RESTORATION - 20 May 2019 (The Fountain of Living Waters) by Celia Joy Martins

 

So many people (of which I was once part of also)  - God-fearing people - are TRAPPED - CHAINED - in BONDAGE - in a NETWORK of DECEPTION - a deception that came upon mankind right in the beginning when Adam and Eve SINNED in the *Garden of Yahweh God by BEING DISOBEDIENT to the COMMANDS of YAHWEH their YAH.

 

(*Gen. 2:8 "And Yahweh planted a GARDEN toward the EAST, in Eden [delight]; and THERE He PUT the MAN WHOM HE had FORMED ...")

 

Deut. 11:13 "So  IF you CAREFULLY OBEY the COMMANDMENTS ... and SERVE YAH with ALL your HEART and with ALL your SOUL ..."

 

John 14:15 "If you LOVE Me, KEEP My COMMANDS"

 

John 15:10 "IF you KEEP My COMMANDMENTS, you will REMAIN IN My LOVE, just as I have KEPT My Father's COMMANDS and REMAIN in His LOVE."

 

DISOBEDIENCE:

Right there in the Garden of Delight (Eden), the SERPENT STEPPED in DECEIVING EVE into THINKING that SHE COULD BECOME just LIKE her CREATOR, and she was DISOBEDIENT, and she DID what SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE and ALSO GAVE to ADAM, and he ALSO was DISOBEDIENT and DID what HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE.

 

The RESULT was CATASTOPHIC - CONSEQUENCES for DISOBEDIENCE:

Adam and Eve's DISOBEDIENCE had HUGE CONSEQUENCES.

 

1. The SIN of DISOBEDIENCE DROVE THEM from the PRESENCE of YAHWEH, their heavenly Father:

In Gen. 3:10 we receive a picture of the INTIMATE (COVENANT) RELATIONSHIP Adam (and Eve) had with YAH (God) - that was DAMAGED with SIN, when Adam said  "... I heard Your voice in the garden ... and I HID myself"

 

HEAVENLY DIVINE CLOTHES:

It is clear that the PRESENCE of YAHWEH God, was a HEAVENLY and DIVINE "COVERING" that were UPON them - it CLOTHED them and they did not have the need for physical clothes. 

 

Their heavenly CLOTHES must have been marvelous, indescribable in beauty, and they LOST it with being DISOBEDIENT.

 

2. FEAR SETTLED on THEM:

With them SINNING - FEAR ENCIRCLED them - then  SETTLED UPON them.

 

They were AFRAID for the VERY PRESENCE of YAHWEH God that CLOTHED them - WAS GONE. They were NAKED and ALONE WITHOUT Him. (Gen. 3:10 "... I heard Your voice in the garden, and I WAS AFRAID ... and I HID myself).

 

3.  THEY WERE DRIVEN from their HOME:

Gen. 3:24 "So Yahweh DROVE OUT the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden ... and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life."

 

4. PERSONAL CONSEQUENCES for the SIN of EVE: (Gen. 3:16)

a. SORROW and PAIN in CHILDBIRTH

b. A DESIRE for her HUSBAND instead of a DESIRE for YAHWEH God.

c. Because of her DESIRE for her HUSBAND, the HUSBAND shall RULE OVER her.

 

5. PERSONAL CONSEQUENCES for the SIN of ADAM: (Gen. 3:17-19)

a. CURSED is the GROUND.

b. TOIL (LABOR) and HARSHIP in WORKING the GROUND for THORNS and THISTLES it shall BRING FORTH.

d. In the SWEAT of your FACE you shall EAT BREAD till you RETURN to the GROUND. For DUST are YOU and to DUST you SHALL RETURN.

 

RELATIONSHIP has to BE RESTORED:

Right in the very beginning with man (Adam and Eve) LIVING in the GARDEN of YAHWEH God, SATAN SUCESSFULLY BROUGHT SEPARATION between ADAM and EVE and YAHWEH - and RUINED the INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP YAHWEH GOD had with MANKIND - THIS IS WHAT HAS TO BE RESTORED.

 

DISOBEDIENCE STILL BRINGS SEPARATION:

Our DISOBEDIENCE STILL BRINGS SEPARATION - is A LOCKED DOOR between US AND our FATHER in heaven. This is what Yahshua came to RECTIFY ... HE CAME  to DESTROY the WORKS of the DEVIL (1 John 3:8).

 

 1 John 3:8 "For he who commits sin is of the DEVIL and takes his CHARACTER from the EVIL ONE, for the DEVIL SINNED and VIOLATED the DIVINE LAW from the BEGINNING. For THIS REASON the SON of YAH (God) was MANIFESTED, that HE might DESTROY, LOOSEN and DISSOLVE, the WORKS of the DEVIL." (AMPC).

 

Father, You say in Your Word, that those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the SHADOW of the ALMIGHTY. (Ps. 91:1). You say, "I WILL NEVER FAIL you. I will NEVER ABANDON you." (Heb. 13:5). O Abba, I pray that   ALL who PROFESS Your NAME - will accept that this is only possible if we live in a COVENANT INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with You - a RELATIONSHIP founded on MESSIAH ... a RELATIONSHIP of LOVE and in OBEDIENCE  ... OBEDIENCE to YOUR WORD and YOUR COMMANDS. Help us Father to DO JUST THAT. In the wonderful, GLORIOUS NAME of YOUR SON, and through the HOLY SPIRIT of YAHSHUA our MESSIAH. Amen.  

​

 

LOVE (AGAPE – PHILIO – EROS and STORGE)  - A LIFESTYLE that BRINGS HEALING - (Ref. 24419)

 

 

Although there are FOUR KINDS of LOVE that are MENTIONED in SCRIPTURE, all four are translated into the English language as ONE WORD (or term) called "LOVE".

 

TO BE ONE:

In the COVENANT RELATIONSHIP of MARRIAGE - the MOST SACRED THING ABBA GAVE us here on earth - ALL FOUR of THESE KINDS of LOVE are IMPORTANT. AGAPE LOVE [in the MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP] PULLS ALL THREE the OTHERS TOGETHER into ONE - HOLDING IT ALL TOGETHER. When AGAPE LOVE is LOST in MARRIAGE LIFE, the other THREE  FELL APART.

 

1. AGAPE  (LOVE):

Agape is a GODLY LOVE. It is a "COMPLETE and COMPREHENSIVE" kind of LOVE -   UNSELFISH - the total opposite of SELF-LOVE - it is aimed outwards as an UNSELFISH CONCERN for the WELFARE of OTHERS and the WELFARE of YOUR WIFE or HUSBAND and your CHILDREN.

 

IT is a LIFESTYLE that BRINGS HEALING:

Agape love is to KEEP FOCUSING on Messiah Yahshua -  "beaming out" His love to others ...

 

It is a "HELPING EACH OTHER" love, a love that is PERMANENT and ENDURING - a love that is a LIFE-STYLE ASSOCIATED with MENTAL and PHYSICAL HEALTH, RESTORATION and WHOLENESS in the ENTIRE BEING (SPIRIT - SOUL and BODY).

 

Agape is CO-OPERATIVE - AVAILABLE at all times - SIGNALS the INTENTIONS - BUILDS PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS - BUILDS SOCIAL NEEDS and SHIELDS, SUSTAINS and ENRICHES.

 

AGAPE is ABBA'S LOVE IN US as expressed in 1 CORINTHIANS 13:

His Agape (love) is UNSELFISH;

ENDURING;

PATIENT;

KIND;

SELFLESS;

NEVER ENVIOUS;

DOES not BOIL over with JEALOUSY;

Is NOT VAINGLORIOUS;

It is CONSIDERATE;

Is NOT BOASTFUL;

Is NOT HAUGHTY;

Is NOT ARROGANT;

Is NOT RUDE and UNMANNERLY;

Does NOT ACT UNBECOMINGLY;

Does NOT INSIST on its OWN RIGHTS or its OWN WAY;

Is NOT TOUCHY;

Is NOT SELFSEEKING nor RESENTFUL;

It is THROUGHTFUL;

GENTLE;

SYMPATHATIC;

KIND-HEARTED;

FORGIVING;

BIG-HEARTED;

OPEN-HANDED;

COMPASSIONATE;

CARING ...

IT IS NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the EVIL DONE to it;

It PAYS NO ATTENTION to a SUFFERED WRONG;

It does NOT REJOICE at INJUSTICE;

Is EVER READY to BELIEVE the BEST of EVERY PERSON;

REJOICES when RIGHT and TRUTH PREVAIL;

It BEARS UP UNDER EVERYTHING;

Its HOPES are FADELESS under ALL CIRCUMSTANCES;

IT ENDURES EVERYTHING without WEAKENING. (1 Cor. 13:1-8)

 

 

2. EROS LOVE = ROMANTIC LOVE 

According to ancient Greek terminology it is a form of MADNESS brought about by ONE OF "CUPID'S" ARROWS much as in the Greek story of  Paris who fell in love with Helen - a doomed love that led to the Trojan War - the downfall of Troy and much of the assembled Greek army.

 

EROS has many forms. It is a PASSION - a LOVE-"SICKNESS"  - a  DESIRE to POSSESS - a FEELING - SENSUALITY and it need to be SUBJECTED to AGAPE in a MARRIGE RELATIONSHIP - to make it PURE.

 

EROS LOVE easily DISTORTS into LUST:

Eros can LUST for POSSESSIONS - It can be an ATTITUDE or WAY of THINKING - a "BURNING" DESIRE of PURE LUST or a COMMANDING and SELFISH LOVE in MARRIAGE - but - in the marriage covenant of love - it is the ONLY PLACE where it CAN BRING FULFILLMENT within the BOUNDARIES of MARRIAGE given that it SUBJECTS ITSELF to AGAPE.

 

3. PHILIO LOVE = FRIENDSHIP or BROTHERLY LOVE - A TRUSTING LOVE:

PHILEO is a friendship-love founded on GOODNESS - it is a RATIONAL love - RIGHTEOUS, HONORABLE, MORAL and HONEST with the MUTUAL BENEFIT of COMPANIONSHIP, DEPENDABILITY and TRUST.

 

In the MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP - Phileo-love - AGAPE-love and Eros-love connect - feeding each other - transforming into a 'shared desire' for a higher level of understanding of 'SELF' if AGAPE LOVE is the PROMINENT FACTOR.

 

WILLING to CHANGE and to BE CHANGED:

Phileo + AGAPE -  TRANSFORMS EROS into a new way of thinking and living life taking the SELF out of the WAY  to live lives FULLER and TRUER in RELATING to EACH OTHER FAITHFULLY and DEPENDABLY - TEACHING EACH OTHER about the LIMITATIONS of their BELIEFS and also their  CHARACTER DEFECTS - A GIVE and TAKE SITUATION - more OPENNESS and INSIGHT both WILLING to CHANGE and to be CHANGED.

 

4. STORGE-LOVE:

"STOR-GAE" -  a FAMILY LOVE pertaining to the LOVE BETWEEN PARENTS and their CHILDREN.  It is a TENDING LOVE - a CARING LOVE - a FONDNESS that does not have anything to do with our PERSONAL QUALITIES. In STORGE - AGAPE is the GLUE that STICK the FAMILY TOGETHER in a FAMILY UNITE well-pleasing to YAHWEH.

 

 

COUNTERFEIT LOVE-SPIRITS FUNCTIONING in the WORLD TODAY:

1. LUDUS ('LOVE'):

As a FOUL and SEDUCING evil spirit, Ludus is  UNCOMMITTED  and TEMPORARY - operating in TEASING - FLIRTING and SEDUCING. 

 

In its SELFISH AGENDA it will PLAY the "LOVE" GAME with only SELFISH INTENTS to GET what it WANTS. It can be SHORTLIVED or LONG-LASTING - all depending on the SELFISH INTENT. It can SHAPE-SHIFT into a EROS "mutant" or be like  PHILEO ... but can NEVER be AGAPE.

 

2. PRAGMA LOVE:

Pragma feeds on "PRACTICAL" LOVE founded on REASON or DUTY and SELF'S LONG-TERM INTERESTS.

 

Personal quality, looks, compatibility, shared goals and 'making' it work - is its forte. It is living in a relationship by turning a "BLIND EYE" - a PRE-ARRANGED MARRIAGE etc.

 

3. PHILAUTIA LOVE:

This 'love' is an ARROGANT love,

HAUGHTY;

PROUD;

VAIN & VAINGLORIOUS;

SELF-IMPORTANT;

SELF-CONCEIT;

SNOBBERY;

SELF-INFLATED;

FEELING of SUPERIORITY;

EXCESSIVE PRIDE;

BIG-HEADED;

NARCISSISTIC ...

 

It is HUBRIS in Greek describing a PERSONALITY QUALITY of EXTREME FOOLISH PRIDE or DANGEROUSLY OVER CONFIDENCE. It is an EXTREME FORM of ARROGANCE and in its "HUBRIS" FORM it is SO ARROGANT that it EVEN CHALLENGES the GODS or stands IN REBELLION to YAHWEH or the PAGAN GODS.

 

IT BREACHES ITS LIMITS:

In its "HUBRIS" form it is BREACHING its LIMITS - standing in TRANSGRESSION AGAINST YAHWEH [or the pagan gods].

 

In the SCIENTIFIC WORLD TODAY, THIS is the AREA in which the modern SCIENTISTS are FUNCTIONING ... an OVERESTIMATION of their OWN COMPETENCY, ACCOMPLISHMENTS or CAPABILITIES  MIXED with ARROGANCE in scientific horrible abominational experiments.

 

These experimentations have reached terrifying proportions. Genetic manipulation, Robotics and Synthetic Biologies are experimented on now for many  years. Man has become his OWN GOD in CREATING his own monstrosities, while declaring ...  and I quote:

"Christians are paranoid fundamentalists, ranting against these scientific practices ...they are  'whack-jobs' hanging on Theological 'fringes'." (Dr. James Hughes, Transhuman & Spirituality Conference 2010)

 

TRANSHUMANISM'S NEW CREATORS:

Transhumanism is alive and well as  leading laboratories worldwide, ACADEMIC and INDUSTRIAL new "CREATORS" are CONFIDENTLY BUILDING UP their "POWERS" and on the street their TRANSHUMAN EVANGELISTS are PROPHESYING an ADVANCE POSTHUMAN FUTURE.

 

WHAT IS TRANSHUMANISM?

Transhumanism is an INTERNATIONAL PHILOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT advocating TRANSFORMATION of the HUMAN - believing that mankind (the human race or species) in its current FORM is NOT THE END of our DEVELOPMENT - but that we are all in a RATHER COMPARATIVELY EARLY PHASE.

 

It is the belief that the HUMAN RACE can EVOLVE BEYOND its CURRENT PHYSICAL and MENTAL LIMITATIONS, especially by MEANS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - something like the EVOLUTION theories.

 

FOOLISHLY they want to LIVE LONGER!

Scientists marvel at the capabilities of research on this subject, claiming that transhumanism is BASICALLY A WORLDVIEW and that it was DEVELOPED BY THOSE WHO BASICALLY WANT TO LIVE LONGER!

 

Scientific research had PUSHED mankind (humanity) into:
GENETIC NANNO TECHNOLOGY - RESHAPING our MINDS AND BODIES inclusive of our OFFSPRING in a universal worldly aim in CREATING a WHOLE NEW FORM OF PEOPLE.

 

IN SHORT:

Transhumanism is WORSHIPPING of the HUMAN BEING. It is INTENDING to "PERFECT" the HUMAN BEING in CREATING a MORE PERFECT HUMAN RACE.

 

Attach to it is the "SUPER" MAN - the "MIGHTY" MEN - the "NEW" MAN MENTALITY and it is ALL ANTICHRIST TALK - the TALK of the LAWLESS ONE ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

FIGHTING the GOOD FIGHT of SAVING FAITH and the "SELF" (Ref 230419)

 

With the "church" in a deep spiritual SLEEP, the 'shepherds' of faith's eyes blinded and ears deafened, the Christendom is turning into a NARCISISTIC "MODEL" - where it is ALL ABOUT the 'SELF' and SELFISHNESS!

 

This tendency is not only unique to the Christendom, but has a worldwide full blown impact on social life.

 

Absorbed in "SELF" there are several CONTRIBUTING FACTORS.

 

ADMIRATION for "SELF" and the IMAGES today found on the social media is all about "SELF" -  SELF-JUSTIFICATION, SELF-LOVE, SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-HONOR, SELF-APPRECIATION, SELF-VALUE, SELF ... SELF ... SELF   ... and then the BLOW is given ... "You  HAVE to LOVE YOURSELF before you can LOVE OTHERS!".  But this is not what Scripture tells us.

 

2 Timothy 3 tells us that IN THE LAST DAYS, men shall be LOVERS OF THEIR OWN SELVES ... COVETOUS ... BOASTERS ... PROUD ... BLASPHEMERS ... DISOBEDIENT to PARENTS ... UNTHANKFUL ... UNHOLY ... WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION ... TRUCEBREAKERS ... FALSE ACCUSERS ... INCONTINENT ... FIERCE ... DESPISERS of what is GOOD!.  They will be BETRAYERS, INFLATED with SELF-CONCEIT, LOVERS of SENSUAL PLEASURES and VAIN AMUSEMENTS, LOVERS OF MONEY and AROUSED by GREEDY DESIRES for WEALTH, PROUD, SCOFFERS, UNHOLY and PROFANE.

 

These people are not the WORLD and the WORLDLY that are being TALKED ABOUT ... it is the "CHURCH" and the MINISTERS of FAITH ... for verse 5 of 2 Tim. 3 says, "For ALTHOUGH they HOLD A FORM of TRUE BELIEVES, (PIETY, true religion), THEY DENY and REJECT and ARE STRANGERS to the POWER of it and their OWN CONDUCT BELIES the GENUINENESS of their PROFESSION." (as ministers of faith also).

 

THIS IS A VERY VERY SERIOUS SITUATION:

1970's - THE DOCTRINE OF SELF-LOVE:

Since the 1970's the POPULAR DOCTRINE of "SELF-LOVE" has been PREACHED and FLOWED into the CHRISTENDOM ('CHURCH') when the "NEW ENLIGHTENMENT" THEOLOGY CONTAMINATED the CHURCH and was put in TURBO BOOST by TAKING the LAW of YAHWEH AWAY replacing it with the New Testament "LOVE-COMMAND".

 

With this "LOVE COMMAND" that has now became the "LAW" Christian Book Stores were now SELLING SELF-LOVE BOOKS by various Christian Authors such as:

LOVE YOURSELF;

The ART of LEARNING to LOVE YOURSELF;

CELEBRATE YOURSELF;

YOU'RE SO SPECIAL;

YOU ARE BETTER THAN YOU THINK;

LOVING YOURSELF;

The CHRISTIAN LOOKS at HIMSELF;

YOUR BETTER SELF;

IMPROVING your SELF-IMAGE;

BUILDING a CHILD'S SELF-ESTEEM;

SELF-LOVE;

ONE of A KIND - A BIBLICAL VIEW of SELF-ACCEPTANCE;

The BIBLICAL VIEW of SELF-ESTEEM;

SELF-LOVE - SELF-IMAGE;

BUILDING an ADEQUATE SELF-CONCEPT;

The SENSATION of BEING SOMEBODY;

LEARN to LOVE YOURSELF;

DON'T BLAME it ALL ON ADAM, SELF-LOVE: The DYNAMIC FORCE OF SUCCESS;  etc.

 

With people flocking to the Christian Book Stores attaining their copies ... it HELPED BUILT the SELF and the SELF ESTEEM IDEOLOGY within Christendom worldwide. These mindsets flowed into the entertainment world, movies and music, and worst of all the EDUCATION ARENA where our children were targeted. Then it flowed into the WORKPLACE and into PSYCHOLOGICAL JOURNALS and BECAME to a HUGE EXTENT, the MORALS of  WESTERN IDEOLOGY and THEOLOGY.

 

SO WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT?

FOCUS SHIFTED:

The EFFECTS of these DOCTRINES have SHIFTED the DIRECTION of our FOCUS from OUTWARD YAH-INTEREST to INWARD SELF-INTEREST - it is all about the ME, the MYSELF and the I.

 

Our FOCUS should be ON THE WORD of YAHWEH:

In living our FAITH, our FOCUS should be on the WORD of YAHWEH God and HIS CHARACTER, but instead it has now been DISTORTED to HONOR a DOCTRINE of SELF - and FAITH in ONESELF.

 

FAITH in ONESELF:

Our whole existence should be to HONOR YAHWEH, to LIVE a LIFE WELL-PLEASING to Him, but in REALITY we have BECOME our OWN GODS, honoring ourselves and live a life well-pleasing to OURSELVES.

 

When living for oneself, is PLAYING a DESTRUCTIVE ROLE in FAMILY LIFE. Instead of functioning in a WELL-CONNECTED FAMILY-UNIT, families  become FRACTURED and DISENGAGED as we put ourselves before and against the life of others with our SELF-INTEREST, SELF-LOVE and SELFISHNESS. Furthermore, we SHIFT the DIRECTION of our INDIVIDUAL'S FOCUS of CARING for EACH OTHER.

 

THINK of YOURSELF with SOBER JUDGMENT:

The apostle Paul says in Rom. 12:3 "For by the GRACE GIVEN me I say to EVERY ONE of you: DO NOT THINK OF YOURSELF HIGHER than YOU OUGHT, but RATHER THINK of YOURSELF with SOBER JUDGMENT, in ACCORDANCE with the MEASURE of FAITH YAHWEH HAS GIVEN you."

 

BE DEVOTED to EACH OTHER in BROTHERLY LOVE:

Paul tells us to have mutual brotherly love for each other. A tenderness and and affectionate mindset toward each other as would be found in a loving caring family.

 

BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES:

We should place VALUE on others' lives and PUT THEM BEFORE YOUR SELF-LIFE - giving PREFERENCE to ONE ANOTHER - TAKING DELIGHT in HONORING EACH OTHER, above OURSELVES - EXCELL in SHOWING RESPECT to EACH OTHER.

 

Rom 12:10 "Be devoted to one another in BROTHERLY LOVE. HONOR ONE ANOTHER ABOVE YOURSELF."

 

Phil 2:1-5 "Therefore if there is any consolation in Messiah Yahshua, if any comfort of love, if any FELLOWSHIP in the Spirit, if ANY AFFECTION and MERCY, FULFILL my joy by BEING LIKE-MINDED, HAVING THE SAME LOVE, BEING of ONE ACCORD, of ONE MIND. Let NOTHING be DONE THROUGH SELFISH AMBITION or CONCEIT, but in LOWLINESS of MIND LET EACH ESTEEM OTHERS BETTER than HIMSELF.

Let EACH of you LOOK OUT not ONLY for YOUR OWN INTERESTS, but ALSO for the INTERESTS of OTHERS. LET THIS MIND be IN YOU, WHICH WAS ALSO in MESSIAH YAHSHUA."

 

LOWLINESS OF MIND:

Biblical teachings to be "LOWLY of MIND" means to have a CORRECT ATTITUDE of MIND. A HUMBLE OPINION of ONESELF and a DEEP SENSE of ONE'S MORAL "littleness".

 

HONORING OTHERS:

Honoring others is only possible IF we ALLOW the MIND of our MESSIAH to DRENCH our LIVES so RADICALLY through His INDWELLING Spirit that we are COMPLETELY TAKEN OVER by Him to be able to have the same "HEART-ATTITUDE" and "LOVE" of ABBA our FATHER.

 

Abba, today we want to LAY DOWN the SELF. We want to FOCUS on YOU and on our SAVIOR, YAHSHUA our REDEEMER - O Holy SPIRIT COME DWELL IN US - O YAHSHUA COME DWELL IN US - TAKE over our ENTIRE BEINGS - our ENTIRE EXISTENCE - so that we can be WELL-PLEASING to YOU - well-pleasing in ALL of our CONDUCT - WORDS and DEEDS. Father FORGIVE us our SELFISHNESS - for PUTTING OURSELVES before OTHERS ... trying to PLEASE the SELF. Forgive us for even putting ourselves before YOU. Help us Father, to KEEP ON FOCUSSING ONLY ON YOU. In Yahshua Messiah's name. Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MISSING OUT on YAHWEH'S APPOINTED TIMES -

THE PASSOVER FEAST (Ref. 0419)

​

For years now I am relying on the traditional Jewish Calendar (or the Hebrew Calendar) in determining the actual (annual) dates of Abba's 7 feasts - on the Roman Gregorian Calendar that we all use today.

 

This is no easy thing to do, for the Roman Gregorian Calendar is shifting around each year, with February only 28 days, every fourth year a 29th day - and it is based on the SOLAR movement - a sun-calendar, while the Jewish Calendar is said to be a LUNAR (moon) calendar

 

We all know by now, that Abba's Feasts are SET on DATES that do NOT MOVE AROUND. But, to fit His dates onto a SHIFTING AROUND CALENDAR [and DATES] on the in-use GREGORIAN CALENDAR is quite tricky.

 

With the traditional Jewish Calendar in which Yahweh is not playing any role, and a lot of add-on feasts of their own traditions, it becomes all the more complicated.

 

Since last year, I found that the Jewish Calendar is moving into the Lent-Easter-cycle of the Gregorian Calendar pushing the PASSOVER FEAST all the nearer to the TIME-SLOT of the EASTER/ISHTAR (LENT) FEAST.

 

THE FORCES BEHIND THE SCENES:

This year, the forces behind the scenes (the enemy of our souls and his agents) pushed it still to start exactly at the EASTER "GOOD FRIDAY" - "EASTER SATURDAY".

 

One Hebrew Calendar I could find pushed it right into the EASTER FEAST starting at EASTER-SUNDAY  - the 21st till the 29th of April 2019 and I thought that this was the calendar that I would follow this year.

 

MISSED OUT:

Unfortunately,  in the process of 'living' I have totally neglected the information I received - information Abba gave me regarding the Qumram-Zadok Calendar, and with a shock I realized in researching this now, that according to the Qumram Calendar, PASSOVER has ALREADY PASSED - to have started on the 2nd of April and ended on the 9th of April 2019.

 

The devil got his way:

The Qumram-Zadok Calendar was brought under my attention a while ago, but with some difficult situation and attacks that were made on me personally regarding some communal property still owned in South Africa, and some other earthly matters, my mind was not fixed on Yahweh's things.

 

DID NOT STAYED FOCUSED:

This was another learning process in how easily we can get distracted and let earthly things consume our thoughts and minds and taking our minds off of the things that matter most - the heavenly things.

 

With this, Abba showed me how EASILY we are MISSING OUT on HIS APPOINTED TIMES ... for HIS TIMES is NOT OUR TIMES and OUR TIMES ARE NOT HIS TIMES.

 

The DEAD SEA SCROLLS:

With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, there were also fragments of a Hebrew Time Calendar. These fragments are now called the QUMRAM-ZADOK fragments of the QUMRAM-ZADOK PRIESTLY CALENDAR.

 

The high priest - ZADOK:

It is called after Zadok - the high priest during the reigns of kings David and Solomon. Zadok was also the high priest who supported king David during the rebellion (revolt) of David's son, Absalom. Zadok was instrumental in bringing Solomon to the throne and was the Officiator of the  ANOINTING CEREMONY of Solomon as king. He was also the high priest in the FIRST TEMPLE in Jerusalem, built by Solomon.

 

RIGHTEOUS AND JUSTIFIED LEVITICAL PRIESTS:

Zadok is biblically recorded as a patrilineal descendant (descent through the male lineage) of Eleazar, - the son of Aaron ( 2 Sam. 8:17; 1 Chron. 24:3; 1 Chron. 6:4-8). Zadok means "RIGHTEOUS" and/or "JUSTIFIED".

 

THE SONS OF ZADOK:

Ezekiel 44:15 "But the LEVITICAL PRIESTS, the SONS of ZADOK, who KEPT the CHARGE OF MY SANCTUARY when the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WENT ASTRAY from Me, shall come NEAR Me to TALK to Me, and they SHALL ATTEND Me to OFFER to Me the fat and the blood, says Elohim YAHWEH.

 

:16 They shall ENTER INTO MY SANCTUARY, and they shall COME NEAR to MY TABLE to TALK to Me and THEY SHALL KEEP My CHARGE."

 

OPPOSING BAAL/ASHERAH WORSHIP:

In Ezekiel we read that the SONS of ZADOK was KEEPING THEIR CHARGE in the SERVICE of YAHWEH. They were  FAITHFUL OPPONENTS of PAGANISM DURING the TIMES OF PAGAN (Baal/Baalim-Astoreth/Asherim) WORSHIP in Israel.

 

According to the Qumran fragments of the PRIESTLY CALENDAR, we all have missed the REAL PASSOVER DATE which was to be the first week of April already  - 2-10 April 2019 (14-22 Nissan/Abib).  [Nissan is the FIRST first month in Hebrew (Lev. 23) that was changed in Babylonian times of exile to the Babylonian name for the first month Abib.]

​

According to the Qumram Zadok Calendar, Yahweh's Calendar years right from the beginning are exactly 364 days long with the year divided into four seasons -  SPRING - SUMMER - AUTUMN and WINTER.

This is exactly the same as described in the Book of ENOCH and the Book of JUBILEES.

 

YAHWEH'S BASE YEAR:

Yahweh's BASE YEAR is 360 days (12 months x 30 days) with each SEASON that has a INERCALARY or a "RENEWAL" DAY - a SEASONAL "DOORWAY" or a "RENEWAL" day of passing over into a NEW SEASON - SPRING - AUTUMN - WINTER - SUMMER. It is REFERRED to in SCRIPTURE AS  CHODESH or CHADASH (RENEWAL) days.

 

RENEWAL DAYS were REPLACED with "NEW MOON":

In our English Bibles, and not without evil intentions, these 4 "RENEWAL" DAYS are MISTRANSLATED as "MOON" or "NEW MOON" [to usher in the deception of the hidden satanic agenda of the age old Babylonian moon-goddess "Easter/Ishtar - the satanic queen of ancient Babylon - Semiramis - also the fertility goddess in satanic paganism in Canaan also the goddess of "Lent"]

 

The word "MOON" is "YARACH" and is nowhere to be found in the original Hebrew manuscripts.

 

Month 1 = 30 days,

Month 2 = 30 days  and

Month 3 = 30 days + 1 day  as a RENEWAL DAY = 31 days.

 

Month 4 = 30 days,

Month 5 = 30 days and

Month 6 = 30 days + 1 day as a RENEWAL DAY = 31 days and so forth ...

 

YAHWEH'S FEASTS and SABBATHS are ESTABLISHED on HIS APPOINTED DAYS EACH YEAR all calculated and based on the NUMBER 7. Throughout YAHWEH'S Calendar, there is NEVER ANY SHIFTING AROUND of DAYS and the SEVEN DAY CREATION WEEK given in the SCRIPTURES REMAINS FOUNDATIONAL - so HIS PROCLAIMED SEVENTH DAY SABBATHS.

 

EACH SEASON (3 months) is ALWAYS 13 WEEKS LONG = 13 weeks x7days  = 91  or 30+30+31 = 91.

 

Father, how AMAZING You are. You GIVE us BACK what the ENEMY has STOLEN from us. You SHED YOUR LIGHT on the things HIDDEN - and breaks it open for us to understand and SET US FREE from the BONDAGES and the LIES and the DECEPTION we grew up in.

Thank You Father, Yahshua and Spirit of ALL TRUTH for revealing Your things to us, for drawing us closer to You ... giving us the chance to KNOW the TRUTH - to REALLY REALLY KNOW YOU and WALK in RIGHTEOUSNESS with You. In YAHSHUA MESSIAH'S NAME. Amen.

​

​

​

(1) KNOW the ENEMY  - 1 November 2017 - WE NEED KNOWLEDGE to FIGHT the ENEMY:

We - as believers in Messiah Yahshua are all soldiers in HIS ARMY - but HOW could we then FIGHT in HIS ARMY if we DO NOT HAVE ANY or ENOUGH TRAINING and KNOWLEDGE of the ENEMY'S PLANS, STRATEGIES, CAMPAIGNS, TRICKS, METHODS, WAYS, TOOLS, MANEUVERS, SCHEMES AND PLOTS?

 

The apostle Paul states in 2 Corinthians 2:11 that we should not be IGNORANT OF SATAN'S (WILES) TRICKS, GUILES, DECEITS, HOAXES, PLOTS, PLANS, STUNTS, SCAMS, DECEPTIONS, CHEATINGS, DUPLICITIES  AND INTENTIONS - HIS PURPOSES, AIMS, INTENTS, GOALS, TARGETS, OBJECTIVES AND PLANS which is ALL for OUR DESTRUCTION.

 

YAHWEH GAVE US HIS WORD  that IS HIS SON:

YAHWEH GOD has GIVEN US ALL we NEED to be ABLE TO FIGHT and STAND IN FAITH  (HIS WORD - that IS HIS SON - John 1:1 "IN the BEGINNING BEFORE ALL TIME WAS the WORD (CHRIST MESSIAH), and THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, and the WORD WAS GOD HIMSELF.")

 

John 1:1 (as above) states that MESSIAH was IN THE BEGINNING - WITH GOD - AND the WORD WAS GOD HIMSELF - which means that MESSIAH YAHSHUA WAS THERE when the UNIVERSE WAS CREATED - HE WAS THERE WHEN ADAM AND EVE WAS MADE - HE WAS THERE WITH THE ISRAELITES in the DESERT - HE WAS THERE when DAVID LIVED AND ALL THE PROPHETS LIVED - GIVING US WORD - HIS WORD -  HIS COMMANDS/COMMANDMENTS - and then GIVING HIMSELF on the HILL OF GOLGOTHA to SAVE US!

 

Many Christians would state: "The Old Testament is ONLY HISTORY - we are NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVERS" but HOW ARE we going to KNOW GOD - really really KNOW HIM - to be ENABLED TO WALK in AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM - BEING ENABLED by HIS HOLY SPIRIT to FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT AGAINST ALL EVILNESS, if we IGNORE the WORD in the Old Testament?

 

It is through the Old Testament (Old Covenant) pages that we COME TO KNOW GOD - REALLY REALLY KNOW HIM - and when we come to the New Testament (New Covenant) HE SPILL OVER into BEING OUR SAVIOR - TEACHING HIS DISCIPLES (AND US) HOW TO LIVE a GODLY LIFE UNTIL HE COMES TO FETCH US to LIVE WITH HIM FOREVER.

 

With the WORD - the WHOLE WORD (Old and New Testaments  - Old and New Covenants) come a KNOWLEDGE of GOD AND the EVIL ONE as well - spilling over from the Old Testament into the New Testament.

 

Old Testament:

Gen. 3:1;4-5 "Now the SERPENT WAS MORE CRAFTY THAN ANY of the WILD ANIMALS the LORD G-D HAD MADE. ... You will CERTAINLY NOT DIE, the SERPENT said to the woman. For GOD KNOWS that when you eat from it your EYES WILL BE OPENED, AND YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL" - (The devil/serpent addressed Eve with a DISTORTED TRUTH that brought DOUBT into her mind -  DOUBT EXPLODED  into DISOBEDIENCE).

 

Zech. 3:1-2 "Then the guiding angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord (Messiah), and SATAN STANDING AT HIS RIGHT SIDE to be his ADVERSARY to ACCUSE him. The LORD said to SATAN, "THE LORD REBUKE YOU, SATAN! The LORD, Who has CHOSEN Jerusalem, REBUKE YOU! Is not this man a BURNING STICK SNATCHED from the FIRE?" (Jude 9)

 

Job 1:1 "There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was BLAMELESS AND URIGHT, and one who [reverently] FEARD YHWH G-D and ABSTAINED from and SHUNNED EVIL [because it was wrong.] :6 Now there was a day when the ANGELS of YHWH G-D CAME to PRESENT THEMSELVES BEFORE the LORD, and SATAN - the ADVERSARY AND ACCUSER ALSO CAME AMONG THEM ... :7 And the Lord said to Satan, From where did you come? Then Satan answered the Lord, FROM GOING TO AND FRO ON THE EARTH AND FROM WALKING UP AND DOWN ON IT." (Satan the adversary and accuser of mankind is still going to and fro, walking up and down on the earth seeking destruction upon mankind)

 

Job. 2:1-2  "Again there was a day when the ANGELS of the YAHWEH G-D CAME to PRESENT THEMSELVES before the Lord, and Satan, the ADVERSARY AND ACCUSER CAME ALSO among them to present himself before the Lord. And the Lord said to Satan, From where do you come? And Satan the ADVERSARY AND ACCUSER answered the Lord, From GOING TO AND FRO on the EARTH and from WALKING UP AND DOWN ON IT."

 

:3 "And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job, that there is NONE LIKE him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who REVERENTLY FEARS YHWH GOD and ABSTAINS FROM and SHUNS ALL EVIL because it is WRONG?  And STILL HOLDS FAST HIS INTEGRITY, ALTHOUGH YOU MOVED ME AGAINST him to DESTOY HIM WITHOUT CAUSE. (Job 1:13-22  Job said :21-22 "NAKED (without possessions came I into this world from my mother's womb, and NAKED (without possessions) SHALL I DEPART. The LORD GAVE AND THE LORD HAS TAKEN AWAY; BLESSED, (PRAISED AND MAGNIFIED in WORSHIP) be the NAME of the LORD! IN ALL THIS JOB SINNED NOT NOR CHARGED YAHWEH FOOLISH").

 

:4-5 Then SATAN ANSWERED the LORD, SKIN FOR SKIN! YES, ALL THAT A MAN HAS WILL HE GIVE FOR HIS LIFE. But PUT FORTH Your HAND now and TOUCH HIS BONE AND HIS FLESH, and HE WILL CURSE AND RENOUNCE YOU to YOUR FACE. :6 And YAHWEH said to Satan, ... he is IN YOUR HAND; ONLY SPARE HIS LIFE."

 

New Testament:

Luke 22:3 "Then SATAN ENTERED JUDAS, CALLED ISCARIOT, one of the Twelve."

 

2 Cor. 2:9-11 "Another reason I wrote you was to see if you would STAND the TEST and BE OBEDIENT in EVERYTHING. Anyone you forgive, I also forgive ... I have forgiven in the sight of CHRIST for YOUR SAKE, in ORDER THAT SATAN MIGHT NOT OUTWIT US. FOR WE ARE NOT UNAWARE OF HIS SCHEMES."

 

Rev. 2:9 "I know your afflictions and your poverty - yet you are rich!  I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, BUT ARE A SYNAGOGUE of SATAN.:10 Do not be afraid ... I tell you, the DEVIL will PUT SOME OF YOU IN PRISON to TEST YOU ... :12 To the angel of the assembly in Perganum write: These are the words of Him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. :13 I Know where you live - where SATAN HAS HIS THRONE. Yet you REMAIN TRUE to MY NAME. ..."

 

2 Thes 2:9  "The coming of the lawless one will be IN ACCORDANCE WITH HOW SATAN WORKS. He will use ALL SORTS OF DISPLAYS OF POWER THROUGH SIGNS AND WONDERS that SERVE the LIE :10 and all the ways that WICKEDNESS DECEIVES THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING..."

 

Rev. 20:1-2 "And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the KEY TO THE ABYSS AND HOLDING IN HIS HAND a great chain. He SEIZED the DRAGON, that ANCIENT SERPENT, WHO IS THE DEVIL, or SATAN ..."

 

1 Pet. 5:8-9 "BE ALERT AND OF SOBER MIND. Your ENEMY the DEVIL PROWLS AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION LOOKING for SOMEONE to DEVOUR. RESIST him, STANDING FIRM in the FAITH, BECAUSE you KNOW that the FAMILY OF BELIEVERS THROUGHOUT the WORLD is UNDERGOING the SAME KIND OF SUFFERINGS."

 

1 Cor. 7:5 "... devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that SATAN WILL NOT TEMPT YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR LACK OF SELF-CONTROL."

 

1 John 3:8 "The one who does what is SINFUL IS OF THE DEVIL, BECAUSE the DEVIL HAS BEEN SINNING FROM THE BEGINNING. The REASON the SON OF YHWH God APPEARED WAS TO DESTROY the DEVIL'S WORK."

 

2 Cor. 11:3 "But I am afraid that just as Eve was DECEIVED by the SERPENT'S CUNNING, YOUR MINDS MAY SOMEHOW BE LED ASTRAY from your SINCERE AND PURE DEVOTION to CHRIST."

 

Acts. 5:3 "Then Peter said, "Ananias, HOW IS IT THAT SATAN HAS SO FILLED YOUR HEART that YOU HAVE LIED to the HOLY SPIRIT ..."

 

John 8:44 "You BELONG to YOUR FATHER, THE DEVIL, and you want to CARRY OUT YOUR FATHER'S DESIRES. He was a MURDERER from the BEGINNING, NOT HOLDING to the TRUTH, for there is NO TRUTH IN HIM. When he LIES, he SPEAKS HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE, for HE IS A LIAR and the FATHER OF LIES."

 

John 10:10 "The THIEF comes ONLY to STEAL AND KILL AND DESTROY; I HAVE COME that they may HAVE LIFE, and HAVE IT TO THE FULL."

 

James 4:7 "SUBMIT yourselves then to GOD, RESIST the DEVIL ..."

 

YAHSHUA TEMPTED EXCEEDINGLY:

The VERY FIRST THING that HAPPENED AFTER YAHSHUA'S BAPTISM (when HE WAS FULL AND CONTROLLED by the HOLY SPIRIT) - was that HE WAS TEMPTED, TESTED and TRIED EXCEEDINGLY by the DEVIL! (Luke 4:2 - AMP) -  Satan would do the SAME WITH US SEDUCING TEMPTING and TRYING US to GET US AWAY from GOD and HE WOULD USE ANYONE AND ANYTHING to OBTAIN HIS GOAL and that is why GOD GAVE US THE SPIRITUAL ARMOR - that IS HIS SON - to ENABLE us TO STAND IN FAITH - our EYES FOCUSSED ON THE KING of kings

 

With LACK OF KNOWLEDGE of the evil one and his kingdom, the majority of the Christians today walk in BONDAGES. They have no KNOWLEDGE of how to fight and to DISCERN with what they are dealing with. Yes, the "FLESH" does play a HUGE ROLE but the ENTICEMENT COMES FROM ANOTHER PLACE.

 

Eph. 6:10-11 "...PUT ON YAHWEH G-D'S WHOLE ARMOR [the ARMOR of a HEAVY ARMED SOLDIER which YAHWEH G-D SUPPLIES] - that YOU MAY BE ABLE to STAND UP AGAINST ALL the STRATEGIES AND DECEITS of the DEVIL.

 

:12 For we are NOT WRESTLING with FLESH AND BLOOD [CONTENDING ONLY WITH PHYSICAL OPPONENTS], but AGAINST the DESPOTISMS, AGAINST the POWERS, AGAINST [the MASTER SPIRITS WHO ARE] the WORLD RULERS of THIS PRESENT DARKNESS, AGAINST the SPIRIT FORCES OF WICKEDNESS in the HEAVENLY SUPERNATURAL SPHERE.

 

:13 Therefore PUT ON YAHWEH'S COMPLETE ARMOR, that you MAY BE ABLE TO RESIST AND STAND YOUR GROUND on the EVIL DAY OF DANGER, and, HAVING DONE ALL THE CRISIS DEMANDS, to STAND FIRMLY IN YOUR PLACE."
