MECHANISMS COMMON TO THE BIBLICAL CALENDAR: SIGNS, SEASONS, DAYS, AND YEARS

As we approach the Fall Feasts of the Lord I’m reposting this three part series. Part one.

These are my condensed notes from the book “Wheel of Stars” by Andrew Gabriel Roth. I am a student of the Biblical/Hebrew/Prophetic calendar and Mr. Roth is a calendar scholar. I have learned much from his scholarly work. His book is available on Amazon. It is not a light read but it will enable God’s people to understand things with a prophetic spirit as the men of Issachar in 1 Chronicles 12.32, 38-39.

SIGNS - And God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for appointed times and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth”; and it was so.

And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth and to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. Genesis 1.14-19

1. The lights in the sky were created to separate the day from the night and give light to earth. These are the sun, moon, and the stars.

2. The sun is the greater light that rules the day and the moon is the lesser light that rules the night. The moon reflects the light of the greater sun.

3. The sun, moon, and stars also serve as signs, seasons, days, and years—in that order.

The last point is the key to understanding the biblical calendar systems. Without the signs, there can be no seasons, days, or years. The other parts of time literally wait for the first marker—sign.

This is what YHVH said to Job in 38.33: Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you use its power in the earth?

The point of this question is that Job, who is trying to judge his Maker, cannot do what YHVH is asking. YHVH is telling Job that He has set the laws of the heavens to rule over the laws of the earth! The general pattern is that the heavens come first, the earth second, and nowhere is this truer than with the sky signs and earth signs.

But what exactly is a “sign” anyway? In Genesis 1:14, the Hebrew word owth is meant to designate a banner or flag, a graphic symbol of a spectacular nature that is impossible to miss. Let’s examine some other places where this word appears:

“And Elohim said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth…So Elohim said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth” (Genesis 9:12-17).

We see here that the sky sign comes first and is the reminder to YHVH of His covenant with the earth and man. The earth sign comes after the sky sign, and is simply the continued existence of the earth.

Another way the sky sign of covenant manifests on Earth: Then YHWH said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am YHWH, who makes you holy…The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested….(Exodus 31:12-18).

The Sabbath is a sign that defines the “set apartness” of YHVH’s people. It is a “mark” on YHVH’s people, a signal to the nations. Just as the end time Beast has a mark, YHVH’s mark is that we observe His Sabbath!

In another very clear reference, the creation is itself the sky sign. YHWH chose six “days” of creation, and then rested on the seventh, to consider His great work and then to bless it. Without the creation/sky sign, there would be no Sabbath. As for the earth sign, it is the observance of the Sabbath by man.

Finally, there is also a pecking order in heaven with respect to sky signs themselves. Put simply, sun signs rule over moon signs. Notice the use of the Hebrew word gadol to describe the sun as the “greater” light. This word does not refer exclusively to the level of light that the sun produces when compared to the moon, for a simple reason: YHWH knows the moon does not produce any light on its own to begin with! It simply reflects light from the sun. In that sense, the image we are presented with is the sun entrusting the moon with its light.

Another proof of this is according to how the word gadol is used elsewhere. For example, the High Priest is called kohen ha gadol, and there is little doubt that the high priest’s power as a master over the other priests and Levites—as opposed to the extent of his “luminosity” ‑ is the intended meaning. In the same way the “greater light” gives permission for the moon to rise and take its light.

In addition, Scripture demonstrates this same idea: “This is what YHWH says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?” (Isaiah 66:1) Which is more likely to have royal power – the throne (heaven) or the Earth (footstool)?

The final Scriptural validation comes from Ecclesiastes where the power of judgment resides under the sun with YHWH, of course, as the ultimate authority: “And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment ‑ wickedness was there, in the place of justice ‑ wickedness was there. I thought in my heart, “Elohim will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time for every deed” (Ecclesiastes 3:16-17).

This representative sample should hopefully suffice for the first major definition in our study. Now let’s move on to unlocking the rest of Genesis 1:14-19.

SEASONS – The Scriptures tell us the seasons do not begin prior to the SIGNS. In Hebrew the next word we need to look at is moed which means “appointed time”.

The first season of year is of course, spring, called Aviv in Scripture. The characteristics of spring involve the earth returning to a state of greenness, which is why we are told in Exodus to observe that moment of the year as its beginning. The sign or signal of spring is the tender and green ears of the barley, the first of the produce to ripen in Israel. Barley is the earth sign, but it needs the sky sign to precede it before the season can officially begin.

If we know there is a sky sign that will always point to when the barley is ripe, and this is in harmony with the Torah in places like Genesis 1:14-19, then no additional procedures are required. We simply wait for the sky sign, get the barley, and go!

The moon is still subject to the solar year, because without it these same holidays that are keyed to harvest and planting will occur out of season. So as long as those appointed times stay on track, the moon is in charge. When it needs help, however, to keep the festivals at their proper time, the sun takes over. In so doing, both the sun and the moon mark the year, again as Scripture says.

What we can also say about the moedim is that once the time is set, the moon controls the ordering of the sacred festivals: “The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.” (Psalm 104:19)

Philo has a very interesting commentary on this verse: “And before now some men have predicted disturbances and commotions from the motions of the earth, from the revolutions of the heavenly bodies, and innumerable other events that have turned out most exactly true; so that it is a most veracious saying that “the stars were created to act as signs and moreover to mark the seasons.”

“And by the word “seasons” the divisions of the year are intended. And why may not this be reasonably affirmed? For what other idea of opportunity can there be except that it is the time for success? And the seasons bring everything to perfection, and set everything right; giving perfection to the sowing and planting of fruits and to the birth and growth of animals. They were also created to serve as the measure of time; for it is by the appointed periodic revolutions of the sun and moon and other stars that the days, months and years are determined.” (Philo Judaeus, On Creation, 59-60 p. 9 CD Yonge Translation) As, we see all work together on the Eternal Calendar.

DAYS - Once the sun hands control of time over to the moon in pointing to when spring begins, the sacred days are marked from New Moon to New Moon. However, this reckoning is only valid from Moses’ day on, because prior to that time YHWH did not institute festivals that were timed in this manner. We will investigate shortly how days were reckoned in the pre-Mosaic calendar. Note: Synodic is the scientific term for marking the lunar month from one New Moon crescent to another, or 29.53 days. Other methods of marking a lunation can be shorter by as much as two days. Biblical data, though, clearly only recognizes this method of measurement.

YEARS - And so, by the time we end up actually looking at years, little else need be said. The days, of course, eventually run out, but the Shabbat count is constant even when the next seventh day runs into the following year. The year also waits for the return of the signs before it officially “dies”. That means that sun, moon and earth signs must all agree that the time is right, but we can also calculate the proper interval, regardless as to the calendar to which we are referring.

Calculation vs. Sighted: Who is right?

The final piece of general evidence has to do with the whole calculated/sighted controversy. In looking at the Talmud we find multiple references to the Sanhedrin, hearing from reliable witnesses that the crescent had been sighted. In return, the Sanhedrin would then give these men a fine meal and lodging for their troubles. Then they would light the lamps that were to signal Israel that the beginning of the month had happened. However, some of the problems of this story are even mentioned in the same source, in that enemies of Israel would also light fires to confuse the rest of the nation!

Therefore, there had to be a way to silence all controversy in this matter, if for no other reason than national security literally depended on it. And so there are a few ways of approaching this:

• The procedure of hearing from witnesses of the New Moon sighting was a community awareness service that is not necessarily enshrined in Scripture. There are no such Biblical examples of such process. Nor is there a single reference in Tanakh to sighting the New Moon, but only about what to do when the New Moon occurs.

• The purpose of this procedure was to reassure the people that they did not have to worry about enemy deception. If they did not go up to tell the Sanhedrin about the new month, they could have confidence that one of their fellow countrymen would.

• If the witnesses did not agree or if none came forward, however, there had to be a final judge that gave a clear decision in a timely manner and this was the calculated lunar month that we will examine later. For now, though, the main thing to understand is that since the New Moon to New Moon cycle is always and precisely 29.53 days the lunar months in a given year will always and precisely alternate between 29 and 30 days, without exception.

Here is how Alfred Edersheim describes this procedure in The Temple: Its Ministry and Services, Chapter 10, emphases: … this brings up yet another difficulty. The Jews calculated the month according to the phases of the moon, each month consisting of either twenty-nine or thirty days, and beginning with the appearance of the new moon. But this opened a fresh field of uncertainty.

It is quite true that every one might observe for himself the appearance of a new moon. But this would again partly depend on the state of the weather. Besides, it left an authoritative declaration of the commencement of a month unsupplied. And yet not only was the first of every month to be observed as ‘New Moon’s Day,’ but the feasts took place on the 10th, 15th, or other day of the month, which could not be accurately determined without a certain knowledge of its beginning.

Wine Fulfills Prophecy!

The Fall Feasts of the Lord begin this year in September or October depending on which calendar you’re going to follow. Wine plays a part in these feasts especially during Sukkot. I am posting this interesting article on wine from “Breaking News Israel.”

 

Wine is mentioned by the prophets as a sign of the Jews' return to the Land of Israel. One Israeli vintner is experiencing this prophecy fulfilled.

Eyal Tsair, a vintner at the Golan Heights Winery, combines three of his greatest passions in his job: wine, Torah, and the Land of Israel. For Tsair, wine has certainly played an important, if not prophetic role in his aliyah (immigration to Israel). Arriving in 1991 from Germany, he began working at the Golan Heights Winery in 1993 upon completion of his service in the Israel Defense Force.

 

For Tsair, it is clear that making wine is far more than creating a beverage. He believes that, contained in his bottles, is the most powerful proof that the Jewish people have returned to their Biblical homeland.

 

"Several prophets speak specifically about grape vines as a part of the Jews' return to the Land of Israel," Tsair said to Breaking Israel News. "What is so special about grapes? Why didn't the prophets speak about wheat or herds of cattle? When the prophets describe a return to Israel that included grape vines, they were describing a specific type of return; one that will be permanent.

 

"Contained in a bottle of wine is the proof that the Jews have returned to Israel in a meaningful and permanent manner," Tsair continued. "It takes many years of work until you enjoy the wine. After you plant a grape vine, you have to wait four years for orla." Orla (literally 'uncircumcised') refers to the prohibition of eating the fruit from a tree planted in Israel for the first three years. When the Temple exists, the fruit of the fourth year may be eaten in Jerusalem.

 

When you enter the land and plant any tree for food, you shall regard its fruit as forbidden. Three years it shall be forbidden for you, not to be eaten. In the fourth year all its fruit shall be set aside for jubilation before Hashem. Leviticus 19:23

 

"Even after we harvest the grapes, aged red wine sits in the cask for two years," Tsair explained. "Planting grape vines is a long-term investment. It is only for those who are truly connected to the land and who plan on being here for many years to come."

For Golan Heights Winery, this process was been even longer and more tenuous. Planting their first vines in 1976 was a leap of faith. Israel's northern Golan Heights were conquered in the 1967 Six-Day War but the region was not annexed by the Israeli government until 1981. 

 

The yet-to-be-harvested vineyards were nearly lost when Syria overran the region in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The first Golan wine was produced in 1983, immediately receiving international accolades.

 

The winery has invested heavily in the Golan, based on the belief that the prophetic return of the Jews to the region is permanent. They currently harvest more than 1,200 acres of vineyards. Their yield of 5.5 million bottles of wine annually is relatively low since they emphasize quality over quantity. Tsair contrasted this long-term investment to the manner in which others have related to the Land.

 

"It is true that the Arabs were here. But, they passed through with their flocks, consuming everything in their path and then moved on," Tsair said. "Goats rip out the roots and leave the Land barren. That is not how the true owner of the Land acts. There is no personal investment."

 

Tsair compared this to King Solomon's judgement between two women claiming one baby as their own. Solomon offered to cut the baby in half, giving one half to each claimant. The true mother refused as her love for her child made it unbearable to bring any harm to her baby.

 

"Everywhere you go in Israel, you can see the love the Jewish people have for the Land," Tsair said. "The Arabs claim it is theirs. But, when there is a dispute like there is in the south of Israel right now, they don't hesitate to burn everything."

 

Tsair emphasized that wine production was always thriving whenever there was a Jewish presence in Israel. "Grapes are one of the seven species that receive a special blessing in the Bible," he noted: A land of wheat and barley, of vines, figs, and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey. Deuteronomy 8:8

 

"This special blessing was evident in Roman times when wine from Israel was highly prized as the best in the world," Tsair explained. "Wine has always been part of the Jewish presence in Israel, especially here in the Golan."

 

Tsair presented to Breaking Israel News a map dotted with ancient wine-presses that archaeologists discovered in the Golan. "Unfortunately, we no longer have the original species of grape vines," he said. "For 1,300 years of Muslim dominance in the region, wine production was prohibited."

 

Tsair has a passion for wine and even has a small winery at his home in Migdal on the shores of the Galilee. He is still waiting for the ultimate expression of his wine-making skills. "I am here for the entire journey," Tsair said. "It is my dream that one day, I can bring my best wine to the Temple."

Reposting this article from July 23, 2023. Enjoy! 

Today, scientists understand that there are certain elements that are found abundantly throughout the universe. One element that is essential to all life, and which is found in all organic life forms is carbon. No other element is linked to life to the extent to which carbon is so linked.

Therefore we often hear the phrase “carbon based life forms.” The life forms that are dependent upon carbon are of the earth, earthy. Therefore, we should not be surprised if we find in the element carbon a witness of the beast, and even the number of the beast.

All elements are classified by the number of protons, electrons and neutrons that are present within them. No two elements are the same. Only in the element carbon do we find six protons, six electrons, and six neutrons. Thus, the life of all flesh is marked with the numbers 666. 

Could God have engraved any deeper this stamp upon earthbound life forms? Consider now the following words of the apostle Paul:

 I Corinthians 15:50-53 - Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of God. That which is stamped with the number 666 cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Even after men have been born again of the Spirit they still walk around in bodies of sinful flesh. Therefore, these bodies must be put off before the saints can enter into the presence of God. All that pertains to the beast must be slain.

It was this last revelation that all flesh is stamped with this number 666 at the most elemental level of creation that led me to consider further revelations God has placed in the natural creation. Even as every living thing that lies under the curse is predominantly formed of carbon, and carbon has six protons, six electrons and six neutrons, we can realize that God has set parables everywhere throughout His creation.

 As I looked further at this element carbon and how it symbolizes sin and the curse, I saw further remarkable details. Carbon is a six sided crystal, and six is the number of the flesh man, sold as a slave unto sin. Carbon is black in color, and blackness has universally been associated with sin and evil. Where there is no light, all is dark.

 I knew at the time that I was shown this revelation that the number associated with the new creation man, of which Christ is the pattern and forerunner, is the number eight. It was on the eighth day that a Hebrew male was to be circumcised.

 This removal of the flesh of the foreskin is a parable of Adamic man laying aside the mortal flesh. Christ arose on the eighth day. He was the first to put off the flesh of this earth and enter into resurrection life, receiving a new, glorified body.

Matthew 28:1-6 - Now after the Sabbath (seventh day), as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave...And the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Yahshua who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.”

 After seven days, on the first day of a new week (Day 8) Christ arose. Yet this is not the only relationship between Christ and the number eight. In Gematria the name Jesus (Iesous in Greek) has the numeric value 888. This is illustrated in the following diagram.

After seeing the correlation of the number 666 to the element carbon, I began to wonder what element must pertain to Christ and the number 888. I looked at the Periodic Table of the Elements to see what element had 8 electrons, 8 protons, and 8 neutrons. I observed that the element Oxygen perfectly satisfied all of these criteria. How wonderful and appropriate this seemed.

Oxygen is an eight sided crystal. In contrast to Carbon which is black, Oxygen is colorless, being invisible to the sight. This is fitting as Christ is said to be “the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15).

Also oxygen is absolutely essential in order to have fire. In fact, fire is defined as “rapid oxidation.” Once more this is fitting, for John declared of the Son of God that He would baptize men with fire. Christ also declared, “I have come to cast fire on the earth.” How fitting then that He is represented by oxygen. 

More profound truths are revealed as we observe the interplay of Oxygen and Carbon in nature, especially in the process of respiration. As mentioned, Carbon represents sin, and Christ came to take away the sins of mankind. 

In order for the sins of man to be taken away, Christ must enter into the life of mankind. Man breathes in Oxygen. As this Oxygen enters man’s lungs, and is passed to the blood stream, it combines with Carbon which has formed in the cells, and builds up in the muscles and bloodstream. One Carbon atom combines with two Oxygen atoms to form CO2, carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is then expelled from the body as man exhales. 

In this is a magnificent parable of the work of Christ. Even as Oxygen enters into man and combines with Carbon and is expelled, so Christ comes into mankind and takes away sin. This process of respiration must continue all the days a person lives. When respiration ceases, so does life end. In the same way, mankind must abide in Christ all his days, receiving the life of Christ into his members. If he should stop this process, death would result. 

The Scriptures speak of the Tree of Life. It is understood in biology that trees perform the opposite function of mankind. Trees take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and they give off Oxygen. Christ is life, and in the action of trees we see the function of the Tree of Life. It supplies the life of God to the world. 

Revelation 22:2 - And on either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 

There are many other significant truths that God has placed in His creation, and there are grand parables contained in the Periodic Table of the Elements. If I were a chemist, or physicist, perhaps I would understand more of the profound parables contained there. As it is, I can see only a few basic details of this grand parable. 

The most common element in all the Universe is Hydrogen. The numeric value of hydrogen is 1. I believe this speaks of God the Father: Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one!” 

Hydrogen is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and highly flammable. No man has seen God at any time, for the natural senses cannot see the invisible God. God the Father is also described as “a consuming fire.” Hydrogen is said to comprise approximately 75% of all the elemental mass in the universe. It is everywhere found in abundance. 

Acts 17:28 - For in him we live, and move, and have our being... 

Colossians 1:17 - And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 

Stars are believed to mainly consist of Hydrogen, and the stars are the source of light in the universe. Hydrogen and Oxygen combine to form H2O (water). This is once more a source of life upon the earth, and it reveals that there is a parable in the words of the prophet Habakkuk. 

Habakkuk 2:14 - For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.

If Oxygen is the element representing Yahshua, and Hydrogen is the element representing Yahweh, then what is the element representing the Spirit of Christ? My guess is that it would be Nitrogen, which has the value 7 on the Periodic Table.

Revelation 4:5 - And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God...

Nitrogen is also colorless, odorless and tasteless. It cannot be perceived by the natural senses. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the earth’s atmosphere. The Scriptures portray the Spirit as a wind, and truly Nitrogen is the most abundant element that makes up the wind.

John 3:8 - "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." 

Truly God has set many marvelous testimonies before the eyes of man. May we have eyes to see the mysteries of His creation.

VLADIMIR PUTIN AND RUSSIA

Originally posted in November 2016 this post gives us insight into Vladimir Putin and current events in 2025. Past often predicts future.


President Trump appears to have a friendly relationship with Vladimir Putin so I am reposting. Mr. Putin is a Russian patriot. He loves his country and his goal is to "make Russia great again."


The fact is that Russia has never been conquered by any nation. It's land mass alone makes this impossible. A foreign enemy would never be able to subdue the entire country. Historically Russia has not interfered much in Europe's politics.


After World War Two the Communist regime lowered an iron curtain over many Eastern European countries. This was done for many reasons of which one was security. Russia has always wanted a buffer between themselves and Western Europe.


Historically, Russia does not start wars with Europe. There has been conflict, such as the Crimean War from 1853-1856 but Russia has historically pretty much been isolationist.


Since the end of WW2 Russia has ascended to become a powerful nation. They have always been suspicious and somewhat fearful of the West and their foreign policy has reflected this.


Arguably, I could say Russia and China refuse to become part of the Western Elitist New World Order. Russia and China have their own plans. They seek to dominate the world through trade and economics.


The Chinese are building the "new silk road" from Chongqing to the heart of Germany. Russia and their allies are all part of the plan. Trade is already being conducted outside the US dollar in Gold and local currencies.


The silk road requires infrastructure on a grand scale. China and Russia are assisting their partners in building this infrastructure which in turn benefits their partners economically.


The goal is to develop this trade with the European Union. In time the European Union will conduct the vast majority of their trade with this platform. There isn't much the United States can do about this. A great land mass is being connected and trade is going to dominate it. The U.S. is separated by two great oceans.


Our foreign policy has been to surround Russia and China with military bases in order to dominate them. The world is changing. America can no longer afford this military expense. America must join in or become isolated economically on the world stage.


These political and economic events are leading towards the eventual Middle East conflict and the return of Jesus Christ to Jerusalem as written in the Bible. We are witnessing prophecy being fulfilled.


In light of this the following posting gives us some insight into Mr. Putin: 

Vladimir Putin has been described as a ruthless bully, and to some degree that is true, but there is much more to this man than the west wishes to believe. Mr. Putin is a shrewd ex-KGB operative who has a vision for his country. The Bible says: Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he (Proverbs 29.18).

Interestingly enough, this proverb applies to Putin in every sense. He has a long range vision for his country and believes in keeping the law as it applies to Russia and international politics. He has been the President of Russia since 7 May 2012. He previously served as President from 2000 to 2008, and as Prime Mister of Russia from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012. During his last term as Prime Minister, he was also the Chairman of United Russia , the ruling party.

He moved to Moscow, from St. Petersburg, where he was born, in 1996 and joined President Boris Yeltsin 's administration where he rose quickly, becoming Acting President on 31 December 1999 when Yeltsin resigned unexpectedly. Putin won the subsequent 2000 presidential election and was re-elected in 2004.

He has never been pleased with the fall of the Soviet Empire and dreams of restoring Russian’s former glory on the world stage. He has been planning for many years to make Russia a major world player through the use of her natural resources.

Russia is blessed with a wealth of oil, natural gas, LNG (Liquid Natural Gas), coal, and uranium. In the communist days these natural resources were totally mismanaged by the ruling Communists. Putin has always believed that the key to Russian Empire is to develop the natural resources that the world hungers for. Since taking power in Russia Putin has been focused on this very thing. All of his energy has been devoted to developing Russia’s energy, no pun intended.

Mr. Putin was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in 1952. His hero when growing up was Peter the Great who began to take Russia into the modern world during the latter part of the 1600’s and early 1700’s. He grew up poor but through his grandfather, Spiridon Ivanovich Putin, he had contact with the Russian elites of the day.

His grandfather was trained as a chef and cooked for Rasputin, Lenin, and Stalin! He managed to avoid political contamination and outlived all his famous employers. Until his death, when Putin was 13 years old, he shared many insights with his grandson Vladimir.

Around the age of 12, while his grandfather was still alive, Putin started boxing and then moved on to judo, karate, and the Soviet martial art sambo. He would go on to become the citywide sambo champion. He loved the spiritual and physical demands these martial arts demanded of him. They also taught him be smart, cunning , and, above all, tightly disciplined.

In the ninth grade Putin actually went to the KGB to find out how to get a job with them. They told him he should go to law school which he did. When he graduated law school in 1975 the KGB recruited him. For the next 16 years he worked as an intelligence agent, was fluent in German, and was stationed in East Germany for five years in the 1980’s.

He resigned from the KGB in 1991 and returned to the Leningrad State University where he wrote his doctoral thesis on Russia’s economic resources being a key to Russian success and empire. After college, Putin entered politics in St. Petersburg, where he fostered a relationship with Dmitry Medvedev.

Later, after entering politics, Boris Yeltsin would name Putin as his successor after Putin put down the rebellion in Chechnya. To make a long story short, Putin was first elected President in 2000 and has shared this position with Dmitry Medvedev since then.

During Putin’s rule of Russia he has seized control of Russian energy companies which had been privatized during Yeltsin’s time in power. He has accomplished this by working “legally” through Russian law and by disposing the rich Oligarch’s who had bought these companies at pennies to the dollar when the Soviet Union fell in 1998.

These companies are now partly owned by government and share holders. Putin has taken control and they are now not only profitable, but developing Russia’s natural resources at a fast pace. Russia supplies anywhere form 25% to 90% of many European nation’s gas and oil needs. Europe depends on Russian oil and gas to stay warm in winter. Putin can shut off the tap at any provocation. Think about how this affects American influence in the region!

Russia recently closed two 400 billion dollar energy deals with the Chinese. They trade with Iran, Turkey, India, Pakistan, and all the other “stans” in their geopolitical area. They are the energy power in Europe and Eurasia. Putin knows how to use this energy power to Russia’s advantage.

He also supplies Syria and other Muslim countries with oil and gas. He has made a deal with Israel to develop the gigantic gas deposits off the coast of Israel. Russian energy tentacles have hold on countries throughout the Mediterranean to Japan. They are truly becoming a powerful and wealthy nation through this industry.

As I’ve pointed out in previous postings a new world currency is on the horizon. Russian energy is being sold and traded in currencies other than the US dollar as I write. Putin’s plan is to use the Russian Ruble, gold, the Chinese Yuan, or any other national currency to conduct trade--to the exclusion of the US dollar.

Those countries that trade with Russia will be pleased to trade in their own currencies as it will be cheaper and easier for them to conduct trade without having to stock pile dollars. This is how the dollar is going to be dethroned from being the world’s reserve currency. This is Putin’s long range carefully planned strategy. This will have a huge affect on America’s ability to finance her debt.

In the United States politicians only worry about getting elected every four years by promising the voters hand outs. In Russia they have a long range goal to become the world’s premier supplier of gas, oil, coal, and uranium. This will give them great leverage over the countries that depend on them for these resources. You can see where this is leading.

This is going to have a great impact on events in the Middle East that concern Biblical prophecy. Russia is going to be a major player in end time events that include Islam, Europe, and Israel. Keep this in mind as we continue this series.

RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD - GOD OF THE LIVING - TRANSFORMATION OF THE BODY

 When we become Hebraic Foundation believers we begin to study and question many things written in the scriptures. As we study and dig deeper into our Hebrew Foundations and the “traditions” of the Pharisees and Sadducees we begin to see, hear, and understand the scriptures with a new found clarity and understanding. Here a few examples.

 Attack By Sadducees - Mark 12.18-27; Matt 22.23-33; Luke 20.27-40

 There are many key differences between Pharisees and Sadducees. Pharisees believed in the resurrection at the coming of the Messiah, Sadducees believed in no resurrection at all. That’s why they were Sad, you see? Ha! Pharisees also believed all of the Tanach/O.T. could be used to formulate doctrine as it was all canon. Sadducees said, no, you can only derive doctrine from the Torah, the first five books of Moses. You could illustrate your doctrine with the other writings, but doctrine must derive from the Torah only. This must be understood when trying to understand the answer Yeshua is going to give to this attack.

 a. The Attack

The Sadducees ask a question from the Torah about keeping the blood line of a brother alive. A woman marries and has no children and her husband dies. He has six brothers who in turn marry her w/o her having children and she eventually dies. Even though Sadducees don’t believe in the resurrection (because they do not see it written in the Torah) they ask Jesus this question--whose wife is she in the resurrection if all seven had her?

b. The Answer

Jesus does not answer this question with Daniel 12.2, Isaiah 26.19, or Job 19.25-26 because they are not in the Torah. His answer is a new interpretation of Torah that witnesses to Daniel and the others--he indicates that the resurrection is not merely an awakening from the dead--but it is a transformation of the body from mortal to immortal. This new body does not reproduce itself--there will be no marriage--they are as the angels in heaven who do not reproduce.

 Yeshua answers with Exodus 3.6 that God is the God of the living: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God made promises to each of them that could only be kept later as they did not see the promise come to pass. Abraham knew God was a promise keeper and that if he sacrificed Isaac, God would raise him up from the dead because God had yet to fulfill many promises through Isaac.

 All three of these patriarchs had been promised they and their seed would inherit the land--but none of them had at their deaths. This promise to them individually could only be kept if they were resurrected from the dead! Our God is a promise keeping God! God has a living relationship with the patriarchs and cannot leave them dead in the grave! Contained in the promise to inherit the land is the promise of the resurrection from the dead.

 This was a new interpretation out of the Torah and the people and leaders were astonished at the answer. The Pharisees were impressed as they now had new ammo to throw at the Sadducees and the Sadducees will not ask any more questions of Jesus. He has answered their entrapment question on their terms and at the same time confirmed the rest of the Tanach.

The Trial of Jesus and His Substitution for Bar Abbas

 Barabbas was a robber, insurrectionist, and murderer. He hated the Romans and was involved in harassing them in order to get them out of Palestine. Barabbas is his Hellenized name. The writers of the gospels did not want to confuse the readers. Bar = Son of, and Abba = Father. His name literally means: Servant of Yahweh or Son of the Father.

 His first name was Yeshua = Salvation, son of the Father is the meaning of the name. He had the title--but not the reality. He was the one guilty of serious crimes--not Jesus. This procedure is interrupted briefly when Pilate gets a note from his wife pleading for him to release “this righteous man” of which she had dreams about that very night. This gives the chief priests plenty of time to incite the crowd to demand the release of Bar Abba.

 The next attempt to release Jesus was to have him scourged. There were two types of scourging: Jewish and Roman.

Jewish was 40, save one (39). The Mosaic Law forbade more than forty lashes. The Jews would count 39 and stop in order to not err and give too many lashes. Jewish lashes were short leather that only hurt the person’s back. Painful but not deadly. The Apostle Paul survived five Jewish scourges.

 Roman scourging had no limits on the amount of lashings. The lashes were long leather with a piece of glass or bone on the ends to inflict severe bodily harm. The long leather lashes would wrap around the entire body or face inflicting great harm. Many did not survive--Jesus would have been disfigured by this scourging. This fulfilled Isaiah 52.13-53.12 in that he was maimed and disfigured. He suffered greatly--and had already been pummeled twice before this. Pilate hopes this will satisfy the mob and for the third time says he finds no reason to execute Jesus.

 He then tries to turn Jesus over the chief priests. They then change the sedition charge into Jesus proclaiming he is the Son of God. Pilate speaks to Jesus in private urging him to speak because he can have Jesus executed. Jesus tells Pilate, “All power is delegated from above.” Jesus also tells him those who brought him here will be guilty of greater sin than Pilate.

 Pilate makes a 5^th attempt to release Jesus. He is told if he releases this man that he is no “friend of Caesar.” Pilate responds by moving to the judgment seat in order to pass sentence. Why has this comment caused him to do this?

Pilate was in a difficult position because his good friend, Janus, who was captain of Caesar’s guard, had got him this position. Later Janus was involved in a conspiracy to oust Caesar and proclaim himself as emperor. Pilate would have been under close scrutiny because he was Janus’ friend--he did not want to be accused of treason by releasing a man proclaiming to be a king.

 He makes a final attempt to clear Jesus by bringing him out and proclaiming, “Behold your King!” The crowd responds by saying, “We have no king but Caesar.” Pilate makes no further attempt to release Jesus. He washes his hands in front of the mob saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood!” The crowd responds, “His blood be on us and our children!”

 Only Matthew mentions this in his gospel--he is the writer focused on the unpardonable sin. Notice they said, “Us and our children.” There is no mention of the 3^rd and 4^th generation. They will receive their wish in 70 A.D. when the temple and Jerusalem are destroyed.

 Pilate and the gentiles are not absolved either. Only Pilate could have Jesus executed--he gave into the mob out of fear. Acts 3 points out his guilt and the Apostle’s Creed. In 36 AD Pilate was disposed and banished to Gaul--he would later commit suicide--he paid his price.

 Jesus is given the death sentence and Yeshua Bar Abba is released. A symbolic substitution takes place--an innocent will die in place of the guilty!

1.      The First Trial Before Pilate - Mark 15.1-5; Matt 27.2, 11-14; Luke 23.1-5; John 18.28-28

2.      The Second Trial Before Pilate - Mark 15.6-15; Matt 27.15-26

 The Conflict Over the Law - John 7.53-8.11

The religious leaders have not been able to catch Jesus violating the Mosaic Law since he’s fulfilling it in full. Jesus, however, is not concerned about whether or not He breaks the oral or Mishnaic Laws. In this section the religious leaders are going to try and get Jesus to contradict the Mosaic Law when they bring a woman accused of adultery before Him in the temple courtyard.(Tabernacles is over, this is the 8^th day, a special holy day called Shemini Atzeret.)

 They bring a woman before Jesus who they accuse of “catching in the very act of adultery.” The law of Moses commands a person “accused” of adultery to be stoned to death (Deut 22.22-24; Lev 20.10). They want to know what Jesus says they should do hoping He will say something that violates Mosaic Law. Jesus stoops down and begins to write with His finger on the ground or dust on the stone pavement of the courtyard. They continue to ask Jesus and as He continues writing on the ground. He tells them, “He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.”

 One by one they begin to leave as Jesus continues writing. He looks up and sees no one there and asks the woman, “Where are they? Did no one condemn you?” She replies, “No”, and Jesus tells her, “Then neither do I, Go and sin no more.”

 In the Greek the emphasis is not on what Jesus is writing on the ground--the emphasis in on His finger. The reason for this is that there are 613 laws in the Mosaic Law of which ten comprise the Ten

Commandments, of which the sin of adultery is one. The Ten Commandments were written on stone tablets by the finger of God (Ex 31.18; 32.15-16; Deut 4.13; 9.10).

The other 603 were written on parchment by a man. The focus on the fingers show Jesus knows all that the Mosaic Law has to say about this sin. He is writing in the dust of the stone pavement with His finger--He knows exactly what the law says.

 There is a lot going on here that is understood only from the Hebraic perspective. First of all if they had really caught this woman in the act of adultery, where is the man that was caught with her? They are lying--they are trying to entrap Jesus. If they are accusing her of adultery they need two or three witnesses to speak against her. No one has spoken up as a witness, they are speaking as a group. Under Mosaic Law the witnesses are required to throw the first stones. Moses also wrote that the witnesses must not be guilty of the same sin (Deut 13 and 17) the accused is accused of!

 Jesus was not telling them if they were perfect they could throw the stones--this is not about judging someone as taught in many sermons--this is about the Mosaic Law. The Mosaic Law did not require a person to be perfect without sin to judge someone--otherwise there would be no executions. If Jesus was telling them they had to be perfect to judge this woman He would have been violating Mosaic Law. He was telling them if none of them had committed this sin themselves they could begin the stoning. They all slinked away. This was an illegal condemnation and not one witness was willing to throw the first stones. The Pharisees won’t try this ploy again--they will only accuse Him of violating Mishnaic Law from now on.

 The Conflict Over the Healing of the Man Born Blind - John 9.1-41

Here we have the sixth of John’s seven signs.

     1. Physical Healing - John 9.1-12

As Jesus passes by they see a man born blind. His disciples ask, “Rabbi, who did sin, this man or his parents that he should be born blind?” Conceivably the parents could have sinned and through a generational curse their son be born blind. However, the second part of the question is one of not understanding how this man could be born blind first and sin be the cause.

 New Agers use this passage to infer that 1^st Century Judaism believed in reincarnation--not true. This is a point of Pharisaic theology. The rabbinic belief was that when a child is conceived they have two inclinations--good and evil. This struggle continues throughout life. In this case the child is born blind because while in the womb the evil inclination took hold, the child kicked the mother’s womb, thereby dishonoring the mother--therefore born blind. In that event anyone born blind will never see until the Messiah comes--another Messianic miracle is needed.

 Jesus says the man did not sin but was born blind for the glory of God to be revealed. Jesus spits on some mud and smears it on the blind man’s eyes. He tells the man to go to the crowded pool of Siloam and wash his eyes. This is an example of Jesus purposely violating Pharisaic Law. It is the Sabbath and Jesus knows it is forbidden by their law not to heal on the Sabbath--there is also a law that says how not to heal a blind man on the Sabbath! You cannot inject wine into their eyes or spit on mud and put it in their eyes! Jesus seems to be enjoying this!

The man washes at the pool and is geographically separated from Jesus--Jesus is not performing public miracles--and the healing creates quite a stir. The people need an answer and they take the man to the Pharisees for an explanation.

  2. The First Interrogation - John 9.13-17

Now the man is being questioned by the Pharisees and they are looking for a loophole in his story. None of his answers satisfy--maybe, they say, he wasn’t born blind. They call for the parents.

   3. The Interrogation of Parents - John 9.18-22

When the parents are interrogated they confirm he is their son and was born blind. They cannot say how their son has been healed--they are afraid of being excommunicated from the synagogue if they appear to believe in Jesus as Messiah. There were three forms of synagogue discipline in those days. A seven day suspension, a 7 to 30 day discipline or suspension, and finally excommunication. Anyone believing in Jesus was being excommunicated by the Pharisees.

   4. The Second Interrogation - John 9.23-34

The parents say the son can speak for himself. They call the man in and tell him to give God the glory, that he is a sinner. The man says all he knows is that he was blind and now I see. He is telling them that he has been taught by them his whole life that he will never see until the Messiah comes--and now he sees, and they are telling him this man is not the Messiah. They should be proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah--explain this to me, please?

They ask the man again and he asks them what they don’t understand--maybe they would like to become Jesus’ disciples. They reviled him. He tells them this is a marvel--nobody has ever heard of a man being born blind and then healed--yet here I am with sight! The Pharisees kick him out of the synagogue.

   5. Spiritual Healing - John 9.35-41

He never saw Jesus so he doesn’t know what Jesus looks like. Jesus finds him and asks him if he believes in the Son of God. The man asks who that would be so he can worship Him. Jesus tells him the one speaking to him is He. The man believes and worships Jesus. For a Jew to worship another Jew was an acceptance of Messiahship.

Jesus proclaims those who cannot see now see, and those who see are blind. The Pharisees ask if they are “blind?” Jesus tells them if they were blind they would have no sin--but because they say they can see their sin remains.

WASHINGTON D.C. IS A MASONIC ASTROLOGY STAR CITY CENTERED ON VIRGO THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN

The contents of this post may disturb some readers. Keep an open mind. Truth can be difficult to swallow. It can offend. Fact is, truth is truth…and it will set you free!

The goal is to understand the end times and our role as disciples of Yeshua. We are not called to rebellion. We are called to serve God and become disciples of His Son Yeshua.

The Bible says God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. After we learn the truth and gain knowledge  the next question is “What are we do to with it?” We begin our quest with this posting from May 2019. Also review the previous post.

There are more than 20 Zodiacs located in the center of Washington D.C. that are connected to Constitution Avenue. These Zodiacs are connected to the construction of most Federal Buildings in the city. The White House, Capitol Building, and Washington Monument Obelisk are the three major points of power in the city.

The Masonic Triangle or sqaure was revered by the Egyptians. Right triangles were used in all constructions and in Ancient Craft Masonry. For a Mason the strength and stability of the triangle, united with the life lessons of the plumb, level, and square, is the key to arcane knowledge of the Craft of Masonry.

The layout and design of the Capitol City of Washington D.C. was predominately developed and designed by Masons, of whom George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson were members.

The first buildings in Washington D.C. were the President’s House and the Capitol building. These two, and most of the buildings erected in Washington, had ceremonial foundation and corner stone ceremonies performed by Masons.

Many Masons of that era were also interested in astronomy and astrology. Charts were drawn to determine the best time to dedicate these buildings according to the Zodiac. The sign of Virgo was the predominate sign that was chosen to represent the future city and blessings thereon.

The constellation Virgo has multiple different origins depending on which mythology is being studied. Most myths generally view Virgo as a virgin/maiden with heavy association with wheat. In Greek and Roman mythology they relate the constellation to Demeter, mother of Persephone, or Proserpina, the Roman goddess of the harvest.

Another association is with the myth of Parthenos (meaning virgin in Greek), which explains how the actual constellation Virgo came to be. She is seen throughout all manner of myths. In Egyptian mythology, the time when the constellation Virgo was in the sun was the beginning of the wheat harvest, thus connecting Virgo back to the wheat grain. Virgo has the equivalent sign in Indian astrology as the Kanya (which also means "maiden"), and has even been connected with the Virgin Mary.

Virgo (♍) (Greek: Παρθένος, Parthenos), is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It spans the 150-180th degree of the zodiac. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this area on average between August 23 and September 22, and the Sun transits the constellation of Virgo from approximately September 16 to October 30. The symbol of the maiden is based on Astraea. In Greek mythology, she was the last immortal to abandon Earth at the end of the Silver Age, when the gods fled to Olympus – hence the sign's association with Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgo_(astrology)

Part of the ceremony at the dedication of the cornerstone was to bring corn, wine, and oil as a sacrificial offering to Virgo the “Wheat goddess” as part of the ritual. Astrological charts also would determine the day for these ceremonies based upon the position of the sun and other planets to assure the proper blessings upon the undertaking.

From 1791 through the 20^th century buildings have been designed and blessed in this manner in Washington. In fact, the entire center of the Federal area of town has been architecturally designed with Virgo in mind. There are many statues and Zodiacs along Constitution Avenue. Beginning at the west end of Constitution Avenue from the National Academy of Sciences to the East end and the U.S. Capitol the entire avenue is a sacred way dedicated to Virgo.

Secret forms of triangles, pyramids, and zodiacs are incorporated into the parks, monuments, and buildings along the avenue. Many buildings also have statues, paintings, and zodiacs in the hallways and meeting rooms. Many of the meeting rooms are not accessible to the general public, but our political representatives meet in many rooms in various buildings with zodiacs overhead.

All of this was not randomly designed but rather, it has been well planned by those members of secret societies at the formation of our country, who had a purpose in mind. This is truly a pagan “city of the stars” dedicated to the Egyptian, Greek and Roman gods of mythology whose blessings are sought.

This may seem like an outrageous statement until one begins to study and dig deep into the Masonic Craft. The high degree Mason, of whom many of our Founding Fathers were part, do worship many gods. When fully initiated into the Craft it is revealed to the Initiate the god that they are pledging allegiance to. That god is the Sun, the “Light Bearer”,   they are pledging to serve. Here is a prayer to the sun god found in the book “Secrets and Practices of the Freemasons” by Jean-Louis De Biasi a 32^nd degree Mason:

Oh benevolent Sun, whose immortal eye shines down upon all, hear me!

Your golden rays give life to all the earth: you are the brightest star in the firmament; you are immortal, tireless—a sweet vision to every living creature; hear my voice!

You orchestrate the harmonious clockwork of all the bodies in the cosmos. You are the master of beauty in all that we do; you are the youth who brings about the changes in the seasons. You are the master of the universe, and the sound of your flute accompanies the lighting of the circle of fire.

O you bearer of light, dispenser of life, provider of the bountiful fruits of the land, hear my hymn! You are the spherical eye of the cosmos, which spreads its beautiful rays of light to all who live on this earth.

Eye of justice; O light of life that rises daily in our sky, give to your initiates the sweet life they seek, and grant the people in charge of our government, who are working at the center of this great nation, bravery, insight, and wisdom.

May your power bring enlightenment to the hearts and minds of the people all around the world! So mote it be!

We know from the Word of God that Lucifer means “Bearer of Light” and that he comes as an angel of light to deceive the world. This is the god among gods of the Masonic Craft. Our founders dedicated the yet to be built city, to be named after the republic’s first President George Washington, to the gods of the Masonic craft. To these gods they asked for guidance and blessing upon the new republic.

They looked to the stars and zodiac for times and seasons to build this federal city. It was a rare and unique opportunity to build a “Masonic City” from scratch.

In the Capitol building there is a famous painting on the dome called The Apotheosis of Washington. It is the fresco painted by Greek-Italian artist Constantino Brumidi in 1865 and visible through the oculus of the dome in the rotunda of the United States Capitol Building. The fresco is suspended 180 feet (55 m) above the rotunda floor and covers an area of 4,664 square feet.

The Apotheosis of Washington depicts George Washington sitting amongst the heavens in an exalted manner, or in literal terms, ascending and becoming a god (apotheosis). Washington, the first U.S. president and commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, is allegorically represented, surrounded by figures from classical mythology.

Washington is draped in purple, a royal color, with a rainbow arch at his feet, flanked by the goddess Victoria (draped in green, using a horn) to his left and the Goddess of Liberty to his right. Liberty wears a red Phrygian cap, symbolizing emancipation, from a Roman tradition where sons leaving the home and/or slaves being emancipated would be given a red cap. She holds a fasces in her right hand and an open book in the other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apotheosis_of_Washington

This painting represents George Washington as a god, just as a Roman emperor was to be. Note the gods of mythology are surrounding him. In fact, President Washington was to be buried in the basement of the Capitol Building directly under this painting but he was later buried at his home in Mount Vernon.

The Jefferson Memorial is really a temple of Hermes according to Mr. Jean-Louis De Biasi who wrote the Masonic book mentioned above.

The Washington Monument Obelisk is an Egyptian power center. It is a symbol of resurrection that disperses negative forces, piercing the night sky, and attracting higher orders of energies, according to Mr. Jean-Louis De Biasi.

Finally, the physical layout of Washington D.C. has many hidden meanings. Streets emanate out from the Capitol building like sun rays. These streets then become triangles and pyramids when connecting with the north south streets. Specific buildings and offices are built within these triangles and pyramids.

Statues of gods and goddesses and zodiacs adorn the parks and entrances to many buildings. Everything was designed and built with a hidden mystery that only the elite members of the club understand and can interpret. A tourist has no idea what it all means as they visit these places.

The Bible says six times in the Book of Revelation that HaSatan, the adversary has deceived the whole world! Washington D.C. was not founded by men who followed the Christian God of the Bible. Most of these men believed in a god, but not the God of the Bible.

Thomas Jefferson did not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. He made his own Bible, now called the Jefferson Bible, and took out all the miracles Jesus performed. Jefferson’s Bible had the sayings and teachings in it that Jefferson thought were aligned with the “Age of Reason” that the French Revolution would later hold dear.

Many of our greatest founding fathers were high degree Masons. They were creating a republic based on Egyptian, Greek, and Roman mythology. They were creating a new order. A new form of world government which they hoped would eventually become the world ruling power—“Out of one, many”.

This is not to say that Yahweh has not blessed this country. We are in a spiritual war. Yahweh has worked out His will through America in many wonderful ways. Until Yeshua returns, however, the ruler of this world is HaSatan. He rebelled and attempted to take the throne from Yahweh and was cast down to this earth.

Our founding fathers rebelled from England. They did not want to serve the King of England. They wanted to free themselves from the Monarchy and create a new form of government. They wanted to create a form of government whcih they could control, govern, and guide.

They wanted to protect their rights. Their right to property, govern, and enjoy the fruits of their labor. They were the educated leaders of the colonies. They created a republic that gave them the initial power based upon their status in society. They wanted to ensure their privileged status and class in this new republic. No more Monarchy—free rule!

This meant they had to create a government that would enable the lower class to better themselves and enter into this privileged class through ambition and hard work. I think they achieved this aim. It has been a dream of the world and to the world. It is a great government of man, by man, and for man.

That does not change the fact that America was dedicated to, and designed for, the blessings of the gods. It is based on the Mystery Babylonian system. It is the brain child of members of a secret society and others who were not. The guiding hand was Masonic.

We are called to come out of Babylon. What does this all mean to those who follow Yeshua? How does this enable us as followers of Yeshua to understand the end of this age and the things which are soon to come?

We will consider these questions and many others as we continue in coming postings seeking knowledge, truth, and understanding which comes from the one true Elohim revealed and written in His Holy word the Bible!  God is going to shake the nations prior to coming the Day of the Lord!
