Lesson date: 03/21/5859AA

Let me give you some personal information so you can understand why I am passionate about the subject matter. Remember from the start, military intelligence is an oxymoron so, when I discuss my background in military intelligence don’t be too impressed. Upon arriving at NSAHQ in Ft. Meade, Md., in April, 1979 I was assigned to operate the world’s most powerful supercomputer, built by none other than Peter Cray, the Cray 1+. I assigned tasking for all Arabic/Aramaic language communications intercept as directed by NSA.

In November 1979 I was assigned to the Tehran Hostage Crisis Team and worked for NSA and the U.S. State Department jointly. I remained detailed to the Hostage Crisis Flyaway Team until President Carter gave me permission to separate from the military October 1980. He had originally threatened to “involuntarily extend” my time in the Air Force until the hostages were released. My position was directly under the direction and oversight of the National Security Advisor Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzeziński, a real piece of work and all American boy. (Yes, I am being facetious.)

In 1989 I was hired by a contractor for the Department of Energy. Sounds very benign and even quite useful and necessary. It isn’t. Most people do not know this but, it is a matter of record, the Department of Energy (DOE) is the only agency, pre-9/11, that could spy on anyone without a warrant. It goes back to the original charter of the Atomic Energy Commission that was tasked with building the atomic bomb during WWII.

I have had various jobs and positions at the Superconducting Super Collider but near the end of the project I was tasked with writing the requirements of a Material Tracking System. Sounds very benign but, it wasn’t in my view. We had to develop a software package that tracked all materials to the people that ordered them and to the ultimate end user and destination and, everyone who touched them in between the purchase order and end user. We incorporated “hooks” to utilize Universal Product Codes, now called GS1 data, in this tracking process. This software was written in the Oracle Financial Source Code. It was a government project so no one person could file a patent for something developed by public funds (supposedly).

At that time, 1992, there were 153 UPC codes in public use. Oracle now had a one of a kind financial software, with no public U.S. restrictions and it began to market this software to the Fortune 500 companies, like ours EG&G, being one of them.

Please look at the label below. You can see that it is from a Campbell’s Soup can and focus on the center bottom part of the image. Please look at the barcode and then focus on double vertical lines on each side of the barcode number’s image. These two sets of double lines are 6’s in the UPC code. Now look very carefully just between the 5100 and the 05897 and you will see two more vertical lines and this also represents a 6. The reason for these 3 sixes was to establish an outside -inside- outside parameter identifier code to tell the computer that you had a valid barcode. So, each barcode had 80 different ways of representing 6-6-6 on a barcode of every object, every location and every person in world. When I realized what I had done I repented and repented and then declared war on the very establishment that had educated and trained me. Why? Because the government identifies you with your Social Security Number and it is barcoded, too.

I met Von in 1994, while I was working for the Texas National Laboratory Commission (TNRLC) and she was aware of the battle I was going through with the U.S. Government so, it was no secret to her. After 3 years of court filings and writs and hundreds of communications from the Department of Health and Human Services, who hold your birth certificate as collateral against the national debt, and the Internal Revenue Service, I finally won a summary judgment against the IRS and the Department of Justice. This was December 23, 1998, coincidentally Von’s birthday and just 5 months after the death of my youngest son. I was ecstatic for the first time in months. I won and I was now free from the U.S. Government for the rest of my life. I was meditating on what had happened and in prayer I heard, as clear as anything I have ever heard, “Why did you waste 3 years of your life doing something I did not tell you to do?” I had heard this voice before and I knew who it was and that I had screwed up.

Why do I tell you this? I want you to understand that YHVH has a plan and it does not depend on men’s plans. He can overcome any and all other plans, and will overcome them. The idea of 6-6-6 is man’s plans, not his. Also, when I do not handle technology well, it is because I do not want to ignorantly accept it into my life ever again. I struggle with this everyday, like a gall stone or kidney stone, what I have done has caused me great personal pain. I know YHVH has a plan but I do not want to further HaSatan’s plans either so, I proceed like tip toeing through a minefield, I wait for the explosion at each step.

Please, as you read this study, if you read it, please understand why I have written it. Please, above all, stop putting this into the 20^th or the 21^st Century parlance or context. This is and always will be First and Second Century A.D. concept. Satan will use the rest, the UPC, the MTS and 666 to his advantage in deceiving others. ‘Nuff said.

This is not a study of the Book of Revelation per se, but it is rooted in the Book of Revelation (Hitgalut/Hazon) because I have had two people ask if I thought that the COVID-19 bio-weapon shot was the Mark of the Beast mentioned in Revelation Chapters 13, 14, 15, 16, 19 & 20. My answer, which is my opinion and you know that I always have one, is definitely not. I believe that the COVID-19 bio-weapon shot is a result of the Beast system but it is definitely not the Mark. The purpose of the shot is to kill people not to enslave them. It is real simple: Rev 13:16 And he causes all, both small and great, and rich and poor, and free and slave, to be given a mark upon their right hand or upon their foreheads,

I know of no one who received the COVID-19 shot on their forehead or their right hand. Usually they were given the shot in their left or right arm, at or near the shoulder. Remember, Rule Number One when reading Revelation: It must make sense to First and Second Century followers of the Messiah and it did. It warned them of the power of Rome. Then and only then will it make sense to 21^st Century followers of the Living Messiah. Alright, what did it mean to First and Second Century followers of the Risen Messiah? One thing and let’s look at it in Scripture first and then talk about it later:

Exo_13:9 “And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, that the Torah of יהוה is to be in your mouth, for with a strong hand יהוה has brought you out of Mitsrayim.

Exo_13:16 “And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim.”

Deu_6:8 and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

Deu_11:18 And you shall lay up these Words of Mine in your heart and in your being, and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

H226 – אוֹת – ‘ôth – oth – Probably from H225 (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.: – mark, miracle, (en-) sign, token.

Does anyone see anything about this Hebrew words that looks important? This is the most common word for sign or token used in the Hebrew Scripture when referring to a covenant.

A         Alef     Head of a bull, Strong leader, Elohim(Alef is the first letter of Elohim)
f         Vav      Nail, Tent peg, Anchored, Secured, Bound
t         Tav      Two crossed sticks, sign of the covenant, A mark, A signature

The Strong Leader (Elohim) is Bound by the Sign of the Covenant(Cross)

Interestingly, there is another Hebrew word that has a similar meaning. H8420 – תָּו – tâv– tawv – From H8427; a mark; by implication a signature: – desire, mark.

T         Tav      Two crossed sticks, sign of the covenant, A mark, A signature
f         Vav      Nail, Tent peg, Anchored, Secured, Bound

The Sign of the Covenant secures (us).

It stands to reason that if YHVH has a mark then HaSatan will have a mark as well. The mark of YHVH is His Torah. Re-read Exo. 13:9 and see that Torah is to be in our mouth. What did the greatest prophet in the Tanakh say: Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man who shall not walk in the counsel of the wrong, And shall not stand in the path of sinners, And shall not sit in the seat of scoffers,

Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the Torah of יהוה, And he meditates in His Torah day and night.

And do not forget about Job: Job 22:22 Please accept the Torah from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart.

Now, the next question I am going to hear is “what is a frontlet?” That is a fair question and let’s talk about which hand is being spoken of and the definition of the frontlet. In Semitic culture you do not wave with your left hand, you do not touch someone with your left hand and you do not offer anyone anything with you left hand. While we were going through language school it was politely expressed as BTDOTP which stands for Before The Days of Toilet Paper, the left hand was used. Therefore, the hand that receives the blessing is the right hand, always. The curse is upon the left hand.

Now, the frontlet. You will see modern conservative Jews strap a small box containing a tiny Torah scroll around their head and hand to pray. Unfortunately, it also shows ignorance about the necessity for wearing a frontlet all day long. The modern frontlet is known as the Egal and it holds the Shemagh on the head of the wearer so the wind doesn’t blow it off the wearer’s head as seen below. The one pictured below is part of a Saudi Arabian “formal” Kufiyah or Ghutrah. That part that looks like two ropes is the egal and these two would be what would have been called the frontlet in the days of Abraham and Mosheh. It has evolved into a sweat band in modern hats and caps. There is no mystery here. In the early days of history there would have been an emblem attached to the egal that would have given a tribal identity or the color or pattern of the shemagh would have been a particular color or weave to show the skills of the women of the tribe. We think of it today as a family crest.

In the First and Second Century the reader of Revelation would have known that if you place anything except the Word of Elohim, Torah, on your hand (equates to actions, see examples below) and/or forehead (equates to wisdom) you are rejecting the Commands of Elohim, PERIOD!!! There  is absolutely no secret here.

As far as 6, it is the Mark of the evils of Satan, and three 6’s are the ultimate expression of evil. But originally there was no 6’s in Rev. 13:18. What was originally there were three Greek letters in an all-Hebrew book, which stood out like a sore thumb and so an early translator used gematria to arrive at 666 rather than using the letters:    

χ  ξ  ϛ

This is not just my opinion but also the teaching of an eminent Bible scholar E.W. Bullinger:

This letter (called Stigma) is used for the number 6. Why this letter and number should be thus associated we cannot tell, except that both are intimately connected with the ancient Egyptian “mysteries.” The three letters SSS (in Greek ∑∑∑) were the symbol of Isis, which is thus connected with 666. Indeed the expression of this number, Χ-ξ-ς, consists of the initial and final letters of the word Xριστoς, (Christos), Christ viz., X and ς , with the symbol of the serpent between them, X – ξ – ς. ((Please note that the emphasis is mine but I felt it was that important.))

((This can be found on page 49 in E.W. Bullinger’s book Number in Scripture))

Notice the large medallion in the center of his forehead in the picture above.

Here are examples of blessings or curses brought about by the work of our hands, mentioned above, and this is just Debarim (Deuteronomy):

Deu_4:28 “And there you shall serve mighty ones, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

Deu_12:18 “But eat them before יהוה your Elohim, in the place which יהוה your Elohim chooses, you and your son and your daughter, and your male servant and your female servant, and the Lěwite who is within your gates. And you shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim in all that you put your hands to.

Deu_16:15 “For seven days you shall celebrate to יהוה your Elohim in the place which יהוה chooses, because יהוה your Elohim does bless you in all your increase and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be only rejoicing!

Deu_27:15 Cursed is the man who makes a carved or moulded image, an abomination to יהוה, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ And all the people shall answer and say, ‘Aměn!’

Deu_31:29 “For I know that after my death you shall do very corruptly and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you. And evil shall come to you in the latter days, because you do what is evil in the eyes of יהוה, to provoke Him through the work of your hands.”

Deu_33:11 “O יהוה, bless his strength, and accept the work of his hands. Smite the loins of those who rise against him, and of those who hate him, that they rise no more.”

We are blessed for keeping YHVH’s Torah and we are cursed for not keeping it and worshiping the work of our hands, it is that simple. Okay, what about the forehead, where is there anything that talks about blessings or curses related to the forehead? You ready? Here we go: Eze 9:1 And He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, “Let the punishers of the city draw near, each with his weapon of destruction in his hand.”

Eze 9:2 And look, six men ((The number equal to the evil of HaSatan in the land)) came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-axe in his hand. And one man in their midst was clothed with linen* and had a writer’s ink-horn at his side. And they came in and stood beside the bronze slaughter-place.

Eze 9:3 And the esteem of the Elohim of Yisra’ěl went up from the keruḇ, where it had been, to the threshold of the House. And He called to the man clothed with linen*, ((*The mark of a High Priest)) who had the writer’s ink-horn at his side,

Eze 9:4 and יהוה said to him, “Pass on into the midst of the city, into the midst of Yerushalayim, and you shall put a mark (H8420) on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.” <<<((Sigh and cry – those who repent for the evil done in it.))

Eze 9:5 And to the others He said in my hearing, “Pass on into the city after him and strike, do not let your eye pardon nor spare.

Eze 9:6 “Kill to destruction old, young men, maidens and children and women, but do not come near anyone upon whom is the mark,(H8420) and begin at My set-apart place.” So they began with the elders who were in front of the House.

Eze 9:7 And He said to them, “Defile the House, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out and struck in the city.

Eze 9:8 And as they were striking them it came to be that I alone was left. And I fell on my face and cried out, and said, “Ah, Master יהוה! Are You destroying all the remnant of Yisra’ěl in pouring out Your wrath on Yerushalayim?”

Eze 9:9 And He said to me, “The crookedness of the house of Yisra’ěl and Yehuḏah is exceedingly great, and the land is filled with bloodshed, and the city filled with that which is warped. For they say, ‘יהוה has forsaken the land, and יהוה is not seeing!’

Eze 9:10 “But as for Me, My eye shall not pardon, nor would I spare, I shall recompense their deeds on their own head.”

Eze 9:11 And see, the man clothed with linen, who had the ink-horn at his side, reported back and said, “I have done as You commanded me.”<<<In Aramaic this man is called Memrah – The Word.

This is the judgment for those that do not keep YHVH’s Commands and right-rulings.

Don’t forget these guys either: Rev 7:3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees until we have sealed the servants of our Elohim upon their foreheads.”

Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of all the tribes of the children of Yisra’ěl:

And you do not want to be a part of this group: Rev 9:4 And it was said to them that they shall not harm the grass of the earth, or any green matter, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of Elohim upon their foreheads.

Rev 14:1 And I looked and saw a Lamb standing on Mount Tsiyon, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s Name written upon their foreheads.

Rev 22:4 And they shall see His face, and His Name shall be upon their foreheads.

And, let’s never forget this one: Num 6:27 “Thus they shall put My Name on the children of Yisra’ěl, and I Myself shall bless them.”

Even in the Book of Revelation (also called Hazon or more properly Hitgalut) we are told to keep the commands of Elohim and, where do we find those? Torah:

Rev_12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah.

Rev_14:12 Here is the endurance of the set-apart ones, here are those guarding the commands of Elohim and the belief of יהושע.

Rev_22:14 “Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city.

In order to guard, “shamar” in Hebrew, the Commands of Elohim you have to know them and do them. This is why Ya’aqob (Translated as James to flatter a Sodomite King, King James) is always talking about works: Jas_1:22 And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

If you only hear and don’t “do” you are deceiving yourself. But, what happens when you will not hear His Word? Pro_28:9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, Even his prayer is an abomination.

H8085 – שָׁמַע – shâma‛ – shaw-mah’ A primitive root; to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.;

1Jn_5:2 By this we know that we love the children of Elohim, when we love Elohim and guard His commands.

1Jn_5:3 For this is the love for Elohim, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy,

The next question, I am just guessing is, who or what is the Beast? Where do we find this beast and what will this beast do? All good valid questions so, let’s look: Rev 13:1 And I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads names of blasphemy.

Rev 13:2 And the beast I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.

There is a great deal of information in this image alone. First, Yohannon/John  is standing on the sand of the sea, naturally, right? Who or what does the sand of the sea represent? Gen_22:17 that I shall certainly bless you, and I shall certainly increase your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore, and let your seed possess the gate of their enemies.

Gen_32:12 “For You said, ‘I shall certainly do good to you, and shall make your seed as the sand of the sea, which are too numerous to count.’ ”

We see John standing on the sand of the sea, Children of Yisra’el and then, the beast comes up out of the  sea, sea = A mass of People/Gentiles/Nations/Heathens/Pagans/Animals (H1471) and the beast comes up out of this mass of people and stands on the seashore = dominates the Children of Yisra’el

Has this beast been seen anywhere in Scripture before it was written in Revelation? Of course, we can also find it in Daniel: Dan 7:19 “Then I desired for certainty concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, very fearsome, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, crushed, and trampled down the rest with its feet,

Dan 7:20 and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and of the other horn that came up, before which three fell – this horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke great words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.

This is s very similar sounding beast with ten horns and seven heads, oops, where are those pesky heads? Look closer because they are there: Dan 7:4 “The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I was looking until its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and it was given a man’s heart.<<<This is none other than Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon. This is the first head.

Dan 7:5 “And see, another beast, a second, like a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to it, ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’

<<<This is none other than the Medio-Persian Empire ruled by Cyrus the Great and Darius the Mede. These are the Second and Third heads.

Dan 7:6 “After this I looked and saw another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and rule was given to it.<<<This is the Greek Empire founded by Alexander the Great but ruled by his 4 generals: Ptolemy, Antigonus, Cassander, and Seleucus.

1
+2
+4

= 7 Heads

At the time of John’s writing Revelation these kingdoms had been absorbed by Rome and this is an important concept to remember. This means that Rome is the culmination of all the evil empires expressed in Scripture:

1. Babylon (Nimrod) ((Confusion of languages))
2. Egypt (Lost power as a result of the 10 plagues)
3. Assyria (Lost power as a result of its 185,000 man army destroyed in one night)
4. Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar) (Destroyed by the union of Cyrus the Great and Darius the Mede)
5. Medes/Persians (Destroyed by Alexander)
6. Greece (Split into 4 kingdoms after Alexander died)
7. Rome (Dead?)

Please go back to Revelation and read: Rev_17:9 “Here is the mind having wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.<<What does a woman represent in Scripture?

Rev_17:10 “And there are seven sovereigns: five have fallen, and one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he has to remain a little while.

Please note that 5 have fallen but, we could argue that all seven have fallen. Why else would Edward Gibbon write his fantastic history “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” written in 1776, if indeed it had not fallen? What about Greece? It was taken over, piece by piece, by the Roman Army. But is it possible that Rome, as a ruling empire may yet still exist? Is the Grecian Empire completely destroyed? I find these important questions that YOU need to answer.

What else do we know about this Beast and exactly what will it do that will cause everyone to receive a mark? Why will YHVH hate this kingdom so much? Dan 7:25 and it speaks words* against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart ones of the Most High, and it intends to change appointed times and law ((Author’s Note: This word is an Aramaic word DATH)), and they are given into its hand for a time and times and half a time. <<DATH literally means Law of Eloah, Aramaic word for Elohim..

Words = H4406 – מִלָּה – millâh – mil-law’ – word, commandment, command.

Just looking at this word for word it appears the Beast is going to make commands or commandments contrary/against YHVH’s Torah.

What else is happening? It wears out or afflicts the set-apart ones, the Saints in the KJV: Dan 7:21 “I was looking, and this horn was fighting against the set-apart ones, and was prevailing against them, Fighting and prevailing = winning. It was killing the saints. Has this ever happened?

It intends to change appointed times! Which appointed times? Leviticus 23 appointed times. Has that ever happened?

It also changes the law. Which law? YHVH’s Law, His Torah. Has that ever happened? If any of these blasphemies has ever happened shouldn’t we be looking back in history to see who changed them and when?

Will you allow me to reasonably infer? Looking at what this Beast intends to do, make its own commands contrary to YHVH’s, afflicting and/or killing the set apart ones(saints), change YHVH’s appointed times, and law, could I not reasonably infer that whoever did this would be the Beast? And then knowing that, could I not reasonably infer that this IS the Mark of the Beast?

Let’s look in Leviticus 23 to see which appointed times are being spoken of and if they have been changed: Lev 23:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

Lev 23:2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ěl, and say to them, ‘The appointed times of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times, are these:

Lev 23:3 ‘Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a set-apart gathering. You do no work, it is a Sabbath to יהוה in all your dwellings.

The World Christian Encyclopedia’s method seems to be shared by other institutions. For example, the Center for Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, which is evangelical Protestant, estimates that there are currently 47,000 denominations. This survey relies upon the same methodology as the World Christian Encyclopedia, which it apparently deems credible. And, if you don’t consider Gordon-Conwell very authoritative, keep in mind that they are utilized as a primary source by the Pew Research Center, which pretty much is the gold standard for social science research in the United States.

Wow, forty-seven thousand Protestant denominations, that is huge. What is very interesting is that of the 47,000 Protestant denominations only a handful keep the Sabbath. Why?

ANGLICAN / EPISCOPAL

Isaac Williams, Plain Sermons on the Catechism, vol. 1, pp. 334, 336:

“And where are we told in the Scriptures that we are to keep the first day at all? We are commanded to keep the seventh; but we are nowhere commanded to keep the first day . . . The reason we keep the first day of the week holy instead of the seventh is for the same reason that we observe many other things, not because the Bible, but because the church has enjoined it.”

1. Enright, C.S.S.R., in a lecture at Hartford, Kansas, Feb. 18, 1884:

“I have repeatedly offered $1000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the Holy Catholic Church alone. The Bible says, ‘Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy’. The Catholic Church says: ‘NO. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day, and command you to keep holy the first day of the week’. And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in a reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church.”

Canon Eyton, The Ten Commandments, pp. 52, 63, 65:

“There is no word, no hint, in the New Testament about abstaining from work on Sunday . . . Into the rest of Sunday no divine law enters . . . The observance of Ash Wednesday or Lent stands exactly on the same footing as the observance of Sunday.”

Bishop Seymour, Why We Keep Sunday:

“We have made the change from the seventh day to the first day, from Saturday to Sunday, on the authority of the one holy Catholic Church.”

Dr. Edward T. Hiscox, a paper read before the New York ministers’ conference, Nov. 13, 1893, reported in New York Examiner, Nov. 16, 1893:

“There was and is a commandment to keep holy the Sabbath day, but that Sabbath day was not Sunday. It will be said, however, and with some show of triumph, that the Sabbath was transferred from the seventh to the first day of the week.

Where can the record of such a transaction be found? Not in the New Testament—absolutely not. To me it seems unaccountable that Jesus, during three years’ intercourse with His disciples, often conversing with them upon the Sabbath question . . . Never alluded to any transference of the day; also, that during forty days of His resurrection life, no such thing was intimated. Of course, I quite well know that Sunday did come into use in early Christian history. . . But what a pity it comes branded with the mark of Paganism, and christened with the name of the sun god, adopted and sanctioned by the papal apostasy, and bequeathed as a sacred legacy to Protestantism!”

William Owen Carver, The Lord’s Day In Our Day:

“There was never any formal or authoritative change from the Jewish seventh-day Sabbath to the Christian first-day observance.”

Dr. R.W. Dale, The Ten Commandments (New York: Eaton & Mains), p. 127-129:

“It is quite clear that however rigidly or devotedly we may spend Sunday, we are not keeping the Sabbath . . . The Sabbath was founded on a specific Divine command. We can plead no such command for the obligation to observe Sunday . . . There is not a single sentence in the New Testament to suggest that we incur any penalty by violating the supposed sanctity of Sunday.”

Timothy Dwight, Theology; Explained and Defended (1823), Ser. 107, vol. 3, p. 258:

The Christian Sabbath [Sunday] is not in the Scriptures, and was not by the primitive Church called the Sabbath.”

DISCIPLES OF CHRIST

Alexander Campbell, The Christian Baptist, Feb. 2, 1824, vol. 1, no. 7, p. 164:

“’But’, say some, ‘it was changed from the seventh to the first day’.

Where? When? And by whom? No man can tell.

NO; it never was changed, nor could it be, unless creation was to be gone through again; for the reason assigned must be changed before the observance, or respect to the reason, can be changed! It is all old wives’ fables to talk of the change of the Sabbath from the seventh to the first day.

If it be changed, it was that august personage changed it who changes times and laws EX OFFICIO– I think his name is DOCTOR ANTICHRIST.”  <<<Author’s Note: Emphasis mine

First Day Observance, pp. 17, 19:

“The first day of the week is commonly called the Sabbath. This is a mistake.

The Sabbath of the Bible was the day just proceeding the first day of the week.

The first day of the week is never called the Sabbath anywhere in the entire Scriptures. It is also an error to talk about the change of the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.

There is not in any place in the Bible any intimation of such a change.”

LUTHERAN

The Sunday Problem, a study book of the United Lutheran Church (1923), p. 36:

“We have seen how gradually the impression of the Jewish Sabbath faded from the mind of the Christian Church, and how completely the newer thought underlying the observance of the first day took possession of the church.

We have seen that the Christians of the first three centuries never confused one with the other, but for a time celebrated both.”

Augsburg Confession of Faith., art. 28; written by Melanchthon, approved by Martin Luther, 1530; as published in The Book of Concord of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Henry Jacobs, ed. (1911), p. 63:

“They [Roman Catholics] refer to the Sabbath Day, as having been changed into the Lord’s Day, contrary to the Decalogue, as it seems. Neither is there any example whereof they make more than concerning the changing of the Sabbath Day. Great, say they, is the power of the Church, since it has dispensed with one of the Ten Commandments!”

Dr. Augustus Neander, The History of the Christian Religion and Church, Henry John Rose, tr. (1843), p. 186:((Author’s Note: Please note the use of the word “Festival” here.))

“The festival of Sunday, like all other festivals, was always only a human ordinance, and it was far from the intentions of the apostles to establish a Divine Command in this respect, far from them, and from the early apostolic church, to transfer the laws of the Sabbath to Sunday.”

John Theodore Mueller, Sabbath or Sunday:

“But they err in teaching that Sunday has taken the place of the Old Testament Sabbath and therefore must be kept as the seventh day had to be kept by the children of Israel . . . These churches err in their teaching, for Scripture has in no way ordained the first day of the week in place of the Sabbath. There is simply no law in the New Testament to that effect.”

METHODIST

John Wesley, The Works of the Rev. John Wesley, A.M., John Emory, ed. (New York: Eaton & Mains), Sermon 25, vol. 1, p. 221:

“But, the Moral Law contained in the Ten Commandments, and enforced by the prophets, he [Christ] did not take away. It was not the design of His coming to revoke any part of this. This is a law which never can be broken . . . Every part of this law must remain in force upon all mankind, and in all ages; as not depending either on time or place, or any other circumstances liable to change, but on the nature of God and the nature of man, and their unchangeable relation to each other.”

DWIGHT L. MOODY D.L. Moody, Weighed and Wanting, pp. 7, 48:

“The Sabbath was binding in Eden, and it has been in force ever since. This fourth commandment begins with the word ‘remember’, showing that the Sabbath already existed when God wrote the law on the tables of stone at Sinai. How can men claim that this one commandment has been done away with when they will admit that the other nine are still binding?”

PRESBYTERIAN

T.C. Blake, D.D., Theology Condensed, pp. 474:

“The Sabbath is a part of the Decalogue-the Ten Commandments. This alone forever settles the question as to the perpetuity of the institution. Until, therefore, it can be shown that the whole Moral Law has been repealed, the Sabbath will stand . . . The teaching of Christ confirms the perpetuity of the Sabbath.”

Ok, I am sure that if you had never read or heard of any of these clear confessions before, then you may be a little stunned to say the least… and you should be!

So why then is there still such a fight and struggle to simply follow the Truth of Scripture?

The enemy wants control and so through the paganised programme of Christianity, which has syncretised Truth with sun-worship, has in fact drawn many to take on the ‘mark of the beast’.

The papacy has declared that Sun-day observance is her ‘mark’ of Authority.

Now, for many people reading this, the common error that is often too quickly jumped too, is in their declaring that they are not Catholic, so it does not apply to them.

The plain truth is that the Catholic Church is the mother of Christianity – she is the whore who has made the nations drunk with here maddening adulteries and has brought forth many children – consisting of the 1000’s of denominations that exist within Christianity today and the sign or mark of the authority and worship of the whore and the Beast is none other than sun-day observance.

One only has to look around the Vatican website at the Catechisms to see how man has deliberately changed the Word of Elohim to suite his own agenda and have power and control over man – and the sign of this authority has been established by the institution of Sun-day observance that according to traditions of man now instituted as law has replaced the Sabbath!

Here is a quote from the Catholic Catechisms, # 2190:

2190 The sabbath, which represented the completion of the first creation, has been replaced by Sunday which recalls the new creation inaugurated by the Resurrection of Christ.

WHERE DOES IT SAY THIS IN SCRIPTURE??? NOWHERE – YOU WILL NOT FIND THIS ANYWHERE IN THE WORD OF ELOHIM – WHY? BECAUSE HIS SABBATH HAS NEVER CHANGED AND IT NEVER WILL!

Some more quotes taken from the Vatican website, in their catechisms regarding the Sabbath and what they call the Lord’s Day:

(Copied and pasted directly from the website: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P7O.HTM)

106 St. Justin, I Apol. 67: PG 6, 429 and 432.

We all gather on the day of the sun, for it is the first day [after the Jewish sabbath, but also the first day] when God, separating matter from darkness, made the world; and on this same day Jesus Christ our Savior rose from the dead.

108 St. Ignatius of Antioch, Ad Magn. 9, 1: SCh 10, 88.

Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath, but the Lord’s Day, in which our life is blessed by him and by his death.

109 St. Thomas Aquinas, STh II-II 122, 4.

2176 The celebration of Sunday observes the moral commandment inscribed by nature in the human heart to render to God an outward, visible, public, and regular worship “as a sign of his universal ((Author’s Note: Catholic)) beneficence to all.”

“A doctrinal Catechism” by Stephen Keenan, pg. 174 tells us that the Universal(Roman) Church authorities was asked, “Have you any other way of proving that the church (RC) has power to institute festivals ((Author’s note: Once again notice the use of the word Festivals.)) of precept? They responded with, “Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her- she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no scriptural authority.”

Basically the argument is this, if the Roman Catholic Church did not have the authority to change the Sabbath, then why did all the Protestants churches follow it?

Now, the big question is, “What is the Day of the YHVH (Lord) mentioned in Rev. 1:10?” Is it actually YHVH changing His Sabbath to Sunday rather than Saturday? NO! Look at the following examples of the Day of YHVH(Lord):

Isa 13:6 Howl, for the day of יהוה is near! It comes as a destruction from the Almighty.

Isa 13:9 See, the day of יהוה is coming, fierce, with wrath and heat of displeasure, to lay the earth waste, and destroy its sinners from it.

Eze 13:5 “You have not gone up into the breaches, nor do you build a wall for the house of Yisra’ěl to stand in battle on the day of יהוה.

Eze 13:6 “Their visions are false and their divinations a lie, saying, ‘Thus declares יהוה,’ when יהוה has not sent them, yet they expected the word to be confirmed!

Joe 1:15 Alas for the day! For the day of יהוה is near, and it comes as destruction from the Almighty.

Joe 2:1 Blow a shophar in Tsiyon, and sound an alarm in My set-apart mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the earth tremble, for the day of יהוה is coming, for it is near:

Joe 2:2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains – a people many and strong, the like of whom has never been, nor shall there ever be again after them, to the years of many generations.

Joe 2:11 And יהוה shall give forth His voice before His army, for His camp is very great, for mighty is the doer of His word. For the day of יהוה is great and very awesome, and who does bear it?

Joe 2:30 “And I shall give signs in the heavens and upon the earth: blood and fire and columns of smoke,

Joe 2:31 the sun is turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה.

Joe 3:14 Crowds, crowds in the valley of decision! For the day of יהוה is near in the valley of decision.

Joe 3:15 Sun and moon shall become dark, and stars shall withdraw their brightness.

Amo 5:16 Therefore יהוה Elohim of hosts, יהוה, said this, “There is wailing in all open squares, and in all the streets they say, ‘Alas! Alas!’ and shall call the farmer to mourning, and skilled lamenters to wailing.

Amo 5:17 “And in all vineyards there is wailing, for I pass through your midst,” said יהוה.

Amo 5:18 Woe to you who are longing for the day of יהוה! What does the day of יהוה mean to you? It is darkness, and not light,

Amo 5:19 as when a man flees from a lion, and a bear shall meet him; or entered his house, rested his hand on the wall, and a serpent shall bite him.

Amo 5:20 Is not the day of יהוה darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

Oba 1:15 “For the day of יהוה is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you, your reward shall come back on your own head.

Zep 1:14 Near is the great day of יהוה, near and hurrying greatly, the noise of the day of יהוה. Let the mighty man then bitterly cry out!

Zep 1:15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and trouble, a day of waste and ruin, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

Mal 4:5 “See, I am sending you Ěliyah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה.

Mal 4:6 “And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with utter destruction.”

Act 2:20 ‘The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and splendid day of יהוה.

Act 2:21 ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.’

1Th 5:2 For you yourselves know very well that the day of יהוה comes as a thief in the night.

1Th 5:3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then suddenly destruction comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman, and they shall not escape.

1Th 5:4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

2Th 2:1 As to the coming of our Master יהושע Messiah and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, brothers,

2Th 2:2 not to become easily unsettled in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as if the day of יהוה has come.

2Th 2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way, because the falling away is to come first, and the man of lawlessness is to be revealed, the son of destruction,

2Pe 3:10 But the day of יהוה shall come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with intense heat, and the earth and the works that are in it shall be burned up.

2Pe 3:11 Seeing all these are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be in set-apart behaviour and reverence,

2Pe 3:12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of Elohim, through which the heavens shall be destroyed, being set on fire, and the elements melt with intense heat!

Therefore, I can reasonably conclude that the Day of YHVH (Lord) is a day of darkness and destruction that the world will experience some time in the future. So, based on this theme, what is the Book of Hitgalut (Hazon/Revelation) all about?  Darkness , death and destruction so this has nothing to do with with a “New Sabbath” does it?

We have only looked at the one command but we could write many pages more for the First Command as well and it would be the same for each of these commandments. Please put the Scripture into the proper context and that is, that it had to make sense to the person who wrote it and the person who read it in the day that it was written. Can it have meaning for us today? Absolutely, it should but, it must be kept in the proper context.
