True Sabbaths of the Almighty

Apart from the misconception with regard to whether Yah’s High Sabbaths remain applicable there is also uncertainty with regard to the dates

In particular, the Jewish calendar typically differs from the calendars offered by others who claim to have determined the dates from consideration of New Moons

Even within the latter group dates do NOT always agree exactly

I have never researched the detailed astronomical basis for arriving at the dates but DO know this:

1. These set-apart {holy} days remain valid, Yah expects us to observe them, there are blessings for those who DO keep them and curses and judgment for those who do NOT, especially for those who CLAIM to be people of standing in the service of the Almighty

2. To the extent that the sighting of the New Moon can be different in different parts of the world and could result in a difference of a day it is my understanding that the New Moon in Jerusalem is the defining New Moon date

3. To the extent that astronomy was much more sophisticated in the days of Moshe {Moses} than most people believe today the date of Yah’s New Year was NOT determined from observation of the Barley at Jerusalem it WAS determined astronomically – ALL other dates flow from this

4. There are traditional calendars which are incorrect, the Jewish calendar is apparently based on a very old calculation

5. The astronomical determination is significantly complex and requires careful study

6. I use the calendar from Qodesh Ministries at http://www.qodesh.co.za/ which, up to now, Yah has indicated to me is reliable

7. Someone has said to me that Yah’s High Sabbaths may NOT occur on a regular Sabbath -- since the dates are determined by the cycles of the moon it is my understanding that this argument is unfounded

8. It has also been said to me that the word “Moon” is actually an incorrect translation of “Month” and that a month was originally 30 days with an extra day every four months to keep in synch with the seasons and that these dates have nothing to do with the Moon. Note that there are indications that before the ice comet fly-by / impact that caused the flood at the time of Noah, tilted the earth on its axis and knocked it into an elliptical orbit around the sun, that the year was 360 days exactly and that the orbit of the moon may have then been exactly 30 days – see http://www.youtube.com/user/ProofOfGlobalFlood for discussion of the ice comet, the earth being tilted on its axis, etc

On the above Yah says that it is so that before the flood there were 360 days in the year and the moon had a 30 day orbit giving exactly 12 months. After the flood some of Noah’s family decided to adhere to the 30 day month with various models of adjustments and others to adopt the changed cycle of the moon. The former model has prevailed but since He had created the moon for the months Yah chose to remain with the moon cycle, as did Shem and Noah thus the moon based calendar for Yah’s special days is correct.

9. I have been working according to the moon based calendar for over ten years and have repeatedly seen Yah move on these days and, on one occasion I was judged for failing to observe the Day of Trumpets and engaging in commerce on that day. Accordingly I have a high level of confidence in the dates that I publish

10. I take it as a given that most readers are aware that Sunday is the First Day of the week and therefore NOT the Sabbath

11. It has also been suggested to me that the weekly Sabbaths are linked to the New Moon and that there can be up to two “leap month” type extra days. Yah has indicated to me that this is “not so” and that the weekly Sabbaths DO follow a continuous cycle of seven days with NO exceptions

12. I am aware that there is uncertainty as to whether Saturday IS the actual seventh day of the week or whether there has been some manipulation of the calendar at some time since Creation such that the unbroken seven day cycle from Creation would give the seventh day NOT corresponding to Saturday, to which Yah says that it is “not wise” to try and figure this out and that we should pray for grace and accept the current Saturday as the seventh day

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

2013.09.01 - Reminder regarding the Set Apart {Holy} Days in the weeks ahead

A quick reminder regarding the set apart {Holy} days that are coming

Saturday 7 September -- Day of Trumpets -- Yom Teruah -- high Sabbath -- no secular or commercial activity

Monday 16th (starting at sunset on Sunday 15th -- Day of Atonement -- most set apart day of the year -- high Sabbath -- no secular or commercial activity -- total fast, only drink small quantities of water and may take the bread and wine (grape juice) at intervals in limited quantities

Saturday 21st September -- first day of the Feast of Tabernacles -- Sukkot -- high Sabbath -- no secular or commercial activity -- date of the birth of Yahooshua {Jesus}

following 7 days Sukkot -- a time of feasting

Saturday 28st September -- Great day of the Feast of Tabernacles -- high Sabbath -- no secular or commercial activity -- date that Yahooshua was circumcised -- Priests brought of "living water" into the Temple

I encourage you to observe these days strictly as an act of love toward our loving Father in Heaven

If you have not studied these days as an important insight into Yah's calendar there are several articles on the website that you might like to have a look at.

2013.03.01 - Today is Passover, Easter is Pagan

A reminder that today, Wednesday 27 March 2013, is Passover

There are some differences of opinion as to the exact date but it is my understanding that this is the most reliable estimate

Today should have been observed as a High Sabbath, that is NO commercial work

I omitted to remind you ahead of time so please accept my apologies

Please remember also that Easter is a Pagan feast and should NOT be observed at all

All the trappings of Easter, the eggs, etc are Pagan and should NOT be used

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace.

2012.11.09 - Yah’s day begins at sunrise

Many years ago I received an article which claimed that Yah’s day begins at sunrise NOT sunset as is generally believed in Jewish circles and amongst the vast majority of believers who observe the true Sabbath.

I prayed about it, Yah confirmed that it WAS so that His day begins at sunrise and that sunrise to sunrise was the correct time-frame for observing the Sabbath.

I published an article accordingly and for some years observed the Sabbath on this basis.

However, over the years the enormous weight of opinion and convention regarding sunset to sunset tripped me up and I started more or less observing the Sabbath from sunset on Friday to sunrise on Sunday “just to be sure” -- a classic Rabbinic cop out.

In the last few weeks I have been troubled by this and last Saturday, as I was writing the various articles about blasphemous names, etc I became more troubled.

This morning I finally asked Yah about it and He confirmed that His day DOES begin at SUNRISE – Sabbath observance, both the weekly Sabbath and most of the high Sabbaths should therefore be observed from sunrise to sunrise.

Note that we are commanded to observe the Day of Atonement from sunset to sunset and that the Passover meal is taken after sunset.

As with so many of these issues the truth has been corrupted over time.

Conclusion

Yah’s day begins at sunrise and we should therefore observe the Sabbath accordingly.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

2012.06.05 - The True Sabbath

I received an email suggesting that “Jesus is the Sabbath” and that observance of the 7^th day (Saturday) Sabbath had been done away with by Yahooshua.

This is incorrect, it is an extension of the mistaken belief’s regarding the deity of Yahooshua and what he actually accomplished – refer to previous articles on the website on this topic.

In simple terms the Commandments given to Moshe {Moses} at Sinai were engraved in stone, they never change, furthermore, as a prophet who was 100% human Yahooshua did NOT have the authority to change the Commandment regarding the Sabbath or any other Commandment.

In considering these concepts it is important to recognize that the fundamental laws or Commandments whereby human beings and spirit beings will be judged on the Day of Judgment were in fact in place at the time of the Creation of Adam and will never change. The Almighty (Yah the Eternally Self Existing) was simply confirming those Commandments through Moshe because they had been forgotten and were no longer being applied. In essence by engraving the Commandments in stone at Sinai Yah was saying, remember these? They have NOT changed and they WILL NOT change!

It is also important to recognize that the stone tablets containing the Commandments were found a few decades ago by Ron Wyatt thereby reinforcing awareness that they will form the basis of judgment.

We will ultimately ALL find ourselves in heaven or burning in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone for a time or destroyed for ever on the basis of our observance of ALL Ten of these Commandments.

Accordingly, the question of the Saturday Sabbath is NOT a matter of academic interest it is a matter that WILL impact your eternal destiny.

If you are working on the Saturday Sabbath expect that on the Day of Judgment you WILL be sentenced to burn in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone which is the second death either for a season before entering heaven or until you are utterly consumed and destroyed if your other sins warrant it.

Conclusion

It is vital to understand that the Ten Commandments are cast in stone and will NEVER change and will form the basis of the Judgment.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

2011.09.04 - Upcoming set-apart days

I would like to remind you about the set-apart {holy} days that are coming up in the next month or so and encourage you to observe them strictly as high Sabbath's, days which should be devoted to the service of Yah and in which NO commercial or labouring activity of any sort should be done.

A Sabbath is a day on which NOTHING that could be done on another day (other than direct ministry) is done and this does NOT allow for making excuses because you are too busy or whatever. You should take leave from work on these days.

Note that in some cases there is uncertainty whether the day begins at sunset on the previous day and runs through to sunset the following day or whether these days begin at sunrise. I generally observe them from sunset the day BEFORE the date given below to sunrise the day after the date given below. The exception is the Day of Atonement which is expressly designated as being from sunset the day before the date below to sunset on the date below.

Note also that there are different opinions regarding the exact dates, the dates that follow are based on the calendar that I sent to the list early in the year which I believe to be the most reliable.

In this, as in all matters, I encourage you to go before Yah and seek His guidance.

The upcoming set-apart days are:

The Feast of Trumpets (Hebrew Yom Teruah) – Thursday 29 September 2011 – we are commanded to sound the Shofar (trumpet made from a Ram's horn) – I have Shofar's made from Kudu horns, it is a time of rejoicing and claiming victory.

Note that this is NOT the first day of Yah's year as some believe, this is the MIDDLE of Yah's year.

The New Moon is Wednesday 28 September and is also a time of feasting and rejoicing so this is a special New Moon because it ties in with the Feast of Trumpets.

The Day of Atonement (Hebrew -- Yom Kippur) – Saturday 8 October 2011 – observe from sunset the day before to sunset on the day – a TOTAL FAST – we should not eat or drink anything although I generally take a SMALL piece of bread and a small amount of grape juice and rehearse the covenant made by Yahooshua at the start and end of the 24 hours and in the morning.

If health-wise you cannot fast totally then I suggest only water in limited quantities or a slightly bigger covenant meal, three times during the 24 hours if necessary but a total fast is prescribed.

This is the most set-apart day in Yah's calendar, it is a time for introspection, examining ourselves, remembering Yahooshua's atoning sacrifice / offering, dealing with our sins, etc. It is a solemn and sober day.

The First day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Hebrew – Sukkot) – Thursday 13 October 2011 – this is a day of rejoicing and feasting – this is the day that Yahooshua {~~Jesus~~} was born.

The Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles – Thursday 20 October 2011 – the day that Yahooshua was circumcised – also a day of rejoicing and feasting.

We should remember the Feast of Tabernacles from the first day to the Great (eighth) Day as the time that the Hebrew's were commanded to remember their sojourning in the wilderness and Yah's supernatural provision for them.

Yah plans events around His set-apart days and therefore it is important to be aware of them and observe them.

Also a reminder that Christmas and Easter are totally out as celebrations or sabbaths, they are both pagan feasts that are abominations in the sight of Yah.

IF you have a need for an annual party and giving of gifts then the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles is the most appropriate day for this.

Conclusion

If you have not previously observed these days I encourage you as an act of loving submission to our loving heavenly Father to do so this year and every year thereafter for the rest of your life.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

2011.07.09 - Shavuot Dallas 2011

Download pdf version

I was impressed by Yah to read an email from a list that i have subscribed to for many years but seldom read the posts

Reference is made to two video's on You Tube which i have just finished watching

http://youtu.be/A03NEZaDEV0

While i do not agree with all that is said and continue to understand that the essential name of the Creator is Yah and that Yahweh or Yahooeh or Jehovah, etc should all be translated as "Yah the eternally self existing" i believe that the fundamental message about the true name is extremely important and that there is a strong anointing on these two messages

I encourage you to watch both messages and, as with everything, to concentrate on seeking truth NOT error.

I will endeavour to download and make available these two messages on DVD for those of you who have constraints on downloading it -- please email me if you would like a copy

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace

2011.07.06 - Observing the New Moon

Some months ago a friend mentioned that they were feeling convicted by Father Yah to observe the New Moons in addition to the Saturday Sabbath and the set apart feasts and fasts that I have written about previously

Subsequently I have felt such conviction myself

Today I undertook some research and came up with the attached article

As far as I can determine at this stage there is no particular prescription as to what one should do to celebrate other than sound the shofar (trumpet) and offer a sacrifice (roast or barbecue some meat -- lamb or beef) to express it simplistically

Attached also please find attached the Qodesh calendar which Yah has indicated to me I can make use of, the New Moon is "Rosh Chodesh"

Upcoming dates are:

31 July

30 August

28 September

27 October

26 November

26 December

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace

2011.07.01 - The Year of Jubilee

Somebody asked me about the Year of Jubilee relating to cancellation of debts.

I undertook research with Google and quickly found that there are diverse contradictory views as to the date of the next Year of Jubilee

When I prayed about it Daddy Yah told me not to concern myself with it. He said it is a highly contentious issue with diverse opinions and is not technically relevant because our society is not able to comply with the conditions for a Jubilee year and that anyway He is able to cancel debt as He sees fit.

Teachings that every year is a Jubilee in Yahooshua are false, there are very specific calendar requirements for a Jubilee and, by definition, a Jubilee occurs the year following every 49^th year according to a very specific calendar.

Conclusion

Technically there are still Jubilee years but we are unable to comply with the conditions for Jubilee and therefore we should not concern ourselves with it.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

2011.04.15 - How to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread

As I have already pointed out the start of Passover tonight is also the start of the seven day Feast of Unleavened Bread

Under the covenant given by Moshe {Moses} the believers were required to scrupulously remove leaven (yeast), representative of corruption, from their homes

However, Yahooshua {Jesus} repeatedly referred to the leaven of the Scribes and the Pharisees -- all the false teachings of men that had corrupted truth Faith in, and relationship with, Daddy Yah (the Almighty Creator)

It is my current understanding that what Daddy Yah desires us to do over the next seven days is to closely examine ourselves and our lives and REMOVE ALL SIN (leaven) from our lives -- recognize it, bring it before Yah, confess it, repent of it, ask for and receive forgiveness in the name of Yahooshua and make a concerted effort to live a life without sin going forward

The article on the Mark of the Beast summarizes at a headline level the most severe sins we all need to deal with over the next seven days

But ONLY Yahooshua lived without sin, I hear you cry

True AND Yahooshua said that we would do GREATER works than He did

I truly encourage you, if you do not aspire to do GREATER works than Yahooshua you are missing the mark and may well hear those words "depart from me you worker of iniquity, I never knew you" on the Day of Judgment

YOU should aspire to live a life without sin! :)

One of Satan's most effective lies is that OTHERS can walk in the power of the Spirit of Yah, the anointing, and we should look up to them -- NOT SO -- we should look to them as examples -- the WAY -- and seek to emulate them and exceed what they did

Until you can read the books commonly referred to as "the Gospels" - that is Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as though YOU ARE YAHOOSHUA, until YOU visualize yourself doing ALL that he did, until you desire to do MORE than he did you are NOT walking in your true potential as a believer

It is there for EACH ONE OF US -- YOU are the only thing standing between you and the full power and authority that Yah has for you

If you meet a highly anointed one, by all means sit at their feet for a season to learn from them, better still get them to lay hands on you and ask for a double measure of their anointing as Elisha did with Elijah -- pray regarding such a one "Father, in the name of Yahooshua I desire to know you the way ... (name of anointed one) knows you" -- see what happens -- when i did that in 1994 my bedroom was filled with the roar of the wind of the Spirit and Father placed His hand on me and I awoke with a mighty anointing and subsequently experienced for a short while what it was like to walk with the same anointing and authority that Yahooshua had

I am no better than you are, YOU can have the same or greater experience IF you are willing to lay down your life for Yah and make the sacrifices that are required to receive the power gifts of Yah

Pray daily "Father i ask you to do whatever is necessary for me to walk in the FULL anointing that you have appointed for me

AND deal with ALL the leaven of the Scribes and the Pharisees of the pagan Christian Church in your life -- refer the Mark of the Beast

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace.

2011.04.14 - Observing Passover TONIGHT

Passover commences at sunset this evening (18 April) and runs for 24 hours. This is also the start of the feast of unleavened bread which lasts for seven days.

The day of Passover (sunset tonight to sunset tomorrow) is a high Sabbath and we are warned that those who do not observe it will be cut off from amongst Yah's people.

On a high Sabbath we are commanded NOT to do any secular or servile work – we should take leave from our employment and not engage in anything to do with our employment. Also no shopping, no chores around the house or garden, etc.

We should devote the day to the service of Yah, praise and worship, ministry, reading inspired writings, contemplating what Yah did for Israel in Egypt and through Yahooshua for us now to deliver us from spiritual Egypt.

Passover is for the remembrance of how Yah brought the children of Israel out of Egypt and delivered them from the oppression of Pharaoh. It is also a remembrance of what Yahooshua did at Passover and how he suffered to make a way for us to be delivered from sin individually and without any other human intervention.

Exodus 11 to 13 describes the specific event, Exodus through to 11 describes the lead up and context to the judgment of Yah on the firstborn of Egypt and subsequent chapters describe the Exodus itself – you might want to read through to Exodus 20 where Yah delivers the Ten Commandments from the Mountain, the only time recorded that I know of where Yah has audibly spoken to millions of people. He then wrote the Commandments IN STONE – so they will NEVER CHANGE.

The tablets of stone with the Ten Commandments were found about thirty years ago by Ron Wyatt in the Ark of the Covenant, under the execution site where Yahooshua died, with the PHYSICAL blood of Yahooshua on the Mercy Seat of the Ark – necessary for a new sacrifice for atonement of sin and for a new Priesthood.

You might also like to read Exodus 34; Leviticus 23; Numbers 9, 28 and 33 and Deuteronomy 16.

The other important passages are Matthew 26 to the end of Matthew, Mark 14 to the end, Luke 22 to the end and John 12 to the end which describe the lead up to Yahooshua {Jesus} sacrificial death.

Consider how Yahooshua lived a life without sin, that is without leaven, consider how, knowing how he would die, he CHOSE to come to earth, chose to go up to Jerusalem, chose to go out to the garden and CHOSE TO SUBMIT to those who unjustly tormented him, tortured him and executed him – and ask yourself whether YOU are willing to be that obedient to Yah.

For some years now I have observed Passover by eating a piece of plain roast lamb for the evening meal together with observing the covenant – the bread and wine and reflecting on what Yah and Yahooshua have done for me and giving thanks accordingly.

I usually spend the day itself as described above.

The rest of the Feast of Unleavened Bread are normal working days. I do not eat unleavened bread but I do take the covenant meal every morning and reflect on sin (leaven speaks of sin) and ask Yah to cleanse me and my house of sin – it is up to each of us to seek Yah as to how He wants us to observe Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Conclusion

Contemplate what Passover means to you, give thanks and rededicate yourself to the service of Yah and chose to seek to be as faithful as Yahooshua was.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
