six days and on the seventh day created Elohim rested. So from the 01/01/0001 Elohim begins His work and on the 07/01/0001 Elohim ends his work and on the 08/01/0001 which is the seventh created/ counted day, He rests making it the first Sabbath ever! If the 08/01/0001 was a Sabbath it follows that seven days after it on the 15/01/0001 was a Sabbath, so was the 22/01/0001 and the 29/01/0001. The biblical month is determined by the movement of the heavenly luminaries/ lights, the moon in particular. It either has twenty nine or thirty days never less than twenty nine nor over thirty days. The cycle restarts at the beginning of each month. The first of each month is not counted together with the first seven days, but is as the beginning (01/01/0001) a stand-alone day and the second of each month is the first day of each first week of each month. 
During that period i.e. from the 01/01/0001 to the 08/01/0001 He did not only create heaven and earth and all therein but also created the day, week, Sabbath, the month, and the sequence of days and the number of days in each month and He set the moon to determine which month shall have twenty nine or thirty days. When the month ends with twenty nine days the last day is the last Sabbath of that month and is followed by the new moon day or first of the new month, which as was the beginning, a stand-alone day not counted with the week days. If the month ends in thirty days the last day is as the first day a stand-alone day not attached to a week of seven days. This explains how Elohim can end His work on the seventh and rest on the seventh. He ends His work on the 7th of the first month and rests on the 7th day since the first day of creation of light/day.
To sum up the fore going Gen.1 and 2 establishes that the first Sabbath was on the 8th of the first month of that first year, making the subsequent Sabbaths to be on the 15th 22nd and 29th of that first month. The cycle restarts each new month so that since the first year to the current year, the Sabbaths have been on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th of each month. The question would be, is there proof of that in the bible? I will in addition to the account in Gen 1and 2 proffer at least three proofs.
Proof number one. The children of Israel left Egypt on the 15th Abib which was a Sabbath, and the first day of unleavened bread. “And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt” Ex. 12:17 “And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the Passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.” Nu.33:3.  Some may pose an objection that they couldn’t have been travelling and carrying their belongings on the Sabbath. Remember the Sabbath belongs to YAH and His Son is Lord of the Sabbath, and the children of Israel belong to YAH. He is their Elohim and Master, and as Yahushua said: “… hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?” Luk. 13:15. YAH as owner of Israel was quite entitled, even obligated to free them on the Sabbath and lead them away. Yahushua was answering the Pharisees who were accusing him of healing on the Sabbath. “And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” We
can paraphrase Yahushua’s words as “And ought not this Yisrael, being a seed of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these four hundred and thirty years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” There is no biblical inhibition against travelling and freeing someone from sin, sickness and bondage on the Sabbath; so back to the proof: “And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.”; how was He going to prove them? By the Sabbath observance! We today are being proved by the observance of the proper Sabbath! “And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.” Yisrael was to have one measure of manna a day but on the sixth day two measures of manna and on the seventh day or Sabbath no manna came down.
Now let’s go on. “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.” This is the even of the fifteenth Abib (the Sabbath) and the morning was the sixteenth Abib, the first working day. So they had flesh on the even of the fifteenth and manna in the morning of the sixteenth and they gathered manna for six days counting from the sixteenth day on the sixth they gathered twice as much. “And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.” Ex.16:22, 23. Counting from the sixteenth day the twenty first is the sixth day, the following day the twenty second is the Sabbath. If the twenty second is a Sabbath counting backwards the fifteenth was a Sabbath and still counting backwards the eighth was a Sabbath. It was so in the first month and it was so in the second month. Remember the eighth of the first month of the first year was the first Sabbath, and the cycle is the same over two thousand years later. Meaning it did not change since the first year! “For I am the LORD, I change not.” Mal.3:6. They left Egypt on the 15th Abib which was a Sabbath and arrived at the wilderness of Sin on the 15th of the second month which was a Sabbath, for the morrow of it was the first work day on which they gathered manna and did so for six days till preparation day on the 21st of the second month and the morrow the 22nd was the Sabbath. So if the 22nd was a Sabbath the 29th would be a Sabbath too and going backwards the 15th was a Sabbath and so was the 8th .Is it possible to have the Sabbath fall on the same dates two months in a row on the Gregorian calendar? 
Proof two. In exodus 40 the tabernacle is set up on the new moon day of the first month of the second year after coming out of Egypt. New moon is a worship day. Some may think this is prohibited on a worship day notice what Yahushua says when the Pharisees queried why His disciples were doing that which was unlawful on a Sabbath: “But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for
him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the Sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?”  So Moshe could set up the tent on the new moon and be blameless. With the rearing up of the tabernacle, Aharone and his sons were confined to the entrance of the tent for seven days from the new moon day. Counting from the new moon day the confinement ended on the seventh of the month which was preparation day and the following day the eighth was the Sabbath and YAHUWAH appeared in the tent of congregation. It is clear that the eighth of the first month of the second year after Egypt was a Sabbath, which makes the 15th, 22nd and 29th Sabbath days also in conformity with Genesis 1 and 2 already explained above.
Proof three. In 2 Chronicles 7, Solomon is dedicating the temple in the seventh month. Careful reading will reveal that there are two events that were celebrated one following the other. The first was the dedication of the temple that commenced on the eighth of the seventh month and went through for seven days to the fourteenth, then commenced the feast of tabernacles that commenced on the fifteenth day of the seventh month through to the twenty second of that month; then after the feast, on the morrow the twenty third Solomon dismissed the people. Let’s unpack it; the dedication of the temple began on the Sabbath on the eighth and ran for seven days till the fourteenth, which is preparation day for the Sabbath and feast of tabernacles in the seventh month. The feast of tabernacles ran for seven days from the fifteenth till the twenty first, then on the eighth day the twenty second was held a solemn assembly. The only reason why there was a solemn assembly on the eight day after the fifteenth is that, that day the 22nd was a Sabbath meaning the 29th after it was also a Sabbath as the 15th and the 8th before it. Again we see that the 8th, 15th 22nd and 29th were Sabbath days. In scripture each time a date of the Sabbath is given or inferred it is always on either of these the 8th, 15th, 22nd or 29th. This is possible only with the Astro-Luni-Solar calendar as ordained by YAH at Creation: “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:” Gen. 1:14 “He appointed the moon for seasons” Ps.104:19. Seasons is moedim in Hebrew which means worship times, the new moon, the Sabbaths together with the annual feasts are worship times determined by the phases of the moon.
The first of each month is new moon day which is a worship day Proof one: talking of worship in the new heaven and earth YAH by Isaiah says “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.”  It is plain that as the Sabbath which is a worship day now and was a worship day in the past and will be a worship day in the new creation, the new moon day will still be a worship day in the new heaven and earth; so it follows that as the Sabbath it must be a worship day for the people of YAH now.
Proof two: “Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that 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. Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the Sabbaths and in the
new moons.” This gate was shut the six working days but opened on the new moon and Sabbath to enable the prince and the people to worship on those days. It’s plain that on those days YAH was present in that location, in a special way to receive worship from the people and bless them. Ancient Yisrael worshiped on the new moon and the redeemed will worship on the new moon in the new heaven and earth, is modern Yisrael exempt from worshiping on the new moon now, but to do so in eternity? YAH does not change, “I am the LORD, I change not” Mal. 3:6. Solomon says:” I know that, whatsoever Elohim doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it.” Ecc.3:14 Elohim set His calendar at creation and his worship days to be on the 1st 8th 15th 22nd and 29th, He has not changed it and they still stand.
Dear reader the fore going presentation shows that the Sabbath is determined by the phases of the moon and that the new moon is a worship day. This was established at creation more than five thousand seven hundred years ago. The Gregorian calendar in use was established in 1582 more than five thousand years since creation, this was necessitated by error. The Julian calendar before it was adjusted in 45BC by making that year longer by ninety days. These errors and adjustments indicate that they could and cannot be trusted to point the correct Sabbath and further they don’t show the new moon days which are important worship days. 
If you have proof from scripture that we must worship according to the Gregorian calendar, and also disregard worshiping on the new moon days, please forward it to me.
Elohim Bless you!

The God head
The first angel cries to the earth that they worship Elohiym who created heaven and earth the sea and fountains of waters; never before has this message been important to the church than now. It is important to have a correct doctrine of Elohiym or the God head. Today Christendom believes in and worships a triune God called the Trinity or Holy Trinity. Does the bible teach it or reveal a Trinity? In this study we shall proceed as Yahushua did, when he was opening the scriptures concerning Himself to the two disciples on the way to Emus, by beginning with Moshe (Moses). This is the study method used by William Miller and endorsed by the Spirit of Prophecy through E G White.
Gen. 1:1 says: “In the beginning God created Heaven and earth, verse two and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep.”  These first two verses don’t reveal how many were involved in creation; some from the text “the spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep” conclude that the spirit is a being that took an active part together with the Father and Son in creation. The word translated spirit is the Hebrew Ruach with multi applications such as wind, air, blast of air, spirit, mind, thought and power. If the text is read substituting the other applications for spirit it will be evident that the spirit is not a being separate from the Father and His Son. The spirit is as the text says the spirit of God just as it can be rendered the power of God, the mind of God, the wind of God etc. After that nothing indicates the plurality of the creator.
The Hebrew word translated God is Elohiym is plural and singular,  is often  used with a singular verb and pronoun: “And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” In the text the pronoun He is used instead of they, which indicates that God (Elohiym) is singular though Elohiym can be plural. “Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD (YAHUWAH) he is God; there is none else beside him.  Hear, O Israel: The LORD (YAHUWAH) our God is one LORD (YAHUWAH):” Duet. 4:35; 6:4. The pronouns used for God are singular; YAHUWAH is His name, the full version of YHWH
God is understood in the things He has created: “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” all creation reveals God, but one single creation models the Godhead so that we can understand the God head:
Verse 26 gives us the first indication that creation was by more than one Spiritual Holy Being: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” The pronoun “Us” suggests more than one, how many it is difficult to say. The answer lies in the text “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” This text we have read narrowly as meaning the physical and character only, however from other text we learn that the likeness extends further than that, to the number in the Godhead, the authority in the Godhead, and the relationship in the Godhead e.g. “And so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.” “But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” These comparisons prove that the human was modeled according to the divine.
To make comparison easy we are going to invent a new term “Humanhead”. Humanhead models the Godhead, so to understand the Godhead we must study the Humanhead. When Elohiym created man he created two beings Adam and Eve. Adam was created first then Eve was taken out of Adam: “For Adam was first formed, then Eve.” 1 Ti 2:13. This means that in the Godhead as in the Humanhead there is two beings and that one of them came first and then the second. In Proverbs 8:22-30 wisdom is speaking as being with God in the beginning, what or who is wisdom?  “But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” 1Co1:24.  Wisdom of God is Christ, so we can read the whole passage substituting Christ for wisdom and other pronouns referring to wisdom. Verse 24 says:” When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.” Let’s read it thus:” When there were no depths, Christ was brought forth”. The phrase brought forth is chuwl pronounced khool, in Hebrew meaning also to bear or begat, which will render the text as “When there were no depths, Christ was born or begotten” the One who brought forth Christ must have been there before Christ so as to begat Christ, just as Adam was created first, and was there first for Eve to be taken out of him; to be the only begotten of Adam.  Christ is the only begotten of God.
In the Humanhead Adam was first formed then Eve, then Eve was taken out of, or brought forth from Adam, to be the only begotten of Adam. With Adam and Eve, two beings, the Humanhead was complete, therefore with God and Christ the Godhead is complete. Adam is the head of Eve in the Humanhead, and in the Godhead, God (Elohiym) is the head of the Anointed (Christ). In the Humanhead Eve is the mother of all living; in the Godhead Christ is the creator of all: “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:” Col. 1:16. “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:” Eph. 3:9. “Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;” Heb.1:2.
 The above parallels prove that to a large extent and in vital aspects the humanhead models the Godhead. There are two in the Godhead as there are two in the humanhead. These two the Father and Son created heaven and earth the sea and fountains of waters, therefore they only must be worshipped: “That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.” Joh.5:23.
When man fell the council of peace to redeem man was between two: “And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.” Zech. 6:12, 13. The word translated both is Shanayim meaning two, couple, both. The two are the LORD and the BRANCH. The Branch is Christ: “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:” Is.11:1 “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.” Jer.23:5 “In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.” Jer. 33:15.
 The LORD is YAHUWAH the Father; the council of peace is between the Father and the Branch, who is the Christ the only begotten of YAHUWAH the Father. Sister White says: “The loyal angels hastened speedily to the Son of God and acquainted Him with what was taking place among the angels. They found the Father in conference with His beloved Son, to determine the means by which, for the best good of the loyal angels, the assumed authority of Satan could be forever put down.” SR. p 17.  This is the council of peace spoken of by Zechariah.
Sister White says:” The Father and the Son engaged in the mighty, wondrous work they had contemplated--of creating the world.” SR.p20 “In the beginning the Father and the Son had rested upon the Sabbath after Their work of creation.” DA: P 769. These statements by Sister White are very plain and need no explanation and should end all controversy concerning the Godhead that created heaven and earth the sea and fountains of waters, and that must be worshipped; the Father and His Son.
 Rev. 5:13 “And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” Every creature in heaven worships the Father and the Son (Lamb) and all creatures on earth join in the worship of the Father and Son. It is the Father and Son that created heaven and earth the sea and fountains of waters, it is the Father and Son who worked together to put down Satan’s rebellion and it is the Father and the Son who sit on the throne in the new heaven and earth receiving worship of the new creation.
 A third one would bring disharmony in the humanhead, the third would either be male which would compromise Adam or female which would compromise Eve and therefore causing turmoil; this state of affairs is called polygamy. The same applies to the Godhead; he would have to be either a competitor with the Father or a competitor with the Son thereby causing turmoil. The devil tried it in heaven and the result was war and his expulsion from heaven to this earth which has plunged this earth into unimaginable turmoil. Abraham tried it by marrying Hagar and the result was that the peace, love and respect that prevailed before then evaporated, plunging the family into strife, until YAHUWAH intervened and told Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away. There is no room for the third one in the Godhead as much as there is no room for the third one in the humanhead. Even the doctrine of the third one has caused division and strife in the churches. Dear reader, please study this important subject because your salvation depends on it!
 YAHUWAH and His SON bless you!
Below is a tabular comparison of the Godhead and Humanhead
Please note that Godhead means godlike, godhood, divine; it does not mean a plurality of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Father is Godhead and the Son is also Godhead, which means being God or having the attributes of divinity. The same word translated Godhead is in 2Pt. 1:3 translated divine: “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:”
