DON'T LET THE DEVIL DECEIVE YOU!

Dear Followers, this Post started as a response to a comment to my last Post The Devil Deceiveth the Whole World the sentiments encapsulated in the two responses from the commenter is the central theme of the error of Modern-Day Christendom. Herein is my response to the errant theology of man.

I see you are still persistent in saying that all Scriptures in the Holy Bible "are not for us today". Even though Jesus says, “He does not change” . What are you saying? Is it that, “The law is no more”, or that, “The law was only for Moses and the Prophets?

First off, Moses had no law. It is not the Law of Moses, it is the Law of the Lord. As for the congregation, Israel is the Church that was in the days of Moses, Acts 7:37-38. That same church (Israel) is the congregation of the Lord, 1 Chronicles 28:8.

Even before Jesus was born the Angel told Mary that she would have a son and He would sit on the throne of His father David, and shall reign over the house of Jacob (Israel) for ever, Luke 1:26-33.
Israel is the congregation, and if you want your salvation, you must do all the things that Israel did, whose father was Abraham, John 8:39, and what did faithful Abraham do? He kept the Lord’s commandments, statues and laws, Genesis 26:5. Yet you say the Law is no more; that we are under grace.

If Israel is not the Church, please show me one Prophet or Apostle, or King, or Priest, that was not an Israelite! As for the son that was stoned to death for disobedience, Deuteronomy 21:18-21, and the people that made the Golden calf, while Moses was up on Mount Sinai with the Lord, Genesis 32:1-35, and worshipped the calf; three thousand men died that day, and there are many more stories like that.

However, today people pay no attention. Take for example, the children of Israel found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath Day, they brought him to Moses because they did not know what to do with him. The Lord said unto Moses, “The man shall be put to death, Numbers 15:32-36. For that is what the Lord told Moses in Exodus 31:14.

Now the reason that these things were done, was for our example, 1 Corinthians 10:1-7. If you were to keep reading in 1 Corinthians 10, you see that there were many examples of the children of Israel being disobedient. See, because a son is disobedient today, or one pollutes the Sabbath, and is not put to death, just know, that they are not getting away, they are just getting by until the Lord comes.

Remember when the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman to Jesus, whom they had caught in adultery, in the very act, John 8:1-18. They quoted to Him the Law of Moses, really God’s Law, Leviticus 20:1, 10. The law stated that the woman should be stoned, however, Jesus told them, “He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.” You see, we all sin and are unclean. That is why people are not put to death.

Remember what Jesus told the woman when her accusers were all convicted in their own hearts, and went their separate ways? He told the woman, “Go and sin no more”, which is a warning that we all should take very seriously. The Lord gave a parable of the Wheat and Tares, Matthew 13:24-30, :36-42, in which the Lord said “Let the tares and the wheat grow together, and that He would separate them at the harvest”, which is the end of the world; the White Throne Judgment.

The "Wheat" is the good seed and the "Tares" are the children of the wicked one. The enemy that sowed them is the Devil. That is why people that do not keep the Sabbath, or dietary laws, or honor and keep the Lord’s Holy Days, and say that that “the law is no more”, are the tares of this world and the Lord and His Angels will separate them at the harvest (Judgment Day).

These same Scriptures, that you say are not for us today, are the same ones that will be a witness against all the people which say that these Scriptures “are not for us”, Revelation 20:12, 15. As for the books that were opened, the Bible is the “books”, and the “other book” is the Lamb’s Book of Life. The Scriptures say, “…and the dead were judged out of the things which are written in the books, according to their works”. Now, I ask are you wheat, or a tare that is just getting by, but not getting away??

Oh, by the way, the Body of Christ is Israel – the Church! God’s word was good then; all of it is good for us today.

Peace,

JESUS THE UNKNOWN GOD

I have been sitting here thinking, what I should speak/teach regarding the Holy Scriptures as I was going through my class notes I saw the title, “Jesus the Unknown God”. I concluded that this would be the perfect subject to post about.

Everyone says they know Jesus, especially church folks, however, do they really. The Jesus of the Bible did not start with Mary, but is from everlasting to everlasting, Psalms 106:48. You see, no man has ever seen Jesus, John 1:18, only the begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.

Moses Saw God, Exodus 33:12-23; Exodus 34:1-9, and heard His voice, because when God passed by Moses He proclaimed the name of the Lord. The scripture does not say what name He proclaimed, but we do know that Moses knew God’s name, Exodus 6:2-3. But what name did the Lord proclaim to Moses?

Turn to John 5:37, we read where Jesus the Christ is telling the Jews, “You have never heard the Father’s voice nor seen His shape. Now, Moses heard His voice and saw God’s shape, Exodus 33:23. Jesus also tells us the Father’s name, for Jesus said that He came in the Father’s name. Now, some teach that He is not saying that Jesus is the Father’s name, when He clearly says, “I come in My Father’s name”. If this line of reasoning be the case, “What name did He come in?”
First, let’s take a look at Matthew 28:19. Here we see Jesus telling His disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost. Well, if we are to baptize in the Father’s name we must know it. Turn to Philippians 2:5-6, these scriptures say when Jesus Christ was in the form of God, He was equal to God.

Let’s find out when Jesus was in the form of God, and what His name was. Turn to Exodus 6:2-3, the Lord tells Moses that His name is Jehovah. He was the One which came down on the mountain and gave them the Ten Commandments, Exodus 19:15-25; Exodus 20:1-17.
He also followed them in the wilderness in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, Exodus 13:21-22. Now, turn to 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, we read that it was Christ that followed them in the wilderness, when His name was Jehovah. Other Scriptures will tell you how a body was prepared for Him by the Father, Hebrew 10:5, so that He could die for the sins of the people. In Philippians 2:7-10 we read here that God gave him (Jehovah) a name above every name. He (the Father) gave Him (Jehovah) His name Jesus, “that every knee shall bow at the name of Jesus”.

So, we see that the Father gave Jehovah His name when He became man (flesh and blood). The Lord said in Psalms 22:1, 16-18, 22, that He will declare the Father’s name in the midst of the congregation. In Hebrews 2:9, 12, we see that it is Jehovah/Jesus that was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, and that he would declare they name unto my brothers in the midst of the church (Israel). In John 17th chapter, Jesus knew when His hour was come, he prayed to the Father to give back the glory He had with the Father before the world was, John 17:5, and he also revealed the Father’s name to the men that were with Him, John 17:6. He also said that He declared the Father’s name to them (the congregation) and will declare it, John 17:26.

So, I ask, what name did Jesus declare? It is the Father that sent Jesus in His name. So many people kick against the name of Jesus or say that there are other names that are God’s name, but the Lord said that His name would be great among the Gentiles and nations, Malachi 1:11.
All we have to do is find out what name the Gentiles call on and preach about the most and you have found out God’s name. In Isaiah 12:2, we read where Jehovah has become our salvation. When did Jehovah become our salvation? Before we go read it, let’s take a quick detour. Turn to Jeremiah 15:16, the Lord Jehovah said, “I am called by Thy name Lord God of Hosts”. Now, what name would that be?

Let’s read when Jehovah became out salvation, in Acts 4:10, 12, we see that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Neither is there salvation in any other name under heaven whereby men might be saved but, Jesus. So what is the name of the one that sent Jehovah? It is the Father whose name is Jesus!

This is the God that no man has ever heard His voice or seen His shape, John 5:37. Jesus tells us throughout the gospel that He was sent by the Father. Jesus tell us, also, that the words that He speaks are not His, but the Father’s, John 14:24, which gave them to Him, Revelation 1:1.
Let’s turn to John 6:38-40. Jesus tells us that He came down to do the will of Him that sent Me. He also says the same thing when he was Jehovah. Turn to Isaiah 48:16, here he tells us that the Lord God hath sent Me. In Zechariah 2:7-11, the Lord tells Israel that the Lord of Host hast sent Him , read verse 8 and you see the Lord is talking about being sent, also, in verse 11, He says the same thing.

Here, if you have any understanding, you can see that Jehovah is telling us that He was sent by Jesus, who is the Father.

You know, what I really do not understand is how people can change or try to change God’s words, like the dietary laws, law of circumcision; the Sabbath day, etc., etc., etc., because these are the Father’s words that He gave to Jehovah, who gave them to us. But people have lied on His (the Father’s) words, Isaiah 24:5. Some think that they can do this and the Father (Jesus) won’t get angry.

Let’s take a look at a time when Jesus (the Father) got angry. In Matthew27:45-51, we read where the Lord Jesus was on the cross and that it god dark at noon. Now why did it get dark from the sixth hour until the ninth hour, over all the land? Then Jesus cried unto the Father and some said let him be “let’s see if Elias will save Him”. After this Jesus cried again and gave up the ghost (died). The veil in the temple ripped and the earth quaked, while they were busy crucifying the Lord, the Father became angry. Turn to Psalms 18:6-12, here we read that the Lord called unto the Father (Jesus) and He heard His voice in His temple and He came down and He was wroth (angry) He made darkness His secret place and rode upon a cherub.

So you can see the Father was angry, and He came down to see what they were doing to His son. Now, you know why it became dark at noonday. That is why Jesus told His son to sit at His right hand until He makes His enemies His footstool, Psalms 110:1.

The Father sits on a throne in Heaven, Revelation 5:1, this is where Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father. Jesus never promised us that we would sit with the Father on His throne, as He has, but that we would sit with Him on His throne, Revelation 3:21, the throne that the Father gave Him, Luke 1:26-27, 30-33, the throne of His father David. Let’s just find out where David’s throne is.

In 1 Chronicles 29:26-27, we read that David’s throne is in Jerusalem. So Jesus will pick up His Kingship of Israel when He returns to the Earth, the title that He had before when He was Jehovah. 1 Samuel 8:5-7, 1 Samuel 12:1, 12. We see that Jesus, the Son’s, throne will be in Jerusalem. And Jesus, whom no man has ever seen dwells in Heaven. He is waiting for His creation to become perfect, which the Word will do. Oh yes, the Word is Jehovah, who became flesh. In John 1:1-3, John 1:14, if you look closely at what verses 1-3 are really saying: In the beginning was Jehovah (the Word) and Jehovah (the Word) was with Jesus (Father God), and Jehovah was God, Jehovah has been with Jesus (Father God) from the beginning, and Jehovah (the Word) created all things. Jehovah is also the beginning of Jesus’ (the Father’s) creation, Revelation 3:14.

Now, I want to ask, when did the Father’s creation begin? I thought on the matter and was in church when we were doing a lesson and it was revealed to me. I was giving thought about the creation after reading Revelation 3:14, I was thinking about the Angels, when they were created, I also was thinking about the dinosaurs, which were on the earth and created before Adam on the other side of the first flood, (you know, the one in Genesis 1:1-2), when I realized that flesh and blood can not enter into the Father’s Kingdom, 1 Corinthians 15:50. For you see the Son has a Kingdom that the Father will give Him, Daniel 7:13-14. Now in the Son’s Kingdom there will be spirit beings and flesh and blood beings.

So, I ask, if this is Jehovah’s Kingdom, which will be on the Earth and His Kingdom really began with the creation of Adam and Eve, in Genesis 1 and 2, then when did the Father's Kingdom begin? It began when Jesus rose from the dead. That is when Jesus (who was Jehovah) became the Father’s Son, Romans 1:3-4. He received all power, like the Father has, Matthew 28:18. The Father’s Kingdom will have no flesh and blood creatures, and that is why Jesus told us in John 3:3, except a man be born again he can not see the Kingdom of God (the Father). As Jesus said in Revelation 3:14, He is the beginning of the Father’s creation, in Colossians 1:15 it tells us that Jess is the first born of every creature (Sons of God), that will be in the fathers kingdom (Paradise).

Let’s take a look at the Father’s Kingdom, which will come after Jesus has ruled on the earth for a thousand years, with His Saints, Revelation 20:4. For He must put down all rule and authority and Power, then He will deliver up the Kingdom to the Father, then the end will come,

1 Corinthians 15:24-26, and New Jerusalem, the Father’s Kingdom, will come down from Heaven.

Let us take a look at Jesus’ (the Father’s) Kingdom, in John 14:2 Jesus tells us there are many mansions in His Father’s house. Now if there are many mansions in His (the Father’s) house, who will dwell in them? The Father’s house is the Holy City, Revelation 21:2, New Jerusalem which is in heaven, that will come down to us. This is the City that comes down after the second resurrection, it has twelve gated and at the twelve gates, twelve Angels and the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel, Revelation 21:12. The city is laid out as a square, the length of it; the breath of it; and the height of it is the same, 15,000 miles long, 15,000 miles wide, and 15,000 miles high. Can you even imagine buildings that tall?

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 2:9, “eye has not seen, nor ear hear what God (the Father) has prepared for them that love Him.

Most people do not know that it is the Father (Jesus) that will burn up the earth with fire, before He brings His kingdom down. This will happen after the Son (Jesus/Jehovah) has reigned on this earth for one thousand years with His Saints, then Satan will be released from his prison, and after the thousand years to go out and deceive the nations. To go up to Jerusalem and attack the camp of the Saints, and fire will come down out of heaven and devour them. 2 Peter 3:6-7, tells us that the world that was destroyed by water; will be destroyed by fire, then comes the Judgment Day for all who cam not up in the first resurrection.

So you see it is the Father who sent fire down from heaven, because Jesus is already on the Earth. After the earth is cleansed, then New Jerusalem will come down, and the nations which are saved shall walk in the light of it, Revelation21:24. These nations are not flesh and blood, but Spirits for flesh and blood can not enter the Father’s Kingdom.

The Son, (Jehovah) come to the Earth on the seventh day. The Father (Jesus) comes to the earth on the eighth day. Yes, I said the eighth day, which the Pastors, Priests, Shepherds do not teach people. Read Leviticus 23:36-39, it tell about the Eighth Day, which represents the starting of something new; the beginning of another week. You can go The Israel of God’s website, to get the lesson on the Eighth Day, which was observed on October 21, 2008.

All things were given by the Father to Jesus (Son/Jehovah), John 12:49-50. Read 1 John 5:7, 10, as we read, we see that the Father gave Jesus the record. Turn to Revelation 1:1, here we read the same thing, that the Father gave the Son the record.

Now I do not claim to know how at the beginning Jehovah and Jesus took counsel on who would become the Father and who would become the Son, because they were equal. If you turn to Psalms 55:14 it tells us that they took sweet counsel together and walked unto the house of God in company. Have you ever wondered who it was that is sitting on a throne in Revelation 5:1, holding a Book in His right hand? We know that the Lamb took the Book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne, Revelation 5:5-7, it is the Father, His name is Jesus. When we pray we pray to the Father in heaven asking Him to bring His Kingdom to Earth, Matthew 6:9-13.

In closing, I hope someone has gotten an understanding of the Godhead—Jehovah and Jesus—Jehovah became flesh and took on the name of Jesus—which is the Father’s name—the Father which NO MAN has seen or heard at any time, John 1:18.

If you have any questions, please ask!

THE CIRCUMCISION IS NO MORE --- NOT TRUE!

**Update 5/23/08
We welcome comments, however, I ask that you take the time to read the entire post. It seems that this is not the case as evidenced by the last three comments. My question to all is what does the LORD say? 2Timothy 2:15 People

I do not understand how people come to the conclusion that you don’t have to keep God’s commandments or laws, such as the Sabbath Day, Dietary law, Laws on keeping the Feast Days, and not having to read the Old Testament Scriptures. “All you need to know is what is in the New Testament”.


Isaiah wrote that to the Law (Old Testament) and the Testimony (New Testament), if you speak not according to this word there is no light (Truth) in them, Isaiah 8:20.


Now men have started teaching that the law of the circumcision is no more, even though it is an everlasting covenant, Genesis 17:9-14. But Isaiah 24:5 says the Earth is defiled because they transgressed the Laws, changed the ordinance, broke the everlasting covenant, which the Lord made with Abraham, 1 Chronicles 16:14-16.


Now people go and read only the New Testament and misinterpret God’s word by reading the letter that the Apostles wrote in Acts 15. They start out saying you have to be circumcised after the manner of Moses, they should have said after the manner of Abraham. They also said you can not be saved if you are not circumcised. They were right!


When Peter stood up and told them, (Acts 15:7-9), how he preached to the Gentiles in Acts 10, how when they heard the Word they received it with gladness. They were not circumcised, even as Abraham was not circumcised when the Lord promised to give him and his seed after him, the land of Canaan, Romans 4:10.


However, no one understands that after the Lord told Abraham how He would bless him and his seed that he received the sign of the circumcision. It was a sign of Faith; that is that he believed God, Romans 4:11.


We read that as soon as the Lord left off talking with Abraham, he circumcised every male in his house, his son as well as those bought with his money, the same day that God had spoken with him. Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised, because he believed all that the Lord had told him. And, the Lord said that the stranger shall be circumcised as well, if he is a part of Abraham’s household.


Now, the circumcision was to done in every generation for an everlasting covenant. How long is everlasting? That should be the end of the matter, because the Lord said, it is an everlasting covenant, Genesis 17:13.


Now we must continue on because some do not read the scriptures (Old Testament) because there is no light (Truth) in them. Let’s see how the Lord feels about the circumcision, because He says that the man that is not circumcised shall be cut off from his people (Whose people? The Lord’s people).


Let’s take a look at a man that the Lord loved very much, turn to Numbers 12:1-8, we read where Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses for marrying an Ethiopian woman and the Lord heard their conversation as they were chiding with Moses. The Lord called them to the Tabernacle of the Congregation, He told Aaron and Miriam, Hear my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make Myself known to him in a vision and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses, is not so, who is faithful in all Mine house. I speak to him apparently mouth to mouth, and not in dark speeches and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: Wherefore were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses. As you can see the Lord really loved Moses. Turn to Exodus 4:19-26, we read where the Lord is sending Moses to Egypt to tell Pharaoh to let His people go. As Moses was on his way, the Lord sought to kill Moses because he had not circumcised his son. But his wife circumcised their son, so the Lord let him go.


Now, what do you think the Lord will do to you if he sought to kill Moses, who was faithful in all His house, about not keeping the Law of the circumcision?


As we continue to travel through the Scriptures turn to Exodus 12, where we read that the Lord instituted the Passover, so that He may Passover our sins, in verses :43-49, the Lord said that no uncircumcised person shall eat the Passover. This is an ordinance spoken by the mouth of the Lord, one law for all. For Israel, and for the stranger that would sojourn with Israel. Now, after reading these verses about the circumcision you would think that would be enough—because this was spoken by the Lord and not some man. Did you notice that when the children of the Egyptians did not eat the Passover that there was not a house that there was not one dead. Why? For one thing, they could not partake of the Passover, because they were not circumcised.
What really goes over everyone’s head—that says the circumcision is no more—is that they forget that the Passover of eating the Lamb and putting the blood over the lintel and two side posts, in Exodus12:22-24, that the Destroying Angel would Passover the door and not destroy you.


Well, that lamb of the Passover was the forerunner to the true Lamb of the Passover, Jesus, who comes to take away the sins of the world, John 1:29. When Jesus was about to be sacrificed for our sins, He did away with eating the lamb on Passover, Matthew 26:26-28. He put forth the bread for His body and the Wine for His blood, (this is the New Testament), that is shed for many. Jesus became the Passover Lamb. He has become our Passover, 1 Corinthians 5:7. As Jesus was eating the Passover with His disciples they must have all been circumcised.


So, I ask, can you partake of the Passover of the bread and the wine if you are not circumcised, or be under the blood of Jesus Christ, who has become our Passover?


Let’s go back to the Scriptures (Old Testament), read in Joshua and we see how he had to circumcise all the males because they were not circumcised by their parents in the wilderness, Joshua 5:2-9. Why did Joshua have to circumcise the children? Because the Lord said so, Joshua 5:2, and the children of Israel kept the Passover on the fourteenth day in the plains of Jericho. They could not have kept the Passover if they were not circumcised.


As you can see all the people that came out of Egypt were circumcised, but they did not circumcise their children, because they were disobedient. The Lord had Joshua to circumcise all the males before they came into the land which the Lord would give them. Just as all the children that came out of Egypt were circumcised, all the children that came into the Promised Land were circumcised, because the Lord does not change (Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8).


He is the same yesterday, today, and for ever.


In Ezekiel 43:1-7 we read the scripture that is prophecy for the future. We see the Lord is on the earth, (because he came from the East, not from heaven), He has at this time been on the Earth, with His Saints and Angels for a couple of years—more on this later—He came to His house, (Who built the house that the Lord came to? More on this later.)


Now the Lord spoke to Ezekiel out of the house, Ezekiel 44:1-9, concerning all the ordinances of the House of the Lord. He spoke about bringing strangers that are not circumcised in the “heart and in the flesh” into His house to pollute it; that they had broken His covenant because of their abominations. He made it very clear in Ezekiel 44:9 that no uncircumcised stranger shall enter His house. Why does this still apply in the future? Because, the Lord does not change.


When did this happen? Let’s go to the past, yesterday. In Acts 15, we read about the Apostles and Elders were talking about the Word coming to the Gentiles and if they should be circumcised. Why they has this dispute is beyond me, because the Lord said that the stranger among you should be circumcised, also, in the flesh, (Exodus 12:48, Deuteronomy 9:14), if he is to become a member of the Lord’s house, Isaiah 56:6-7. The Lord’s house shall be a “house of prayer for all people”.


After they wrote this letter that is spoken of in Acts 15, Paul in the very next chapter—with the letter in hand—still went and circumcised Timothy. Why did he do this if the circumcision was not to be kept by the stranger, because Timothy’s father was Greek, Acts 16:1-4?


Now, if Paul who was the Apostle to the Gentiles, (Romans11:13), circumcised Timothy, who was a Gentile, would he not have also circumcised the rest of the Gentiles that believed in Jesus Christ?


Remember what Peter said in 2Peter 1:19-20, “We have a more sure word of prophecy and that no scripture is of any private interpretation”. When Peter was speaking of scripture, he was referring to the Old Testament. He also wrote that Paul’s writings were hard to be understood, and that they that are unlearned and untaught wrestled with the scriptures (Old Testament) as well as Paul’s writings to their own destruction, 2Peter 3:15-17.


In John 8:39, Jesus tells us that if you were Abraham’s seed you would do the works of Abraham. One of his works is that he circumcised himself, his sons, and all the males in his house.


I ask you, how are you to become a part of the covenant if you are not circumcised, for this is a sign of the covenant? Even our Lord Jesus Christ was circumcised (Luke 2:21) when He was eight days old.


Paul said that the circumcision profits much in every way, in keeping the oracles of God, Romans 3:1-2. Because in time past the Gentiles were strangers from the covenants of promise and aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and having no hope in the world, but through the blood of Jesus you are no more strangers but fellow citizens with the saints and a member of the household of God (Israel), when you come under His blood, (Ephesians 2:11-12, :18-20.


So, if you are not circumcised, become circumcised and keep His sayings. If you are circumcised, keep His sayings, 1Corinthians 7:19. Jesus tells us in Luke 4:4, that man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord, Deuteronomy 8:3.


So, Abraham is circumcised, Moses is circumcised, Paul is circumcised, all the apostles are circumcised, Timothy was circumcised by Paul after the dispute about the circumcision, even our Lord and Savior is circumcised. Are you? If not, then hedge your bet and become circumcised. Better to be safe than sorry.


In doing this you will be making a covenant with our Lord and the Father, that you will be obedient to all of His laws and commandments, Galatians 4:28-29.

HERE COMES EASTER, BUT WHAT ABOUT PASSOVER

People forget what the Lord said when He took bread and wine and blessed it, saying, that the bread is His body and the wine is His blood, which is shed for many this is the New Testament.


In other words He was telling us to remember that He died for our sins. So, why is it that people celebrate His resurrection, which He gave no commandment to do? Why do people do “good Friday”, the day that they say the Lord was crucified on? Yet there is no mention at all about the Passover? Is the Passover different from “good Friday”? Yes! When people observe “good Friday” they do nothing at all, but on the Passover, which the Lord commanded us to keep in Leviticus 23:4-5, says, “You shall have a holy convocation”.



Before the Lord came and died on the cross for our sin, we observed the Passover, in its season. Once a year on the 14th day of the first month of the Lord’s calendar, which begins this year on April 7, 2008, this being the month of Nisan.


Turn to Exodus 12:1-28, and you can read how the Passover was instituted by the Lord and how the Lord would pass over your sins when you ate the lamb and put the blood of the lamb over you lintel and two side post of your door, so that when He saw the blood He would pass over your house and not suffer the Destroyer to come into your house to smite you, Exodus 12:21-23.


As you read the 24th verse, you see that this is an ordinance that is to be observed forever. Now when the Lord finally came in the flesh He ended the killing of the lamb on the 14th day at evening because He was the Lamb that would take away our sins, John 1:29, 36.


This is the reason that He changed the ordinance from eating the Lamb on the Passover to eating the bread, which represented His body and the wine which represented His blood, Luke 22:19-21.


When Jesus died on the cross the veil in the Temple was ripped in two, Matthew 27:50-51, that ended the animal sacrifices (only), however, that was not understood immediately. Jesus has taken the place of the lamb that was sacrificed on Passover; He was the final sacrifice, 1 Corinthians 5:7. The Lamb of God was sacrificed for us; this is why we observe the Passover every year in its season.


In most churches, they do communion every month, some more often, instead of once a year as the Lord commanded in 1Corinthians 11:23-26. Jesus said, “As often as you do this, do it in remembrance of Me”, He did not say “do it often”.


So my question is, “What do you do on “good Friday”, the day they say the Lord died? And, whose doctrine is this that Jesus rose on Easter Sunday morning?


Churches all across the world will be holding services on Sunday to celebrate His resurrection. What I want to know is where in the Bible is it written that we are to observe His resurrection on Easter Sunday?


Now, I know that the word Easter appears one (1) time in the Bible, in Acts 12:4, but, this word was used in place of Passover. Also, how did they come up with Jesus being crucified on Friday?


Let us take a look at Mark 15:39-42, here we read that Jesus died, verse :42, the day before the Sabbath. So they incorrectly came up with the non-fact that He must have died on Friday, since Saturday is the Sabbath day, seventh day of the week. What they did not understand is that Sabbath was a High Day, John 19:31. In other words it was a Sabbath Feast day.


Turn to, Leviticus 23:1-2, 4-8, we read about the Lord’s Feasts. As we read the scriptures we see that the Passover was on the 14th day, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the 15th day and we are commanded to have a holy convocation and also on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The first day and the seventh day of the Feast are Sabbath days. However the world knows nothing of the Lord’s Sabbath Days, which are written of in Leviticus 23rd chapter.


If Jesus died on Friday and rose Sunday morning, this is evidently that “other” Jesus written about in 1Corinthians 11:4, because the Lord, Himself, said that He would be in the grave for three (3) days and three (3) nights, Matthew 12:38-40. This was the sign that He gave to an adulterous generation. However the world could not even get this sign right. How do you get three days and three nights from Friday evening to Sunday morning?


So, I ask you, what are you worshipping, or rather, who are you worshipping on “good Friday” and Easter Sunday morning? Friday was not the Passover, the Lord died on the Passover, and Sunday morning He had already risen. Read Matthew 20:1-2, it says Mary came to the sepulcher while it was YET dark, so I ask, “Whose servant are you?” Good Friday is pagan, Jesus did not die on Friday, Easter Sunday morning is pagan, Jesus was already gone!


Now, I ask you, “What day of the week did Jesus die for our sins, and what day did He rise from the grave?” For Jesus has become our Passover, 1Corinthians 5:7 .


We read in Exodus 12:24, that the Passover is an ordinance that we are to keep for ever, in its season, Exodus 13:10, not every first Sunday, or first of the month, but to observe it in its season year to year.


This year the Passover begins on April 19th at sundown to April 20th at sundown.

So if you want to come under the Blood of Jesus Christ, learn how to keep His Passover. You can watch the Passover service on the internet @
