Always remember: Embellished made-up
stories are still lies!
Sad
to say, I know most of the world is getting ready to do the pagan Halloween, Thanksgiving, Chanukah and then Christmas.
Stores can’t be setup fast enough for these days to make money. Another
year goes by and a new generation of the youth is polluted.
You are to teach your children:
Deut.4 [9] Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou
forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and
lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
[10] Specially the day that thou stoodest
before Yehovah thy God in Horeb,
when Yehovah said unto me, Gather me the people
together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me
all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that
they may teach their children.
-------------------------
“Tis the season to be pagan” is all around
us!
I
am reminded always to inform you to beware of the false
image of love, false emotions,
loneliness, depression, financial drain, suicide.
Be
aware of the artificial, false festival lights
and music they put up.
Satan
really sets the stage for you.
Beware if you feel or hear a voice telling you to separate yourself from the
congregation, go off on your own and read or
whatever.
Scriptures
says:
-------------------------------
I will explain how to keep the Sabbath
This is how simple it is:
Question: So why are we here today?
Answer: We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.
--
The Sabbath is the “4th Commandment” 0f the 10 Commandments
Today is the rest of the holy Sabbath unto Yehovah, the Sabbath, the 7th day
The Sabbath is not
a service for an hour and a half, but a 24 hour period on the seventh day. Nor any day you might pick.
--------------
God has
already selected the 7th day of the week
Gen.2 [1] Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
[2] And on the seventh day God ended his work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.
[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.
-------------
Lev. 23 [32] … from even (sunset) unto even (sunset), shall ye celebrate your Sabbath.
The Sabbath is the 4th Commandment of the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan
The 10 commandments are in Exod. 20 and Deut. 5 - if you just know this, you will know more than most ministers.
זכר Remember
zâkar - zaw-kar' - A primitive root; properly to mark (so as to be recognized), that is, to remember; by implication to mention; make mention of, be mindful, recount, record (-er), remember, make to be remembered, bring (call, come, keep, put) to (in) remembrance, be still, think on, well.
Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
--------
Isa. 58 [13] If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of Yehovah, honorable; and shalt honor him,
1 - not doing thine (your) own ways
2 - nor finding thine (your) own pleasure
3 - nor speaking thine (your) own words:
[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yehovah hath spoken it.
------------
Lev. 23 [3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an "holy convocation"; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
Dwelling:מושׁב môshâv - seat, assembly, dwelling-place, dwelling, your situation, location, (at) time of dwelling.
All Sabbaths are "holy convocations, a miqra kodesh"
Lev.23
[1] And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, concerning the feasts of Yehovah, which ye
shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are
My feasts.
[3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
[4] These are the feasts of Yehovah,
even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
Holy convocation
מקרא miqra: convocation, convoking, reading, a calling together, sacred assembly, something called out, that is, a public meeting (the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal
קדשׁ kodesh: a sacred place or thing; consecrated, dedicated, hallowed, holiness, saint, sanctuary, apartness, sacredness, separateness, apartness, sacredness, holiness: All to the God of Israel.
------------
Buying and selling is evil on the Sabbath
Neh. 13
[16]
There dwelt men of Tyre
also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in
Jerusalem. [17] Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto
them, what evil thing is this that ye do, and profane
the Sabbath day?
----------------------
It is amazing, everywhere you travel, there is no God of
Israel
Strange gods, other gods abound
20 matches for the words “did
evil” in the TaNaKh
All through the Bible – all the Kings of Israel were evil, and many of the Kings of
Judah
Where are we today 2017?
---------------------
[1] And God said unto
Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest
from the face of Esau thy brother.
[2] Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were
with him, Put away the strange gods that are
among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
אֱלֹהֵי
הַנֵּכָר - nêkâr - foreign, a foreigner, heathendom: - alien, strange (+ -er).
[3] And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto
God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way
which I went.
[4] And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which
were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears;
and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
----------------------------
[18] Of the Rock that
begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
[19] And when Yehovah saw it, he abhorred them,
because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
[20] And he said, I will hide my face from them, I
will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward
generation, children in whom is no faith.
[21] They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they
have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy
with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish
nation.
----------------
[14] Now therefore fear Yehovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put
away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in
Egypt; and serve ye Yehovah.
[15] And if it seem evil unto you to serve Yehovah,
choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers
served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites,
in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yehovah.
[16] And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake Yehovah, to serve other gods;
[17] For Yehovah our God, he it is that brought us up
and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which
did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we
went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
[18] And Yehovah drave out
from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore
will we also serve Yehovah; for he is our God.
[19] And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve Yehovah: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he
will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
[20] If ye forsake Yehovah, and serve strange gods,
then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you
good.
[21] And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve Yehovah.
[22] And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses
against yourselves that ye have chosen you Yehovah,
to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
[23] Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods
which are among you, and incline your heart unto Yehovah
God of Israel.
[24] And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God
will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
[25] So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute
and an ordinance in Shechem.
[26] And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a
great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that
was by the sanctuary of Yehovah.
[27] And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness
unto us; for it hath heard all the words of Yehovah
which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a
witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
[28] So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.
[29] And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the
servant of Yehovah, died, being an hundred and ten
years old.
[30] And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side
of the hill of Gaash.
[31] And Israel served Yehovah all the days of
Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived
Joshua, and which had known all the works of Yehovah,
that he had done for Israel.
[32] And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of
Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground
which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of
Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it
became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
[33] And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they
buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his
son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
--------------------
Judg.1 - they
all went backward
[13] Yet ye have forsaken
me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
[14] Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the
time of your tribulation.
[15] And the children of Israel said unto Yehovah, We
have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto
thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.
[16] And they put away the strange gods from
among them, and served Yehovah: and his soul was
grieved for the misery of Israel.
-----------------------
[1] So Abijah
slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was
quiet ten years.
[2] And Asa did that which was good and right in the
eyes of Yehovah his God:
[3] For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and
brake down the images, and cut down the groves:
[4] And commanded Judah to seek Yehovah God of their
fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
------------------
----------------------
---------------------------
---------------
-----------------------
[25] And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of
them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye
shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto
your sons, or for yourselves.
[26] Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet
among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and
God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even
him did outlandish women cause to sin.
[27] Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this
great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying
strange wives?
[28] And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore
I chased him from me.
[29] Remember them, O my God, because they have
defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
[30] Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the
priests and the Levites, everyone in his business;[31] And for the wood
offering, at times appointed, and for the first fruits.
Remember me, O my God, for good.
--------------------------------

Halloween - Also called All Hallows Eve, All Saints' Eve, Samhain,
Hallowed End
A History of Halloween
The origin of Halloween is the Celtic Festival of Samhain, lord of death and evil spirits. Long before Christ
(at least 2000 years), Druids in Britain, Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany
and other Celtic countries observed the end of summer by making sacrifices to Samhain. The Celts considered November 1st as being the day
of death because the leaves were falling, it was getting darker sooner and
temperatures were dropping. They believed Muck Olla, their sun god was losing
strength and Samhain, lord of death, was overpowering
him. Further, they believed that on October 31st Samhain
assembled the spirits of all who had died during the previous year. These
spirits had been confined to inhabit animals bodies
for the past year, as punishment for their evil deeds. They were allowed to
return to their former home to visit the lving on the
eve (Oct. 31) of the Feast of Samhain. Druid priests
led the people in diabolical worship ceremonies in which horses, cats, black
sheep, oxen, human beings and other offerings were rounded up, stuffed into
wicker cages and burned to death. This was done to appease Samhain
and keep spirits from harming them. It is clear to see that HALLOWEEN HAS
ALWAYS BEEN A CELEBRATION OF DEATH.
Our
Pilgrim forefathers well knew of Halloween's occult roots. In fact they banned
celebrating Halloween in America. Halloween was not
celebrated in this country until 1845. At that time multiplied thousands
of Irish emigrants flooded into New York because of the Irish Potato Famine of
1845-46. They brought with them the old Druid holiday of Halloween. Gradually
celebrating this day spread throughout the rest of the country.
Halloween
- Celtic peoples (Britons, Gauls, Scots, Irish) They observed the end of summer with sacrifices to SAMAN (Shamhain). He was "the lord of death and evil
spirits". This marked the beginning of the Celtic New Year.
Depending
on your source material, the Druid lord of death and evil spirits was called Saman, Samana, Shamhain or Samhain. His
"holiday" was called "The Vigil Of Saman" or Samhain
(pronounced so-wein). You probably have seen a modern
day version of SAMAN without even knowing it. This pagan god was shown as a
ghostly, skeleton holding a sickle in his hand. He later came to be known as THE GRIM REAPER.
The Druids - They were occult
practitioners, witches of sorts. In the century preceding the birth of Christ,
Caesar conquered the Britains and he records very
carefully the account of the DRUID PRIESTS (early witches)..."All Gallic
nations are much given to superstition...they either offer up men as victims to
the gods, or make a vow to sacrifice themselves. The ministers in these
offerings are the Druids, and they hold that the wrath of the immortal gods can
only be appeased, and man's life redeemed, by offering up human sacrifice, and
it is a part of their national institutions to hold fixed solemnities
(Ceremonies) for this purpose."
Sacrifices - Druid priests and people would go from house to house
asking for fatted calves, black sheep, and human beings. Those who gave were
promised prosperity and those who refused to give were cursed and threatened.
In addition, it was likely that all of the "wandering spirits" would
get hungry. If you set out a treat for them, they would not trick or curse you. Hence we have
THE ORIGIN OF TRICK OR TREAT.
"Trick or Treat is a reenactment of the Druidic practices.
The candy has replaced the human sacrifices of old, but it is
still an appeasement of those deceptive evil spirits.
The traditional response to those who do not treat is to have a
trick played on the.
When
you give out Halloween candy, you are, in essence providing a sacrifice to false gods.
You are participating in idolatry" says the former high priest
of Wicca, Tom Sanguinet.
The Jack-O-Lantern - The World
Book Encyclopedia, 1977 edition, volume 9, page 24-26
says, "The apparently harmless lighted pumpkin face of `Jack-O-Lantern' is an ancient symbol of a damned soul.
"In the book Occult Conceit
the author says on page 190, "The
candlelit pumpkin or skull served as a signal to mark those farms and homes
that were sympathetic to the Satanists and thus
deserving of mercy when the terror ("trick or treat") of the night
began."
Further, an old edition of The World Book Encyclopedia says
"The apparently harmless lighted pumpkin face of the Jack-O-Lantern is an
ancient symbol of a damned soul."
COSTUMES - They originated with these terrible
Druid death rites also.
As people and animals were screeching in agony while being burned
to death, the observers would dress in costumes made of animal skins and heads.
They would dance, chant and jump through the flames in
hope warding off the evil spirits. Again, the early origin of
costumes is repulsive. On the evening of October 31st, the Druids, who were the
occultic priests and teachers of the Celts, ordered
the people to put out their hearth fires.
The
Druids built a huge new year's bonfire of oak branches, which they considered
sacred. They burned animals, crops and human beings as sacrifices to their sun
god Muck Olla and Samhain, their god of death. During
this diabolical ceremony the PEOPLE WORE COSTUMES
made of animal heads and skins.
They
then practiced divination, looked for omens in the struggle of the victims
sacrificed in the fires, jumped over the flames or dashed through them, danced
and sang. All of this was done to frighten the evil spirits away.
According to Man, Myth & Magic, volume 1, page 68, "The guisers went from house to house, singing and dancing.
Their bloodcurdling masks and grotesque costumes may have been meant to keep
evil at bay, or more likely, were visible representations of the ghosts and
goblins that lurked in the night..."
In the 11th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica, volume
12, page 8578 it states, "It was the Druids belief that on the eve
of this festival (November 1st, Celtic New Year) Samhain, lord of death, called together the
wicked souls (Spirits) that within the past twelve months had been condemned to
inhabit the bodies of animals." Samhain would then send these evil spirits to attack
people on the eve before the November 1st celebration. The only way these
people could escape was by assuming disguises and looking like evil spirits
themselves. (See Christianity Today, October 22, 1982,
p.32)
BOBBING FOR APPLES - In A.D. 43 the Roman Empire was in solid
control of the Celtic people. As a result of this control the idol worshipping
Romans introduced another ceremony honoring their false gods to the already
demoniacal Druid New Year's celebration. It was in
honor of their goddess of fruit trees. They would try to grasp fruit,
floating in water, without the use of their hands. This
is the origin of BOBBING FOR APPLES according to the Atlanta Journal & Constitution,
Associated Press quote, October 16, 1977.
The Black Cat - In the 1959 edition of World Book
Encyclopedia, under Halloween it was noted that Druid priests believed
that cats were once human beings but were
reincarnated as punishment for evil deeds.
Because
of this, they held cats sacred and involved them in their idol worship of
October 31st and November 1st.
Druids
believed "the cat was sacred and...that cats had
once been changed (from being human & reincarnated) into that form as
punishment for evil deeds." (The American Book of
Days, by George Douglas)
"Even
after Christianity spread to Europe...oxen were sacrificed on October 31st...and in medieval Europe, black cats [were] chosen as victims
in the belief that they were witches in disguise [and] were burned on that day
(Halloween)." (The American Book of Day, third
edition by Hatch)
It
is plain to see that cats, particularly BLACK CATS were thought to represent
EVIL. Further, they were a symbol of REINCARNATION. The Humane Society will not
release black cats around Halloween for fear that they will be mistreated or
sacrificed.
Check your neighborhood… any ghoulish decorations?
