SABBATH-KEEPING BEES & SABBATH INSTINCT

By Slawek G, Edited by GWT

Some time ago back in Poland, I had a privilege to translate a series of health lectures by an American physician, Dr San Lee who shared with us a mind-boggling discovery about Sabbath-keeping bees. Later on, he repeated the same story on 3abn TV.

On the basis of his studies and observations he was inspired to believe that when in the beginning YAHUAH created a perfect world, Adam and Eve as well as all the animals, He gave them something he called a Sabbath rest instinct. It means that not only Adam and Eve but also all animals instinctively, or naturally, rested on each seventh day Sabbath according to YAHUAH’s own example (Genesis 2:1-3) and His commandment (Exodus 20:8-11).

Unfortunately, when sin appeared on Earth it introduced pain and death with associated fears and chronic stress, thus leading to a gradual eradication of that natural Sabbath instinct.

Nevertheless, Dr Lee believed that in spite of this negative effect of sin, in some animals especially those that managed to live in a peaceful, free from dangers and pollution environment this Sabbath instinct could had been preserved.

He said that some time ago he was invited to Brazil in order to present a health seminar for a group of Adventist pastors. And when during one of them he spoke about the Sabbath instinct idea, one of those Brazilian pastors told him that he knew certain beekeeper from Amazon rainforest whose bees never worked on Sabbath!

When Dr Lee heard that news he got very excited because although he had suspected that there could be some still existing species that managed to preserve the Sabbath instinct yet he never found any proof for that. So, he was exceedingly happy and grateful to YAHUAH that his assumption was now proved to be correct.

Together with that pastor they got into a car and drove to the centre of Amazon rainforest to see that fascinating phenomenon. When they arrived, they met the beekeeper who appeared to be a very kind and humble man who was living in a surrounded by a beautiful nature house without glass windows and ate only fresh, unprocessed plant food straight from his garden. He led a very simple way of life, and with his kindness and innocent appearance, he immediately aroused sympathy and trust.

When Dr Lee arrived there it was still Sabbath so he wanted to see with his own eyes that the bees were really resting. And sure enough, although there were many hives in that apiary, there were no bees seen around in the field. He was very excited about it and wanted to learn as much as possible, so he told the pastor to ask the beekeeper to open one of the beehives so that he could see if the bees were there. The beehives were made of empty tree stumps and on the top, they were sealed with a lump of clay. Encouraged by the beekeeper Dr Lee put his ear to one of the holes made in the clay, and when he did that he could hear a clear buzzing noise made by bees inside the hive. It was amazing that none of them was trying to get outside although it was a very sunny and bright day with plenty of colorful flowers around.

Then Dr Lee asked that man when the bees stop working and start their Sabbath rest. The answer he received made him even more thrilled as the beekeeper answered that the bees always stop working exactly at the sunset every Friday. It was so amazing! Bees keeping the fourth commandment and resting on every Sabbath beginning from the sunset on Friday, exactly as YAHUAH commanded in His Word (Leviticus 23:32; Genesis 1:5,14; Mark 1:32; Matthew 28:1).

Intending to demonstrate that nothing could stop the obedient insects from observing the Sabbath rest, the keeper made a large opening in the clay part of the hive. Through that opening, Dr Lee could now see thousands of bees resting in the hive, and in spite of the disturbing noise and damage they kept on staying there. Only a few of them came outside but returned after a very short time.

It was such an incredible experience to see the bees remaining in hives throughout the entire Sabbath, although there were so many flowers outside and so much work they normally love to do.

Dr Lee was also told that if someone wanted to move these hives, it could be done only after sunset on Friday, as otherwise, it would cause a big problem.

The next day, on Sunday, Dr Lee visited that place again in order to check if the bees were working this time. And he wasn’t disappointed as all the same insects were very busy in the field collecting pollen and working very hard all the time.

That Sunday, Dr Lee wanted to take some of those extraordinary Sabbath-keeping bees with him, so the keeper started catching them for him doing it with his bare hands and encouraging also Dr Lee to do the same. He explained there was no reason to be afraid because the bees were stingless! That was another amazing discovery about those unique bees. Apart from keeping the Sabbath commandment they were stingless!

In the meantime, Dr Lee called his friend in America asking him to do some research and find more information about those unbelievable bees. And his friend found out that the specie was known to entomologists. 

Although they did not recognize their amazing Sabbath-keeping abilities yet they provided information about stingless bees from the Melipona species in Central and South America that maintained a weekly work cycle. The honey produced by them is very expensive in Brazil because it has exceptional taste and medicinal properties. Dr Lee was given some of that unique honey and shared it with his mother, telling her that it was a special sweet gift from YAHUAH produced by His friendly stingless and Sabbath-keeping bees!

Normally, bees develop stings because they need them to defend themselves. However, since they lived in a safe, peaceful and clean environment, which was more like the one YAHUAH created in the beginning, there was no need to develop stings. And because from generation to generation they were living in that very friendly stress-free environment they also managed to retain that amazing encoded by YAHUAH natural Sabbath rest instinct. Other animals lost the same instinct, simply because they were constantly under the influence of fear and powerful stress, which has been known to cause gradual eradication of certain natural reflexes.

Later on, when Dr Lee came back to the place where he was teaching the same group of Brazilian pastors, one of them remembered that when he was a child often after attending the Assembly on Sabbath his father took him for a walk and showed him Sabbath-keeping birds. Every day the birds were very busy building and rebuilding their nests, but on Sabbath, they never worked! Below I have also included a link to a very interesting video about beavers that seem to keep the fourth commandment by resting on every Sabbath.

Obviously, as sincere Bible students and believers, we don’t need any extra-biblical evidence to support the validity of Sabbath commandment because the authority of the Word of YAHUAH is more than enough for us. However, it is so exciting to know about the existence of some animal species that seem to be a living proof that Sabbath rest instinct really exists and therefore it had to be encoded in the beginning in all living creatures including us.

However, the fact that some animals still seem to rest on Sabbath shouldn’t surprise us so much because as a matter of fact, the fourth Biblical commandment embraces not only men but also animals: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of YAHUAH your ELOHIYM. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your animals, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days YAHUAH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore YAHUAH blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy” (Exodus 20:8-11).

It is so thrilling to find some evidence that something like Sabbath instinct really seems to exist. It means that not only animals but also we humans were in the beginning created with it. And, although it was lost as a result of sin, we may pray to the loving YAHUAH ELOHIYM to restore it in us, because this weekly rest is an essential element of life and special time of regeneration and healing for the spirit, soul (mind) and the body. For this reason, the Son of YAHUAH performed more healing miracles on the Sabbath day than on any other day of the week. It was so because Sabbath also points to the final restoration and perfect redemption of sinful humankind which we can experience only through faith in Messiah. Keeping the Sabbath doesn’t contribute to this gift of eternal life and salvation but by keeping this day Set-Apart (holy) we give evidence that we have already accepted this supreme gift of eternal life through believing in YAHUAH’s Son and that we rest in Him. By keeping the Sabbath Set-Apart (holy) and resting on this special day, we manifest that we have accepted this finished and perfect salvation in Messiah YAUSHA and that we, at last, ceased from our own works (from trying to gain salvation and eternal life by our own good works).

And, this is exactly what Apostle Paul meant in Hebrews 4: 9-10: “There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of YAH; for anyone who enters YAHUAH’s rest also ceased from his own works”. On the other hand, if we know all this and keep on refusing to rest on every Sabbath we may give evidence that we haven’t yet accepted YAHUAH’s supreme gift of eternal rest and salvation in His Son.

THE WAY OF BALAAM

By Dave Hunt

Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Bil’am the son of Be’or, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;  

KEPHA SHENIY (2 PETER) 2:15

The story of Balaam is one of the strangest and yet most instructive in Scripture. He was a prophet genuinely in touch with YAHUAH and through whom YAHUAH spoke: 

And ELOHIYM came unto Bil’am, and said, What men are these with you?  

BEMIDBAR (NUMBERS) 22:9

(Verses,12,20; 23:4,5,16, etc.). 

Yet when Moab’s King Balak sent princes offering to pay him to curse YAHUAH’s people, Balaam was only too eager to do so. 

Money was his real elohiym/god and brought his remarkable career to its end in hell. It was Balaam who prophesied concerning Messiah, “there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Yisrael (Israel)” (Numbers 24:17). 

He was from Mesopotamia (today’s Iraq), the same area as the Magi who honored Messiah at His birth. Apparently these “wise men from the east” (Matthew:2:1)

NOW when YAHUSHA was born in Beyt Lechem of Yahud in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came Magi from the east to Yerushalayim,  

MATTITHYAHU (MATTHEW) 2:1

The Magi were alerted by Balaam’s prophecy to recognize and follow that star. Yet Balaam was one of the enemies of YAHUAH whom the Yisraelites (Israelites) “slew with the sword…” (Numbers 31:8)

And they slew the kings of Midyan, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Eviy, and Reqem, and Tsur, and Choriy, and Reva, five kings of Midyan: Bil’am also the son of Be’or they slew with the sword.  

BEMIDBAR (NUMBERS) 31:8

How can such contradictions be?

Many Scripture students wonder why the angel of YAHUAH “stood in the way for an adversary against him” (Numbers 22:22).

Hadn’t YAHUAH said Balaam could go with Balak’s emissaries? 

Yes, but only “If the men come to call thee” (v 20). Balaam didn’t wait to be called but all too eagerly “rose up…and went with the princes of Moab” (v 21). This was not Balaam’s first such deviance, for YAHUAH reminded him, “thy way is perverse before me” (v 32).

Here was a confusing mixture: a man used by YAHUAH in prophecy (Numbers 23:16-24; 24:2-24) and used by Satan in soothsaying – Jos:13:22

Bil’am also the son of Be’or, the soothsayer, did the children of Yisrael slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.  

YAHUSHA (JOSHUA) 13:22

(Hebrew: kawsam ). Kawsam is elsewhere translated “divination,” which includes any technique that automatically bestows spiritual power in partnership with evil spirits. 

Even King Saul knew that divination comes through an evil spirit, for he asked the witch at Endor, “divine unto me by the familiar spirit” (1 Samuel:28:8)

And Sha’ul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray you, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto you.  

SHEMU’EL RI’SHON (1 SAMUEL) 28:8

It seems clear that many of today’s charismatic “prophets” derive their “power” from Balaam’s occultic source. 

That door is opened through an unscriptural emphasis upon power, power, power: the power of the Spirit, power evangelism, signs and wonders and miracles. To point out that holiness and truth are the foremost purposes of the RUACH HA’QODESH (Holy Spirit) who is “the RUACH (Spirit) of truth” (John:14:17)

Even the RUACH EMETH; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but ye know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.  

YOCHANON (JOHN) 14:17

YOCHANON (JOHN) 15:26; 16:13) is considered “negative.” No wonder these attributes are largely missing from today’s boasted “great last-days revival.”

Consider Benny Hinn on TBN (with Paul and Jan Crouch laughing uproariously), telling with much merriment of a man’s wig flying off when he fell “under the power” after Hinn touched his forehead. The man pulled the wig back on, a bit askew, got up and Hinn touched him again just to see him fall and the wig fly off. He did this five times, admitted Hinn, laughing impishly. Was this YAHUAH’s power on display? Surely not! 

Then what power was it that caused the man to fall repeatedly, this power that Hinn claims to pick up at the graves of Kathryn Kuhlman and Aimee Semple McPherson? Such questions involving not only Hinn but many others must be faced seriously! Who will do so?

YAHUAH’s power is only for His glory. He would not allow Balaam to curse Yashar’el (Israel) (Deuteronmy 23:5; Nehemiah13:2)

Because they met not את eth-the children of Yisrael with bread and with water, but hired Bil’am against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our ELOHIYM turned the curse into a blessing.  

EZRA V’NECHEMYAHU (NEHEMIAH) 13:2

So to get the reward Balak offered, Balaam showed this evil king how to bring YAHUAH’s judgment upon Yisrael (Israel) by enticing YAHUAH’s people into the first ecumenical union in recorded history: joint worship between Yisrael (Israel) and the idolatrous Midianites. Ecumenism is forever identified as “the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Yisrael (Israel), to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication” (Revelation 2:14)

But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Bil’am, who taught Balaq to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Yashar’el, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.  

CHIZAYON (REVELATION) 2:14

(See also Numbers 25:1-3)

AND Yisrael abode in Shittiym, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Mo’av. 

And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their elohiym: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their elohiym. 

And Yisrael joined himself unto Ba`al Pe`or: and the anger of YAHUAH was kindled against Yisrael.  

BEMIDBAR (NUMBERS) 25:1-3

YAHUAH gives freely by His grace, and His servants are not to charge for passing on His blessings: “Freely ye have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8)

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.  

MATTITHYAHU (MATTHEW) 10:8

Satan, however, allows his servants, like Balaam, to charge for the occultic powers he bestows. Thus the “damsel possessed with a spirit of divination …brought her masters much gain by soothsaying….” The loss of this income as a result of Paul casting out the “spirit of divination” enraged her masters and caused Paul’s imprisonment at Philippi (Acts 16:16-24)

And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a ruach of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 

The same followed Pa’al and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of EL ELYON, which show unto us the way of salvation. 

And this did she many days. But Pa’al, being grieved, turned and said to the ruach, I command you in the name of YAHUSHA HA’MASHIACH to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. 

And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Pa’al and Ciyla, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, 

And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Yahudiym, do exceedingly trouble our city, 

And teach customs, which are not Lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romaiym.

And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. 

And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 

Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.  

MA’ASIYM (ACTS) 16:16-24

The money and fame to be earned from selling occult powers offers the temptation to yield oneself to deluding evil spirits. Paul warns, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith…” (1 Timothy 6:10)

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the belief, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.  

TIMOTHEUS RI’SHON (1 TIMOTHY) 6:10

Judas’s love of money made him vulnerable to Satan’s enticement to betray our Master:

“He was a thief, and had the bag [the disciples’ meager money pouch]” (John 12:6)

This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put therein.  

YAHUCHANON (JOHN) 12:6

Love of money was Balaam’s downfall, too. His protestation, “If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of YAHUAH my ELOHIYM” (Numbers 22:18)

And Bil’am answered and said unto the servants of Balaq, If Balaq would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond את eth-the Word of YAHUAH ELOHAI, to do less or more.  

BEMIDBAR (NUMBERS) 22:18

It only revealed his true desires. Balaam “loved the wages of unrighteousness” (2 Peter 2:15) so much that he is the prototype of the corruption money and fame breed: “Woe unto them! for they…ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward” (Jude 11). Offering spiritual benefits for money is called “the way of Balaam.” It prospers in the church today because multitudes are enticed to believe and obey those who promise health and wealth in exchange for a “seed-faith” offering.

In Miracle of Seed-Faith, Oral Roberts claims God revealed to him that the great principle of sowing and reaping so evident in the physical world also held true in the spiritual realm. One could “plant” a monetary gift in a ministry and “reap” miracles. In response to this false promise, hundreds of millions of dollars from sincere but deceived Christians have poured into the ministries of numerous “faith teachers,” making them wealthy. This “way of Balaam” is the shameful root of the entire positive confession movement with its seductively popular “prosperity gospel.”

This false teaching panders to the basest human lust for riches: 

”1 Jesus was rich” and therefore His followers must be rich. 

Kenneth Hagin says that to drive an old car instead of a new Cadillac isn’t “being humble, that’s being ignorant [of God’s laws of prosperity].

“2 Frederick Price agrees: “I drive a Rolls Royce…following Jesus’ steps.

“3 Such false prophets promise a “hundredfold return” for offerings sent to them. 

Gloria Copeland writes, “You give [us]…$1,000 and receive $100,000… Mark:10:30

But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. is a very good deal.

“4 Oral Roberts promises “PROSPERITY MIRACLES ” (emphasis in original) for those who “take advantage of the hundredfold return….” How does this differ from Catholicism‘s sale of indulgences? 

Each is simply the way of Balaam in different form.

Gloria tells how she learned to take authority over money and command it to come to her “in Jesus’ Name.

“5 Balaam would be envious! The faith teachers have all gotten rich—not by giving to others, but by persuading their gullible sign-seeking followers to give to them. Peter warned of such false prophets who “through covetousness…with feigned words make merchandise of you” (2 Peter 2:3)! That no hue and cry is raised against them in the church is an equal disgrace.

Peter rebuked Simon the magician for thinking “that the gift of YAHUAH may be purchased with money” (Acts 8:20)

But Kepha said unto him, Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of YAH may be purchased with money.  

MA’ASIYM (ACTS) 8:20

Yet the practice of charging for what only YAHUAH can give has become the norm in the church. Were he living today, Simon would find that his offer to pay for the RUACH HA’QODESH’s (Holy Spirit’s) gifts would not only be accepted but required to attend a John Wimber “Signs and Wonders” seminar to learn how to “operate in the gifts of the Spirit.” 

If there were no other reason to take a closer look at Promise Keepers (another Vineyard offshoot), the exorbitant fees they charge to attend their rallies would be cause enough.

The charging of fees is universal among so-called Christian psychologists. Should a troubled soul seeking salvation be billed by a church for the time it takes the pastor to present the gospel? 

Then why charge for “Christian counseling”? 

Yet a multimillion-dollar “Christian psychology” industry has been built by charging clients fat hourly fees. That fact alone is sufficient reason for dropping the “Christian” label from the psychology that has all but taken over evangelical churches, colleges and seminaries.

Christian music has also become a money-making industry. There are Christian musical groups who won’t come to a church or conference without being guaranteed a large sum to “perform.” 

The same is true of some leading preachers and teachers who likewise require a large guaranteed fee “to bring a word from YAHUAH.” 

Such servants of men are obliged to please those who pay for their services. Only those who ask for nothing but who trust YAHUAH and thankfully accept whatever may be given, whether large or small or nothing at all, are free as the servants of YAHUAH to faithfully speak “the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15)

But speaking the Truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even MASHIACH:  

EPH’SIYM (EPHESIANS) 4:15

After YAHUAH had told him clearly not to go with Balak’s princes, Balaam persisted in prayer, hoping to change YAHUAH’s mind (Numbers 22:19). The faith teachers claim to do what Balaam only hoped. Hagin claims that Jesus personally appeared to him and gave him four principles which will always obtain for anyone who follows them whatever he wants from God.

“6 Frederick Price more than agrees: “You are in control!…God cannot do anything in this earth unless we…give Him permission…through prayer.

“7 Behold the way of Balaam promoted in the church!

Divination promises man control over nature and even over YAHUAH. 

Paul Yonggi Cho (now David Cho) declares, “You create the presence of Jesus with your mouth…He is bound by your…words.

“8 Robert Schuller says, “You don’t know what power you have within you!…You can make the world into anything you choose.

“9 Mary Baker Eddy founded the Christian Science cult on this same delusion that spiritual power operates according to fixed laws. 

The entire faith movement rests upon the same belief that faith is a force just like electricity or gravity

“10 and it obeys laws. Thus even non-Christians can use it. Hagin writes, “the sinners…were [getting miracles by] cooperating with this…law of faith.

“11 Cho adds, “Sokagakkai [a Buddhist sect] has applied the law of the fourth dimension and has performed miracles….

“12 Pat Robertson describes his book Beyond Reason as “an effort to teach some of the basic principles that enable you to understand and experience the flow of God’s energy…and to enter the world of miracles….

“13 He teaches that miracles work according to laws which “are as valid for our lives as the laws of thermodynamics or the law of gravity.

“14 Robertson says, “The metaphysical principles of the kingdom [of God], taken by themselves, can produce fantastic temporal benefits” even for occultists.

“15 This is occultism! Affirming this same error, Pope John Paul II recently bestowed his Special Apostolic Blessing upon devout Catholic Jose Silva, founder of the Silva Method, a powerful occultic divination technique which openly involves spirit guides.

To what extent are church leaders involved with evil spirits? 

Oral Roberts claimed a seven-hour conversation with a 900-foot Jesus (strangely, not mentioned in his just-released autobiography) who told him to build the City of Faith Medical Center in Tulsa. This “Jesus” made false promises in exchange for money: there would be cures for cancer and other diseases if Oral’s “prayer partners” would each contribute $240. Simple, sincere people (who still believe him today) contributed more than the $150 million needed to complete the 20-story complex. There was no miracle, no cure for cancer or anything else Oral’s “Jesus” promised. The 777-bed medical center never had more than 148 beds occupied and went bankrupt in spite of additional millions of dollars given by gullible Christians in response to further false promises.

Had some Wall Street promoter, through similar false promises, bilked people out of a fraction of the money Oral got he would be in prison. Oral claims he was only obeying Jesus. Yet we know for certain that the 900-foot apparition was not Jesus, for He doesn’t lie. Did Oral hallucinate? A seven-hour conversation with a 900-foot hallucination? Hardly! Only two possibilities remain: either Oral lied, or he was lied to by a deceiving spirit. The courts can’t touch Oral. Only the church can bring him to account.

Yet Oral Roberts has lost none of his appeal on the charismatic circuit and is widely received even by evangelical leaders who ought to rebuke him. He is still hailed on TBN as a great prophet of God and celebrated by multitudes who continue to believe and support him. Tragically, Roberts is only one of many such examples that could be given. 

If Balaam were alive, what a field day he would have in today’s church!

“Father Time”

In fear of a prophecy that he would be in turn be overthrown by his own son, Kronos swallowed each of his children as soon as they were born.

Another symbol of New Year’s celebrations is equally pagan! It is the familiar figure of a white-haired man carrying a scythe. What does he represent? The ancient Greek god Kronos. It is from the name “Kronos” we derive our “chronograph” which measures time.

Among the Greek gods, Kronos originally cut a swath of HUMAN SACRIFICE with his sharpened scythe! The “silent reaper” anciently “reaped” little children in horrible episodes of mythical CANNIBALISM! This Greek rite of human sacrifice was adopted by ancient Rome, where human sacrifice was practiced at least until 300 A. D.

No wonder YAHUAH Almighty warns the pagan New Year’s celebration is AN ABOMINATION to Him! See Deuteronomy 12:31.

Janus Roman god

BY The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica

Janus, in Roman religion, the animistic spirit of doorways (januae) and archways (jani). Janus and the nymph Camasene were the parents of Tiberinus, whose death in or by the river Albula caused it to be renamed Tiber.

The worship of Janus traditionally dated back to Romulus and a period even before the actual founding of the city of Rome. There were many jani (i.e., ceremonial gateways) in Rome; these were usually freestanding structures that were used for symbolically auspicious entrances or exits. 

Particular superstition was attached to the departure of a Roman army, for which there were lucky and unlucky ways to march through a janus. The most famous janus in Rome was the Janus Geminus, which was actually a shrine of Janus at the north side of the Forum. It was a simple rectangular bronze structure with double doors at each end. Traditionally, the doors of this shrine were left open in time of war and were kept closed when Rome was at peace. According to the Roman historian Livy, the gates were closed only twice in all the long period between Numa Pompilius (7th century BC) and Augustus (1st century BC).

Some scholars regard Janus as the god of all beginnings and believe that his association with doorways is derivative. He was invoked as the first of any gods in regular liturgies. The beginning of the day, month, and year, both calendrical and agricultural, were sacred to him. The month of January is named for him, and his festival took place on January 9, the Agonium. There were several important temples erected to Janus, and it is assumed that there was also an early cult on the Janiculum, which the ancients took to mean “the city of Janus.”

Janus was represented by a double-faced head, and he was represented in art either with or without a beard. Occasionally he was depicted as four-faced—as the spirit of the four-way arch.

The “Spirit” Behind Christianity From Dagon To The Dragon

Dagon is where the word dragon came from. When a nation conquered another nation, they would take their gods and incorporate them into their existing belief system. For example, Simeramus (queen of Babylon) became Isis, who became Ishtar/Easter, who became Venus, who became Aphrodite, and finally a Roman pagan version called Mary. In the same way Nimrod (King of Babylon) became Dagon became Neptune, then Posiedon, and then Zeus, and finally a Roman pagan version named Hesus (later Jesus) who is actually Satan. The reason Neptune carried the trident, is the same reason you see Satan with the pitch fork. The trident was the article from the Hebrew Tabernacle for turning the sacrifice.

The Taneem (great sea monster Genesis 1:21) was created on the 5th day when YAHUAH created the fishes and the birds.

The association to the goat is also in scripture as well as in satanic worship. The goat fish Capricorn was also a direct association to Satan as well as the Hydra, the Septa (the sea Monster), and the serpent.

As I demonstrated in the second book in this series “The Mystery Religion of Babylon” Nimrod was the first antichrist ruling over the first attempt at a world government.  Beginning with Nimrod in Babylon, mankind began to worship leviathan they called Dagon later known as The Dragon:

Job.41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

Job.41:5 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon (or Taneem in Hebrew) that is in the sea.

Job.41:7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

This “Dragon in the Sea or DAGON the Fish God” called leviathan in scripture was worshipped by those in ancient Babylon and associated with Nimrod the first High Priest of Dagon.  Worship of Dagon spread after YAHUAH confused the languages and scattered humanity across the globe.  It was this religion that was prevalent and continued at the time Rome destroyed Jerusalem.  It was this religion of Dagon that permeated the high priestly ranks of paganism and was the foundation of The Catholic Church which even today continues to wear the priestly garments of Dagon:

The etymology of the name “Satan” is directly connected to Leviathan. Sa-TAN and Levia-TAN both are derived from the word Taneem (sea creature) which is plural.  The singular of Taneem is TAN.  Sa-TAN and Levia-TAN are simply later versions of the Taneem god Dagon later known as The Dragon. 

It is Dagon the Dragon that is the spiritual source behind the Catholic/Christian Churches based in Rome (any Sunday/Christmas/Easter/Trinity/J-sus church).  The Pope and priesthood of the Catholic Church is the high priest and priests of Dagon the Dragon in disguise (not a very good disguise actually):

The Priests of Dagon even to this day wear the “fish hat” and dictate Christian theology world-wide including Protestant Theology from the City of Rome.  Every fundamental doctrine of the Christian Church such as Sunday worship, Christmas, Easter, The Trinity, abolishment of The Law, pagan holidays, etc. were all Papal Edicts not found in scripture. 

Rome is actually called “Babylon” in The Bible because it embodied the same Mystery Religion of Babylon. 

1 Peter 5

The church that is at Babylon (speaking of the church in Rome), elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son

Once we fully understand what “Christianity” actually is, what it is based on, and where it came from, only then we can begin to understand why Christianity abolished the Law of YAHUAH, abolished His Sabbath Day, and changed the sacrifice of the Passover Lamb to the Easter Pig.  Every one of the above moves (not commanded by YAHUAH) were made by the Pope of Rome… The High Priest of Dagon… The Dragon.

The Mitre Hat

The priests of Dagon were known by their “Mitre Hat” which resembled an open mouth of a fish (the sea serpent or sa-TAN).  The same exact hat wore even today by The Pope as well as Cardinals and Bishops.  All “priests of Dagon (sa-TAN)” and the religion that surrounds them, even to this day, is identical to that born in Babylon.

As the pagan religion of Babylon was forced upon humanity by the Roman Emperor Constantine, the pagan aspects of worshipping Dagon, the fish god, was toned down as to not offend other religions as each pagan religion was literally assimilated into The Universal Church of Rome.  I cover this in great detail in my second book  “The Mystery Religion of Babylon”

Not only are the Ancient Priests of Dagon (Fish Worship) found wearing the mitre hat, but also the Pope and Bishops of Rome are frequently found wearing this mitre hat.  This “clergy” system forms a pagan priest class NOT defined in The Word of YAHUAH but rather clearly defined in Ancient Babylon.  And it is from this false class of “priests” we get every doctrine of the Christian Church and the foundation of Christianity “The Nicean Creed”.

The High Priest of The Dragon – The Pope of Rome

DAGON or OANNES – “He would go back into the sea to spend the night, because he was amphibious. He had the head of a man; covered by the head of a fish, and had the legs and feet of a man and the torso of a man, but was covered by the scales and tail of a fish. “

-Berossus; from ancient fragments

(Isaac Preston Cory)

Christianity (or shall I say Satan behind it) has done a very masterful job at concealing its true identity.  However, that mask is coming off as knowledge increases at exponential rates (mainly due to the internet).  We are no longer bound by the mental chains of the Christian Church who has made it a top priority to keep the masses in total ignorance.  We can now actually research its origins and test the historical accuracy of its claims.  Many over the centuries have questioned its rituals and practices simply because they cannot be found in the Bible.  But now, we can fully unmask this false religion and expose it for what it is… paganism dating back to Babylon.

“The great apostate church of the Gospel Age,  true to its Babylonish origin, has actually adopted this fish god in its ritual; for the pope on certain occasions manifests by his head gear that he is the direct representative of Dagon. As it was an indispensable rule in all idolatrous religions that the high priest should wear the insignia of the god that he worshipped, so the sculptures discovered by Layard show that the priests of Dagon were arrayed in clothing resembling fish. This is probably the “strange apparel” referred to in Zeph. 1:8. Berosus tells us that in the image of Dagon the head of the man appeared under the head of the fish, while Layard points out that in the case of the priests “the head of the fish formed a mitre above that of the man, while its scaly, fan-like tail fell as a cloak behind, leaving the human limbs and feet exposed.”                        (Babylon and Nineveh, p. 343)

The Dagon priests in Babylon wore hats that represented the open mouth of the fish, as if it were placed upon their heads – and the fish’s body was seen extending from that head and mouth, down the priest’s back to form a “robe”.  These exact priestly garments adorn the ranks of the Christian Clergy.

The horned mitre, which the Pope wears, when he sits on the high altar at Rome and receives the adoration of the Cardinals, is the very mitre worn by the priests of Dagon, the fish-god of the Philistines and Babylonians.”

– The Two Babylons ; Alexander Hislop; p. 215

Not only does the Pope wear this “Mitre” hat, but so do the Cardinals on certain occasions when they are dressed in their royal regalia… a far cry from the suffering servant YAHUSHA the Messiah and what he taught.  These “priests” of Dagon today known as The Pope, Cardinals, and Bishops have elevated their station literally to royalty among men as they teach “truth in unrighteousness” and lead the masses astray.

There is nothing in The Word of YAHUAH or the historical record indicating that The Messiah YAHUSHA ever wore such a hat or created such a priestly High Class of royalty.  The dress and the Royal Class of Priests called “Father” is nothing more than the Priestly Class of Dagon in bad disguise.

“…there are strong evidences that Dagon was Nimrod…. All scholars agree that the name and worship of Dagon were imported from Babylonia.”

– The Two Babylons, Hislop, p. 215

Not only does the Pope wear this “Mitre” hat, but so do the Cardinals on certain occasions when they are dressed in their royal regalia… a far cry from the suffering servant YAHUSHA the Messiah and what he taught.  These “priests” of Dagon today known as The Pope, Cardinals, and Bishops have elevated their station literally to royalty among men as they teach “truth in unrighteousness” and lead the masses astray.

There is nothing in The Word of YAHUAH or the historical record indicating that The Messiah YAHUSHA ever wore such a hat or created such a priestly High Class of royalty.  The dress and the Royal Class of Priests called “Father” is nothing more than the Priestly Class of Dagon in bad disguise.

“In their veneration and worship of Dagon, the high priest of paganism would actually put on a garment that had been created from a huge fish! The head of the fish formed a mitre above that of the old man, while its scaly, fan-like tail fell as a cloak behind, leaving the human limbs and feet exposed.”

–        Babylon and Nineveh, Austen Henry Layard, p. 343

“The most prominent form of worship in Babylon was dedicated to Dagon, later known as Ichthys, or the fish. In Chaldean times, the head of the church was the representative of Dagon, he was considered to be infallible, and was addressed as ‘Your Holiness’. Nations subdued by Babylon had to kiss the ring and slipper of the Babylonian god-king. The same powers and the same titles are claimed to this day by the Dalai Lama of Buddhism, and the Pope. Moreover, the vestments of paganism, the fish mitre and robes of the priests of Dagon are worn by the Catholic bishops, cardinals and popes.”

-The Wine of Babylon; Pg 9

ICHTYS  Symbol of “The Fish”

Dagon (fish worship of sa-TAN the sea serpent) is the source of the Christian symbol of the fish.  Actually it can be traced back to both fish worship of Dagon and the Zodiac Sign of Pisces.  We are “told” it is because some of the disciples were “fisherman” or that YAHUSHA would make us “fishers of men” among other excuses.  The truth is that it is nowhere defined in Scripture but yet… the real source of the Christian fish symbol is that of Dagon fish worship.  Just like the Mitre Hat.

“According to Egyptian mythology, when the judges found Osiris [Nimrod] guilty of corrupting the religion of Adam and cut up his body, they threw the parts into the Nile. It was said that a fish ate one of these chunks and became transformed. Later, Isis [Semiramis] was fishing along the river bank when she fished up a half-man, half-fish. This sea creature was Dagon, the reincarnated Nimrod.  And Dagon is the representation of Nimrod (of ancient Babylon) resurrecting out of the ocean depths as a half-man, half-fish.”

Smith’s Bible Dictionary Dagon Fish Worship 

– from “Ancient Pagan and Modern Christian Symbolism”

“Dagon is the diminutive of dag, and signifies… fish… The Babylonians believed that a being, part man and part fish, emerged from the Erythraean Sea, and appeared in Babylonia in the early days of its history… Representations of this fish-god have been found among the sculptures of Nineveh. The Philistine Dagon was of a similar character.”

–        Manners and Customs of the Bible; 

by James Freeman

This also explains the symbol for Christianity, the fish – the “Ichthys” which is Dagon:

Definition – “Ichthyic” – “of, pertaining to, or characteristic of fishes; the fish world in all its orders.”

– Oxford English Dictionary (C. E.)

The worship of Dagon also affected people’s eating habits. Now the mystery of why the Catholics abstain from eating fish on all days except Fridays comes into focus.  This restriction of eating fish is not found in Scripture.  Whether they realize it or not, they are practicing the ancient pagan rite of worshipping Dagon.  The Catholic Encyclopedia even admits such abominations of the “so-called Church”:

“As to the ritual of his worship… we only know from ancient writers that, for religious reasons, most of the Syrian peoples abstained from eating fish, a practice that one is naturally inclined to connect with the worship of a fish-god.”

– The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913, Encyclopedia Press, Inc

Remember in the Word of YAHUAH we are forbidden to have any graven images including that of a FISH or a CROSS.  It is commanded to have NO GRAVEN IMAGES at all of any kind period.

With that, let us unravel the mystery that lies behind The False Religion called today “Christianity”.  Who created it, what did they believe, and what is its goal?  We are going to ask the hard questions and in the process contest the most sacred rites and rituals of The Christian Church.

Circe (Church)–Daughter of the Sun

By Gary Amirault

As our Father allows me to look into His wisdom, I marvel at His ways, which are so far above me that only His RUACH HA’QODESH (Holy Spirit) can reveal them in ways I can bear. He raises me up on wings that I might be able to grasp a larger understanding. In the natural, sometimes a high place allows one to see what one could not see in the valley. The high places that our Father YAHUAH brings one to allows one to see the flow of time and peoples as one continuous big picture. 

All of a sudden the end, the beginning, and the flow in between becomes one wonderful thought, a gem with its many facets seen together with the light of understanding shining brilliantly dazzling my spiritual senses. Oh, what childlike joy when we are allowed to enter into the treasure house of the wisdom of our Father YAHUAH.

One of these wonderful gems is the story of natural Yisrael (Israel) and her daughters, Sodom, Samaria, etc. Theologians have spent much time covering up the wonderful truths contained in the Old Testament. Some denominations have completely severed the Old Testament from Christian foundational teachings. 

Others have not been so bold, but when one looks at the yellow marked pages of the Scriptures of their church membership, it is obvious that the three quarters of the Scriptures called, “Old,” has taken a very distant second place. And so we must repeat the errors of those who have gone before, ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the Truth. 

Our Father YAHUAH wrote a wonderful story upon the backs of a people called Yisrael. Had we been taught the true story of Yisrael, and had church history not been so whitewashed by church leaders, the knowledge I am about to share would have been seen ages ago. 

But the shepherds of our Father’s sheep have always been about the business of fleecing, robbing, and killing. We have been in darkness, but everything done in darkness will one day come to the light. Let there be Light.

What I am about to share, is not the story of Yisrael, the shadow, but the very substance of whom Yisrael is the shadow of. This is a true story of a woman called “Church.” She calls herself the “bride of Christ.” 

Beneath this main title come many others names of honor such as Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Protestant, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Charismatic, Pentecostal, Mormon, Reformed, Brethren, Quaker, Kingdom, Sonship, the Little Flock, etc., etc.. Over the last two thousand years, this woman called “Church” has taken on many thousands of different names. 

There is much in a name, especially when one sees that the affairs of the peoples of this world are governed by an Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent Creator who lets nothing slip through His fingers. Let us look at a name. . . a name the world is ever so familiar with. 

She is a woman who has attempted to conquer the world by whatever means she could find at her disposal, and she did it all to the glory of her God. 

Let us look at the name of this woman called “Church.”

For those of you who know me, or have listened to some of my tapes, you know I have spent hundreds of hours combing through many books written two to three hundred years ago. It seems our Father loosed much knowledge at that time. Much of this knowledge was in “ore” stage. It needed to be refined to be any good for civilization. This woman called “Church” took much of this knowledge and hid it away. She knew that this stuff was dangerous, dangerous for her, that is.

One of the books that appeared in this era, was the beginning of a household institution called “Webster’s Dictionary.” It made it’s first appearance in 1828. Since then, it has gone through many editions, revisions, and forms. But there is something about that original Webster’s that makes it easy to go through a door to behold something that matches to the horror and amazement Yechezq’el (Ezekiel) experienced when he dug his hole into the Temple wall, and perhaps equals the astonishment Yahuchanon (John) must have felt when he beheld that “woman.” Under the heading of “church” in the original 1828 Webster’s Dictionary, we find the following:

“Church, n. [Sax. Circe, circ or cyric; Scots, kirk, which retains the Saxon pronunciation; D. Kerk; G. Kirche; Se. Kyrchia; Dan. Kirke; Gr. Kuriokon, a temple of God, from kuriakos, pertaining to a Lord, or to our Lord Jesus Christ, from kurios, a Lord; Russ. Tzerkou.] .

1 A house consecrated to the worship of God, among christians; the Lord’s house. This seems to be the original meaning of the word. The Greek ekklesia, from ekkalew, to call out or call together, denotes an assembly or collection. But kuriakos, kuriakon, are from kurios, Lord, a term applied by the early christians to Jesus Christ; and the house in which they worshipped was named from that title. So kuriaka signifies church goods, bona ecclesiastica; kuriakh, sc hmera, the Lord’s day, dies dominica. 

2. The collective body of christians, or of those who profess to believe in Christ, and acknowledge him to be the Savior of mankind. In this sense, the church is sometimes the Catholic or Universal Church. Johnson Enclyce. 

3. A particular number of christians, united under one form of ecclesiastical government, in one creed, and using the same ritual or ceremonies; as the English church; the Gallican church; the Presbyterian church; the Romish church; the Greek church.”

The entry for “church” in this dictionary continues through 9 entries, but we have enough here to write a book. I am going to try to keep this in an article size, perhaps continuing into the next issue of “Dew.” For those of you who want more after reading this article, write for the tape entitled “The origin of the word ‘church’.

Those of you who have been in “church” or have “gone to church” for any length of time have probably heard that the origin of the word “church” is from the Greek word ekklasia written in English ecclesia which would translate into English as called out, an assembly, or collection. 

This may be the definition of the word ecclesia, but the English word “church” does not come from this Greek word. Webster says the English word “church” comes from the Greek word kuriakon meaning “the Lord’s” or “the Lord’s house or belonging”. 

Sounds plausible, doesn’t it? 

This is what the seminary students are taught when they enter into the halls or walls of christendom as they study to become “heads of the churches.” To most of you, this explanation would probably suffice, but I am a nosy type, and I like to dig. Looking into Young’s Concordance, I discovered this word kuriakon is not in the Greek text of our Bibles. 

Strange that the Creator of the Universe would name his body on earth kuriakon and then not use the word in His Holy Word. Something did not smell right, know what I mean?

I am in touch with many people who spend much time doing word studies, and play around with what has been called “etymology”, that is the study of word origins. I also read much material from different authors who have traced many of our “church” words to pagan mythology, especially Greek, Roman, Babylonian, and German or Teutonic mythology. 

Most of you are not aware of the fact that English is really a part of the German language. As a matter of fact, about 90% of the words in the King James Bible are German in origin. 

The English peoples are also called Anglo-Saxons. The Webster’s Dictionary says under Anglo-Saxon “A member of the nation created by the consolidation of Low German tribes that invaded England in the 5th and 6th centuries, together with native and Danish elements, which continued as the ruling power of England until the Norman Conquest.” Their language dominated England. Even the name England reflects this. I point this out so that you are aware of how German or Norse mythology has much to do with many of our English words.

Now Webster says that the root of this word “church” is a Saxon word “circe, or circ, or cyric.” 

Those of you who are versed in Greek mythology or in the Greek language should begin to be raising your eyebrows. 

This information is so embarrassing that Webster did what he could to hide this in his first edition, but later editions made it easy to uncover. 

In the Original Webster’s under the word “circ” are the simple words “see circus.” Who says our Father doesn’t have a sense of humor? 

But it gets more interesting than that! The first entry as to the etymological meaning and origin of the church is “circe.” Now for those who are versed in Greek, this connection is so obvious and embarrassing that Webster did not put this noun in his dictionary, but he did put the adjective which is “Circean” I cannot prove it, but I think this omission was intentional. 

Under “Circean” we find the following definition: “adjective; Pertaining to Circe, the fabled daughter of Sol and Perseis, who was supposed to possess great knowledge of magic and venomous herbs, by which she was able to charm and fascinate.” 

Later editions of Webster’s finally had the courage to enter the noun under which we find more information: “Circe noun [L., fr. Gr. Kirke.] In the Odyssey, an island sorceress who turned her victims by magic into beasts but was thwarted by Odysseus with the herb moly given him by Hermes-Circean, circaean adj..”

A couple of years ago Dr. Ernest Martin sent me a photocopy of an old book written in England with a cover page that went as follows: “The MYTH OF KIRKE: Including the visit of Odysseus to the Shades. An Homerik Study by Robert Brown, Jun., F.S.A..” It had a quote from the famous Milton on the title page that read, “Who knows not Circe, The daughter of the Sun?” 

It appears at the present time few people know her for who she really is. Dr. Martin opened my eyes and since then I have spent much time gathering the pieces to reveal Circe, Church, the daughter of the Sun, who mixes venomous herbs in “a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of the fornication of the earth.”

I will leave the readers here to ponder, pray, and marvel. Read Chizayon (Revelation) 17 and 18. 

Trace how the Greek Kirke became Circe in the Anglo-Saxon, which became Chirche in Church Latin who finally manifested in full glory as Church, daughter of the Sun, a woman who had the power to turn men into animals.

Feudalism Then and Now

Jerry M Lawson

History has weird ways of paralleling itself. Looking at the graphic “Feudalism Then & Now” above provides an interesting perspective. 

The idea we are today experiencing a kind of corporate feudalism has ample material to draw upon. The possibilities are alarming and what it suggests about human culture is chilling.

If all humanity has managed to achieve over the past 500 years is to alleviate a bit of poverty and make life a little easier for about 98.5% of humankind while maintaining the same structure, the same control, and the same hoarding of most all the wealth in the hands of the 1.5% and less (regardless what label we attach to them), then we’ve not progressed one step forward as a species and our civilization is a fraud, an illusion.

The sad reality is human beings have changed very little over the last 50,000 years. Yes, we have developed language and communication skills. We have created art. We have advanced materially and technologically, building cities, creating marvelous machines, gone to the moon and probed nearby planets, but the structure of our brains hasn’t changed. In our heads, we are still Stone Age hunter-gatherers who kill or strive to eliminate “others” we perceive to be in competition with us for control of vital resources. Our tribes have grown larger, but our behavior is unchanged. It is literally written into our DNA.

Part of our Stone Age hunter-gatherer mindset is patriarchy. Men dominate and that has led to the prevalence of two behaviors that must change if our species is to survive far into the Third Millennium. First, as noted we are wired to eliminate or destroy any group or entity we perceive as being a threat or competition for control of vital resources. In the past, this trait helped our species conquer and dominate the planet, but there are consequences and what was one’s primary asset becomes a nemesis as times and circumstances change.

What began as the means for protecting vital resources and ensuring our survival led us to use force and violence to achieve our aims and eventually to the development of war and the cult of the warrior as a means to achieve desired ends. Secondly, the hunter-gatherer mindset led to a propensity for hoarding and the consequent focus on the pursuit of pleasure. 

Pleasure includes more than the satisfaction of our physical needs. It includes money and the acquisition of wealth, profit, and more broadly, anything, activity, or object that provides happiness, delight, joy, gladness, glee, satisfaction, gratification, contentment, enjoyment, or amusement. The blind pursuit of pleasure at the expense of what is important puts the future survival of the species at great risk.

For all the illusion of progress and accomplishment, all we’ve really achieved is the killing and slaughter of millions while gaining more knowledge and building more sophisticated tools to accomplish it while destroying the planet upon which we depend for our existence.

Unfortunately, while our knowledge has expanded and our technological capabilities have grown immensely, we, as a species, have acquired little wisdom. Our brains are still stuck in the Stone Age and our behavior focused on trying to gather and hoard as much as possible at the expense of “others.” 

Today, three Americans own as much as the bottom 50%. If asked, they will admit that the gross inequality we have is unfair. However, don’t ask them to give up one penny of their wealth nor to lift one finger to change the system that made their accumulation of riches possible. They want control of “their” wealth, seeing themselves as better able to determine how to spend it than all of us collectively. By controlling their riches, they maintain control over us and never is the cost to society and the planet that occurred as a result of their acquiring wealth and luxury included in the equation.

What I find saddest of all is that even if we kept this worn out and cruel system of control that the graphic above reveals, those who have most, as noted, are incapable of doing what is in their own best interests to ensure the systems’ survival. All they need do is make sure enough wealth is shared so that every level of society can perceive and know that their lives and the lives of their children are getting better. They only need to curb their insatiable appetites a little so everyone can feel comfortable and optimistic about the future. Doing that, the 1% or less might continue to enjoy their wealth, lifestyles, and “special status” that provides them access and influence over decisions affecting all of us, and most of us will be content to focus our concerns on family matters and the NFL.

Sadly, the ultra rich are not that smart. The greed and lust for money and power are too great. Instead, they continue to hoard their riches, ignore the needs of the many and continue destroying the planet while they party, feast, and drink oblivious to the tsunami that is gathering on the horizon.

Even at the last moment when they finally understand their wealth, opulence, and power are meaningless and worthless, they will look out at a dying world in utter disbelief and confusion and utter, “How could this happen?”

Babylonian Symbols 

Long before the Christian era, crosses were used by the ancient Babylonians as symbols in their worship of the fertility god Tammuz. The use of the cross spread into Egypt, India, Syria, and China. Then, centuries later, the Yisraelites (Israelites) adulterated their worship of YAHUAH with acts of veneration to the false god Tammuz. The scriptures refers to this form of worship as a ‘detestable thing.’—Ezekiel 8:13, 14. 

The Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John use the Greek word stau·ros′ when referring to the instrument of execution on which YAHUSHA died. (Matthew 27:40; Mark 15:30; Luke 23:26) The word stau·ros′ refers to an upright pole, stake, or post. The book The Non-Christian Cross, by J. D. Parsons, explains: “There is not a single sentence in any of the numerous writings forming the New Testament, which, in the original Greek, bears even indirect evidence to the effect that the stauros used in the case of Yahusha was other than an ordinary stauros; much less to the effect that it consisted, not of one piece of timber, but of two pieces nailed together in the form of a cross.” 

Some ancient drawings depict the use of a single wooden pole in Roman executions 

As recorded at Acts 5:30, the apostle Peter used the word xy′lon, meaning “tree,” as a synonym for stau·ros′, denoting, not a two-beamed cross, but an ordinary piece of upright timber or tree. 

It was not until about 300 years after YAHUSHA’s death that some professed Christians promoted the idea that Yahusha was put to death on a two-beamed cross. However, this view was based on tradition and a misuse of the Greek word stau·ros′. It is noteworthy that some ancient drawings depicting Roman executions feature a single wooden pole or tree.

True believers should not use the cross in worship. One important reason is that YAHUSHA did not die on a cross. The Greek word generally translated “cross” is stau·ros′. It basically means “an upright pale or stake.” The Companion Bible points out: “[Stau·ros′] never means two pieces of timber placed across one another at any angle . . . There is nothing in the Greek of the [New Testament] even to imply two pieces of timber.” 

In several texts, scripture writers use another word for the instrument of YAHUSHA’s death. It is the Greek word xy′lon. (Acts 5:30; 10:39; 13:29; Galatians 3:13; 1 Peter 2:24) This word simply means “timber” or “a stick, club, or tree.” 

Explaining why a simple stake was often used for executions, the book Das Kreuz und die Kreuzigung (The Cross and the Crucifixion), by Hermann Fulda, states: “Trees were not everywhere available at the places chosen for public execution. So a simple beam was sunk into the ground. On this the outlaws, with hands raised upward and often also with their feet, were bound or nailed.”

The most convincing proof of all, however, comes from YAHUAH’s Word. The apostle Paul says: “Messiah by purchase released us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: ‘Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake [“a tree,” King James Version].’” (Galatians 3:13) Here Paul quotes Deuteronomy 21:22, 23, which clearly refers to a stake, not a cross. Since such a means of execution made the person “a curse,” it would not be proper for Christians to decorate their homes with images of YAHUSHA impaled. 

There is no evidence that for the first 300 years after Messiah’s death, those claiming to be Belivers used the cross in worship. In the fourth century, however, pagan Emperor Constantine became a convert to apostate Christianity and promoted the cross as its symbol. Whatever Constantine’s motives, the cross had nothing to do with YAHUSHA. The cross is, in fact, pagan in origin. The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits: “The cross is found in both pre-Christian and non-Christian cultures.” Various other authorities have linked the cross with nature worship and pagan sex rites. 

Why, then, was this pagan symbol promoted? Apparently, to make it easier for pagans to accept “Christianity.” Nevertheless, devotion to any pagan symbol is clearly condemned by the Scriptures. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18) The Scriptures also forbid all forms of idolatry. (Exodus 20:4, 5; 1 Corinthians 10:14) With very good reason. 

The cross came into widespread use in the Babylonian mystery religions. As Alexander Hislop wrote in his book, The Two Babylons:

The same sign of the cross that Rome now worships was used in the Babylonian Mysteries. [It] was applied by paganism to the same magic purposes, [and] was honored with the same honors. That which is now called the Christian cross was originally no Christian emblem at all. There is hardly a Pagan tribe where the cross has not been found. The cross was worshiped by the Pagan Celts long before the incarnation and death of Messiah… it was worshiped in Mexico for ages before the Roman Catholic missionaries set foot there, … The cross was widely worshiped, or regarded as a sacred emblem, was the unequivocal symbol of Bacchus,… for he was represented with a head-band covered with crosses.

The cross was widely known in pre-Christian times as an emblem that was a well-known Heathen Sign. The vestments of the priest of Horus the Egyptian god of light are marked by a cross. At Thebes, in the tombs of the kings, royal cows are represented plowing, a calf playing in front. Each animal has a cross marked in several places on it. Rassam found buildings at Nineveh marked with the Maltese cross. Osiris, as well as Jupiter Ammon, had for a monogram a cross. The cross is found marked on Phonetician monuments at an early date.

The druids were accustomed to select the most stately and beautiful tree as an emblem of the deity. Having cut the side branches, they affixed two of the largest to the highest part of the trunk in a manner that those branches extended on each side like the arms of a man. Together with the body, they presented the appearance of a huge cross, and on the bark, in several places was inscribed the letter “T” 

The form of the cross now used in Christianity actually had its origin in the letter “T.” This was the traditional symbol for Tammuz, the ancient god of the Chaldeans and Egyptians. Tammuz was the son of Ishtar, the goddess of fertility who is now unwittingly worshiped by millions of professing Christians on the holiday that bears a form of her name—Easter. The symbol for Tammuz is what the mystery religions call the mystic “T.” It is an emblem of great antiquity, and it is sometimes called the sign of life.

The shape of the [two-beamed cross] had its origin in ancient Chaldea (Babylon), and was used as the symbol of the god Tammuz (being in the shape of the mystic Tau, the initial of his name)… By the middle of the 3rd century A.D. the churches had either departed from, certain doctrines of the Christian faith. In order to increase the prestige of the apostate ecclesiastical system, pagans were received into the churches apart from regeneration by faith, and were permitted largely to retain their pagan signs and symbols. Hence the T, in its most frequent form, with the cross piece lowered, was adopted.

The lower case “t”, or cross, was originally used as an amulet over the heart. Sometimes it was inscribed on the garments of pagan priests, and other ancient pagan religions used it as part of the dress of vestal virgins. These women wore crosses suspended from necklaces which they wore during the celebration of their pagan rites. Hislop wrote the following about the “t” symbol:

That which is now called the Christian cross was originally no Christian emblem at all, but was the mystic Tau of the Chaldeans and Egyptians—the true original form of the letter T—the initial of the name Tammuz… The mystic Tau, as the symbol of the great divinity, was called “the sign of life:” it was used as an amulet over the heart: it was marked on the official garments of the priests… The Vestal virgins of Pagan Rome wore it suspended from their necklaces, as the nuns do now. The Egyptians did the same, and many of the barbarous nations with whom they had intercourse, as the Egyptian monuments bear witness.

Please, if you use this symbol, I strongly suggest a little bit of research and prayer should be entered into.

Roman Symbolism 

Remember Rome was steep in Symbolism. Rome already know the Messiah calmed to be Root & Offspring of David and that He came Before Abraham and carried ABBA YAHUAH’S Name  and being referred as the Tree  The Vine …. They knew We were His Branches … 

So symbolically the Cuting “The Tree” down to the ground separating The Tree (Messiah) from The Root (ABBA YAHUAH) and then Removed all It’s Branches (Follower’s of YAHUSHA The Messiah) was what I feel was being strongly implied here….. 

So they were actually saying when they Cut the Tree and removed It (Messiah) from it’s connection to The Root (YAHUAH) and Removed It’s Branches they were symbolizing the removing our Masters connection to His Root ABBA YAHUAH – His ABBA Father and had power to remove the connection We have to our Master YAHUSHA as Natsariym (The Branches) 

That was the message given in Roman Symbolism .. I feel in my heart…. 

Shalom!

What Is This Beast Recently Installed at the U.N?. Answers In 2nd Esdras Part 8B

The God Culture

The U.N. was recently gifted a sculpture that fits the description of Daniel’s 4 Beasts, Revelation’s Beast from the Sea, and Ezra’s Eagle Empire all in one symbolically. 

However, the dopes at Snopes attempt to marginalize and explain it away. No, they don’t. This is our interpretation of this symbol in the declaration of the rising world power, the Final Eagle Head.  Wait until you also find out where it came from. Yah Bless.

WHAT Does “IHS” MEAN?

The Satanic Roots Of The Roman Catholic Institution

Nimrod developed astrology, and laid the foundations for black and white witchcraft. Shem (Cush’s great uncle, Noah’s son, and a righteous man), appalled by his nephew’s evil deeds, killed Nimrod. 

Before his death, Nimrod married and impregnated his mother Semiramis. After Nimrod was slain, Semiramis convinced the people of Babylon that Nimrod was a god (the sun god Baal), and that she was a goddess (the Queen of Heaven). 

Semiramis developed the Satanic religion of Baal worship, including confession (for blackmail and public fear), secret societies (prefiguring Masonry, Mormonism, Jesuits, and the Illuminati), and the idea that she, as the religious leader, was the only medium to G-D (prefiguring the Pope). 

Idols appeared featuring mother Semiramis and baby Nimrod (prefiguring the Virgin Mary and Baby J-sus); her symbol was the moon (Isis, Diana), and Nimrod’s was the sun (Horus, Baal, Sol). 

Semiramis promoted baby sacrifices and celibacy for priests, foreshadowing Roman Catholicism. 

She invented death by crucifixion (crucifixes were originally occult symbols in Babylon and Egypt).

Semiramis bore another child (by her son Nimrod, while claiming she was a virgin) named Tammuz, who she maintained was the reincarnation of Nimrod (Baal). This was the foundation of the virgin mother with child archetype that Satan used to corrupt many world religions. 

In Egypt, Semiramis became Isis, and Nimrod became Horus (as a child) and Osiris as an adult (the pyramid eye of Freemasonry is the “eye of Osiris”). 

Sun worship dominated Egypt. Egyptian priests practiced “transubstantiation”, claiming to be able to transfer the sun god Osiris into a circular wafer. 

In rituals prefiguring Catholic Mass, the faithful then ate the “body” of their god to nourish their souls. 

The letters IHS on the sun-shaped wafers stood for Isis, Horus, Seb(Set) (later, Roman Catholics claimed they were the first three letters of J-sus’ name in Greek).
