FOUND IN THE 'SEVENTY WEEKS' PROPHESY OF DANIEL 9:24-27 From the Destruction of Solomons Temple by the Babylonians in 609 BC, we arrive in Babylon with the Jews during the 70 years of Captivity. Daniel, a Prophet, is visited by the Angel Gabriel and is given insight to understand 'The Times' that are about to unfold into the future, beginning with the time of the Release from Captivity by King Cyrus of Persia, their משיח Mashayach Messiah. Daniel 9:24 שבעים SHABAYAM SEVENTY - שבעה SHABAAH SEVEN Gabriel explains to Daniel the Prophesy by defining 2 Calculations each beginning with 'Seventy' that confirm THREE Specific Years. 1: The Year of the Release from Captivity in Babylon ending the Judgement for Transgression. 2: The Year of the Birth of the Messiah, bringing Reconciliation between Yahuah and His People. 3: The Year of the Death of the Messiah, 'The Blood of His Sacrifice', bringing Everlasting Righteousness and Sealing up Vision and Prophesy by Anointing the Holy Ones. See, Isaiah 53:5 and also Hebrews 9:14 שבוע SHABUA A PERIOD OF SEVEN - וחצי UA'CHATSAY - AND HALF Following the Three Specific Years, we are given 'A Period of Time'. The 'Confirming of the Covenant' with His Disciples through 'Holy Spirit' with Signs and Wonders, beginning at Pentecost and leading up to the 'Destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple', bringing the End of an Age of 'Sacrifice and Offerings'. CALCULATIONS AND TIMES Daniel 9:25 TIME - SEVENTY AND SEVEN The Year of the Decree of Cyrus - 539 BC TIME - SEVENTY SIXTY AND TWO The Year of the Birth of the Messiah - 56 BC Daniel 9:26 TIME - AFTER - SEVENTY SIXTY AND TWO The Year of the Death of the Messiah after 56 years of life on Earth as the 'Son of Man' 1 BC / 1 AD Ending of a period of 3,600 years from Adam For evidence of age, "you are not yet Fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?" John 8:57 Daniel 9:27 TIME - SEVEN AND HALF A SEVEN Holy Spirit would Confirm the Covenant for a period of Seventy Years followed by The Destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD |

SEVENTY SEVENTY - NOT - SEVENTY 'WEEKS'
Determined by reading the Hebrew Script and ignoring the 'Vowel Marks' of the Masoretic Text that were only introduced around 600 AD. HEBREW: שבוע SHABUA - A PERIOD OF SEVEN THE HEBREW WORD שבעים SHABAYAM MEANS 'SEVENTY' 70 - NOT - 'WEEKS' THE HEBREW WORD שבעה SHABAAH MEANS 'SEVEN' 7 - NOT - 'WEEK' THE HEBREW WORD חצי CHATSAY MEANS 'HALF' 1/2 NOT - 'IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK' Compare Daniel 12:7 for explanation of 'Half' למועד LA'MUAD - A TIME מועדים MUADAYM - TIMES וחצי UA'CHATSAY - AND A HALF DANIEL 12:7 THE PROPHESY GIVES TWO CALCULATIONS THE FIRST CALCULATION THE YEAR OF THE DECREE Daniel 9:25, Therefore know and understand that from 'The Going Forth of The Command' to restore and build Jerusalem... there shall be Seventy and Seven... 70 x 7 = 490 AND 7 x 7 = 49 539 BC THE DECREE OF CYRUS KING OF PERSIA |

SEVENTY YEARS CAPTIVITY IN BABYLON
In 609 BC Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem and deported some of the people to Babylon including a young boy named Daniel. In 539 BC, Seventy years later, Jeremiah 29:10, King Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon, Isaiah 45:1-6, allowing the People to finally return home, Ezra 1:2-3. (Going back 70 years from 539 BC confirms 609 BC as the date of the Destruction of the Temple) CYRUS SCROLL Cyrus even made an official Decree to the fact, and the Scroll was put in The Library of the Kings Palace in Achmata, Ancient Media, Ezra 6:2-14, where also Daniel's Scrolls would have been stored. See also, Ezra 5:17 to 6:2. In light of all the Evidence of Scripture, shouldn't we open our eyes to the Truth? |

THE BIRTH OF THE MESSIAH - THE FUTURE KING
483 Years after the Decree of Cyrus King of Persia, the Magi or Wise Men from the East, came to Jerusalem in the year 56 BC hoping to find the New Born King. Having spoken to the then Ruler, Herod Antipater the Idumaean (The Father of Herod the Great) they arrived at a little Town called Bethlehem, Micah 5:2, the Town where King David was born. Not far from there was the City of Nazareth, in the region of the Sea of Galilee, a part of the United Land of Judaea. They brought gifts to present to the New Born King, of Gold, Frankincense and Mere. Matthew 2:1-12, 4:15-16, Isaiah 9:1-2. Isaiah 9:6. The Magi, having arrived from the East, probably come from the Kings Palace at Achmata, Ancient Media, where they would have had access to the Library and the Scroll of Daniel. |

A 'Period' of Seven Days includes a Sabbath. When calculating 'Half' a period, the Sabbath is omitted. Seven Days halved is 'Three' A PERIOD OF ONE SEVEN AND HALF THE SEVEN |
| Daniel's Prophesy continues by showing us that, according to the Messiah'a own words, MATTHEW 28:20, "behold I am with you all the days until the completion of the age" He would be with His Disciples through the Holy Spirit confirming the Covenant with Signs and Wonders - before the Final Judgement was to be poured out on Jerusalem and the Temple. |

70 AD
THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE BY ROME ENDING THE 'DAILY SACRIFICE' THE PROPHESY STILL CONTINUES |
|
DANIEL 9:27, Continues:
...And on the wings of Abominations shall be 'One who makes Desolate' even until 'The Consummation' and that which is determined is poured out on the Desolate. The place where Jerusalem and the Temple once stood was now Desolate until the time of it being made right again. DANIEL 8:13 And the Transgression of Desolation the giving of both the Sanctuary and The Host to be Trampled under foot DANIEL 8:14 What has been keeping the Sanctuary in this state of Desolation ? |
|
THE BIRTH OF ISLAM AND THE DOME OF THE ROCK
Towards the end of Daniel 9:27, it says ...and on the wing of Abominations shall be 'ONE WHO MAKES DESOLATE' |
|
THE END OF THE 'DAILY SACRIFICE'
Rome brought to an end 'The Daily Sacrifice' in 70 AD. It continued its war on the remaining Jews and also on the followers of the Messiah. During this period of Abominations people of Faith, who had been forced to flee into the hills and surrounding Wilderness faced persecution, some having had prior warning from the Messiah. They carried with them the Sacred Scrolls, hiding them in caves. Others sought refuge in neighbouring countries, hoping to get support against Rome in getting their land back. As Time progressed, Rome of the East, known as the Byzantine Empire began to face its own problems. THE TRANSGRESSION OF DESOLATION The Byzantine Empire, or Rome of the East as it was known, having been weakened from wars with Persia, was about to face a challenge from a Newly Formed Enemy. THE BIRTH OF ISLAM By the year 628 AD, after facing internal struggles, Islam was born. By 690 AD it had stamped its mark upon the Holiest Place on Earth, The Temple Mount. The Byzantine Empire, Rome of the East, had been dealt a Death Blow and 'The One who makes Desolate' was now in control and would cling to it at great cost for the next 1,335 years. |
|
628 AND 1290 = 1918
|
| The Year, 1918 AD, marked the end of World War One and the end of the Islamic Ottoman Empire. It also marked the return of Jews back to the Land of Israel. Though this was a fulfilment of Prophesy, it still left Islam controlling the Temple Mount. |
|
DANIEL 9:27 ...EVEN UNTIL THE CONSUMMATION
690 AND 1335 = 2025 Consummation: a coming together. Is this the First Resurrection? Daniel 12:12, Blessed are those who wait and come to the 1335 days-years AND THAT WHICH IS DETERMINED Does this mean the beginning of the Judgement? 'IS POURED OUT' ON THE DESOLATE - MEANING "ISRAEL" ARE YOU FOLLOWING A RELIGION OR A BELIEF IN THE CREATOR BASED ON SCRIPTURE |
|
THE TEMPLE AUTHORITY IN JERUSALEM
The Temple in Jerusalem, during the days of the Messiah, had the Authority to Anoint Kings, much like the early Christian Church in its day. Each in their own time have been challenged as to whether they taught Scriptural Truth. This caused division and a falling away of people of Faith. 2,021 years will have passed, by the end of this year, since the Death and Resurrection of the Jewish Messiah and 1,951 years since the Destruction of the Temple, the Authority of its day. Will the Church, the Authority of today, suffer the same judgement? To Christians, this would be unthinkable, with most believing they are already Saved having put their trust in the Church. Is there any evidence that makes Judgement a possibility? AN ANCIENT STATUE OF NATIONS The Prophet Daniel was shown a vision of a Giant Statue made up of Four Ruling Nations and their Empires, each identified by a different metal. Babylon, Gold - Medo-Persia, Silver - Greece, Bronze - Rome, Iron. The Feet of this statue were made of Iron mixed with Clay, a mixture of Nations that would be ruling in our day. Notice that the Iron identified as Rome, is found in the Feet along with the Clay, identified as other Nations, that would not ordinarily agree with Rome. THE FEET OF THE STATUE These Ruling Nations would try to achieve World Power through Peaceful negotiations but would use force when necessary. At one and the same time, the Authority of the Roman Church would be trying to steer these Nations on a path of Peace through unity of Religion, a compromise of directly opposed beliefs, Christendom, Islam, and Judaism, who claim a common belief like that of Abraham, of the 'One True God'. Other Religions would also be brought into the mix. Is this what God wants? Not according to the Scriptures! See, Daniel 2:44 Empires in the past have used 'Compromise' to increase their control of conquered Nations within their boundaries, while using Force only when Compromise fails. The First of these Empires was 'Babylon'. BABYLON THE GREAT Daniel was given Prophesy from God of future events, some that would take place during his life, others happening throughout the ages down to our day and even beyond into the future. All the events of the past have been fulfilled, so we can expect that future events will happen too! Daniel was given visions relating to Nations in conflict being represented as various kinds of Beasts, along with an explanation of who they represented. One of these Beasts continues down to our day and beyond. Daniel 8:21-22, describes a 'Goat' with a large Horn. Later we learn that this is a symbol for Greece and its King Alexander the Great. The Horn of the Goat is broken indicating Alexanders death. The large Horn is replaced with Four Horns on the Goat, Alexanders Four Generals, who fight each other for the Empire. Out of one of these Horns comes up a Little Horn that plucks out the other Three, Daniel 7:8. Later the Little Horn becomes a Beast with 'Ten Horns', the Greco-Roman Empire, that is responsible for the Death of the Messiah and the Destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, taking away the Daily Sacrifice in 70 AD. TWO SEPARATE EVENTS The First Event: the taking away the Daily Sacrifice and the casting down of the Sanctuary Daniel 8:11 The Second Event: An Army was too appose the Daily Sacrifice because of Transgression, and would do this and prosper. Daniel 8:12 Daniel is given an explanation of how long it would be before, the 'trampling under foot of the Sanctuary and the Host', would come to an end Daniel 8:13 Daniel is told, 2,300 days/years will pass from taking away the Daily Sacrifice to the Sanctuary being made right again in the year 2370 AD. Daniel 8:14 Daniel 12:11, From the Time the Daily Sacrifice was taken away and the setting up of the 'Abomination that makes Desolate', there would be 1,290 days/years. The Destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple in 70 AD by Rome, removed the ability to carry out the Daily Sacrifice. Israel ceased to exist as a Nation and some of its people were massacred or scattered throughout the World. Rome built its own City on the ruins. Later, something was 'Set Up' that would continue this Desolate state of Ruin for the Jews, this was the Birth of Islam. THE WOUND IN THE HEAD OF THE ROMAN BEAST The Persians continued to war against what had become the Roman Byzantine Empire of the East. These Wars weekend both powers allowing for the rise of Islam in 628 AD, which began to threaten Rome's hold over Syria in the North, Egypt in the south and Judaea in the middle. By the year 690 AD Islam controlled the Middle East and much of the Mediterranean. Jerusalem was rebuilt as Islam's Holy City and the Dome of the Rock was their stamp of ownership. The Birth of Islam was the starting point of Daniel's Prophesy of 1290 years, down to the break up of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War One in 1918. The Jews were given back some of the Land, now known as Palestine, and began to return home. THE REBIRTH OF A NATION Daniel 12:12, Has a happier outcome. Another Time span measured from the 'Setting up' of the 'Dome of the Rock', the building, finished in 690 AD. 1,335 years later brings us to the year 2025. Blessed is he who waits and comes to the 1335 days/years. Is this the year of the presence of the 'Son of Man' coming in the clouds with power and glory? is this the First Resurrection, Daniel 12:13 ?. But what of the Roman Beast, has its wounded head finally healed? A WOMAN AND A BEAST Will the Church achieve its goal of Unity? and will the Nations it rides upon be successful in their attempt to form a 'World Government'? It would appear the opposite. John's vision of Revelation 17:3-4, describes a Woman with a Golden Cup in her hand, riding a Seven Headed Ten Horned Beast. The Beast turns on the Woman and burns her with fire, Revelation 17:16-18. If this is the fate of the Christian Church along with all the other World Religions, then the people who have Faith need to leave now, before its too late! Revelation 18:4-8 and Revelation 19:6. Interestingly at the end of verse six it says, HalaluYah! (Praise YaH!) ..."the Lord God of us the Almighty", in Hebrew this would read, יהוה אלהינו אלשדי Yahuah ALahaynu ALshaday. Today anyone can lay their hands on a Bible in their own language and read about the the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus, written in the Gospels, also known as the 'New Testament'. Of great importance are the words of the Messiah himself, found in this book! If you want to know more about the Messiah, the proof of who He is, you also need the Hebrew Scriptures, the Jewish תניך 'Taunayk' (Tanak) or 'Old Testament' as it has come to be known. Both of these books are found in the English Bible. It is helpful to have a knowledge of Hebrew and an Interlinear Hebrew to English Bible. Most Jews and Christians today may have their own Bible but they rely on their Church or Synagogue to guide them through Scripture. TRINITY - THREE PERSONS - IN ONE GOD Today the Authority of Christian teaching is the Church, whether Catholic, Protestant or other, all are joined in their belief in the man, Jesus Christ. The Church describes God this way: 'The Father is God, the Son is God and Holy Spirit is God', a Trinity of persons together being 'One God', namely, 'Jesus Christ' the 'Lord'. They explain this as a 'Mystery' that only they, the Authority, can understand. This means you are subject to the Church and their Doctrines or Teaching. Though having an element of truth, the Church is misleading its followers. It does Not Teach us about our 'Holy Spirit Father' and His 'Holy Spirit Son'. Both existed together before the Creation of the Heavens and Earth. We see this in Genesis 1:28, And said God, אלהים ALaHaYM, a Plural Word, "Let us make Man in 'Our' image and in 'Our' likeness". The 'Doctrine' or Teaching of the 'Trinity' as being 'One' God, was formulated in Nicaea, then a Greek City, over 1,700 years ago, around 300 AD. The Council was presided over by the Roman Emperor Constantine. Later 'Trinity' became the Foundation of the Roman Catholic Church. Whether Catholic, Protestant or other, all believe in this Doctrine, known as the 'Nicene Creed' which is a philosophical explanation of 'Trinity' being the 'One God'. To be a 'Christian' a follower of 'Jesus Christ', a name the Church gives the Messiah, you have to accept this Teaching! Is it Scripturally correct? The Answer is 'No'. As a cautionary note: The Name of God יהוה YaHUaH, has been replaced nearly 7000 times in both Hebrew and Greek Testaments with titles 'Lord' and 'God'. Some translations give these titles in Capital Letters to indicate where His Name would have appeared. GOD IS SPIRIT The Scriptures show us that, in Hebrew: אלהים ALaHaYM (Elohim), God, is Holy, Isaiah 6:3. He is Spirit, רוח הקדוש RUaCh HaQaDUSH Holy Spirit, John 4:23-24. If the Father is Holy Spirit, then His Spirit Son is also Holy Spirit, Two Holy Spirit Beings, not one and not three, Luke 10:22. The two were together from the beginning as pointed out in Genesis 1:26, "Let Us make man in Our image and in Our likeness, also, John 1:1-2, John 4:23. John 14:16-18. John 14:28, where the Messiah says "I am going away and I am coming to you". He says this to His Disciples, that after His death and Resurrection to Heaven, He would come to them as 'Holy Spirit', and be with them to the end of the age. ESV Matthew 28:20. The Holy Spirit Son, the Messiah, came to Earth in the Name of His Father, who had sent Him. In the same way, the Son, in the Book of Revelation, sent an Angel or Messenger to represent Himself to His servant John, Revelation 1:1. This would be how He would be with His Disciples until the end of the Age, being represented by Angels or by Spirits. We are shown this in the Book of Revelation with the Seven Angels of the Seven Churches. Previously, as 'Son of Man', He had told His Disciples that His Father was now their Father, and His God their God, John 20:17. THE HOLY SPIRIT FATHER Before the Son was born into the World as 'Son of Man', His Father had not been revealed to Man as God, no Man had seen Him or heard His voice. It was His 'Holy Spirit Son' who was then known to Man as the 'One' God אלשדי AL'ShaDaY, God Almighty. The Ancient Hebrews may or may not have known Him as the 'Son' at that time. THE HEBREW NAME OF THE FATHER AND SON Today, very few Christians know the Hebrew Name of Our Father or the Hebrew Name of His Son the Messiah, Why is this? The practice of 'Not Speaking the Name of God' had become established during the Second Temple period. When the Hebrew Scriptures were translated into Greek during the Hellenistic period, the Name was replaced with the titles 'Lord' or 'God'. This practice of Hiding the Name was transferred to the Church who carried on the Tradition in the Gospels with no distinction between Father and Son, both being termed 'Lord' in the Old and New Testaments. If the Hebrew name of the 'Son of Man' contained any reference to the Name of God, it would have been replaced by another Name. THE CHURCH The Name 'Jesus', later known as 'Jesus Christ', became firmly established as the Name that the Church used for the Jewish Messiah. The followers of Church 'Tradition' became known as 'Christians' the followers of the Christ. The Power of the Roman Emperor was eventually transferred to the Church, giving it the power to set up Kings and Rulers throughout the Empire. Today the Christian Church is the most powerful Religious Authority on Earth. The questions All Christians have to ask themselves is, Who gave the Church this Authority, was it God or Satan? see, Matthew 4:8-10. THE PROPHESIES OF דניאל DANAY'AL, (Daniel) The Clock above shows the 'Times' contained in the Prophesy given to Daniel, including, the year of the Messiah's Birth and the year of His Death, followed by the year of the Destruction of Jerusalem and the The Temple and Future events, some have happened, others yet to happen. These 'Times' somewhat conflict with the Historical accounts taught by the Church. Should we continue to believe the Church, when clearly it is Scripturally incorrect? The Son of God, sent from Heaven to be born into the line of the House of King David as to the flesh, but through His Spirit, עמנואל AMaNU'AL, meaning, 'With us is God'. His Life, Death and Resurrection back to Life, sealed the 'New Covenant' in His Blood, promising Blessings to come for those having Faith in His Sacrifice, and the coming Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. But a time of 'Tribulation' upon those who reject Him. |
|
THE GREAT TRIBULATION
The 'Tribulation' began with the Destruction of the Temple in 70 AD by the Romans and continues until the time that the 'Sanctuary', the 'Tabernacle of David', will be made right again in 2370 AD, according to Daniels Prophesy. His 'Second Coming', this time as the 'King of Righteousness', will bring Judgement upon the Nations that hצש rejected Him. King of Righteousness, Hebrew: מלכיצדך MaLKaY TSaDaK, (Melchizedek), and יהוה צדקנו 'YaHUaH TSaDQaNU', YaHUaH our Righteousness. With the Blessing of Redemption, Jeremiah 23:5-6.) He will set up His Kingdom on the Earth, any other Kingdom on Earth at that time will find themselves in opposition to His Kingdom, Daniel 2:43-45. These Events are Prophesied in the 'Hebrew Scriptures', known as the Jewish 'Tanakh', containing the 'Torah', the Five Books credited to Moses, the Prophets, Psalms and other writings. These Scriptures along with Jewish Oral 'Tradition' make up the Religion known as 'Judaism' from where we learn about אלהים ALaHaYM (God), המשיח Ha MaShaYaCh the (Messiah), and the Prophesied time of His Birth into the World as the 'Son of Man'. His Suffering and His Death, followed by His Resurrection from the Dead, His return from Heaven as Holy Spirit to Confirm the Covenant with His Disciples with signs and wonders and ending with the Destruction of the Temple, removing the Daily Sacrifice. The Hebrew Scriptures are essential for getting to know our Creator, the 'Only Spirit Son' of אלהים ALaHaYM (Elohim) God. They tell us of His existence with His Father, before the Heavens and the Earth were formed and how He had a love for all the things He made including us. His Father, who is the Source of all Life, passed on to His Son the ability to Create Life and this is what He did. He gave Life to all He Created and sustains it through the power of His Spirit. He was to reveal His Father to the World in the latter days. MATTHEW 11:27, YAHUAH (Hebrew: יהוה) Before He revealed His Father to the World, the only 'Spirit Being' known to Man as אלה 'ALaH' (God) was 'The Spirit Son'. He showed Himself to Abram and Sarai as אלשדי AL'ShaDaY God Almighty, while on His way to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. No Man has ever seen His Father or heard His voice, all interaction between Man and אלה ALaH (God) was carried out by His 'Only Spirit Son' either directly, as with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses, or through His Ministers, the Angels and the Prophets, Men chosen to deliver His messages and warnings. When the Time came for Him to fulfil the Prophetic Word, His Father, Our Father, sent Him to the Earth to be born as 'Son of Man' to experience what is was like being Human. THE MESSIAH AS THE SON OF MAN Growing up to the realisation of who He was, the Son of God, and being tempted in all respects just as we are but without Sin, would have been quite a trial for Him. At about the age of twelve, Luke 2:42, His Spirit was bearing witness to the Scriptures as He reasoned with the Temple Priests, Luke 2:46-47. At the age of thirty, He was Baptised by John, who was sent to prepare the way for Him, Isaiah 40:3, prepare the way of יהוה Yahuah, make straight in the desert a highway for our 'ALaH' (God) When Isaiah 40:3 is read in an Interlinear Hebrew to English Bible, we see who John was preparing the way for. Isaiah says, "...Prepare the way of יהוה...", in English: YaHUaH, the Name of the Holy Spirit Son. In your Bible it has 'the Lord' instead of His Name. It also tells us that The Way, being prepared, was for 'Our God'. From this we can see that the Messiah, as to the 'Spirit', was the 'Son of God' but as to the flesh, the 'Son of Man' or God with us in the Flesh. He received confirmation from His Father, speaking from the Heavens "you are My Son, the beloved in whom I am well pleased", Mark 1:11. We are told that immediately after being baptised He went into the wilderness and was tempted by Satan himself, trying to get Him to worship him, Matthew 4:8-9. Satan gives power to those who please him and those who reject God. The Ancient Hebrew writings contain the 'Word' delivered to Man to give understanding and knowledge about the Creator and His plan for His Creation, covering the Past, Present and Future events that have happened, are happening and will happen soon. These 'Events' are shown to us through Prophesy, given to Men of Faith who wrote down the words for us to read in the Scriptures. Through the 'Word', our Daily Bread, we grow in understanding and this in turn strengthens our Faith, our Spiritual Life, allowing us to discern 'Spiritual Truth', The 'Light' shining in the Darkness of this World. Today the Teachings of Jewish Rabbis and the Christian Church leaders however take us to a different outcome based on Man's interpretation of the Scriptures, known as 'Oral Tradition' or Man Made Religious Thinking. THE CHURCH - THE MOTHER OF CHRISTIANITY The Religion known as 'Christianity' or the 'Church', have the same Scriptures, known to the Church as the 'Old Testament' with the addition of the 'New Testament' the 'Gospels' or Greek Scriptures, collectively the 'Christian Bible'. The Church during its formative years existed within the Byzantine Empire or Rome of the East, with its Pagan beliefs. It was the Roman Emperor, Constantine, who took an interest in the affairs of the Church, presiding over the philosophical arguments over Scripture. By trying to explain who God is. Through their own understanding, they became centred on their own importance. These were the reasonings in the minds of Men, who finally settled on the doctrine of the 'Trinity' to explain who God is. They rejected all other explanations, even burning writings that argued for Scriptural Truth. By adopting 'Trinity' as their foundation and calling it the truth, they became self opinionated, claiming the Authority for themselves. They had rejected the Truth for a Lie. Man became the Authority, an intellectual god, an idol of their own making. Abominations followed when they erected a wooden cross bearing a wooden image of a crucified man, naming it Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ Jesus Christ. They appointed a Day of veneration to their god on the 'Day of the Sun' Sunday, naming it the 'Lords Day'. ANTICHRIST (OPPOSING MESSIAH) FALSE ANOINTED ONE While on Earth, the Messiah delivered the message of the Kingdom of Heaven and revealed His Father to those who would listen. He was faced with opposition to the form of teaching He presented. Being the 'Word of God', He spoke God's Words to the Pharisees and Sadducees of His day. Blinded by their Traditions they could not accept the 'Word of Truth' or Him, becoming Deaf and blind to His message. They chose 'Tradition' over 'Truth', while allowing anger to get the better of them. Through their pride, they became transgressors of the Law, unjustly condemning the Messiah to Death. They failed to Discern the time of His coming, even though it was Prophesied in the Scriptures. The Messiah came into the World to Declare His Father to His people and carry out the will of His Father, allowing Himself to be a Sacrifice for the Sins of the World and through that Sacrifice destroy the power of Satan and the power of those in opposition. By manipulating Scripture the Church has caused confusion among believers to say the least. Raising questions about His name, is He 'Joshua' or 'Jesus' ? It would be more appropriate and respectful, to acknowledge His Spirit Name which is the same as His Father, the Name יהוה Yahuah. Having been born into the World, He came in His Fathers Name, to bring Glory to that Name. THE LAMB OF GOD The Messiah was born into the World with the purpose of giving His body as a symbolic Sacrificial 'Lamb', the Lamb of God that takes away the Sin of the World. Lamb, in Hebrew is שה ShaH. When applied to the Name YaHUah, it becomes יהושה YaHUShaH, Yahuah the Lamb. In the Book of Revelation, we see the Glorified Messiah as 'The Lamb' standing on Mount of Zion, and with Him 144,000 having His Name and the Name of His Father written on their foreheads. While under Greco-Roman influence long after the Disciples and followers of the Messiah, under persecution from the Jews and Rome, had delivered the Kingdom message to the World. The existing scrolls and accounts in Hebrew or Aramaic script would have been destroyed along with the people who carried them. The 'Dead Sea Scrolls' found at Qumran are evidence showing the practice of hiding the Scriptures to preserve them. Documents written in Greek would have survived, being in the hands of those who bowed to Roman power. The Jewish and Christian Bibles contain the 'Word of God'. Translated into Greek and from there translated into English, however, because of Traditional practices having been incorporated into the Translations, both have left people of Faith in confusion, believing that God is a Mystery and can only be explained by trained teachers, the Rabbis and the Clergy. One speaks about the Nation of Israel as being the 'Son' and not the Messiah, who has yet to come. The other teaches that the Christ is God, both 'Father' 'Son' and 'Holy Spirit', three persons in one God. This practice allowed the doctrine of the 'Trinity', crafted to explain that Mystery, the Mystery that the Church itself had created. Judaism and Christianity are both misleading their followers away from 'Truth' contained in the Scriptures, the former, by hiding the Messiah, the latter, by teaching another Messiah. When the Messiah returns, these 'False Shepherds' will find themselves opposing the 'One' who they claim to be following! THE MESSIAH - THE LAMB OF GOD The Sacrifice of 'The Lamb of God' nullified the 'Law' contained in 'Ordinances'. These Laws covered the strict rules pertaining to the Temple, Sacrifice and Priestly duties, the ministering of the Temple and the People. Seventy years after His Resurrection, just as He had warned would happen, Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed by Rome, taking away the 'Daily Sacrifice' and leaving His House abandoned and desolate until the time of a Spiritual Restoration at His return. The Church seized on this to sidestep the Law contained in Commandments by claiming they had the Divine Right, changing the Seventh Day Sabbath to Sunday and claiming the authority to forgive Sin. By persecuting the Jews and those of Faith who keep His Commandments, they viewed them all as Jews. they imprisoned, tortured and executed all they came across. IS JESUS THE CHRIST THE MESSIAH? - IS JESUS HIS OWN FATHER? According to the Church and the Gospels Jesus is the Christ. But is He the Messiah? Do the claims of the Church agree with Scripture? We first need to look to the Hebrew Scriptures, the 'Old Testament' because, this was all that the Disciples had to go on. THE SON OF GOD FROM THE BEGINNING In the first chapter of Genesis 1:1, we read, 'In the beginning 'God' (Hebrew: אלהים Alahaym, Elohim, a 'Plural' word meaning, more than one) created the Heavens and the Earth'. Is this statement supported in Scripture? Yes! Genesis 1:26, towards the end of the Sixth Day, the Alahaym (plural) said, "Let US make Man in OUR Image and in OUR Likeness". They are Father and Son, both are 'Holy Spirit Beings' existing from the beginning before the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth. Do the Rabbis, the Church and Islam, agree with the above? The answer is No! They all Teach that there is only One Alah God! The Church however adds to their 'One God', the 'Mystery' teaching of 'Trinity' three persons in 'One God'. So in their belief, the Son is the only God, being both Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and the name they gave him is 'Jesus Christ'. Though this teaching has some truth within it, because of the Scriptures, it does not however, reveal 'Our Father' and His 'Only Son' to the World. Instead they use Philosophy, the reasoning of Man to explain the 'Mystery' that they themselves created. |
