The Vatican

The Power behind the Power

Introduction

The Vatican is the most powerful entity on the planet today. Actually it is the combination of two great powers – the combination of church and state. The church, of course is the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) and the state is that of the Roman Empire. The City of Rome sits upon seven hills, which is exactly where the Scriptures say Satan’s seat is located. This is where Christianity was born. Christianity is a combination of three powers. The first is the Gentile Believers who were Roman citizens. Their movement began as a work of YHVH, but many could not endure the harsh persecution that dogged their steps. The second power was that of the official state religion of the time, the main competitor to the newly established Jewish cult, Mithraism. Mithraism was the religion of Sun worship. They worshiped Mithra. The third is the worship of Sol Invictus (the Invincible Sun), which eventually developed out of Mithraism . Their earthly leader was whichever current Emperor of Rome that held that seat. Thus, it was also a cult of Emperor Worship. Christianity is nothing more than a make-over of Mithraism and the worship of Sol Invictus with a tiny bit of Jewish flavoring mixed in.

In this article I will examine the real history of the Vatican and its relationship (or lack of) to the Holy Scriptures and the world as we know it. The current military champion of the Vatican is the United States of America. The Vatican heavily influences the military conquests of the United States. Every war since the American War of Independence (at least) has been a war conceived by the Vatican and executed by duped leaders of various nations. If your eyes have not already been opened to the true purpose of this entity, be prepared for some shocking and disturbing information.

The Formation of the Roman Catholic Church

Few people know how the Roman Catholic Church was really formed. More than 100,000,000 people around the globe truly believe that the RCC is the same religion of the Messiah, whom they call “Iesous” or “Jesus”. They read the Scriptures faithfully, attend worship services, go through all the rituals, pray to their “God”. All seems well and good; however, they are none-the-less deceived. They are as far away from salvation as east is from west. How can this be? How can they study the Scriptures so faithfully and still be deceived? To answer this question we have to go back to the very beginning, before the HaMashiyack was sent to earth.

The Mithraic Mysteries or Mysteries of Mithras (also Mithraism) was a mystery religion centered on the god Mithras, became popular among the military in the Roman Empire, from the 1st to 4th centuries AD. Information on the cult is based mainly on interpretations of the many surviving monuments. The most characteristic of these are depictions of Mithras as being born from a rock, and as sacrificing a bull. His worshippers had a complex system of seven grades of initiation, with ritual meals. They met in underground temples, which survive in large numbers. Little else is known for certain.

Mithras is born from a rock.^[1] He is depicted in his temples slaying a bull in the tauroctony (see section below). Little is known about the beliefs associated with this.^[2] The ancient histories of the cult by Euboulos and Pallas have perished.^[3] The name of the god was certainly given as Mithras (with an 's') in Latin monuments, although Mithra may have been used in Greek.^[4]

History and development

Beginnings

In antiquity, texts refer to "the mysteries of Mithras", and to its adherents, as "the mysteries of the Persians."^[5] But there is great dispute about whether there is really any link with Persia, and its origins are quite obscure.^[6]

The mysteries of Mithras were not practiced until the 1st century AD.^[7] The unique underground temples or Mithraea appear suddenly in the archaeology in the last quarter of the first century AD.^[8]

Modern theories

Beck believes that the cult was created in Rome, by a single founder who had some knowledge of both Greek and Oriental religion, but suggests that some of the ideas used may have passed through the Hellenistic kingdoms: "Mithras — moreover, a Mithras who was identified with the Greek Sun god, Helios, ... was one of the deities of the syncretic Graeco-Iranian royal cult founded by Antiochus I, king of the small, but prosperous "buffer" state of Commagene, in the mid first century BC.^[5]

Merkelbach suggests that its mysteries were essentially created by a particular person or persons^[35] and created in a specific place, the city of Rome, by someone from an eastern province or border state who knew the Iranian myths in detail, which he wove into his new grades of initiation; but that he must have been Greek and Greek-speaking because he incorporated elements of Greek platonism into it. The myths, he suggests, were probably created in the milieu of the imperial bureaucracy, and for its members.^[36] Clauss tends to agree. Beck calls this "the most likely scenario" and states "Till now, Mithraism has generally been treated as if it somehow evolved Topsy-like from its Iranian precursor -- a most implausible scenario once it is stated explicitly."^[37]

Archaeologist Lewis M. Hopfe notes that there are only three Mithraea in Roman Syria, in contrast to further west. He writes: "archaeology indicates that Roman Mithraism had its epicenter in Rome... the fully developed religion known as Mithraism seems to have begun in Rome and been carried to Syria by soldiers and merchants."^[38]

Taking a different view from most modern scholars, Ulansey argues that the Mithraic mysteries began in the Greco-Roman world as a religious response to the discovery by the Greek astronomer Hipparchus of the astronomical phenomenon of the precession of the equinoxes — a discovery that amounted to discovering that the entire cosmos was moving in a hitherto unknown way. This new cosmic motion, he suggests, was seen by the founders of Mithraism as indicating the existence of a powerful new god capable of shifting the cosmic spheres and thereby controlling the universe.^[39]

Ware asserted that the Romans who founded the cult borrowed the name "Mithras" from Avestan Mithra.^[40]

Later History

The first important expansion of the mysteries in the Empire seems to have happened quite quickly, late in the reign of Antoninus Pius and under Marcus Aurelius. By this time all the key elements of the mysteries were in place.^[41]

Mithraism reached the apogee of its popularity during the 2nd and 3rd centuries, spreading at an "astonishing" rate at the same period when Sol Invictus became part of the state cult.^[42] At this period a certain Pallas devoted a monograph to Mithras, and a little later Euboulus wrote a History of Mithras, although both works are now lost.^[43] According to the possibly spurious fourth century Historia Augusta, the emperor Commodus participated in its mysteries.^[44] But it never became one of the state cults.^[45]

The End of Mithraism

It is difficult to trace when the religion of Mithras came to an end. Beck states that "Quite early in the [fourth] century the religion was as good as dead throughout the empire."^[46] Inscriptions from the fourth century are few. There is evidence for an attempt to revive Mithraism in mid fourth century Rome - especially during the reign of Julian the Apostate - as part of deliberate attempt by certain leading senatorial families to promote alternatives to Christianity.^[47] After the death of Julian, however, a series of angry mobs and legal changes began to drive the religion out of Italy. These culminated in AD 377 with the consul Gracchus decreeing that the followers of Mithras be banned from Rome.^[48] By the time of the accession of Theodosius (AD 394), the religion had been driven from Italy and most Christian (and Roman) provinces, and there is virtually no evidence for the continuance of the cult of Mithras into the fifth century. In particular large numbers of votive coins deposited by worshippers have been recovered at the Mithraeum at Pons Sarravi (Sarrebourg) in Gallia Belgica, in a series that runs from Gallienus (253-68) to Theodosius I (379-395). These were scattered over the floor when the Mithraeum was destroyed, as Christians apparently regarded the coins as polluted; and they therefore provide reliable dates for the functioning of the Mithraeum.^[49] It cannot be shown that any Mithraeum continued in use in the fifth century. The coin series in all Mithraea end at the end of the fourth century at the latest. The cult disappeared earlier than that of Isis. Isis was still remembered in the middle ages as a pagan deity, but Mithras was already forgotten in late antiquity.^[50]

Cumont stated in the English edition of his book that Mithraism may have survived in certain remote cantons of the Alps and Vosges into the fifth century, but the reference was only given in the French text, and was to the date of the coins in the Mithraeum at Pons Sarravi, none of which are in fact fifth century.^[51]

End of quote.

The term “mystery religion” is a vital clue in determining the origin of Mithraism. That term was originally applied to the religion of Babylon, or the Babylonian Mystery religion. That religion was established by Nimrod, the great grandson of Noah, who was championed as a great warrior/hunter and protector of the people. His main competition was Noah and afterward, his son Shem. Both Noah and Shem were the rightful kings and high priests of the earth. Nimrod sought to control his followers by giving them a different source of worship which was ultimately himself.

Gen. 10:8 - And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 - He was a mighty hunter before YHVH: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before YHVH.

10 - And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 - Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

12 - And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

13 - And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

14 - And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

Many other extra-biblical writings go into more detail concerning Nimrod and of course numerous legends and myths evolve around this historical figure as well. The term “before YHVH” implies that he stood against or in opposition to YHVH. After the flood Noah became the high priest and king of the entire earth. All people on the earth were his descendants. Being the oldest living human qualified him for this position. After the death of Noah, Shem would have automatically assumed this position since he was the oldest living son of Noah and thus the oldest living human after Noah’s death. Shem’s life overlapped Abraham’s by some 111 years. Therefore it was most likely Shem, also known by the title Melchizadek, the king of Salem (Jerusalem), who was high priest of the entire earth. Shem would have been the only one on the earth at that time that legitimately qualified for that title.

Meanwhile, Nimrod was busy setting himself up as a contender for that position. He first became known as a mighty hunter and warrior. He then established great cities to defend his position and his followers from attack both from animals and humans. His notoriety eventually went to his head and he decided that he had an equal right to the position of high priest and king of the earth. However, Noah had previously cursed the descendants of Ham because of Cannan for his sin (of uncovering Noah’s nakedness and gazing upon him with homosexual lust), and condemned his descendants to a future of servitude to the descendants of Shem. Of course Nimrod could not accept such a station in life and strived to take control by his own means. To do this he knew that he had to establish an alternate religious system that would appeal to his citizens. His purpose was to lead people away from the authority of Shem and the religious system of YHVH.

This very same ideal would reestablish itself in history two more times. The first was in the separation of Israel and Judah, where the northern ten tribes went whoring after the gods of their neighbours – the Babylonian Mystery Religion. The King of Israel feared that if he allowed his subjects to return to the temple in Judah to worship, they would eventually want to reunite with their cousins. So, he introduced them to the Babylonian Mystery cult and they blindly followed their king, rather than YHVH. This is also considered emperor worship since the people preferred to be obedient to their king rather than YHVH.

The second time in history that this happened was when the Jewish and Gentile believers split off into two separate groups. The Jews continued to follow the Jewish customs and traditions, while the Gentiles branched off to form their own religion - Christianity. The Christians wanted to separate themselves from the Jews primarily for the sake of escaping persecution. That meant coming under the Roman law that no Roman citizen was allowed to practice the customs and traditions of the Jews. Naturally, any true Believer would not be able to comply with this law. In fact, it was the breaking of this law that condemned so many Believers to death at the hands of the Romans.

The mystery religion of Mithra came into being in Rome around the same time as Christianity. It was brought back to Rome from Asia Minor by returning soldiers and some military leaders. It quickly became the choice of religion for the politically elite of Rome. It was out of this system of worship that the worship of Sol Invictus was born. Naturally, if Mithraism was the religion of the emperor, he would expect all his subjects to follow suit. However, they eventually found themselves losing ground to the faith of the true Believers coming out of Jerusalem.

What they did then next was ingenious. They selected certain spies to infiltrate the assemblies and eventually work themselves up into positions of authority in those assemblies. They were the wolves in sheep’s clothing talked about by Peter and Jude. Once in power they began to introduce customs and traditions that were foreign to Judaism, but quite familiar to Mithraism. They convinced their followers that if they only obeyed this one Roman law, they would escape persecution. They introduced the “doing away with the law” doctrine and convinced the people that they were no longer under the (Jewish) law. That “freed” them to take on the customs and traditions of anyone they wanted. The emperor Constantine was a Mithraite and worshipped Sol Invictus. He not only sanctified the existing Roman law forbidding Roman citizens from Judaising, but also decreed that the first day of the week (Sunday – the pagan day of sun worship) to be the official Sabbath day of Rome in place of the Jewish 7^th day Sabbath. They changed the holy days as outlined in the Scriptures to those of the Mithraic cult – Xmas and Easter, etc. When the persecution stopped finally in the 4^th century, the people saw it as a blessing from “God”. They were told that the Roman Emperor, Constantine, had converted to Christianity. If he had truly become a Believer, he would have abolished the Roman law forbidding Judaising and began to follow the customs and traditions of the Jews and the Messiah himself.

Instead the law was upheld. Therefore, it was not the church that converted Constantine, but Constantine who converted the church. He saw the movement as something he could not control so he sought to corrupt it instead. This can be compared to the sin of Balaam. When YHVH would not allow the prophet to curse Israel, Balaam instead sought to corrupt Israel by telling the Moabites to entice the men of Israel with the Moabite women so they would defile themselves (with both the women and their gods. This is exactly what Constantine did with the Believing assemblies of Gentiles within his realm. He caused them to defile themselves with the gods of Mithra. He deceived them into coming under the authority of Roman law and abandoning the laws of YHVH, even the weekly Sabbath. They eventually gave themselves over to the gods of Mithra as well, although the names of these gods were given a Christian makeover.

Naturally this did not happen overnight. It happened over centuries. Time is one thing that is on the Vatican’s side. Since their power does not rest on one particular human being, but in the organization itself, they are able to work their “mysteries” over many centuries, with the all consuming goal of becoming the sole global authority. The name “Catholic” means universal. Catholics genuinely believe that they are the only true religion on earth. The true mindset of it leadership is exposed in the Supreme Jesuit Oath of Induction, which commands them to destroy all heretics, or non-Catholics. This is no different from the teachings of Islam which commands its followers to kill all non-Moslems. In their beginnings, the church in Rome met stiff opposition from the Believing assemblies in the East. However, with the backing of the Roman military, they eventually conquered and suppressed all opposition. Over the centuries since then, those born into the Christian faith learn the lies of their faith from birth. No wonder the whole Christian world is so deceived. If they don’t know they are deceived, they will never seek the truth until they are challenged to do so, which is what I am trying to achieve through my writings.

Also mentioned in the above quote is the term “Sol Invictus”. Lets see what is meant by this term and its influence on Gentile Chrisatianity.

Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun") was a Roman god identified in the later Roman empire^[^ambiguous^] with Sol, accompanied with the epithet invictus meaning unconquered that was commonly given to Sol from the 2nd century AD onwards.

Sol Invictus originated in the god Mithras, who was a Persian god.^[1] introduced to Rome from the Alexandrian Empire. Sol Invictus continued to be associated with Mithras and the Mithraic Mysteries thereafter. For example, an altar or block from near SS. Pietro e Marcellino on the Esquiline in Rome was inscribed with a bilingual inscription by an Imperial freedman named T. Flavius Hyginus, probably between 80-100 AD. It is dedicated to Sol Invictus Mithras.^[2]

Mithraism reached the apogee of its popularity during the 2nd and 3rd centuries, spreading at an "astonishing" rate at the same period when Sol Invictus became part of the state cult.^[3] At this period a certain Pallas devoted a monograph to Mithras, and a little later Euboulus wrote a History of Mithras, although both works are now lost.^[4] According to the possibly spurious fourth century Historia Augusta, the emperor Commodus participated in its mysteries.^[5] But it never became one of the state cults.^[6] ^[7] In recent publications this older view has been definitively refuted, and it now seems certain that the Romans revered the sun, Sol (with various epithets, including invictus) as a god, without interruption, from as far back as we can trace Roman religion until the end of antiquity^[^ambiguous^].^[8]

As a result of these new studies, many of the older notions concerning the role of the sun god in Late Antiquity are falling by the wayside.

Repoussé silver disc of Sol Invictus, Roman, 3rd century, found at Pessinus (British Museum)

Invictus (unconquered) was an epithet used for various Roman divinities in the Roman Empire. In the Roman Calendar of the early empire these include Jupiter Invictus and Mars Invictus. It was in use from the late Republic and throughout the Imperial period for a range of deities, such as Hercules, Apollo and Silvanus, and was therefore a well-established form when applied to Mithras by Roman devotees from the second century onwards. It has a clear association with solar deities and solar monism; as such, it became the preferred epithet of Rome's traditional Sol and the novel, short-lived Roman state cult to Elagabalus, an Emesan solar deity who headed Rome's official pantheon under his namesake emperor.^[9]

The earliest dated use of Sol invictus is in a dedication from Rome, AD 158.^[10] Another, stylistically dated to the 2nd century AD, is inscribed on a Roman phalera: "inventori lucis soli invicto augusto" (to the contriver of light, sol invictus augustus ).^[11] Here "augustus" is most likely a further epithet of Sol as "august" (an elevated being, divine or close to divinity), though the association of Sol with the Imperial house would have been unmistakable and was already established in iconography and stoic monism.^[12] These are the earliest attested examples of Sol as invictus, but in AD 102 a certain Anicetus restored a shrine of Sol; Hijmans (2009, 486, n. 22) is tempted "to link Anicetus' predilection for Sol with his name, the Latinized form of the Greek word ἀνίκητος, which means invictus".^[13]

[edit] Elagabalus

The first sun god consistently termed invictus was the provincial Syrian god Elagabalus. According to the Historia Augusta, the teenaged Severan heir adopted the name of his deity and brought his cult image from Emesa to Rome. Once installed as emperor, he neglected Rome's traditional State deities and promoted his own as Rome's most powerful deity. This ended with his murder in 222.

The Historia Augusta refers to the deity Elagabalus as "also called Jupiter and Sol" (fuit autem Heliogabali vel Iovis vel Solis).^[14]

This has been seen as an abortive attempt to impose the Syrian sun god on Rome;^[15] but because it is now clear that the Roman cult of Sol remained firmly established in Rome throughout the Roman period,^[16] this Syrian Sol Elagabalus has become no more relevant to our understanding of the Roman Sol than, for example, the Syrian Jupiter Dolichenus is for our understanding of the Roman Jupiter.

Sol Invictus

[edit] Aurelian

Aurelian in his radiate crown, on a silvered bronze coin struck at Rome, 274-275

The Roman gens Aurelian was associated with the cult of Sol.^[17] After his victories in the East, the emperor Aurelian thoroughly reformed the Roman cult of Sol, elevating the sun-god to one of the premier divinities of the empire. Where previously a priests of Sol had been simply sacerdotes and tended to belong to lower ranks of Roman society,^[18] they were now pontifices and members of the new college of pontifices instituted by Aurelian. Every pontifex of Sol was a member of the senatorial elite, indicating that the priesthood of Sol was now highly prestigious. Almost all these senators held other priesthoods as well, however, and some of these other priesthoods take precedence in the inscriptions in which they are listed, suggesting that they were considered more prestigious than the priesthood of Sol.^[19] Aurelian also built a new temple for Sol, bringing the total number of temples for the god in Rome to (at least) four^[20] He also instituted games in honor of the sun god, held every four years from AD 274 onwards.

The confusion surrounding Aurelian's reforms has been significant, much of it rooted in the mistaken opinion that he was introducing a new cult, which, as is now clear, he was not. The following constitute the most common errors of fact attributed to Aurelian and his reforms.

1. Aurelian called his sun god Sol Invictus to differentiate him from the earlier Roman god Sol.

Actually, Aurelian is twice as likely to call Sol Oriens on his coins as he is Sol Invictus.^[21] Only one of the fifteen or so pontifices of Sol adds the epithet invictus; all others simply call themselves "pontifex Solis".^[22]

2. Aurelian built his new temple for a Syrian sun god, not the Roman one.

There is no credible evidence to support this, and ample evidence to refute it. The "Syrian Sol-hypothesis" is therefore now rejected by all specialists in the field.^[23]

3. Aurelian inaugurated his new temple dedicated to Sol Invictus and held the first games for Sol on December 25, 274, on the supposed day of the winter solstice and day of rebirth of the Sun.

This is not only pure conjecture, but goes against the best evidence available.^[24] There is no record of celebrating Sol on December 25 prior to CE 354/362. Hijmans lists the known festivals of Sol as August 8 and/or 9, August 28, and December 11. There are no sources that indicate on which day Aurelian inaugurated his temple and held the first games for Sol, but we do know that these games were held every four years from CE 274 onwards. This means that they were presumably held in CE 354, a year for which perchance a Roman calendar, the Chronography of 354 (or calendar of Filocalus), has survived. This calendar lists a festival for Sol and Luna on August 28, Ludi Solis (games for Sol) for October 19-22, and a Natalis Invicti (birthday of the invincible one) on December 25. While it is widely assumed that the invictus of December 25 is Sol, the calendar does not state this explicitly.^[25] The only explicit reference to a celebration of Sol in late December is made by Julian the Apostate in his hymn to King Helios written immediately afterwards in early CE 363. Julian explicitly differentiates between the one-day, annual celebration of late December 362 and the multi-day quadrennial games of Sol which, of course, had also been held in 362, but clearly at a different time.^[26] Taken together, the evidence of the Calendar of Filocalus and Julian's hymn to Helios clearly shows, according to Hijmans and others, that the ludi of October 19 - 22 were the Solar Games instituted by Aurelian. They presumably coincided with the dedication of his new temple for Sol.

4. After Aurelian, Sol became supreme deity of the Roman Empire.

(Hijmans 2009, chapter 9) raises serious doubts about this contention.

[edit] Constantine

Identical reverse as above but with Emperor Licinius on head

Emperors portrayed Sol Invictus on their official coinage, with a wide range of legends, only a few of which incorporated the epithet invictus, such as the legend SOLI INVICTO COMITI, claiming the Unconquered Sun as a companion to the Emperor, used with particular frequency by Constantine.^[28] Statuettes of Sol Invictus, carried by the standard-bearers, appear in three places in reliefs on the Arch of Constantine. Constantine's official coinage continues to bear images of Sol until 325/6. A solidus of Constantine as well as a gold medallion from his reign depict the Emperor's bust in profile twinned ("jugate") with Sol Invictus, with the legend INVICTUS CONSTANTINUS^[29]

Constantine decreed (March 7, 321) dies Solis—day of the sun, "Sunday"—as the Roman day of rest [CJ3.12.2]:

On the venerable day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country however persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits because it often happens that another day is not suitable for grain-sowing or vine planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost.^[30]

Constantine's triumphal arch was carefully positioned to align with the colossal statue of Sol by the Colosseum, so that Sol formed the dominant backdrop when seen from the direction of the main approach towards the arch.^[31]

[edit] Sol and the other Roman Emperors

Berrens^[32] deals with coin-evidence of Imperial connection to the Solar cult. Sol is depicted sporadically on imperial coins in the first and second centuries AD, then more frequently from Septimius Severus onwards until AD 325/6. Sol invictus appears on coin legends from AD 261, well before the reign of Aurelian.^[33]

Connections between the imperial radiate crown and the cult of Sol are postulated. Augustus was posthumously depicted with radiate crown, as were living emperors from Nero (after AD 65) to Constantine. Some modern scholarship interprets the imperial radiate crown as a divine, solar association rather than an overt symbol of Sol; Bergmann calls it a pseudo-object designed to disguise the divine and solar connotations that would otherwise be politically controversial^[34][35] but there is broad agreement that coin-images showing the imperial radiate crown are stylistically distinct from those of the solar crown of rays; the imperial radiate crown is depicted as a real object rather than as symbolic light.^[36] Hijmans argues that the Imperial radiate crown represents the honorary wreath awarded to Augustus, perhaps posthumously, to commemorate his victory at the battle of Actium; he points out that henceforth, living emperors were depicted with radiate crowns, but state divi were not. To Hijmans this implies the radiate crown of living emperors as a link to Augustus. His successors automatically inherited (or sometimes acquired) the same offices and honours due to Octavian as "saviour of the Republic" through his victory at Actium, piously attributed to Apollo-Helios. Wreaths awarded to victors at the Actian Games were radiate.^[37]

[edit] Sol Invictus and Christianity

This reference also acknowledges that the Emperor Constantine was the most passionate supporter of this system of worship and that it was he (Constantine) who declared Sunday to be the official weekly day of rest for the Roman Empire. This revelation did not come as a result of Constantine studying the Hebrew Scriptures (remember there was no New Testament at this time) but as honoring the god he went to his death bed worshipping. This decree went hand in hand with the prior Roman decree forbidding Roman citizens from Judaising. The author of this reference fails to acknowledge that the symbols and inscriptions common to this system of worship are readily found in the Roman Catholic system of worship to this day. Also, the United States of America, which I have often referred to as the new Roman Empire, has as its symbol of freedom, a stature bearing a remarkable resemblance to Sol Invictus. Yes it is a female statue, but it was originally sculpted in the likeness of Isis for an Egyptian buyer. Isis is worshipped today by the RCC as Mary who is also referred to as “the Queen of Heaven”. In reality, her origin began with Nimrod and his mother/wife Semiramis who after the death of Nimrod, was impregnated by one of her many suitors, and escaped prosecution by claiming that her son, Tammuz, was the reincarnation of Nimrod through Immaculate Conception. She came to be worshipped as the Queen of Heaven by that particular mystery cult. Clearly it was Emperor Constantine that was responsible for the intertwining of the worship of Sol Invictus with the Christian worship of Mary, complete with the radiated solar crown.

The Olympic Games may have had their origins in the games in Rome that were held in honour of Sol. The first of these annual games were initiated by the Emperor Aurelian in 274 CE, after he completed the construction of the fourth temple erected in honour of this god. Clearly there must be an association between this date and Christmas. This religious system was one of the first also to establish colleges to train priests for a more elite brotherhood of common understanding and interpretation of the mysteries of their cult. And, also, the term pontiff came from this form of worship.

The reference also states this fact, “Sol Invictus originated in the god Mithras, who was a Persian god.^[1] introduced to Rome from the Alexandrian Empire. Sol Invictus continued to be associated with Mithras and the Mithraic Mysteries thereafter.” It also says this, “After Aurelian, Sol became supreme deity of the Roman Empire.” My contention with modern day Christianity and indeed Rome Roman Catholicism is that if they are still keeping all of the doctrines, customs and traditions of the worship of Sol, then they are still worshipping Sol – as is obvious by all the symbols present in any Roman Catholic Church that represent the sun. Even the communion wafers are round representing the sun. To whoever you are obedient to, him do you worship. If you are obedient to the laws and of YHVH, you worship YHVH. If you are obedient to the laws and doctrines of Rome, then it is the god of Rome Sol that you worship. It is so simple, I have a difficult time understanding how so many can be so deceived – but then I was deceived at one time myself, and can only say that we are so deceived from birth and if we do not seek out the truth, it may never be found. If we already think we know all the truth, we will never think to look any further. Believe me, Satan’s web of lies is an ingeniously woven and complex mystery, yet anyone truly seeking all truth can find and draw their own conclusions from information that is readily available as I have.

To justify the Christian celebration of Christmas and its obvious connection with Sol, Pope Leo the 1^st connects “Christ’s” supposed conception to a March 25^th date. That is impossible and can easily be proven to be false by what is recorded in the New Testament concerning this event. Read this passage from the Book of Luke very carefully.

Luke 1:5 - There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

6 - And they were both righteous before Elohim, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of YHVH blameless.

7 - And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.

8 - And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before Elohim in the order of his course,

9 - According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of YHVH.

10 - And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.

11 - And there appeared unto him an angel of YHVH standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

12 - And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

13 - But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

14 - And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.

15 - For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

16 - And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to YHVH their Elohim.

17 - And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for YHVH.

18 - And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

19 - And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of Elohim; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show thee these glad tidings.

20 - And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

21 - And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.

22 - And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

23 - And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

24 - And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,

25 - Thus hath YHVH dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.

26 - And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from Elohim unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

27 - To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

28 - And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

29 - And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

30 - And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with Elohim.

31 - And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Yahshua.

32 - He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and YHVH Elohim shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 - And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

34 - Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

35 - And the angel answered and said unto her, Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of Elohim.

36 - And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

37 - For with Elohim nothing shall be impossible.

38 - And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of YHVH; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

39 - And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;

40 - And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

41 - And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with Holy Spirit:

42 - And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

43 - And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Master should come to me?

44 - For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

45 - And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from YHVH.

46 - And Mary said, My soul doth magnify YHVH,

47 - And my spirit hath rejoiced in Elohim my Saviour.

48 - For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

49 - For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

50 - And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

51 - He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

52 - He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

53 - He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

54 - He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

55 - As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

56 - And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.

1 –“ a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia:”- The priesthood of the Hebrew faith was divided into 26 orders or courses, each of which severed in the temple for a two week period. The course of Abiah served the temple in early June around the festival of Pentecost. It was while Zacharias was serving in the temple that the angel came to him and announced that his wife was about to conceive a child by him. Zacharias found that hard to believe since they were well past child baring age. Because of his unbelief he was struck dumb till the time of the fulfillment of this prophesy.

2 – “as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.” – There can be no misunderstanding that Zacharias returned home immediately after his time of service to the temple – no later than the middle of June. One can imagine that the news he received from the angel had filled Zacharias with great joy and that he would have been anxious to get started and test the prophesy.

3 – “after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months,” – After what days? The course of Abiah. The implication is that she conceived immediately or in the middle to end of June, or even, perhaps, early July, depending on how long it took Zacharias to make the journey home.

4 – “And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from Elohim unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,” The time reference here is the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy. Six months from June would make it December.

5 – “behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her” – Here again is confirmation that Elizabeth was in her 6^th month of pregnancy when Mary was visited by the angel Gabriel.

6 – “And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;” - In “those days”, is again a reference to the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy.

7 - : “And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth” – Mary had traveled with haste to Elizabeth’s house to give her the news, so it can be assumed that the setting is still within the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy.

8 – “And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with Holy Spirit: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.” - There we have it, Mary was with the Child of YHVH in the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy – December.

9 – “And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house” – Mary stayed with Elizabeth for the first 3 months of her pregnancy, or until the ninth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy and the birth of John in which she may have assisted. She likely was also figuring out how she was going to break the news to her fiancée.

So, there we have it. Yahshua was conceived in December, not March 25^th, which makes Pope Leo the 1^st a liar. Obviously he concocted the March 25^th conception date to coincide with a December 25^th birth. If conceived in December, and since absolutely no one since has even tied to put forth any concept of a 12 month pregnancy, Yahshua would have had to have been born in September – most likely around or on the Feast of Trumpets, which heralds the event of the coming King of Israel. .

Further evidence of a September birth can be found in the second chapter of Luke. Let’s examine this evidence.

Luke 2:1 - And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

2 - And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

3 - And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

4 - To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

5 - And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

6 - And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

7 - And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

1 – “all the world should be taxed.” – This, of course, refers to all of the Roman occupied world of which Judah was a part.

2 – “all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)” – Joseph obeyed the Roman command and traveled to Bethlehem to pay his taxes. Since he was of the lineage of David, Bethlehem was “his own city”.

3 – “To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.” – At the time that Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethlehem to pay their taxes, Mary was about to give birth. Why would Joseph have allowed Mary to travel to Bethlehem when she was so close to her due date? Likely because it they were also on their way to Jerusalem to attend the Feast of Trumpets. The harvests would have already been in and the people of Judah would have been taking their tithes (the best of their harvest or cash equivalent) to the Temple. What other time would it have made sense for the Roman’s to collect their tax?

4 – “while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.” – The days of Mary’s pregnancy were completed just before the Feast of Trumpets. The date of Yahshua’s birth was in September.

5 – “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.” – This is the final bit of evidence for a September birth. Palestine does have a winter. During the winter months, the weather gets rather cold and the shepherds in those days brought their flocks in for the winter in late October. From that point, until the fields were rich with new grain again in the spring, the flocks were fed from hay stored from the fall harvest, exactly as they are today. Therefore, this point in time was before the shepherds would have brought their flocks in for the winter. Even if the Feast of Trumpets occurred in early October, as it sometimes does (remember that they would have been going by the Hebrew calendar, not the Roman) this passage positively debunks any theory of a December birth date. Therefore, the RCC contention of a December 25^th birth is nothing but a lie, concocted and defended by false claims, so as to coincide with the date that the Romans already celebrated as the birth date of Sol.

So, since the worship of Sol came out of the worship of Mithra, it can be safely and realistically assumed that Christianity is nothing more than a clever pagan makeover of these two former Roman religions in an effort to bring the entire Roman world under the worship of one god – Sol. It is still the goal of the RCC to bring the whole world under the worship of their god. All other denominations born out of the Referendum are no less removed from the worship of Sol than the RCC. The Referendum did address some of the problems of the RCC, but stopped far short of restoring the faith of the 1^st century Believers. The Great Whore of the Book of Revelation is the Roman Catholic Church. The different denominations born of the Referendum are her harlot daughters.

Rev. 17:3 - So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

4 - And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

5 - And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

In Biblical technology the term “woman” is symbolic of the church. The “beast” is a powerful political entity. The woman riding the beast typifies a great, powerful church riding on the coat-tails of a very powerful, world dominating super power. The church can be no other than the RCC. It has ridden the coat-tails of every world dominating super power since the supposed demise of the Roman Empire. Today it is riding on the back of the United States of America. However, that soon may change. Aside from Israel, the United States of America is likely the most hated nation on Earth. They employ the exact same strategy as the ancient Roman Empire. In most cases they control the nations of the earth via the world economic system. Many leaders of 3^rd world countries received their education and train in the U.S. The U.S. government molded them into compliant puppets and then helped them to get elected to power. Once in power they allow the U.S. in to rape whichever nation of all their natural resources. By the time that nation realizes what is going on and revolts, they are so economically depleted that they cannot afford to fight a war to gain their freedom. Yes, certain conditions might improve in that country as a result of U.S. interests there, but the real economic picture does not become clear until it is too late. It does not surprise me in the least that the East hates the West because of both the U.S. and the Vatican. In fact they likely see the West in a much more realistic light than we in the West do. Remember the old saying, “You can’t see the forest for the trees.”

Every U.S. president in recent decades has had an audience with the Pope shortly after their inauguration to receive his blessing. What surprises me is the fact that these presidents are not even Roman Catholic (except for Kennedy). Why would a Protestant president seek blessing from the Vatican? It is simple. Even though they are protestant, they recognize the Vatican as the real true power on the earth and know they need its blessing to succeed. Also, every U.S. president since Roosevelt has been an active member of the Skull and Bones university sorority, a Roman Catholic satellite organization. They may also fear assassination if they do not play ball with this economic giant.

This mistake was made by such presidents as Kennedy and Lincoln. When Jimmy Carter was elected, he won with the help and support of his protestant counter parts. Shortly after his election, Pat Robertson (in his book, “The New World Order”) reported going to Carter to see why he wasn’t implementing the changes he promised. Robertson said Carter simply broke down and cried, saying that they (the powers that be) would not let him. What was he afraid of? Was he not the most powerful man in the world? No he was not, not by a long shot. Indeed, the most powerful man in the world is the Jesuit General of the RCC, also known as the Black Pope. He is Jesuit Superior General Adolfo Nicolas.

6 - And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Which religious organization is responsible for more murders than any other on the face of the earth? After becoming the official, state sponsored religion of Rome, the RCC set out to stamp out all heresy. They waged war against all true believers in the East, jailing them, taking away all their possessions, torturing them and getting them to recent their beliefs, and even putting to death those who refused to recant. Later this goal would be written into the official Jesuit Oath of Induction. http://www.reformation.org/jesuit-oath.html . Their goal was to eradicate all heretics or non-Catholics on the face of the Earth. Islam has the exact same goal concerning non-Muslims. This is hardly the method that Yahshua would use. Yahshua was doing just fine converting people with the truth. If allowed to continue, His followers would have converted the whole world. The RCC sent missionaries far and wide, with the purpose of converting the masses to Catholicism. However, what they taught those people was anything but the truth, and their brand of religion was just as pagan as the one these people were already practicing. The true saints, wherever they were found were killed off. The others ran and hid. The military power of the Roman Empire was the killing machine of the RCC, just as the United States of America is today. Their goal has not changed over the last 1800 years and will not change until their goal is realized.

7 - And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

8 - The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

It should be obvious that this passage is talking about none other than the Roman Empire. The history books tell us that the Roman Empire died in the fifth century, but that would render the prophesy of YHVH through Daniel (concerning the fourth world ruling empire) as false. YHVH revealed to Daniel that the fourth empire of his dream would exist until the coming of Yahshua to set up His earthly kingdom. For this to be possible, the Roman Empire must have somehow survived. And, indeed, it did survive. When the supposed end of the Roman Empire did come, the leaders merely disguised themselves as priests and hid themselves within the confines of the RCC. From there they have been truly ruling the earth (or trying to) ever since. At this point in time they are on the verge of realizing their dream and accomplishing their goal.

Since then, every world ruling empire has officially recognized the RCC as the state sponsored religion. Every one of them has eventually met their demise, but the RCC lived on by merely changing the beast it was riding. The RCC may be in the midst of changing beasts once again. Today the up and coming beast may be the European Union, Russia or China, or a combination of more than one. All three have nuclear technology and hate the U.S. I have heard reports that Russian and Chinese troops are already jointly training in Mexico, a prelude to the invasion of the U.S. However, according to Daniel’s prophesies, it will be the king of the north who will invade the holy land and desecrate the temple. It is they who will hear news out of the north and turn to fight Gog and Magog (Russia and China). Therefore the final beast power will be Europe. The world will indeed wonder in amazement at the demise of the United States. They will be even more amazed at the future demise of Europe when HaMashiyack comes.

9 - And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

10 - And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

11 - And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Many have speculated who these kings are/were. You can do your own research to try to determine which is right. It is my belief that the 7^th was Hitler. Some believe that the final king is going to be a descendant of the Hapsburg dynasty. Of course, the seven mountains or hills, is likely dual in meaning, representing the location of the source of the Beast power, which is Rome (which is built on seven hills – where Satan dwells) as well as 7 nations she will rule over.

12 - And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

13 - These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

14 - These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

These ten kings will be those who align themselves with Europe, likely from Eastern Europe. When HaMashiyack comes, they will fight against him along side of the Beast.

15 - And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

16 - And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

17 - For Elohim hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of Elohim shall be fulfilled.

The “waters” are all of the nations of the earth, which Europe will preside over for a short period (three and a half years). The ten kings (of Eastern Europe) will likely align themselves with the Beast out of fear, rather than love. When the beast finally falls, the remnant of Eastern Europe will seek to destroy all that remains of the Beast.

18 - And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

The great city is the Vatican. It is the only city/state on the face of the earth today and it does indeed rule over the kings of the earth.

It took me a while to recognize why it is that the Moslems call this final invasion of their lands a holy war. I could not understand until my research led me where it did. They have not been as brainwashed by the Vatican as we who live in the west and have been under the power and influence of the beast (through its multiple media sources) and the false prophet for many hundreds of years now. They see the forest more clearly than we do. After all, this is not the first crusade to be waged against them by the Catholic Church. Few in the west even realize the powerful influence the Vatican holds over the leaders of the western nations, and how many wars they have planned and executed, including both world wars. There is an old saying that “money talks and bullshit walks”. The meaning of this saying is that those with the most money rule no matter who is “elected” to rule our countries.

It is no secret that the Roman Catholic Church is the richest organization on the face of the earth. No one really knows their exact worth because it is spread out over all its various satellite organizations. Their wealth exceeds that of the richest nations since it has been accumulated over so many centuries. No power/empire on the face of the earth has existed for so long – 1700 years. And since they operate largely in secret and appeal to the religious/emotional side of mankind, they have done what no other empire has been able to do.

To say that they are purely a religious organization as so many Westerners believe is totally false. They play a much larger role in the political and economic realities of this world than a religious one. Those who only see the religious aspect of this empire actually believe the RCC claim that the pope presides as “God on earth” and worship him as such. The Scriptures tell us that Satan is the god of this world, or the god that the world almost unanimously worships. The Scriptures also tell us that Satan’s throne sits on seven hills. Again, Rome is the only city that is built on seven hills. The Scriptures also call Satan a liar and a murderer since the day of his creation. The great power of the RCC was gained also through lies and murder. The connection between the two entities should be obvious to anyone, yet so many are thoroughly deceived. The scary part is that the worst is yet to come.

The worst thing a person can do is underestimate the deceptive abilities of the RCC. They have learned well from their true ruler, Satan, how deceive the most intelligent people in the world. From there it is easy to deceive the less intelligent. Their agents are nurtured from birth and come from the most affluent families. Their undercover operatives are the vastest network of espionage on earth. It has been reported by dissident priests that have left the order that the Vatican has files on almost every single human being on the earth. They work their way not only into the political realm, but also the military, police forces, educational institutions, the media and even all the other religious systems of the world. They have even secretly bought up all of the major publishing companies and media conglomerates so as to control what everyone is reading. They invented the concept of infant baptism and dedicating children to the church. Think about it, what better method could Satan use to deceive the world than through the children? Since finding out the truth, I have been amazed at how much pagan influence is wielded through the educational and media systems. The hero’s in many children’s cartoons are named after pagan gods. Let’s take a look at one of the all time favorites, Superman, for a moment.

Almost no one sees the concept of Superman being portrayed as a type of messiah. He came from another world, the same as the true Messiah. He is imbued with super/extra-physical powers far beyond any human capabilities just as the true Messiah. He is portrayed as a saviour, trying to save the world from evil forces just as the true Messiah. He is made a hero for children to look up to in place of the true Messiah. Is it possible that the true intent of this simple cartoon was originally inspired to deceive rather than entertain? With Satan anything is possible. After all, how many false Messiahs has he raised up in the past, with he himself being one of them?

There is a book out called “Sixteen Crucified Saviors” written by Kersey Graves. Kersey Graves is an atheist and lumps Yahshua/”Jesus” in with all the other “mythical” messiahs. However, the information he brings out concerning the others is quite informative. What better method could Satan use than to flood the world with all sorts of counterfeit messiahs to obscure the reality of the true Messiah? After all, if a nation or religion already has a messiah whom they worship, what need is there for a Jewish Messiah? And what better method of deceiving children is there than to set up a host of cartoon heroes for them to look up to and idolize in place of the true Messiah. Are they trying to restore the pantheon of former pagan gods to be worshipped through cartoon characters?

Satan does not really care if the world does not knowingly worship him directly as god. In simply redirecting people’s attention and adoration away from YHVH and towards other fictitious characters, he has succeeded in his deceptive plan and ultimately if people are not worshiping YHVH they are automatically worshipping Satan anyway. His plan is ultimately to interfere with and hopefully destroy the plan that YHVH has purposed for mankind. Any path that leads humanity away from the true path to salvation and being a part of the new creation is advantageous to Satan’s plan, which is the destruction of mankind. After all, the success of YHVH’s plan, spells the destruction of Satan and all the fallen angels. Why would he not try his best to achieve the vistory?

When Yahshua came to earth, He fell far short of the expectations of the majority of the Jewish people. They were looking for a hero, just like the fictitious, pagan heroes that the rest of the world idolized. They expected a conqueror, who would save them from the oppression of Rome – a great military leader and king who would seize His global Kingdom right there and then. They did not understand the need for Him to “qualify” for that position first. Any king must be thoroughly trained for the job before he is coronated. The position that Yahshua was qualifying for was one that would lead the entire creation, both mankind and angels into the new creation. To qualify He had to first become one of the new creation Himself. Just as he was originally the firstborn of this creation, He also had to be firstborn of the new creation so that He might have preeminence in ALL things.

The Jews did not understand this concept and still do not understand it today. Therefore, they do not accept Yahshua as the Messiah, and still look toward His future coming to conquer the earth. The reality is that they are still looking toward the type of worldly hero that they have already invented in their carnal minds. Like the rest of the world that pretends to base all its beliefs on the Scriptures, they too read into YHVH’s words what their carnal minds want to hear.

The first century apostles proved Yahshua’s legitimacy through the words of the Scriptures. Even many amongst the Jewish priesthood converted when they realized the truth. Their powers of persuasion were so great that thousands of people were converted in a single day. This fact scared the daylights out of Satan and he had to quickly devise a plan to thwart the efforts of YHVH. What better method than to develop a counterfeit religion that appeared to worship YHVH and His Son, yet appealed to the carnal minds of most of humanity? Where Mithraism and the worship of Sol Invictus failed, the new Christian religion flourished. Mankind now had a saviour they could fathom, who perfectly fit the profile they already had in their minds. They made over the true Messiah, Yahshua, into their image – the image of their “Iesous” or “Jesus”. They teach their children to worship a physical “baby Jesus” rather than the gloriously resurrected Yahshua, the firstborn of the sons of YHVH into the new creation. For Him the creation process is complete. He has left the restrictive cocoon of the first creation and emerged like a beautiful butterfly into the second creation. He no longer depends on the Father for continuation of life. He now possesses inherent, eternal life, meaning that He is the generator of His own life that can never again be taken away from Him.

The Church of Rome and all her harlot daughters, Christianity, falls far short of teaching these truths to the world. They, instead, hold fast to Satan’s very first lie, that we will not “surely die” if we eat of the forbidden fruit – that we are already “gods” and capable of determining right from wrong on our own. The law is done away and we are free to sin. We are already saved and need do no more than to believe that their “Jesus” is the son of “God” and we will go directly to heaven when we die. We do not need to work on our spiritual condition or become obedient to the plain Scriptural teaching concerning the laws, customs and traditions of YHVH. Nothing could be further from the truth.

From its inception, the RCC has sought to stifle the true teachings of the faithful followers of Yahshua. At first they waged open war against the Judaisers using the Roman military might and the Roman law forbidding Judaising. Today, in nations where religious freedom or at least some tolerance is practiced, the RCC operates more subtly. They send their wolves amongst the sheep to sow seeds of doubt and rebellion. They gather any “dirt” on the members that they can use to discredit the whole group. They even send whores to entice male members to commit adultery. Read over the Seven Letters to the Seven Churches in the Book of Revelations and it will quickly become apparent that these methods were certainly employed by the Mithraic religion in the very early days of The Way of YHVH. Some of those assemblies were in serious danger of losing their salvation.

How does one lose his/her salvation? The liars teach that the law is gone and works are no longer required to “earn” one’s salvation. Yet the word “works” is used consistently in all seven of the letters in connection to the promise of salvation. They certainly read to me that the “promise” of salvation is definitely conditional upon obedience to the law and doing the works of the law. We demonstrate our faith by our works. These works of the law include observing the 7^th day Sabbath and all of YHVH’s annual holy days.

Recently the Vatican came out with its own calendar changing the order of days so that Sunday is listed as the seventh day. They have made the keeping of Christmas and Easter such a grand affairs that the economies of almost every Western nation depend on the observance of these holidays for its survival. In fact, they have created a global economic system (via the banking system) that virtually enslaves people to that system and makes it virtually impossible to survive outside of it.

The celebration of Christmas has become such a huge social event that one has great difficulty escaping from it. I have not kept Christmas for 28 years, and annually dread its coming. The radio stations make every 3^rd song a Christmas song. Almost every single television show and every film coming out around that time has something to do with Christmas. You cannot go anywhere without someone wishing you merry Christmas. The schools have removed public prayer from the schools, but not the celebration of Christmas or Easter. Our society values the material celebration of this festival more than the worship of the Creator. People actually go into debt so that they can give their children all of the things they put on their Christmas list. Everyone tries to outdo their neighbour when it comes to decorating their houses. It is only when you stop celebrating it that you clearly see the ridiculousness of it all. It has almost totally become a grand social event rather than having any association with worshipping the Creator of the universe. On Christmas day I usually just hide away, listening to my own favorite music or watching old DVDs and catching up on household chores and projects.

By contrast, the celebrating of YHVH’s annual holidays, the only ones commanded to be kept by the Scriptures, pass virtually unnoticed by the entire society save the Jewish community and the few true Believers that have fought their way out of the various Babylonian Mystery sects. These Holy Days can be “spiced up” with giving gifts, but it is definitely not on as grand a scale as Christmas. The focus is definitely more on the worship of YHVH than in the gift giving.

Many commentaries I have read on Mithraism claim that Mithraism borrowed its customs and doctrines from Christianity. This is apparently an easy claim to make since little evidence remains of the Mithraic Cult. However, anyone comparing the attributes of the Christian religion to that of the Jews should be able to quickly see that there is almost no affinity between the two. How strange is that? You have a Jewish Messiah, who’s only claim to messiahship was that He was in all ways obedient to YHVH (the Jewish Elohim) and always kept the Jewish faith traditions and laws. You have all of the Apostles and Believers of the first 3 centuries, even the Gentile Believers, following suit. You have Believers of Roman citizenship being persecuted, imprisoned and put to death for the Roman crime of Judaising for 300 years. Then all of a sudden the Christian religion emerges keeping a totally different and foreign set of doctrines and traditions and we are supposed to believe that Mithraism borrowed from Christianity? Come on now! Can anyone really be that stupid, not to recognize the fallacy in such a claim? And yet multiple millions do believe it and blindly follow this false, pagan religion (Christianity) to their eternal doom.

The Roman Catholic religion has made absolutely no effort to get their faith back on track with the Hebrew faith. They cling stubbornly to their false teachings, inventing one lie after another to cover up and continue in their false manor of worship. It was they who changed the name of the true Jewish Messiah to make Him more palatable to the Greco-Roman mind. English translators followed in their error, making no attempt to correct it. The name Yahshua is correctly translated as Joshua everywhere else in the English Bibles, but when it comes to the Saviour’s name, they translate from the corrupted Greek versions.

The Reformation did nothing to restore the Hebrew faith of the 1^st century assemblies. Rather, they continue to this day to worship the false god of Rome – Sol Invictus. Below is a picture of a Roman coin designed by Constantine before his supposed conversion. It continued to be minted after his phony conversion. The inscription reads, “Soli Invicto Comiti”, which means “Committed to the Invincible Sun”“

It was Constantine’s goal to blur all of the pagan religions into one “universal” religion. He continued to strive to destroy all Judaisers.

Messianic Judaisers today are almost as persecuted as they were back in Constantine’s day, both by Jews and Christians. They are branded a cult; a word that has taken on the connotation of being an occultist group. That’s pretty funny – the “queen” of occult calling True Believers a cult. This is definitely a world gone mad. Black is white and white is black. Truth has become as elusive and precious as gold. Almost the entire world worships Satan, the father of lies and murder, as the true Elohim, but to the true Elohim they do not give the time of day. True Believers are treated as social misfits while false worshippers languish in the luxury afforded to all who compromise with the national government. This madness will only end when Yahshua returns to set up His earthly Kingdom and restore the true faith, which I can guarantee you will be the same Hebrew faith that He introduced to Moses in His pre-incarnate form. The scales will at last fall from the eyes of the global majority and they will be amazed at how they were so deceived.

Commonly Misunderstood Writings of Saul

Since Saul was known as the apostle to the Gentiles, Christian Bible commentaries champion him as being the one responsible for first teaching that the law had been done away with. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many Christian doctrines plainly contradict Saul’s writings. I will present only a few examples here for the purpose of this study. The Christians teach that faith in their “Jesus” exempts one from keeping the law. Let’s examine a few passages from Paul’s writing to see if this claim is true

Rom. 3:31 - Do we then make void the law through faith? Elohim forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Clearly Paul did not believe that the law had been made void by faith in Yahshua. Rather, he states that the law is established through faith. By this he means that before Yahshua the law was kept primarily out of fear of punishment. After Yahshua, new converts to the faith were expected to have written the law on their minds and hearts, meaning that they kept the law out of love and a desire to please YHVH. They were striving to be of one mind with YHVH as Yahshua was. Since it was by obedience that Yahshua gained his inheritance, so shall his followers inherit their salvation by obedience, so as to demonstrate to YHVH that there is no corruption left in their hearts. They establish the law into their very nature so that even the thought to commit lawlessness does not enter their minds.

1 Tim.6:3 - If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our master, Yahshua the Messiah, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness (righteousness);

4 - He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

5 - Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness (righteousness): from such withdraw thyself.

We have read that Yahshua never once disobeyed YHVH in any shape or form. To have been righteous he needed to totally comply with the law that defines righteousness. Here Paul condemns those who twist the words of Yahshua for their own gain and teach others to do the same. This would include the entire Christian faith. Many assume that monetary gain is positive proof of spiritual reward. From what I have seen, it is more of a curse. I am sure that many who have attended a Christian church have witnessed what Paul means by “questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings”. I definitely did in the churches I have attended.

Indeed, there are times when the authority of the leadership needs to be challenged. After all, there is no man that is immune to corruption. Until we are reborn in the spirit, we are still corruptible. Therefore, there is a need to guard ourselves against corruption right up until the day we die. I have seen many examples of self-righteousness in the churches I have attended. Self-righteousness is a form of corruption and blinds one to any other opinion. Yahshua warned us of many things that could possibly lead to the loss of our salvation. We are to teach and do exactly as Yahshua did. If we teach anything contrary to the teachings of Yahshua, we might as well kiss our salvation goodbye.

By condemning Judaising, the Christian faith has condemned the Messiah as well, since he was the progenitor of the Hebrew faith and the law. It was by his example that he illuminated the path to salvation for the entire world and opened that door to the Gentiles. If we do not follow his example implicitly, we will never see salvation. We are to test everyone who comes to us with any new doctrine and see if their words stand up when compared to the teachings of YHVH and Yahshua.

2 Cor. 7:10 - For godly (spiritual) sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Spiritual sorrow is genuinely concerned about anything we have done in our past that was unrighteous or against the law of YHVH. After baptism one clearly needs to seek after all righteousness (compliance with the law of YHVH and writing those laws on our minds and hearts). Worldly sorrow is more like self-pity, where one is merely sorry that he/she has to pay the penalty for their crime. Spiritual sorrow seeks after the mind of YHVH, to be one with Him. Not one person who has ever lived, save the Messiah himself, can claim equal righteousness with YHVH. Until then we have nothing to boast of. By practicing spiritual obedience to the law we grow in knowledge in regards to knowing the mind of YHVH. Worldly sorrow seeks only after the approval and respect of worldly affluent people and material reward. Rather than seeking the mind of YHVH they run away from such knowledge. Ours is a spiritual inheritance and we must seek spiritual goals and spiritual rewards, many of which we will not realize until after we are resurrected. Yes, that is a long time off (at the end of the millennial rule of Yahshua on earth), but that is what faith is all about.

2 Cor. 10:3 - For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through Elohim to the pulling down of strong holds;)

4 - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of Elohim, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Messiah;

5 - And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Our world is filled with war and the desire to go to war. Such is not to be our desire. Our only weapons should be the words of our Messiah. Our only war should be against evil spiritual forces. There are many institutions that exalt themselves against the knowledge of YHVH. There is the medical, scientific, educational, government, military and even religious communities that set themselves up as being more knowledgeable than YHVH. We, who truly follow after the Messiah are to bring “every thought to the obedience of the Messiah”. What was it that Yahshua was obedient to, if not the law of YHVH? This could include not only the laws given to mankind but any laws unique to the angelic realm as well. After all, the angels also await a judgment, meaning that they must also be obedient to the law of YHVH else there would be no legal grounds upon which to judge them. Our future role, once our obedience is fulfilled (after the resurrection) will be to avenge all disobedience. We will never achieve that goal if we practice disobedience ourselves. The disobedient will NEVER see salvation.

2 Cor. 12:9 - And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of the Messiah may rest upon me.

10 - Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for the Messiah’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Paul was talking about an affliction he had I one of his eyes that caused him much aggravation. It was likely a reminder of when Yahshua blinded him on the road to Damascus. Paul had prayed endlessly for healing of this affliction but YHVH had denied him. The affliction was to remain as a reminder of his prior abuse of the Believers. This is how such an affliction can make one stronger spiritually.

Recently I lost everything I owned in a house fire. My two daughters (2 of 4) and myself were left with only the clothes on our backs. I had no home insurance at the time which really added to the setback (long story). I lost my computer and all my backup files and many valuable resource books that I used in my studies. Thanks to a very kind and generous community we were able to get back on our feet very quickly. It was absolutely the most humbling experience of my life, but at the same time it has caused me to examine myself and seek spiritual strengthening. Believe me, it is very difficult to not feel self-pity and hunger after all the physical things that were lost.

Eph. 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of Elohim: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

9 - For we are his workmanship, created in the Messiah, Yahshua, unto good works, which Elohim hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

The common understanding of “grace” is that it is “unmerited pardon”, or pardon that is underserved. Some argue how it can mean that when the NT claims that Yahshua was full of grace? How can the one and only man who was found without sin, be filled with unmerited pardon? He had done nothing to need pardoning of. My explanation is that Yahshua was empowered to forgive sin and grant grace to all who believed in him and turned their lives toward YHVH. Before the granting of grace, all were under the penalty of death and fully deserved it. All who believe in Yahshua HaMashiyack are fully pardoned of their past sins because of their faith. They do not deserve any credit for this, because it was YHVH who opened their eyes and minds to the truth in the first place. Without this all important key, the door of salvation would have never been opened to them. They would have been just as deaf, blind and dumb as all the other inhabitants of the earth. No one has anything to boast about.

What are the “good Works” Saul was speaking of? Are they not the DOING of the law or performing the works of the law? How can one perform the good works of the law if they believe that the law has been done away with? Those whose eyes have been opened to the truth of YHVH, know that the law makes one wise (like YHVH). Man naturally has a carnal mind, and the carnal mind is enmity or hostile against YHVH. By writing the laws of YHVH on our hearts and minds, we begin to take on the mind of YHVH, which we need to gain full salvation.

Gal. 3:21 - Is the law then against the promises of Elohim? Elohim forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 -But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Yahshua might be given to them that believe.

All are under sin and worthy of death. The law condemns each one of us. We all die the first death, but this is talking of the second and final death that will occur for many after the resurrection and judgment. Righteousness by the law only applies to those who keep both the law itself and the spiritual intent of the law. Those who obey the law purely out of fear of punishment or to achieve a sense of self-righteousness, completely miss the spiritual intent of the law, which is to demonstrate the love of YHVH toward each and every other human being on the face of the earth. If the law of YHVH is not against the promises of Yahshua (salvation and a spiritual inheritance), then it must be for them or compliment them. Therefore, they are still to be kept along with faith.

23 - But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 - Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto the Messiah, that we might be justified by faith.

It was Yahshua, in his pre-incarnate form, who delivered the law to Moses. The purpose was that through obedience to the law one would grow closer to the Lawgiver and when the appointed time came, they would believe on the Messiah. Then because of their faith they would receive grace. Therefore grace was unavailable to those who predeceased the Messiah. In those days the reaction to violating the law was swift and sure. Those who violated a law that was punishable by death were taken out right away and executed. Lesser crimes were punished by being made to pay retribution. If the perpetrator could not afford to pay the retribution, they had to enslave themselves to the victim until the retribution was fully paid. There was very little focus on the spiritual intent of the law. The focus was on the physical punishment for the crime instead. The unmerited pardon under the concept of grace is congruent only to the spiritual intent of the law. Previously there was no spiritual pardon and anyone breaking the physical law suffered the spiritual consequences as well – which is eternal death. There was no hope of salvation for them. Those who were punished by death had little time to repent of their sin. Perhaps they will be given that time to repent when resurrected to judgment. Does this mean that all who lived before Yahshua are lost to salvation? What about the great patriarchs like Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, etc? Are we to believe that they will not receive salvation? It is my belief that salvation is extended back to all who strived to live in faith since the beginning of time. It is revealed in the book of proverbs that it was known back then that YHVH already had a son.

Prov. 30:4 - Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?

Note that this verse is speaking in the present tense; therefore, it can be assumed that the son already existed. The writer of this proverb knew of this fact, so it only stands to reason that the great patriarchs knew as well. Christians love to put forth the concept that the Jews did not properly interpret the Scriptures. Indeed YHVH has “struck them blind” (spiritually speaking) because they denied Yahshua HaMashiyack. However, that does not mean that those who preceded them lacked such spiritual understanding. Even though the Jews in Yahshua’s day denied him, the apostles successfully proved his authenticity by the Sacred Scriptures - the Old Testament. The New Testament did not exist at the time. It was not “added” until the end of the 4^th century after the Mithraic/Christian church was already established. Remember also that it was the Mithraic/Christian church that canonized the New Testament (after they had plenty of time to alter and add and subtract form it). It was also them that put forth the Gnostic principle that the “god” of the Old Testament was an evil, mean “god” and the their “Christ God” was now in charge. It was they who claimed that the OT and its laws were done away with and the NT had taken over. The fact that the apostles proved the Messiah using the OT only proves that it is not only still in effect, but that it is more reliable and authoritative that the New Testament. If legally added, the NT should not have been distinguished from the OT.

25 - But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Just because we are no longer under the law because of our belief, does not mean that the law no longer exists. The only ones still under the law are those who remain disobedient to the law. Once baptized, the spiritual intent of the law should be realized and no thoughts of disobedience should remain. We can then see the glory that awaits us at the end of YHVH’s plan as well as the great love of YHVH that is demonstrated by the law. Therefore, we love the law (writing it upon our hearts and minds), not seeing it as oppressive any longer, and looking forward with great joy to fulfilling both the legal and spiritual requirements of the law. Basically we obey out of love for YHVH, knowing that obedience brings us closer to being one with our Creator, not out of fear of physical punishment.

26 - For ye are all the children of Elohim by faith in the Messiah Yahshua.

27 - For as many of you as have been baptized into the Messiah have put on the Messiah.

Putting on the Messiah means that we invite Yahshua to dwell inside our carnal bodies and live his life through us. We are to be perfect models of the Messiah, fully obedient to the Father as Yahshua was. That is what qualified him to be the perfect sacrifice for sin. That is also what qualifies us for eternal salvation. If we again return to a life of lawlessness and disobedience, we will most definitely be spewed out from the mouth of YHVH and lose out on our salvation. The apostle Paul is generally accredited with teaching that the law was done away. The Christians teach that faith in their “Jesus” exempts one from keeping the law.

Gal. 5:19 - Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 - Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 - Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of Elohim.

Here is the list of laws that if broken will cause one to lose out on their salvation. One must be careful after baptism, not to slip back into our previous areas of disobedience. If the law were done away with as the Christian churches fervently claim, there would be no standard by which to deny anyone salvation. As we can readily read in the seven letters to the seven churches in the Book of Revelation, there is definitely a chance for one to lose their promise of salvation, and those standards are written in the law. There the law must still be in effect.

22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 - Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

If already obedient to the law, one has no fear of the penalties of the law. Through faith, we learn to love the law, and take great pleasure in obedience. Therefore, we are no longer under the law. The law is only for those who break it. The love of YHVH is built into the law and all who truly love YHVH never think to disobey.

24 - And they that are the Messiah’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 - If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 - Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

We who are the Messiah’s have slain our fleshly bodies and live in the spirit, as if in YHVH’s glorious kingdom already. We already see ourselves as kings and high priests, loving the creation as YHVH does and desiring only to see YHVH’s plan for his creation realized.

1 Tim. 1:8 - But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

9 - Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly (unrighteous)and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

10 - For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

11 - According to the glorious gospel of the blessed Elohim, which was committed to my trust.

This is the gospel folks; the good news that Yahshua brought to this earth. The righteous (those who are fully obedient to YHVH in all ways) are no longer under the law because they now know that the secret to developing the love of YHVH in their own lives is based on the law. Therefore, they love the law and take great joy in performing the works of the law. The government-sanctioned Christian churches today tend to turn a blind eye to those who openly defile the law instead of putting them out of their midst. Some openly accept homosexuality and freely deliver their unborn babies to the abortionists to be sacrificed. They attempt to cover one sin with another. For such, salvation is as far removed as east is from west. In recent news it seems that more and more Catholic priests are being discovered practicing pedophilia. Yet the church tries to cover up and protect these lawless priests, rather than putting them out and condemning them. Of course, this situation is not common only to the Catholic Church, but to all her daughters also.

The majority of the population of the earth is under the deception of Satan. Is main instrument of deception is the Roman Catholic Church and indeed the whole Christian religion, through her harlot daughters. Soon the world is going to experience a unified world governmental order. There will be one global Roman government with one universal government recognized religion (the Roman Catholic Church). The harlot daughters, who are not far removed from the mother anyway, will willingly give themselves over to the universal church so as to avoid persecution. One again the truth is sacrificed out of fear of public persecution.

The Vatican is heavily behind this movement. The Vatican comprises the offices of both the beast and the false prophet. The office of the false prophet is held by the current “White Pope”, Pope Benedict, and the office of the Beast is held by the current “Black Pope”, Jesuit Superior General Adolfo Nicolas.

Conclusion

It is not fun being the “odd duck” in the pond, but that is exactly what true Believers are. The prophets of old, and indeed all who served YHVH faithfully in the past, have experienced the same distinction. Almost the entire world is traveling in the wrong direction, away from salvation, rather than toward it. The world sees true Believers as traveling the wrong way down a one way street, but the reality is that it is they (the world) that have gone astray. True Believers are like traffic cops, trying to redirect traffic onto the true path. However, just as the world ignored, persecuted and/or murdered all past messengers of YHVH, even killing the Saviour of mankind himself, so will they ignore, persecute and perhaps even murder us. Yet we must persevere in the pursuit of the full knowledge of the truth and reveal that truth to the world as witnesses thereof. The Christians persecute the Jews because they killed the Messiah. Yet it is prophesied that when Yahshua returns, the whole world will turn to fight against him, including the Global Christian church at the time.

There are actually four major historical events in which Satan can claim a decisive victory. The first was in the Garden of Eden when he first convinced man that he was already “God” or possessed an immortal soul; that he would not surely die if he disobeyed YHVH. He convinced man that eating from the forbidden tree would “open their eyes” and that they would become like “God” with the ability to determine right from wrong.

Even though YHVH soon showed them the error of their ways by bringing a flood on the earth that destroyed all life except for eight persons and the collection of animal life they had on board the ark, it was not long before they were going astray again.

The second major event occurred after the flood, when King Nimrod, the great grandson of Noah, established the Babylonian Mystery Religion in opposition to the true faith of Noah, and Shem after him. This religious system quickly took over the known world and dwarfed the number of true Believers. The four world ruling empires pictured in Daniel’s prophesy were Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. The spiritual understandings of all four were rooted in the Babylonian Mystery Religion. Similar to the future RCC, this religion set itself up as the official state religion of each empire. It survived by subtly changing its face with each new empire until it gained acceptance then (once accepted as the official religion of whichever empire) re-introduced its satanic doctrines and traditions and blended them into the pre-existing pagan beliefs of the empire.

The third event was the separation of Judah and Northern Israel. Judah remained faithful to YHVH (for a time) and in an effort to distance themselves from Judah, the northern ten tribes took on the beliefs of the Babylonian Mystery Religion that their pagan neighbours observed. They changed the dates of the annual holy days and changed the weekly Sabbath to Sunday, the official day of sun worship. They erected pagan monuments to worship and dedicated their own “holy” places of worship to direct all their citizens away from the temple in Jerusalem and away from worship of the true Creator. They even waged war against the true faith of YHVH and His followers. Although YHVH sent many messengers to warn them of their folly, they persisted in their false hope of salvation, killing the messengers YHVH sent.

The fourth event was when Gentile Believers decided to distance themselves from Jewish Believers. They too, took the beliefs of the Babylonian Mystery Religion and persecuted all true Believers. Of course some Gentile Believers remained faithful to the Way of YHVH to the end; however, their descendants eventually gave in and converted to the Babylonian system to escape persecution.

Christianity is NOT some new religion that Yahshua brought to mankind, as the majority of the world believes. It is the invention of a fourth century Roman Emperor, whose primary goal was to consolidate all the different religious beliefs within the empire’s boarders under one banner. That emperor was Constantine. He successfully blended them all into one unified faith, which was merely much the same as their former beliefs. Once again the Babylonian Mystery Religion survived, and the faith of true Believers was all but wiped out – another victory for Satan – another nail in the coffin for mankind.

Yahshua did not come to start a new religion. He already established His system of faith through Moses and the nation of Israel. He had already established a way for non-Israelites to become a part of that system – through proselizing. The very first Gentile converts were already going through the process of proselizing into the Hebrew faith, when they learned of Yahshua. Yahshua, himself, declared:

Matthew 5:17 - Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

18 - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 - Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 - For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. This phrase means that Yahshua did not come to destroy the faith that He formally created. Rather, He came to demonstrate the truth of YHVH’s words and His promises. He lived a life of total obedience to YHVH, qualifying himself as the perfect sacrifice for sin and was the first to receive the promises offered for such obedience. His was an example for the rest of the world to follow. Yet the majority of those who claim to be followers of the Messiah, do anything but follow his example. Rather they follow the path of the Babylonian Mystery Religion that leads to eternal damnation and death.

Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

The meaning of this verse is really quite simple – for anyone who knows anything concerning the Jewish method for transcribing the law. The law that is being talked about here is naturally the Jewish law. What other law would they be talking about?

Naturally, there were no printing presses around at the time, so everything had to be copied by hand. One of the tasks of every king of Judah was to transcribe the law of YHVH himself, so as to acquaint him more thoroughly with it. The scribes assigned a number at the end of each verse, which was the sum total of numerical value of each letter in the line. If the numbers did not match, the scribe had to go back and determine where he had erred. The only way they could change a word was if the numerical value remained the same.

Jamieson, Facett and Brown translate “jot” and “tittle” as follows;

“one jot--the smallest of the Hebrew letters.

one tittle--one of those little strokes by which alone some of the Hebrew letters are distinguished from others like them.”

End of quote.

So, in other words, neither the smallest letter nor the smallest stroke of a letter would be changed. Not changed till when? It will not be changed until heaven and earth passes away, or until all (the entire plan of YHVH) is fulfilled. According to the book of Revelation, our present heaven and earth will pass away just as YHVH is descending to earth to rule for all eternity. This will be after the millennial rule of Yahshua, which will be after the end of this present age. According to the Roman calendar this age will end on December 21, 2012. According to the Hebrew calendar, there are still over 200 years to go until the 6,000 years allotted to mankind are complete. At the end of the millennial rule of Yahshua (at the end of 7,000 years) the cleansing of the earth by fire will occur, when everything that is corruptible will be burnt up. Only those things that are incorruptible will remain. YHVH will then establish His throne or seat of authority upon the earth, thereby creating heaven on earth. The earth will be changed from a physical to a spiritual sphere where nothing that is corruptible can exist. Anything corruptible that comes into contact with the earth after that time will instantly be destroyed by fire.

except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees,

How do you suppose that righteousness calculated? Would there not have to be some sort of measuring stick? Common sense should tell anyone that the measuring stick would be the degree of obedience one extends to YHVH. Such obedience is determined by a set of rules or laws. This is so simple that even a child should be able to figure it out. Yet so many are deceived or just complacent concerning the law – they are either truly deceived or just don’t care. Can anyone imagine the leader of any of our nations declaring, “Ok, the law is done away with. Everyone can do what they please.” There would be utter chaos and destruction. People cannot function as a society without laws. Why? Because it is human nature to automatically oppose the law. We all like to decide for ourselves what is right and wrong. This mindset goes right back to the Garden of Eden when Satan told Eve that she would not “surly die” if she ate the forbidden fruit – that it would make her wise like YHVH and they would be able to distinguish for themselves right from wrong. Our kind has been suffering the consequences ever since.

The scribes and Pharisees were known for their strict observance of the law. However, Yahshua often called them hypocrites because they taught one thing and practiced another. They certainly bent the law quite a bit to have him crucified. Therefore, our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. That means that our actions must match the dictates of the law. When one hears the law, it is not enough to say, “Oh yeah, that’s nice.” One has to come under total obedience to the law, and such obedience is confirmed by action. We not only have to talk the talk, by we also have to walk the walk.

ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

How much clearer can anyone make this? If our righteousness does not exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, we will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. If we do not follow the law to the smallest letter and stroke of a letter, any hope of salvation that we have will go up in smoke. One has to be either mentally deficient or seriously deceived not to understand these simple equations.

Obedience to the law = righteousness.

Disobedience to the law = unrighteousness

Righteousness =eternal salvation

Unrighteousness = eternal death

There are 613 laws in the Hebrew faith. A portion of them refer to the temple laws, which cannot be kept because there is presently no temple. There rest are laws that govern our conduct as a society. These can and must be kept.

We are still living under the umbrella of Roman society. Even if not spelt out in our criminal codes, we are still living under the ancient Roman law that forbids Judaising. It is commonly understood in the Christian religion (no matter what denomination) that they are not permitted to follow the customs and traditions of the Jews. It is also understood in the Christian religion that the first day of the week, SUNDAY, is to be kept as the weekly Sabbath, not the seventh day (SATURDAY). This was also a decree of Emperor Constantine and has absolutely no scriptural legitimacy. The purpose behind these two laws was solely to unify the Empire under one religion. These are the main principals that distinguish a Jew from a Christian. Jews keep the laws of the Old Testament, Christians do not. One is righteous and one is not, according to the equations listed above. One is headed towards salvation, one is not. However, one other condition has been added, which is belief in Yahshua the Messiah. That is where the Jews fall short. The Christians believe in the Messiah, but refuse to follow in His Jewish footsteps. They profess their belief in him, yet do not follow his example. The two must go hand in hand to equal salvation. Therefore, those of us who have searched for and found the truth, are caught somewhere in the middle, neither a Jew (by Jewish standards) nor a Christian (by Christian standards).

The followers of YHVH in the first century merely referred to their faith as The Way of YHVH and themselves as Believers. The Way of YHVH requires no physical buildings for a temple, for the people (sons and daughters of YHVH) are living temples, set apart and kept holy. We are each a priest (both men and women) before Yahshua, the High Priest. We have no need of a church or assembly to stand on our own two feet before the Almighty, Living Elohim. The door has been opened for us to have open complete access to the Creator of all life, like Yahshua has. When fully of one mind with the Father and Yahshua, He will work His miraculous powers through us, just as He did through Yahshua. Can you imagine every truth seeker on the earth, all working the mighty miracles of YHVH and with our glory shinning like the face of Moses (the only scriptural proof of being filled with holy spirit) radiating outward into all the earth? This is what YHVH intended for His sons and daughters. The fact that we are not even close to achieving this vision, should wake everyone up to the fact that we still have a way to go to fill Yahshua’s shoes and the glorious future that YHVH has purposed for us.

As for the Christian Faith, it began and will end with the Roman Catholic Church. It began like a flower (appealing, aromatic, and nurturing). A flower starts with a single bud. Its existence is due to the flour of its mother being pollinated by a male plant, whereby two became one. This is similar to the union of Mithraism and Sol Invictus to form the Christian (RCC) church. Then the flower opens exposing her multiple pedals for the entire world to see. When the Christian flower opened (the restoration) multiple pedals evolved (the harlot daughters – non-Catholic denominations). Before the coming of the Messiah, the flower will once again close as all the pedals of the Christian church become one again. When Yahshua returns, the flower of Christianity (Mystery Babylon) will quickly wither and die. In its place a tree will grow and produce 12 different types of fruit in all seasons. This tree will never die. This tree, of course, represents Yahshua, the first of the Creation to see YHVH’s plan for mankind to its fruition and shines as a beacon calling us to the security and comfort of his waiting arms. He is no longer a receiver of life only. He is now a giver of life also and he desires to give life to as many as possible. To receive it all we need to do is open our hearts and embrace the word of YHVH and the example of Yahshua, our eldest brother.

The world is going to be left astonished at the demise of the Babylonian Mystery Religion. This ancient religion spread its satanic seeds throughout all the earth, poisoning the minds of every living soul. Only a few of every generation were set apart for special service to YHVH. Every pagan religion on earth is rooted in the Babylonian Mysteries. YHVH’s purpose in confusing the language at the Tower of Babylon was to scatter and weaken this religion. It lived on in spite of its weakness. It remains the staunchest opponent to the Way of YHVH as the faith of the false prophet – the Roman Catholic Church.

The Vatican is definitely going to reap the fruit of its labour. That fruit will be death and destruction. Out of its ashes, the world will change, under the rule of Yahshua, into a place of little suffering and of peace. And yet, at the end of Yahshua’s one thousand year rule, Mystery Babylon will raise its ugly head once more, for a short time. Then it will be destroyed for all of eternity as the earth is purified by spiritual fire that destroys all that is corruptible. After this YHVH will come down to earth to dwell among us for all of eternity and we will bring life to and rule over the universe with Him. With such a glorious future before us, why would anyone not follow the True Living Creator and His Messiah.

After this study, we all have a choice to make. Are we going to throw off all the chains of deception and seek our own salvation or are we going to continue to follow a fourth century Roman emperor who merely re-dressed the Babylonian Mystery religion, giving us Christianity. The choice is ours.

YHVH Bless
