Isaiah 13:10 The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.
Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the distress of those days ” ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
The Roman Catholic religion renounced Judaism as evil, and still force all Catholics to obey the pagan rules of the Popes.
The road to hell goes through Rome, and obedience to the Papacy.
This is a creed from Rome 1748 A.D, and from the days of Emperor Constantine. First the creed from 1748.
“I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads and sacrifices of lambs of the Hebrews, and all the other feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspirations, purifications, sanctifications, and propitiations, and fasts and new moons, and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and hymns and chants, and observances and synagogues. absolutely everything Jewish, every Law, rite and custom and if afterwards I shall wish to deny and return to Jewish superstition, or shall be found eating with Jews, or feasting with them, or secretly conversing and condemning the Christian religion instead of openly confuting them and condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Cain and the leprosy of Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal punishments to which I acknowledge myself liable. And may I be an anathema in the world to come, and may my soul be set down with Satan and the devils.”
….Additionally, in approximately 365 AD, the Council of Laodicea wrote, in one
of their canons:
Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day. Rather, honoring the Lord’s Day. But if any shall be found to be Judaizers, let them be anathema (against) from Christ”.
What’s really is ironic…..these laws were created by an antichrist Antiochus, and are the same things Constantine would later repeat and this is what people want to live by today. Totally going against God’s Word. People today are living under laws created by Antiochus and Constantine; both antichrists.
Scripture to ponder:
Matthew 24:15:
Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation, ‘ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand),
16“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.
19But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
20And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
21For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
Matthew 7:23
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.
Mark 2:27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
The Messiah came and explained certain sides about the Law of Moses, that the rulers in Israel had misunderstood. Like, the tight restrictions they had made on what was permitted to do on the Sabbath. The teachers of the Law had basically made man a subject of their rules and regulations. Not made a day of rest, a gift from God for the benefit of man. Without grace, the celebration of the Sabbath will become a burden.
The Messiah was in Jerusalem, celebrating the festival of Hanukkah. Why do most Christians have no clue about this?
The Messiah was in Jerusalem celebrating the festival of Hanukkah, found in the New Testament.
I can understand that Purim might be a little bit off screen, since it is mentioned in the book of Esther, only. Still Esther is a part of the Jewish Bible, which Christians call the Old Testament.
But Hanukkah is a New Testament feast, found in the gospel of John:
John 10:22:
Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. The Jews who were there gathered round him, saying, ‘How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.’
(end of scripture).
Please note “It was winter”. In Jerusalem the winters can be very could, and the animals would be in the mangers. Not out on the fields of Bethlehem.
Why is it not mentioned, that it was winter when Jesus was born?
There are neither signs, nor feasible facts in the Bible, linking the birth of Jesus to the winter season.
Could the Messiah have been born around the Feast of Tabernacles in October?
It would be easy for the Roman Occupiers of this land, to arrange for a census in Jerusalem when millions of Jews came home to their own native village. Most of the ancient Biblical villages were located around Mount Zion, the city of Jerusalem, a day walk away or so. Even Jesus the Messiah, was dedicated in the Temple, shortly after His birth.
It would be wise to arrange for a census when Jews celebrated a feast. It would be difficult to force Jews to travel around 25th of December, when there is no Jewish feast. And cold winds, and even snow are the normal climate, on the 700 meters high Mountains of Zion.
Catholicism is fraud. It was fraud in 325 A.D, and it is fraud today.
Celebrate the birth of Jesus the Messiah every day, and reject all kinds of paganism arranged for in his name. If you want to celebrate the birth of Messiah on 25th of December, at least be aware of who started this celebration. It was not the Jews who believed that Jesus was the Messiah, but rather the pagan papacy.
