Prologue We live in a world filled with bad news and with contradictions which raise uncountable questions as follows. Why do we see in the world a small class of very rich people in contrast to the great majority who lives at the threshold of poverty ? Why would the middle class undergo simultaneously in all the nations a set back in their living standards ? Why, in certain countries, do very poor people die of starvation, of diseases, of natural cataclysms and genocides? Why are these poor people practically abandoned by all forms of humanity, by their own local and national governments and by the famous United Nations ? Why do large fund campaigns intended to the deprived and to the victims seem to be completely ineffective or lost in administration fees ? Why would millions of people be abandoned by the authorities of this world to barely survive or worse still, to starve? In the context of the technologies, we see great technological developments which were expected to improve the global situation of the world by including the poor. Why are these technologies rather becoming weapons and threats against nations instead of the promised technical solutions to all the problems of humanity ? What happened with these developments? To whom were they used and will serve? From an ideological point of view, various nations adhere to different laws and traditions which cause conflicts between them. How can we reconcile these differences which were well established through millenniums of traditions? Can we succeed in developing a form of humanism or a religion or a way of life which could reconcile all the religions of the world in a durable peace? Why so many opposite and contradictory religions which cause wars and genocides? In the last years, a growing number of natural cataclysms afflict all the nations. We hear that the global warming is the cause of some cataclysms. Some blame the human activities as the cause of this warming. Is it really the cause or is there another cause for these natural cataclysms ? What can humanity do to slow down the global warming or to cause these cataclysm to stop ? Is it a natural cycle of inevitable warming instead of a consequence of human activities? Would the numerous deadly poisons and destructive human activities be the real threat to life on earth and a cause to the so-called natural disasters ? Is the earth as a living entity giving us warning signs and simply saying 'I had enough abuse'? Important researches are being done in scientific laboratories to discover the mysteries of life and even the source of life. Why has the definitive source of life not been found or admettited yet from the scientists ? What answer did the scientists announce openly to the world? Why do we hear so many contradictory theories if the scientists are so intelligent and so advanced? Many nations are afflicted by wars and by terrorism? Why cannot the nations agree to live in peace and in respect of the others? 14
In the medical field, amazing surgical operations are made on the human body to transplant different organs such as the heart, the lungs, the eyes, etc. Why did we not yet have succeeded in curing all the diseases if the developments are so advanced ? Is there a real desire to eliminate the diseases ? Do some authorities rather prefer to keep people sick as a source of income for a professional elite and for the great pseudo-medical corporations? After so many researches and discoveries in the agricultural field, why is there still lack of good food in the world and particularly in certain countries? Why is modern agriculture being limited by patents and genetic copyrights for the economic profit of a world cartel ? Did man learn important lessons from the past to avoid making again the same errors? Why do we regularly hear predictions of the end of the world in the medias ? Why do people believe in the end of the world as supported by such films as 2012 which cultivate the expectation of the destruction of this earth and human life? Will there really be an end of the world? What is it really? The world has been asking existential questions for a long time and what did it find? Does it believe that man has appeared by some inexplicable random chance in contradiction to all the natural laws active around us? Who can believe that man is part of an ignored plan which is rejected through incredulity ? Some people believe in repetitive reincarnations of man. Who can resolve these questions? Why do I exist and what will happen to me after death ? Where are the dead ? These questions have received uncountable contradictory and sometimes silly propositions depending on the religions. What is it really? Can we know the real answer to these questions, the Truth? Would there be an intelligent cause for the creation according to the irrefutable principle of causality ? Would death be the absolute end of human beings or would there be a life after life as an intended favorable fate for all human beings? Do we have a Creator who would have a plan for his creatures and his creation? The Bible answers clearly all these questions. The present work was written to reveal to some chosen persons all these biblical answers. It is in the Bible that we shall find uncountable revelations which were hidden until our days. The Truth on these questions can be found therein but it is a question of reading the Bible with the eyes of a renewed spirit. Already, in the world, thousands of privileged individuals of all races, of all nations, have begun to read and to understand the Bible according to a renewed spirit. The present editor has produced this work not to repeat what others have already said before but indeed to reveal new interpretations and to harmonize the correct doctrines of the Bible. Inevitably, this work will bring corrections to erroneous biblical interpretations. The reader will have to discern the Truth and make a judgment on the understanding of the biblical verses quoted according to the renewal of his spirit. Besides answering many questions, this work aims several objectives by covering the most important subjects in the Bible.

- Prepare the reader to face the adversities - Reveal the correct meaning of certain incorrectly translated and interpreted biblical verses What is the motivation to produce this work? -
A thirst of the Truth A desire to know the purpose of life A desire to share the Good News and the hope coming from the Truth A desire to free the people through the Truth A desire to share untold discoveries in the Bible An hatred for the lies and the abuses A desire to stop the suffering due to wickedness A desire to see happy children A desire to stop wickedness A desire to share the results of numerous biblical studies A desire to share the found answers The call and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit
Permission is here given to all to reproduce the present contents in its entirety or partially for the free public education. You are challenged to verify/prove for yourselves what is written in the Bible and reported here with the verses and their explanations. You are privileged to know the fantastic offer from the Father Creator if you accept it. Is it possible that among the readers, individuals may be chosen to be a part of the next government on earth of the Father Creator? We must stop believing blindly to men but rather we must verify their truthfulness ourselves with determination in the Bible. You will find here important hints to the Truth and correctives of lies well established in the world. Evil has been tolerated during approximately 6000 years for the great lesson of humanity. This period will soon end to give way to a period of peace and prosperity of 1000 years on earth where evil will be excluded. Thus, all humanity will live according to the perfect way during 1000 years on this earthly paradise caused by the obedience of the perfect laws of the Father Creator. Herein are briefly explained in this work, this plan of salvation / creation, this perfect way and this destiny. The content of this work is continually updated according to the increase in knowledge which is available in these last days. The author does not hesitate to correct any error and to add any aspect which may become useful to all Bible student.
_____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ ____________________________ 1. Warning At first, this work was realized to gather and compile the latest results, the latest discoveries of the present editor after more than 40 years of reading, studies and spiritual questioning. At the same time, it is offered to share with those who are called to seek the
Truth and who wish to turn in Truth to Father Creator in obedience. This work is in continual growth by being regularly revised thanks to new understanding, new insights, new revelations and to relevant comments from readers or other Bible students who share their points of view. Certain details may thus change in time according to the corrections of the Holy Spirit and according to the fulfilment of the prophecies. Evidently, knowledge of the Truth is in continual growth, thus the improvements and the continual additions. Thus, this work may contain errors coming from incorrect translations, incorrect interpretations and/or incorrect understanding. You are responsible to personally study these questions to verify them like the Jews from Berea did. Acts 17:11 These [from Berea] were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. With time and with the adding of numerous details, the present work has become a treaty on the biblical message in the new covenant (see 3.2 The New Covenant). The hope of humanity lies in this New Covenant which the Father Creator has begun with humanity. It is an invitation to a change of attitude towards our Father Creator YHVH, towards His son Yahushua the messiah and towards our human brothers (see 2.2.1 The Biblical Names). We have all been deceived by our own evil carnal tendencies, by society and by Satan, to rebel against our Father Creator and against His instructions. Our ignorance and our rebellion against the instructions of our Father Creator has resulted in wars, slavery, sufferings and death since the fall of Adam. In these last days, our Father Creator is calling us to turn to Him, as our Creator and our Savior. It is certainly not to human associations called churches nor to human governments nor to other human beings nor to false gods that we must give our allegiance. Our allegiance belongs to our Father Creator who is accomplishing His plan of salvation / creation since the beginning through His son Yahushua the messiah. He offers us life and good. Deuteronomy 30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; He asks us, in fact, He commands us even to choose life. Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, We had this choice to make in the past but we chose evil and death in rebellion because of the ignorance of the Truth and the necessity of learning bitterly from our errors. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge ... In the past, men have been sent by the Father Creator to warn His people who disobeyed Him to call them to obedience. Among these men, prophets, we can enumerate Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jonah, Jeremiah, Amos, etc. and even Yahushua the only son. You will find in this work simply what these men wanted to say to call the elect to obedience to the laws of the 18
Father Creator. We must stop the popular practices which are directly opposed to the laws of the Father Creator and which are thus sin. 1John 3:4 Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. This work is also written as a warning. The vital instructions of the Father Creator were voluntarily hidden by even those who had the duty to teach them. By hiding the Truth, they want to take over the global resources and men as slaves. We must free ourselves from all human associations which impose their creed by intimidation and threath. This type of intimidation is now denounced by an increasing number of individuals who have discovered the frauds imposed by a world elite. The whole world is actually fallen under Satan's power, the god (leader) of this age. 2Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god [chief] of this age hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ [Yahushua], who is the image of Creator Father, should shine unto them. The present work is being done independently of all churches, associations and human groups, thus without human allegiance. So, to allow the spiritual growth in the Truth, it is not advised or wise to be a part of a human church or an official human association with their unchanging creed. Regrettably, the great majority of these associations are subjected to the unjust human laws and traditions which are a part of the apostasy of the last days. Fallen into apostasy, they have become a snare and a form of intellectual, psychological and spiritual slavery. We have all been deceived, but from now on, we must stop obeying blindly to men who have usurped the authority on the earth. We are commanded to come out of this modern Babylon and its unjust associations. Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. Those who will refuse to believe and to obey the Father Creator and His perfect laws by rejecting even the messiah, His son Yahushua who returns to save them, will undergo the wrath of the lamb and of the Father Creator. They will be treated as they treated others and will undergo the penalty of death for their crimes and their genocides. John 3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of Creator Father. The truth is that our Father Creator YHVH has a perfect plan of salvation / creation in which we are all included for good and perfection in happiness. It is the only real hope that we have. Who would oppose such a plan? 1Timothy 2:3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of Creator Father our Saviour; 4 who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.

2. YHVH's Words Father Creator YHVH has spoken his words to His people through His angel YHVH and/or through His holy Spirit. These words were then written by men chosen by Father Creator and inspired by His Holy Spirit. These original writings in their original language, before any imperfect manipulation by the Jewish scribes, constitute Father YHVH's true words. It is this inspiration of Father Creator YHVH that makes these original writings of great value for humanity. However, we do not have these original writings but only manuscripts copied out manually by scribes. Furthermore, the modern translations of the books of the Bible and the other books represent a human version of those manuscripts copied from the original writings. These translations are thus imperfect and are not completely reliable without the holy Spirit. However, they are precious because they are, today, our first access to Father Creator's words. Obviously, the Holy Spirit constitutes the most important access to Father Creator's truth because this access may be the most reliable source when Father Creator inspires us His words. So, according to a recent revelation, the Book of Enoch and the Book of the Jubilees should be included in Father Creator YHVH's inspired writings, at least partially and with the same limitations due to imperfect translations. Although we have to suffer from incorrect translations and from certain pollutions, these 2 books reveal additional information which cannot be ignored, in particular, concerning the true calendar (see 9. YHVH's Calendar). Our Father Creator has given His creatures several instruction books by which we can understand His perfect will and live perfectly happy lives (see 3.0 YHVH's Perfect Way) Deuteronomy 5:33 "You shall walk in all the ways which [YHVH], your El has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess. Jeremiah 7:23 "But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your El, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’ Even if many men and high authorities reject these instructions, it does not change their validity nor their applications (see 2.1 The Validity of the Bible). Just as the law of gravity cannot be changed, neither can these linstructions be changed. Matthew 5:18 For truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass, one stroke or one pronunciation mark shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Regardless of the actual rejection by the unbelievers and rebels, YHVH's words establish the absolute authority of the Father Creator YHVH and of His son Yahushua, formerly the Word also called YHVH like his Father (see 6.2 The Angel of YHVH). The Words of YHVH also give us the consequences of our disobedience (see 8.1.2 The Wages of Disobedience). Our omniscient Creator Father could tell us beforehand the catastrophic events which will result from our abuse of our human brothers, of ourselves and of our environment. The inspired writings thus contain prophecies of future events through which our Father
Creator will accomplish His plan of salvation / creation and will establish His just government on earth with His son Yahushua and His born again children (see 11.0 YHVH's Plan in 7 Solemnities). They also contains exhortations and encouragement for the elect who will be persecuted because of their obedience and because of their loyalty to Father Creator. Yet, it is very important to recognize that the biblical translations which we actually have are not perfect to render the exact meanings of the original writings (see 2.2 The Translations). Only the Holy Spirit can allow us to discern the Truth and the true meaning of the words behind those translated texts. Certain corruptions of the manuscripts have already been denounced in the modern translations already hundreds of years ago (see 2.2.2 The Corruptions). The proof of these corruptions is seen in the diverse ancient manuscripts of the original texts which are found today (see 2.2.3 Biblical Texts). That is why it is necessary to be careful before establishing or rejecting certain doctrines based on a single biblical verse which is not confirmed by all the concepts revealed in the Bible and certain books (Enoch and Jubilees). It is only through discernment and with a renewed spirit that we can discover the Truth and refute the errors ensuing from erroneous translations (see 2.8 Coherence and Logic). Regardless of the confusion from the translations, the elect must interpret the Biblical concepts with a renewed spirit in a coherent system. As Colossians 2:17 says, the interpretation belongs to the body of Yahushua, the elect, not to worldly scholars. Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body of Christ. In other words, let no worldly scholars guide you or worst, mislead you in these matters, but let the body of messiah guide you.

2.01 Original Language According to a recent revelation, the original writings of the ancient books of the Bible and others were written in an ancient language called paleo-Hbrew or Pro-Hebrew or Phoenician. This original language contains 22 consonants without vowels. It is different from the modern Hebrew which is a recent invention with points to indicate vowels sounds in reading. For example, the Hebrew texts in the Dead Sea Scrolls contain no vowel nor vowel points (see Chart 2.02). In the archaeological findings, there are several examples of these original writings. One could imagine that the angel YHVH spoke to Adam in this pure language from the beginning. This would be the original language spoken by our fathers until the confusion of languages at the Tower of Babel. According to some experts of the ancient pro-Hebrew, the sounds of the 22 consonants are identical with the vowel sound a. In this case, one might consider that the reading of ancient texts did not require vowels or vowel points because all could read without vowels. We should also consider that the modernization of the Hebrew caused the loss of the true pronunciation of the words, let alone the Babel of languages miracle that created other languages. One would assume that the pro-Hebrew was retained by the patriarchs who were not at Babel at that event of the creation of other languages. However, over the years, we must recognize that the so-called Jews helped replace the pro-Hebrew through their invention and managed to hide the true pronunciation of the original words. An important implication of the loss of the original language is the loss of the pronunciation of the name of the Father Creator according to the tetragrammaton YHVH. Obviously there are several versions of its pronunciation, but it is difficult if not impossible to know which was the original and true pronunciation. However, like the rest of the Creator Father's secrets, we might receive His revelations, in particular, in recent days. It becomes clear that the Father Creator would not reveal His name to all men from all time. Knowing His name obviously requires to pronounce it correctly. An individual named John is not called Jone or Jin. All names of Bible characters have all been changed by modern names. It does not matter if only the story and message are important. However, when we want to pray and be baptized in the name of the Father Creator and His son, this could become important.
2.02 DSS Diagram The next photo is taken of the large manuscript of Isaiah which is part of the Dead Sea Scrolls found there nearly 60 years. We see the letters without vowel points, showing that the addition of points of vowels in modern Hebrew is a human invention that may have resulted in the change of the pronunciation of the original words.
2.03 Biblical Canon Today there are several Biblical canons according to various modern religious associations. Modern Judaism strictly limits its biblical canon to certain books of the Old Testament. The so-called Christians have added to the Old Testament, the gospels and other letters. By examining the various biblical canons, we would discover that there is a great diversity in the books to be included or excluded from the Bible. Thus, one can already find differences between Catholicism and Protestantism. For example, some books such as Tobit, Judith, and 1Macabées 2Macabées are included in Catholicism but are excluded in Protestantism. What importance do we give to a particular Bible cannon versus another? The most important question to determine which books to include or exclude is: which books are inspired by the Holy Spirit and trustworthy? Then, by what authority do you decide to include or exclude certain books? The Roman Catholic Church has certainly taken the authority to establish its cannon such as its judgements upon certain councils such as the Council of Trent in 1546. Can we seriously recognize legitimate authority to churches or human associations who reject the laws of Father Creator? Currently, in this modern Babylon, the Beast system changes or repeals laws of the Creator Father and replaces them with human laws and traditions. Who then can recognize or determine that a book is inspired or not, regardless if the modern translations are not perfect? The judgement would logically be done based on extant doctrines and paradigms. For example, if any book contradicts a doctrine established by a church or association in their view, it would be rejected by the church or association as apocryphal or even blasphemous. In the case of the Roman Catholic church, it rejected the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees. In fact, we find in these two books describing a calendar that contradicts the Gregorian calendar established by Pope Gregory Catholic in 1582. However, these books were possibly simply excluded because they were not available at the time to establish the canon of the Bible, at least by the Roman church. Indeed, we find these two books present in the biblical canon of the Ethiopian Church. Why and how were these two books found there? Moreover, the Ethiopian church canon contains several other books that are also excluded from the Catholic canon and even the Protestant canon (see the Ethiopian canon on internet). The Ethiopians surely have received them from their ancestors called Beta Israel and the Falasha (see Wikipedia article on the Falasha). Today, thanks to the Internet, many ancient books are made available to the public and researchers of the truth. Thus, it is possible that many more can, regardless of any association, recognize some books as inspired. In conclusion, in these last days, many will turn to the will of the Father Creator through the Holy Spirit. So many can receive inspiration and revelations through these books called the Apocrypha. YAOHÚSHUA has promised us that this Spirit of Truth would guide us into all Truth.
24
John 16:13 But when He comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth; because it does not speak on his own, he will speak only what he hears, and he will shew you things to come.
2.04 Multiple Editors It is recognized by many scholars that the writings of the Bible comes from several authors in various books. It is now also recognized that we find more than one account of the same event in the same book. For example, we find: - Two creation stories in Genesis - Two stories of the covenant between YHWH and Abraham - 2 stories of the naming of Isaac - 2 stories renaming of Jacob - 2 stories of the 10 commandments (Exodus and Deuteronomy) - 2 stories of Moses striking the rock at Meribah One explanation for this multiplicity is the participation of several editors. For example, in Genesis, the first chapter could be written by a first author and chapter 2 would be written by another author. A third writer would have embedded these two stories into a single text. However, this interweaving cause additional difficulties in the correct interpretation of the chronology of events. This is why it is necessary to review these repeated accounts to put them in the correct order to restore the true chronology. This is why it is primordial to ensure coherence and logic in establishing the true doctrines and interpretations of all chronologies (see 2.8 Consistency and logic).
26
2.1 The Validity of YHVH's Words For the more experienced biblical students and for the elect, the validity of the Bible has already been established in their spirit because of their own observations and faith. For the new biblical students or readers, it is necessary to recall the reasons for this validity. Firstly, the fulfillment of prophecies is proof that the Bible comes from the only True Creator YHVH who lives in eternity, outside of created time. The Father Creator YHVH knows from the beginning of the creation, what we call 'the future '. Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am El, and there is none else; I am El, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Secondly, scientific discoveries have begun to support what was already revealed in the Bible. Besides, the disparity between the visible age of the universe perceived by the scientists and its real age is well explained by the factor of time acceleration of the Father Creator (see 4.4 The Age of the Creation). Thirdly, the historic proofs and the archaeological discoveries support numerous biblical statements. In spite of all these proofs of validity, many human associations reject the Bible to become attached to fables, to human laws, traditions and human doctrines. Most importantly, we must not confuse the modern translations with the Original Word of Father YHVH. The modern translations are not perfect and must be interpreted with the help of the Holy Spirit. Thus, only the elect may receive the correct interpretations. Who are the elect ?

2.2 The Translations We have access to imperfect human translations and/or copies of the original books of the Bible, of Enoch, of Jubilees and of the Dead Sea Scrolls, etc. Although imperfect, all these translations are useful to know, to understand and to decipher the meaning of the original true texts. Thanks to the comparison of certain ancient more reliable original texts and mostly thanks to the Holy Spirit, the elect can better understand the Word of YHVH and reject all frauds and human interpretations. The modern translations are not the true Word of our Father Creator YHVH for the following reasons. These translations are flawed, among others, because : - some Hebrew words have no equivalent in the modern languages - some Hebrew words were changed or removed in some copies by the rebellious Jews - the Jews wanted to hide with adonay over 120 times
certain
words
such
as YHVH which
they
replaced
- some Hebrew words and letters have points which are missing or changed in the available transcripts, thus varying the meaning - the translators were not converted and have integrated their own beliefs which were often erroneous - no translator is able to convey the true exact meaning of the Hebrew texts - above all, Father Creator YHVH is hiding the Truth to the world and is revealing it only to His elect - Satan is the Father Creatorf this evil age is used to blind the people with incorrect translations (2 Cor. 4:4)
To gain some authority, men will hold any Bible translation in their hands and quote the following verse : 2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of Creator Father, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Thus, they claim authority over other interested believers. These men do not realize how deceived they are by these imperfect modern translations and how they may deceive others unknowingly. These men can not believe that the devil has indeed deceived the whole world, including them. Furthermore, the exact composition of the so-called canon or which books were included in the official Bible is a human decision. Our Father YHVH may also have decided to exclude certain books until the end, just as He had not revealed everything to His ancient prophets. It is thus necessary to imagine/understand that the original texts of Father YHVH's inspired 28
prophets, in their original language, constitute the real Bible and not these translations. That is why total confusion reigns on this planet concerning these texts because men have introduced biased translations and interpretations according to their false beliefs, for example, concerning the false doctrine of the trinity. The concept of universal deceit and conspiracy is then understood and evident in the face of multiple human interpretations ensuing from these imperfect translations where even the elect would be deceived if it was possible or allowed by the Father Creator YHVH. Mark 13:22 "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. All new and more experienced students of the Bible must thus be warned of biased translations and interpretations to avoid being so easily deceived. Thus, with the appropriate precautions, they could avoid the traps causing the divisions among the believers. The fundamental coherence through all the Bible assures us that there are no contradictions nor incoherence in the original texts but only false interpretations or erroneous translations. It is only through the Holy Spirit that we may read and correctly interpret the Bible as far as YHVH indeed wants to open our eyes and reveal to us secrets which are hidden from the world. Indeed, everything is not revealed yet and we must accept the fact that we must wait for these progressive revelations of the Holy Spirit. Daniel did not receive all understanding but only part of it. For example, we find the term new moon in the numerous modern translations which is misleading due to its exclusive modern definition of lunar conjunction. Only through the recently revealed books of Enoch and Jubilees may we find that the term new moon also designates the 4 intercalary days in YHVH's recently revealed calendar and not the lunar conjunction. Thus, through a simple incorrect definition/translation of a term, the true calendar was hidden and had been replaced with a Judaic lunar calendar promoted by the rejected priesthood (see 9.01 Diagram & 9.02 Rules). We must note that the New Testament is particularly affected by wrong translations and interpretations. The use of computer tools and concordances is necessary to study the meaning of the biblical verses by comparing the ancient versions and the original underlying Strong words, if possible. We must be aware also of the global satanic conspiracy aiming to discredit the original Bible with wrong biblical translations because he is the Father Creatorf this world (2Cor. 4:4). Those people who were responsible for protecting the original books of Bible have introduced false interpretations based on their false doctrines. From these same interpretations and manipulations, others continue to discredit all of the Bible as being mere human inventions and rejecting even the existence of the Father Creator YHVH and all His armies of faithful angels. Thus, they replace His laws with contrary human laws and traditions which they claim to be more appropriate in these modern times. Most so-called churches promote obedience to these human laws and traditions, claiming incorrectly that we must obey the civil authorities because Father YHVH has placed them there (Romans 13:1). They fail to also quote Peter :
Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey Creator Father rather than men. After this present warning has been read, very few will be able to seriously review, readily admit error and repent because the brain has been thoroughly washed for years. Only through a serious awakening from the Holy Spirit can we come out of the box (the present evil world and its false doctrines). In the context of continuous repenting, we must realize that these imperfect translations are indeed a source of false doctrines because these incorrect translations mislead people to incorrect interpretations and false doctrines. Electronic biblical versions are available on the internet for on-line reading and comparison. A few biblical versions are available in Acrobat PDF format on the Onedrive storage site for download (see 13. Download). Other ancient books are also available on this link.

2.2.1 The Original Names The translators have translated the different Hebrew original names of the entities and persons with modernized names to be compatible with the contemporary men of these translations. For example, they have translated the Hebrew original name of an apostle Yacob into James in honour of king James who commanded this translation. The Hebrew biblical names such as contained in JAMES STRONG's Hebrew dictionary (DSH) and his Greek dictionary (DSG] were once preferred and used in this work. However, following a recent revelation, it turns out that these pronunciations are not from the original Hebrew transliterations but were changed from the original words. The original Hebrew language spoken by Adam and written by the patriarchs later is entirely different from modern Hebrew. The 22 letter alphabet of the archaic Hebrew contained no vowel nor vowel marks and points as the modern Hebrew. Unlike the modern Hebrew, the pronunciation of archaic Hebrew words was well known. It is possible that the sound of all the consonants were identical, thus obviating the vowels. Indeed, the texts of the Dead Sea Scrolls have no vowel point which is a modern invention. As a clarification, the names of entities will be added to the quotations of the modern biblical texts used in this work. In the great majority of the translations, the translators and even the ancient scribes have substituted certain words in place of the original Hebrew names. This practice continues even today in most of the modern translations. These replacements constitute a dissimulation and a ban to publish the true Hebrew names. Is it Father Creator's will to to reveal His name only to the elect? Here are below the Hebrew and Greek biblical names taken from Strong's dictionaries with its number. These names may designate the Father Creator, His son angel (messenger), the messiah and other persons of the Bible. YHVH (DSH 03068) tetragrammaton. The name of the Father Creator (see 7.1 His Name). This name was never translated by trinitarians in their versions of the Bible by using the word The LORD for example. This name was even hidden from ancient copies by the Jewish scribes. The pronunciation is still a controversy among believers. The name of the Father Creator is also beared by the first messenger (angel) created first son also called the Word (see Word 6.1 and 6.2 The Angel of YHVH). The exact pronunciation is subject to various variations. Among these are, Yahweh and Yehovah. However, by revelation, the name YHVH or YHWH would be pronounced as iaroo (yaohoo). Yahushua (DSH 03091) Hebrew name of messiah, which means YHVH saves, called Yahushuand Christ in the biblical translations (see 6.4.2 His Name). It is translated by Joshua in the modern translations.
El (DSH 0433 ‘ elowahh) singular Title of the only True Creator of everything, the Father Creator of all. Ulhim (DSH 0430) Title meaning king, prince, leader or authority over others, used for the angel YHVH, the angels and men delegated by the Father Creator. EL (DSH 0410) shortened term for Ulhim MIRYAM (GSD 3137 from DSH 04813) Name of the mother of the messiah Yahushua called Mary in the biblical translations ELECT or SAINTS Those who are predestined for obedience in the laws of YHVH and for the 1st resurrection YAH (GSD 03050) shortened name for YHVH LORD (HSD 3068 YHVH) designates the Father through His son the angel YHVH in the Old Testament, LORD (GSD 2069 kurios) designates in the new testament, the son Yahushua who also bears the name YHVH as his Father Creator, thus the Greek kurios 2069 word may be translated by YHVH EMMANUEL (DSG on 1694), particular name of the messiah in the announcement of the angel Gabriel, the name which means El with us. In that case, El designates the son firstborn and angel YHVH called the Word and not the Father Creator whom nobody has seen nor can see. JESUS (DSG on 2424) name translated into Greek for the name of the messiah in Hebrew Yahushua (see 6.4 Yahushua) CHRISTIAN (DSG 5546) the word used in the New Testament to designate the followers of messiah Yahushua. This word Christian will not be used in this work because the majority of those who are called Christian today in the world, do not keep what Christ the messiah and his apostles kept and taught. GOD (HSD 0430) is the translation of Ulhim and el in the Old Testament GOD (DSG 2316 theos) word of replacement for different names and titles such as Ulhim, el, El, king, prince, leader, etc. In the Old Testament, the word Ulhim designantes the person of the angel YHVH. In the New Testament, according to the context and the discernment, this word can sometimes designate the Father Creator.
32
LUCIFER (HSD 01966 heylel) a word meaning light bearer, shining star, morning star to designate the archangel who rebelled and was called after Satan, meaning the ennemy In this work, to distinguish the Father Creator from His son angel who bears the same name, the following titles will be exclusively used in this work for the Father Creator: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)
The only True Creator Father Creator Father YHVH Heavenly Father Eternal father Father El
2.2.1.1 The Name Lord From the modern translations and the software concordances, we can obtain original Hebrew and Greek words for all the biblical texts. However, we will have eventually discern the validity of the modern Hebrew words in contrast to the original or archaic Hebrew language found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The original Hebrew contained no trait nor pointings that are supposed to indicate the pronunciation of consonants without vowels (see 2.01 Original Language) In some modern translations of the Old Testament, the word LORD is translated from the tetragrammaton YHVH 03068 from James Strong's Hebrew dictionary (SHD). This name YHVH is found 5521 times in the Old Testament. Such as revealed in the Bible, YHVH is the name of the Father Creator (see 7.1 His Name). We have also discovered that His first son angel (messenger) called also the Word also bears the name of his Father Creator (see 6.1 The Word, 6.2 The Angel of YHVH and 6.4.3 His Name). The great majority of the modern translations have hidden this name YHVH by using a word such as LORD. The name of the Father Creator was thus hidden from the world. However, Yahushua declared that he came to reveal the name of the Father Creator to his disciples so that the Father may be glorified. John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. 6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Luke 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. The name of the Father Creator is revealed thus only to those whom He calls and not to the
world at large. Such as revealed also in the Bible, the messiah, the man Yahushua was the Word and the angel YHVH in his preexistence (see 6.4.4 His Preexistence). In the New Testament, we also notice that the word Lord is translated from the original Greek word 2962 kurios from James Strong's Greek dictionary (SGD). This word kurios is found 687 times in the New Testament and is translated 613 times as Lord. In the New Testament, we also discover a key which reveals the name of the Father Creator in His son Yahushua. Indeed, it was demonstrated that Yahushua also bore the name YHVH in the Old Testament and will also bear it at his return to earth. This key is revealed to us in quotations of the Old Testament in the New Testament. We learn that Yehosha still bore the name of YHVH in the New Testament but this fact is hidden by the modern translations. For example, the quotation in the book of Acts comes from Joel 2. Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith Creator Father, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord [2962 kurios] come: In particular we must note the expression 'day of the Lord' in verse 20 is translated 'the day of the LORD 'in the Old Testament . Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD < 03068 YHVH > come. In this verse, we find the expression ' the day of YHVH '. We thus find the correspondence between Acts 2 and Joel 2 which reveals the word 2962 kurios (SGD) as being the word YHVH 03068 (SHD). In all, we find the expression ' the day of the Lord ' (the day of Kurios) 6 times in the New Testament. From logic and coherence, we should translate these expressions in the New Testament by ' the day of YHVH '. Logically, we may ask why the word 2962 kurios in the New Testament is not translated by YHVH everywhere ? It is the conclusion which is proposed in this work. In conclusion, the name YHVH, is always found where the son Yahushua is implicated because he represents his Father Creator since the beginning (as the angel of YHVH) and forever (as the Word). By substituting the word Lord (2962 kurios) in the New Testament by the word YHVH, we obtain a totally different interpretation of the New Testament. When the apostle Peter prononced the text of Joel 2, he certainly prononced the name YHVH in the expression 'the day of YHVH' because he was Jewish and the writings of 34
the New Testament did not exist. This new translation of the New Testament would be interesting to read. The association called Jehovah's Witnesses has done such a translation.

2.2.2 The Corruptions of the Bible The experts on the biblical manuscripts agree that there were several corruptions of the biblical texts in the translations. Specific works were written to denounce corruptions and to report the true meaning of the original texts. For example, a work written in 1884 in English describes several corruptions from the Greek: THE CORRUPTIONS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT BY H.L. HASTINGS. This work is available for free download (see. 13. Download). We can find several details therein which confirm certain doctrines supported in the present work, such as ONE SINGLE Creator, the Father Creator YHVH. That is why biblical students are encouraged to verify and to compare several versions before making a definite ruling on the version or the valid interpretation of a verse. When we compare several Bible translations and their contradictory renditions, it is obvious that the translators did not understand the original texts in the same way and thus have corrupted the true meaning. Several incorrect translations cause much confusion in the world and among the brethren. Many false doctrines have been based on incorrect translations and personal interpretations. Thus, these incorrect translations are a source of false doctrines. An attempt to enumerate and describe such mistranslations can be found as difficult verses (see 2.6 Difficult Verses). Just as the Word of Father YHVH is perfectly coherent, so must be all inspiredbiblical concepts and doctrines. Human laws and traditions have replaced Father YHVH's truth in this world under Satan's rule. This replacement is continuing and may be accelerating as the world is opposed to YHVH's laws and truth.

2.3 Other Books Contrary to nearly universal opinion, the Bible such as known today, is not the only source of the words inspired by our Father Creator YHVH. Among others, ancient manuscripts discovered some years ago in caves, contain texts which are recognized as being valid. Indeed, expert linguists confirmed that these texts are reliable copies of the biblical texts which we use today. However, there are other writings called apocryphal which are not generally recognized as being reliable nor valid. Some writings may be rejected while others could be valid, at least partially, contrary to the opinion of the great majority who wants to admit no error in the current official biblical interpretations.
2.3.1 Dead Sea Scrolls from Qumran Among others, several scrolls were discovered in clay vases in caves (see Wikipedia in the link here). These texts contain similar information and other addditionnal information to the texts of the official Bible. However, the translations of these texts are not easily available even today.
2.3.1.1 MANUSCRIPT OF THE TEMPLE This ancient scroll is apparently the longest scroll found among the ancient manuscripts. It contains some details already contained in the official Bible. However, it gives some additional details concerning the temple including rules of operation and even solemn days and feasts which are not mentioned in the Bible (see 10.6.2 Additional Feasts).
2.3.1.2 Calendar Scrolls Some Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) contain detailed information on 364-day Enoch's calendar. It is proposed that those who left the scrolls in caves at Qumran were keeping a 364-day calendar. It is therefore plausible that this calendar is probably the one described in the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees. These scrolls, dating from the time of the life of Yahoushua, constitute proof that Enoch's calendar was kept by Yahoushua and the Pharisees authorities of his time. The Dead Sea Scrolls have been translated into English and are available from the internet. Despite some differences in several translations, the texts are very similar. Among others, here are 3 sources : 1) the Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English, Revised Edition, Geza Vermes, Penguin Books, available at the following link:

We can see it as a perpetual calendar where YHVH's feasts and the 7th day Sabbaths fall each year on the same days of the week. In this case, YHVH's weekly cycle is determined in Enoch's 364-day calendar, independently from the Gregorian weekly cycle which sets the Pharisees' Sabbath on Saturday (see 10.1.1 The Newly Found Sabbath). Part 1: Calendrical Exposition [(1) In the first month, (2) on the fourth (3) of it is a sabbath; (4) on the eleventh (5) of it is a sabbath; (6) on the four- (7) teenth of it is the Passover; (8) on the eight- (9) teenth of it is a sabbath; (10) on the twenty- (11) fifth (12) of it is a sabbath; (13) afterward, on the twenty- (14) sixth (15) of it is the Waving of the Omer.

2.3.2 BOOK OF ENOCH The famous explorer James Bruce in 1773 returned from six years in Abyssinia with three Ethiopian copies of the lost book. In 1821, Richard Laurence published the first English translation. The famous Charles R. H. edition was published in 1912. The Book of Enoch is now available on the internet, translated into French and English. Though the translations are not perfect, we can receive more confirmations and additional details to the common Bibles. Among others, specific information is given on Father Creator YHVH's calendar (see 9.0 YHVH's Calendar). The calendar information revealed in this book does not contradict the information shown in the Bible. However, they correct some misinterpretations arising from unclear modern translations. For example, the modern term new moon used in the Bible, unlike its modern worldly definition, does not only refer to the lunar conjunction but to a day at the head of the months called intercalary day of remembrance. This book was kept by the Ethiopian church in their biblical canon.
2.3.3 THE BOOK OF JUBILEES This book also is available in French and in English on the Internet. It is also supplied on the storage site at the following link: https://onedrive.live.com/?id=D620923D8F9616D4%21113&cid=D620923D8F9616D4 As the Book of Enoch, it also reveals additional information not found in the Bible. This
information is also useful to correct false interpretations of the Bible ensuing from incorrect translations. In particular, in harmony with the Book of Enoch, this book reveals YHVH's true calendar (see 9.0 YHVH's Calendar). Like the Book of Enoch, this book was kept by the Ethiopian church in their biblical canon.
2.3.4 The Book of Jasher In Hebrew, the word Jasher (03477) means just or true, so this would be the Book of the Just (man). This book contains several stories found in the common Bible and adds details and stories not found therein.
2.4 Gospel Harmony This type of document shows the 4 gospels of the New Testament in 4 parallel columns. The texts are then grouped and placed in chronological order of the events. Among other things, this shows the comparison of the 4 authors' version of particular events.
2.5 The Septuagint The Septuagint (LXX, Latin: Septuaginta) is a Greek translation of the Hebrew old testament. According to a tradition reported in the Letter of Aristide (2 nd century current era), the translation of the Torah has been done by 72 translators in Alexandria, circa 270 BCE, at the request of Ptolemy II cited from Wikipedia. Being anterior to the modern translations, this Septuagint version could be closer to Hebrew original texts than the modern versions. Consequently, it should be compared and examined in all the serious biblical studies to validate texts and discover any type of fraud, addition or retraction to the original texts. The Greek Septuagint version was recognized by the believers of the new covenant because it was available even before the advent of messiah. Even if the modern counterfeiters and usurpers were able to influence the versions of the Septuagint available at present, it could be as valid as the other modern versions. Today we have a Greek Septuagint text and 2 main translations as follows: 1) English translation by Sir Lancelot Brenton in 1851 at the link here. 2) French version by P. Giguet 1865 available from Google at the link here

2.6 Difficult Verses We must recognize that the biblical translations which are actually available are not the original writings nor the true words of Father YHVH. Men have translated manuscripts according to their understanding of the original texts and according to their often erroneous interpretations. We must appreciate that we do have some translations in our native tongue so that we can begin to review those subjects and concepts. There are biblical verses which seem to contradict other biblical verses or which are incoherent in relation to clearly established concepts. A list of these difficult verses will be enumerated below with some comments. Sometimes, the difficulty comes from our wrong understanding or incorrect interpretations. Sometimes, it is simply caused by a wrong translation which must simply be rejected and/or corrected. In every case, the Word of YHVH does not contradict himself. Comments are subject to spiritual discernment. All sound reflection and criticism are welcomed. Regardless of the confusion caused by the incorrect translations, the elect must interpret the Biblical concepts with a renewed spirit with truth and coherence, that is, with the help of the Holy Spirit. As Colossians 2:17 says, the final interpretation belongs to the body of Yahushua, to the elect, and not to wordly scholars.
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon [intercalary day*], or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but [let] the body of Christ [judge].
In other words, let no worldy scholars guide you or worst, mislead you in these biblical matters and doctrines, but let the body of Yahushua messiah guide you (see 2.6.11 Colossians 2:16 and 9.3.2 Intercalary Days). Who is the body of messiah? It is formed by those in whom the Holy Spirit is actively guiding in grace, to obey and grow in knowledge.
Furthermore, we now have access to other books such as the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees and some old manuscripts discovered near the Dead Sea (see 2.3 Other Books). Although, we must deal with incorrect translations of these additionnal writings, we do have additionnal information which is not found in the Bible.

2.6.1 Ezekiel 45:18-20 Ezekiel 45:18 Thus saith YHVH; In the first [07223] month, in the first [0259 one] day of the month [02320], thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary: 19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court. 20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house. In verse 18, the translators chose the expression ' In the first month, in the first day of the month '. In verse 20, they chose ' the seventh day of the month '. By examining the original Hebrew words, we discover that the translators have added words which change the meaning of the verses. In verses 18 and 20, the word day was added by the translators and the word month was added in verse 18 to the original text. It is not a small thing when three words are added in a simple phrase. Thus, in verse 18, in the original text, we have the words 07223 and 0259. However, the original text does not have the word day nor the first occurence of the word month. The word 07223 is often translated as first many times and 0259 only a few times as first but most often as the number one. Although the translators used the word first for both, that is improbable. Why would the same word be repeated twice in the original text? In fact, the words 07223 and 0259 are not exactly the same. 07223 ןושׁשׁארri’shown ree-shone’ or ןשׁשׁארri’shon ree-shone’ from 07221; ;{ See TWOT on 2097 @@ "2097c"} AV-first 129, former 26, former things 6, beginning 4, chief 3, before 3, old time 2, foremost 3, aforetime 1, misc 8; 185 adj 1) first, primary, former 1a) former (of time) 1a1) ancestors 1a2) former things 1b) foremost (of location) 1c) first (in time) 1d) first, chief (in degree) adv 2) first, before, formerly, at first

According to a recent revelation from the Book of Enoch, the biblical calendar includes 4 intercalary days which are the heads of months incorrectly translated as new moon in the modern translations. These 4 days are placed before the 1 st month, 4th month, 7th month and 10th month. I n the books of Enoch and Jubilees, there is no observance commanded on the 1st day of every month except in the 7th month which is the Day of Trumpets. Verse 18 implies rather the intercalary day at the head of the 1 st month. Thus, verse 20 points to the intercalary day before the 7th month (see 9.3.2 Intercalary Days). These verses concerned animal sacrifices according to the old covenant. In the new covenant, during the current era, animal sacrifices have ceased. What observance is left of these 2 intercalary days? These intercalary days are holy days which are always in effect with a holy convocation. In the new covenant, the people have been sanctified by Yahushua's atoning sacrifice. Contrary to certain private teachings which impose a fast on the 7 th day of the 1st month, there is no indication of fasting in these verses. On the contrary, the sacrifices of animals implied that the priests and the people ate the flesh of these sacrifices and did not fast. What we should remember is the sanctification process which begins on the intercalary days of the 1st month and of the 7th month.

2.6.2 Matthew 28:19 Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (RSV) There is a serious problem with the translation above of Matthew 28:19 and\or its use in a baptism ceremony in the context of the false doctrine of the trinity. This verse seems to be based on the trinity which is a false doctrine. It is a serious doctrinal problem if we use this trinitarian translation in the baptism ceremony or anywhere else. Such a use would promote the doctrine of trinity. We know that the Father Creator has a name YHVH and we know that the son is called Yahushua and YHVH like his Father Creator. But the Holy Spirit has no name because it is not a person as the trinitarians want us to believe. The Holy Spirit is a part of the Father Creator that He gives as His spiritual DNA code in the process of a spiritual reproduction after baptism (see 5.6.4 The Spiritual Process). We cannot entirely trust the modern translations and especially if a text contradicts the Essential Doctrines (see 3.1). We need the Holy Spirit to read through the translations and not fall in traps. In the Bible, we find 4 verses which confirm that the baptism must be made in the name of messiah called Yahushua which is YHVH saves. Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (RSV) Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of Father Creatornd the name of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah], they were baptized, both men and women. (RSV) Acts 8:15 who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit; 16 for it had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] Yahushua. (RSV) Acts 19:5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] Yahushua. (RSV) 1Corinthians 1:13 is Christ [Yahushua] divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? (RSV) Again, the name of the son is not really ' Jesus Christ ' but rather Yahushua the messiah and YHVH like his Father Creator. Serious studies have shown the real name of messiah as being Yahushua in Hebrew. However, the translation of the verse Matthew 28:19 could be read as follows: Matthew 28:19 Go, make all the nations of the followers, baptizing them in the name [YHVH] of the Father and the Son, through [or with] the Holy
Spirit, (personal translation) This translation above would attribute the name YHVH to the Father and to the son through the Holy Spirit, which would be coherent with the process of spiritual procreation resulting from the gift of the Holy Spirit (see 2.2.1.2 The Name Lord). We have 4 verses in favor of baptism in the name of Yahushua and YHVH and only one (Matt. 28:19) which seems to give 3 names according to the trinity. Why would we choose the trinity? The ceremony of baptism should be in accordance with the greater number of verses with coherence and logic (see 11.2.3 Ceremony of the Baptism). Why choose one verse which contradicts 4 others? We must be careful how we interpret the Bible but we must also be coherent with the true doctrines and all other relevant verses. When we verify which associations adopt the doctrine of the trinitarian baptism, we could find those who reject the laws of Father YHVH and the Sabbath. We must defend the Essential Doctrines and protect them against the false doctrines among which is the trinity.
2.6.3 Matthew 26:7 Matthew 26:17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Yahushua, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? There are 2 problems seen in this translation. Firstly, this translation seems to contradict the sequence of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread (see 10.4 Feast of Unleavened Bread). Indeed, we know that Passover is observed on the 14th day of the 1st month and the period of 7 days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the 15th day. According to the old covenant, the Passover lamb was killed on the 14th day and it was eaten during the night of the 15 th day (see 10.3.2 In the Old Covenant). How could the disciples prepare the Passover meal if they were already on the day on the 1 st day of unlavened bread (15th day) which is the day after the Passover ? The answer is clear in this case. The verse is simply an incorrect translation. By examining the original words in Greek, there is no word day (SGD 2250 hemera) in this verse. Matthew 26:17 <1161> The first one < protos 4413 > in the daytime Feast of Unleavened Bread < 106 >, disciples < 3101 > addressed <4334 ( 5656 ) > Jesus < 2424 Yahushua>, for him <846> to say <3004 ( 5723 )>: where <4226> do you want <2309 ( 5719 )> that we you <4671> prepare <2090 ( 5661 )> the meal < 5315 ( 5629 ) > of Passover < 3957 >? The translators did evidently not know the true sequence of the days of this solemnity to do 46
such an error. The text of this verse could have been simply translated as: before the Feast of Unleavened Bread... Secondly, the preparation in question in this verse occurred on the 13 th day of the first month, a few hours preceding the night of the 14 th when messiah took this meal of the new Passover with the bread and the wine (see 10.3.4 Passover of Yahushua). Indeed, a great number of biblical students and even scholars do not recognize the new Passover of Yahushua. This latter is eaten from then on during the night of the 14 th day while the former Passover was eaten during the night of the 15 th day. Such ignorance introduces a whole day in error between the Passover of Yahushua and the former Passover called the Passover of the Jews besides sowing confusion (see 10.3.5 The Jewish Passover).
2.6.4 Psalm 81:3 Psalms 81:3 Blow up the trumpet [07782 shofar] in the new moon [02320 chodesh - intercalary day - septuagint 3561 neomenia], in the time appointed [03677 kece], on our solemn feast day [02282 chag]. (AV) Some other versions render the word kece as full moon. Psalms 81:3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon , At the full moon , on our feast-day . ASV We find in the above verse mention of the new moon and the full moon. At first, according to a recent revelation of the Book of Enoch, the term new moon, contrary to the modern scientific definition, indicates the intercalary day and not the lunar conjunction (see 9.3.2 Intercalary days). Also, the term full moon is an incorrect translation as seen in several of the modern versions. By examining the original words of the masoretic texts and of the Septuagint in this verse, the original words do not indicate in any way the term full moon as it is demonstrated below. Although several of the modern translations include the term full moon, other translations use the terms at the fixed time, on the fixed day or in the glorious day. Because of such variations of translation and of the missing original words, the term full moon must be rejected. The additional confirmation in favor of the translation to ' the new moon ' in Psalms 81:3 comes from the septuagint version in Greek translated into English where we find the word neomenia, the same Greek word (3561 noumenia or neomenia) found in Colossians 2:16 for new moon (see 9.3.1 Neomenia & New Moon).
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon [3561 noumenia or neomenia], or of the sabbath days: The term 'new moon ' is clearly translated from the Greek word neomemia. However, the translation of 'full moon' from the word 03677 kece is really doubtful because some translators have translated the same word by ' new moon ' in Proverbs 7:20, the only other use of this word ' 03677 kece' in all the Bible. Proverbs 7:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed (kece 03677). This blatant contradiction with the translation of full moon in Psalms 81:3 makes such a translation of the word 03677 kece doubtful. Many other versions exclude any reference to the moon for the word kece. The Septuagint translation by Brenton translates the verse above as follows. Proverbs 7:20 having taken in his hand a bundle of money: after many days he will return to his house.(LXXE)
The word kece is translated as day. Consequently, it would not be wise to use any version to give to this word 03677 the meaning of 'full moon' and to establish a doctrine based on this doubtful interpretation. The word 03677 kece comes from the word 03680 kacah which means 'hidden or covered or unknown'. Unless we use the translation of the word kece as Proverbs 7 above, we are incapable of knowning exactly what it really means except it has nothing to do with the moon.

2.6.5 John 13:2 John 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him; (AV) This verse is translated in the this way in some English translations, but several other English versions translate this verse by ' During supper '. Others translate it by ' before the supper '. Which is the correct translations. Since so many translations contradict themselves, evidently, we may conclude that the Greek word 1096 ginomai does not convey a clear meaning ! Otherwise, we would have a unifrom translation in all languages. By reading the verses following after , we can better see the situation. John 3:4 [Yahushua] He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. After the washing of the feet, they sat down again. John 13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? John does not include the ritual of the bread and wine as described in the other gospels. John only mentions that Yahushua gave the dipped piece of bread to Judas Iscariot. John 13:21 When Yahushua had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.... 26 Yahushua answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. Since they sat at the table again and that they apparently continued to eat, we can conclude that the term 'during supper' is appropriate. Any rendering of the Greek word 1096 should not cause confusion in the known sequence of the events of that night (see 10.3.4 Yahushua's Passover).
2.6.6 John 1:1 John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Creator Father, and the Word was El. 2 The same was in the beginning with Father Creator. This verse is often used by Trinitarians and binitarians to support their doctrine of the trinity or others and to reject the Truth of the One True Creator Father YHVH. This verse seems to contradict the distinct separation between the Father Creator and the created son Yahushua. This interpretation thus is to be rejected as incorrect. According to all the doctrines and the valid verses, the verse should be understood as follows: The Word was created at first, the Word was in the presence of the Father Creator, and the Word was the delegated chief (Ulhim) and mediator for the Father Creator. The concept of the Word in the presence of the Father Creator implies inevitably the distinction and the physical and spiritual separation of 2 entities in presence. The concept of the unity of thoughts and will, is possible between 2 different entities without requiring the unity of 2 or 3 persons as the trinity. Furthermore, the Word was created as the first living creature and only son of the Father YHVH (see 6.1.1 In the Bosom of the Father) and 6.4.1 The Only Son). All the valid interpretations of this verse must respect the concept of an only True Supreme Creator and His created son Yahushua, formerly the angel of YHVH, formerly the Word. In the new testament, the word God (theos ) means Ulhim (chief) or the Father Creator according to the context. In the old testament, the Ulhim designates, among others, the son angel YHVH, the Word. It is absolutely necessary to distinguish the Father Creator YHVH from the son Yahushua YHVH, no matter how the translation of this verse is done. It is a matter of salvation. John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God [Father Creator YHVH], and Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah], whom you have sent. We must understand the principle of exclusive delegation (see 7.7 The Delegation).

2.6.7 Peter 3:10 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord [2962 kurios] will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. This verse mentions the Day of the Lord which is found in Joel 2 as the day of YHVH (see 11.5 The Day of YHVH). Joel 1:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD [3068 YHVH] is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Thus, in the New Testament, the Greek word 2962 kurios should be replaced by the tetragrammaton YHVH (see 2.2.1.2 The Name Lord). Also, by saying that this day will come as a thief, it is clearly associated with the same day mentioned by Paul in the following verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord [2962 kurios 3068 YHVH] so cometh as a thief in the night. The following verses seem to announce a complete destruction of the earth. 2Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God [2316 theos Father Creator], wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. In the revealed chronology of the Bible, this verse rather points to the purification of the earth after the millennium for Father Creator's establishment on earth. The judgment in question will be the last judgment of the Great Day also called of the white throne judgment (see 7.3.7 The judgment of the Great Day). Peter also speaks about it in another verse.
2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. The new heavens and the new earth are mentioned after the last judgment ending with the lake of fire. Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first
heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more. Logically, the new earth corresponds to Father Creator's establishment on earth. In Peter's writings, which day of YHVH is it question? As a concept, there is only one single day of YHVH. The day of YHVH can hardly be extended to 1000 years because that day is a day of wrath and a day of darkness. The 1000 year reign of messiah will be a paradise (see 11. The Millenial Paradise).
2.6.8 Deuteronomy 32:8 Deuteronomy 32:8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. [AV] The above verse was apparently manipulated to hide the truth concerning the angel of YHVH, called the Ulhim in the Old Testament by translating the last part as 'children of Israel'. The Septuagint and the RSV versions translate this part as 'children of God'.
Deuteronomy 32:8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of men, he fixed the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God [ Ulhim ], [LXXE and RSV]
Most of the modern versions have translated the last part of the verse above by 'children of Israel '. Logically, the word God in this verse designates the angel YHVH and not the Father Creator who is represented by his only son called also the Word. The children in question in this verse are indeed the sons of the angel YHVH who contributed his DNA code in the creation / procreation of these angels by the Father Creator.

2.6.9 Exodus 12:6 It will be shown here below how the erroneous use or interpretation of the Hebrew word ereb 06153 causes confusion and wrong doctrines among the Bible readers. Such an error is found in Exodus 12:6 for the sacrifice of the Passover lamb. This error can only be revealed in the light of the time of messiah's sacrifice at the 9 th hour (2pm) as will be shown below.
Exodus 12:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in [0996 beyn - between] the evening [06153 ereb]. ( AV) In the above verse, the translated expression in the evening causes the reader to understand a litteral meaning of the text which is simply incorrect. This error is clear when the modern term evening is understood as late afternoon (before sunset) or early night (after dark). Most modern Bible translations render it in the same way as in the evening or at evening which is equivalent in English. Yet in the above verse, the word in is from the Hebrew word 0996 beyn which is translated elsewhere in diverse manners and also as between. The Bible readers who casually read the English text only have no clue that the word in means between and thus the translation is textually incorrect. As will be shown below, the expression 'between the evenings' makes the meaning of the text totally opposite to the term 'in the evening' in verse 6 above.
Some Bible versions translate the expression as between sundown and dark. Others have translated it as between the evenings (RSV and Darby). It will be shown here below that the latter is the correct translation and that the translated expression in the evening in the above verse is erroneous and misleading. The same error is found in other verses reporting the same command to sacrifice the Passover lamb such as in Deut. 16:6 below. Logically, to understand the text, the reader must know the definition of the word evening [06153 ereb] (see 9.1 The Day). Because of incoherent translations, this definition would be an endless controversy but Yahushua has shown us the truth, again. Can we find the Bible's own clear definition of the word evening 06153 ereb in the story of creation ? Genesis 1:5 And El called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening [06153 ereb] and the morning were the first day. From this basic verse above in Genesis, we see the light called day and darkness called night. From the same verse (last sentence), we can receive the true definition of ereb 06153 as being the night part of the 24 hour day, in contrast to the morning when the light
begins. As the morning is light, the evening is darkness called night. The Bible confirms that the night (darkness) is clearly and totally separated from the light of the day (Gen. 1:18). We now know that the day is made up of a first part of darkness (night or evening) followed by a part of light (day or daylight).
If we use the correct expression as being 'between the evenings', we would read the above verse 6 as follows.
Exodus 12:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it between [0996 beyn] the nights [6153 ereb]. In modern English, we could also express it this way. Exodus 12:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it during daylight. This above rendering is confirmed by Yahushua's death at the 9 th hour (2 pm). Yet, since the daylight part is approx. 12 hours, we cannot determine a precise hour for the killing of the Passover lamb but the following verse gives another important hint for the time of the sacrifice of the Passover lamb.
Deuteronomy 16:6 But at the place which YHVH your El shall choose to place his name in, there you shall sacrifice the passover at even (06153 ereb), at the going down of [0935] the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt. (AV)
The other important hint is the expression at the going down of the sun in the above verse. The one Hebrew word 0935 below is translated as 'at the going down of'. Again, in several English and French versions, in the above verse, the term at sunset is used. In our modern language today, the term sunset means the precise moment when the sun disk has just disappeared or is disapearing under the horizon. The word sunset is a wrong translation and is misleading the modern readers as will be shown. The exact time of sunset is not the correct time of the day for the sacrifice of the Passover lamb as Yahushua was killed at the 9th hour (2pm).
Furthermore, in the above verse, the Hebrew word 0996 beyn is missing in the text and the expression at even cannot mean the same to the casual reader as between the evenings. Thus, the 2 contradictory uses of the word evening to indicate the same time to sacrifice the Passover lamb in Deut. 16:6 and Exodus 12:6 is clearly a confusion for the readers. The 54
word 06153 ereb appears also in this verse but as even instead of evening. Why is the same word ereb not translated the same ? But again, the word ereb is incorrectly used/translated as at even, misleading the reader to incorrectly beleive that the lambs were killed during the darkness of night or at the last minutes of the day. In fact, the lambs were killed hours before the end of the day as it is shown below. The translation should also be between the evenings in this verse of Deuteronomy 16 to be coherent with the rest of the Bible but above all to be coherent with the time of Yahushua's death, our Passover lamb. Those who refuse to admit such a flaw in the modern translations, may simply be rejecting the truth which is not a practice of the elect.
The whole matter is settled and proven at the death of Yahushua, the perfect lamb who died at the 9th hour on the 14th day of the 1st month (see 6.4.8 His Resurrection). In Jerusalem, the 9th hour corresponds to approximately 14h00 or 2 PM (see 9.1.2). We may then understand that in this above verse (v.6), the term at the going down of the sun indicates the time of the day when the sun has begun its descent in the sky, that is, during the period now called the afternoon, that is, from noon to dark.
As we can now see with Yahushua, the lambs had to be killed between the 2 evenings (ereb), that is, between the 2 periods of darkness called nights. There are different contradictory interpretations of so-called experts who place this slaughter between sunset and total darkness (see 9.5.1 Definitions - civil twilight). In the light of messiah's death, these so-called experts are no experts at all ! However, we can henceforth know the true interpretation through Yahushua. Thus, we know now that the lambs were killed between the night of the 14th day (12 hour darkness) and the night of the 15 th day (12 hour darkness). Thus, the sacrifice was done during the lit part of the 14 th day, that is, during the period of approx. 12 hours when the sun gives its light, directly (see 9.1 The Day). For all practical purposes, the word ereb indicates the night-part, that is, the total darkness and the twilights when no sunlight is visible, as seen in Genesis 1:5.
Some confuse the expression 'the going down of the sun' with the actual 'setting of the sun under the horizon' called sunset in our modern world. Thus, the time of sunset is confused with the time called afternoon from noon to dark (EENT).
In conclusion, the use and the translation of the word ereb 06153 is evidently compromised for diverse reasons among which the following :
- some Hebrew words have no equivalent in the modern languages -
the
Jews
wanted
to
hide
certain
words

with adonay over 120 times - some Hebrew words and letters have pointings which may be missing or changed - the translators integrated their own beliefs which at times were erroneous - no translator is able to convey the true exact meaning of the Hebrew texts - above all, because Father Creator YHVH is hiding the Truth to the world and is revealing it only to His elect
This is again another clear example of the errors in the modern translations (see 2.2 Translations). We must therefore review our interpretation of all the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit. In the light of messiah's revelation, we may henceforth interprete the occurences of the expressions 'in the evening' or 'at even' as being in the vicinity of 2 pm or 14h00. The elect must come out of the confusion caused by these wrong translations.
2.6.10 Leviticus 23:32 Leviticus 23:32 It shall be to you a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even to even, shall you celebrate your sabbath. It is necessary to understand at first the meaning of the word even which also means night, not as total darkness but according to its definition found in Genesis 1 (see 6.1 The Day). The day is defined from a sunset to the following sunset. Thus, this verse commands the fasting on the Day of Atonement from the sunset at the end of the 9th day. Thus, it is from the even (called night) that begins at sunset at the end of the 9th day which begins the 10th day. Thus, it is a 24 hour fast from this sunset at the end of the 9th day up to the sunset at the end of the 10th day. However, it would be necessary to begin the fast before the sunset of the 9th day to make sure of a real fast. The use of the word even or evening (ereb 06153) is problematic and causes confusion in several translations of the biblical verses. As explained in 2.6.14 Exodus 12:6, the word even or evening (ereb) designates the night period but there is a use of the word which is sometimes translated as between 2 evenings, which completely changes the meaning. While the word evening or even (ereb) alone designates the nocturnal period (night), in contrast, the term between the 2 evenings designates the lit diurnal period. In 56
other words, the term in the evening (ereb) in verse 32 above, designates the end of the afternoon as the sun disappears behind the horizon, that is the end of the day because the word 0996 between is absent. In contrast, with the presence of this word 0996 between, the interpretation received from verse 6 of Exodus 12 designates the daylight period of the day when the Paschal Lamb was killed during the afternoon and at the 9th hour such as Yahushua revealed it. A corrected translation would then be as follows: Leviticus 23:32 It will be for you a Sabbath, a day of rest, and you will humble your souls [fast] from the night (beginning of night - at sunset) at the end of the ninth day. You will celebrate your Sabbath from the night (beginning of night - sunset) to the following night (beginning of night sunset) (corrected version).

2.6.16 Colossians 2:16 Colossians 2:16 Let no one judge you in food or drink or concerning a feast, a new moon or the Sabbath days : 17 these are shadows of things to come, but the body of Christ [Yahushua]. The message of this verse is sent to the elect in the present tense according to a clear literal meaning. In this verse, the verb were shadows is sometimes used but it must be in the present tense as a current thing which the present tense of let no one judge. Several Bible versions do use the present tense. Independently of the confusion caused by the incorrect modern translations, the elect must interpret the biblical concepts with a renewed spirit in truth and in coherence with the rest of the Bible. As Colossians 2:17 says, the interpretation belongs to the body of Yahushua, that is, to the elect and not to the heathen unfaithful scholars of the world. In other words, let nobody nor wordly scholars judge you in these questions, but let messiah's body guide you. 1 Corinthians 13:12 Today we see by means of a mirror, vaguely, but then it will be face to face. Today I know partially, but then I shall know as I am known. Several so-called Christians use these verses of Colossians to reject the weekly Sabbath, Father Creator's commandment (see 8.2.4 The 4 th Command and 10.1 The Sabbath). For millions of individuals, the command of the 7 th day Sabbath has been replaced by the human command of Sunday, the 1st day of the week. Yet, the litteral meaning of this verse confirms to the elect the observance of Father Creator's solemnities and laws. Not only the keeping of the 7 th day Sabbath but that also of the annual solemnities and the keeping of the intercalary day called new moon (see 103..2 The Intercalary Day). Those who are keeping the 7 th day Sabbath should review Colossians to make sure to not neglect important matters. Furthermore, the mention of the food and drink, reiterates the continuity of the food laws still in effect but possibly a new rule under the new covenant concerning alcohol (see 8.4 Food Laws). The Bible repeats many times to abstain from certain food practices forbidden as James the states below. Acts 15:20 But that we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21 For Moses of old time has in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. The last part of the above verse confirms that the food laws of the Old Testament were still taught in synagogues for the profit of the heathen which were converted (Lev. 1-47). Leviticus 11:2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts 58
which you shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. These food laws were never eliminated or changed, contrary to the false doctrines of the world. Among others, Paul clearly mentions the fast on the annual Day of Atonement from the calendar as a time less recommended for sea travel (Acts 27:9). Besides, the use of the word shadow in this verse confirms the concrete and current spiritual reality of these observances. The light of Father Creator, creates a silouette, a definitive outline of the current observances. The dark silouette is perceptible with difficulty by the foreign observers. In contrast, the elect see better these realities in the light of Father Creator. These observances will become during the millennium, the practice of every day for all (see 9.1.3 The Light).
2.6.12 Matthew 17:3 These following verses describe the transfiguration of Yahushua. Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and said to Yahushua, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Yahushua came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Yahushua only.
Mark 9:2 And after six days Yahushua takes with him Peter, and James, and John, and leads them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. 3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 4 And there appeared to them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Yahushua. 5 And Peter answered and said to Yahushua, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 6 For he knew not what to say; for they were sore afraid. 7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Yahushua only with themselves.
Luke 9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. 30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31 Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. 34 While he thus spoke, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
These verses describe a miraculous event which seem to stand out of all the known miracles which Yahushua performed. When we examine this event and the individuals involved, we may ask some specific questions : 1) why was Yahushua transfigured in this way ? 2) did it happen for Yahushua or the apostles' benefit or for all ? 3) was this event to strengthten Yahushua ? 4) was this event destined to the 3 apostles to strengthten their faith ? 5) was this event real or only a vision seen by the apostles ? 6) if this event was real, why would Moses and Elias be resurrected from death ? 7) if this event was real, would these 2 men return to sleep until the 1st resurrection ? 8) how did Peter know that these 2 men were Moses and Elias since he never saw them before ? 9) if Matthew wrote this story who told that these 2 men were Moses and Elias ?
This event or vision ends with a real participation of Father YHVH who speaks to confirm the state fo His son Yahushua to the apostles. Matthew 17:5 While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him. This is one among very few times when the Father YHVH is heard directly from heaven. These words spoken by Father YHVH were certainly addressed to the apostles who are told to hear the son and most certainly to obey him. Apparently, only the elect have heard the 60
voice of Father YHVH whereas the others have not (Pharisees). John 5:37 And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. In this verse, Yahushua was talking to the Pharisees. He told them that there was only One who witnesses in his favor : the Father. One such witnessing is reported in Matthew 17:5 above. The Father YHVH did also witness at Yahushua's baptism. Matthew 3:16 And Yahushua, out of the water: and, lo, the the Spirit of Creator Father him: 17 And lo a voice from whom I am well pleased.
when he was baptized, went up straightway heavens were opened unto him, and he saw descending like a dove, and lighting upon heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in
Apparently, these 2 events (transfiguration and baptism) were the only times when the Father's voice was heard by the elect.
2.6.13 1Samuel 20:27-34 1Samuel 20:27 But on the second (day), the morrow after the new moon [02320 chodesh et septante 3376 μην], David’s place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has not the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?" .... 34 34 And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, … First, let us note that the word day is absent in the original Hebrew text and that the translators added this word in the translation. In these 2 verses, several French versions translate by ' second day of the new moon '. This translation seems to support an addition of the modern Judaism which asks to observe the day of the new astronomical moon during 2 days. Indeed, the Jews and several messianic sects observe the day of the new astronomical moon while the true calendar commands no such observance. The term new moon in the modern biblical translations, contrary to its current definition, designates the intercalary (additional) day which is the head of a group of three consecutive months (division) in the true calendar, as revealed in the Book of Enoch (see 9.3.2 The Intercalary Day). In contrast to French versions, several English versions translate by second day of the month. This verse in the Septuagint contains the word month (3376 month ) but not day nor neomenia (3561) which means month, head and intercalary (additional) day. Each intercalary (additional) day (translated as new moon) is an annual holy day which, as every annual holy day, except the day of Atonement, was/is the opportunity of a holy convocation and a meal. The verses above mention the participation in meals with the king
for two consecutive days which thus turn out to be two annual consecutive holy days. This configuration, in the real calendar, occurs every year at the beginning of the third partition. It happens to be the (additional) intercalary day 3 called new moon and the 1 st day of the 7th month called in The Day of Trumpets. In 2014, these 2 consecutive holy days occur on September 15 th and 16th in the Gregorian calendar. The only possible logical and coherent reading of the above verses with the true calendar is from then on: 1Samuel 20:27 [The day after the new moon ((additional) intercalary day), the second annual feast day at the head / beginning of the month [1st day of the 7th month, Day of Trumpets], David's place was still empty. And Saül said to Jonathan, his son: why did not the son of Isaï appear at the meal either yesterday or today? 34 He (Jonathan) got up from the table in a burning anger, and did not participate in the meal the day after the new moon [intercalary day];]
2.6.14 1Kings 8:25 Father Creator apparently made a promise to David that his throne would never be lacking a successor. 1 Kings 8:25 Therefore now, LORD [YHVH] Father Creatorf Israel, keep with your servant David my father that you promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that your children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as you have walked before me. 2 Chronicles 6:16 Now therefore, O LORD [YHVH] Father Creatorf Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; yet so that your children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you have walked before me. 1 Kings 2:4 That YHVH may continue his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If your children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you (said he) a man on the throne of Israel. What is the meaning of these verses? What is this promise made for David? Otherwise, what condition limited this promise? Verses above stipulate clearly a condition, namely if the sons of David walk(work) according to father's law Creator. Apparently, no man was able to walk(work) perfectly in these laws except only Yahushua. At first, we could understand that in the direct descent of David, that is his sons and 62
grandsons, there would be always a descendant on the throne of Israel. At first, the meaning of Israel in this verse is certainly applicable to all of the 12 Jacob's tribes as a unity and not to a part only of the 12 tribes. The 12 tribes were divided after David's death into 2 different houses: the house of Juda house and the house of Israel (see 13.2 Israel and 13.3 Huse of Juda). Each house had its separate king. In other words, David's throne was divided into 2 thrones. The house of Israel which includes 10 lost tribes was scattered in all the nations, so that this group does not form any more a recognizable group nor a known throne. Does the house of Juda still exist? Where would David's throne be today if it still exists? Some people assert that the throne of England would be David's throne. At present, a queen is sitting on this throne. Never in all the biblical history, a woman was never named queen on Israel except as wife of the king. This concept was excluded by the biblical laws. A woman would not thus be considered as descendant of David because she cannot have David's DNA code nor can she pass it on to her children. Indeed, the posterity is from father to son only and from mother to daughter only and in a completely separate DNA code (see 5.6.5 Genetic Laws). For example, is the biologic father of the current English queen qualified as descendant of David? The son of the current queen who will possibly be crowned, has for biologic father prince Philippe and not the biologic father of the queen. Is prince Philippe descending from David also? Besides the throne of England, is there another throne on the planet which is David's and which is unknown of the world ? We find a possible solution in the following verses. Jeremiah 33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name with which she shall be called, YHVH our righteousness. 17 For thus said YHVH; David shall never want a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. In conclusion, these verses above confirm that this promise was conditionally made until the return of Yahushua on earth. It is from David's resurrection that this promise will be carried out completely and continually. The successors of David will also be resurrected and the levites will also be resurrected, so that the fulfillment of Jeremiah's verses concerns the time of the millenial reign of Yahushua.

2.6.15 Psalm 104:19 Psalms 104:19 He appointed [06213] (8804) the moon [03394] for seasons [04150 mo'ed]: the sun [08121] knoweth [03045] (8804) his going down [03996] (AV) This verse is used by the followers of the lunar conjunction calendar as irrefutable proof of the moon's function in Father Creator's calendar. However, as it will be shown, the proof is not irrefutable at all and worst, the translations will be shown to be very doubtful. In this verse, the Hebrew word mo'ed 04150 was also translated in other diverse manners among the available English biblical versions as follows: - for seasons - to mark the seasons - for a sign of the division of the year - to mark the festivals - to mark time - to mark the months - for time - for times and seasons Obviously, the translators did not, even in given same version, translate uniformly this word 04150 mo'ed when we examine the other words translated from this word mo'ed in the AV version, for example. By using an electronic concordance in the AV version, 213 occurrences of the word 04150 mo'ed were found in all the Old Testament. Here are the numbers of times for every expression or word translated from mo'ed in the AV version. - 136: tabernacle of congregation - 14: tent of the congregation - 1: time appointed - 10 : appointed time - 13: season(s) - 6: feast(s) - 4: set feast(s) - 1: solemnity - 10: solemn feast(s) - 2: time At first examination, it stands out as very strange that the same word 04150 mo'ed was translated 136 times as tabernacle of the congregation, 14 times as tent of 64
congregation and some 68 times as other expressions and words which are totally from another category (time, feast, season, etc.)! With such a dichotomy, cannot we see then clearly that the translators have translated this word mo'ed in a doubtful way? Why did the translators choose to translate the word 04150 mo'ed those 68 times with expressions and words which are not justified by the clear original Hebrew words as follows? These expressions and words do not correspond to the appropriate and exact Hebrew words as follows. feast(s): this word was translated 51 times from the Hebrew word 02282 chag time(s): this word was 227 times translated from the word 06256 eth yet this word 06256 was translated into season(s) 17 times and the rest into diverse other words Also, when we examine the original Hebrew words, we find that the translators have stretched the meaning of the word 06213 asah by the word appointed. Why? This word 06213 was translated 427 times as made. Thus, the word appointed appears to be biased in a preconceived idea of the calendar. This is a difficult thesis to prove but an experienced Bible student would admit that the translations are not uniform from one Bible version to another nor within a same version. There is no respecting of the uniformity in translating the Hebrew words. Why do we have one single Hebrew word being translated into many different English words from completely different categories? We could understand a small variation in the original Hebrew words based on the varying pointings. Unfortunately, these pointings are missing in our Bible ressources. Thus, today, even the honest Hebrew experts are not able to discipher the subtlety from those pointings. Why not translate only the Hebrew words present uniformly? We could read the verse only with the original words, without adding words to change the meaning or give it a wished or biased meaning. If we respected the meaning concerning the tent of the congregation of the word 04150 mo'ed, would we arrive at another totally different translation? We may wonder what relationship would the moon have with the tent of the congregation? For example, the tent covered and protected its contents from the radiant heat of the sun. In correlation with the mention of the sun which goes down at the end of the verse, is the moon mentioned in a complementary or similar function or opposite to the sun? By translating below only the original words present, without adding, this verse does not give at all to the moon a function in the calendar or to mark the time in YHVH's calendar. Psalms 104:19 He made [06213 [ 8804 ]] the moon [ 03394 ] at the appointed time) [04150 mo'ed]; the sun [ 08121 ] knows [03045 [ 08804 ]] its going down [03996]. ( Free translation) Also, in context, the preceding verses enumerate the works of Father Creator in a general way. The following verse 20 which describes the moon appearing with the darkness, seems to be a continuation of verse 19 where the moon rises and the sun goes down. The verse 19 could simply describe the phenomenon of the moon which rises at the same time as the sun goes down. This phenomenon occurs at the full moon. Psalms 104:19 He made [06213 [ 8804 ]] the moon [ 03394 ] rise at the
appointed time [04150 mo'ed]; the sun [ 08121 ] knows [03045 [ 08804 ]] to go down [03996]. ( Free translation) This verse 19 remains difficult because some words were added or changed in its current translation to change the meaning it. This imperfect translation has had its effect to deceive the readers to believe that the lunar conjunction determined the months of the calendar. We must be aware of a plot by the Pharisees who has changed all the laws of Father Creator with their human traditions. It would be necessary to realize that the Pharisees were corrupted to the point that it was completely rejected by Messiah Yahushua. The modern Pharisees are still caught in its lunar calendar and are still against Messiah and the true calendar. We must deal with other difficult verses which some use to support the lunar calendar such as the following. Genesis 1:14 And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons [04150 mo'ed], and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And Elohim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And Elohim set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, The above verses can also be interpreted to give the moon a usefulness in the calendar. Yet, the clear statement is to give light and to separate light from darkness. Again, it is difficult, from these verses alone, to clearly determine the exact functions of all the lights in the firmament including the stars. The word seasons above could certainly be translated as appointed times. Besides, when the earthly cycle was of 364 days before the flood, the lunar cycle may have had a certain cyclic harmony with the 364 day annual cycle. According to certain calculations, the moon could have had a certain utility at that time, not to establish the month in the calendar as such, but rather to indicate the occurrence of certain large cycles such as the jubilee every 49 years. In Father Creator's calendar, the months have 30 days while the lunar cycle is 29,53 days. Today, considering the current cycle of 365,242 days, the moon has no apparent usefulness as a point of reference in Father Creator's calendar. Father Creator's annual calendar simply begins on a day or two after the day of local March equinox in Jerusalem, without any respect in the position of the moon (see 9. YHVH's Calendar).

2.6.16 Matthew 24:41 This verse, just like Luke 17:35, mentions two women working on the grindstone among which the one is raptured on the day of the advent of Yahushua on the clouds. Such as shown in the Bible and explained in this work, this rapture concerns the 144000 living elect (see 11.4.8 The 144000 on the Clouds). By examining the original Greek words in this verse, we discover that the word woman was added by the translators in Matthew just like in Mark. Why? Apparently, historically, women did this work. However, in a process of honest translation, no word should be added to the original text, otherwise, never without warning the readers. In this case, the incorrect translation of these verses would induce the reader and the biblical student to believe incorrectly that women would undoubtedly be aong the 144000 elect raptured at the advent of Yahushua on the clouds. If we cannot assert that there will be any women iamong the 144000 elect, we cannot anymore assert that there will be undoubtedly.
2.6.17 Mark 14:12 Mark 14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? The following is the interlinear Greek-English text from katabiblon site. Mark 14:12 Καὶ AND τῇ THE πρώτῃ FIRST ἡμέρᾳ DAY τῶν THE ἀζύμων UNLEAVENED ([ADJ] GEN) , ὅτε WHEN τὸ THE (NOM|ACC) Πάσχα PASSOVER (INDECL) ἔθυον I-WAS-SACRIFICE-ING, THEY-WERE-SACRIFICE-ING , λέγουσιν THEY-ARE-SAY/TELL-ING, WHILE SAY/TELL-ING αὐτῷ HIM/IT/SAME οἱ THE (NOM)μαθηταὶ DISCIPLES (NOM|VOC); HE/SHE/IT-SHOULD-BE-LEARN-ED αὐτοῦ HIM/IT/SAME , Ποῦ WHERE θέλεις YOU(SG)-ARE-WANT-ING ἀπελθόντες UPON DEPART-ING (NOM|VOC) ἑτοιμάσωμεν WE-SHOULD-READY ἵνα SO THAT / IN ORDER TO /BECAUSE φάγῃς YOU(SG)-SHOULD-EAT τὸ THE (NOM|ACC) Πάσχα PASSOVER (INDECL) ; When we know the true sequence of the feast days, we can see how the translators have incorrectly translated the above verse. Otherwise, we would conclude that the Greek text itself has been corrupted. The Passover lamb was to be killed in the afternoon of the 14th day (see 10.3.1.1 Diagram). The 7 days of unleavened bread begin on the 15 th day. The above verse is incorrectly translated. It should read instead before the day of unleavened bread. Most probably, this event occured on the 13 th day when they prepared for the new Passover ceremony which took place in the night, at the beginning of the 14th day when Yahushua was betrayed. We can see this better in the following verse. 1 Corinthians 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
2.6.18 Exodus 40:2 Exodus 40:2 On the first day of the first month shall you set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. This verse is universally translated in the same way by almost all the French and English modern translations. The literal meaning of these translations seems clear and irrefutable: the tent had to be set up on the 1st day of the 1st month. However, by examining the 68
Septuagint version and some rare translations, we can discover a translation error which hides an important element of the true calendar (see 9.0 YHVH's Calendar). Let us note that the Greek Septuagint version of the Old Testament is considered as being more faithful than all other ancient manuscripts, sources of the other modern translations. Indeed, the Septuagint precedes those by several centuries and was quoted by the first disciples in the new Testament (see 2.2.3.0 Sources and 2.5 The Septuagint). Here is the translation by Brenton of the Greek Septuagint. Exodus 40:2 On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of witness,(LXXE) Here is the Greek Septuagint text. Exodus 40:2 ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου νουμηνίᾳ στήσεις τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου Here is the Greek Septuagint interlinear text with the Greek words and the corresponding English translation from the internet ( see katabiblon.com). Exodus 40:2 ἐν IN/WITH/BY ἡμέρᾳ DAY μιᾷ ONE τοῦ THE μηνὸς MONTH τοῦ THE πρώτου FIRST νουμηνίᾳ NEW MOON στήσεις YOU(SG)-WILL-CAUSE-TOSTAND τὴν THE σκηνὴν TENT τοῦ THE μαρτυρίου TESTIMONY Without knowing, the world and the scholars have been deceived by the current translation of this verse with several levels of errors which hide the true meaning of the original text. 1) The Greek Septuagint reveals the presence in this verse of the Greek word neomenia which was completely ignored in the modern translations. Contrary to its actual modern definition, this word means etymologically new month and not new moon. 2) The Greek Septuagint reveals that an original word chodesh in Hebrew was removed from the original Hebrew words. Indeed, the word chodesh should appear twice in this verse but we only find it once. 3) Like the Brenton version above, this word was translated by new moon by a small number, in spite of the etymological meaning. 4) In all the translations, this day of new moon is confused with the 1st day of the 1st month. However, according to a recent revelation from the Book of Enoch, the day called new moon and the 1st day of the 1st month are 2 adjoining different days. According to the sequence of the calendar revealed by Enoch, the day called new moon is the day which always precedes the 1st day of the 1st month (see 9.3.2 Intercalary day). 5) According to the Books of Enoch and Jubilees, the term new moon does not exclusively designate the lunar conjunction but also 4 intercalary days placed at the head of months in the annual cycle of the calendar. In the Bible, according to the context, this term new moon designates rather these 4 intercalary days and not the lunar conjunction.
6) Like Brenton, several people confuse the month with the moon because of this psychological confinement imposed by the Judaic lunar calendar. At this stage of the examination, in spite of the lack of knowledge in Greek and in Hebrew, it is more and more obvious that the modern translations are incorrect and mislead the readers, either by ignoring or by omitting this word neomenia completely, either by adding a term out of context to support a false concept, such as the lunar month according to its conjunction. Then, what is the original true meaning of this verse? When did the tent of testimony have to be set up? On the day of the new moon or the 1st day of the 1st month? It had to be one or the other because they are 2 different adjoining days. Verse 15 of the Septuagint translated by Brenton seems to answer this question. Exodus 40:17 And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set up. In this verse above, there is no more confusion with the 1st day of the 1st month as in the verse 2. There is a problematic use of the preposition in which could make believe that the day of the new moon (intercalary day) is included in the 1st month but this problem must be overcome by the knowledge of the true calendar. In this case, the meaning of verse 15 is clearer, namely, that the tent was set up on the intercalary day called new moon and not on the 1st day of the 1st month. The expression the first day of the first month is thus incorrect and must be corrected to reflect the correct meaning of the text. This may also raise a serious doubt in other verses where the expression is used. As a temporary corrected translation, verse 2 could be better translated as follows. Exodus 40:2 In the first month, on the day of the new moon [head of month, intercalary day], you will set up the tent of meeting. The great majority of the scholars will naturally and automatically refuse to change their actual interpretation because the concept of lunar conjunction is firmly anchored in their spirit. Nevertheless, it is demonstrated in this work that this verse hides an error of translation which is part of a general movement to hide the true calendar.
2.6.19 Exodus 40:17 Exodus 40:17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up. This verse is universally translated in the same way by almost all the French and English modern translations. The literal meaning of these translations seems clear and irrefutable: the tent was set up on the 1st day of the 1st month. However, by examining the Septuagint version and some rare translations, we can discover a translation error which hides an 70
important element of the true calendar (see 9.0 YHVH's Calendar). Let us note that the Greek Septuagint version of the Old Testament is considered as being more faithful than all other ancient manuscripts, sources of the other modern translations. Indeed, the Septuagint precedes those by several centuries and was quoted by the first disciples in the new Testament (see 2.2.3.0 Sources and 2.5 The Septuagint). Here is the translation by Brenton of the Greek Septuagint. Exodus 40 :17 And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set up. Here is the Greek Septuagint text of this verse. Exodus 40:17 και εγενετο εν τω μηνι τω πρωτω τω δευτερω ετει εκπορευομενων αυτων εξ αιγυπτου νουμηνια εσταθη η σκηνη (Greek Septuagint) Here is the Greek Septuagint interlinear text with the Greek words and the corresponding English translation from the internet ( see katabiblon.com). Exodus 40:17 καὶ AND ἐγένετο HE/SHE/IT-WAS-BECOME/HAPPEN-ED ἐν IN/WITH/BY τῷ THE μηνὶ ??? (VOC); MONTH τῷ THE πρώτῳ FIRST τῷ THE δευτέρῳ SECOND ἔτει YEAR ἐκπορευομένων WHILE BEING-GO-ED-OUT αὐτῶν THEM/SAME ἐξ OUT OF (+GEN) Αἰγύπτου EGYPT νουμηνίᾳ NEW MOON ἐστάθη HE/SHE/IT-WAS-CAUSE-ED-TO-STAND ἡ THE (NOM) σκηνή TENTS (NOM|ACC|VOC); TENT (NOM|VOC) Without knowing the world and the scholars, the translation universally accepted by this verse includes several levels of errors which hide the real sense(direction) of the original text. 1) The Septuagint reveals the presence in this verse of the Greek word neomenia which was completely ignored in the modern translations. 2) Like the version from Brenton above, this word was translated by new moon by a small number in spite of the etymological meaning of new month. 3) In all the modern translations, this day of the new moon or new month is confused with the 1st day of the 1st month. In the false lunar Judaic calendar, the day of the new moon corresponds in the 1st day of the 1st month. However, according to a recent revelation of the Book of Enoch, the day called new moon is different from the 1 st day of the 1st month which are 2 adjoining different days. According to the sequence of the calendar revealed by Enoch, the so-called day of new moon is the day which always precedes the 1 st day of the 1st month (see 9.3.2 Intercalary day). 4) According to the Books of Enoch and Jubilees, the term new moon does not exclusively
designate the lunar conjunction but also 4 intercalary days placed at the head of months in the annual cycle of the calendar. In the Bible, according to the context, this term new moon designates more often these 4 intercalary days and not the lunar conjunction. 5) Like Brenton, several people confuse the month with the moon because of this psychological confinement imposed by the Judaic lunar calendar. At this stage of the examination, in spite of the lack of knowledge in Greek and in Hebrew, it is more and more obvious that the modern translations are incorrect and mislead the reader, either by ignoring or by omitting this word neomenia completely, either by adding a term out of context to support a false concept, such as the lunar conjunction. Then, what is the original true meaning of this verse? When must the tent of testimony be set up? By including the correct word neomenia, the meaning becomes clear that the tent was set up on the day of the new moon [intercalary day] and not on the 1st day of the 1st month. In this case, the meaning of verse 15 is clearer, that is, the tent was set up on the day of the new moon and not on the 1st day of the 1st month. The expression the first day of the first month is thus incorrect and must be corrected reflect the correct meaning of the text. As a temporary corrected translation, verse 17 could be better translated as follows. Exodus 40:2 At the first month of the second year, on the day of the new moon [intercalary day], the tent was set up. The great majority of the scholars will naturally and automatically refuse to change their actual interpretation because the concept of the lunar conjunction is firmly anchored in their spirit. Nevertheless, it is demonstrated in this work that this verse hides an error of translation which is a part of a general movement to hide the true calendar (see 9.04 Its Concealment).

2.6.20 2Chronicles 29:17 2Chronicles 29:17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end. This verse contains a translation error which goes unnoticed in the eyes of the readers and the scholars. We can find this error thanks to the Greek Septuagint which is considered more faithful than the ancient manuscripts sources of the modern translations. The following translation by Brenton of the Septuagint shows the presence of the Greek word neomenia translated as new moon. This word should mean etymologically new month and not new moon. 2Chronicles 29:17 And Ezekias began on the first day, even on the new moon [neomenia] of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the {1} thirteenth day of the first month they finished the work. {1) Alex. 16th} Here below is the Greek text from the Septuagint. 2Chronicles 29:17 καὶ ἤρξαντο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πρώτῃ νουμηνίᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου ἁγνίσαι καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ τοῦ μηνὸς εἰσῆλθαν εἰς τὸν ναὸν κυρίου καὶ ἥγνισαν τὸν οἶκον κυρίου ἐν ἡμέραις ὀκτὼ καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑκκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου συνετέλεσαν According to a recent revelation from the books of Enoch and Jubilees, this term new moon also designates 4 intercalary days in 4 divisions of the year (see 9.3.2 Intercalary day). Here is the verse of the Septuagint with the words in Greek with the inserted English words from the site katabiblon.com. 2Chronicles 29:17 καὶ AND ἤρξαντο THEY-WERE-BEGIN-ED τῇ THE ἡμέρᾳ DAY τῇ THE πρώτῃ FIRST νουμηνίᾳ NEW MOON τοῦ THE μηνὸς MONTH τοῦ THE πρώτου FIRST ἁγνίσαι TO-PURIFY, BE-YOU(SG)-PURIFY-ED!, HE/SHE/ITHAPPENS-TO-PURIFY (OPT) καὶ AND τῇ THE ἡμέρᾳ DAY τῇ THE ὀγδόῃ EIGHTH τοῦ THE μηνὸς MONTH εἰσῆλθαν THEY-ENTER-ED εἰς INTO (+ACC) τὸν THE (ACC) ναὸν TEMPLE (ACC) κυρίου LORD (GEN); A LORD ([ADJ] GEN) καὶ AND ἥγνισαν THEY-PURIFY-ED τὸν THE (ACC) οἶκον HOUSE (ACC) κυρίου LORD (GEN); A LORD ([ADJ] GEN) ἐν IN/WITH/BY ἡμέραις DAYS ὀκτὼ EIGHT καὶ AND τῇ THE ἡμέρᾳ DAY τῇ THE ἑκκαιδεκάτῃ SIXTEENTH τοῦ THE μηνὸς
MONTH τοῦ THE πρώτου FIRST συνετέλεσαν THEY-COMPLETE-ED By respecting the presence of the Greek words, a corrected better translation could be as follows. 2Chronicles 27:17 and they began on the day of the neomenia [new month, intercalary day] of the first month to cleanse and the 8th day of the month, they entered the temple of the Lord and purified the Lord's house in 8 days, and on the 16th day of the first month, they finished. In spite of our ignorance of the Greek and Hebrew languages, it becomes more and more obvious that the modern translations are incorrect and mislead the readers and even the scholars to hide important elements of YHVH's true calendar (see 9.01 Diagram). So, because of Judaism's false lunar calendar, the whole world is brain washed in a psychological lock strengthened by false translations. The expression translated as the 1st day of the 1st month should be rejected in most cases for the benefit of day translated as new moon in the Septuagint but which designates rather a head of month or an intercalary day (see 9.3.2 Intercalary day).
2.7 Scripture Quotations The biblical quotations contained in this work come from known versions such as the NKJV New King James Version or the AV Authorized Version or ESV English Standard Version or others. These translations contain words and titles such as god and lord considered to be incorrect by the present author. To help the reader to better understand these verses, the author has inserted words such as names and titles to designate more specifically the entity in question. For example, the word god is accompanied with a title or with a name to identify the subject as being the Father Creator YHVH in the ' new testament ' or the angel of YHVH in the old testament. The human translations use titles and names which may confuse the readers (see 7.1 His Name).
2.8 Coherence and Logic The Bible reveals concepts and doctrines which have to be logically and truely coherent. The fundamental and irrefutable hypothesis is that our Father Creator is perfectly coherent as well as His Word. Any incoherence and any illogical doctrines and concepts established by men result from wrong translations and\or from incorrect human interpretations. We must make an effort through logical analysis to examine in details these doctrines and concepts to confirm them or to reject them. Such an analysis is actually made in this work, free from any negative human pressure. The result of such an exercise is the discovery of certain concepts and doctrines which are outside of the traditional teachings of the religious associations. Such an exercise consists in building a logical sequence of deductions and conclusions ensuing from true and correct hypotheses. A single false hypothesis may seriously affect the sequence of such an exercise, wherefore is the importance to validate every concept 74
and every doctrine by the logic and the coherence in the Bible. For example, the concept of the trinity of 3 persons in 1 person is an obvious impossible and illogical concept. The definition of the word person recognized and used in all the Bible and used in all human thinking and communications, does not allow such a concept. In this particular case however, we can recognize other coherent and logical concepts and doctrines which can explain the mystery of the reproduction of the Father Creator not only in His only son Yahushua but also in His other children who will be adopted according to His perfect plan (see 7.14 His Reproduction and 7.15 His Ultimate Goal).
2.9 Electronic Bibles There are electronic documents and software for computers which offer several versions of the Bible in several languages. These electronic documents and software are helpful to perform certain searches for words and to do bible studies thanks to the speed of computers. There are several such free software. Some are free and others are not. One of the free software available on the internet in French and in English is called ONLINE BIBLE. Biblical versions with the integrated original words (with numbers from Strong dictionnary) are available and thus allow to verify the original words in the old testament and the new testament (see the site http://www.onlinebible.net/ or the site http://www.onlinebible.org/). Several versions among which the NKJV and the AV and Septuagint are available in Acrobat Reader format on the Skydrive storage site (see 13. Download).
2.10 Concordance A scholar named James Strong ( 1822-1894 ) has carried out an important work to number each of the original words found in the English version called AV Authorized Version. Each numbered English word is connected to its corresponding original word (Hebrew or Greek) in the ancient manuscripts of the Bible. This work thus allows to search for words in the biblical texts either using the original word with its number, or using the translated word, to find all the occurrences of these words in all the Bible. It is then possible to do effective biblical studies. The computerized tools offer a very advantageous speed for biblical studies. Because of the speed of the computer, the software version of such a concordance is certainly much more effective than the paper version. This man also added the definitions of these Hebrew and\or Greek words. It is then possible to study the translations by verifying the original words found in the Hebrew or Greek dictionaries. However, it is necessary to note that this man is not entirely correct in all his definitions, so that it is necessary to discern the information in the light of the Holy Spirit.
There are the other works which had the same objective but with a different insight. The same discernment is required in all cases.
2.11 Interlinear Bible This type of biblical version shows on 2 parallel lines every word translated with the original corresponding word and its Strong number. Certain comparisons allow to verify the existence of the original words behind the translations. For example, the absence of an original word could give an indication of the validity of the translated text. Obviously, a minimal knowledge of the original language would be useful for a study of the texts and their translation but the absence of a word can be determined without a good knowledge of the language.
2.12 Prophecies The prophecies are understood as being predictions of future events. We find in the Bible numerous prophecies which have already happened and several others which did not arrive yet. It is obviously necessary to know that the only True Creator Father YHVH lives in eternity and lives outside of time where we live, a concept which we cannot obviously understand. That is why, the only True Creator Father YHVH knows all the future before it arrives. He is the only one who knows everything but He reveals certain prophecies to His servants, to angels and\or to men according to His plan. It is these prophecies which we find in the Bible. Among others, the book of Revelation gives us numerous prophecies concerning the events of the last days. We actually live in these last days (see 7.4 The End of This Age). A large part of the world recognizes that the current events are rather fantastic, just to mention, the planetary warming, earthquakes, economic crisis, wars, diseases, etc. We will list some important prophecies with regard to the end of this era or age and the return of Yahushua (see 7.3.4.7 The Advent of Yahushua on the Clouds). Such as mentioned in the Plan of Salvation / Creation, all humanity had to go through the difficult lesson to know evil and taste its fruits, suffering and death. As a good father, our Father Creator YHVH loves us and He will intervene just in time so that humanity indeed learns its lesson without being completely exterminated. We could compare the situation to a son who rebelled against his father to do his own will and please himself in an irresponsible way. The father looks at his son from a distance and waits until time the son is about to die and then he realizes finally the stupidity of his rebellion and returns to his father. The father will be happy then to receive his son and to restore him to his place which was for a long time reserved for him. It is the concept of the prodigal son. In fact, we have arrived at one of the last stages of this plan. There is an event which begins an essential countdown which leads to the advent of Yahushua to this Earth. This countdown begins with the preaching of the 2 witnesses of Father YHVH mentioned in 76
Revelation (see 7.3.4.3 The 2 Witnesses). Revelation 11:3 "And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." These 2 witnesses will have great powers to cause catastrophic events on the Earth to oppose and correct the evil governments of this world. These 2 men will be untouchable during all the period of their preaching. After 1260 days, they will be killed by the beast which comes from the pit. After their bodies are left 3,5 days lying in the street, in the sight of all, they will be resurrected. At first, we could have thought that this was the moment of the 1st resurrection but the chronology shows that the 1 st resurrection will take place a few days later, on the last day (see 7.3.5.1 The Last Day and 7.3.5.10 The 1st Resurrection). The prophecies are not all understood nor is it given to all to understand the Bible. It is not necessary to understand them because they are going to arrive all the same. However, we see in front of our eyes numerous fantastic events at the world level which stand out as uncommon. Some people will say that these things are normal and have already arrived in the past. These things are happening to show the decisive times in which we live. Indeed, our Creator Father YHVH wishes that we obey His Laws to reject the mark of the beast, i.e. to reject all allegiance to men who are inspired by devils to destroy the earth and its inhabitants. But the destruction will not happen thanks to our Father Creator, such as prophecied. We should find the hope in the truth of the prophecies which announce a paradise on earth ( see 11. The Millennium Paradise). Isaiah 11:6 "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. Isaiah 65: 25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, The lion shall eat straw like the ox, And dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain," Says YHVH. These prophecies are unreal for many people who do not believe them. It doesn't matter much if we believe them or not. They will occur inevitably and then, it will be a fantastic paradise on the earth. The study and the revelation of the prophecies is a reserved domain to the prophets. This work is only limited to the clear promises of our Father YHVH.
2.13 Bible Study Method A method of biblical study is proposed considering the following limitations in the modern translations: 1) Certain words and expressions in the original language have no equivalence in our modern languages. 2) The translators did not have the knowledge of the Truth in its entirety and often introduced their erroneous beleifs into the translations. Thanks to previously enumerated documents and tools, it is possible to minimize the errors from the translations and interpretations by adopting a method to verify the meaning of each of the verses. A specialized software is recommended to do an effective and quick study. To evaluate the exactness and the meaning of a verse, the proposed method includes the following verifications : 1) Compare the greatest number of possible versions to see if there is a consensus, otherwise, examine the differences to explain them. This includes different languages if possible. Obviously, English and French are 2 languages which have the greatest number of biblical versions. We have to verify in every case the Septuagint version which is particularly valid as having a different source from the other modern versions. 2) By means of a software which shows the verses and words with the Strong numbers, examine the presence or the absence of each word in the verse. For example, one verse which says ' the 7th day of the month ' and in which the original word day is absent, should have been read the 7th month ' (see 2.6.1 Ezekiel 45:20). 3) By means of a biblical dictionary ( James Strong), find one or several definitions for the original word and compare it with the translated word to uncover any abnormality. 4) The meaning of each verse must be coherent with the other verses to be valid. If a verse contradicts the other verses or a clearly established doctrine by an important number of verses, its meaning must be revised because the translation is incorrect. We should never establish a concept or a doctrine from a single biblical verse especially when there is an incoherence with the other verses. 5. If possible, we can examine the internet to consult other individuals or groups to know their opinion on such a verse. Sometimes, we may obtain information or indications which can guide us to obtain the meaning of a verse.
78
It is necessary to understand that we cannot understand everything in the Bible but what can be established in terms of doctrines and concepts, must be perfectly coherent and logical (see 2.8 Coherence). For example, the laws and the natural concepts established on the earth reflect the same laws and concepts in heaven, so that there is an evident coherence in all the creation of the Father Creator YHVH. The advances in the knowledge of the genetic laws allow us to confirm the genetic reproduction of Adam and Eve by the angel of YHVH.
2.13.1 Intellectual Rigor We are called to follow the example of the Bereans. Acts 17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Like the Bereans, we must also examine the Bible to see if what we were told is true. Having no more the ancient original texts which the Bereans and apostles had in their time, we have to use a greater diligence in examining the modern translations. Furthermore, they only had the old testament writings but they had the teachings directly from Yahushua. We must use the available modern tools such as the computer concordances and all which allows us to verify the true meaning and the logic of the Bible. We face a greater challenge comparable to a detective's inquiry because the translations were incorrectly translated or manipulated by the authorities in place to promote their false beliefs. Several works exist to support this assertion. For our part, we must demonstrate a sufficient intellectual rigor to avoid the traps which we confronted in past. The world control which the great trinitarian church was able to exercise on the education systems of a part of the civilized world allowed it to impose its false doctrines to the populations from childhood. Some among us have suffered this brainwashing but if Father Creator decides so, we shall be freed through the Truth. One of the essential elements for intellectual rigor is to find and to consider all the relevant biblical verses for a doctrine or a biblical concept. Too many people establish doctrines or concepts on a small number of verses and sometimes on a single verse while several other verses are ignored when they contradict the said doctrines. It is the problem which is too often noted among the new biblical students. The false doctrine of the trinity is an example where only a few verses were used against uncountable verses which contradict it, besides ignoring the fundamental logic which establishes a person as an entity distinct from any other person. The intellectual rigor also requires that the fundamental logic is respected in all the doctrines, not only in the light of the correctly interpreted Bible but also in total coherence of the other doctrines and the already established biblical concepts. For example, if we establish the concept of Yahushua as the beginning and the first being in all the creation, all the other concepts must be coherent and connected logically. This exercise is demanding, considering a great number of biblical concepts to be considered. The concept of Yahushua as the only son is also connected with the concept of the firstborn. Our first challenge is to clearly read and understand the meaning of the texts biblical as 80
being a piece of an enormous puzzle. Our second challenge is to integrate these texts according to their true and specific meaning in the whole of the concepts without forcing texts into a meaning which is not coherent with the rest. For example, if we establish a concept where nobody has gone up to heaven except Yahushua who came down from heaven, it results from it that the dead do not go up to heaven, whether they be saints or not, which is logical and coherent with the concept of the resurrection. Salvation is not reserved for the intellectuals only or for anyone else only but for those whom the Father Creator has predestined. However, if we want to understand and then to express clearly our convictions based on the essential doctrines, we will have to do it with an intellectual rigor which the Bereans certainly used. In conclusion, we must be capable of eliminating all the contradictions which appeared from non-biblical doctrines. The creation of Father Creator is a set of coherent systems like His Word is coherent. Our efforts must be applied to confirm this complete and perfect coherence in the Truth. If there are mysteries and secrets in the creation of Father Creator, there are no contradictions nor any incoherence. We are called to know this Truth to be freed from false doctrines, incoherence and human error or lies.

3. YHVH's Perfect Way The Way practised and taught by Yahushua, the messiah, called also Jesus the Christ (Yahushua the anointed), represents Father YHVH's perfect way that every man should follow (see 3.4 Father YHVH's Will). This way is called the faith of Yahushua who is our perfect example of obedience to his / our Father Creator YHVH (see 6.4 Yahushua). As a matter of fact, the elect desire to follow and to imitate Yahushua, their perfect master by also obeying to his / our Father Creator and to His laws (see 8. YHVH's Laws). These laws include the doctrines which are essential and compulsory for the elect in the present age (see 3.1 The Essential Doctrines). Salvation is given to us through the grace in Yahushua, the Holy Spirit and our obedience although imperfect. Indeed, having received the promise of salvation and the deposit of the Holy Spirit, the elect desire above everything else to obey to the Father Creator and His perfect laws. The elect, therefore, reject unjust human laws and traditions.
The laws of the Father Creator are not abolished. They have always been observed by faithful men at all in times. The true Faith of Yahushua and of the elect, is to obey the commands, rules and judgments of the Father Creator according to the New Covenant (see 3.2 The New Covenant). In the New Covenant, the modifications in the laws are well explained and concern the following (see 8.11 Changes to the Law?). 1) the animal sacrifices and its temple have ceased during this age 2) the priesthood which is now according to the order of Melchisedek and not levitical. This presentation of the perfect way is only an introduction to the Faith of Yahushua because all the details of this Faith or way of life are presented all through the Bible, the ancient books and in the different sections of this work. However, it is the responsibility of each person to read, to study and to apply the laws of the Father Creator enumerated in the Bible. The messiah Yahushua is the only perfect example to imitate. 1John 1:3 that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ [Yahushua]. ’ Galatians 1:11 For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man. 12 For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ [Yahushua]. Hebrew 13:8 Jesus Christ [Yahushua] is the same yesterday and to82
day, yea and for ever. Consequently, it is the same Faith which is required today for the elect and for all according to his example of perfect obedience. This faith includes the following concepts without excluding the others mentioned in the Bible and the ancient books and summarized in the other sections of this work. 1. Recognize and worship exclusively the Father YHVH as the Almighty Omniscient Creator of heaven, earth, all the universe and all that it contains, including the living beings, men and angels (see 7. The Father Creator YHVH). The 1st great commandment attributes to the Father Creator the exclusivity of our worship and of our allegiance. Matthew 22:37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] your God [El Father Creator] with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 2. Believe in His son Yahushua who is the Word, the messiah and the atoning lamb and accept the grace of the complete forgiveness through his perfect sacrifice and accept him as the king soon to come to rule on all creation under Father YHVH (see 6.1 The Word, 6.2 Angel of YHVH and 6.4 Yahushua). 3. Love our fellow man as ourself (see 7.10 His Laws - The 2nd great Command). Matthew 22:39 And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 4. Observe the laws of the Father Creator YHVH (without the animal sacrifices) and the Essential Doctrines according to the perfect example of Yahushua and to their applications confirmed in the New Testament (see 3.1 The Essential Doctrines). 5. Observe the Sabbath of the 7th day, the solemn days and the holy days of the Father Creator YHVH according to the biblical prescriptions of the sacred calendar of the Father Creator YHVH (see 9. YHVH's Calendar and 10. YHVH's Solemnities). 6. Observe the food laws decreed in the Bible (see 8.4 The Food Laws). In particular, we must distinguish between the clean animals allowed as food and the unclean animals to be banned (see Leviticus 11:1-31, 46-47 and Acts 15:20). 7. Believe in the perfect plan of the Father Creator YHVH who has prepared the salvation of all His children and His creation in perfection and immortality (see 11. YHVH's Plan in 7 Solemnities). More details concerning the Faith of Yahushua are given in other sections of this work. Also, the true Faith allows us to believe that our Supreme Father Creator YHVH 83
possesses all necessary wisdom, all power and all mercy to succeed in His plan of Salvation / creation in spite of all opposition. In His wisdom, He allowed all humanity to taste the fruits of disobedience in this short life which leads to suffering and death. According to His wisdom and to His perfect plan, in the end, all will come to the conclusion and to the truth that obedience to our Father Creator YHVH leads to happiness and to all good things, the essential condition to immortality. Thus, at the end of the plan, in total freedom of choice, all should choose obedience in His perfect laws and reject the rebellion which leads to the sufferings and to death (see 11.03.5 The great Lesson).
3.1 The Essential Doctrines The essential doctrines are enumerated and explained in the Bible under the form of commandments, rules and judgments. In particular, the ultimate gift of immortality is conditional to the essential doctrines of faith. The Bible enumerates these doctrines as being compulsory to be a part of the chosen people of Father YHVH and to receive immortality. Without excluding the other doctrines enumerated elsewhere, we find the following ones: 1) Know the only True Creator Father YHVH and His son Yahushua, his first created son as angel (see 7. Father Creator YHVH, 6.1 The Word, 6.2 The Angel YHVH). John 17:3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true Creator Father, and Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] whom You have sent. 1John 2:25 And this is the promise that He has promised us—— eternal life. 2) Love, worship the only True Creator Father YHVH and love our fellow man (see 7.13 Worship). Luke 10:25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 26 He said to him, "What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?" 27 So he answered and said," ‘You shall love the LORD [Father Creator] your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’" 28 And He said to him, "You have answered rightly; do this and you will live." 3) Keep the Passover according to YHVH's calendar and the prescriptions of the New Covenant including the foot washing (see 10.3.2 In the New Covenant). 84
Matthew 26:19 And the disciples did as Yahushua had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. Luke 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: John 13:7 Yahushua answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this." 8 Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Yahushua answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." 4) Keep the Day of Atonement according to YHVH's calendar (see 10.8 The Day of Atonement) Leviticus 23:27 "Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to YHVH. 28 "And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before YHVH your El. 29 "For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. 30 "And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 5) Keep the commandments including the Sabbath and YHVH's annual solemnities (voir 8. The Laws of YHVH and 10. The Solemnities of YHVH Matthew 19:17 So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments." Deuteronomy 8:1 "Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which YHVH swore to your fathers. 6) Believe that Yahushua is the messiah, the son of the Creator YHVH and believe in him (see 6.4 Yahushua) John 20:31 but these are written that you may believe that Yahushua is the Christ, the Son of Creator Father, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 3:14 "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 "that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 "For Creator Father so loved the world that He gave His only begotten 85
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Creator Father abides on him." 1John 5:11 And this is the testimony: that Creator Father has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of Creator Father does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of Creator Father, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of Creator Father. Matthew 19:29 "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 7) Be circumcised in the heart, i.e. possess the Holy Spirit through baptism (see 11.2.2 Baptism and 7.14 His Reproduction) Genesis 17:14 "And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant." Deuteronomy 10:16 "Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer.
Deuteronomy 30:6 "And YHVH, your God [ Ulhim ] will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love YHVH, your God [ Ulhim ] with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. Romans 2:29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from Creator Father. Ezekiel 44:9 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD [YHVH Ulhim]: "No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My 86
sanctuary, including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel.

3.2 The New Covenant The theme of the new covenant constitutes the basis of the plan of salvation. What is written in the law of Moses, in the prophets and the psalms (Luke 24:44), and finally, in all the Bible, must now be read again in the light of this new covenant, with a renewed spirit. As for the rest of the Bible, we see a lot of confusion in the world concerning this new covenant, and even among the socalled Christian churches. Some so-called Christians confuse the covenant and the law. Some people assert that the law is old and has become obsolete, and this has required its replacement by a new law different from Father YHVH's law. Contrary to the false teachings, even so-called Christian, the law is always in effect (see 8. The Laws of YHVH). Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Yahushua has accomplished the law as to be himself acceptable as the perfect lamb for the atoning sacrifice. His sacrifice was not to exempt us from obeying the Father Creator and His perfect laws. His sacrifice does not constitute for us a permission to sin by voluntarily breaking Father YHVH's laws without consequences. We are saved through this sacrifice because we have sinned and have deserved eternal death. Salvation comes by grace and not only by the obedience because Yahushua is the only man who has perfectly accomplished the law. So, through his sacrifice, Yahushua has only saved us from the consequence of an imperfect obedience of the law and thus we will receive salvation at the resurrection or at the change (see 5.16 Born again). The houses of Israel and Juda did not persevere in the observance of the old physical covenant; they violated it. As a replacement, a new covenant based on the same laws was established with the house of Israel. The law was never abolished and and will never be. Hebrew 8:13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. However, if we read attentively the prophecies, we see that the new covenant does not change the basis of the laws but rather the concept and the place where the laws were written. Originally, we know that the laws were written on tables of stone. Deuteronomy 4:13 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, that is, the Ten Commandments, and he wrote them on two tablets of stone. 88
It is completely illogical and inconsistent that the 10 commandments would be abolished because they are perfect. Psalm 19:7 The law of the LORD [03068 YHVH] is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD LORD [03068 YHVH] is sure, making wise the simple. The people of Israel had understood the words of the angel of YHVH and of Moses and they had undertaken to obey these commands. Deuteronomy 5:22 “These words YHVH spoke to all your assembly at the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and he added no more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me. … 27 Go near and hear all that YHVH, our El will say and speak to us all that YHVH, our El will speak to you, and we will hear and do it.’ Which aspects can we distinguish in the new covenant ? Jeremiah 31:31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares YHVH, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares YHVH. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares YHVH: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their El, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know YHVH,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares YHVH. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Verse 33 clarifies that this covenant will be established by writing Father YHVH's law in the heart of the individuals and not on tables of stone. The old covenant was based on the obedience of the laws (see 8.2 The 10 Commands or Decalogue). The new covenant is now based on the obedience in these same laws amplified spiritually Hebrew 8:8 For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares YHVH, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares YHVH. 10 For this is the covenant 89
that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares YHVH: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their El, and they shall be my people. 11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know YHVH,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. The old covenant was physically written on tables of stone whereas the new covenant is rather written spiritually. So, we shall read not only the law with our physical eyes or by appealing only to our physical memory subject to flaws. Even more, we will also be guided by the Holy Spirit which will show us the spiritual dimensions and will guide our behavior in the justice and in the kindness to others, in fact, in love. The new covenant includes the redemption through bloodshed (see 8.3.1 The Redemption). Matthew 26:26 Now as they were eating, Jesus [Yahushua] took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. The sacrifice of Yahushua is sufficient to achieve the forgiveness of sins once for all ( Heb.7:27), which the sacrifices of animals prefigured but did not achieve. The sacrifices of animals are now excluded from the new covenant (see 8.3 The Sacrificial Laws). 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ [messiah Yahushua] also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to Creator Father, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, Yahushua is the mediator of the New covenant which was validated by the pouring of his blood. In the Bible, the mediator is the person used as the intercessor, the one who allows to reconcile two parties in discord. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God [El Father YHVH], and there is one mediator between God [Father YHVH] and men, the man Christ Jesus [messiah Yahushua], Another aspect is put into question in the establishment of the new covenant with Juda's house and the house of Israel. Which covenant will be made with the other nations? We can obviously include that individuals of all the nations will be included in the 1st resurrection. 90
Revelation 7:9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, Will all the nations possibly be included but only later? Would we have another preeminence of the people chosen by Father Creator, that is the physical descent of Jacob? In particular, we find in Ezekiel 37 the resurrection of all the house of Israel and not of all the nations. Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.’ What will happen with Gog and Magog who will rebel at the end of the millennium? Could these people be excluded from this new covenant for the time of the millennium to complete the great lesson and receive the judgment of the Great Day (see 11.7 The Judgment of the Great Day)? These are thus still questions which persist without answers.
3.3 Faith According to the biblical texts, faith has 2 aspects. Firstly, the faith of Yahushua is the perfect way which includes all the laws, the rules, the solemnities (holy days and feasts), etc. which is carried out to imitate the master, Yahushua in the Perfect Way. Moreover, faith is that capacity to believe in invisible things, in promises not yet accomplished, in prophecies not yet realized, in words of our Father Creator pronounced by His first-born son Yahushua, etc. (see 6.1 The Word). Hebrew 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of Father Creator, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. 4 By faith Abel offered to Father Creator a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, Father Creator commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because Father Creator had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased Father Creator. 6 And without faith 91
it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to Father Creator must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned by Father Creator concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. 8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is Father Creator. 11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore. 13 These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of Creator Father, Without faith, we cannot please Father Creator because we must obey with the conviction of doing His will (v. 6 above). Faith certainly concerns the obedience to the Father Creator and not obedience to human laws and traditions (see 8.1 The Call to Obedience). Hebrew 3:18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? Revelation 14:12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of Creator Father and their faith in Jesus [Yahushua]. Revelation 3:10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. Besides, we see that faith is required to receive healing because Yahushua often 92
healed according to the faith of the individual who asked for healing. Matthew 9:2 And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on his bed; and when Yahushuaaw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven." (RSV) Matthew 9:22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well.(RSV) Matthew 9:29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you." (RSV) However, is the faith of a dead man required for his resurrection? Ultimately the will of the Father Creator would be carried out without faith but His will is that all know Him and know that He is good and that He will grant fantastic things. Luke 11:13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” In this verse, the gift of the Holy Spirit is contrasted to the good things which evil people give to their children. In comparison, the gift of the Holy Spirit surpasses infinitely everthing that all men together could give, because the Holy Spirit is the perfect spiritual nature of the Father Creator with immortality in a fantastic infinite creation and universe.
3.4 Father YHVH's Will In all things, we must seek and do the Father Creator's will. The Bible is very clear that Father YHVH's will is always the perfect thing to do. We find in the Bible several reports where the will of the Father Creator was made known by casting lots (see 8.10 Casting Lots).
Today, the body of Yahushua on earth (composed of the scattered brethren) may move with a coherent set of actions (without knowing each other) which will result in accomplishing the Father Creator's will. Often these actions may seem strange, extreme or even harsh, to the base mind. Messiah Yahushua is our perfect example who did His Father's will in all things. 93
John 4:34 Yahushua said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. John 5:30 "I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me; Thus, like Yahushua, we must also do the Father Creator's perfect will. Mark 3:35 Whoever does the will of Creator Father is my brother, and sister, and mother." Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of Creator Father, what is good and acceptable and perfect. 2 Corinthians 8:5 and this, not as we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of Creator Father. Galatians 1:4 who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our Creator Father and Father; Ephesians 6:6 not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of Creator Father from the heart, Yahushua explained in concrete ways what constitues doing the will of the Father Creator. Matthew 10:37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it. Luke 14:26 "If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, 94
yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Mark 8:34 And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. Luke 9:24 For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it. 1Corinthians 11:1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. 1 Thessalonians 1:6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit;

3.5 Inner Peace Father Creator's perfect way is the source of all good things because it corresponds to His will. As we accomplish more the will of the Father Creator, we receive a peace of mind which comes from Him. When we receive the call and when we answer by obeying the Father Creator, we can trust Him that He will supply our fundamental spiritual needs. Through the adversities and the threats of the enemy, we can trust that we shall receive His spiritual protection, that is the faith that we shall be protected to reach the purpose which He decided forus. The Master Poter will make of us, His clay, what he planned from the beginning for His eternal glory. When the enemy can destroy our temporary body according to the will of the Father Creator, we can keep in sight His infallible promise. Mark 8:35 Because the one who will want to save his life will lose it, but the one who will lose his life because of me and of the good news will save it. As the friends of Daniel who chose the burning oven, we must keep faith in front of the threats of death of the enemy to deserve the 1st resurrection (see Daniel 3:19-20). It is the Father Creator who will give us the faith in time required to resist to the threats of death and to choose the physical death to receive the eternal life. The peace of mind comes from the assurance that the Father Creator, the Creator of all the universe and all that he contains, is capable of any thing and that His promises are infallible. He protected the friends of Daniel in the fire. The Father Creator has the power also to resurrect the dead and to grant the immortality to those whom He predestined. The peace of mind comes from this immovable assurance that the Father Creator can grant us to conquer through all the trials and the adversities. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

4. Father YHVH's Creation All creation is necessarily physical and material as an essential reality. It requires evidently a Creator. Even though the Father Creator is invisible to earthly man, many recognize His existence in one form or another. Without the Bible revelations, we could never know as much about our Father Creator. The physical universe and all its content were created by the Father Creator YHVH, the only true Creator by His power and by His wisdom alone. All life comes from the Father Creator YHVH who is the eternal source of life (see 7. Father Creator YHVH). He is the Owner, Proprietary of all creation. Psalm 148:1 Praise you YHVH... 2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts. 3 Praise you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light. 4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, ... 5 Let them praise the name of YHVH: for he commanded, and they were created. Nehemiah 9:6 You, even you, are LORD [YHVH] alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and you preserve them all; and the host of heaven worships you. The Father Creator YHVH has created all the universe and its content and all living beings through a particular process reflected in the human procreation. This process is revealed in the Bible and explained in this work (see 5.6.1 The Primordial Procreation and 6.1 The Word). The creation is composed 2 different and distinct essences, 1) the physical material at the basis of all the universe and of all visible things among which all the living beings including men and the angels (see 6. The Creatures) 2) the immaterial invisible spirit which is granted to all living beings (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). All creation, comprising the universe, the living beings and the heavenly throne, is essentially physical and visible. Only the immaterial spirit is an invisible essence in creation which requires a physical body, except the Father YHVH. What distinction can we make between the physical creation and the immaterial spirit in terms of creation? Both are created but of different essences because the spirit is immaterial and invisible. Also, it is not because the angels can make themselves sometimes invisible to the human eyes that they are immaterial pure spirits without a physical body (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial 97
Creatures and 6.3.3 The Invisibility of Angels). Only the Father Creator is immaterial Pure Spirit without a physical body (see 7.4 His Essence). The process of creation by Father Creator YHVH of a human being includes the 2 following elements: 1. The procreation of a physical body through the genetic reproduction of a human being, either by a genetic manipulation as Adam, Eve and angels, or by an appropriate fertilization (see 5.7 Physical Fatherhood), 2. The gift of a spirit of life by the Father Creator (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body and 7.3 Spiritual Fatherhood). These 2 elements are under the control and the power of the Father Creator YHVH who then gives the growth (see 5.6.3 The Physical Process and 5.6.4 The Spiritual Process). The following sections describe briefly the history of the creation in light of the Bible. As the living beings will be transformed into new perfect creatures to live in the presence of the Father Creator, the earth will be renewed and cleansed to receive the presence of the Father Creator. 2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
4.1 Before Creation As soon as we speak about creation, we must admit a period, a space, a state preceding the creation. In fact, we should even imagine a previous state where time did not exist. We must try to imagine the Father Creator living alone without a single physical atom, without a single living creature except maybe in His thoughts. It is a concept which exceeds our intellectual capacity to imagine. Nevertheless, this logical conclusion of a preceeding empty space or void before creation is inevitable and irrefutable. At least, it is a logical conclusion concerning our visible physical universe and our conscious life. The secrets of our Father Creator belong to Him and His thoughts also belong to Him. However, we do receive some information from the Bible which reveals some secrets of our Father Creator YHVH. Also, through the Holy Spirit, we may receive information which is not available otherwise. Thus the concept of the beginning of creation is a state, a reality taking place after an absolute physical void. The Bible speaks clearly about the beginning of creation (See 4.2 The Beginning of Creation). Genesis 1:1 In the beginning El created the heaven and the earth.
98
4.2 The Beginning of Creation The Bible mentions the beginning of the creation of all things and of the living physical creatures. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God [El] created the heaven and the earth. Isaiah 41:4 Who made and executed these things? It is the one who called the generations from the beginning, Me, the Eternal [YHVH], the first one And the same up to the last ages. Isaiah 45:21 Tell you, and bring them near; yes, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I YHVH? and there is no God [Ulhim] else beside me; a just Father Creatornd a Savior; there is none beside me. Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: In particular, the Bible mentions this being called the Word which was with the Father Creator in the beginning (see 6.1 The Word, 6.2 Angel of YHVH and 6.4.4 The Preexistence of Yahushua). John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God [El Father YHVH], and the Word was God [Ulhim]. It is important to note that the concept of this being the Word in the presence of the Father Creator implies the distinction and the separation of the 2 entities physically and spiritually (see 7.11 His Singularity). The Word was with the Father Creator but was not the Father Creator. The Word was the created Ulhim delegated by the Father Creator (see 2.6.6 Difficult Verses John 1:1 and 7.7 The Delegation). This verse clearly establishes that this being called the Word was created in the beginning, before the rest of the creation. Yahushua was present at the creation of Adam and Eve as the angel YHVH called Ulhim and the Word (see 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). Matthew 19:4 And he answered and said to them, Have you not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, In the verse above, we note that Yahushua, formerly the Word, clearly distinguished himself from his Father Creator. Yahushua spoke about the creation of Adam and Eve by the only True Creator YHVH his Father Creator and he did not 99
say that he was himself the creator. Otherwise, would he not have said the truth that he had created Adam and Eve himself? He did tell the truth that his Father created Adam and Eve, not himself. We find again confirmation in the book of Revelation that the lamb who is Yahushua, the Word, formerly the angel of YHVH was the first son created, the beginning of the physical creation (v.17 and v.14 below) Revelation 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the middle of the seven candlesticks one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden girdle....17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand on me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for ever more, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 3:14 And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things said the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God [Father YHVH]; Yahushua reveals in verse 14 above that he is the beginning of the physical creation. If he is the beginning of the creation which is physical, he is thus a part of it by being the first one to be physicaly created and he cannot be the creator. Logically, he had to be physical also to be the beginning of a physical creation through whom everything was created (see 5.6.1 The Primordial Procreation). In the Bible, Yahushua, formerly the angel of YHVH, the Word, mentions his preexistence before his earthy life, even his existence before the creation of the cosmos (see 6.4.4 The Preexistence of Yahushua). John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world [2889 cosmos].

him [Yahushua] before the foundation of the world [2889 cosmos], that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: These verses confirm unmistakably that this being, formerly the angel of YHVH, having become an earthly man, was with the Father in the beginning. He was created before the creation of all things so that all things took place through this Word, this angel of YHVH who pronounced prophetic procreative words. John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world [2889 cosmos] was. 100
Yahushua confirms here that he was this angel of YHVH, the Word through whom, the Father created all things (see 6.1 The Word). This creation was made by the Father Creator YHVH and not by this being called the Word but through this being. We could also say that all things were created from this Word; from his substance as a physical seed to all matter. We could imagine that the materialization of the universe happened at the moment of the audible pronunciation of the words by this being at the inaudible command of the Father Creator YHVH. This concept is demonstrated to us in the words pronounced by Ezekiel in chapter 37 where he pronounces the prophecies which come true at once by the Father Creator's power and command. Yahushua was the first created living being. Even as a man, Yahushua, formerly the angel of YHVH, became the first man of the new immortal creature. Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Yahushua is unarguably the first one in all. He represented perfection since his creation and he always represents the perfection of the Father Creator. As the 1st perfect creature of the Father Creator, Yahushua was and lives as the perfect model (see 6.4.11 His Preeminence and 7.15 His Reproduction). Hebrew 13:8 Jesus Christ [ Yahushua] is the same, yesterday, and today, and eternally. To obtain confirmation in his position of mediator, the only son had to redeem his biologic children who are the complete humanity which had sinned since Adam's fall. He would thus show the love of the Father Creator by agreeing to give his perfect human life as the atoning lamb. In his resurrection, Yahushua incorporates the creation of a perfect immortal man who rejects sin and disobedience. Yahushua is first to become such a man. In him and through him still, all humanity will be recreated in this perfect image (see 6.13 The New Man). In this sense, Yahushua is the first immortal man thus the alpha. He is also the omega or last one by being the model from which all will be recreated or born from the spirit. It is in this perfect image of the Father Creator that the son Yahushua became the first to attain the final creation of man. Similarly, he was formerly, in the body of an angel, the first one of the initial creation, i.e. the perfect mold from which all would be formed. Yahushua reveals to us in the Bible that he was this being called the Word and the only son of the Father Creator (see 6.4.1 Only Son).

4.2.1 According to the Book of Jubilees Here below are details of the 6 days of creation which are not revelaled in the Bible. 1st day : Jubilees 2: And the angel of the face spoke to Moses by the command of the Lord, saying : " Write all the words of creation, how in six days the Lord Father Creatorinished all the works which he created, and rested on the seventh day and sanctified it for all the years and established it as a sign for all his works." For on the first day he created the heavens above and the earth and the waters and all the spirits that serve before him, and the angels of the face and the angels- that cry "holy," and the angels of the spirit of fire,' and the angels of the spirit of wind, and the angels of the spirit of the clouds of darkness and of hail and of hoarfrost, and the angels of the abysses and of thunder and of lightning, and the angels of the spirits of cold and of heat, of winter and of spring and of fall and of summer and of all the spirits of the multitude of works which are in the heavens and on the earth and in all the depths, and of darkness and of light and of dawn and of eve which he has prepared in the knowledge of his heart. 2. And at that time we saw his work and praised him and lauded before him on account of all his work, for seven great things did he make on the first day."
2nd day : 3. And on the second day he made a firmament between the waters, and the waters divided on this day, and half of it ascended upward, and half of it descended beneath the firmament over the face of the earth. And this work alone was made on the second day. 3rd day : 4. And on the third day he did as he said to the waters that they should cross from the face of the whole earth to one place, and that dry land should appear. 5. And he made the waters thus as he 102
said to them, and they gathered from over the face of the earth into one place outside of this firmament, and the dry land appeared. 6. And on that day he created for it [the water] the abysses of the seas, according to their separate gathering places, and all the rivers and the gathering places of the waters in the hills and in all the earth, and all the lakes, and all the dew of the earth, and the seed which is sown according to its kind, and every thing that is eaten, and the trees which bear fruit, and the wild trees, and the garden of Eden for pleasure ; and all these four ' great creations he made on the third day. 4th day : 7. And on the fourth day he made the sun . and moon and stars and placed them in the firmament of heaven that they should shine over the earth and to rule over day and night and to divide between night and day and between darkness and light. 8. And Father Creatorstablished the sun as a great sign over the earth and for days and for sabbaths and for months and for festivals and for years and for jubilees and for all seasons of the years, 9. And he shall divide between light and darkness and for prosperity that all things that sprout and grow on earth may prosper. 10. These three kinds God made on the fourth day. 5th day : 11. And on the fifth day he created the great animals in the abysses of the seas (for these were the first things of flesh created by his hands), and every thing that moves in the waters, and the fishes and every thing that flies, the birds and their whole kind. 12. And the sun arose over them to prosper them, and over all that was on the earth, every thing that sprouts out of the earth and all the trees that bear fruit and all flesh: these three kinds he made on the fifth day. 6th day : 13. And on the sixth day he made all the animals of the earth and all the beasts and every thing that moves over the earth. 14. And after all this he made mankind, a single one ; male and female he created them, and made him ruler over all things upon the earth and in the seas and over that which flies and over all the animals 103
and beasts and over every thing that moves on the earth, and over the whole earth ; and over all this he made him ruler. 15. And these four kinds he made on the sixth day. And there were altogether twenty-two kinds.' 16. And he completed all his work on the sixth day,'' all that is in the heavens and on the earth and in the seas and in the abysses, in the light and in the darkness and in every thing ; and he gave us [the angels] a great sign, the day of sabbaths, that we should do work six days, and should rest on the sabbath from all work.
4.2.2 Beginnings Can we find many beginnings in the creation? In Genesis, the Bible speaks of the beginning of the creation with heavens and earth on the first day (see 4.4 The Chronology and Genesis 1:1-31). Genesis 1:1 In the beginning [07225 reshith], God [ Ulhim ] created the heavens and earth. This beginning of Genesis 1 is clearly confirmed as being the one of the 6 days when all the universe and its contents were created and which ended by the day of rest on the 7th day. Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD (03068 YHVH) made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: why the LORD (03068 YHVH) blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Yet, the Bible asserts clearly that the Word, called the angel of YHVH, called Yahushua, was created before all things (see 6.1 The Word and 6.4.11 His Preeminence). In fact, it is written that Yahushua is the beginning of creation. Revelation 3:14 Write to the angel of the Church of Laodicée: here is what says the Amen, faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of Creator Father: Logically, the beginning mentioned in Genesis 1:1 makes reference to the first 6 days of creation which did not include the creation of the Word. Indeed, the creation of heavens and earth inevitably had to follow after the creation of the Word because everything was created through the Word. How long did the creation of the Word precede this beginning of 6 days? Because the Word is the beginning of the creation, we can speak then of 2 beginnings or rather of a continuous sequence of creations of which the Word was the first one. As a rule, each created thing has its own beginning. However, in Genesis 1, this beginning 104
clearly makes a reference to a period of time defined as being the first week of creation which ended by the 7th day decreed as a Sabbath day in honor of Father Creator YHVH. We can then imagine that the Word was created separately from the creation during the 6 days of Genesis 1. Moreover, a few years ago, a doctrine was proposed to introduce a period of time preceding the 6 days of creation. This doctrine was apparently proposed to justify the gap of billions of years between the apparent age of the universe according to the scientists and its age revealed by the Bible. So, a gap of billion years was proposed by biblical students between verse 1 of Genesis (creation of heavens and earth) and the rest of the creation to end the world from making a mockery of the Bible because it establishes the age of the earth to less than 7000 years, in opposition to the assertions of the scientists. However, this doctrine turns out to be false because heavens and earth are included in the first 6 days of creation as the verse Exodus 20:11 above confirms (see 4.4 The Age of the Creation). Besides, what arguments would justify that the Word was created some time before the beginning mentioned in Genesis 1? On one hand, we must admit that all the creation of the first 6 days was made through the Word which had to be alive thus already living. Why would the word beginning be used in Genesis 1 if it was not the absolute beginning? This word beginning 07225 in Genesis 1 does not define inevitably the absolute beginning but can indicate only the beginning of 6 days, as the beginning of the week marked in time. It is by logic and coherence that we can deduct and understand that the Word had a different and separate beginning from the rest of creation, being himself the procreator of all the creation. It is by revelation that such a concept is shown to us. Can we find supports in the biblical writings for this previous creation of the Word? John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Creator Father, and the Word was El. 2 The same was in the beginning with Creator Father. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. These verses above seem to refer to a beginning where the Word was already created. This beginning could well be this beginning of 6 days of creation of Genesis 1. Can we find somewhere else other proofs of the previous creation of the Word? We read in the book of the Jubilees: Jubilees 1: For on the first day he created the heavens above and the earth and the waters and all the spirits that serve before him, and the angels of the face and the angels- that cry "holy," and the angels of the spirit of fire,' and the angels of the spirit of wind, and the angels of the spirit of the clouds of darkness and of hail and of hoarfrost, and the angels of the abysses and of thunder and 105
of lightning, and the angels of the spirits of cold and of heat, of winter and of spring and of fall and of summer and of all the spirits of the multitude of works which are in the heavens and on the earth and in all the depths, and of darkness and of light and of dawn and of eve which he has prepared in the knowledge of his heart. 2. And at that time we saw his work and praised him and lauded before him on account of all his work, for seven great things did he make on the first day." Verse 1 above from the Book of the Jubilees mentions in order, first, the creation of heavens and earth, and in second, the spirits which serve. We do not find the mention of the creation of the Word at first there. In spite of this omission, we know that the Word was created before heavens and earth. Besides, the following verses of Proverbs seem to associate wisdom with the Word in a common origin previous to the creation of the earth. Proverbs 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. 23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. Proverbs 3:19 YHVH by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens. In particular, verse 23 above asserts the origin of the wisdom as being from eternity, at a time before the creation of the earth. It is indeed in the eternity that Father Creator lives where He conceived all things in His Spirit. We know that everything originates in Father Creator and nothing exists except by His will. Wisdom comes from Father Creator but the verses above speak about wisdom as a living entity besides a superior intelligence. Can we associate this wisdom with the previous creation of the son called the Word? Arising and created by Father Creator, wisdom as the Word, took origin from eternity when Father Creator lives. Time actually began from eternity. It is easy to imagine that Father Creator passed on to His first son all the intelligence with the wisdom. By taking origin from the eternal Father Creator, the Word was not eternal intrinsically but he had continuous life without deterioration (see 5.5 The Continuous Life). Like Adam and the angels, the Word would not die if it did not sin. Furthermore, the following verse confirms not only the identity of the son Yahushua as being the Word, his only son, but also that his origin is the same as that the wisdom, that is, from the eternity where Father Creator lives.
106
Micah 5:2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. There is thus a time gap from before Genesis 1 for the creation of the Word and for his education. Although this time gap is unknown, we can only be sure that it was sufficient for Father Creator to teach His son the fundamental principles and allow him to participate in the elaboration of the plan of creation or otherwise, to participate in it in full knowledge. He not only had to be alive but he had to be entirely instructed and participate consciously in these 6 days of creation. We must understand that the Word was a celestial man having natural limitations in comparison to Father Creator. Among others, he was certainly not created with innate knowledge intrinsic as a robot programming. He was certainly created with a virgin brain and spirit which were open to receive teachings. In this sense, his learning required some time although Father Creator has effective means to teach, like the holy Spirit and telepathy, for example. No matter how much time was required, Father Creator prepared His son for the task which would be his: mediator and procreator for all creation (see 5.6.1 The Primordial Procreation and 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). We can even include in these preparations the plan of redemption which would be required because of Adam and Eve's disobedience, a fact that Father Creator knew in His omniscience. From then on, His son would have to volontarily accept this mission to redeem the creatures, his own biological children (see 5.7 Physical Fatherhood). At the moment determined by Father Creator, the training of His son was completed for his task. The Word had then received from his Father Creator, love, knowledge, wisdom, faith to carry out the will of the Father and participate in the plan of creation. Father Creator then inspired His son to proceed with the phase of creation of the 6 days of Genesis 1. It was then the beginning of the creation of all the universe and its contents and the living beings, the angels and Adam. So, everything was created by Father Creator through His son the Word who became the procreator of all things and all living beings. From all evidence, it is possible to find several beginnings in the creation. So, certain important stages in the plan of salvation / creation can actually constitute several beginnings. 1) The creation of the Word in an unknown past(time spent) as the beginning of all the creation 2) The creation of heavens and earth, and all the rest of the universe with the living beings in the heavens and on the earth 3) The resurrection of Yahushua could constitute the beginning of the new creation of the new immortal perfect man. 107
4) The period of 1000 years could constitute the true and everlasting beginning of Father Creator's kingdom on earth with the new born of Father Creator. 5) The period following the Last Judgment could constitute the beginning of a totally new period when we shall see new heavens and a new earth with the presence of Father Creator on earth.

4.3 The Chronology of Creation The extended chronology presented in this work is produced on the basis of the years of creation from the 1st day in Genesis 1 (1st day of the week) and on the information found in the Bible and the books of Enoch and Jubilees. As the Bible says, the Creator Father did not need millions nor billions of years to create the heavens, the earth and the universe. He created all that in 6 days of 24 hours because He is able with His great power and infinite wisdom. Exodus 8:11 For in six days YHVH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YHVH blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. The heavens and the earth were created on the 1 st day of Genesis 1 as an habitat for the creatures who would subsequently be created in / on them. Then He continued to create all the visible and material original creation with the angels, the animals and then Adam and Eve on the sixth day. By computing the number of years from Genesis 1, the universe is about 6,000 years, contrary to the teachings of the modern world which rejects the biblical truths based on the apparent age of millions or billions of years (see 4.4 The Age of Creation). Modern scientists who have studied the current state of the universe with its expansion at nearly the speed of light, have logically concluded to a universal point of origin from a great explosion they call the big bang. This concept of an explosion to explain the sudden appearance of the material universe does correspond to the process of creation by the Creator Father. As it is written, He commanded and they were created (Psalm 148: 5). This verse confirms a rapid or sudden creation. As for living beings and living plants, they would also have been submitted to an accelerated growth that would also have the appearance of a sudden creation into adult or mature state. There is the possibility of the initial creation of the animal DNA codes in the matter of the soil, followed by their accelerated formation to their mature state with accelerated growth. That is just like Adam who was also quickly formed from the soil of the earth from the DNA code of the Ulhim, the angel YHVH, Adam's biological father (see 5.6.2 Adamic Procreation). Luke 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of El. With the information provided in the Book of Jubilees, it is possible to determine the specific chronology of the early days of creation in Genesis 1 (see 4.3.2.1 Diagram - Days of Adam). This chronology clearly proves the 364-day calendar described in the Book of Enoch and confirmed in the Book of Jubilees (see 9.0 YHVH's Calendar). Before the 1st day of Genesis 1 and before the creation of anything, the first son called the Word, was created because that son is the beginning of creation (Rev.3: 14)(see 6.1 The Word). Logically, there would be a distinct uncounted period of time prior to Genesis 1 for instruction and for the participation of the Word in the future creative plan of the Creator Father. 109
The proposed chronology integrates 3 calendars or annual cycles with their day counters: 1) the annual cycle or 364-day celestial calendar which was already in function to count the first 3 days before the creation of the sun (see 9.05 Celestial Calendar). This continuous cycle of 364 days is used as the main day counter from the beginning through the future. A specific strickly biblical chronology is first calculated in this celestial calendar, from the 1 st day of creation, without any link to our modern calendars (see 4.3.02 Biblical Chronology). 2) the modern proleptic Gregorian calendar based on an equinoctial year of 365.242 days. This calendar is significant only after the flood when the equinoctial annual cycle of the earth had changed from 364 days to 365.242 days. Thus, the Gregorian dates before the flood are not significant since they are not synchronised with the earthly equinox. 3) Enoch's 364-day calendar which was concomitant with the celestial calendar before the flood. After the flood, it is synchronised with the equinoctial cycle of 365.242 days within 3 days according the angel's instructions. This chronology uses the calculation of the Julian Day Number which is a scientific convention to determine ancient dates (see 9.11.01 Julian Day and 4.3.01 Calculation Method). Being essentially a number of days elapsed since a certain date in the past, it is very useful in this exercise. Now, the challenge is to link the purely biblical chronology to our modern calendars. We must find a single day in the Gregorian calendar that matches a specific event in the Bible chronology for which we know the date in the celestial calendar. Once we have such a link, we could convert any date from the celestial calendar to the Gregorian calendar and to Enoch's calendar, and vice versa. For example, in the biblical chronology and the celestial calendar, we calculated that the Exodus took place in the year of creation 2507 AM. In Enoch's calendar, we know that the Exodus from Egypt took place on the 15 th day of the 1st month. If we could, using archaeological research, know the year of the exodus in the modern calendar, it could be such a link. We can establish a clear link if you know the following three elements: 1) the Gregorian year of exodus 2) the precise day of the exodus in the Gregorian calendar found with Enoch's calendar, the 16th day after the equinox) 3) the year corresponding in the celestial calendar (2507 AM) After some research on the internet, it seems difficult to find unanimous dates as the connection point between specific events of the Bible and the modern calendar. However, to proceed with the development of a spreadsheet with valid calculations, a value will be adopted to get some theoretical results, in waiting to find more reliable dates. For example, some individuals establish the exodus from 110
Egypt in 1446 BCE (see link here). This value will serve temporarily to begin the spreadsheet. This chronology, developed in a large open office spreadsheet, will be presented in seven parts. 1) Biblical not connected to the modern calendars (see 4.3.02) 2) Summary (see 4.3.1) 3) The days of Adam (see 4.3.2) 4) The Flood (see 4.3.3) 5) The time of Christ (see 4.3.4) 6) The current years (see 4.3.5) 7) The time of the end (see 4.3.6) A full version is available for download at the following link (Onedrive Chronology). Like the rest of this work, it will be continuously corrected and improved on the website. The copy for download on Onedrive may not always be the most recent. Please note that the many details and calculations that make up this chronolgy still require audits and corrections. With time and the help of the Father Creator, all errors will be corrected.
111
4.3.01 Calculation Method This present chronology is developed using relatively simple calculations. A main counter is used to show the number of days elapsed since the first day of creation in Genesis 1. This is the main value on which the rest of the calculations will be linked. This number is indicated in the column entitled DAY OF CREATION CELESTIAL (JC) in the chronology. The number of days elapsed is calculated and counted using the continuous annual cycle of the initial 364-day calendar called celestial calendar. It is called celestial because it was established prior to the creation of the sun to count the first 3 days of creation (see 9.05 Celestial Calendar). Since it is distinct from the earthly cycle which has changed, it is assumed that this celestial calendar has continued without interuption to run independently and separately from the terrestrial cycle since the 1 st day of creation. The exact number of days elapsed (JC) since the first day of creation is calculated using the number of years elapsed shown in the column entitled YEAR OF CREATION (AC), also called AM (Anno Mundi) and the number of days elapsed after that year indicated in the column entitled DAY OF THE YEAR CELESTIAL (JA). JC = AC X 364 + JA For example, the 20th day in the 5th year is the 1840th day since the first day of creation, found from the calculation: 5 x 364 + 20 = 1840 Moreover, the continuity of the weekly cycle allows us to know the weekday corresponding to each of the elapsed days. This also allows us to validate the dates in the modern calendars by verifying the weekday. The weekday is easily known by dividing the number of elapsed days (JC) by 7. The remaining number of the division indicates the day. For example, the 605241 st day is the day of equinox after the flood which is always a 7th day (Saturday?) in the celestial calendar. Unless otherwise indicated, any equinox day mentionned is that of Jerusalem. The weekday is confirmed because the division of 605241 has no remainer which is equivalent to 7, that is, 7th day (Saturday?). The following day, the 605242nd day divided by 7 gives a remainer of 1, which is the 1 st day of the week, a Sunday. We must now consider the day of the week in Enoch's calendar to be different and independant from the Gregorian Weekday. Until the flood, the annual cycle of the Earth matched exactly the 364-day celestial calendar. After the flood, the annual cycle of the earth changed from 364 days to 365.242 days. Enoch's instructions to determine the calendar remain valid despite the change of the earthly cycle. Thus, Enoch's 364-day calendar must be adjusted in this new cycle of 365.242 days (see 9.02 Rules). The rule is simple: regardless of the day of the week or the day of the year, the day of the equinox in Jerusalem always marks the end of the annual calendar cycle and the next day is the first day of the next calendar cycle. 112
Thus, in this chronology, 3 annual cycles run in parallel: the celestial calendar, the Gregorian calendar and Enoch's ajusted calendar. To determine precise dates in the modern calendars, the scientific convention of the Julian Day Number (JD) will be used to determine ancient dates accurately (see 9.11.01 Julian Day). By convention, the value of the Julian Day is the number of days elapsed since a particular day in the past. This day corresponds to January 1, -4713 in the proleptic Julian calendar or to November 24, -4714 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. This reference day was chosen by its inventor because it was a mathematical jonction point between certain ancient calendars. Otherwise, it is not a significant day. The conversion calculation of the Julian Day value is freely available online for the proleptic Gregorian calendar with its calculation formulas. Thus, it will be used to give us precise dates, as much before the flood as after the flood (see link here for calculation). In contrast to the Julian calendar, the Gregorian calendar has the advantage of being more precise and thus, like Enoch's calendar, is better synchronized with the Earth's equinox. However, before the flood, the Gregorian dates are not as useful, although the weekday is valid. After the flood, the dates obtained in the Gregorian calendar from the Julian Day number are accurate and the weekdays are confirmed with the celestial calendar. So, on one side we have the day counter of the celestial calendar that runs without interruption. On the other side, we have the Gregorian calendar with its day counter (JD) which also runs day after day and synchronised with the equatorial equinox. The third calendar, that of Enoch, must be synchronized with the day of equinox in Jerusalem according to the instructions he received from the angel. That is why Enoch's calendar, is within 3 days, almost synchronized with the Gregorian calendar. Only with the information from the Bible and the Book of Jubilees, a basic chronology was produced from the 1st day of Genesis 1 until the exodus from Egypt without links to the modern calendar (see 4.3.02 Biblical Chronology). This chronology is based on the Celestial Calendar and its counter of elapsed days. It is important to consider in the biblical texts the term begat in the genealogic lineage which implies an additionnal period of 9 months before the birth. This interpretation has a cumulative effect of 7 years on the final dates of the present chronology. First, we find the day of equinox just after the flood was the last day when Enoch's calendar was the same as the celestial calendar, on a 7 th day (Saturday?) which was the 605241th day of creation. From that day on, the earthly cycle began to phase out from the celestial calendar. We assume that the Jerusalem equinox date in the Gregorian calendar (March 22-23) was on this day. Thus, we can choose this day as a connection day between the Gregorian calendar and the celestial calendar. We will count the number of days elapsed in relation to this day of equinox which was a 7 th day (Saturday?). We must find a date which 113
precedes the equatorial equinox no more than 3 days (see 9.02 Rules). In years passed, and those around the flood, did the day of equatorial equinox occur at the same Gregorian dates as today's dates, that is March 20-21? We find a reference which give the dates of the equatorial equinox for the year -1900 on March 22 and for the year -3400 on March 23 (see link here). We must often convert Julian dates to Gregorian dates with the online calculator. In comparison to the present dates of March 20-21, we would only be 1 or 2 days later for those past years. The day of Jerusalem equinox for those days could then occur between March 19 and March 22 around the flood time. We only need now to find an historical link to link those 2 calendars. After a few internet searches we find no consensus on any historical dates. However, a few individuals agree on the year 1446 BCE or -1445 the year of the exodus from Egypt. In the spreadsheet, this year from the exodus calculates the year of the flood as -2300. We must now find the exact day of equinox, that is, a 7 th day (Saturday?) between March 19 and March 22 in the Gregorian calendar. Using the Julian Day calculator, we find March 20 -2300 a 7 th day (Saturday?), which is plausible with the available data of the equatorial equinox of March 22-23. Since we know the common day to the 2 counters, we can synchronise them in relation to this day of connection which is : - the 605 241st day of creation - a 7th day (Saturday?) - in the 1,662th year of the celestial creation. - a day of equinox, - the last day of the celestial cycle - the 364th day in the celestial counter. - the Julian Day 881080,5 - corresponds to March 20, -2300 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, that is 2302 BCE The calculations are based on the differential number of days since the first day. Since the Julian Day convention is precisely based on a number of days elapsed, it is easy to calculate the value for each day elapsed in the celestial counter. Simply add the number of days since the day of connection. For example, one can easily find the Gregorian date of any day simply by knowing the number of days elapsed since the day of connection that is 20 March -2300. For example, 1,000 days after March 20, -2300 is the Julian day 882 080.5 (881080.5+1000). The calculator gives us December 15 -2298. In the contemporary years, the dates of the equinox days in Jerusalem have already been determined and are integrated in the spreadsheet to show the date and identify the days of solemnities. To show some dates and events in the Gregorian calendar, one must determine the celestial year and day of the year 114
corresponding to the celestial counter. This is done manually by entering the celestial year that corresponds to the desired Gregorian year. For example, to show the year 27 CE, we must find that this is the year 3998 AM. The spreadsheet gives us the date of the equinox as March 21 in 27 CE. Then there is the day of the year corresponding to that date, the 253rd day. This way, one can find various Gregorian dates that correspond to specific events, such as in 30 CE, the death and resurrection of Yahushua. For Enoch's calendar, the chronology also shows the day of the year, month, and day of the month in the columns headed DAY OF THE YEAR, MONTH (Enoch) AND DAY OF THE YEAR (FULL) . The results are based on reasonable assumptions but unconfirmed. Thus, the results are not confirmed. As new and more reliable data is available, the chronology will be corrected, according to the guiding principle of this work, we must correct any error, always seeking the truth. However, the beginning of the chronology is more reliable to show the sequence of the days of Adam, in particular to demonstrate the perfect application of the 364-day calendar described by Enoch and explained in this book (see 4.3.2 Adam's Days).
4.3.02 Biblical Chronology The following chronology shows the sequence of years calculated using the information found in the Bible only without connexion to the modern calendar. Details of the days, months and years are not given in the Bible unnecessarily but to be read and interpreted correctly. The easier calculations using spreadsheets makes finding results much more easily and quickly than anciently. Despite these tools, this chronology is presented as an example of possible calculations. It is not presented as error free but as a plausible interpretation of the biblical data.

4.3.2 Adam's Days Adam's chronology is based on the following texts. Genesis 1:27 And Father Creatorreated man in his own image, in the image of El created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. Jubilees 5: 8. And when Adam had completed forty days in the land where he had been created, we brought him into the garden of Eden, that he should work it and watch it ; but his wife they brought in on the eightieth day, and after this she entered the garden; and on this account the commandment is written on the tablets of heaven" in reference to her that gives birth, that "if she brings forth a male, she shall remain in her uncleanness seven days according to the first week of days, and thirty days shall she abide in the blood of purifying, and she shall touch nothing holy and shall not enter into the sanctuary until these days are completed for her who has a male child. 9. But she who has a female child shall remain in her uncleanness two weeks, according to the first two weeks, and sixty-six days in the blood of purifying, and all the days for her shall be eighty." " 10. And she having completed these ' I. e., she was created at the same time with Adam, but in and within him, and it was only in the second week that she became a separate creature. eighty days we brought her-into the garden of Eden, for it is holy above the whole earth, and every tree that is planted in it is holy. And on this account was ordained concerning her that gives birth to a male or female this law for these days, that they shall touch nothing holy nor enter a sanctuary until these days for a male or a female are completed.' ii. This law and testimony was given and written for the children of Israel that they should observe it all the days. 12. And in the first week of the first jubilee Adam and his wife were in the garden of Eden seven years working and watching it ; and we gave them work and taught them to work every thing that offered itself for work. 13. And he labored and was naked and did not know it and was not ashamed, and he watched the garden against the birds and the animals and the beasts," and gathered its fruits and ate and laid aside the rest for himself and his wife, and laid aside that which he had guarded for himself. 14. And having ended the completion of seven years which he completed there, in the seventh year exactly, and in the second month, on the seventeenth of the month, the serpent came and approached the woman,

4.3.3 The Flood The flood is a very important event which aimed to cleanse the earth by eliminating all flesh that had been contaminated by the disobedient angels when they had fornicated with terrestrial women. In this section, we are examining the main elements relating to the chronology. Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. Genesis 7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. Genesis 7:7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. Genesis 7:10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. Genesis 7:17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. Genesis 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. Genesis 9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. The following verses of the Book of Jubilees give us more precise timing on the chronology of the flood. Jubilees 5:20. And Noah made an ark in every thing as he had commanded him in the [twenty-seventh] jubilee, in the fifth week, in the fifth year. 21. And he entered on the sixth [year] thereof, in the second month, in the new moon of the second month: 'I. e., Noah's sons were not themselves worthy of being saved, but escaped death for their father's sake. 21 until the sixteenth thereof he entered and all that we brought to him into the ark, and the Lord locked it from without on the seventeenth, at eve. 22. And the Lord opened seven flood-gates of heaven and the mouths of the fountains of the great deep, seven mouths in number. 23. And the flood-gates began to pour down water from heaven forty days and forty nights, and the fountains of the deep also sent up waters, until the whole world was full of water. 24. And the water increased upon the earth : fifteen ells the waters were raised over all the high mountains, and the ark was lifted above the earth and moved upon the face of the waters. 25. And the water remained standing upon the face of the earth five months, one hundred and fifty days. 26. And the ark proceeded and rested upon the top of Liibar, one of the 124
mountains of Ararat. 17. And in the fourth month the fountains of the great deep were closed, and the flood-gates of heaven were restrained, and in the new moon of the seventh month all the mouths of the deep of the earth were opened, and the water began to descend into the deep below. 28. And in the new moon of the tenth month the tops of the' mountains became visible, and in the new moon of the first month the earth became visible. 29. And the waters disappeared from above the earth in the fifth week, in the seventh year thereof, and on the seventeenth day in the second month the earth became dry. 30. And on the twenty-seventh thereof he opened the ark and sent out of it the animals and the beasts and the birds and whatever moves.

4.3.4 Time of Christ The following verses are used to establish the chronology of the days of the messiah Yahushua. Luke 3:23 Yahushua, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, Luke 3:1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

4.3.5 Current Years The following chronology is produced with the application of YHVH's calendar in the actual equinoctial year of 365.242 days. The first day of the year is determined by the equinox day in Jerusalem that normally occurs on March 16 or 17 or 18 in the Gregorian calendar.
4.3.5.1 Diagram – Current Years
128
4.3.6 End Times In this part of the chronology, the number of days between two dates is used with the calculation of the Julian Day in the proleptic Gregorian calendar (see 9.11.01 Julian Day). While we keep the solemnities according to the Enoch calendar adjusted in the annual cycle of 365.242 days, the years and the days will be counted according to the initial 364-day calendar called celestial calendar. The following values and dates are given as theoretical and from temporary working hypotheses and unconfirmed. All calculations of the dates are based on the assumption that the year of the exodus from Egypt in the year of creation 2521 AM, corresponds to the Gregorian year of 1446 BCE. In this case, the Gregorian date of the exodus from Egypt would be April 4 -1445, a Sunday and would be the 15th day of the 1st month of Enoch's calendar. The theorical deadlines shown in this chronology are to show how close his return could be. These are not firm prophecies of his return. Also, there is no obligation for Yahushua to return very soon after the diverse deadlines. No one knows when he will return and if we thought we knew, we would be wrong anyway because the days will be shortened for the elect's sake. In fact, it would be sooner than expected. The following few concepts, assumptions and Bible verses will be applied and sequenced in time. 1) Normally, the prophetic years are counted from a Day of Atonement on a given year to the Day of Atonement the following year according to the land cycle. Indeed, this is the Day of Atonement when the shofar is sounded to announce the jubilee year and/or the year of release every 7 years. Hence, the terrible Day of YHVH is a Day of Atonement which will eliminate the evil and complete the atonement of the elect in the first resurrection and/or the change from mortal to immortal. 2) The return of Yahushua on earth could occur after the expiry of the 6000 years since the creation of Adam or since his fall, which would be 2 scenarios 7 years apart (see 4.3.2 Days of Adam). In 6000 years, the number of days since the 1st day is 2,184,000 days (6000 X 364) and 2,186,548 days (6007 X 364) in 6007 years. According to the assumptions and current calculations, the 1 st day of creation would be the Julian Day 275 475.5 corresponding to the Gregorian date of February 15, -3958. In this case, the deadline of 6000 years would be on the Julian day 2459475.5 (275475.5 + 2184000), corresponding to the Gregorian date of September 18, 2021. Also, there is a possibility that Yahushua will return on the 7th day of the 7th month according to Hosea 6:1-3 (see 11.4.7 Advent of Yahushua on Clouds). The 7th day of the 7th month after the deadline of 18 September 2021 is September 22, 2021, four days later. So in theory, Yahushua could return on September 22, 2021 or, in the case of 6007 years, 7 years later, that is, after the deadline of September 9, 2028 from the Julian Day 2462023.5 (2,186,548 + 275475.5). Although these dates are probably wrong, they show that the return of Yahushua could be much closer than we can imagine. 3) According to the sign of Jonah, the destruction of modern Babylon would be completed after expiry of the 40 Jubilees after the warning of Yahushua in 27 CE, ie after 1960 years (40 X 49). Thus, the number of days after the warning of 129
Yahushua in 27 CE would be 713,440 days (1960 X 364). It is assumed that this warning was done on Atonement when he declared the jubilee year, on September 30, 27 CE with a Julian date 193.5 1,731. Thus, the due date of the 40 jubilees is the Julian day 2504 633.5 (193.5 + 1731 773 440), corresponding to 29 January 1981. Obviously, the destruction of Babylon is not yet but supplemented with the problems that afflict it, one could assume that his troubles are started. As we saw in the Bible, the destruction is never completed immediately the day after the deadline but announced later. 4) A period of about 4 years is attributed to the 4 th stage of the prophetic Day of Trumpets. It corresponds to the opening of the seventh seal, which begins a on solemn Day of Trumpets and ends 4 years later, on the Solemn Day of Atonement, which is the last day (see 11.8.3 The 7 th Seal and the 7 Trumpets and 11.5.1 Last Day). The number of days in 4 years is 1456 days (4 x 364). Add 10 days, for the gap between these two feasts for a total of 1466 days. So, if we knew the date of the last day, we could subtract the number of days to find the date on which that period begins. According to current calculations, the last day would be after the limit of 6000 years, September 18, 2021 (Julian day 2459475.5). The following Day of Atonement is September 25, 2021 (Julian day 2459482.5). In this case, the seventh seal would be opened 1456 days before, on the Julian Day 2458026.5 (2459482.5 - 1456) which corresponds to September 30, 2017. However, to be consistent, we could expect the opening of the seventh seal, on the Day of Trumpets preceding it, that is, 16 September 2017. 5) After their preaching of 1,260 days, the two witnesses will be killed. They will be resurrected after 3.5 days and raptured with the rest of the 144,000 on the clouds, on the day of the advent of Yahushua. Knowing the theoretical date of the advent of Yahushua, one could also infer the theoretical date of beginning of the preaching of the two witnesses. If the date of the advent of Yahushua was September 22, 2021 (Julian day 2459479.5), the beginning of their preaching might be on the Julian day 2460743 (2459479.5 - 1263.5), which corresponds to April 7, 2018. 5) The Day of Atonement on the 10th day following the advent of Yahushua, is the terrible day of YHVH and the last day which will see a series of prophesied events (see 11.8.02 The Events). 7) Normally, the counting of years is done according to the land cycle, on the Day of Atonement, from year to year when the shophar is blown to announce the year of jubilee. The following diagram shows the adjacent years to the limit of 6,000 years since creation and / or from the fall of Adam. As mentioned, this chronology is based on the historical hypothesis which places the Exodus from Egypt in 1446 BCE. So there would be two possible scenarios 7 years apart since the fall of Adam occured 7 years after creation.
130
4.3.6.1 Diagram - End Times The following diagram shows the end-time chronology according to some unconfirmed assumptions. The main deadline shown below is the 6000 year limit after Adam's creation. Indeed, there is a concept that Yahushua would return after 6 millenial days to implement a 7 th sabbatical millenial day under his peaceful reign. The deadline could also be after Adam's fall which would be 7 years later. Those dates, though not accurate, serve to demonstrate how closer Yahushua's return could be than we might imagine. Apparently, even those days will be shortened for the elect's sake (Matt.24:22).

4.4 The Age of Creation The world is actually subdued by the scientific and the political authorities who assert that the universe is millions or billions of years old. This theory is thus imposed by the high authorities of the world which assert that life began from a long evolution without a creator. That is evidently a satanic influence on all humanity. Many people thus believe that the universe and life has slowly evolved without a creator from a mysterious explosion (big bang). Such things are being taught in the modern schools of the world as being a sure and unmistakable scientific knowledge. The public education systems of the world are controled and approved by the beast system. These teachings on the age of the universe directly contradict the Bible and attack its credibility. Even so-called Christians support these theories in contradiction to the correct Bible interpretations. Nevertheless, we can clearly deduct from the Bible that the earth, the heavens and life on earth were created by the Father Creator in 6 days of 24 hours, with Adam on the 6th day, around 6000 years ago (see 4.3 The Chronology). Genesis 1:31 And El saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day Father Creatornded his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. Exodus 20:11 Because in six days the Eternal ( 03068 YHVH) made the heavens, the earth and the sea, and all therein, and it rested on the seventh day: that is why the Eternal ( 03068 YHVH) blessed the day of rest and sanctified it. Exodus 31:17 It will be between me and the children of Israel a sign which will last indefinitely; because in six days the Eternal ( 03068 YHVH) made the heavens and the earth, and he ceased his work and rested on the seventh day. How is it possible to reconcile this gap of billions of years between modern science and the Bible ? Who shall we believe? It is again a matter of faith and knowledge of our Father Creator. The elect who know the Father Creator, also know that He is capable and that He really did create in 6 days everything described in the Bible. The Father Creator is Almighty to accomplish all that He wishes in a short lapse of time and not in billions of years. There is nothing impossible for Him. It is evident that a so vast universe less than 7000 years old absolutely requires an Almighty Creator. The Bible and other inspired books leave no ambiguity of a creation which excludes a slow evolution that the unbelieving and the enemies want to impose as another lie to discredit the correct Bible interpretation and to reject the Father Creator. Here is how the apparent contradiction may be resolved. The answer is found in the concept of the apparent age which differs from the real age. This concept of the apparent age is not new as it was already the object of a work written by the naturalist creationnist Philip Henry Gosse in 1857 entitled Omphalos (link here). The concept of the apparent age is developed according to coherence and the logic concepts confirmed by the revelations of the Bible. While certain men may qualify this gap in age as a voluntary deceit, the truth is that Father Creator does hide certain things to certain men and that He chooses to reveal them to others 133
according to His privilege because He answers to no one. Deuteromy 29:29 The secret things belong unto YHVH our El: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. The scientists are very intelligent in regard to physical things but they ignore the secrets of Father Creator and when told, they do not believe Him. Matthew 11:25 At that time Yahushua answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. On the 6th day, Adam was formed from the earth in a few minutes into an adult body. The adult age is established in the Bible at 20 years old. Thus, just after his creation/procreation, Adam had an apparent age of 20 years but he was only really a few minutes old. Evidently, our Father Creator has thus accelerated the process of growth in time. This acceleration of growth and development is equivalent to the acceleration of time specifically for growth of this body. Out of necessity, Adam was quickly brought to a mature adult body in the image of the procreative Ulhim (see 5.6.2 The Adamic Creation). If he had been subjected to a meticulous physical examination just after his creation / procreation, Adam's body would have revealed under all its physical and functional aspects, a physical age of 20 years or more. Consequently, only the apparent age is perceived and not the real age because the time was accelerated on all the parts composing his body. This miracle of an accelerated growth caused by the acceleration of time, was applied to Adam's procreation as it was applied to each of the objects / body created before him, including the vast universe and its contents. The act of creation was not an immediate appearance of the object / body in its final and mature state. The act of creation may rather be the appearance of a tiny part, a semen followed by a growth / accelerated transformation which would quickly grow to a final form and state. This acceleration of growth and time is obviously the powerful and supernatural action of the Father Creator. This gap of time can only be known from biblical revelation. Given that only the apparent age is perceptible, it would never have been possible to know the real age of creation if the Bible did not reveal it. This concept thus absolutely requires faith in the Father Creator and in His Bible. Now, the so-called believers can understand this gap of billions of years in the light of this concept of apparent age which is the miracle of the Father Creator. This concept inevitably requires to believe in a fantastic miracle of creation. Consequently, it is obviously useless to explain the archaeological discoveries nor all the fossiles because their real age is hidden. Furthermore, the dating methods such as carbon 14, are not even reliable enough to give the correct apparent age. As in all the other cases where the biblical truths are incorrectly understood or simply rejected, only the return of Yahushua will put an end to the useless debates and the attacks against the Bible. The scientists can only estimate the apparent age of the universe with all sorts of more or less ingenious calculations. In the light of the biblical revelations, these calculations become obviously useless and constitute a waste of time, as the rest of the searches, the studies and the calculations to discover the source of life. In 134
fact, the Bible reveals clearly the Father Creator as being the source of life and as being the Supreme Creator of everything. Those who refuse or who are incapable of believing, are going to continue to waste their time and their energy. One day, all will know these things and all will know the Father Almighty Creator who made everything by His power and His wisdom in 6 days of 24 hours. This concept of accelerated growth is noted in the celestial bodies of the firmament where the apparent age of the physical universe is perceived as billions of years. These celestial bodies, their position, their movement and all the matter which composes them, show effectively an advanced age of billion years. It is logically the time which would have been taken for such a system to take place in its current state under 'normal' conditions of growth. However, as Adam was quickly brought to a mature and final adult state, so, the universe and all its contents was also quickly brought to maturity in its stable mature and operational state. Furthermore, all the celestial bodies are also perceived as quickly expanding, which proves logically that the beginning has a unique source-point. The believing scientists and the unbelievers also have come to the same conclusion, i.e. a point of origin in space where the initial creation (big bang) occurred. From this source came out the actual apparent universe which we now see as a mature and relatively stable system. What acceleration was applied in creation and the aging of the physical universe up to its actual state? Can we find an accelerating factor in the creation of Adam? A theorical calculation is proposed according to a concept of time revealed in Bible (see 4.4.1 Theorical Calculations).
135
4.4.1 Theorical Calculations How can we explain such a great gap betwen the apparent age detected by the scientists and the real age revealed in the Bible? An explanation is found in the concept of an accelerated growth/ development in time. As Adam was formed in a mature man in a few minutes on the 6th day, in the same way, the universe and its content have also been formed and set in harmonious motions in a very short time. Can we find a definite acceleration factor in the creation of Adam? A theorical calculation is proposed from a concept of time revealed in the Bible? What time or growth acceleration was involved in the creation and the aging of the physical universe unto its current state? Although it would appear to us as instantaneous creation, there are indications that certain things were created with a growth process. This is the proposed concept here. Adam was formed in a few minutes from the dust of the ground into an adult body looking 20 years old. Can we find a factor of acceleration in the creation of Adam? Could this factor be a constant factor found in all the creation to explain the difference between the apparent age and the real age of the creation? Can we determine this factor from the revelation of the factor between the time perceived by Father YHVH and time perceived by man? We do find this revelation. 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord [Father Creator] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. We will use this value of 1 day for Father YHVH versus 1000 years for man to find a time acceleration factor (TAF) as follows: TAF = 1000 years / 1 day = 1000 X 365.25 days / 1 day = 365250 P.S. We here use a mean value of the solar year of 365,25 days. We could use another value which could change the result but it is the order of magnitude which is demonstrated here and not the precision. Can we find a correlation between this factor and the value of the speed of light since we know that light takes its source in the Father Creator? This will be examined at another time. With the objective of illustrating and understanding the concept, we shall define this factor of acceleration of time TAF as being the ratio between the apparent age ( AA) over the real age ( RA). TAF = AA / RA At first sight, it is the factor which could be applied in this gap of time between the apparent age of the universe and the real age revealed by the Bible. In other words, by multiplying the real age by this TAF factor, one obtains the apparent age: AA = TAF X RA Furthermore, according to this concept, we could obtain the real age of the universe, by knowing its apparent age: RA = AA / TAF 136
In this concept, the real age corresponds to the period of growth / development of the universe. By using the real age of the universe revealed in the Bible of approximately 6000 years, the apparent age of the universe maybe found as follows: apparent age = Real Age X TAF = 6000 years X 365250 = 2,191,500,000 years Even if this theoretical calculation is too simplistic, it would explain how the universe shows an apparent age of billions of years while its real age is approximately 6000 years. The whole world including the scientists can now reconcile the apparent age of the universe with the real age of the universe established from the Bible. ------------------------------------Other biblical proof of this factor of time acceleration We saw such an acceleration of growth when a gourd plant of a great size came out of the ground during one night for Jonah. Jonah 4:10 Then said YHVH, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

4.5 The Date of Creation We do not find directly the exact date of the creation in the inspired books. However, we find, here and there, importants hints. So, we find in the Bible precise information to establish a chronology from the 1 st day of creation in Genesis 1 until the exodus from Egypt. Unfortunately, the year for Israel's exodus is not so easily established in relation to our present year in this modern Gregorian calendar. More details and explanations may be given later. For the present exercice, the 2508th year ou 2508 AM (Anno Mundi) will be used (see 4.3 The Chronology). We know that the creation of the earth and the heavens began on the 1st day of the week described in Genesis 1 and time began to be measured from that day, even without the luminaries. Although time began before with the creation of the Word, the 1st son of the Father Creator (see 6.1 The Word), time was not counted at our knowledge before Genesis 1 (see 4.2.2 In the Beginnings and 6.1 The Word). The Book of Jubilees reveals to us the sacred calendar of YHVH with its annual cycle of 364 days which begins after the equinox of March (see 9.0 The Calendar of YHVH). At the same time, it reveals to us on which day began the annual cycles of the earth and of the celestial calendar in the earthly seasons (see 9.05 The Celestial Calendar). So, we learn that the annual cycle of the calendar begins when the biblical summer begins in the north hemisphere, that is in Jerusalem, in the city of the king YHVH. So, we can deduct that this 1st day in Genesis 1 followed an equinox of March which marks the last day of the previous annual cycle of the celestial calendar (see 9.4 The Annual Cycle). Why would this equinox not be the one in September? Simply because this period of the creation and the growth of the new vegetation corresponds exactly to the period of the beginning of the harvests which begins from March in Jerusalem with the increase of the solar heat. In the land cycle, the 6 months of sowing time normally required before harvest was totally skipped, as all the vegetation was created with an accelerated growth (see 5.6.1 Primordial Procreation). Besides, we find in the Book of the Jubilees precise information which allows us to place the first week of creation within the calendar and in the earthly cycle. First, we learn from the Book of Jubilees that there were 40 days between the creation of Adam and his entrance into the garden. Jubilees 3:8. And when Adam had completed forty days in the land where he had been created, we brought him into the garden of Eden, that he should work it and watch it ; Then, the Book of Jubilees reveals to us that Eve was deceived on the 17 th day of the 2nd month, that is exactly 7 years after their entrance in the garden of Eden. Jubilees 3:14. And having ended the completion of seven years which he completed there, in the seventh year exactly, and in the second month, on the seventeenth of the month, the serpent came and approached the woman, By calculating chronologically these days in reverse, we can establish a chronology and place the days of the week of Genesis 1 in the calendar as 138
follows (see 4.3.1 Diagram). The first 7 days of Genesis 1 thus corresponded to the first week of the first annual calendar cycle of 364 days which included 52 complete weeks (7 X 52 = 364) (see 9.02 Rules). -The 1st day of the week was the 1st day of the celestial calendar and the ground cycle of 364 days. -This 1st day of the week was the 1st intercalary day. -This intercalary day followed inevitably a day of equinox in March -The 2nd day of the week was the 1st day of the 1st month in the celestial calendar and the ground calendar which were then concomitant. - Adam was created on the 6 th day of the week which was the 5th day of the 1st month The equinox which preceded the 1st intercalary day is virtual because the earth was not created yet. However, thanks to the apparent pre-existence of the celestial movements, it is possible to calculate the date of this virtual equinox by means of the appropriate scientific formula (see 4.7 The Visible Pre-existence of the Celestial Movements). In particular, in the year of creation, the day of the equinox of March must fall on 7th day (Saturday?) (Sabbath), on the day which precedes the 1st day of creation of Genesis 1 which was the 1 st day of the week (Sunday). Now, the challenge at hand is to determine the year of the creation by using the chronology revealed in the Bible (see 4.3). It is a question of finding one or several reliable links between the year of the events of the Bible dated in the biblical chronology and the corresponding year in the modern calendar. Can the historians and the archaeologists determine reliable dates for certain biblical events? For example, were we able to determine the date of the biblical exodus or the date of Noah's great flood in the modern calendar? Some searches in the internet give us an apparently reliable result. At first, wikipedia mentions the year 1446 BCE as an unconfirmed date for the exodus out of Egypt. The following site seems to confirm this year of 1446 BCE with certain archaeological facts relative to Pharaoh Thutmoses III who reigned in the time of the exodus (see link here). Other sites quote this year as being the year of the exodus out of Egypt. At the moment, this date will be used, until proven otherwise or until finding new information. As a consequence, if the year of the exodus out of Egypt was 2508 AM and corresponded to 1446 BCE, the year of the creation would be 3954 BCE ( 1446+2508 ). One method would be to find the date of the equatorial equinox in this year to try to locate Jerusalem's equinox 1 to 3 days before. This data is normaly available in scientific sources but for now, it is not found. Also, we could suppose that the date of the equinox in Jerusalem would be approximately the same possible dates, that is, March 16 th or 17th or 18th in the Gregorian calendar. Fortunately, the following site (fourmilab link here) uses the calculation of the extended Gregorian calendar for the past years before its creation according to the system of scientific dating of the Julian day (see in 9.11.01 Julian Day). By using this system of dating, we may find the Julian date of the Saturday which falls on March 16th or 17th or 18th in 3954 BCE. The calculation from the site 139
fourmilab gives the following results: March 17 th 3954 BCE in the Gregorian calendar was Saturday with a Julian number of 276966.5 (see link 1 USNO and link 2 Fourmilab). The following day would be the 1 st day of creation in Genesis 1, that is, March 18, 3954 BCE. Although this day is not confirmed as the 1st day of the week of creation of Genesis 1, it becomes another attempt which is added to the past attempts enumerated below. 1) 3761 BCE according to the modern Jewish calendar 2) 3950 BCE by Scaliger in 1583 3) 3985 BCE by Petau, with Scaliger 4) 4004 BCE James Hussher in 1650 5) 4138 BCE by Clinton in 1829 6) 4963 BCE in the book Art de Vérifier les Dates in 1819 7) 4140 BCE by Daniel Gregg in 2000 (http: // torahtimes.org/) According to certain years proposed above, we would have exceeded the limit of 6000 years of creation. Indeed, for 2015, any previous date to 3986 BCE (60002015-1) gives us an age of creation greater than 6000 years. There is a thesis according to which, Yahushua would return at the end of the allowed time of 6000 years given to man and to Satan to complete the great lesson (11.03.5 The Great Lesson). According to the proposed year here, a simplified calculation would give the limit of 6000 years as being the coming year 2046 CE (6000 3954). However, the calculation is not as simple because the duration of the year has changed during the year of the great flood to a different value from before (from 364 to 365.242 days). That is why the calculations must be made in more details to take into account all the relevant factors. This may be continued at a later time, using spreadsheet calculations. In conclusion, the herein proposed year of the date of the creation in Genesis 1 of March 18, 3954 BCE is not confirmed. However, we have the year 27 EC which seems to be certain enough to be used as a link with the biblical narrative (see 9.8 The Jubilee of 27 EC). This link is useful to count time between the advent of Yahushua and the present but for the previous time between his advent and the creation, we need more details.

4.6 The Apparent Preexistence There is a concept which has not been recognized by many people, scholars and scientists alike. The apparent pre-existence of the creation is a confusing concept which few people have admitted. The most simple example is Adam's creation on the 6th day as a mature adult. When Adam was resting on the 7th day, he was appearing as a 20-30 year old man. To any passerby, Adam would have an apparent pre-existence of about 20 years. It is only apparent because Adam was only 1 day old. Most assuredly, Adam was created and formed through an accelerated process of procreation (see 4.4 Age of Creation and 5.6.2 Adamic Procreation). Thus, we see the apparent age in contrast to his real age. The same concept applies to all creation. The earth, the moon and the stars were created in such an accelerated process and set in their respective position and movement. Thus, according to their position and movement, the universe and its many bodies show an apparent pre-existence. Scientists estimate its apparent age as billions of years just as they would estimate Adam's age as 20 years old when he was only 1 day old. Yet the real age of the universe is closer to 6000 years. Without the knowledge of this accelerated miraculous growth/formation process from the Creator Father, all estimation of the age of the universe is doomed to error.

4.7 The Apparent Movements
Preexistence
of
the
Celestial
Time began at the creation of the Word who is himself the beginning of creation. Revelation 3:14 And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things said the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of Creator Father; Time began before the 1st day of Genesis 1 with the Word in an unknown past (see 4.2.2 Beginnings). Only from the 1st day of Genesis was time officially counted. Before the creation of the sun, moon and stars, there was necessarily a celestial clock or some other means to mark time and in particular, to mark and count the first 3 days from the beginning. This measurement was most certainly present in Father Creator's Spirit but there must have been some other apparent reference to mark time for the Word and for the other angels who were witness to the creation. In fact, we read that each of the 3 first days were clearly defined and measured as an evening and a morning. Genesis 1:5 And El called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.... 8 And God [Ulhim] called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.... 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. The moon, sun and stars were created only on the 4 th day for men to mark time. Men needed these heavenly bodies to follow and mark time and to determine Father YHVH's solemnities and feasts according to His calendar. When we look at the heavens, at the immensity of space and the innumerable stars, there is a stability in the movements which are generally predictable for many of the visible celestial bodies. Thus, their movements and their positions have been set in their proper order and stable position after their creation. Whether they were created in their exact position in space or whether they were placed there after their creation is not clearly written. Yet, according to the actual observation, the whole universe is in rapid expansion towards the outer space. This is confirmed with the observation of the red shift or Doppler effect. From this observation, the theory of the big bang was elaborated to explain the origin of the universe from a unique point in space. Indeed, this theory points to our Father Creator who created all the universe and these celestial bodies through the Word in an instant. We may logically assume that the sun, moon and stars were created in a very great explosion and directed into their proper position and set in their stable 142
movement. Their initial position corresponded to a certain system of revolution which would logically suggest an apparent prior movement. In other words, they were placed in an apparent continuous existing movement pattern. For example, the apparent movement of the moon and sun in relation to the earth began at the instant following their creation but for a latter observer, ignorant of their recent creation, it would look as if they had always been in such a movement. In other words, based on the observation and their known movements, one could calculate the moon's theorical position before it was created by simply using the same mathematical formulas that are used to predict the moon's future positions but in reverse. So, when the sun and the moon appeared the 4 th day, their stable visible movements would give no indication of novelty but on the contrary, we would have the impression that they had always been in such a cyclic movement. Did their relative positions fixed at the time of their implementation and movement ( the 4th day) correspond to a particular alignment? In all coherence and logic, why would their relative positions not correspond to the 4th day of the annual cycle which began on the 1st day of the creation in Genesis 1? Would it not be logical and coherent that the 1 st day the creation is the 1 st day of the 1st month of the annual cycle of 364 days such as revealed by Enoch? Indeed, Enoch wrote that this 1st day of the annual cycle follows the day of the equinox in Jerusalem which is the last day of the previous cycle. Because of Father YHVH's omniscience, He knew where and how to place the earth, the moon, the sun and the stars so that their relative positions corresponded to the cycle which began virtually 3-4 days before in His Spirit. A calendar's purpose is to mark time. It does not have any real or imaginary influence on time except to follow and mark it. When the sun, the moon and stars were set in motion on the 4th day, time had already begun on the 1st day and it was already reckoned and marked as days. The creation of time and the concept of time are evidently and logically independant of any calendar. A calendar is dependant on time and not the other way around. When the astral clock was created, it is logical that it was set at the real time during the 4 th day as we would do with any new clock.

5. The Metaphysics of Life You will find in the following sections some metaphysical explanations on the life of the living beings according to the biblical revelations. These revelations may differ from the doctrines of the religious and occult associations and of the whole world. Setting aside these human doctrines, the true nature of the living beings will be determined from all the biblical revelations and in particular from the revelations of Yahushua the messiah who is our perfect example. Yahushua was the beginning of the physical creation as the being called the Word and YHVH, like his Father. Later, he was/is the beginning of the new spiritual creation as the resurrected and immortal man angel Yahushua. He is the perfect final model from which we shall be all resurrected or transformed (see 6.1 The Word, 6.4 Yahushua and 6.13 The New Man). Being formerly the Word at the beginning through whom everything and all were created, Yahushua is the one through whom all the revelations come because he speaks for the Father Creator and from His part because the Father knows everything. Life comes from our Father Creator YHVH who alone possesses intrinsically the source of eternal life. Life which He grants includes all the necessary elements for the enjoyment of the beauties of His physical creation through the physical senses. The essence of life is a mystery for us but we are its happy beneficiaries. We totally appreciate life when we are healthy, in prosperity in a pleasant environment with love around us with healthy children. Life is granted as a power from our Father Creator YHVH in a physical body which is a miracle in creation. We see in the Holy Bible the application of this vital power which is described as being the spirit of life coming from Father Creator. When this spirit of life enters a dead physical body, this body receives life as a powerful miracle. In the following verse, we see this spirit of life entering 2 witnesses who lay lifeless for more than 3 days. Revelation 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God [Father Creator YHVH] entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Genesis 2:7 The Eternal [ YHVH] El formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath [05397 breath] of life; and man became a living being. Also, a numerous army in the valley of the dry bones receives life by receiving this spirit of life in a physical body of flesh and bones (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection). Ezekiel 37:5 Thus saith the Lord [ YHVH] to these bones; Behold, I will bring upon you a spirit [07307 ruwach] of life: 6 and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and will spread 145
skin upon you, and will put a Spirit [07307 ruwach] into you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord [ YHVH], and you will live; …10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the spirit [07307 ruwach] came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. This force/power of life, however mysterious it is, takes place in a physical body. The Bible establishes clearly the basis of life with the structure and the nature of the living beings. However, several human interpretations has filled the whole world and the propaganda comes from everywhere through all the media of this world. We must reject all human and worldly theories for the benefit of the Bible, to discover the truth concerning Life. It is our Father Creator YHVH who lends us life. Our Father Creator YHVH has a perfect plan to give us all life without limit, i.e. immortality as He gave it to His first son Yahushua. Against the doctrines of the world and most of the so-called Christians and the theologians concerning life, you may find here simply a coherent and logic interpretation of what the Bible says. The structure of the living beings may seem secondary at first sight and without implications. However, several false doctrines have arisen from an ignorance of this structure and have also caused other wrong interpretations of the Bible. For example, the claim that the angels have the same nature as the Only Father Creator YHVH, i.e. that they are completely immaterial autonomous spirits, causes confusion on several aspects of the creation (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). This false understanding would make the angels equal in nature to the Father Creator YHVH and would give them attributes and power which they do not intrinsically have. The world has invented a theory which supposes the materialization of the angels only in the presence of human beings in opposition to the evident proof given by Yahushua in his resurrected state (see 6.3.3 The Invisibility of Angels). The concept of physical procreation is the basis of all the creation of the living beings because all are indeed physical and material, even the angels, in spite of the contrary popular beliefs and teachings of the religious associations (see 5.6 Procreation). You are thus challenged at this time to determine by yourselves the truth and to stop believing all the popular human theories. You will find in the following sections, the proofs with the Biblical verses in support that all living beings have life in their own physical body. As clearly explained by Yahushua, the unclean spirits must temporarily take refuge in the bodies of living human beings and animals until the judgment because they have lost their own physical bodies (see 6.6 The Unclean spirits and 11.7 The Great Day of Addition).

5.1 The Immaterial Spirit We learn from the Bible that the spirit is not physical but is an immaterial concept. The spirit corresponds to the nature of the only True Creator Father YHVH who is immaterial Spirit (see 7.4 His Nature). John 4:24 "God [Father Creator YHVH] is Spirit [4151 pneuma], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit [4151 pneuma] and truth." After his resurrection, Yahushua visited his disciples in his physical body and explained to them directly and simply that a spirit has neither flesh nor bone and that he was not an immaterial spirit because he had a body of flesh and bone. Luke 24:39 39 "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit [4151 pneuma] does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." Yahushua confirmed that he was indeed himself in his resurrected and immortal physical body and that he was not a spirit or a ghost temporarily materialized or temporarily visible (see 6.4.8 The Resurrection of Yahushua). He had also clearly explained that unclean spirits occupied or possessed human or animal bodies as a house. Having lost themselves their physical bodies, the fallen angels are only unclean spirits who need such a refuge, i.e. a living body as a house (see 6.6 The Unclean spirits and 5.13 Reincarnation). Yahushua explained himself the possession of human beings by unclean spirits who take refuge in them. Matthew 12:43 "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 "Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 "Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation." It is evident that the unclean spirits cannot enter a man if they have a physical body. As a clear concept of death, the fallen angels have lost their bodies because of sin when they were cast to earth as unclean immaterial spirits. We read somewhere else that a man was possessed by a legion of unclean spirits, possibly hundreds (Mark 5 9). If the unclean spirits were autonomous and selfsufficient entities without a body, why they would need to possess people ? The reason is evident as Yahushua explained: they find no rest nor comfort except in a physical body, animal or human (v. 43). Only Father YHVH has full autonomy 148
and power as a distinct Spirit Being without a physical body. From the moment of his creation/procreation in the womb of his mother, the body of the child receives a spirit which comes directly from our Father Creator YHVH (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body and 5.6 Procreation). Psalm 139:13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. Isaiah 42:5 Thus says El YHVH, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it: Contrary to the unclean spirits who are restricted on earth, when a human being dies, his body returns to dust and his spirit returns to Father YHVH who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well. 7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit returns to YHVH who gave it. Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth? Proverbs 18:14 The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, But who can bear a broken spirit? Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of YHVH, Searching all the inner depths of his heart. This spirit which returns to Father YHVH is not a material thing but a live spiritual entity deprived of all its sensory perception. When the spirit leaves the body, the body dies and will return to dust in time. Without a physical body and without consciousness, the spirit goes into a deep sleep with Father Creator YHVH. What returns to YHVH is not the breath which is physical air. Because of wrong Bible translations, some confuse the breath of life with the spirit (see 5.2 The Breath of Life). This concept of the spirit in a body is different from the false doctrine of the immortal soul according to which we do not die but we continue to live in heaven with a full consciousness and full power without a body (see 5.3 The Soul). The false doctrine of the immortal soul is contrary to the physical resurrection which is the only means which our Father Creator has established to make us live again, according to the perfect example of Yahushua again (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection). 149
Paul is clear that all those who died are waiting for the resurrection as the only hope to live again. 1Corinthians 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. The spirit which returns to Father YHVH is not conscious without a physical body and is not an immortal soul. Otherwise, both resurrections would be without irrelevance and completely useless. The spirit in man is the element which gives life to man, i.e., without the spirit, the body dies. John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Also, we are told that the life of the flesh is in the blood. Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. In contrast to the mortal beings who receive life through the blood, the resurrected body of Yahushua, deprived of his blood poured out in sacrifice, receives henceforth life through the Holy Spirit which gives him immortality. We should distinguish the spirit given initially to man as being a creation of the Father Creator YHVH. This initial spirit is created in the image the Father Creator YHVH but is not taken of His own essence. In contrast, the Holy Spirit which He gives to man after baptism comes from His own essence which contains His attributes of which are immortality, incorruptibility and the inability to sin (see 7.8 His Holy Spirit). At death, the physical body returns to dust in the earth, where from it comes from whereas the spirit returns to Father Creator, where it comes from. We thus see the clear distinction and the separation between the physical body and the spirit which comes from Father Creator. Because of this direct gift of a spirit by the Father Creator YHVH in each of his creatures, He is in this way the Spiritual Father, the Father of the spirits (see 7.3 Spiritual Fatherhood). Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? Also, the spirit which the Father Creator YHVH gave to each of his children, human beings or angels, constitutes the distinctive, unique and personal entity 150
of the created being. Because it is unique, this spirit could be also described in theory by a spiritual DNA code. So, our Creator and Father Creator knows, so to speak, our spiritual DNA code, i.e., exactly who we are and how we are with all our characteristics. In theory, this spiritual DNA code would contain the details of our character that He has given to us, such as the talents, the particular features, etc. The memory and acquired experiences by the individual are separate from the initial spirit and are kept by Father YHVH to be returned to us at the resurrection. When Yahushua exhaled his last breath, his spirit returned to Father YHVH his Father in heaven. Luke 23:46 And when Yahushua had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’" Having said this, He breathed His last. At the time of his death on the stake, his spirit returned to his Father YHVH who had given it. As a component of himself as a distinct person, his body remained during 3 days and 3 nights in the sepulcher, without life and without spirit. Some people say that he was active during these 3 days in opposition to the Bible which state that death is the absence of consciousness and activities (see 5.14 The 1st Death). Yahushua was resurrected when the Father Creator returned his spirit of life in his body of flesh and bone which later received immortality through the Holy Spirit (see 6.4.8 His Resurrection). In comparison, the spirit is like the hard disk with a processor and a memory of a computer which allow the operation of the body. At the death of a man, his spirit and his memory are preserved by the Father Creator until the resurrection when the spirit of the man will be returned in a renewed body. To better understand the reality of the spirit, we may recognize it as having spiritual components similar to the Father Creator's spiritual body which is pure Spirit. Being made in the image of the Father Creator YHVH, physically and spiritually, our spirit may have spiritual parts alike the physical body. Since Father YHVH has created our spirit, He is our spiritual Father but in a limited manner (see 7.3 Spiritual Fatherhood). The Father Creator YHVH has a complete spiritual body as we have physically. Thus, our spirit would have eyes to see the spiritual things, ears to hear the spiritual sounds, a mind or brain to think and to remember all our life experiences and learning, a heart to harbour feelings, etc. etc. Although we may have difficulties in understanding the spiritual functions and applications of this spiritual body, this concept may explain the abilities of the unclean spirit to see certain things which our human eyes cannot see and know things which are hidden to us humans. We may also imagine that an individual's memory is stored in his spiritual brain to be kept by the Father YHVH who receives our spirit when we die. He will put it back in our new physical body when we are resurrected. 151
This is clearly shown by Yahushua our perfect example when he was born as a human being, remembering all his past angelic life (see 6.4 His Preexistence). John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world (kosmos 2889) was. Yahushua received again his spirit and memory when he was resurrected with his physical body. We see this concept confirmed with the resurrection of the young girl who received her spirit to live again. Evidently, her spirit was complete with her full memory. Luke 8:53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.” 55 And her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat. In the 1st death, the spirit of man does not die but it sleeps without consciousness of time nor reality like a deep sleep. For the unclean spirits, the 1st death is more like a nightmare because they find no rest except in the living bodies which they must live in and temporarily share with the human spirit or animal spirit already in place. At the resurrection, the spirit of man thus undergoes a sort of reincarnation because he can live again but in his own reconstructed or transformed body and not in the body of another individual as the unclean spirits do. The unclean spirits will also resurrect with a physical body to undergo the last judgment (see 11.7 The Great Day of Addition).
5.1.1 Its Functions The Bible reveals that the spirit is a vital essence of the living being which receives life in a physical body as a creature of the Father Creator YHVH. Any living being is complete only when the spirit lives in its own living physical body (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). Only Father Creator YHVH is completely autonomous as a Pure Spirit without a physical body (see 7.4 His Essence). All other living being is created with his spirit in his physical body to enjoy life in this creation which is essentially physical. It is the same vital structure for all living beings, animals, men and angels, including Yahushua who has received immortality and incorruptibility after his resurrection in his body of flesh and bone (see 6.4.8 His Resurrection). We have learnt from the Bible that the spirit has a will different from the physical body which was contaminated by the sin of Adam and Eve in the garden (see 152
5.10.1 The Will of the Flesh). We are thus battling in an internal conflict between our spirit and our physical body. Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent to the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of Creator Father after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death ? While trying to understand the interactions between the spirit and the flesh, we must also add the intervention of the Holy Spirit which is granted to the elect after baptism and\or according to Father Creator YHVH's will. The Holy Spirit is a 3rd element which takes place in the human being and which is joined to the human spirit already in place (see 7.8 The Holy Spirit). The Holy Spirit is the spiritual seed (spiritual DNA code) of the Father Creator YHVH who begets a new creature. It is through the gift of the Holy Spirit that the new spiritual man takes life in a physical body through a process of spiritual creation / procreation (see 5.6.4 The Spiritual Process and 6.13 The New Man). Being created physically and spiritually in the image of the Father Creator YHVH, it would be plausibe to imagine that the human spirit, like its physical body, also has specific functions. We could again establish a parallel between the spiritual side and the physical side. The physical human body has different parts which each play a role to serve the body in its fundamental vital needs. These functions are essentially intermediate between a physical world governed by the laws of the Father Creator YHVH and the physiological needs of this physical body. These physical bodily functions are very well known since they were investiguated by science. In regard to the human spirit, its functions would be similar in the bodily functions but would however be limited to the spiritual aspects only. First, given that the creation which surrounds us is completely physical, it is absolutely 153
necessary to have a physical body to enjoy it. There is no spiritual earth where spiritual trees may grow to give spiritual fruits which we could use to make spiritual wine. The only spiritual creations are the spirits of the living beings which we are trying to describe here. We don't need to invent anything concerning the functions of the spirits because the Bible reveals them to us. First, according to the statements of Yahushua and the Bible, we saw that the spirit leaves the body at the time of death. However, the body of the individual seems to keep its identity for a certain time. It is clearly established that Yahushua would be in the earth 3 days and 3 nights in spite of his spirit having returned to his Father in heaven. It is written that Yahushua would not be left to suffer corruption of his physical body. Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. It is clearly stated that Yahushua was dead in the sepulchre and in hades without any mention of his spirit. Yahushua was thus a dead body without his spirit. All living beings go down to hades when they die, separately of their spirit. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where you go. Isaiah 38:18 For the grave cannot praise you, death can not celebrate you: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth. Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. David is mentionned also who has died and who has known corruption. Acts 2:29 Men and brothers, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day.
154
However, we have the case of the unclean spirits of which Yahushua revealed to us certain functions of the spirit. 1) They can speak by using the oratory functions of the individual that they possess and thus converse with another individual 2) They can move through the air between individuals and\or animals. 3) They cannot remain for a long time outside a live body according to Yahushua Besides, if the human mind has a certain similar theoretical image just like the physical body, its functional parts would be limited to the intellectual functions. Indeed, the human body is the only real link between the spirit and the rest of the physical creation around us. So, the human spirit would possess functions associated to the human brain, that is, essentially intellectual, that is, spiritual and virtual functions: 1) 2) 3) 4)
The capacity to think logically The capacity to remember events and visible objects The capacity to choose freely Above all, it gives life to the body
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. In summary, as it sustains life, the spirit is the thought processor, the decision maker and the guiding light for the body. In comparaision, the spirit is the power battery with the hard disk containing the whole life memory of the individual. When inserted into a computer equipment, this battery supplies the power and the instructions to make the computer be operational in a useful manner.
5.1.2 The Confusing Translations When we examine the original Hebrew words in the Bible and their modern translations, we discover much confusion. Apparently, the translators did not know the difference between breath [05397 neshamah] and spirit [07307 ruwach]. We don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that the breath corresponds to the physical air that we breathe in our lungs. Also, we should know that the spirit is the immaterial element which corresponds to the nature of Father YHVH. The spirit is the life giving element of the living creatures. From a word search in the AV Bible, we find 136 verses containing the word 07307 ruwach spirit which is not translated as spirit. It is rather translated as wind and blast and other unrelated words, more associated with the physical air than the spirit. At first glance, it is amazing that we should find so many mistranslations in regard to the spirit. Can this have to do with the 155
possibility that the translators did not have the Holy Spirit ? Here below are only a few sad examples. Ezekiel 27:26 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind [07307 ruwach spirit] hath broken thee in the midst of the seas. Ezekiel 37:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD [Ulhim YHVH] unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath [07307 ruwach spirit] to enter into you, and ye shall live: Ezekiel 37:8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath [07307 ruwach spirit] in them. Ezekiel 37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind [07307 ruwach spirit], prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind [07307 ruwach spirit], Thus saith the Lord GOD [Ulhim YHVH]; Come from the four winds [07307 ruwach spirit], O breath [07307 ruwach spirit], and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
These examples of mistranslations are a warning to the readers not to consider the modern translations as the true Word of YHVH. The modern translations are not the true words of YHVH. They need to be read over with the Holy Spirit to begin to understand them and even to correct them.
5.2 The Breath of Life In examining the biblical translations and the original words, we discover that the translators have caused confusion. Indeed, they confused the physical breath (05397 nashamah) with the immaterial spirit (07307 ruwach) which is given by the Father Creator (see 5.2.1 Confusing Translations). Indeed, these 2 concepts are applicable to life but at 2 different but complementary levels. Both are evidently and absolutely necessary to give life to human beings. Job 34:14 If He should set His heart on it, If He should gather to Himself His Spirit (07307 ruwach spirit) and His breath (05397 nashamah), 15 All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust. Job 27:3 All the while my breath (05397 nashamah) is in me, and 156
the spirit (07307 ruwach spirit) of God [0433 El] is in my nostrils; Job 33:4 The Spirit (07307 ruwach) of God [0410 El] hath made me, and the breath (05397 nashamah) of the Almighty hath given me life. Although breath is physical (oxygen and hydrogen), it is vital. At the instant air would be removed, the human would gasp and die quickly. The same goes for the spirit in man who dies when the spirit leaves the body to return to Father YHVH. Job 34:14 If he (YHVH) set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit [07307 ruwach spirit] and his breath [05397 nashamah]; 15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. Evidently, Father YHVH supplies the air that we breath and the spirit of life. In the translations, these words were interchanged by the translators, making the understanding difficult and confusing. According to the structure which we know now, the breath corresponds to the physical human life whereas the spirit corresponds to the spiritual life (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). The breath of life is the means by which the physical human body feeds through oxygen from the surrounding air through the lungs. At the same time, it is the spirit in man which gives the conscious life also in the physical body (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). Adam received this breath of life as a physical element, i.e. the breath to become a human being but he also received a spirit of life. Genesis 2:7 And YHVH El formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath (05397 nashamah breath) of life; and man became a living being. Isaiah 42:5 Thus says God [0410 El] YHVH, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath (05397 nashamah) to the people on it, And spirit [07307 ruwach spirit] to those who walk on it: We can already interject here a particular element where the breath of life which is a physical element (blowing of air) coming from a physical being capable of blowing air in Adam's lungs, in this particular case, the angel of YHVH, present at the creation of Adam (see 5.6 Procreation and 6.2 Angel of YHVH). It is certainly not the Father Creator YHVH Himself who was in the garden of Eden because no man has ever seen the only True Creator and survived. In the Bible, there is sometimes confusion between these 2 elements because both are present in man but they are different. In several cases, these elements 157
of life distinguish the earthly living creatures having lung breathing function. Some versions substitute incorrectly the breath for the spirit whereas other versions respect the original words. Genesis 6:17 "And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the spirit `[07307 ruwach spirit] of life; everything that is on the earth shall die. Genesis 7:15 And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the spirit [07307 ruwach spirit] of life. However, in the following verse, no version translates the word 07307 correctly. Genesis 7:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath (05397 nashamah breath) of the spirit (07307 ruwach spirit) of life, all that was on the dry land, died. Isaiah 42:5 Thus said El YHVH, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath (05397 nashamah breath) to the people on it, and spirit (07307 ruwach spirit) to them that walk therein: The living beings having the breath also had a spirit. This included the earthly animals which have the same vital structure as human beings (see 6.16 Animals). It should be clear that the breath (05397 nashamah breath) of life concerns the physical breath for earthly physical bodies whereas the spirit (07307 ruwach spirit) of life concerns the capacity of the entity and his physical body to live. Although both are enumerated separately and clearly, both are required for human beings at least. The necessity for the angels to breathe is not essential according to all logic, because they have continuous life. Also, for Yahushua who became immortal, the capacity to breathe would not be necessary even if it is present. The resurrection of the 2 witnesses is made through the gift of the spirit of life (see 7.3.4.3 The 2 Witnesses). Revelation 11:11 After three and a half days, a spirit of life, coming from God [Father Creator YHVH], entered them, and they were held on their feet; and a big fear seized those who saw them. Also, resurrection in the valley of dry bones is made by the spirit of life which enters the reconstructed physical bodies who then regain life. Ezekiel 37:9 Also He said to me, "Prophesy to the spirit [07307 ruwach spirit], prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit [07307 ruwach spirit], ‘Thus says YHVH: "Come from the four spirits [07307 ruwach spirit], O spirit [07307 ruwach spirit], and breathe 158
on these slain, that they may live."’" 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the spirit [07307 ruwach spirit] came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. It is the immaterial spirit in man which returns to Father YHVH after the death of a man and not a draft of air. The spirit which the Father Creator YHVH places in man is very different from the breath of air (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). The understanding of these concepts is not essential for salvation but allows to understand better the Holy Doctrines (see 3.1 The Holy Doctrines).
5.2.1 Confusing Translations When we examine the Hebrew original words ruwach 07307 (spirit) and neshamah 05397 (breath) and the corresponding translated words, we find much confusion from the translation. Apparently, the translators did not know the difference between these 2 words. The following verses are the result of a word search in the AV Bible containing both Hebrew words ruwach 07307 (spirit) and neshamah 05397 (breath). Those who beleive that breath and spirit are the same thing, may not be disturbed by their indiscriminate use in the modern Bible translations. The others who beleive that these 2 words are distinct concepts, will seriously question the translators' work. Both are necessary elements for the life of humans. The spirit is the immaterial element that gives life to the physical body and intellect (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). The breath is the physical air that contains oxygen to sustain physical life (see 5.2 The Breath of Life). We can notice that these words are some times interchanged. This simply reveals a mistranslation which logically results in some incorrect interpretations and confusion. Genesis 7:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath <05397 neshamah breath> <07307 ruwach spirit> of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. In the above verse, both words are present but the translation only shows 'breath'. 2 Samuel 22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of YHVH, at the blast <05397 neshamah breath> of the breath <07307 ruwach spirit> of his nostrils. Job
4:9 By the
blast <05397 neshamah breath>
of Father 159
Creatorhey perish, and by the breath <07307 ruwach spirit> of his nostrils are they consumed. In the 2 above verses, both words are present but the word spirit incorrectly translated as breath. The word breath is translated as blast. Job 27:3 All the while my breath <05397 neshamah breath> is in me, and the spirit <07307 ruwach spirit> of God is in my nostrils; This above verse is correctly translated. Job 32:8 But there is a spirit <07307 ruwach spirit> in man: and the inspiration <05397 neshamah breath> of the Almighty giveth them understanding. The above verse translates the word breath incorrectly as inspiration. Job 33:4 The Spirit <07307 ruwach spirit> of Father Creatorath made me, and the breath <05397 neshamah breath> of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 34:14 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit <07307 ruwach spirit> and his breath <05397 neshamah breath>; The above verse is correctly translated. Psalms 18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O YHVH, at the blast <05397 neshamah breath> of the breath <07307 ruwach spirit> of thy nostrils. Like 2 Samuel 22:16, in the above verse, both words are present but the word spirit is incorrectly translated as breath. The word breath is translated as blast. Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God YHVH, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath <05397 neshamah breath> unto the people upon it, and spirit <07307 ruwach spirit> to them that walk therein: This above verse is correctly translated. Isaiah 57:16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit <07307 ruwach spirit> should fail before me, and the souls <05397 neshamah breath> which I have made. In the above verse, the word breath is incorrectly translated as souls and the word which is added. In any writings, each word is important to convey a precise meaning of an idea or a concept. Unfortunately, the errors revealed in the above verses must represent 160
a serious warning to the reader not to take the translations as the true Word of YHVH because it is not.
5.3 The Soul There is in the diverse translations a term which causes confusion concerning the vital structure of the living beings. In particular, the false doctrine of the immortal soul has contributed to deceive the world with this false concept which is a lie. Fittingly, it is the same lie which Satan has used with Eve to deceive her when he told her that they would not die if they took of the forbidden fruit. The word soul in Hebrew is the translation of the word 05315 nephesh which is translated by creature or being in the narrative of the creation in Genesis. Genesis 2:7 And YHVH El formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed (05397 neshamah) into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (05315 nephesh) Several Bible versions say that man became a living soul. In the Bible, the word soul does not designate the spirit which is the immaterial part of the being but rather the whole being with his body as a living entity. Sometimes it designates only the lifeless body. The breath of life is not an immaterial essence but certainly the physical air which we breath (see 5.2 The Breath of Life). In fact, the word soul designates equaly animals and human beings. Genesis 1:21 And El created great whales, and every living creature <05315> that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God [Ulhim] saw that it was good. If the translators were uniform and coherent, in verse 21, they would have translated: Ulhim created big fishes and all the living souls < 05315 nephesh >. We then notice the weakness of the translations in this respect. It is important to note also that the term soul also designates dead corpses, human or animal. Numbers 9:6 Now there were certain men who were defiled by a human corpse <05315 nephesh>, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron that day. Leviticus 19:28 ‘You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead < 05315 nephesh >, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am YHVH. Leviticus 21:1 And YHVH said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the 161
sons of Aaron, and say to them: ‘None shall defile himself for the dead <05315 nephesh> among his people, Leviticus 21:11 11 ‘nor shall he go near any dead body <05315 nephesh>, nor defile himself for his father or his mother; We must recognize that the translations do not use correctly the meaning of the word soul. In the verses above, the word soul also indicates the physical body without life, that is, without the spirit. Because of this problem of translation, the word soul (05315 nephesh) and the word spirit (07307 ruwach), are easily confused, especially in the New Testament. Indeed, the word soul in the New Testament is more closely assiociated with spirit than with the body as in the following verses. Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very Father Creatorf peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. However, the original Scriptures are clear that it is the spirit (07307 ruwach) that returns to the Father Creator YHVH who gave it (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). It is not the soul which returns to Father YHVH because the soul designates the being with his physical body, i.e. the whole person. Besides, it is important to note that the word soul is also used by the angel of YHVH to designate his own body, confirming that he also is a living soul, i.e. he has a physical body with a spirit. Zechariah 11:8 I [YHVH] dismissed the three shepherds in one month. My soul <05315 nephesh> loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me. Amos 6:8 The Lord [Adonai] YHVH [03069 Yehovih] hath sworn by himself <05315 nephesh>, saith YHVH, the El of hosts, I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein. The use of this word soul in the Bible is relatively diversified. Indeed, we find in the New Testament the use of the word soul translated from the Greek word 5590 psuche. We have apparently a marked difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament. In the New Testament, the soul seems to be equivalent to the spirit of the Old Testament, from which come confusion and false doctrines. The soul corresponds to the physical body in which the immaterial conscious part of the entity lives, i.e. the individual spirit with its personal memory. All souls, all living beings, have the same vital structure, i.e. a spirit in a body 162
(see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). The angel YHVH thus had a physical body which he calls his soul or his person. The use of the word soul as a synonym for the word spirit is completely unacceptable according to the Bible. The following verse proves clearly that the word soul nephesh designates the body of the animal and not its spirit. Psalm 74:19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. We could even conclude that the physical body also called the soul, has a distinct will of its own, opposed to the justice and to the will of Father Creator. Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against Creator Father; for it is not subject to the law of Creator Father, nor indeed can be. Thus, separately from the distinct spirit coming from Father Creator, the physical body possesses a certain distinct entirely carnal will of its own opposed to the spirit in man ( See 5.10 The Flesh and 5.14.1 The Sheol). Our physical body is thus a personal enemy to conquer. Mark 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. As other non-biblical doctrines, the immortal soul doctrine is a confusion stemming from incorrect translations or translations. The soul is mortal because it is the physical body of the human beings. The soul which sins undergoes the 1st death, that is, the body dies and returns to dust while the spirit returns to the Father Creator YHVH who gave it. Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. We have to continually refute these false doctrines with the knowledge from the Bible and the Truth with the coherence and logic which are from Father Creator YHVH.

5.4 A Spirit in a Body It is from the revelations and from the perfect example of Yahushua that we can understand the nature and the structure of the living beings. The teachings and the resurrection of Yahushua constitute the final and definitive answer to the question of the spirits and the nature of the angels (see 6.4.8 The Resurrection of Yahushua and 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). We learn from the Bible that there is an identical vital structure for all living beings, angelic and human and even animal. This structure is clearly described in the Bible as being an immaterial spirit in a material body (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). This combination forms the complete live and conscious person called sometimes a living soul (see 5.3 The Soul). Ephesians 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit — just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call — Man is clearly described as being an immaterial spirit in a physical body. The body is called a tent and a house to demonstrate that it is the spirit which is the vital and intelligent element in the body. It is the spirit which gives the physical life and the spiritual life to the being, his consciousness and the appreciation of the physical reality through the 5 physical senses of the physical body. In this context, the body has a secondary role for sensory intermediary of the physical reality which surrounds us. James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 2Peter 1:13 Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, 2Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God [Father Creator YHVH], a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,… 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. Even Yahushua spoke about the body of a man as a house for the unclean spirits. Matthew 12:43 "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 "Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 "Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that 165
man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation." The physical body and the immaterial spirit are 2 different elements necessary for the conscious life (see 4. The Creation). 1Corinthians 6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God [Father Creator YHVH] in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s [Father Creator YHVH]. 1Corinthians 2:11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God [Father Creator YHVH] except the Spirit of God [Father Creator YHVH]. The most important of the 2 in terms of spiritual and physical life, is the spirit which is thus the unique conscious personal entity of each person. John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. Job 32: 8 But there is a spirit [07307 ruwach spirit] in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding., We must distinguish the personal character of the spirit in each person as being a distinct entity who could be in theory described by a detailed spiritual DNA code. Certainly, in this personal spirit, there is an impersonal power as the spirit of life which comes from the Father but there is also the unique character of each person. With the individual's cumulative memories, that spirit constitutes the distinctive vital aspect which animate the physical body of each individual. That is why, at the moment of his death, Yahushua commits his spirit unto his Father when breathing his last breath. It was not only an impersonal spirit of life which was returned to the Father but Yahushua's personal spirit with his complete memory. Luke 23:46 And when Yahushua had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’" Having said this, He breathed His last. These verses confirm for the human beings this vital structure of an immaterial spirit in a material body. We should understand that the person with his consciousness, i.e. the personal and individual entity is in a physical body. This material body allows to this immaterial spirit, to this entity, the sensory connection with the physical creation and the other living beings. It is through the physical senses that the living beings enjoy the conscious life and enjoy the beauties and good things of the physical creation. The death of Yahushua for 3 days and 3 nights confirms this vital structure where the spirit when separated from the dead body, is considered as useless and where the physical body when 166
separated from the spirit, is subjected to the process of physical corruption which begins after 3 days and 3 nights (see 5.14.1 The Sheol). Contrary to the false doctrines, Yahushua's spirit did not go to heaven as a conscious live entity but in a state of unconsciousness similar to a deep sleep. Yahushua confirmed this state of sound sleep in the raising of Lazarus. So the 1 st death is clearly illustrated in the death of Yahushua who would be physically resurrected to live again, i.e. with his physical body and his spirit reunited again. Death is the elimination of this sensory connection from the physical creation (see 5.14 The 1st Death). The 1st death is the separation of the spirit of the entity from his body as a dwelling place. The body can be destroyed and it returns to dust in the earth but the spirit returns to the Father Creator YHVH who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7 7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to YHVH who gave it. Ecclesiastes 3: 21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth? Isaiah 42:5 Thus says God (el 410) YHVH, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it: In particular, this verse 5 above distinguishes the breath from the spirit which are both necessities in the physical life. Zechariah 12:1 The burden of the word of YHVH against Israel. Thus says YHVH, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit [07307 ruwach] of man within him: Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding. These verses are convincing enough for the structure of men. What about the angels? 1Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. The angels also have physical bodies because they are also creatures similar to men (see 6.3 The Angels). The fact that Yahushua, formerly the angel YHVH, was resurrected and returned to his formal state, i.e. an angel, proves and establishes the same structure for the angels (see 6.4.4 The Preexistence of Yahushua and 6.4.8 The Resurrection of Yahushua). 167
Indeed, this angel YHVH, to become the man Yahushua, could not simply occupy entirely, celestial body and spirit, the body of Yahushua in the womb of his mother. The false doctrine asserts that the angels are purely immaterial spirits like Father YHVH. In that case, the angel of YHVH would have only needed to take place in this child, without abandoning anything of what he was as angel, except his activities obviously. In fact, this angel had to abandon his angelic body, i.e. he agreed to die as an angel so that his spirit was transferred in a human body. It is Father YHVH who transferred the spirit in the body of this child Yahushua because the spirit is limited in movement without a body. During his earthly life, Yahushua clearly remembered where he came from and where he was going after his resurrection, to his previous state and office of angel with the additional glory ensuing from his victory over sin and death. When dying on the stake, Yahushua also committed his spirit to his Father as all human beings at their death. Luke 23:46 And when Yahushua had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’" Having said this, He breathed His last. This confirms finally that the presence of this spirit in man and that it returns to the Father Creator YHVH who gave it. However, the body and the spirit assembled together form the whole person. The physical body constitutes the person also, so that this body without the spirit is also the person but without life. The Bible confirms that Yahushua stayed 3 days and 3 nights in the sepulchre but that he would not be left there to suffer corruption. Yahushua stayed 3 days in the grave [hell 96 hades], even if his spirit had returned to his Father Creator YHVH. Acts 2:31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. In his resurrection, Yahushua received again his spirit and his memory in his resurrected body(see 6.15 The New Man). He returned to his previous glory as an angel because he was resurrected as he had said, because he remembered his previous life as an angel (see 6.8 The Preexistence of Yahushua). John 17: 5 "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world [2889 kosmos] was. 168
John 3:13 "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. John 8:14 Yahushua answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going. Furthermore, Yahushua confirms that the fallen angels have died physically but that their unclean spirits were not able to return to the Father Creator YHVH to find rest (see 6.6 The Unclean spirits and 5.14 The 1st Death). Contrary to humans, their spirit are restricted to the earth. These unclean spirits, deprived of physical bodies, must take refuge in living human or animal bodies,, to keep a sensory connection with the surrounding physical world and enjoy a certain comfort (see 5.13 The Reincarnation). The unclean spirits need a living house, i.e. a living body to have a minimal comfort. Matthew 12: 43 "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 "Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 "Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation." Mark 5:13 And at once Yahushua gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea. Several other biblical verses prove this vital structure of a spirit in a physical body, as much for the angels, as for men and animals. John 6: 63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. Yahushua confirms that the being must be guided by the spirit of the entity and finally by the Holy Spirit, and not by the desires of the flesh, of the physical body with its purely carnal and temporal desires. In conclusion, we should see that the doctrine of the immaterial angels of pure spirit is erroneous because it would confirm the false doctrine of the immortal soul which could live without a physical body. Now, we know that Yahushua is resurrected with his physical body of flesh and bone with his born again personal spirit (see 5.16 Born again).

5.5 Continuous Life There is the Only Being who has eternal life intrinsically, the Father Creator YHVH who is an Immaterial Pure Spirit (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit and 7.4 His Essence). 1Timothy 6: 13 I urge you in the sight of God [Father Creator YHVH] who gives life to all things, and before Christ Yahushuawho witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, 14 that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Yahushua Christ’s appearing, 15 which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. This verse is describing the Father Creator YHVH who created all living beings and who gives them life, the only True Creator who is the Father Creator YHVH who alone has eternal life intrinsically. For all other living beings, the Creator Father YHVH has given/gives them life conditionally to obedience. This life is called here continuous because it continues without deterioration for the creatures who obey the Father Supreme Creator without failing. The only creature who has already received immortality according to the Bible is Yahushua after his resurrection. In this context, continuous life is simply defined as life with perfect permanent health without deterioration nor aging : a perfect physical body. The angels received continuous life from the beginning. As long as they obey perfectly the Father Creator, they live without any deterioration, in full physical, mental and spiritual capacity in a physical body having the same image as the one that the man possesses of the Father Creator YHVH. This concept of continuous life is not intrinsic immortality as the Father Creator alone possesses. The loyal angels are alive and without negative changes nor deterioration at all, nor aging from the day they were created. So, the angels did not receive immortality at the beginning but they were subject to the consequence of the sin, i.e. death. A proof of the mortality of the angels is the death of the angel of YHVH to take the human life in messiah Yahushua (see 6.3.1 The Mortality of Angels and 6.4.5 His Human Filiation). This death was logically and physically necessary so that he would receive life again as a human being in the womb of his mother Myriam and to become the man Yahushua. This angel had to completely leave his angelic life and his angelic celestial body to live only as a human being. His personal spirit which was in his angel's body was transferred in the fertilized egg by the Father 171
Creator in the womb of his mother Myriam. Otherwise, he would have been a whole angel living in a man's body. This situation would have been equivalent to a possession of a man by another spirit. Evidently, it is the spirit with the memory of the angel YHVH that was placed in the human being Yahushua from the conception without the Holy Spirit. This embryo had to receive his own unique spirit but without his angel's body. In surplus, this angel YHVH who became the man Yahushua, died during 3 days and 3 nights, proving again the mortality of the angels. Another proof of the mortality of the angels is also evident with the fallen angels (see 6.6 The Unclean spirits). The fallen angels, because of their rebellion and of their disobedience, lost this continuous life and underwent the 1 st death as the wages of their sin (Rom. 6:23). On the other hand, in contrast to men whose spirit returns to the Father Creator YHVH at the time of their death, the spirits of the fallen angels cannot return to the Father Creator and they are condemned to roam on the earth, as unclean spirits. Some unclean spirits are held in bonds of darkness. Yahushua clearly explained that these unclean spirits remained on the earth by living in the human and animal beings (Luke 11:24), in the form of physical and\or mental diseases and\or of diverse influences (see 5.13 Reincarnation). These unclean spirits are like viruses and often inspire in their human host, information and inventions of new technologies which would be otherwise inaccessible to human beings. We can also imagine inspired ideas for films and\or novels of violence and science fiction. Adam and Eve had received the same continuous life which was conditional in their obedience. Genesis 2:16 And the LORD [ YHVH] God [ Ulhim ] commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." These verses are clear: Adam and Eve would never die if they would never disobey nor eat of the forbidden tree. It is important to note that Adam and Eve had possibly a different initial physiological structure, i.e. without blood. Human life is in the blood but we don't know if this was different before the fall. Leviticus 17: 13 …he shall pour out his blood and cover it with dust; 14 "for it is the life of all flesh. His blood sustains his life. Indeed, Adam exclaimed aloud when he saw Eve for the 1st time, speaking about flesh and bones: Genesis 2:23 And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." 172
The following hypothesis may be considered as plausible considering the absence of blood in Yahushua after his resurrection. Did the consumption of the forbidden fruit with the disobedience cause this physiological change by which the blood began to circulate in their veins ? Has the blood a role ensuing from the sin to limit human life ? Indeed, it is clear that flesh and blood are the composition of the earthly mortal human beings. It is a valid question, considering that Yahushua, once resurrected, confirmed that he was of flesh and bone with immortality (see 6.4.8 The Resurrection of Yahushua). Please note that he had poured his blood before dying for atonement of our sins. Considering that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of YHVH (1Cor. 15:50), Yahushua did inherit the Kingdom in his immortal body, made of flesh and bone, without blood. We may certainly conclude that immortality will be given to creatures of flesh and bone, without blood, just like Yahushua and most probably, like angels. There is a possibility that Yahushua in his human life, did have continuous life so that he would not die if he did not sin. The man Yahushua could thus live continuously just like the loyal angels and just like Adam, without any physical and mental deterioration if he had not willingly given his life. We could assume that if Adam and Eve had not sinned, their children would also have received continuous life from their birth/procreation. Scriptures reveal that Yahushua received a specific power from his Father Creator that he was able to give his life as an atoning sacrifice although he had not sinned. John 10:17 "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 "No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." So, Yahushua had to agree himself to die for the sins of the world according to the command of his Father because, not having sinned, he could not die. Yahushua confirms this state of continuous life in the 2 nd resurrection for the judgment (see 11.7.2 The Judgment ). Luke 20: 36 "nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God [Father Creator YHVH], being sons of the resurrection. The resurrected human beings will not be dying any more, says Yahushua. Was he speaking about the continuous life or about immortality ? The term ' son of the Father Creator ' implies the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the 1 st resurrection, it will be immortality at the change in a twinkling of an eye (see 5.16.1 The Change). For the 2nd resurrection, we may assume that it will be continuous life similar to the loyal angels who lived continually without having immortality. In all cases, continuous life would allow people to live in continuity, without aging nor deterioration for all the duration of this period of judgment. Being like loyal 173
angels, with a physical body and a spirit in them, we can assume that all will be of flesh and bone, ready to proceed to the following stage, i.e. to receive immortality, conditionally to their repentance and to their total submission to the Father Creator. Indeed, at the end of this period of judgment, Father Creator YHVH YHVH's plan is to give immortality to all those who will agree to obey Him. For the others who would be incorrigible, the lake of fire will destroy them all together, body and spirit (see 5.15. The 2nd Death). The capacity not to sin any more is an attribute of the Father Creator which will be granted at the change described by Paul. This continuous life is apparently granted to the 2 witnesses at their resurrection after 3 and a half days. Both witnesses do not receive an immortal and incorruptible body before the others but all will be changed at the same instant a few days later. 1Thessalonians 11:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep. 1Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. On the other hand, the possibility exists that life would be annihilated in the lake of fire for those whose name is not included in the book of life and who would refuse to repent (see 5.15 The 2nd Death and 11.7.3 The Lake of Fire). Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Given that it is the will of Father YHVH that nobody dies, it would thus be very possible that all will accept this fantastic offer of immortality in obedience to a Supreme Being possessing all good qualities with infinite love and power. 2Peter 3:9 The Lord [Father Creator YHVH] is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

5.6 Procreation The process of procreation must be distinguished from the process of creation. The Father Creator YHVH is the Only One who creates everything by His own power and no other. However, the Only Creator has established a process of procreation which uses His creatures in a minimal but necessary participation in the physical creation. Life is given only by the Father in conjunction with a process of procreation using His living creatures. The process of human procreation reveals the mode of creation of all the living beings. It also reveals the mode of creation of all the universe as we shall see (see 5.6.1 The Primordial Procreation and 6.1 The Word). The process of human procreation is simply a genetic reproduction of the father progenitor through the development of a human being from his genetic DNA code which contains the image of the father. It is only the Father Creator YHVH who creates but by means of the living beings who beget new living beings through this physical process (see 5.6.5 The Genetic Laws). In the case of human procreation, it is according to the image of the parents that the children receive life. We know this process where an ovum in the woman is fertilized by a Y chromosome from the procreator father. In fact, the mother acts as an appropriate environment where the fetus may receive protection and nutriments for the development during the period of gestation. The fetus develops until the birth and then the living being continues his development in this world (see 5.6.3 The Physical Process). In this way the Father Creator YHVH creates and gives life to new children intended to become His spiritual children in eternity through a new birth (see 5.16 New Birth and 7.3 Spiritual Fatherhood). Thus, instead of creating everything by Himself in total isolation, out of sight of everyone and without any participation, the Father Creator YHVH chose to create through other subordinate beings who act as intermediaries and as witnesses of His fantastic creation (see 6. The Creatures). These biological parents have the great joy of witnessing the miracle of life occurring under their eyes to give praise to Father YHVH, the Supreme Creator. Job 31:15 Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb? Psalms 139: 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. Jeremiah 1: 5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." Malachy 2:10 Have we not all one Father? Has not one God (0410 176
El) created us? Why do we deal treacherously with one another By profaning the covenant of the fathers? For the man, his reproduction through procreation is initiated by a simple deposit of his semen. The progenitor is only placing his DNA code in the woman where the miracle of life takes place. This fertilization can also be done in a laboratory by another through artificial insemination so that the process is limited to the placing of a DNA code in a fertile woman. When the Father Creator accomplishes the miracle, the progenitor is reproduced in his image in a new human being. In this way, the angel YHVH took Adam's DNA code to form Eve, without the conscious participation of Adam who was sleeping. As for Father YHVH, He created everything from His wisdom and from His energy, as well the process of development, as well the energy and materials to carry out this development. In fact, it is the Father Creator YHVH who gives life to the creature by placing in that new body a spirit of life by which the creature can live (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). 1Corinthians 11: 12 For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God [Father Creator YHVH]. It is the miracle of the life to which we are witnesses in the birth of a human being. By giving a spirit similar to His character (spiritual image), Father YHVH creates the type of character similar to His, i.e. which corresponds to His spiritual character as spiritual Donor. It is however necessary to distinguish this spirit of life which is different from the Holy Spirit (see 7.8 the Holy Spirit). That is why the Father Creator YHVH who grants the spirits is the Spiritual Father of all, in contrast to the biological father who supplies only the physical aspect of the body, i.e. the visual image and the physical form (see 5.7 Physical Fatherhood). The process of procreation uses the DNA code of a creature to procreate another creature in its image by the power of the Father Creator YHVH. In particular, the human procreation implies the union of 2 distinct DNA codes to form a new human being. The human parents are not the creators of this child but only the progenitors. In other words, Father Creator YHVH is Himself alone the Creator but He uses His power through His creation and in His creation, through His creatures and in His creatures. In fact, He accomplishes the miracle of life by His power in the human body where He created and implanted this process at the beginning in Adam and Eve. The Father Creator, the only True Creator YHVH created all humanity through Adam and Eve and then, through every biological parent (see 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). We have here a revelation of the invisible reality through the visible reality. The visible reflects the invisible. The concept implies the creation through an intermediary or mediator who has a subordinate but participative role. The biological parents have an essential role as intermediaries but minimal in terms 177
of the creation of the child because it is the Father Creator YHVH who gives life and the development of the child.

5.6.1 Primordial Procreation The process of human procreation reveals to us the mode of creation by the Father Creator through an intermediary being who has no intrinsic power (see 5.6.3 The Physical Processus). In this physical process, the parents participate as progenitors and not as creators. The man supplies his DNA code which is placed in the woman and then the Father Creator creates a new creature by accomplishing the miracle of life by His power only. We will examine here below the participation of the 1st creature called the Word and Ulhim who is not the creator but through whom, the Father Creator began to create according to an elementary process called here primordial procreation. This mode of procreation is called primordial because it is the original mode of creation used by the Father Creator during the first 6 days of creation. This primordial procreation is similar to the human procreation but at an elementary level which excludes any physical manipulation by the intermediary. In this primordial procreation, the Father Creator used this Ulhim, His first son, as His intermediary to create the universe and all its content, the angels and the animals. We must distinguish the creation / procreation of Adam from the primordial procreation. Indeed, in Adam's procreation, the Ulhim participated physically himself in the procreative genetic manipulation whereas he did no manipulation in the primordial procreation (see 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). In this primordial procreation, the Father Creator alone did create. Contrary to the almost universal beliefs, the Ulhim mentioned in the narrative of creation is not the Father Creator in person (see 12.12 His Separation). This Ulhim called the Word and YHVH is the first son Yahushua the messiah in his preexistence who acted and spoke for his Father Creator (see 6.1 The Word and 6.4.4 His Preexistence). John 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word [Yahushua the Word], and the Word was with Creator Father, and the Word was El. 2 The same was in the beginning with Creator Father. 3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. Hebrew 1:1 Creator Father, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, 2 hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds [0165 aeons ages]; Colossians 1:15 who [Yahushua the Word] is the image of the invisible Creator Father, the firstborn of all creation; 16 for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, 179
and unto him; These verses clearly establish Yahushua in his preexistence (as the Word) as being involved in all the creation including the creatures. The Father Creator is the One who alone can create but His mode of creation is according to a process of procreation through an intermediary as we see in human procreation and as we will see here below. In the case of the creation through this being the Word, the process of primordial procreation consists in a minimal but necessary participation. What was this participation? We find part of the answer in the following verses: Psalms 148:2 Praise ye him, all his angels: Praise ye him, all his host. 3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: Praise him, all ye stars of light. 4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the name of YHVH; For he commanded, and they were created. Psalms 33:6 By [through] the word of YHVH were the heavens made, And all the host of them by [through] the breath of his mouth. Psalms 33:8 Let all the earth fear YHVH: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9 For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. In particular, it is important to note verse 9 above which confirms the mode of primordial procreation which consists in saying the words for the thing to be done and\or to order for the thing to exist. We can easily recognize this particular process in the narrative of creation where the Ulhim said and the thing was created, as follows: Genesis 1:3 God [0430 Ulhim] said, Let there be light: and there was light. We find this expression on each of the 6 days of the initial creation in Genesis where the Ulhim (the Word) said and the thing was created. This Ulhim is the Word, the 1st creature and the 1st son who pronounces these words expressing the Father Creator's will. These words are prophetic because as soon they are pronounced they are accomplished by the power of Father Creator only. At first glance, we could conclude, as most of the so-called scholars, that this mode of primordial procreation consisted exclusively in saying words for the thing to happen. At first glance, the angels, the universe and all its contents would have appeared only by the pronunciation, without any other form of contribution from this being, consciously or unconsciously. However, we are confronted with another aspect of this primordial procreation which is revealed by the Bible in the following facts: 180
1) This being (the Word and Ulhim) is the only son of the Father Creator from the beginning and remains so (see 6.4.1 Only Son and 6.4.4 His Preexistence) 2) The angels are called sons of this Ulhim (Job 1:6) (see 6.3 The Angels and 6.4.6 His Celestial Filiation) 3) This Ulhim is himself the beginning of the physical creation (see 4.2 The Beginning of the Creation and 5.4 A Spirit in a Body) 4) Everything was created through this first physical living being and not only through his audible words These facts require necessarily a genetic link between this Ulhim and the angels for them to be called his sons. This direct physical genetic link is absent between the Father Creator and the angels because only this Ulhim is called the only direct son of the Father Creator. For the common people, this physical genetic link cannot even be imagined because they reject the physical nature of this Ulhim and of the angels. However, this present work reveals the physical nature of the angels with the biblical proofs in support although their celestial nature is a little different from the earthly nature of men (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). The Bible clearly says that the Word is the beginning of creation which is physical (Rev. 3:14). Logically, how can the first son be the beginning of the physical and visible creation if he was only invisible immaterial spirit like the Father Creator ? Otherwise, when did the physical creation really begin except with the first creature (Yahushua the Word)? Yahushua being resurrected showed himself to his disciples with his physical immortal body as a proof of his previous nature, as the son, the Word and the angel of YHVH (see 6.4.8 His Resurection and 5.17 The Physical Resurrection). In creation, the Bible confirms that the physical material precedes the spiritual. 1 Corinthians 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual [4152 of the spirit], but that which is natural [5591 natural physical]; and afterward that which is spiritual [4152 of the spirit]. By knowing that the physical body is a house for the spirit, the house must inevitably exist before the occupation by the spirit. The physical body must be created before placing a spirit of life therein. Clearly, Adam was formed physically from the ground, and then the breath and a spirit of life were granted to him (see 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith El the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath [05397 breath of air] unto the people upon it, and spirit [07307 ruwach] to them that walk therein: 181
The popular beliefs reject the biblical fact that the loyal angels are physical beings who possess a spirit (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). For those who can admit this concept, creation includes 2 different essences: the physical matter which composes all the visible creation, and the spirit (invisible and immaterial) which is granted to all living beings (see 4. The Creation and 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). The following explanations are based on the physical nature of this first being the Word, of angels and of men who all possess a spirit . The situation is different for the fallen angels because of their rebellion (see 6.6 The Unclean Spirits). Out of necessity of coherence and logic, the facts expressed above result in the following consequences: 1) This being the Word was the only son created directly from the Father Creator, thus the 1st physical creature created in His image (see 6.4.4 His Preexistence and 12.9 His Image) 2) This Ulhim (the Word) being the only son of the Father Creator, it is excluded that the angels be direct sons of the Father Creator 3) this Ulhim is the biologic father of the angels according to the laws and the rules which are clearly established in the Bible and in the nature. The genetic laws clearly establish as biologic father the one whose physical DNA code is used in the process of procreation. It is not important that the progenitor implants himself his DNA code or that his code is implanted by another person. We saw in the creation/procreation of Eve that Adam's DNA code was used by the Ulhim (the angel YHVH) in the creation of Eve, without Adam's conscious participation. Even if this procreation of Eve was a quasi-cloning , the strict application of the genetic laws establishes Adam as the biologic father of Eve. However, out of necessity, Eve was created to be his help and his wife, and not his daughter. The same necessity of consanguineous relation was allowed between the daughters and the sons of Adam for the populating of the planet. Also, by coherence and by logic, it is assumed that the angels to be his sons, must have been created / procreated from the DNA code of this first Ulhim. Thus the Father Creator would have used the physical DNA code of this first being to create the angels in quasi-cloning, just like Eve was created/procreated from Adam's DNA code without his conscious contribution. The angels were created by the Father Creator to be messengers at His service and also His only son called the Word who received the exclusive delegation (see 12.7 The Delegation). As the biologic sons of this Ulhim, the angels are subjected to the authority and to the superiority of their progenitor according to the order clearly established in all the Bible (see 6.4.10 His Superiority and 6.4.11 His Precedence). This superiority of the progenitors is shown in the 5th command: honor your father and your mother. In respect for this absolute principle that everything was created through this 182
first creature, we must recognize another link. Regardless if the physical body of this first being contained or not all the elements of the atomic table of elements, he possessed in his body the fundamental atomic structure. This being would really be the 1st physical creation at the same level as the rest of the physical creation. The following verse would confirm that the atomic elements composing the physical universe were created from his physical body, from the atomic structure present in his body. Colossians 1:16 for in him [Yahushua the Word] were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through [1223 dia, through] him, and unto him; 17 and he is before all things, and in him all things consist. When creating the first atom in the body of this first being, the Father Creator had decided on all the atomic physical structure of the universe with its atomic variations. As the Father Creator used the DNA code of His first son as the model for the angels, also, the Father Creator would have used the atomic model from the body of this being to form all the elements of all physical matter. Can we imagine that the Father Creator caused a great explosion (big bang) from this atomic model of the first body to form the planets and all the celestial bodies which are in the firmament and to bring them quickly to a mature state (see 4.4 The Age of the Creation)? Hebrew 1:1 Creator Father, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, 2 hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds [0165 aneons ages]; 3 who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son? This verse distinguishes the only son from all the other angels. In the light of the privilege granted to Yahushua as the only son begotten directly by the Father Creator in a woman, we logically must conclude that the angel YHVH, formerly the Word, received also a similar privilege from his initial creation as progenitor in the first act of creation (see 4.1 The Beginning of the Creation). Yahushua, the only son, received at his resurrection, the confirmation of his filiation from the 183
Father Creator, through this ultimate act of immortal spiritual procreation. Acts 13:33 that Creator Father hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Yahushua; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. Like Yahushua again, it is in the resurrection that all the spiritual brothers of Yahushua will take their place in the immortal family of the Father Creator, by this spiritual procreation with an incorruptible immortal body, perfect as the Father Creator is perfect. That is why, we distinguish the physical procreation from the spiritual procreation by the Father Creator who will grant immortality through the Holy Spirit (see 12.8 The Holy Spirit). Whereas this being the Word is the biologic father of all the men and angels, the Father Creator will be the Spiritual Father of all these beings made immortal in the spiritual birth (see 5.16 Born Again). The understanding of this process of procreation through an intermediary is fundamental to recognize the Father Creator YHVH as being the only True Creator of all living beings and everything (see 5.6.4 The Spiritual Process).

5.6.2 Adamic Procreation We will examine here below the creation/procreation of Adam and Eve. In contrast to the primordial procreation, the Ulhim participated personally and physically in a genetic manipulation for Adam's procreation. The Bible reveals to us that Adam was formed from the dust of the ground. Genesis 1:26 And El said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. Genesis 2: 7 And YHVH El formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. We have learned from the Bible and from Yahushua in particular, that the Father Creator was not in the garden of Eden in person for the creation/procreation of Adam but that it was Yahushua who was the angel YHVH called the Word and Ulhim, His first created son (see 7.12 His Separation, 4.1 The Beginning of Creation, 6.1 The Word and 6.2 Angel of YHVH). This Ulhim did not create Adam but he participated in the procreation of Adam who was, according to the genetic laws, in his image and his likeness. The nature of this genetic manipulation used in the creation/procreation of Adam is confirmed by that of Eve. Indeed, the narrative of Genesis clearly reveals the creation/procreation of Eve as being a genetic manipulation in which the angel YHVH participated physically and directly. Genesis 2:21 And YHVH God [Ulhim] caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which YHVH God [Ulhim] had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man. According to the Book of Jubilees, Eve's DNA was created on the 6 th day in Adam's rib. It is only the following week that she was formed into an adult female body from her DNA. Jubilees 3:2 And on these five days Adam saw this : a male and a female in each kind that is on the earth, but that he was alone and could not find a companion who could be an aid to such as he. 3. And God said to me:' " It is not good that man should be alone : let us make for him a helpmeet like unto him." 4. And the Lord our Father Creatoraused a stupor to fall upon him and he slept, and he 185
took for a wife one rib from amongst his ribs, and this rib was made into a woman from amongst his ribs, and he built flesh there in its place, and byilt a woman. 5. And he awakened Adam out of his sleep, and awakening he arose on the sixth day [of the week, 13th day of creation] and came to her and knew her and said unto her: 'This is now bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh : this one shall be called my wife, for she came and originated from man. Thus, we see with Eve the concept of the creation of the DNA code in Adam's rib 5 days before the formation of her adult body. As clearly as Eve's creation/procreation was a genetic manipulation using the DNA code contained in his rib, so was Adam's creation/procreation a genetic manipulation where the Ulhim used his own DNA code. That is why Adam is the son of this Ulhim as confirmed by the biblical genealogy. Luke 3:38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God [Ulhim]. For the same arguments used for the angels, Adam is not the direct biological son of the Father Creator because the being called Ulhim and the Word is the only son, the first created son of the Father Creator (see 6.4.1 Only Son). Can we imagine that Adam was formed from the ground when this angel YHVH used his own DNA code as we use a seed to grow a tree in the ground ? Can we imagine that the angel YHVH may have deposited his saliva (his DNA code) in a pool of mud where the Father Creator miraculously created Adam in an accelerated growth ? Such a genetic manipulation by the angel cannot be excluded because this process of genetic manipulation is actually confirmed in present laboratory where human skin and organs are grown from human genetic codes. This process is also confirmed by the cloning of animals in laboratory. If man can do this type of manipulation in laboratories, how much more can Father Creator even make a whole man grow from the ground ? These genetic manipulations, like the natural human procreation, requires a certain progressive development although it may be accelerated as shown in the Bible. In support of this concept of progressive development underlying creation, a progressive continuous development is seen in the actual expansion of the physical universe. According to believing and unbelieving scientists alike, this expansion of the universe proves the origin of this universe from a unique source-point where a mysterious explosion took place called the big bang. Just like the apparent age of this universe shows an age of billions of years when it is approximately 6000 years, so also, Adam showed a 20 year old adult body after 186
only a few minutes of growth. Just like the universe was subjected to an acceleration of development and time which hides its real age of approximately 6000 years, so also, Adam was subjected to an accelerated growth (see 4.4 The Age of Creation). Thus the act of creation/procreation through the being called the Word is not the instantaneous apparition of the object/body in its final and mature state. The act of creation was rather done using a part of this being the Word as an initial seed, followed after by a growth/transformation accelerated by Father Creator. This acceleration of development and time is evidently a powerful and miraculous act of Father Creator who quickly brings the object/body to a mature form and state. This time gap can only be known through Biblical and spiritual revelation. Since, only the apparent age is perceptible, it would never have been possible to know the real age of creation without the Biblical revelation. This concept of apparent age, thus absolutely requires faith in Father Creator and in His inspired words. Through such an explanation in the concept of apparent age, the so-called believers may now understand this gap of billions of years which is the miracle of Father Creator. This concept necessarily requires to believe in a fantastic miracle of creation. Consequently, it is evidently useless to explain the archeological discoveries nor all the fossils since their real age is hidden. Moreover, the dating method such as the carbon 14, are not even trustworthy enough to give the exact apparent age. As in the other cases where the Biblical truths are misunderstood or simply rejected, only Yahushua's return will put an end to the useless debates and the attacks against the Bible. According to the Bible, everything was created through this first being called the Word and not by him but rather by the Almighty Father Creator. The word by in these verses comes from the Greek word dia 1223 which means through. This principle is fundamental in the creation to recognize the Father Creator as the Only Creator. Just like Adam is the biological father of all humanity and not its creator, so also, this Ulhim YHVH, the Word, is not the creator but rather the progenitor and the biological father of all humanity. The following verse from Isaiah then takes its clear meaning when the prophesied child Yahushua would be called eternal father. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given: and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God [0410 El], The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. This verse confirms thus that Yahushua from his preexistence as the Word, is the biological father of all humanity whereas the Father Creator will be the Spiritual Father of all the creatures, angels and men (see 5.7 Physical Fatherhood, 5.8 Spiritual Fatherhood and 5.16.1 The Change). 187
Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Yahushua holds this physical fatherhood from his preexistence since the man Yahushua did not have biological children in his human life. This verse 30 corresponds to the concept expressed by Adam when he saw the woman taken from his rib, from his DNA code. Genesis 2:23 And Adam [0120 adam] said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman (0802 Isha), because she was taken out of Man (0376 iysh). In conclusion, the adamic creation was the transitory step to the ulterior natural human procreation where the human parents would be used by the Father Creator to create the rest of humanity which would potentially become His children in the new birth (see. 5.16 Born Again).
5.6.3 The Physical Process We can see the process of the physical human procreation as follows: 1) Extraction of the DNA code from the procreative father (by sperm or other substratum) 2) Insemination of the woman 3) Fertilization of the feminine ovum by the sperm: beginning of the physical life 4) Gestation: growth and development 5) Birth: release from the womb of the mother 6) Assisted physical growth and development 7) Assisted intellectual development It is important to note the growth of the foetus in several stages until its complete physical maturity. Modern science has managed to dehumanize partially a part of this process. Indeed, some have managed to inseminate a woman artificially, to fertilize an ovum in a test tube and to implant the embryo thus obtained in a surrogate mother. Some scientists may have even developed an artificial womb which would allow the development of the fetus. However, for reasons of ethics, this process has not been officially pursued and marketed. 188
We all have heard about the cloning of animals. Who knows now where scientists have gone, far from the public eye, in the researches and the scientific developments in the cloning of humans ? We have read how Adam was formed from the dust of the ground according to an unknown process of insemination, fertilization and human gestation. Based on the process of elementary procreation, Adam's creation / procreation was like Eve's, a genetic manipulation making use of the code DNA of the donor (see 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). Although miraculous, Adam's forming followed the genetic laws implanted by the Father Creator.

5.6.4 Spiritual Process The process of spiritual procreation has already been compared with the process of human physical procreation. The Holy Spirit is the spiritual seed of the Father Creator, the Supreme Spiritual Genitor. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of Father Creator doth not commit sin; for his seed [4690 sperma] remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of Father Creator. This spiritual seed contains the spiritual DNA code of the Spiritual Genitor who wants to share some of His attributes with His children. There is thus a spiritual fatherhood which follows similar genetic laws as those of the physical procreation (see 12.3 The Spiritual Fatherhood). This spiritual procreation (and creation) is explained in the Bible in a relatively clear and simple way because it follows a process similar to the physical procreation as a reproduction as follows. 1) The Holy Spirit comes from the Father Creator the Only Supreme Spiritual Progenitor 2) The Holy Spirit is granted to the elect 3) The Holy Spirit unites with the spirit in man to create a new creature: the beginning of the new spiritual life in a spiritual embryo 4) Gestation: spiritual growth and development in truth and in obedience in this temple made of flesh, bone and blood 5) The resurrection gives to the elect who died with the Holy Spirit a new body made of a new celestial flesh, with continuous life 6) The elect still alive will be gathered together on the clouds with Yahushua and the recently resurrected elect with the continuous life 7) The new birth: all the reunited elect will be changed in the twinkling of an eye to be all constituted of a new celestial flesh, like Yahushua, to receive immortality, as well as offices of kings and kings before seting their feet on the earth, with Yahushua, to establish the Kingdom and to continue Father Creator's plan. 8) The new spiritual children of the Father Creator will eternally continue to grow in knowledge It is important to note the progress in the spiritual development over several steps. The human spirit, as the physical embryo, must grow up to its viability and its maturity. This progressive development is confirmed by the new man in us who grows until his full maturity in Yahushua. 2Corinthians 4:16 190
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer
nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. Ephesians 4:11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ [messiah Yahushua], 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of Creator Father, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ [messiah Yahushua], Yahushua is always our perfect example in his life.
5.6.5 Genetic Laws In the process of procreation, it is useful to examine summarily the laws of genetics. Indeed, as the other natural laws, our Father Creator YHVH established laws which govern the genetic procreation. Recently, important advancements have been made in the study of the genetic codes of living beings commonly called the DNA codes (deoxyribonucleic acid). For example, we know that the male code called Y-DNA code is passed on from father to son without major discontinuity, except for some minor alterations called mutations. It is thus possible to examine the past genetic ancestry from sons to fathers. Some specialized firms are actually analyzing personal DNA codes to establish relations between individuals and races based on their haplogroups*. The female genetic code called mitochondria genome ( ADNmt) is passed on from mother to daughter. Although the son possesses this female code from his mother, he does not pass it on to his offspring whereas the daughter passes it on. The DNA code of a person contains all the individual physical characteristics of this person, color of eyes, color of hair, size, forms, etc. By passing on his DNA code in the process of procreation, the father shares his image and his shape with a new human being who will look like his father. Obviously, the contribution of the mother in this genetic process, will influence the image and the form of the child who will be born. In that case, we could speak about dominant genes and about recessive genes. The dominant gene of color will be the one which will take place in the child. Apparently, our Father Creator YHVH may have decided/predicted the exact image which the child would take from his father or 191
his mother or even grandparents. It is then possible that the child receives more the image of the grandparents than the parents. But generally, the child will look like his parents. The son looks like his father and the girl like her mother or a mixture both according to the will of the Father Creator YHVH. In the case of Yahushua, it is important to recognize these genetic laws to appreciate the revelation that he made of his Father Creator YHVH. By being the perfect image of his Father Creator YHVH, Yahushua confirmed that he was issued from a miraculous genetic procreation of his Father Creator YHVH (see 12.4 His Image). *Haplogroup: a haplogroup is a large group of haplotypes, which are a series of alleles situated in specific sites in a chromosome. It is interesting to note that Eve was created on the 6th day in Adam's rib but was only formed on the 13th day (see 6.7.1 The Woman). This detail confirms the use of a DNA code for the creation / procreation of a living being. The initial creation of Eve and her later formation also establishes the concept according to which the DNA code of a living being can be created before the being is formed and receives life. The same concept is confirmed in the seeds of the plants which contain thier DNA codes and which develops later when the adequate conditions allow their development with life. As regards the creation of plants at the beginning, it is possible that the DNA codes of the diverse varieties were created in the ground and developed later when the sun was created and rain fell on them.
5.7 Physical Fatherhood The process of procreation by the insemination of the mother with the DNA code of the father, establishes the physical fatherhood of the progenitor. Indeed, the human father passes on his DNA code in a Y chromosome through a process of insemination where the woman is fertilized by the semen of the progenitor (see 5.6.3 Physical Process and 5.6.5 Genetic Laws). This process is completely physical. Consequently, this fatherhood is physical only. We can also see a process of creation / procreation without sexual insemination which consists of reproducing the progenitor directly without female. This process is a form of procreation called parthenogenesis. It was clearly established from the Bible that the spirit in man comes from the Father YHVH, the Supreme Creator (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). In that case, the Father Creator YHVH is the Spiritual Progenitor who is the source of all life, from which comes the spiritual fatherhood. It will be necessary to distinguish between 192
the temporary fatherhood of the mortal beings and the fatherhood of the immortal sons (see 5.12 Immortality). Oviously, the spirit of life created and granted to human beings does not include immortality, thus it must be distinguished from the Holy Spirit which gives immortality. In the case of Yahushua, the physical fertilization of Miryam (Mary) was made through the power of the Holy Spirit. The male Y chromosome corresponded to a theorical DNA code with the image of the Supreme Creator of the universe, Father YHVH. Obviously, Father YHVH possesses no physical DNA code nor a physical chromosome because He is immaterial. However, the Father Creator YHVH created this physical DNA code to correspond to His image and to His form. He implanted this Y chromosome and X chromosome to physically procreate Yahushua who confirmed many times that he was indeed the son of the Father YHVH, the Supreme Creator. Yahushua was also the son of man (humanity) through his surrugate mother Miryam. Thus, in his mother’s womb, Yahushua became the physically begotten son of the Father Creator YHVH through the power of the Holy Spirit. Once again, the Father Creator YHVH created a physical body from His image and from His form. This privilege had already been granted to the angel of YHVH, the Word who is the 1st creature who had been created with a physical code DNA corresponding to the image of the Father Creator (see 4.1 The Beginning of the Creation and 7.9 His Image). Yahushua's physical DNA code contained again the image of the invisible Father Creator YHVH who now made it visible in His son Yahushua. In the case of Yahushua, he only received his vital personal spirit from the Father Creator YHVH as all other men and other angels who have a physical DNA (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). Really, in his mother’s womb, Yahushua was the physical child directly of the Father Creator. That fact establishes Yahushua as the only son of the Creator Father YHVH. All the angels were created by the Father Creator but through a process of procreation (see 5.6.1 Primordial Procreation and 6.3 The Angels). This process of creation of the angels must be differentiated from the process of human procreation. For the creation of angels, the physical DNA code came from the first son called the Word by the miraculous intervention of the Father Creator YHVH. Father Creator created the other angels through His son, using his son's DNA code. Thus, the angels are called the sons of Ulhim and this Ulhim is the angel YHVH called the Word who came as the man Yahushua. Genesis 6:2 That the sons of El saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. This angel Ulhim is not the creator but only the physical progenitor and father. 193
This Ulhim angel is the biological physical father of Adam through his physical DNA code. Father YHVH is alone the Supreme Creator and the Spiritual Father of Adam and Eve. The genealogy in Luke confirms this physical Fatherhood (see 6.4.2 The Genealogy). Luke 3:38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God (Ulhim). Luke's genealogy above is completely biological and not spiritual. Adam is the biological son of the Ulhim who was in the garden with Adam. We should now know that the Father Creator YHVH is immaterial and invisible whom no man has ever seen. Adam did not see his Creator but only his progenitor in the garden, his Ulhim the angel also called YHVH like his Father YHVH. Adam cannot be the biological son of the Father YHVH because the Father Creator YHVH has exclusively directly begotten only the Word as His only son and Yahushua as man who is the image of his Father Creator (see 6.4.1 Only Son). Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God [Father Creator YHVH], the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. This son angel YHVH is the first-born of the creation through whom everything and all creatures were created (see 4.1 The Beginning of Creation). Thus, logically, Adam has to be the son of the Word who is the first-born of the creation, otherwise Adam would not be created through the Word. The Word is the first son of Father YHVH so that his Father YHVH could create everything including Adam, through His first son the Word. The Bible excludes logically such a direct fatherhood of the Creator Father YHVH on Adam so that the Word Yahushua be the first son of Father YHVH in all circumstances, in his human life as well as his preexistence in angelic life. As there is a physical fatherhood and so, there is a physical brotherhood (see 6.4.5 His Human Filiation).
5.8 Spiritual Fatherhood According to the structure of the creation and its 2 different aspects, i.e. the physical and the spiritual, we have to understand the concept of fatherhood in the creation. So, as Adam was our biologic father in our physical body, our 194
Creator Father YHVH El who gives us the spirit in our body, is our Spiritual Father. The Creator YHVH El is thus the Father of the spirits having the spiritual fatherhood (see 12.3 Spiritual Fatherhood). Hebrew 12: 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? As there is a spiritual fatherhood, so there is a spiritual brotherhood (see 6.4.6 His Celestial Filiation).

5.9 Diseases First, we must distinguish the diseases caused by the carelessness of corporations and individuals who cause the pollution and the systematic poisoning of the populations exposed to the toxic chemicals contained in the water, the food, the air, the modern building materials, etc. In our modern era, there are also diseases by exposure to electromagnetic or electronic or radioactive fields or others which kill slowly but certainly by cancer or other serious illnesses. According to sources in alternative medecine, many diseases may be caused by parasites in the human body. Curiously, the parasites are living beings who, like the unclean spirits, live in the living beings to make them sick and sometimes cause their death. There is a revealing parallel to be made between these 2 types of intruders. Recent discoveries demonstrate that some cancers could be caused by parasites and that these cancers can be cured by eliminating the parasites. It would not be surprising that the unclean spirits use the viruses and the other live bodies to move from an individual to another, just like contagious diseases. Besides, a recent discovery demonstrated that the blood could be cleansed by causing micro-currents to penetrate the blood stream and eliminate all viruses, parasites and unwanted bodies which cause all the diseases. Such a device was apparently tested on HIV positive individuals and they were cured according to the inventor. Other testimonies confirm the cure of cancers and other diseases (see http://www.sota.com/). It is also reported that cancers would be caused by systematic nutritional deficiencies. In particular, a deficiency of vitamin B17 would be an important factor in some cancers. We shall not speak here about diseases which are passed on voluntarily or involuntarily through products or legal drugs considered safe but which are really contaminated. There is a concept which explains several diseases. The Bible describes many times that the manifestations / possessions of unclean spirits as being the cause of certain diseases. Mark 1:34 Then He [Yahushua] healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him. Luke 8:2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities——Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, Luke 9:1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. Mark 6: 13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them. 196
Mark 3:10 For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him. 11 And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, … There are still several other verses which connect directly the diseases of human beings with the unclean spirits which occupy / possess the human beings. Even Paul confirms directly and clearly the cause of diseases because he was inflicted with a disease in his flesh himself in describing it as the presence of an angel of Satan in his flesh. 2Corinthians 12:7 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. These verses are clear and unmistakable that the unclean spirits cause diseases in the human beings. If we cannot explain all the physical and mental diseases, as the result of the presence of unclean spirits, we would certainly have covered an important part of the diseases. Yahushua explained himself the possession of human beings by unclean spirits or demons. Matthew 12:43 "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 "Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 "Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation." Mark 1:23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Yahushua of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are——the Holy One of God [Father Creator YHVH]!" 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" 26 And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. Mark 1:32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. 197
It is also necessary to distinguish between a physical disease and a mental illness. The latter would be more serious because the unclean spirit could affect or take control of the behavior of the individual or / and cause him severe problems. The mental illness can lead to complete demonic possession, to murder and suicide in extreme cases. We can hear the news reports in the different medias of hideous crimes which exceed the human normal behavior but which are the fruit of wicked demons who regrettably took over the individuals' control. The demonic possession is also proved by the phenomenon of reincarnation (see 5.13 The Reincarnation). Indeed, the unclean spirits can live in several persons successively and inform the possessed human being of past facts. The knowledge of such facts is due, not to the reincarnation of the human spirit, but to that of the unclean spirit. Such a phenomenon has given popularity to the false doctrine of the human reincarnation. There is also a prophecy which mentions that the country of Israel will be one day freed of diseases, i.e. of unclean spirits. Zechariah 13:1 "In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. 2 "It shall be in that day," says YHVH of hosts, "that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land. Exodus 23:25 "So you shall serve YHVH, your El, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. Deuteronomy 7:15 "And YHVH will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you. Revelation 22:2 In the middle of his street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruhis, each tree yielding his fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Even today, there are remedies found in nature. However, the knowledge of these remedies is gradually hidden by the big corporations which produce diluted remedies which do not really cure but which enrich the manufacturers. Human laws forbid even the use of natural products to benefit the large corporations which make lower-quality products of lesser efficiency.

5.9.1 Healing The Bible reveals that Yahushua received the power to heal all diseases. Luke 5:24 "But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins" - He said to the man who was paralyzed, "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." Moreover, not only he healed the sick but he raised the dead to life (Lazarus, a young man, the daughter of the leader of the synagogue, etc.). Yahushua also gave power to his disciples to heal the sick and to raise the dead. Matthew 10:1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. We can thus find several biblical texts where the disciples healed people and even raised the dead. Acts 9:36 At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did….40 But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. Faith is an important element which is required in healing. On several occasions, Yahushua mentioned the faith of the persons he healed. Matthew 8:13 Then Yahushua said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour. Matthew 9:22 But Yahushua turned around, and when He saw her He said, "Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour. Matthew 15:28 28 Then Yahushua answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour. Apparently, even Yahushua was not able to do many miracles in his own homeland because they lacked faith in him. Mark 6:4 4 But Yahushua said to them, "A prophet is not without 200
honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house." 5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching. Among his elect, Father YHVH has distributed divers gifts. 1Corinthians 12:28 28 And Creator Father has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. All the elect do not all have the gift to heal, neither all the gift to rule, nor all to speak several languages. John the Baptist had apparently accomplished no miracles, although Yahushua said about John that he was judged as a man of great spiritual power. Luke 7:28 "For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God [Father Creator YHVH] is greater than he." Thus there is among His elect just men whose prayers are effective to heal. Thus we are told to ask the elder among the elect to pray for us to obtain healing. James 5:14 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord [Yahushua]. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 1Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the LORD [Father YHVH] are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the LORD [Father YHVH] is against those who do evil." There are however circumstances where healing will not still be done at the time requested. We have the example of Paul who had the gift of healing the sick but also had a health problem. He asked Father Creator for his healing but he had to keep this messenger of Satan in his flesh to keep him humble. 2Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ [Yahushua] may rest upon me. 201
No matter how great is our faith, we shall continue to pray for the healing of the brethren and our own, knowing that all things concur to the good of those who love Father Creator and His son Yahushua. The faith is certainly an important element but faith is a gift from Father Creator in every case. Do the dead need faith to be resurrected ? Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God [Father Creator YHVH] has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 1Corinthians 12:8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, We thus know that Father Creator will heal and will resurrect all His people through His son Yahushua. The nations will all be healed during the millennium by means of the leaves of the tree of life in the garden (see 5.18 The Tree of Life). Revelation 22:2 In the middle of his street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding his fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

5.10 Flesh There is a concept by which there is a different body for the diverse beings having life. 1Corinthians 15:37 And that which you sow, you sow not that body that shall be, but bore grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But Creator Father gives it a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed [4690 sperma] his own body. The use of the Greek word sperma 4690 confirms the concept of the DNA code which contains the personal and transmissible attributes of the progenitor (see 5.6.5 The Genetic Laws). The human beings have now a decadent mortal body, not from the creation of Adam but after his fall because of sin. Sin entered the flesh with death. According to the Bible, Adam would still be alive today if he had not sinned. Genesis 2:17 "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." By thus speaking to Adam, it is clearly deducted that, if he did not eat from this forbidden tree, he would not die. Any other conclusion would make this warning totally illogical, pointless and useless. Indeed, it would be inconsistent to think that Adam would die all the same if he did not eat the fruit, that is, disobey. His flesh thus had the capacity to maintain life without having immortality intrinsically which only our Father Creator YHVH possesses. Adam's body had other attributes. Although Adam was mortal, he had continuous life without deterioration, just like the angels (see 5.5 Continuous Life). When we speak of a body, do we need to specify that it is physical ? Logically and in all circumstances, a spirit is not physical. A living body evidently has a physical attribute which the spirit does not possess. How can anyone pretend that the angelic celestial bodies are not physical? How can anyone remove the physical attribute from a body only because it belongs to an angel? 1Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies [4983 soma physical body] and terrestrial bodies [4983 soma physical body]; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. Then in the same way, the angels have physical bodies which have the capacity to maintain life if they do not sin, i.e. if they do not disobey and rebel against their Father Creator YHVH (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). The faithful angels still have their physical bodies whereas the fallen angels suffered the 1st death and lost their bodies (see 6.3.2 The Mortality of 204
Angels and 6.6 The Unclean Spirits). In speaking thus about celestial bodies, Paul spoke about bodies of the faithful angels and not about bodiless spirits. The verse above stipulates the source of the 2 kinds of body : the celestial and the earthly bodies. The celestial bodies were created in heaven whereas the earthly bodies were created on the earth from the dust of the ground. The definition of a body is physical and material (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). Regrettably, the whole humanity rejects this biblical concept and asserts that the angels are immaterial pure spirits, without physical bodies. Thus, most people directly reject the clear proof of Yahushua given to his disciples after his resurrection. Luke 24:39 "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." Why does the world believe men and reject the truth of Yahushua? If Yahushua has a physical immortal body of flesh and bones from his resurrection, logically, the angels do also (but without immortality). Necessarily, the angels have celestial bodies, i.e. they are physical, having a flesh which has the capacity to maintain life without deterioration, as Adam had at the beginning. Indeed, if Adam had this capacity at the beginning, i.e. before his disobedience, the faithful angels have this continuous life (see 5.5 Continuous Life). Besides, we must distinguish with the flesh, because it is written that flesh and the blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of YHVH. 1Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God [Father Creator YHVH]; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Who can be as clear and as trustworthy as Yahushua : a spirit is not flesh and bones ? Given that Yahushua has risen and received immortality and incorruptibility, he has inherited the Kingdom at his resurrection in his own body of flesh and bone. It becomes then evident that the distinction is made because of the blood. Logically, the blood is the element which is excluded from the Kingdom because the blood represents mortality, the wages and the sign of sin. In other words, mortal man cannot inherit the Kingdom in his mortal body but only at his physical resurrection in his body of flesh and bone made immortal and incorruptible. In the verse above, Yahushua showed himself to his followers in his physical body made immortal, being the heir of the Kingdom of Father YHVH after his resurrection. His statement as being physical of flesh and bones is irrefutable and corresponds to the vital structure of all living beings, i.e. a spirit in a body. Yahushua is Truth and he again revealed it to us concerning the structure of the human beings and his own as the perfect model. 205
206
5.10.1 The Will of the Flesh The Bible establishes clearly that the sinful body of flesh has a will or a mind distinct from the spirit of man. By introducing the concept of a flesh having its own mind, Paul admits that the flesh is capable of a will which is different from the thought of the spirit (see 5.14.1 Sheol). Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, Creator Father , sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: 7 because the mind of the flesh is enmity against Creator Father; for it is not subject to the law of Creator Father, neither indeed can it be: Romans 13:14 But put you on the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] Jesus Christ [messiah Yahushua], and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of Creator Father after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? … Galatians 5:16-21 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of Creator Father. This will of the flesh is clearly associated to Satan's will which is against the spirit and which is hostility against the will of the Father Creator. Thus, our spirit must 207
battle against the will of the flesh and thus battle against Satan's will who enticed Adam and all humanity (see 6.5.4 His Seed). Verse 3 above asserts that Yahushua had a flesh similar to that of sin. It is not possible to know to which point it was similar but certainly Yahushua lived according to the spirit and not according to the flesh, regardless how similar it was. His flesh was similar in the fact that his body had life in the blood and that he could die as the Passover lamb at the appointed time. Indeed, Yahushua died by pouring out his blood as a slaughtered lamb. As a man, he was mortal and subjected to the physical weaknesses of the human flesh with its bruises and, finally, with the 1st death. Yahushua was tempted like us in all things but he overcame. For our part, it is by means of the Holy Spirit and by the abundant grace of Father Creator that sin will have no victory over us. So, the flesh was condemned to death while the spirit of the elect receives the gift of immortality through the sacrifice of Yahushua. We should distinguish the seed of the fallen angels (nephilim) from Satan's mentality which has infected at its source the human flesh with sin and the thought of sin. Could we find the source of this evil thought in the human DNA code and thus in the seed? This question of Satan's seed remains rather mysterious but its destructive effects are clearly obvious since Adam's fall because it would bring humanity to its annihilation if it was not of the saving intervention of the Father Creator. As regard to the age allowed for man to live, there was an important decrease after the flood. Before the flood, men could live over 900 years, like Noah who lived to the age of 950 years. We see Abraham who lived 175 years; Isaac lived 180 years and Jacob lived 147 years after the flood. So, the interpretation of the verse according to which the age of man is limited to 120 years old is simply erroneous with the evidence of the 3 patriarchs above. Genesis 6:3 And YHVH said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Because of the angels' fornication and the fallen state of humanity, this verse was in fact a death sentence to fall 120 years after this declaration. Indeed, all living breathing beings on earth would be killed in the flood including the offspring of the fallen angels (nephilim), but Noah found grace and was saved with 7 other persons.
208
5.10.2 Control of Thoughts 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God [Creator Father], and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; In these verses, Paul raises a very important concept concerning thoughts. Paul suggested that we bring every thought to the obedience of Christ as if thoughts could be controlled. As mentioned in the previous section, the flesh has a will contrary to the spirit because it has been contaminated by sin according to the mentality of Satan. This influence of the thoughts of the flesh is not always apparent. At least, the influx of various thoughts during the day seems somewhat normal. However, one can notice more the problem of a lack of control of thoughts at the time that precedes sleep. Indeed, when we want to sleep, we can further note the influx of some thoughts incompatible with this time of rest and sleep. When we become conscious of these thoughts that keep us awake, we would like to stop them in order to promote sleep. It is in such moments that we can notice how difficult it is to block the seemingly random thoughts. If possible, it would need to stop the influx of all thoughts to allow sleep quickly. Some individuals may suffer from insomnia because they would suffer from an uncontrolled influx of thoughts at a high level of activity related to past or future actions. Although it may be considered as normal to have a high level of influx during the day, however, in many cases, normality is not necessarily good. The concept that Paul raised above has to do with our activities in the will of the Father Creator. Paul was aiming at the obedience to Christ and the commandments of the Creator Father. We should then become aware of the thoughts that come to our spirit and judge them immediately in the light of the will of the Father Creator and His commandments. As soon as that thought is judged to be inconsistent with the law of the Father Creator, it must be driven immediately from our spirit. Then we must immediately and consciously replace it with another thought consistent with the will of the Father Creator. So we need to become more aware of every thought that comes to our spirit to judge it quickly, to reject or to retain it, and thus, control our thoughts. The new spiritual man must take control of his physical body and manage all the thoughts that emanate from this body and from any other sources. Although he has symbolically died in baptism, the old man continues through the physical body, to make his carnal requests contrary to the will of the Father Creator. Indeed, the physical body has a will contrary to the spirit as the unconverted world and the old man are full of evil thoughts. Colossians 1:21 And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with Creator Father in your minds through evil works, he has now made one Colossians 2:18
Let no man take your reward from you by 209
consciously making little of himself and giving worship to angels; having his thoughts fixed on the things which he has seen, being foolishly lifted up in his natural mind, As Paul said, on the contrary, the new man must maintain consistent thoughts subject to the truth. We are all tempted by negative thoughts, but we must resist and refuse to entertain these thoughts. The same concept is associated with sin. Genessis 4:7 If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master. The same control must be applied to negative feelings which are merely a reaction to negative thoughts. In the world, this subject is becoming relevent among individuals who are awaking to the spiritual reality. Books are being written and discussions are taking place among such individuals.
210
5.11 Mortality This concept is very well known to us humans because we are subject to it all as mortal human beings. Some of us know that we are mortal because of the sin of Adam and Eve but also because of our own sins. Romans 6:23 Because the wages of sin, is death;... Apparently, although Adam was mortal, he would never have died if he had not disobeyed. Indeed, Adam was warned not to eat from the forbidden tree, otherwise, he would die. Logically, we have to recognize that Adam was mortal but he had continuous life without having immortality (see 5.5 Continuous Life and 5.12 Immortality). We have to make the distinction. But Adam died and the rest of humanity is subject to death. We have to understand what is the 1 st death to which we are subject. The 1st death is an unconscious sleep of the spirit until the resurrection (see 5.14 The 1st Death). What about the angels? According to certain teachings from so-called scholars, angels would be immortal. It is a false doctrine, contrary to the biblical evidence (see 6.3.1 The Mortality of Angels). The mortality of angels is again revealed to us by Yahushua who was formerly the angel of YHVH, called the Word (see 6.1 The Word, 6.2 Angel of YHVH and 6.4.4 The Preexistence of Yahushua). Because Yahushua was an angel before, he had to abandon his angelic life to live exclusively as a man and to die as a lamb without defect. Thus, his death as the lamb of YHVH, proves unmistakably that he was mortal, as a man and as an angel. According to all logic and possibilities, the angel of YHVH had to die as an angel to be alive only as the man Yahushua, otherwise, he would live simultaneously 2 lives in the same body. If he was an angel without a physical body, then he would have been a whole angel living in a man and there would have been thus 2 spirit entities in the same human body. In simple terms of the truth, the angel of YHVH had to abandon his angelic body, i.e. die, so that Father Creator did transfer his spirit in an embryo in the womb of a virgin. It is thanks to the physical Y chromosome created by the Father Creator that this embryo became the man Yahushua, the biologic son of the only True Creator YHVH. We now know that the spirit in man returns to Father YHVH who gave it (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). Yahushua demonstrates to us that the same vital structure applies to the angels (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of The Celestial Creatures). To claim that the angels are immortal immaterial spirits is false because only Father YHVH the Supreme Creator is immaterial and eternal pure Spirit. Such a false doctrine attempts to make angels equal in essence to the Father. Only the Heavenly 211
Father is exterior to His physical creation. This false doctrine has introduced other false doctrines such as the trinity and the equality of the son with the Heavenly Father, which is impossible, illogical and even contrary to the Bible. 1Timothy 6:15 … He [Father Creator YHVH] who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. John 4:24 God [Father Creator YHVH] is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The fallen angels did not escape the penalty of sin. For the rebellious angels, we see that there is a different situation from men. At the physical death of the disobedient angels, their spirits were not allowed to return to the Father Creator YHVH in heaven because they were cast out from heaven as unclean. Thus, some are on the earth in survival mode in humans in whom they live or possess, while some others are apparently imprisoned into chains of darkness (see 6.6 The Unclean spirits). Jude 1:6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; In truth, the Bible clearly explains that the angels were as mortal as Adam but they had, as Adam, continuous life yet without having immortality. Yahushua is the one who reveals to us this truth through his own death. Indeed, we must know that Yahushua had a preexistence as the Angel of YHVH called the Word (see 6.4.3 The Preexistence of Yahushua). Can we refute that he died? He prophesied that he would be dead during 3 days and 3 nights. Some people assert that he went preaching to the spirits somewhere else during these 3 days. What an impossible story! If Yahushua was not dead as he said, he would not be the acceptable sacrifice but he did die. Now, Yahushua is risen from the dead and has received immortality. He is the first one and the only creature to have an immortal and incorruptible body at present. By committing his spirit to his Father at the time of his death, he could not go anywhere to preach without his spirit in his body. Satan has also died and as an unclean spirit without a body, he was thus able to enter Judas Iscariot to possess him and betray Yahushua (see 6.5.3 His Death). We can also read where Yahushua told Peter 'back off Satan' because Satan had entered Peter to inspire him contrary thoughts (Matt. 16:23 and Mark 8:33). Today, Satan must certainly possess a human being (natural or cloned) to act in the affairs this world as the Ulhim of this world (Rev.16:13). 212
In conclusion, mortality was placed in all living beings even if they had continuous life. In case of sin, the death penalty would be applied according to the just judgment of our Father Creator. The fallen human beings possess life in the blood in a decaying flesh (see 5.10 The Flesh). Yahushua received from his Father the power to die and the power to resurrect. For our Creator Father YHVH, the 1 st death is only a sleep and all will be resurrected one day with continuous life to receive immortality depending on the resurrection. That is why Yahushua spoke about human death as sleep. John 11:11 These things He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up." But as it is clearly written, the perfect plan of our Creator Father YHVH is to complete his creation and to destroy even death. 1Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

213
5.12 Immortality First of all, we must understand or otherwise simply know that Only the Father Creator YHVH possesses intrinsically eternal life and He alone is the Source of life. 1Timothy 6:16 [Father Creator YHVH] who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. This verse speaks about the Father Creator, about the Only Creator YHVH whom no man has seen nor can see (except the resurrected immortal man Yahushua). Thus, this verse excludes Yahushua the messiah who is the 1 st creation of the Father Creator because some people have seen Yahushua as the angel of YHVH and as the man Yahushua. This means that the Father Creator YHVH has always lived and will always live according to a concept of infinite time which is not accessible to us, limited beings. However, our Father Creator YHVH has prepared a plan through which He will grant immortality to His creatures. Eternity is a concept which has no beginning nor an end whereas immortality allows a beginning but no end. The angels received continuous life but not immortality. Thus, they live without deterioration if they do not sin (see 5.5 Continuous Life). Logically, the loyal angels will also receive immortality according to the perfect plan of our Father Creator YHVH to form one great family. In the same way as the absence of life is death, the absence of death is immortality. When the grave and death will be destroyed, immortality will be the direct consequence except for those who will be cast in the lake of fire. At present, the only created living being to possess immortality is Yahushua who was resurrected as the new man of the new creation and the first son of the Father Creator ( Voir 6.4.1 The Only Son et 6.13 the New Man). When the plan of our Father Creator will be completed in perfection, and when His creatures will be made perfect in the truth, as His Spirit born children, then the last enemy will be destroyed and the consequence will be immortality for all His creatures who will have agreed to obey Him perfectly (see 5.16 Born Again). 1Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. We also must recognize that immortality is only granted through the Holy Spirit which constitutes the seed with the spiritual DNA code of the Father Creator (see 7.8 The Holy Spirit). Even Yahushua had not immortality as the Word but only continuous life (see 5.5 Continuous Life). Yahushua received immortality with the Holy Spirit only at his resurrection because he died with the Holy Spirit. Also, all those who have died or who will die with the Holy Spirit, will be resurrected, as 214
Yahushua, to receive immortality and attributes of the Father Creator. Yahushua is in all things our perfect example, having shown the way in which we should follow. John 14:6 Yahushua said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Yahushua was baptized and he then received the Holy Spirit. Then he died and then, he was resurrected in flesh and bones, to receive immortality from his Father according the the Wave Omer Offering in heaven (see 10.5 The Wave Omer Offering). Thus, he was showing us the normal sequence of the spiritual procreation leading to immortality. Immortality comes from the Father Creator who gives it to those who are spiritually born, which Yahushua described as being born again born and born from the Spirit. John 3:5 Jesus [ Yahushua] answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Creator Father. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. This spiritual birth is the ultimate spiritual procreation through which the Father Creator YHVH reproduces and shares certain attributes with His children born from the Spirit (see 5.16 Born Again). This spiritual procreation occurs exclusively after the resurrection, at the change described by Paul as occuring in a twinkling of an eye. Among these attributes, there is an immortality but there is also an incapacity to sin, i.e. to act against the perfect laws and will of Father Creator who is infinite Love. 1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of Creator Father doth not commit sin; for his seed [4690 sperma] remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of Creator Father. The Greek word 4690 sperma confirms that this birth corresponds to the spiritual procreation from the spiritual DNA code of the Father Creator, that is of His Holy Spirit which passes on His spiritual attributes according to the known genetic laws. The DNA code passes on the physical attributes of the biologic father whereas the spiritual DNA code passes on the spiritual attributes of the Father Creator among which there is immortality.

5.13 Reincarnation The on-line encyclopedia defines reincarnation as follows: Reincarnation best describes the concept where the soul or spirit, after the death of the body, is believed to return to live in a new human body, or, in some traditions, either as a human being, animal or plant. End of quote. According to the testimony of several persons, there is apparently a real phenomenon by which individuals remember/know events and/or past persons prior to their birth. Some explain this phenomenon by the doctrine of the reincarnation of human beings. This doctrine is actually very popular in all the planet, apparently among millions of persons. However, the Bible is clear to explain that when a human being dies, his spirit returns immediately to the Father Creator YHVH who gave it (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit, 5.4 A Spirit in a Body and 5.14 The 1st Death). Ecclesiastes 12:6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well. 7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God [Father Creator YHVH] who gave it. Given that the spirit in man returns inevitably and immediately to the Father Creator YHVH who gave it, this real phenomenon of reincarnation does not concern the spirit of man. In fact, Yahushua the messiah gave us the explanation of this phenomenon which concerns only the unclean spirits. Matthew 12:43 43 "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 "Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 "Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation." The house in question here is the body of the man. Yahushua explains to us that the spirits of the fallen angels move from a person to another according to their needs and the opportunities which they have. Contrary to the spirit of man which, at his death, returns to Father YHVH, the spirits of the dead fallen angels cannot return to heaven because they were cast out as unclean (see 6.6 The Unclean spirits and 5.14 The 1st Death). 217
Revelation 12:7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Thus, lacking physical bodies, we can then understand that these unclean spirits can 'dwell’ with / in a person until his death. However, at the death of the person who was their house, the unclean spirits must find another comfortable place of residence, i.e. another live person where this spirit can live all his life or part. Again, when this person comes to die also, the unclean spirit loses again his place of residence. Again, he looks for another dwelling place, i.e. another live person. The unclean spirits can choose another adult but also a young child. The unclean spirits must thus move continually because of the death of the human beings which they occupy (or possess, as the case may be). These unclean spirits are entities which have a memory and who thus remember themselves of past very distant events. They can thus share this information with the spirit of the individual wherein they live and even speak themselves, and so, we have persons who quote or describe events from distant pasts. Reincarnation is thus a doctrine issued from the demonic possession which is dissimulated behind mental diseases with the complicity of modern medicine. The unclean spirits have been doing this strategy since they were cast out of heaven. They have thus succeeded to persuade men of this false doctrine of the reincarnation of human beings and thus propagate the false doctrine of the immortal soul. The doctrine of reincarnation is false as regards human beings but it is true as regards the unclean spirits. We can thus have contact with unclean spirits who live in human beings. Certain persons chosen by the unclean spirits, called medium, may act as their intermediaries to pass on information stemming from the past and falsely taking the identity of dead human beings. Also, they could simply be frauds. These unclean spirits maintain this false belief that the dead human beings did not really die. The lie which they want to impose is the same as Satan's first lie through which he deceived Eve in the garden of Eden. Satan said to her: you will not die if you eat the forbidden fruit. While the angel of YHVH had warned them that they would die, they disobeyed and they died. It is the same lie which the unclean spirits want to continue even today by this false doctrine of the human reincarnation. The Bible clearly says that the dead human beings are not conscious but they will return to life through a resurrection according to the perfect plan of our Creator YHVH (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection). Only in a few cases, the Bible describes a means used by the Father Creator 218
which would be strictly a 2nd incarnation and not a repetitive reincarnation as taught by the world. Such as clearly revealed by the messiah Yahushua, he was in his preexistence the being called Ulhim in the garden of Eden, the first created son called also the Word (see 6.4.4 His Preexistence). His human life as the messiah Yahushua is effectively a reincarnation. Evidently, his spirit which lived in an angel's celestial body was transferred into the human embryo to become the man Yahushua (see 6.4.5 His Human Filiation). Another possibility is perceived with the spirit of Elijah who was in John the Baptist. Luke 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.... 17 And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him. Thus, John the Baptist would have received the spirit of Elijah from the womb of his mother and the Holy Spirit also. Luke 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. Furthermore, we must consider the resurrection as being a reincarnation which is however limited to only once. It is written well that a man dies once and then will come the judgment in the resurrection. Hebrew 9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;

5.14 The 1st Death What is death? What happens when an individual dies? The question is referring here to the death which happens to mortal men, i.e. the 1 st death. We must distinguish from the 2nd death (see 5.15 The 2nd Death and 11.7.3 The Lake of Fire). The Bible indeed answers this question. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. Psalms 6:55 For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks? Isaiah 38:18 For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth. Ecclesiastes 12:5 Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets. 6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well. 7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to Creator Father who gave it. The dead are thus unconscious, nor have conscious memory, nor wisdom, nor activities as the living beings on the earth but are as in a sleep without dreams. Man was created as a physical being or physical soul from the dust of the earth and he lives with the breath of life and the spirit of life (see 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). Genesis 2:7 And YHVH El formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (5315 nephesh soul). Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return." Psalms 104:29 You hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. Man is a living physical soul (5315 nephesh), i.e. a living being like animals who have physical bodies (see 5.3 The Soul). Genesis 1:20 Then El said, "Let the waters abound with an 221
abundance of living creatures <05315 nephesh >, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens." Genesis 1:24 Then El said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature <05315 nephesh > according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. We should not confuse the false doctrine of the immortal soul with the spirit in man which returns to Father YHVH who gave it (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). This false doctrine confuses the word soul and the word spirit which returns to the Father Creator in a completely unconscious sleep. Thus, this spirit is not conscious and autonomous any more as the false doctrine of immortality would pretend. The living soul is thus a physical living being with a spirit. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God [Father Creator YHVH] who gave it. When a man dies, he loses contact with the creation around him and the spirit in him leaves the body and returns to Father YHVH YHVH who gave it. Without the physical senses, the spirit is disconnected from the physical creation and it is led in its place of rest with the Father Creator but unconsciously. The body returns to dust. These 2 essences separate from each other because they are completely different (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). A few Bible versions translate death as giving up the spirit, which means that the spirit leaves the body. Job 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost. Jeremiah 15:9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith YHVH. This concept is confirmed by Yahushua as he died on the stake saying he was committing his spirit to his Father. Luke 23:46 And Yahushua gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit. Yahushua confirms also that the spirit in man returns to the Father of spirits, the Father Creator who gave it. Death is thus the separation of the physical body and the immaterial spirit. Thus, the 1st death is a period of unconscious waiting, either for the 1 st resurrection, or 222
for the 2nd resurrection. The sheol is a concept where the dead go and their DNA codes are preserved in all cases for the physical resurrection which will restore the same DNA code (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection). We could also compare the sheol to some kind of sorting where the spirits of the dead go through before being directed towards their place of rest, either to Father YHVH in heaven for men, or under the earth for animals, or towards darkness for certain dangerous fallen angels, or on the earth for the other fallen angels (see see 6.16 Animals, 6.6 The Unclean spirits and 5.13 Reincarnation). In several verses, Yahushua speaks about the 1 st death as sleep because the Father Creator foresees the resurrection of all, being capable of giving life back to the spirit in an identical physical body. Matthew 9:24 He said to them, "Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping." And they ridiculed Him. Mark 5:39 When He came in, He said to them, "Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping." Luke 8:52 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping." Even in the case of Lazarus, Yahushua had to explain that Lazarus was indeed dead after having said that he was sleeping. John 11:11 11 These things He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up." 12 Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps he will get well." 13 However, Yahushua spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Yahushua said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead. Thus, the 1st death is not an eternal death but only a temporary sleep. Yahushua confirms that Father YHVH is not the El of the dead but of the living. Matthew 22:32 ‘I am the God [El] of Abraham, the God [El] of Isaac, and the God [El] of Jacob’? God [El] is not the God [El] of the dead, but of the living." As regards to the fallen angels, they are subjected to the wages of sin and are not immortal. Romans 6:23 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God [Father Creator YHVH] is eternal life in Christ Yahushua our Lord. The angels had to be mortal also to undergo the wages of sin (see 6.3.2 The Mortality of Angels). The angels who sinned had to undergo the penalty and die also. We know that Father Creator makes no favorites. We can deduct that the fallen angels have already undergone part of the 1 st death because of their 223
disobedience, thanks to the explanations of Yahushua (see 6.6 The Unclean spirits). As Adam who lived some 930 years after his disobedience, the fallen angels did not die at once, i.e. they did not lose their physical bodies immediately at the time of the rebellion. The rebel angels were cast down to earth as unclean. Their unclean spirits did not return to Father YHVH to obtain rest as men but being without their own bodies, they look for rest and they take up human and animal living beings to live there and survive with some comfort. Thus, they have not fully died like human beings do.
5.14.1 Sheol Hades Sheol or hades is a concept which raises many questions. We find 69 verses with this term. In Hebrew, the word sheol 07585 and in Greek, the word hades 86, are translated by several terms such as hell, the grave, etc. Here are some verses. Numbers 16:33 So they and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol [07585 sheol], and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly. Acts 2:27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption. Acts 2:31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. Jonah 2:2 saying, “I called out to YHVH, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. In particular, verse 2 above suggests that Jonah or a part of Jonas cried to Father Creator for his deliverance. Knowing that the spirit in man returns to the Father Creator from the very moment of death, there is apparently another concept to be considered in these verses. The following verse confirms that Abel's life was crying out from the ground where the blood still seems to be alive. Genesis 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. Here is a 1st explanation from Paul who said that the physical body constitutes an entity different from the spirit in man. Romans 8:6 To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on 224
the flesh is hostile to Father Creator, for it does not submit to Father Creator’s law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please Father Creator. The human body seems to contain another will or entity opposed to the will of the Father Creator. Indeed, the flesh has a separate independent thought according to verse 6 above. In contrast to the human spirit, animals have a spirit which does not return to the Father Creator but rather which goes into the ground according to Solomon in the following verse. Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth? Precisely, the following verse suggests that this carnal entity in man lives with the spirit of man but opposes the good. 1 Corinthians 2:14 The natural [carnal] person does not accept the things of the Spirit of Creator Father, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. Romans 7:19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of Creator Father, in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to Father Creator through Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] our Lord [2962 kurios YHVH]! So then, I myself serve the law of Creator Father with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. Another concept can be associated to the period of 3 days and 3 nights in Jonah's sign (see 11.03.6 Jonah's Sign). Based on the fact that Yahushua was resurrected after 3 days and 3 nights without having suffered physical corruption, we could conclude that it is the period of time when a physical body may remain dead before the beginning of the corruption. The story concerning Lazarus seems to confirm this hypothesis because the corruption was already begun on or after the 4th day. John 11:17 Now when Jesus [Yahushua] came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. John 11:39 Jesus [Yahushua] said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there 225
will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.” What additional difficulty for the Father Creator would have the duration of the time of the death of a human body in the resurrection? In other words, is it more difficult for the Father Creator to resurrect a body recently dead or a physical body completely decimated by corruption? Obviously, there is no additional difficulty for the Father Creator. However, independently of the physical corruption, there is a question of a spirit or a will or a carnal or animal entity which dwells in the sheol or hades. We can only ask these questions which remain without definitive answers because of insufficient details. Besides, according to the relevant verses, sheol is a unique and different place which we do not fully understand. Indeed, sheol will be cast in the lake of fire as a single object. Sheol served as a dwelling place grouping together all the dead. So, sheol was beforehand emptied of its dead. Could it be a place that is holding the DNA codes of all the dead ? Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. We have read that remembrance is absent in sheol. Psalms 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise? Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going. How can we reconcile these verses which assert on the one hand that Jonah cried to Father YHVH from sheol and on the other hand, the verses which assert that there is no remembrance anymore in sheol ? How could Jonah cry to Father YHVH if he did not remember any more? An explanation is relative to the corruption which begins on the 4th day. In theory, the body would possess a residual physical memory different from the spirit which returned to Father YHVH. This memory would be engraved in the physical material of the brain and would persist for 3 days and 3 nights and would deteriorate after this period, i.e. it would be destroyed by the process of corruption. Thus, Jonah's body was able to cry to Father YHVH from the fish during 3 days to be resurrected finally at the end of the 3rd day, just like Yahushua was resurrected following the same period. That is why we may read that individuals have welcomed Satan in sheol because they recently died and still have a functional memory. 226
When the dead welcomed Satan in sheol, is it only symbolicaly or have these dead bodies recently entered sheol being still conscious for 3 days ? Isaiah 14:9 Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come; it rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth; it raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations. 10 All of them will answer and say to you: ‘You too have become as weak as we! You have become like us!’ Because of doubtful translations and\or of erroneous interpretations, we must admit our ignorance concerning certain concepts. We should continue to search for the Truth but certain details are not requirements for salvation and consequently, they may remain without answer while waiting for our final and eternal deliverance.

5.15 The 2nd Death This concept of the 2nd death is associated with the lake of fire (see 11.7.3 The Lake of Fire). It is a difficult concept to understand because death Hitself will be cast in the lake of fire which is the 2nd death. Revelation 2:11 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death."’ Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God [Father Creator YHVH] and of Christ [Yahushua], and shall reign with Him a thousand years. Revelation 20:14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 21:8 "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." These verses above suggest that the lake of fire can destroy as well virtual or spiritual concepts as physical individuals and objects. Yahushua confirms that even the spirit can be destroyed in this fire in the following verse. Please note that the soul is mistranslated in contrast to its definition in the old testament (see 5.3 The Soul). Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul [spirit]: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul [spirit] and body in hell. We could imagine 2 possibilities. ETERNAL DEATH The concept which is deducted from the literal reading of the texts attributes to the 2nd death the cessation of all existence, all traces, all consciousness and all memory. Indeed, the word death normally represents the concept of unconsciousness and destruction. The body, the spirit and the memory would thus be destroyed in the lake of fire as being the 2 nd death, i.e. the complete, final and eternal death without consciousness. Matthew 10:28 "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy 228
both soul [spirit] and body in hell. How can we logically conceive the 2nd death? At first, we notice the 1st death as being a temporary cessation of conscious life. This life can start again only with a physical resurrection (see 5. 17 The Physical Resurrection). According to the same logical concept, the 2nd death would also be a cessation of life as verse 28 above confirms. Also, a resurrection would be required to restore the life after the lake of fire. That the lake of fire may be a fire that destroys totaly (incinerator) is not the only determining element. It is rather the fact whether it is described as the 2nd death which is more important. Indeed, what resurrection is foreseen after the 2nd death? We could admit the possibility that Satan may be resurrected from the 2nd death (the lake of fire) in the 2 nd resurrection. On the other hand, what other resurrection would be available for those who will be already resurrected in the 2nd resurrection and who would be afterward cast in the lake of fire ( the 2nd death)? We find in the Bible no preliminary indication for a 3rd resurrection to life because the 2nd resurrection already included all those who had already died. Could we imagine people who would be resurrected twice ? To change the literal meaning of the biblical texts, it would be completely necessary to exclude the concept of death in the 2nd death. The 2nd death would have to be no death at all but it has to be another process which preserves life. Such a process remains to be defined outside of the logic of the texts. The One who can completely destroy life with its consciousness for ever, is the Father Creator YHVH, the Supreme Judge YHVH. Only He can decide on the total and eternal destruction of a creature because He is the Supreme Creator. SPIRITUAL PURIFICATION WITHOUT ETERNAL DEATH Another interpretation was proposed because of the great mercy of our Supreme Father Creator YHVH, of His omniscience and His omnipotence. Did He foresee a concept of a fire which would be a purification of the entities or the spirits? An ultimate purification which would destroy all evil but which would protect the spirit cleansed of any evil intention? The salvation of all would thus be obtained for each of his children, without exception, even of the fallen angels and Satan. This depends on the only True Creator YHVH Father YHVH alone who knew the future from the beginning. That is why, we find in the inspired Scriptures none of the angels, attributing a final judgment of eternal condemnation on anyone because such a judgment belongs only to the Father Creator YHVH or to His son Yahushua by delegation. If Satan would possibly repent through the lake of fire, would the sacrifice of Yahushua be still sufficient in the eyes of our Father Creator YHVH? Would the mercy of our Father Creator be already exhausted? 1Corinthians 3:15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Is it possible that the lake of fire and the 2 nd death represent the death and the 229
destruction of all wickedness and the final purification and the salvation of the wicked who would have repented, men and angels? Such a mercy is certainly possible with our Father Creator YHVH.

5.16 Born Again What does this expression mean, to be again born? Several so-called modern Christians assert having been born again as soon as they claim to receive the Holy Spirit. What can we understand from the following verses ? John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Yahushua by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from Creator Father; for no one can do these signs that You do unless Creator Father is with him." 3 Yahushua answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [gennao 1080] again, he cannot see the kingdom of Creator Father." 4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born [gennao 1080] when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?" 5 Yahushua answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [gennao 1080] of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of Creator Father. 6 "That which is born [gennao 1080] of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born [gennao 1080] of the Spirit is spirit. 7 "Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." 1Peter 1:23 having been born [gennao 1080] again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of Creator Father which lives and abides forever, 1John 5:18 We know that whoever is born [gennao 1080] of Creator Father does not sin; but he who has been born [gennao 1080] of Creator Father keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are of Creator Father, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. 20 And we know that the Son of Creator Father has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah]. This is the true Creator Father and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. 1John 3:6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as 231
He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Creator Father was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been begotten [gennao 1080] of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of Creator Father. According to James Strong's dictionnary, the Greek word gennao 1080 means begeting or being born. The context should dictate which one should be used. In all the biblical translations of the above verses, the Greek word genneo 1080 has been translated in different ways, thus creating confusion. In this case, it is not only the context but also the belief and understanding of the translators which determined which translation would be used. Nevertheless, in the genealogy of Yahushua (Matthieu 1:2-16) and elsewhere, the word gennao 1080 is translated by begotten or to beget up to 25 times depending on the versions. How then can we make the distinction in all the verses of the new testament between begetting and being born to know the correct translation, the correct interpretation and the true doctrine? It is nevertheless important to make this distinction because there is a fundamental difference between the 2 terms which are not interchangeable. Indeed, all the born beings were all begotten first but all the begotten beings are not all born. All living beings were procreated, even the angels. If the current translations are not clear enough to know the correct and true term because of a context dictated by a preestablished belief, then, it will be necessary to use coherence and logic to determine the correct translation (see 2.8 Coherence and Logic and 2.12 Method of Biblical study). It is the constant challenge always before us with all these imperfect biblical translations from which examples are shown in the section 2.6 Difficult Verses. What information do we have to know the exact and correct spiritual process? We must examine the physical process which precedes and which allows us to understand the spiritual process. In the case of the physical human procreation, there is a fertilization of the ovum followed by the growth of the embryo during the period of gestation of 9 months until the maturity and the birth itself (see 5.6.2 The Physical Process). In the case of the spiritual procreation in man by the Holy Spirit, what happens ? Some people assert that the birth takes place as soon as the Holy Spirit enters the man. It would then be a creation without a procreation and without a gestation period, which is impossible and illogical. According to this hypothesis, there would be no period of spiritual gestation. Therefore, is it coherent and logical to have no spiritual gestation nor any procreation? Our master Yahushua who is our perfect example, was begotten by the Holy 232
Spirit after his baptism. Matthew 3:16 And Yahushua, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of Creator Father descending like a dove, and lighting upon him. Hebrew 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten [1080] thee. The translation of the Greek word gennao 1080 of this verse above is begotten and not born, in most of the available versions. We can then understand that Yahushua was begotten by receiving the holy Spirit, the seed of the Father but that he was not born yet. The verse clearly says that the Father has spiritually begotten Yahushua by giving him His Holy Spirit. Yahushua was not born again on that day. Yahushua spoke about 2 births or procreations, a physical one and a spiritual one, one of the flesh and another one of the Spirit (John 3:6). According to the aforementioned verses, what attributes are granted to the spiritual newborn child? 1) He can see Father Creator's kingdom (John 3:3) 2) He can enter Father Creator's kingdom (John 3:5) 3) He does not sin (1John 5:18) 4) The evil one does not touch him (1John 5:18) 5) He cannot sin (1John 3:9) Thus, the one who is born from the Holy Spirit possesses these 5 attributes above. Which man having the Holy Spirit fulfilled these conditions? Yahushua would be the only man to fulfill some conditions although Yahushua was killed on the stake. Yet not having been born, although he had the Holy Spirit, Yahushua was mortal and the evil one could touch him and in fact, Satan did succeed to kill him. The 2nd condition which Yahushua could not fullfill as human being of flesh and blood is his entry to the kingdom of his Father because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom. In his resurrection and having gone up to heaven to his Father, he received immortality and the birthright to receive all authority over the creation. What other man was able to fullfill these conditions? Nobody. In the case of men, it is written that no single man has lived without sinning. Romans 3:23 Because all sinned and are deprived of the glory of Creator Father; We know that we sin even if we have the Holy Spirit in us. To say the opposite would simply be to lie. 233
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. … 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. The annual washing of feet at Passover reminds us that we are in touch with the unclean things of this world (see 10.3.4.2 The Washing of Feet). Thus, because we sin, we cannot even have been born again nor from the spirit but we were only begotten by the Spirit. No man can be perfect in this body of flesh and blood. With the reception of the Holy Spirit, we are begotten as a new creature: it is this new internal man who grows until maturity. 2 Corinthians 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. The child in gestation in the womb of his mother is certainly the child begotten by his father, even if he is not born yet. Romans 8:15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of Creator Father: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of Creator Father, and joint-heirs with Christ [messiah Yahushua]; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, Creator Father has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. We are joint heirs but we shall receive our inheritance after the 1st resurrection. Galatians 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; As long as we are in this body of flesh and blood, we cannot inherit, nor see, nor enter Father Creator's kingdom. 1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Creator Father; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. The discovery of the DNA system (desoxyribonucleic acid) reveals to us the greatness of the power and the wisdom of our Father Creator YHVH. This DNA code would contain every menute detail of our human body. So, the same system is at the basis of every living beings. It is understood that the process of the human procreation uses these DNA codes of the father and of the mother to arrive at a completely unique combination but in the image of the biologic parents. 234
Another important aspect in this process is that the forming of an embryo is initiated by the semen of the father in the ovum of the mother. It is the equivalent of depositing a seed in the ground so that a plant specimen takes life and grows until maturity. The sower of the grain has a role and the earth supplies the physical nutriments which will be transferred to the new creation. The rain which falls at the proper time also plays an essential role. But the One who makes it grow has the most important role. 1Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but Creator Father gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but Creator Father that gives the increase. 8 Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are laborers together with Creator Father: you are Creator Father’s husbandry, you are Creator Father’s building. What we call the miracle of human life, is done by our Father Creator YHVH. If this process of human procreation is understood well, we can then see the analogy which exists with the spiritual procreation. As there is a physical DNA code , there is also a spiritual DNA code . This spiritual DNA code would be the detailed description of the spiritual attributes, the spiritual talents, the psychological characteristics, the behavior, the natural tendencies, etc. Even if this DNA code existed only in ' the memory ' of the Father Creator, the pedagical usage of this DNA code may help us to understand. The Holy Spirit contains the spiritual DNA code of the Father Creator, i.e. His nature and immortality which only the Father possesses (see 7.8 The Holy Spirit). 1 Timothy 6:16 [Father Creator] 16 Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach to; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen. The one who only possesses intrinsically immortality in the verse above is the Father Creator and not the son Yahushua whom some people saw, before and after his resurrection. As well as the physical semen of the biologic father introduces the physical life of the embryo in the mother, also the Holy Spirit in man introduces the spiritual life with the deposit of immortality. It is the spiritual DNA code of the Eternal Father which is united with this spirit in man when the Holy Spirit enters the man (see 5.6.4 The Spiritual Process). In that case, only the Father contributes to the spiritual genetic contents because there is no spiritual mother. Nevertheless, the brothers and the sisters in Yahushua, these new begotten creatures which form the spiritual Church, must exhort each other and edify the others within (see 11.3.2 The Church). 235
The spirit of the man having the Holy Spirit at the time of His death, take with him this immortality, so that this man will be resurrected in a physical body and will receive immortality which comes from the Eternal Father. The 1 st death is the wages of sin for some but others will not die but all will be changed in a twinkling of an eye. This change in a twinkling of an eye corresponds to this new birth about which Yahushua spoke. John 3:3 Jesus [ Yahushua] answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Creator Father. 1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Creator Father; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. In the 1st resurrection, the dead will receive a physical body and in a twinkling of an eye, all will receive spiritual incorruptibility and immortality. The spiritual incorruptibility is this capacity not to sin any more. It is granted at this moment which the apostle Paul qualifies as a twinkling. 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.... 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. immortality, then will come true the word which is written, The death was gobbled up in victory. This capacity not to sin any more is added to the physical incorruptibility which is immortality in a physical body. Then, the Holy Spirit in them, will be the source of life and of the perfect will of the Father Creator which was also present in the firstborn Yahushua. Having been born again, physically and spiritually, they will see and they will be in the kingdom of Father YHVH. In fact, if Father Creator wants it, we shall be a part of it to reign as kings with Yahushua, king of kings on the earth. Then, we shall be incapable to sin, i.e. incapable disobeying the Father Creator because we shall be in perfect and narrow spiritual communion with the Father of the spirits. 1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of Creator Father doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of Creator Father. Hebrew 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much 236
rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? We must again distinguish between procreation and birth which comes after a period of gestation. In summary, the one who is born from the Spirit will have, besides the above mentioned attributes, Father Creator's attributes as follows: 1) Physical incorruptibility which is immortality 2) The image of the Father Creator in a body similar to that of Yahushua 3) The access to supernatural powers granted by Father Creator 4) all other attributes which cannot be at present determined Yahushua did not have these attributes intrinsically during his human life on earth. The one who is born from the Spirit also receives, as Yahushua, his part of inheritance of the kingdom. One cannot receive these things in his physical body (made of flesh, of bones and of blood with the spirit) but in His new physical body at the resurrection (of flesh and bone with the Spirit) like Yahushua. This spiritual birth is the final goal of the Father Creator who is reproducing Himself (see 7.14 His Re production and 7.15 His Ultimate Purpose).
5.16.1 The Change in a Twinkling There is a change which Paul describes as being accomplished in a twinkling of an eye. It is the change from mortal to immortal and from corruptible to incorruptible after the 1st resurrection which is physical (see 11.11 The 1st Resurrection and 5.17 The Physical Resurrection). 1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. Indeed, the resurrection is for the dead in Christ, for those who are sleeping. Those who are still alive at Yahushua's return will be simply changed from their mortal body into an incorruptible and immortal body. Among those who will be still alive at Yahushua's return, there are 144000 individuals who will have been sealed at the 6th seal and the other saints who will also be gathered with the 237
resurrected saints in the 1st resurrection on the last day. The 144000 saints will be gathered with Yahushua on the clouds from the advent of Yahushua on the clouds at the beginning of the sounding of the 7th trumpet (see 11.4.7 The 144000 on The clouds). Revelation 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Creator Father in their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. We thus must admit a separation in the time between the resurrection and the final change which is the birth of the spirit called also the birth from the Father. 1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of Creator Father overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. Yahushua was resurrected at the end of the Sabbath and he then went up to heaven on the next day which is the 1 st day of the week at the 3rd hour to his Father Creator to receive incorruptibility and immortality (see 6.4.8 His Resurrection and 10.5 The Wave Omer Offering). This time period between the mortal physical resurrection and the change to immortality can vary according to the resurrection but it is real. Verse 52 of Corinthians 15 above makes it clear that the change will take place at the last trumpet. At first thought, the last trumpet would be the 7 th trumpet. However, on the last day which is a Day of Atonement, a shophar will be sounded to mark the year of jubilee or if necessary, the year of release. The sound of the shophar thus adds onto the sound of the 7 th trumpet which will sound for a few days (see 11.4.6 The 7th Trumpet). The change will take place at the 7 th trumpet and at the sound of the shophar which will ring simultaneously on the last day.
5.17 The Physical Resurrection The doctrine of the physical resurrection is clearly established in the Bible. 238
Whether it is the 1st or the 2nd resurrection, it is physical, i.e. with a body of flesh and bone. Paul understood this resurrection by asserting that our present physical body would undergo a physical change where this physical body will receive immortality and incorruptibility. 1Corinthians 15:43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is a physical body which will receive immortality and incorruptibility. This body will not undergo a process of evaporation nor a disappearance of the physical atoms of the body but it will remain physical as proven by the resurrection of Yahushua (see 6.4.8 his Resurrection). However, certain individuals and so-called scholars, add to the Bible, by adding a fictitious transformation of the physical body to an immaterial pure spirit, against all the biblical proofs (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). The 2nd resurrection will be in a physical body of flesh and bone like the angels who have a physical body of flesh and bone without blood (see 6.3 The Angels and 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). Yahushua confirmed himself that in the resurrection, all will be like the loyal angels, being given continuous life in a physical body (see 5.5 Continuous Life). Matthew 22:30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of Creator Father in heaven. Mark 12:25 "For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Luke 20:36 "nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of Creator Father, being sons of the resurrection. Verse 36 above mentions life without deterioration (continuous life) and not immortality, except after the birth of the spirit. These verses seem clear enough that we will be resurrected with a physical body like the angels in heaven. We now know the vital structure of the angels (see 6.3 The Angels). Some people say that the angels are immaterial pure spirits. Because of this error of understanding of the inspired Scriptures, some assume that the resurrection will be like some purely immaterial angel. This is an error because the angels in heaven have a physical body like men but they have continuous life. It is written that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Father YHVH, but Yahushua in flesh and bone has already inherited in part in the presence of the Father. He is awaiting for the resurrection of the saints to take full ownership with them. In all things, the perfect example is given by Yahushua who is resurrected with a body of flesh and bone, the first heir of the kingdom with immortality (see 6.4.8 The Resurrection of Yahushua). It is written that his flesh would not know corruption after his death. 239
Acts 2:27 Because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ [Yahushua], that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. Note here that his flesh would be protected from corruption. There was a conservation and not the elimination of the body as the false doctrine asserts. After his resurrection, Yahushua still had his physical body (without the blood) with the marks of his torture, the holes of the nails, the mark in his side, etc. John 20:20 And when he had so said, he showed to them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD [2962 kurios YHVH]. John 20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the LORD [2962 kurios YHVH]. But he said to them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. John 20:27 Then said he to Thomas, Reach here your finger, and behold my hands; and reach here your hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. These verses reveal to us a remarkable phenomenon in the fact that Yahushua was resurrected with his own physical body with the same DNA image of his human body before his death. If the resurrection granted to us a completely different body from ours, Yahushua would have appeared totally different. His body rather underwent an important change: his internal structure underwent a change brought on by immortality. This change is the one that Father YHVH accomplished through His power. Through his own resurrection, Yahushua confirms that we will be resurrected in the body which we had, according to a perfect image of our DNA. Yahushua had a perfect body and did not need major changes as some of us will need. We can think of the physically handicapped persons who will be resurrected in their perfect body with all their complete limbs. In contrast to the mortal human beings who receive life through the blood, the resurrected body of Yahushua, deprived of his blood poured out in atonement, receives henceforth life through the Holy Spirit which gives him immortality because he is the new immortal man (see 6.13 The New Man). The physical resurrection was already confirmed in chapter 37 of Ezekiel in the valley of the dry bones. Ezekiel 37:4 Again He said to me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of YHVH! 5 ‘Thus says YHVH to these bones: "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, 240
and you shall live. 6 "I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am YHVH."’" This resurrection described above is applicable for the 1 st and the 2nd resurrections because both are physical. No transformation into immaterial spirit is conceivable for these people who will be established to live on their lands. Ezekiel 37:13 "Then you shall know that I am YHVH, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 "I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, YHVH, have spoken it and performed it," says YHVH.’" . So, our Father YHVH El confirms the physical resurrection in the promise that He will accomplish in the last days. He will put a new spirit and a new heart of flesh in man. The stony heart will be removed from their body, implicitly physical. A heart of flesh will not be placed in an immaterial spirit. A spirit cannot be placed in a spirit but clearly in a physical body of flesh (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). This invention of a transformation from physical to a pure spirit, is purely human and imaginary and against the Bible which confirms the physical body in which are placed a physical heart and a new spirit. Ezekiel 11:19 "Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, Ezekiel 36:26 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Isaiah 26:19 Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead. Even Job knew that he would be resurrected and that he would see his Creator with the eyes of his resurrected physical body. Job 19:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God [El 0433]: 27 Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! In both resurrections, aging is absent. Yahushua explained that the resurrected people would be like the angels who live continuously if they do not sin, without 241
being immortal. Even Adam who was physical lived about 930 years and he would have lived without limit of time if he had not sinned. When Adam was instructed not to eat of the forbidden fruit under threat of death, the clear deduction is that he would not die if he did not eat it. When he said that men in the resurrection would be like the faithful angels, Yahushua said that the angels were physical also, because he was himself resurrected in flesh and bone (to see 6.3 The Angels). Yahushua took again the glory which he had before with the Father, i.e. he took back his angelic body. One can then think that his physical DNA (physical image and form) was the same as angel and as man so that it was the same creature in both cases. So, Yahushua found his spiritual DNA, i.e. his spirit, as well as his physical body, i.e. his physical DNA. Some object to this principle of a physical body by saying that no flesh can approach Father Creator who is a consuming fire. Certainly, at first thought, it would be logic except Yahushua proved that he had risen to the Father Creator as the Wave Omer Offering and he returned intact. It is a phenomena which cannot be scientifically explained and it is the power and the wisdom of our Father Creator who accomplishes these things. The physical resurrection is a doctrine established by the Bible. Why do the men hold so much unto the false doctrine of pure spirit immaterial angels in spite of Yahushua's clear assertions and determining example ? By asserting that the resurrection would grant a nature like the angels and by noting the physical resurrection in Ezekiel 37, we conclude inevitably that the angels have a physical nature (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). There is a trap in this false doctrine which would establish the angels exactly of the same nature as the Father Creator who alone is Pure Spirit. So, if Yahushua was pure Spirit as the Father Creator, he could satisfy the false doctrine of the trinity which tries to equal the son to the Father. However, by knowing the physical nature of the angels, false doctrines like the trinity are rejected at once as being simply impossible and even ridiculous. The unclean spirits have no power by themselves such as explained by Yahushua (see 6.6 The Unclean Spirits and 5.13 The Reincarnation).

5.18 The Tree of Life The tree of life is a concept which needs a more detailed examination. First of all, we find the mention of this tree in the garden of Eden. Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made YHVH El to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The only tree which was forbidden was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Thus Adam had access to the tree of life without limit. Genesis 2:16 And YHVH El commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Adam thus had access and was permitted to eat of the tree of life. Who knows if Adam did eat it ? What benefit could this tree bring to those who ate it ? According to the words of the Angel YHVH, this tree of life simply gave life. Genesis 3:22 And YHVH God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever [05769 ‘ owlam] — This word owlam is generally translated by perpetual and eternal. It could mean also continuous. Concerning the angels, we know that they did not have nor have intrinsically immortality but that they live continually if they do not sin. Adam also had continuous life because he would not die if he did not sin. The faithful angels are actually about 6000 years old and they do not die nor deteriorate because they are continually faithful. Adam also would be about 6000 years old if he had not sinned. However, as soon as Adam sinned, the process of death was begun because he lost this capacity to live without fatal deterioration which is aging which leads to death. In the ideal environment before the flood, Adam died at the age of 930. Today, the process of the death is much faster and few people live more than 100 years. However, contrary to the popular doctrine taken from Gen. 6:3, many individuals have lived past the age of 120 years after that statement, among others, Abraham and Jacob. The wages of sin is inevitable according to Father's justice. The angels who disobeyed also died and are reduced to unclean spirits wandering on the earth until the judgment, thus proving their mortality (see 6.3.2 The Mortality of the 243
Angels). After the closure of the garden of Eden, we find the mention of the tree of life finally in the book of Revelation. Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God [Father Creator].’ Revelation 22:2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. Some people have stated and taught that the tree of life granted eternal life. That is false because only the Holy Spirit grants immortality as the Bible confirmed although the current translations could lead us to believe that this tree does grant immortality. However, knowing that the angels were mortal but had continuous life, it is logical to assume that the tree of life simply granted continuous life without immortality. Otherwise, the angels would already have been immortal including the angel of YHVH and consequently, neither the angel of YHVH nor Yahushua would have been able to die to carry out the plan of atonement of the Father Creator YHVH. There is even a possibility that the tree of life continually has to feed those who have no immortality but who only have continuous life. For example, after having sinned, Adam was prevented from taking from the tree of the life otherwise he would have lived continually without dying. In other words, Adam would have been healed of the penalty of death if he had been able to eat of the tree of life again after his disobedience. Obviously, the judgment of death had to be applied such as proclaimed by the angel YHVH (see 5.14 The 1st Death). Moreover, verse 2 above proves that this tree serves to give perfect health, i.e. to restore continuous life without deterioration. Verse 2 above asserts that nations will be healed with the leaves of this tree. We can deduct then that the people of the millennium may live continually for all the duration of this period. Even though they commit involontary sins, they will be spared from the penalty of death during the millenium by taking of the tree of life. We can obviously speculate on the identification of this tree which heals but which does not give immortality. Some will refuse to believe that the tree of life does not give immortality but simply continuous life, i.e. renewed health (see 5.5 The Continuous Life). Verse 14 above could also lead us to believe that those who 244
wash their robes are those who receive or who have already received immortality by taking of the tree of life but it is not logical. Indeed, those who will receive immortality in the 1st resurrection do not need to eat of the tree of the life anymore. Indeed, those who are part of the 1 st resurrection, are not hurt by the 2nd death. Revelation 2:11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’ Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of Creator Father and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

6. The Creatures There is only One True Creator, the Father Creator YHVH who created according to His will and power, the universe and creatures according to His plan (see 7. The Creator Father YHVH). There is only One Creator and all other living beings without exception, angels, men, animals, etc. are creatures including His first son called Ulhim, the angel of YHVH and the Word who became the man Yahushua the messiah (see 6.1 The Word, 6.2 The Angel of YHVH and 6.4 Yahushua). Revelation 4:10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 "You are worthy, O Lord [Father YHVH], To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created." In the above verse, glory and honor and power are given to the One sitting on the throne, the Father YHVH who will give to the lamb on His right hand, His first born son, the little scroll of revelations. In this chapter, the different creatures and their role will be briefly examined in the light of the Bible. Only the True Creator YHVH El is pure Spirit and possesses intrinsically eternal life. All others have material bodies (see 5.2 A Sprit in A Body). Some use a faulty argument to claim that the angels are also pure spirits without physical bodies because they are sons of the Ulhim. It is false because Adam also was son of the Ulhim and he had a physical body. Also, Yahushua was son of the Father Creator and had a physical body, even after his resurrection, and even after his new birth in the Spirit ! Yahushua is our perfect example in all things and we would be wise to examine and to imitate him. According to the Bible, all other creatures are created according to an identical structure, i.e. with a material physical body in which the Father Creator has placed a spirit at the creation or procreation of each being (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit and 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). Even the angels have a physical body (see 6.01 The Physical Natre of the Celestial Creatures). Yahushua proved himself this truth by showing himself to his disciples after his resurrection in his physical body made immortal. He thus confirmed the physical resurrection in flesh and bone made immortal et not in a single pure immaterial spirit (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection and 6.4.8 The Resurrection of Yahushua). The great majority of men believe that in the beginning, immaterial angels of pure spirit without bodies were created at first, contrary to the numereous biblical proofs to the contrary. The Bible confirm that the physical was created first before the spiritual, even if modern human and religious doctrines assert the opposite. 1Corinthians 15: 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural (5591 247
physical flesh), and afterward the spiritual. The word 5591 psuchikos indicates the physical flesh of animals as well as of men but also of angels and it also includes the desires of the flesh in the physical pleasure and satisfaction. So, the first man was controlled by his desires and his carnal needs. Adam was urged by his wife to disobey and he disobeyed because he loved his wife but also because he may have desired/needed her physically. We saw the same physical (5591) desires in the angels who fornicated with women on earth. In the new man (see 6.15 The New Man), there is a spirit in a physical body of flesh and bones which is directed and controlled by the Holy Spirit in a definitive and powerful way. In the new man, it is the perfect nature of the Father Creator YHVH that is joined to the weak spirit of the human being to make him perfect as the Father Creator YHVH is perfect. This nature makes him incapable of sinning and abble to do His perfect plan and will (see 7.15 His Ultimate Purpose and 7.16 His Reproduction). Matthew 5:48 "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures At first, it is important to understand that some creatures are called celestial because of their origin and not only for their current location. Indeed, the fallen angels are celestial creatures in origin only. They were cast out from heaven to earth because of their rebellion. Only the Father Creator is called celestial only because of His location since He has no origin nor in heaven nor anywhere else but is eternal. There is an almost universal doctrine which asserts that the celestial creatures and the angels are beings of invisible immaterial pure spirits which would be autonomous without physical bodies. This doctrine is false because it attributes to the celestial creatures and to the angels a spiritual nature identical to the Father Creator. According to this false doctrine, the so-called immaterial angels, moreover, would have the power to materialize at will to become physical and visible to human beings and then to dematerialize as needed to disappear. Among others, this false doctrine is based on a particular interpretation of the following verses: Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation? Psalms 104:4 He makes winds his angels, and flames of fire his servants. How can we support such a doctrine with an interpretation of 2 verses contrary to the numerous verses which confirm the physical nature of the loyal angels? This false doctrine of immaterial creatures contradicts directly the Bible and in particular, it contradicts the clear revelations of Yahushua who showed and thus proved exactly the opposite (see 6.4.8 his Resurrection). It also contradicts the coherence in the creation of Father Creator and the vital structure of the living beings established by the Bible (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). The metaphysical implications are important because this false doctrine does not differentiate the essentially spiritual nature of the Almighty Father Creator from the separate nature of His creatures (see 7.4 his Essence). Such a doctrine is similar to the false doctrine of the immortal soul which allows dead men to continue living only as pure spirit in an autonomous way without a physical body and thus without the need of the resurrection. The Father Creator YHVH is the Only Living Being who is an Eternal Autonomous Immaterial Pure Spirit without a physical body. All other living beings in all the universe are physical beings with a physical body created by Father Creator YHVH as confirmed in the Bible. Father YHVH who is the Only Creator of all the living beings, all the universe and all its content (see 4. The Creation and 12. The Father Creator YHVH). 249
John 4:24 Creator Father is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. 1 Timothy 6:15 Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler [Father Creator], King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it. From necessity of coherence and logic, the nature of the Father Creator must inevitably be different from His creatures ; this will be demonstrated here below. The only other living being having received immortality from his Father Creator is His first created son called the Word, Ulhim, YHVH and Yahushua in his physical body of flesh and bone (see 6.4 Yahushua). Aiming to establish the real nature of the celestial creatures and thus to refute any false doctrine, a list of verses and logical arguments taken from the Bible and from the sections of this work are enumerated below. The Bible shows that the celestial creatures are physical living beings similar in nature to earthly men. Although the celestial bodies of the faithful creatures are a little superior to the fallen earthly human bodies, the difference is essentially physiological. The fundamental hypothetical difference is the presence of blood in the earthly man, the blood being a vital element in his physical body. Leviticus 17:14 For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. Here are some biblical and logical arguments: 1) Paul asks directly the question: what body shall we have in the resurrection? Who has read these verses from Paul ? Who has understood them ? Paul already confirms that we will have a body in the resurrection but answers only what kind ! 1Corinthians 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But Creator Father giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed [4690 sperma] his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. This body of the resurrection is inevitably physical because the word body [4983 250
soma] implies absolutely a physical material such as translated everywhere else. Paul speaks clearly about flesh, about the body and about physical seed which confirm the concept of the DNA code which will be used to restore to every living being his image at the resurrection (see 5.6 The procreation). There are celestial bodies and earthly bodies which have each its type of flesh (see 5.10 The Flesh). 1Corinthiens 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies earthly: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body [4983 soma physical body]; it is raised a spiritual body [4983 soma physical body]. There is a natural body [4983 soma physical body], and there is a spiritual body [4983 soma physical body]. Nothing in his answer allows us or anyone to conclude that there are no more physical bodies in the resurrection ! On the contrary, Paul uses all physical bodies to compare between bodies. He speaks clearly about a physical body at the resurrection; a spiritual body cannot be at the same time immaterial and material nor alternate between these 2 states. A spiritual body is a contradictory term but it must be a physical body more than a spirit, because Paul would have used the precise word spirit. We know the structure of all living beings as a spirit in a physical body (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Boby). These verses should eliminate all confusion for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear (which is obviously not the case for the whole world). However, socalled ministers have twisted Paul's writting to sow confusion on this subject just like many others. Fortunately, we have the revelations of Yahushua on a great number of concepts of which the physical resurrection as follows (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection). 2) The resurrected Yahushua showed himself to his disciples in his immortal physical body. Luke 24:39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having. With his resurrected immortal body of flesh and bone, Yahushua clearly answered Paul's question. Logically, by asserting that a spirit has neither flesh nor bone, Yahushua was saying that a spirit cannot ever have flesh and bone nor materialize any ever. The resurrected Yahushua said that he was eternally an entity with a body of flesh and bone, immortal and incorruptible. According to the 251
biblical definition, Yahushua had become an immortal living soul, which includes the body and the spirit as a complete entity (see 5.3 The Soul). Neither the assertion of Yahushua above ( v.39 ) nor any other biblical concept allow to establish that his body of flesh and bone shown to his disciples, was transitory. On the contrary, when Yahushua returned to heaven to his Father, the angels who stood near his disciples, clearly said to them that this Yahushua would return as he had done, in his body of flesh and bone on a cloud. Acts 1:10 And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Yahushua, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven. a) Yahushua was revealing the physical nature of his resurrection where his body was, according to his own statement, like the loyal angels (see 6.4.8 His Resurrection and 5.17 The Physical Resurrection): Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of Creator Father in heaven. The fact that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom, will not prevent Yahushua, in his body of flesh and bone (without blood), from receiving as inheritance the kingdom as the legitimate heir with the resurrected saints. b) The resurrected Yahushua showed himself with his immortal physical body as proof of his previous nature as first son, the Ulhim, the Word and the angel of YHVH (see 6.1 The Word, 6.2 Angel of YHVH and 6.4.1 Only Son). Yahushua confirmed many times his preexistence (see 6.4.4 his Preexistence). John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world [kosmos 2889] was. John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world [2889 kosmos]. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Creator Father, and the Word was El. 2 The same was in the beginning with Creator Father. 3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. Yahushua revealed his identity as the angel of YHVH by asserting that he had met Abraham (Gen. 18:22). 252
John 8:57 Then the Jews said to him, You are not fifty years old; have you seen Abraham? 3) The human beings saw and spoke with angels (Adam, Moses, Abraham, Solomon, etc.), To be seen, the angels certainly had to be physical and were of human form. Adam spoke in person with the angel of YHVH in the garden. Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of YHVH God [0430 Ulhim] walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of YHVH God [0430 Ulhim] amongst the trees of the garden. Abraham spoke with the angel of YHVH in person. Genesis 18:22 And the men [0582 enosch man] turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD [03068 YHVH]. Moses spoke face to face with the angel of YHVH. Exodus 33:11 And the Lord [03068 YHVH] had talk with Moses face to face, as a man may have talk with his friend. And when Moses came back to the tents, his servant, the young man Joshua, the son of Nun, did not come away from the Tent. Some 70 tribal elders with Moses and Aaron met the angel of YHVH. Exodus 24:9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 And they saw the God [0430 Ulhim] of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God [0430 Ulhim], and did eat and drink. It is important also to note that this being called YHVH and Ulhim in the presence of men was not the Father Creator in person because no man has been in presence of the Father Creator (see 12. His Separation). Again, it is logical and coherent that no man has seen the Father Creator because He is Pure Immaterial Spirit while the angels are often seen because they are physical, of nature similar to earthly men. 4) Jacob wrestled with a man who was the angel of YHVH Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man [0376 iysh man of flesh] with him until the breaking of the day. ...28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God [0430 Ulhim] and with men, 253
and hast prevailed. Hosea 12:3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God [0430 Ulhim]: 4 Yea, he had power over the angel [04397 malak], and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us; 5) The first creature called Ulhim and the Word was the beginning of creation which is physical. The Bible asserts that Yahushua as the Word, the first son and even the only son, is first in all and before all (see 6.4.11 His Precedence). Colossians 1:17 And he [Yahushua the Word] is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Creator Father, and the Word was El. 2 The same was in the beginning with Creator Father. 3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world [kosmos 2889] was. By being the first one in all, Yahushua, the first creature, the Word, is the beginning of creation as much physically as spiritually. Adam was the first earthly man but he was not the first created man because the man from heaven was this first only son come from heaven. John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:47 The first man [444 anthropos] is of the earth, earthy: the second man [444 anthropos] is the Lord [Ulhim] from heaven. The second man of the above verse is the second Adam who came from heaven, the Ulhim, the angel of YHVH who took up the challenge to accomplish what the first Adam had failed to do. 6) The genetic laws confirm that the children receive the identical nature from their biologic father. Thus, the nature of the angels should be of the same nature as their father (see 5.6.5 The Genetic Laws). On the one hand, some use this argument to say that 254
the angels are pure immaterial spirits because their father, the first Ulhim the Word, is pure immaterial spirit. Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God [0430 Ulhim] came to present themselves before YHVH, and Satan came also among them. On the other hand, these ones reject the same argument in the case of Adam who is nevertheless also the son of this first Ulhim. Luke 3:38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God [0430 Ulhim]. What can be said about this lack of coherence and logic? Is it not evident that their argument is false ? The truth is that this first Ulhim was the first physical creature and that his offspring, as much the angelic as the human, was also physical. Evidently, they confuse the identity of the Father Creator YHVH with His first son called the Word and Ulhim and the angel of YHVH. Who is the biologic father of the angels? Yahushua revealed that he was, in his preexistence, the first son, the first creature called Ulhim and the Word before the creation of all other creatures, before the creation of all the other physical matter (see 6.1 The Word). The Bible says clearly that everything was created through this first creature, not by but through this creature, by the Father Creator (see 5.6.1 The Primordial Procreation). Being the first creature of the Father Creator and the only creature created directly by the Father Creator, he is the only son of the Father Creator such as is confirmed many times by the Bible (see 6.4.1 Only Son). So, contrary to the popular doctrine, the Bible asserts that the father of the angels is the first Ulhim. Besides, the likeness between this first Ulhim and Adam is confirmed in the following verse: Genesis 1:26 And God [0430 Ulhim] said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God [0430 Ulhim] created man, in the likeness of God [0430 Ulhim] made he him; In verse 26 above, we may ask why is the verb plural (let us make the man in our image)? Did the Ulhim speak with his Father Creator or with the other angels ? Logically, in both cases, the image of the Father Creator is the original source of the first Ulhim and of the other angels, and, after, of all humanity (see 12.9 His Image). In all cases, verse 1 above confirms the resemblance to the Ulhim, 255
without excluding that his resemblance continues in the rest of the descendants. 7) The angels are a little superior to the earthly men. Psalms 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Logically, how could we consider the angels as being a little superior to man who is physical and mortal if these angels were pure immaterial spirits of the same nature as the Father Creator? Thus, the nature of the angels must logically be physical to be only a little superior to the nature of the earthly men. Otherwise this statement in the above verse which is quoted in Heb. 2:7-9, would be simply false and inapplicable. 8) The angels are simply often called men because they are celestial men. We find the usage of the Hebrew word iysh 0376 and 0582 enosch which means a physical man in the narrative of their meetings with the human beings, of whom Abraham: Genesis 18:1 And the LORD [03068 YHVH] appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men [0582 enosch man] stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, ...22 And the men [0582 enosch man] turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD [03068 YHVH]. Of whom Daniel: Daniel 9:21 yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man [0376 iysh man] Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. This man Gabriel is indeed an angel according to the following verse. Luke 1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of Creator Father; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. As a surprising proof, according to the Bible, even the angel YHVH is a man! Exodus 15:3 The Eternal [ 03068 YHVH] is a man [0376 iysh man] of war; the Eternal [ 03068 YHVH] is his name. Moreover, the Bible describes this angel YHVH as having all the physical 256
attributes of a man (6.2.1 His Body). Thus, the angels are celestial men (off celestial origin and not earthly), thus a little superior. 9) The fallen angel Satan is clearly described as a physical man. The following verses describe the destruction of Satan's physical body by earthworms and fire. Only a physical body can be burned. Ezekiel 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. Only a dead physical body can be placed in the Sheol (see 5.14.1 The Sheol). If Satan's body is placed there, it is because his physical body has suffered the 1st death (see 5.14 The 1st Death). Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to Sheol, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and worms cover thee. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, that didst lay low the nations! 13 And thou saidst in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of El; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to Sheol, to the uttermost parts of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall gaze at thee, they shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man [0376 iysh physical man] that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; In particular, verse 16 above qualifies and identifies clearly Satan as this man [0376 iysh] who made trouble on the earth. Satan was a man just like the angel YHVH was also a man (Exodus 15:3). Why men with eyes cannot see that the angels are celestial men similar to the earthly men, being the offspring of the same Ulhim, the first celestial man, the first son of the Father Creator? 10) The angels fornicated with the human women and begot humanoid children The angels had inevitably physical bodies of evident genetic compatibility with the human body to beget children. Genesis 6:2 That the sons of El saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they 257
chose.... 4 There were giants [05303 nephilim] in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of Father Creatorame in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. This fornication of the angels is another irrefutable proof that they were physical men having carnal desires identical to the earthly men. Only, they had to obey the Father Creator and control their desire. Their disobedience cost them their life, just like Adam who suffered the 1st death because of his disobedience. 11) The example of the unclean spirits on earth proves that a spirit needs a physical body to live. If the angels were pure autonomous spirits without physical bodies, the fallen angels who became unclean spirits would not need to possess/to occupy the live bodies of humans and animals. The fallen angels were cast out of heaven with Satan as being unclean and underwent the 1st death as Satan (see 6.6 The unclean Spirits and 5.14 The 1st Death). The wages of sin is death, at least, the 1st death until the judgment of the great day (see 7.3.7 The Judgment of the great Day). However, Yahushua explains clearly the precarious situation of the unclean spirits who must take refuge in live bodies. Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. In these above verses, 7 unclean spirits share the body of this man. Yahushua cast out a complete legion of unclean spirits who possessed a single individual. Luke 8:30 Jesus [ Yahushua] asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. 12) The angels are sometimes invisible because they can blind men and not because they are immaterial The truth is that the angels can simply render men incapable of seeing them by making them partially blind as we can see in the following incident with Elisha: 2Kings 6:15 Now the servant of the man of El, having got up early and gone out, saw an army with horses and carriages of war all round the town. And the servant said to him, O my master, what 258
are we to do? 16 And he said in answer, Have no fear; those who are with us are more than those who are with them. 17 Then Elisha made a prayer to the Lord, saying, Lord [YHVH], let his eyes be open so that he may see. And YHVH made the young man’s eyes open; and he saw that all the mountain was full of horses and carriages of fire round Elisha. Another biblical proof of this power of the angels to become invisible is found in Numbers 22:22-33. Numbers 22:23 And the ass saw the angel of YHVH waiting in the road with his sword in his hand; and turning from the road, the ass went into the field; and Balaam gave the ass blows, to get her back on to the road. 24 Then the angel of YHVH took up his position in a narrow road through the vine-gardens, with a wall on this side and on that. 25 And the ass saw the angel of YHVH, and went near the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against the wall; and he gave her more blows. 26 Then the angel of YHVH went further, stopping in a narrow place where there was no room for turning to the right or to the left. 27 And the ass saw the angel of YHVH and went down on the earth under Balaam; and full of wrath, Balaam gave her hard blows with his stick. 28 Then YHVH gave the ass the power of talking, and opening her mouth she said to Balaam, What have I done to you that you have given me blows these three times? 29 And Balaam said to the ass, You have made me seem foolish: if only I had a sword in my hand I would put you to death. 30 And the ass said to Balaam, Am I not your ass upon which you have gone all your life till this day? and have I ever done this to you before? And he said, No. 31 Then YHVH made Balaam’s eyes open, and he saw the angel of YHVH in the way with his sword in his hand: and he went down on his face to the earth. The Bible confirms that the angels have the power to make men partially or totally blind. The 2 angels sent to Sodom to see Lot, clearly demonstrated their power of blindness on the men who wanted to harm them. Genesis 19:10 But the men [0582 enosch] [angels] put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. Clearly, the worldly doctrine which pretends that the angels have the power to materialize to be visible is false because it is based on the ignorance of the angels' power to partially blind men. This angelic power of blindness is similar to the power of suggestion demonstrated by the modern hypnotists. Yet this power 259
is not comparable at all to the power of creation of the Father Creator who alone can create physical bodies from His energy and power. Thus, angels cannot materialize nor create bodies for themselves nor can they create anything at all on their own power. All living beings receive a physical body at their creation/procreation until their suffer death at which point they spirit loses its dwelling place and needs a resting place. For human beings, their body goes to hades while their spirit returns to Father YHVH who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto El who gave it. As for the fallen angels, having suffered the wages of sin (1st death) and having lost their physical body, they must find refuge as unclean spirits in living bodies of humans or animals (see 6.6 The Unclean Spirits). 13) The physical resurrection proves irrefutably the necessity of a physical body for the conscious life of any spirit. According to the Bible, the physical resurrection constitutes the only means chosen by the Father Creator to restore and support the conscious life of any spirit (see 5. The Physical Resurrection). The Bible confirms the 1st death as being a separation of the spirit and the physical body, which removes all capacity to enjoy conscious life (see 5.14 The 1st Death). The doctrine of the immortal soul which would allow person to continue to enjoy life without a physical body is against the Bible because it eliminates all necessity of the resurrection and contradicts directly the Bible which announces clearly a resurrection. The vision of Ezekiel of the physical resurrection (ch. 37) constitutes a clear and unmistakable proof of the physical resurrection and the necessity of the spirit to live in a physical body (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). The precarious situation of the unclean spirits who suffered the 1st death is another irrefutable proof. Indeed, they cannot return to the Father Creator in heaven like the human beings to obtain a celestial rest. That is why, they must possess living human or animal bodies to find a little rest. This inevitable necessity for the unclean spirits to live in a living body is also an irrefutable proof of the essential need of any spirit to live in a physical body. Matthew 12:43 But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: 260
and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation. If the fallen angels who lost their bodies need a living physical body as house or vehicle, the same conclusion applies for the faithful angels who still have their physical body, having continuous life from their creation (see 5.4 The Continuous Life).

6.1 The Word The Word is mentioned in the old testament in more than 200 verses where we find the expression ' The word of YHVH ' which is sent to men as follows. 2Samuel 24:11 Now when David arose in the morning, the word of YHVH came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, 1Kings 16:1 Then the word of YHVH came to Jehu the son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying: What or who is the Word which is heard by men according to the biblical texts? We find very little information in the Old testament about the origin of the Word. It is in the revelations from Yahushua that we receive the clear answer. Yahushua revealed to his disciples that he was himself, in his pre-existence, the beginning of creation, this being called the Word and Ulhim and the angel of YHVH (See 6. Yahushua with 6.4.4 His Pre-existence). John 1:14 And the Word [Yahushua] became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. The Word was thus an individual, a living physical and visible creature (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). In the Bible, the voice that men have heard is not the audible voice of the invisible Father Creator. Men have heard the audible voice of this being the Word and they have seen on earth this being who became the man Yahushua. From the beginning in Genesis, as the intermediary and the spokesman, this being called the Word, expressed the inaudible thoughts and carried out among men the will of the invisible Father Creator. This being continued to be His spokesman and His intermediary in his human life in the person of the messiah Yahushua. It is Yahushua who revealed the Father Creator whom men have never seen or cannot see in their current fallen state (see 7.2 His Revelation and 7.12 His Separation). John 1:18 No man has seen Creator Father at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him. John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. In the old testament, the being called the Word is the same being called Ulhim, YHVH and the angel of YHVH (see 6.2 The Angel of YHVH). Take note! The being called the Word bears the name of His Father Creator YHVH (see 2.2.1 The Biblical Names). We sometimes see the participation of other angels sent as messengers among men. The Father Creator has always intervened through His 262
messengers (angels) among men except in a few possible instances. Indeed, the voice which was heard from heaven at the baptism of Yahushua was possibly that of the Father Creator who spoke about His only son Yahushua, the Word, as follows. Luke 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Yahushua also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Luke 9:34 And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him. The being the Word is the first creation and the first son of the Father Creator before the beginning described in Genesis 1 (see 6.4.1 Only Son). In other words, there is another beginning which is the creation of the Word before that of Genesis 1 (See 4.2.2 At the Beginnings). Indeed, being created before all other things so that all things were created through him, the Word was already created before the first day of the week of creation when the heavens and earth were created. That is why the first son is called the beginning of creation and thus, his preeminence and his precedence are confirmed by the Bible (see 6.4.4 His Preexistence and 6.4.11 His Preeminence). This is an exclusive revelation of Yahushua. The texts of the Old Testament do not reveal clearly this fact. Revelation 3:14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God [of Father Creator]: All the living beings are physical because they have a physical progenitor father who is the Word. The only exception is the Word who is the first physical creation and the first physical son of the Father Creator who alone is All Mighty Pure Immaterial Spirit. That is why the first son is called the beginning of creation. The being the Word temporarily left his celestial office and his celestial body when he was sent by the Father Creator on earth in the man messiah Yahushua. Yahushua declared himself that he was the spokesman and a delegated mediator for his Father Creator, as he had been since his creation as the Word (see 7.7 The Delegation). John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. John 14:24 He who has no love for me does not keep my words; and the word which you are hearing is not my word but the 263
Father’s who sent me. The concept of the primordial procreation describes the participation of the Word in the creation (see 5.6.1 The primordial procreation). Thus, it is logical and coherent that the Word was created some time before all things. During this undertemined period of time, the first son received directly from his Father Creator the necessary instructions with the love, the knowledge, the faith and the wisdom as prerequisites to his intimate participation in the plan of creation and salvation. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Creator Father, and the Word was El. 2 He was in the beginning with Creator Father. Colossians 1:16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. Hebrew 11:3 It is by the faith that we recognize that the world was formed by (through) God's Word [of Father Creator], in sort that what we see was not made by visible things. Revelation 3:14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God [of Father Creator]: The being the Word is not the Creator but the procreator of all creation just like Adam is the procreator of all humanity but in no way its creator. When saying that everything was created through Yahushua alias the Word, it includes all the created living beings, the angels and Adam. The celestial angels and the earthly men are physical because their procreator this angel YHVH was / is physical. The angels were created at the beginning by the command of the Father Creator YHVH, pronounced with the mouth and the breath of this being the Word (see 6.3 The Angels): Psalms 33:6 By the word of the LORD [03068 YHVH] were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. What was participation in the creation of this being called the Word, YHVH and Ulhim? The son called the Word and YHVH like His Father, is a limited physical being whereas the Father Creator is Pure Immaterial Spirit who possesses all infinite power and wisdom. All the power of creation comes from the Father Creator alone who created everything but through a process, a sort of miraculous procreation in answer to the pronunciation of the creative prophetic words. Psalms 148:2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his 264
hosts. 3 Praise you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light. 4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that be above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the name of the LORD [03068 YHVH YHVH]: for he commanded, and they were created. Psalms 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD [03068 YHVH YHVH]: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. These verses above reveal the mode of creation of the Father Creator. Evidently, the Father Creator is Almighty. By His thought alone and His will, He creates what He wants as the following verse confirms. Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O our Lord and our Creator Father, to receive glory and honour and power; for *thou* hast created all things, and for thy will they were, and they have been created. The Word has participated as procreator and not as the creator of the universe and of the human beings, just like Adam is not creator. Can we know or understand this mode of procreation and creation? Adam was not personally involved in the physical procreation of all the generations but only in the initial usage of his DNA code to procreate his own sons and daughters. Also, the son YHVH has participated as procreator by the pronunciation of the creative prophetic words and by the initial usage of his physical DNA code in the physical procreation of the angels and Adam. However, the complete creation is the exclusive work of the Father Creator. The mode of creation of the Father Creator uses a powerless intermediary in the transmission of the miracle of life. It is the concept of procreation through an intermediary which is seen in all the creation. The being the Word is this first intermediary at the beginning. We know now that this first son called the Word and YHVH, acted in all things as the visible intermediary, the exclusive intermediary between the invisible Father Creator and all His creation (7.7 The Delegation). Job 33:23 If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him; 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one Creator Father, and one mediator between Creator Father and men, the man Christ Jesus [Yahushua the messiah]; We can then imagine a mode of creation where the audible words of His visible son are essentially a prophecy or a prayer in faith which the Father Creator accomplishes immediately. Is this not the same process which is also revealed to us by Yahushua who asserts that the miracles were really done by the Father Creator in answer to his prayer of the faith? 265
John 11:41 So they took away the stone. And Yahushua, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me. 42 I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me. John 10:32 Yahushua said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me? Yahushua even asserted that the elect would perform afterward greater miracles through faith in the Father Creator. John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Yahushua was thus revealing that the same mode of procreation, creation and miracles would be available for the elect who would perform these things in the name of Yahushua by the power of the Father Creator. When we read the narrative of creation, we notice this mode of creation where the Ulhim, the Word pronounces phonetically the command of the Father Creator and the thing is created then as follows. Genesis 1:3 God [0430 Ulhim] said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:6 God [0430 Ulhim] said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7... And it was so. Genesis 1:9 God [0430 Ulhim] said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. These commands pronounced by the Word come certainly from the Father Creator who is the origin of all creation. Is this not the same process which has Yahushua revealed? We can imagine that the Father Creator inspired these thoughts in the mind of His son so that he would pronounce them and thus participate in the creation. In this concept, the elements of creation would simply be miracles carried out by the Father Creator according to His will pronounced by the Word (see 5.6.1 The primordial procreation). Yahushua, as a man, and as the Word, did the will of his Father Creator in all things. John 5:30 I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 266
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. Yahushua did great miracles, even to resurrect the dead. It is through faith in His Father Creaor that these miracles were done. Thus it was not Yahushua who had the intrinsic power to do them but the Father Creator accomplished them by His power. Yahushua simply pronounced the words and the miracle was granted and accomplished by the Father Creator. If we can see, Yahushua has always played his same role of spokesman (Word) through whom the Father did all these miracles and the whole creation. The Father Creator fulfillled all of Yahushua's requests. John 11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Yahushua lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me. Also, if we ask in Faith, in the name of the son Yahushua, the Father will grant us, as He granted to His son. John 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name. In the verse above, it is the Father Creator who gives. It is primordial to know the Father Creator as the Supreme Creator of everything and of all living beings and to know the Word, His first son whom He sent as the messiah Yahushua (see 4.1 The Beginning of the Creation). John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true Creator Father, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ [Yahushua the messiah]. As regards the physical nature of this being called the Word, it is because of his precedence in all things that he had to be the 1 st physical created living being (see 6.3.1 The Human Nature of the Celestial Creatures and 6.4.11 His Preeminence). Adam is the 1st earthly man but the Word was the 1 st celestial man. 1Corinthiens 15:47 The first man [anthropos 444] is of the earth, earthly; the second man [anthropos 444] is of heaven. This man who came from heaven is in fact the 1 st son called the Word, the 1st creature of the Father Creator. So, this first son came from heaven became the 2nd earthly man (2nd Adam) by taking a earthly body. Thus, the Word became the 2nd Adam to carry out what the 1st Adam had failed. 267
1Corinthiens 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Indeed, through his resurrection, Yahushua was born again from the spirit to resume his office of intermediary but henceforth as the immortal son of the Father Creator. Yahushua, still called YHVH at his return to earth, is called the Word for ever. Revelation 19:11 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself. 13 And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God [of Father Creator]; Thus, it is the being called the Word, Yahushua and YHVH who will return to earth at the end of this age to implement the kingdom (government) of His Father Creator YHVH for 1000 years. Zechariah 14:3 Then shall YHVH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives shall be cleft in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

6.1.1 In the Bosom of the Father There is a concept which requires more detailed examination concerning the creation of the Word. We know that the Word was created before all things and that nothing was created without him. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God [Creator Father], and the Word was God [Ulhim]. 2 The same was in the beginning with God [Creator Father]. 3 All things were made by [through] him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. The beginning in question in the above verse concerns exclusively the Word as the first created living being, the only son of Father Creator (see 6.4.1 Only Son). This only son is confirmed as being the beginning of the physical and spiritual creation. Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of Creator Father; The creation of the Word was the beginning of the creation of Father Creator and this beginning was inevitably before the beginning mentioned in Genesis 1 (see 4.2.2 At the Beginnings). Genesis 1:1 In the beginning El created the heavens and the earth. This beginning of Genesis 1 was really the beginning of the creation of all the physical universe and all living beings except for the Word which was inevitably already living. This beginning of Genesis 1 corrresponds to the first day of the first week marked and counted in time. Before the beginning of the first day of Genesis 1, only the Word had been created and was living with Father Creator. No other physical things or objects or creatures had been created yet. The following verses confirm again the origin of the Word in the beginning of time, that is, from eternity. The Word is identified as the man Yehoshuua born in Bethlehem who came out of the Father. Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. John 13:3 Yahushua knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from Creator Father, and went to Creator Father; John 16:28 I came out from the Father, and am come into the 270
world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father. John 17:8 For I have given to them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me. Logically, before their creation, all creatures needed a livable environment to live in, just as the fishes needed the water before their creation. That is why heavens and earth were created in the first place to give their inhabitants a secure dwelling place. The heavens were created for the angels whereas the earth was created for man and animals. All the sequence of creation respects this principle of creation of a dwelling place before the creation of the inhabitant except for an exception. Indeed, what about the Word, this first physical living being? How could he live without a proper environment when nothing was yet created before him? As impossible as it is to imagine, at one point, there was only the Father Creator, an Eternal Immaterial Spirit El and the first created celestial man called the Word and YHVH. There was nothing else, not even empty space, nothing. How then could this man live with no known environnment? For Father Creator, obviously nothing is impossible but we do receive the answer for this question again from Yahushua. John 1:18 Nobody has ever seen Creator Father; the Only son, who is in the bosom of the Father, is the one who made him known. This expression in the bosom of the Father is the answer. This expression represents a concept by which this first physical son was protected in a proper environment suited for his perfect physical survival before the creation of all things and any environment. We can more easily imagine that the Father could easily give all the specific energy to sustain His first son. A similar concept is seen in the narrative of the burning furnace where Daniel's friends are thrown alive in a fiery furnace and are not hurt by the fire (see Daniel 3:20-25). King Nebucadnezar could even see them walking unhurt in the fire of the furnace with another man whom he called a son of Ulhim. We could imagine a field of energy or a virtual bubble in which these men were protected from the heat. It is thus such a concept which would be at the origin of the life of the first physical son in the bosom of the Father who is immaterial. We may understand that this expression applied strictly to this period of time when the Word was living alone with Father Creator without a created physical environment. This concept does not apply any more because of the creation of the proper environments for the angels. In particular, it does not apply now because Yahushua, having become the new immortal man, is now sitting at the right of 271
Father Creator in heaven. Also, it is remarkable that this expression in the bosom is the basic concept in the human procreation where the child begins his life in the bosom or the womb of his mother. Logically and just like the human baby's gestation period, the Word could not come out of the Father's bosom until a proper environment was created for him. Father Creator did play the role of Father and Mother. Also, Father Creator's first son received an undiluted version of the Father's attributs without a mother's genetic contribution. Yet, the Word had not yet received the Holy Spirit which contains immortality. Yet when we consider this concept for the Word, we must not limit our imagination to an embryo in the woman's womb which cannot have any complex intellectual thoughts and planning. In the Father's bosom, the Word would have been created as an adult man (like Adam) with full intellectual capacity (like Adam). In his protective environment, the Word would have received from the Father Creator, a spirit of life, much love, much knowledge and with all, wisdom. The Word would also have received details of the Father's plan of creation and the foreknowledge of the angels' fall and man's fall. After his completed instruction, the Word would participate in the creation of all things and living beings as the first procreator. In an act of great love, the Word would also agree to give his life as a ramson to redeem all creation and his biological children (see 5.6 Procreation). 1Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
6.1.2 His Physical Creation There is in the world a quasi-universal belief according to which the angels are autonomous immaterial beings without physical bodies. This belief adds however that the angels can materialize, that is, they can create for themselves a physical body according to their need to become visible to men. Then, according to this belief, to become invisible, they can disintegrate their physical body so that it does not exist any more and thus disappear in the eyes of men. Evidently, the world wants to apply this belief to the Word by making him an immaterial entity without a physical body at the time of his creation as well as later on. This belief is totally contrary to the witnesses, to the true doctrines of the Bible and to the perfect example of Yahushua who is now a physical man of flesh and 272
bones seated at the right of Father Creator in heaven. The physical nature of the angels, as celestial men and celestial creatures, is clearly shown in the Bible and in this work (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). The vital structure of all living beings is the same for angels, men and animals, that is, a spirit in a body (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). It reflects the fundamental concept that the creation of the dwelling place must precede the creation of the dweller. Thus, we had the creation of the earth before the plants, the creation of water before the fish, the creation of a body before the spirit, etc. We see in Ezekiel 37:1-9 this concept clearly proven where the physical bodies are created before the spirit of life enters them. Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of YHVH was on me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the middle of the valley which was full of bones...5 Thus said YHVH to these bones; Behold, I will cause spirit [07307 ruwach spirit] to enter into you, and you shall live: 6 And I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put spirit [07307 ruwach spirit] in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am YHVH...10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceeding great army. Thus, being physical, the angels can become invisible to men simply by causing a temporary blindness on them in a selective manner (see 6.3.3 The Angels' Invisibility). In the case of the Word who is the first creature, why would he be different from the other celestial creatures? Why would the Word, as the first creation, the beginning of the physical creation, not have a physical body and would have a nature different from all other living beings (angels, men and animals)? The Word must be physical because he is the procreator of all physical creation (see 5.6.1 The Primordial Procreation and 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). The following verses confirm that Messiah, the man Yahushua is the Word and that he is the beginning of creation (see 4.2.2 At the Beginnings? ). Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of Father Creator: Revelation 19:13 And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of Creator Father. How could the Word be the beginning of the physical creation if he was not physical? Evidently, the narrative of the creation of Genesis 1 concerns a physical creation. How could he be the first in all if he was not the first physical man, a celestial man before all other angels (celestial men) and before Adam (earthly man) (see 6.4.11 His Preeminence)? Indeed, how could the Word be the first in all if Adam was the first physical man? We may not find a direct scriptural statement of the Word's physical initial creation. However, we can examine the elements that could reveal to us his physical original creation by logic and coherence. 273
Otherwise, who or what would be the first creation? Would it be the heavens? Would it be the earth? We should know that neither the heavens nor the earth are the first creation. The first creation is necessarily and logically the Word, since all those physical things were created through the Word, thus, after the Word. To discover the original physical creation of the Word, let us examine firstly his movements. Where did he come from? He lived ahuman life on earth. Where did he return? We must know that Yahushua preexisted as the Word and the angel YHVH (see 6.4.4 His Pre-existence). Thus, the Word is also called the angel YHVH, a physical celestial man, being the same living entity, that is, the only son of of the Father Creator (see 6.2.1 His Body and 6.4.1 Only Son). The angel of YHVH was truly a celestial man (see 6.2.2 His Humanity). He was the man Yahushua in his preexistence. The following verses clearly confirm that the angel who accompanied the people in the wilderness during 40 years was the angel YHVH who was Yahushua, in his pre-existence. This angel YHVH was a celestial man who had a physical body. Thus, we must recognize that the angel YHVH, the Father Creator's mediator messenger is really the Word who is the man Yahushua. 1Corinthians 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ [Yahushua]. Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger [04397 malak], and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith YHVH of hosts. Matthew 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger [32 angelos] before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The messenger (04397 and 32) who announces in the above verses is clearly John the baptist. In the following verses, Yahushua is clearly identified as the messenger of the covenant who is the Word, the angel of YHVH and the man Yahushua (see 2.2.1.1 The Name Lord). Matthew 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet 274
Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord [2962 YHVH], make his paths straight. Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger [04397 malak, John the baptist], and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord [adone], whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant [angel YHVH, Yahushua, the Word], whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith YHVH of hosts. The second proof of the physical original nature of the Word is the fact that Yahushua, after his resurrection, returned to his original celestial physical state, having the following attributes: 1) He still had his same physical body which still had the marks of his sufferings
John 20:27 Then saith he [Yahushua] to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 2) He has clearly explained to his disciples that it was he himself, in flesh and bones and not an immaterial spirit Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have. 3) He had explained to them previously that in the resurrection, we would be as the angels in heaven (see 5.16.1 The Change in a Wink) Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of Creator Father in heaven. 4) He returned to heaven in his body of flesh and bone in the sight of his disciples Acts 1:9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went... 5) It is confirmed that he will return to establish the Kingdom of his Father Creator on earth in his same body on the clouds Acts 1:10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Yahushua, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same 275
way as you saw him go into heaven.” 6) Paul calls the resurrected messiah who is seated at the right hand of Father Creator : the man Yahushua 1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God [El Father Creator], and one mediator between Creator Father and men, the man Christ Yahushua; 7) Yahushua was physical before, now and will be for ever Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ [Yahushua] the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Why would Yahushua's attributes after his resurrection not be an indication of his original nature as the Word created in the bosom of the Father? (See 6.1.1 In the Bosom of the Father). Obviously, some people cannot see any link therein. Nevertheless, the man Yahushua clearly said that he was the Word in the beginning and that he would return to his previous angelic physical state. John 17:5 And now, O Father [Creator], glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was. Yahushua had the same physical state yesterday, today and for ever (see Hebrews 13:8 above). 1Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. So, the only difference in his nature after his resurrection is that he now has immortality. He has returned to his Father who had sent him as he had said so. John 8:14 Yahushua answered and said to them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know from where I came, and where I go; but you cannot tell from where I come, and where I go. John 13:3 Jesus [Yahushua] knowing that the Father [Creator] had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from Creator Father, and went to Creator Father; In conclusion, the Word would have been created as a physical being in the bosom of the Father Creator according to these arguments: 1) To be the beginning of the physical creation, he needed to be physical also (see 4.2 The Beginning of Creation) 2) He had to be physical to be procreator to the physical matter and to the physical living beings (see 5.6 Procreation) 3)The Word was the angel YHVH in the old testament, a physical angel with a 276
physical body (see 6.2 Angel of YHVH) 4) The Word is now the resurrected man Yahushua with his physical body of flesh and bones (see 6.13 The New Man) 5) Yahushua is the same physical man yesterday, today and forever. If in fact the Word returned to the Father in his physical body after his resurrection, wouldn't this confirm that he was there before in a physical body.

Neither the word angel, nor the word messenger define the nature of these beings (see 6.3 The Angels). The angel of YHVH [DSH 03068] is simply another name for the being called Ulhim and the Word, the only son of the Father Creator (see 6.1 The Word). This angel bears the name of his Father Creator YHVH in the Bible. This angel called YHVH speaks and acts for his Father Creator YHVH according to the delegation received from his Father (see 7.7 His Delegation). Proverbs 30:4 Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know? The angel of YHVH is the spokesman, the intermediary and the visible delegate of the invisible Father Creator among the human beings. We could understand also from this verse that the first son bears the name of his Father Creator YHVH. This is confirmed in the following verse, for the only son called the Word. Moses was warned of the presence of this delegated angel, the only son (see 6.4.1 Only Son). Exodus 23:21 Take ye heed before him, and hearken unto his voice; provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgression: for my name is in him. The only son will be the only person to bear the name of the Father Creator 277
YHVH. All the sealed sons of the 12 tribes of Israel will also bear the name of the Father Creator YHVH after the return of Yahushua on earth. The name Yahushua means YHVH saves (see 2.2.1 The Biblical Names and 7.1 His Name). Revelation 14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. This verse still confirms that the name of the only son is the name of the Father Creator because both have the same name from the expression ' his name and the name of his Father '. Otherwise, can we imagine that these individuals would bear both names: that of the Father and that of the son? The following verse seems to resolve the question as to establish a single name: that of the Father Creator. Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Creator Father and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. The prophecies have clearly established that the name of the Father Creator would be placed on His people who would be called by His name. In the narative of the blessings and the curses in Deuteronomy 28:1-15, the people would be recognized for bearing the name of the son and thus of the Father Creator YHVH (SHD 03068). Deuteronomy 28:9 The LORD [YHVH 03068] shall establish you an holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of the LORD [YHVH 03068] your God [0430 Ulhim], and walk in his ways. 10 And all people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD [YHVH 03068]; and they shall be afraid of you. How can we refute that there will be a single name in all the earth? Psalms 148:13 Let them praise the name of the LORD [YHVH 03068]: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. Sometimes, as delegated angel, this only son is simply called YHVH without the use of the word messenger (angel). The angel YHVH is not of a different nature from the other physical angels although he is first. In fact, he transmitted his own physical nature as the progenitor of the other angels. This irrefutable genetic law is seen with Eve who is of the same nature as Adam as she was procreated through Adam’s DNA code. In the same way, Adam is of the same physical nature as the angel of YHVH who procreated him. 278
It was clearly established in the Old Testament and confirmed by Yahushua that no man has seen the Father Creator YHVH in person (see 12.12 His Separation). Thus knowing that no man has seen the Father Creator, then the entity YHVH who is seen by men is not the Father Creator the only True Creator. Rather, women and men have seen and conversed with His mediatory son also called YHVH with a physical human body (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Clestial Creatures). Exodus 15:3 YHVH [03068 YHVH] is a man [0376 iysh man] of war: YHVH [03068 YHVH] is his name. Can anyone reject the above verse as a fraud or an erroneous translation because it identifies the son YHVH as a man ? To be Adam's biological father, the son YHVH had to be of a similar nature as Adam with a physical body. This angel YHVH is called god (SHD 0430 Ulhim) in all the modern versions of the old testament. Zechariah 12:8 In that day shall the LORD [YHVH 03068] defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God [Ulhim 0430], as the angel of the LORD [YHVH 03068] before them. The following expressions and biblical verses demonstrate and prove that men saw in person this messenger YHVH, the son and not the Father Creator YHVH: 1) To Adam Genesis 2:7 And the LORD [YHVH 03068] El formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 3:8 And they heard the sound of the LORD [YHVH 03068] El walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD [YHVH 03068] El among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the LORD [YHVH 03068] El called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" 2) To Gedeon Judges 6: 12 And the angel of the LORD [YHVH 03068] appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD [YHVH 03068] is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. 3) Moses Exodus 33:11 And the LORD [YHVH 03068] spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. 4) Moses, Aaron, 70 elders 279
Exodus 24:9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 And they saw the El of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: and they beheld God [Ulhim], and did eat and drink. 5) Solomon 1 Kings 9:2 That the LORD [YHVH 03068] appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. 6) Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Exodus 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God [el] Almighty [shaddai], but by my name YHVH was I not known to them. This angel is the messenger (04397 mal’ak angel), i.e. the representative, the right hand but also the first son of the Father Creator YHVH. This being YHVH speaks about his own Creator in the following verse. Isaiah 45:11 Thus says the LORD [YHVH 03068], The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me. Most of versions translate this verse in the same way but why is the verb 'speaks' not plural? Who is speaking ? It is the Father Creator through his angel YHVH who is His spokedman? The Almighty Spirit El YHVH became a Father and Creator at the moment of the creation of His first son, His angel also called the Word who acted and spoke in the Old Testament in the name of his Father Creator YHVH (see 6.1 The Word). The Father Creator is alone the True Supreme Creator of the other numerous angels called messengers, of all the human beings and all things, visible and invisible (see 4.The Creation, 5.6.1 The Primordial Procreation and 6.3 The Angels). It is written that everything was created through this Word (see 4.1 The Beginning of the Creation). 2Peter 3:5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God [Father Creator YHVH] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, Psalm 33:6 By the word of the LORD [03068 YHVH]the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. Hebrew 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds [165 aeon] were framed by the word of Creator Father, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. 280
We could understand that this angel, the Word, pronounced the things to be created and it is the Father Almighty Creator who brought those things into existence by His power. Psalm 148:5 … For He commanded and they were created. At the appointed time by the Father Creator YHVH, this angel of YHVH agreed to abandon his life as an angel to be reborn as an earthly mortal man. To accomplish this mission, his spirit was separated from his angel's body which died and his spirit was transferred in the human foetus of Yahushua. Did his angelic body suffer death as a sacrifice for his angelic sons (see 5.14 The 1st Death) ? This could prove the mortality of the angels (see 6.3.1 The Mortality of Angels). The Word, this angel of YHVH thus lived as the man Yahushua who was also the image of his Father Creator YHVH (see 7.9 His Image and 6.4 Yahushua). This image is according to the genetic physical laws. This angel thus abandoned his previous celestial life to become an earthly man through a virgin by a direct physical procreation of the Father Creator YHVH. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. It is during his human life in Yahushua that this angel revealed his previous identity and his atoning mission (see 6.4.3 His Pre-existence). Having lived formerly as an angel and having ceased his angelic life by dying as an angel for the salvation of all, he agreed to die a 2nd time as an earthly man for the salvation of all humanity and even for angels according to Colossians 1:20 (see 11.03.3 Universal Salvation?). Isaiah 63:9 In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the Angel of His Presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them All the days of old. This verse above confirms the participation of this angel YHVH in the salvation of the people, i.e. their redemption (see 8.3.1 Redemption). Furthermore, the identity of the angel YHVH is revealed in the following verse. Zechariah 14:3 Then YHVH will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle. 4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south. It is not the Father Creator who will set His feet on the montain because no mortal man would survive. Indeed, humanity will survive the presence of this being YHVH who is the man Yahushua who still bears his Father's name as from 281
the beginning. The Father Creator sends His son to destroy all dominion, to establish His kingdom and to complete the reconciliation. This verse is a clear revelation of the identity of the angel YHVH, i.e. Yahushua, the son of man. Genesis 48:15 15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, El, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the El which fed me all my life long to this day, 16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the middle of the earth. In the above verses, Jacob confirms the Ulhim of Abraham and Isaac as being the angel who delivered him (v. 16). This angel is called YHVH as confirmed in the Bible because he is the first created son. His presence on earth was announced in many ways but also as the angel of the new covenant. Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger [04397 malak angel], and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD [ 03068 YHVH], whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger [04397 malak angel] of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, said the LORD [ 03068 YHVH] of hosts. We notice in this verse, the incoherence of the translators who should have translated the word malak 04397 by the word angel and not messenger as in the rest of the biblical texts. This angel of the new covenant is the angel of YHVH who is Yahushua, the son of man. This verse still confirms the identity and the announcement of Yahushua as being this angel of the covenant.
6.2.1 His Body It was established that the angel of YHVH is the only son of the Creator Father YHVH (see 6.4.1 Only Son). This son YHVH was in the presence of men and has spoken with men. This angel is assuredly of the same appearance as the men to whom he showed himself. Like the other angels, the angel of YHVH is simply called a man in the biblical verses. Exodus 15:3 3 YHVH [03068] is a man [iysh 0376 man human] of war <04421>: YHVH [03068] is his name <08034>. Genèse 18:1 Then the LORD [YHVH 03068] appeared to him by the 282
terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. 2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, 3 and said, "My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. ... 13 And the LORD [YHVH 03068] said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ 14 "Is anything too hard for the LORD [YHVH 03068] ? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son." ... 16 Then the men [0582 enowsh man] rose from there and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to send them on the way. Daniel 9:21 yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man [0376 ‘iysh man human] Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering. Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man [0376 ‘iysh man human] with him until the breaking of the day. ... 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God [Ulhim 0430] and with men, and hast prevailed. Judges 13:6 So the woman came and told her husband, saying, "A Man [0376 ‘iysh man human] of God [Ulhim 0430] came to me, and His countenance was like the countenance of the Angel [messenger] of God [Ulhim 0430], very awesome; but I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me His name. Revelation 21:17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. In the language of truth, the statements are first literal but also reveal parallel concepts, spiritual and physical. The verse of Exodus 15:3 above states that YHVH is a man, i.e. of a literal human nature. This is a statement which defies the human concepts and doctrines which state that the angels are immaterial flying spirits. In fact, they are spirits and they can fly but they are not immaterial. Thus, most will refuse to admit the literal interpretation of this verse 3 because their old concept is destroyed and they find themselves in an uncomfortable situation. In order to refuse the literal and true application of the human 283
qualification to angels, one can bring many arguments but which will not be supported by Scriptures nor be coherent with the other biblical concepts. The human nature of the angels will be demonstrated also in the other sections and biblical verses (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). If we are unable to admit that men have a human nature, then we will have to admit that men have an angelic nature, being children of this angel YHVH (see Gen.1:26 and 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). The following verses clearly mention the body of this angel and his various human parts such as his hands, his body, his feet, his eyes, etc. Exodus 7:5 "And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD [YHVH 03068], when I stretch out My hand [03027 hand] on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.".... Exodus 7:17 ‘Thus says the LORD: "By this you shall know that I am the LORD [YHVH 03068]. Behold, I will strike the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand [03027 hand], and they shall be turned to blood. Exodus 13:3 And Moses said to the people: "Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand [03027 hand] the LORD [YHVH 03068] brought you out of this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten. Exodus 13:14 "So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand [03027 hand] the LORD [YHVH 03068] brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Deuteronomy 11:12 "a land for which the LORD [YHVH 03068] your God [Ulhim 0430] cares; the eyes [05968 eye] of the LORD [YHVH 03068] your God [Ulhim 0430] are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year. Deuteronomy 9:10 "Then the LORD [YHVH 03068] delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger [0676 finger] of God [Ulhim 0430], and on them were all the words which the LORD [YHVH 03068] had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. Zechariah 14:3 Then the LORD [YHVH 03068] will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle. 4 And in that day His feet [07272 feet] will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it 284
toward the south. Deuteronomy 8:3 but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth [06310] of the LORD [YHVH 03068]. Psalm 66:7 who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations — let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah 1 Samuel 8:21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD [YHVH 03068]. Psalm 33:6 By the word of the LORD [YHVH 03068] the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. Psalm 18:15 Then the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, O LORD [YHVH 03068], at the blast of the breath of your nostrils [0639]. Isaiah 11:4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth [06310 peh], and with the breath [07307 ruwach spirit] of his lips [08193 saphah lips tongue] he shall kill the wicked. Psalm 44:3 for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them. It is established in the Bible that the son Yahushua will be the bridegroom and the elect will be the bride. The following verse speaks most certainly about the son YHVH who will be married to his chosen people. Hosea 2:16 And it shall be in that day, saith YHVH, that thou shalt call me, My husband, and shalt call me no more, Baali [01180 master]; This also confirms that the son YHVH is the being who lived as Yahushua, the only son of the Father Creator.
6.2.2 His Humanity According to the popular human doctrines, the angels are spirits without material bodies. What does the Bible say on the nature of the angels? Can we find therein 285
the clear answer or do we have to hold on to the human doctrines? As surprising as it may be, the Bible reveals the physical nature of this angel YHVH (see 6.01 The Physical Nature Of the Celestial Creatures). Exodus 15:3 Eternal [ YHVH] is a man [0376 iysh] of war; Eternal [YHVH] is his name. Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man [0376 iysh] with him until the breaking of the day.... 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God [Ulhim] and with men, and hast prevailed. These 2 verses above assert clearly Otherwise, it would be necessary to deceitful to be rejected completely. simple revelation of these verses. This fought in verse 24 is this angel YHVH.
the physical nature of this angel YHVH. declare the translations of these verses Otherwise, it is necessary to admit the man in flesh and in bone with whom Jacob
Hosea 12:3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God [Ulhim]: 4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us; 5 Even YHVH God [Ulhim] of hosts; YHVH is his memorial. Genesis 32:28 And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God [0430 Ulhim] and with men you have overcome. Genesis 32:30 Jacob called this place of the name of Peniel: because, he says, I saw God [0430 Ulhim] face to face, and my soul was saved. Obviously, Jacob did not fight with the Father Creator but clearly with His son angel YHVH. So, according to the Bible, the angel YHVH and the angels are physical men having a human body. In that case, the word human is used as the initial pure human race and not the fallen man. In the first creation, the angel YHVH was created as the 1st physical celestial man of pure race. Adam was the 1st earthly man formed from dust but the angel YHVH called the Word, was the 1st celestial man having an initial purity. It is the distinction to be made between the man of celestial origin and the man of earthly origin. 1Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is 286
of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] from heaven. 1Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. As a consequence, there is reason to admit the 'human' nature of the other angels (see 6.3.1 The Humanity of the Angels).

6.3 The Angels The word angel simply means messenger. Neither the word angel, nor the word messenger define the nature of these beings as being so much superior to men. The word angel comes from the Hebrew word 04397 mal’ak and from the Greek word 32 aggelos. The true nature of the angels gives them no powers which belong to the Father Creator only. They are considered as servants of the Father Creator and it is in this office that they exercise supernatural powers granted by the Father Creator. Psalms 103:20 Bless YHVH, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. 21 Bless ye YHVH, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. The Father Creator has placed all the angels in the service of the firstborn son, Yahushua and the elect. Hebrew 1:6 And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of Creator Father worship him.... 13 But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet ? Hebrew 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation? The creation of the angels is based on a process of procreation through the 1st creature, the Word (see 5.6.1 The Primordial Procreation and 6.1 The Word). The angels were created as living beings through the first created son called the Word and called the angel of YHVH according to the Bible. Colossians 1:16 for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him; Psalms 148:1 Praise ye YHVH. Praise ye YHVH from the heavens: Praise him in the heights. 2 Praise ye him, all his angels: Praise ye him, all his host. 3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: Praise him, all ye stars of light. 4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the name of YHVH; For he commanded, and they were created. Everything and all creatures were created through the Word, by the auditive pronunciation of the command, not by the being called the Word with his own power but only by the power of the Father Creator YHVH. This being the Word 288
served as progenitor as Adam in the creation / procreation of all humanity without being its creator (see 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). The angels are called the sons of the Ulhim. This Ulhim is the first angel messenger, the first son called the Word and also YHVH (see 6.2 The Angel of YHVH). Genesis 6:2 that the sons of God [Ulhim] saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God [Ulhim] came to present themselves before YHVH, and Satan came also among them to present himself before YHVH. Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God [Ulhim] shouted for joy? In the case of the angels, it is obviously a matter of a supernatural rapid creation by the Father Creator. The Supreme Creator is the Father YHVH and not the Word who later became the man Yahushua. This office of intermediary or mediator in the physical creation of the other physical beings is the concept of procreation which was applied to the human genetic procreation (see 5.6.3 The Physical Process). We shall understand thus the procreation fundamentally as being the creation by the Father Creator of a being or any thing through another inferior being who holds no intrinsic power. Contrary to the human procreation which requires the insemination of a mother with a period of gestation, the creation of the angels took place in a very short moment. According to the verses of the Psalm 148 above, an army of angels has suddenly appeared in fulfillment of the audible command. At least, it is a coherent hypothesis deducted from these verses. It is a procreation similar to that of Eve who was formed from Adam's rib. In fact, we read that she was created in his rib as a separate DNA code, which code was created in his rib on the 6th day. Also, it is plausible and logical that the physical DNA code of the Word was used to create the angels according to the same image and the same nature as the Word, that is, having a physical body in which a spirit of life dwells (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). The Word would thus be the progenitor of the angels from the fact of the use of his DNA code as physical progenitor. As being the first physical progenitor through whom everything and all creatures were created, this being called the Word and YHVH, is the biologic father of the angels and of all men through Adam (see 5.7 The Physical Fatherhood). Eve has the same nature as Adam, because she was created through Adam with a human DNA code. This procreation perfectly respects the genetic laws which we know today: the children are the same physical nature that their progenitor 289
father. The only exception is the Word who's Father is Pure Spirit. The Word is the first physical creation and the first physical son of the Father Creator who alone is Pure Immaterial Spirit. That is why the first son is called the beginning of the physical creation. Revelation 3:14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of Creator Father: Contrary to the popular beliefs and the teachings of the so-called scholars, the being YHVH who is the Ulhim present in the narrative of creation was the person in the presence of the patriarchs and the prophets in the Old Testament. It was not the Father Creator in the presence of those men but it was indeed the only son called the Word and also YHVH like his Father Creator. It will clearly be demonstrated in this work by means of the biblical verses that the angels are simply men of celestial origin with whom we possess the same image and the same likeness because we were procreated by the same Ulhim progenitor (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). However, because of the sin of Adam and our sins, we have lost the participation and the access to the powers granted by the Father Creator. Genesis 1:26 God (0430 Ulhim) said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Contrary to all the popular beliefs, this Ulhim who pronounced these words was the angel, the being called the Word and YHVH (see 6.1 The Word). The Father Creator was not present on earth in person at the creation of Adam nor at any other time. Indeed, Adam was procreated by the angel of YHVH in his image by using his own DNA code (see 4.1 The Beginning of the Creation and 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). We understand that the loyal angels have a continuous life, that is, they do not die as long as they do not sin, just like Adam had continuous life (see 5.5 Continuous Life). However, we also understand that they are not intrinsically immortal but that they can die if they disobey their Father Creator. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of Creator Father is eternal life in Christ Jesus [messiah Yahushua] our Lord. Knowing that Father YHVH's justice makes exception of nobody, the angels also are subjected to death if they sin. The fallen angels were not exempted from death as it will be shown (see 5.14 The 1 st Death and 6.3.1 The Mortality of Angels). 290
Moreover, it is written that Yahushua lived as an angel in the beginning but he left his angel's life to become a man through his birth through Myriam (Mary) (see 6.4.4 His Preexistence). He had to abandon his angelic body to live as a man. Otherwise, he would have been in 2 places simultaneously or he would have been a whole angel in a human body, that is a spirit possessing a man. Furthermore, it is clear that Yahushua also died as a man. Having been dead for 3 days and 3 nights, he could not still be a live angel in the grave but indeed he was a dead man and a dead angel. He then rose from the dead to take the place which he had before as angel with his Fathere Creator. John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world (2889 kosmos) was. Thus, before the physical universe was created, he was with the Father Creator. Several interventions by angels with humans are reported in the Scriptures. The angels are seen by humans. They speak with humans. They eat with humans. Abraham discussed with 3 angels (Gen. 18:1 ff.). Jacob has even fought physically with an angel who was a physical man and Jacob overcame. Genesis 32:24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. 25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. 26 And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks." But he said, "I will not let You go unless You bless me!" 27 So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob." 28 And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God (430 Ulhim) and with men, and have prevailed." Hosea 12:4 yea, he had power over the angel [04397 malak], and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake with us, These verses of Genesis are translated to say that this angel was in fact a physical man SHD 0376 iysh. It will be demonstrated in this work that the angels are simply men of a celestial origin but not very different from earhtly mortal human beings. The angels thus have a physical body but they exercise powers superior to sinful men. It is clear in the Bible that some earthly mortal men have exercised as many supernatural powers of the Father as the angels. There were prophets of the past such as Elijah who stoped the rain. Above all there was the man Yahushua. He thus demonstrated that the angels were not extremely superior to men. Some people believe that the loyal angels are pure spirits without physical bodies, making them so completely different from men and by this fact, having the same nature as Father YHVH, contrary to the Bible which 291
asserts that men are a little lower than the angels. This is an important revelation which places the angels much more nearer to men than nearer to Father YHVH who is pure Spirit. The fact that a physical human being is only a little lower than the angels, excludes that the angels would be pure spirits without physical bodies. How can the angels be as the Father who is pure Spirit and then say that men are created just a little lower? Why are these verses not understood to mean that the angels are only a little superior to men ? What superiority had the angels over the man Yahushua ? Considering the miracles which Yahushua carried out as a man, it is evident that this man Yahushua was only a little lower than the angels. Nor Yahushua nor the angels nor any man had any power to carry out miracles but all received the miracles from Father Creator according to the fulfillment of His plan and His prophecies. Moreover, we find another translation which may confuse the concept of the angel's small supriority over man in Psalm 8:5. Certain versions translate ' lower than God (Ulhim) ' whereas others translate ' lower than the angels '. Psalm 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels (0430 Ulhim), and hast crowned him with glory and honour. (AV) Psalm 8:5 For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor. (ASV) In this verse, the original word is 0430 Ulhim which is translated everywhere else and also in the Septuagint However, most of the English and French biblical versions translate by ' lower than the angels ' in the New Testament, as well as the translation of the Septuagint. Hebrews 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels [32 aggelos angel]; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Hebrews 2:9 But we see Yahushua, who was made a little lower than the angels [32 aggelos angel] for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of Creator Father should taste death for every man. How can we explain this apparent incoherence of the original texts and of the translators ? There is a simple answer : the Ulhim in question is/was an angel as shown in the Bible and in the present work. The great difference of power between the loyal angels and the earthly men is due to the sinful state of man. It is because men are sinners and have not enough faith that they exercise no 292
such powers. The proof is that Yahushua who was a man as all the others, did miracles which only the angels could do. Also, if we had faith like Yahushua, we could do such miracles. Such miracles were already done by Yahushua's disciples and will still be done.The 2 witnesses who are men also, will do miracles before the whole world in the last days. The fact that the angels can become invisible to men would require, as some believe, that they materialize and dematerialize at will. The fact is that they can simply make men capable of seeing them or not according to the circumstances. Otherwise, the angels can modify certain functions of the human brain to blind partially men and prevent them from seeing certain physical objects and other (see 6.3.2 The Invisibility of the Angels). We also saw at the Feast of Weeks called Pentecost how the functions of the human brain were affected to allow that a single person be understood by several individuals in their native languages. The angels are not pure spirits like the Father Creator. Consequently, This false doctrine of immaterial angels may well be the source of the false doctrine of the immortal soul which would be an autonomous independent bodiless spirit. In fact, besides the Father Creator YHVH who alone is an Immaterial Being, no spirit can live independantly outside of a physical body as Yahushua proved concerning the unclean spirits (see 6.6 The Unclean Spirits). The loyal angels still have a physical body like Yahushua who was resurrected in his physical body. The irrefutable proof is given by the messiah himself who, being resurrected and having received immortality from his Father, confirms that he has a body of flesh and bone, which a spirit does not have. He confirms that he was resurrected in a physical body and that he is not a spirit, that is, not an autonomous independent bodiless spirit but that it has a spirit, thus refuting the false doctrines of the immaterial angels and the resurrection in a bodiless spirit. Luke 24:39 See my hands and my feet, it is indeed me; touch me and see: a spirit has neither flesh nor bone, as you see that I have. It is undeniable that the messiah was resurrected as a physical angel as he was before but this time to receive immortality from his Father Creator as the new man who is the new creation (see 10.5 The Wave Sheaf Offering). Matthew 22:30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of Creator Father in heaven. Yahushua confirms that we will reecive the same physical nature as the loyal angels at the resurrection, that is a physical body with continous life (see 5.5 Continous Life). This physical nature is identical in the 1st resurrection as in the 2nd. However, in the case of the 1st resurrection, this physical body will undergo a change where it will become a physical incorruptible immortal body (see 5.16.1 The Change). As Yahushua is the first man to rise and become immortal, he became again an angel who is the new man of the new creation. 293
1Corinthiens 15:47 The first man [444 anthropos man], taken from the earth, is earthly; the second man [444 anthropos man] is from heaven. Here, the Bible declares clearly that a man came from heaven. This implies that these messengers (angels) from heaven are in fact men of celestial origin, that is created differently and who exercised powers superior to the mortal earthly men. All power always comes from the Father Creator. This verse also confirms that the angels are not pure immaterial spirits as the great majority may believe, even among the so-called Christian churches. If Yahushua had been a pure bodiless spirit, he would not have shown himself to his disciples as a man to tell them that he was of flesh and bone. He would never have lied. Furthermore, Yahushua showed his same body which he had before he died, that is with the wound scars on his feet and his hands. John 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, Put out your finger, and see my hands; and put your hand here into my side: and be no longer in doubt but have belief. It is written that his flesh would not know corruption. According to the false assertions of some, the flesh is supposed to disappear and only the spirit would be resurrected without a body. Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ [messiah Yahushua], that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This verse asserts and confirms the physical permanent resurrection and not only a temporary or transitional physical resurrection towards an immaterial state. All this human theory of bodiless spirits is completely contrary to the Bible and against the reality of Yahushua and his resurrection. Obviously, we must make a distinction between the loyal angels and the fallen angels. The fallen angels are those who joined Satan in the rebellion. They are now called demons, devils or unclean spirits. They don't have anymore their physical bodies but they dwell in living beings who suffer from their evil influences as evil behaviors or as diseases (see 6.6 The Unclean Spirits). Men in high authory today, with the help of the unclean spirits, perform so-called miracles by means of very advanced technologies, even to deceive the whole humanity, and even the elect if it was possible. Matthew 24:24 "For false christs [5580 pseudochristos] and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. The angels do not know all the secrets of Father YHVH. They must exercise their 294
faith also and continue to obey the Father Creator. 1Peter 1:12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven——things which angels desire to look into. Some of the angels (a third part) indeed disobeyed and became demons or unclean spirits because they sinned. They suffered the 1st death by losing their physical bodies. Revelation 12: 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. Jude 1:6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; In the past, some disobedient angels even decided to beget children with human women (see 6.9 The Giants) This fornication must be for those who have eyes, another irrefutable proof that the angels had physical bodies with a DNA code and it also proves that they had carnal desires. Genesis 6: 2 that the sons of El saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And YHVH said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4 There were giants [nephilim] on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of El came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the great day. We must not pray to the angels or worship them because we have worship the only True Creator Father YHVH (see 8.2.1.1 Prayers). Thus, Yahushua being an angel also, a messenger, we must not worship Yahushua in the same way as the Father Creator (see 7.13 His Worship). The following verse confirms that the angels are not really superior to men when the angel says to John that he is only a companion at the same level as John and the other brethren. 295
Revelation 19: 9 Then he said to me, "Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’" And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God [Father Creator YHVH]." 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Yahushua. Worship God [Father Creator YHVH]! For the testimony of Jesus [Yahushua] is the spirit of prophecy." In summary, we can conclude that the loyal angels have the following characteristics: 1) They are created by Father Creator YHVH through the Word, their biologic progenitor 2) They have a physical body similar to men and vice versa 3) They live continually by being loyal and obedient to Father YHVH and to the son YHVH 4) They can make themselves selectively invisible or visible to men at will 5) They can eat, drink, speak, walk like men 6) They are like men but they can use supernatural powers granted by the Father YHVH 7) They are like men with the same dimensions 8) They do Father YHVH's will and His work in all things 9) They are servants of Father YHVH for the benefit of Yahushua and men 10) The angels who sinned have suffered the 1 st death and remain as unclean spirits on this earth
6.3.1 The Humanity of the Angels Here is a term which seems at first sight contradictory or strange. In fact, were does the human nature of men come from ? How can the angels be human, sin excluded ? If the new man in Yahushua became as the angels of heaven, how can we refute the resemblance between both ? It will be demonstrated from the Bible that the angels are indeed men but of a nature only a little different and only a little superior to earthly men. The celestial men (angels) are certainly superior to the earthly men because of their celestial origins and of their loyalty which allows them to live continuously (see 5.5 Continuous Life). In contrast, sinful man has inherited weakness, sufferings and death from his disobediance as the disobedient angels suffered the same also. We can see that the Bible designates 296
the angels as being men. Unless we can reject these verses as fraudulou, we must accept the simple truth declared in the Bible. It is on this basis that the proof of this humanity is established when the Holy Scriptures call the angels as men. The angels have the same human forms and dimensions. Revelation 21:17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. Paul also reminds the believers to be hospitable because angels are present among us as men. Hebrew 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. In the following verse, 3 angels are called men and showed themselves to Abraham, including the being YHVH having a completely human form. Genesis 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before YHVH. Furthermore, the last part of the verse above is a proof that this being YHVH could not be the Father Creator YHVH because Abraham was in his presence. Yahushua clearly said that nobody ever was in the presence of the Father Creator YHVH. We know now that it was the son YHVH called the Word. After the resurrection of Yahushua and his return to his angelic previous office, Paul mentions definitively Yahushua as still being a man. 1Timothy 2:5 5 For there is one Creator Father and one Mediator between Creator Father and men, the Man Christ Jesus [ messiah Yahushua] Paul knew very well where was Yahushua, i.e. in heaven with his Father Creator. Nevertheless, Paul declares the nature of Yahushua as being a man even after his resurrection and his ascension. Paul also knew the transformation involved after the resurrection, i.e. incorruptibility and immortality. Paul thus knew that Yahushua had become an immortal man in the presence of the angels, i.e. having a physical body. Yahushua had himself explained the final nature of the resurrection, i.e. like the loyal angels with continuous life (see 5.5 Continuous Life). Matthiew 22:30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of Creator Father in heaven Luke 20:36 "nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of Creator Father, being sons of the resurrection. 297
Yahushua did explain that we would be as the angels in heaven not only in image but in nature. Indeed, we were created in the image of the angel YHVH. That is why verse 36 adds certain aspects of the resurrection which exceeds the image. Yahushua was resurrected and showed himself to his disciples in flesh and bone, as a man, as an angel. Yahushua was resurrected and showed himself to his disciples in flesh and in bone, as a man who was now an angel, i.e. a messenger. When he said to his disciples that he was himself in flesh and bone, he thus demonstrated that he was the new immortal man at the same level as the angels. We must trust the words of Yahushua who confirmed that men will be like the faithful angels, as himself had become like the faithful angels at his resurrection. Verse 36 above confirms continuous life for both resurrections, but the 1st will be followed by a change to immortality (see5.16.1 The Change). However, considering Paul's statements, the angels were a little superior to human beings. This is confirmed by the fact that Yahushua was completely human but that he was only a little lower than the angels! Psalms 8:5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. Hebrews 2:7 You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands. 8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. 9 But we see Yahushua, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of Creator Father, might taste death for everyone. A little lower is a concept that excludes that the angels would be bodiless immortal spirit beings as only the Creator Father is. If the angles were so, they would be much greater than men and not only a little above men. In fact, in that case they would be closer to Father YHVH than to men. When he was going to worship an angel, John was warned by the angel that he is simply his companion, his brethren in the faith, a servant like him. Revelation 22:8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 Then he said to me, "See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant [4889 collegue], and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship Creator Father." In the heavenly throne room, Yahushua is still simply described as the son of the man. 298
Revelation 1:13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. Revelation 14:14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. Yahushua is thus at the right-hand of his Father Creator as the son of man but also as the new immortal man. 1 Corinthians 15:45 45 And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord [Creator Father] from heaven. A man who comes from heaven is a confirmation of the humanity of the angels and thus of the future nature of men. However, we invert the ordre of comparison by saying that the angels are as men. In reality, it is man who is like the angels. Let us not forget in which image man was created : in the image of the angel YHVH and of the other angels who had the same image (see 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). Genesis 1:26 And God [0430 Ulhim] said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God [0430 Ulhim] created man in his own image, in the image of God [0430 Ulhim] created he him; male and female created he them. In fact, man did receive firstly the image of his Ulhim in his physical body with continous life but man is called to share the spiritual nature of his Father Creator like his Ulhim who has become the new immortal man. 2 Peter 1:4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. The divine nature in question is the physical nature of the Ulhim from whom we were physically procreated. The following verse confirms exactly that we were procreated by this Ulhim Acts 17:29 If then we are the offspring [genos, descendant 1085] of God [2316 theos Ulhim], it is not right for us to have the idea that God [2304 theios godhead] is like gold or silver or stone, 299
formed by the art or design of man. Furthermore, the Bible confirms that now resurrected and having immortality with the name of his Father YHVH, it is the man Yahushua who will judge for his Father. Acts 17:31 Because a day has been fixed in which all the world will be judged in righteousness by the man who has been marked out by him for this work; of which he has given a sign to all men by giving him back from the dead.… In a coherent way, Satan as angel, is clearly identified as being a physical man, being killed, eaten by worms and then burned with the fire (see 6.5 Satan). Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! … 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man [0376 iysh human being] that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; Sin excluded, man is equivalent to the angel and the angel is equivalent to man even if man was created for a little time a little lower than the angels. The angels are also like men because: 1) angels have a physical body of the same human from and dimensions 2) they walk on earth as men 3) they speak with men like men 4) they fight with men (Jacob) 5) they eat and drink as men 6) they exercise faith to carry out miracles as men 7) they took women to procreate human beings 8) they die like men when they sin

6.3.2 The Mortality of Angels There is a popular belief which asserts that the angels are immortal. The Bible demonstrates exactly the opposite. The angels are indeed mortal and they are subject to death if they sin. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God [Creator Father] is eternal life in Christ Yahushua our Lord [Ulhim]. Knowing that Father YHVH's justice makes acceptations of no one, the fallen angels were subjected to the 1st death. The fallen angels are not exempted from death, as it will be demonstrated (see 5.14 The 1st Death). When Scriptures say that the mortal man Yahushua was only a little inferior to angels, they could not be immortal. Psalm 8:5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. A little lower is a concept that excludes that the angels would be immortal bodiless pure spirit beings as only Father YHVH is. If the angles were so, they would be much superior to men and not only a little superior to men. In fact, in that case, they would be much closer to Father YHVH than to men. It is demonstrated that the loyal angels have continuous life because they do not sin, i.e. they obey perfectly the only True Creator Father YHVH (see 5.5 Continuous Life). It is continuous life that Adam and Eve would have preserved if they had not disobeyed. It is not immortality but continuity. Once again, Yahushua revealed to us the Truth of this doctrine as he did on the other numerous doctrines. Moreover, it is written that Yahushua lived as an angel from the beginning (see 6.8 The Pre-existence of Yahushua) but he left his angelic life to become a man from his birth through Myriam ( Mary). To all practical purpose, he died as angel to live as a man, otherwise, he would have been in 2 places at the same time or he would have been a whole angel living in a human body. Furthermore, it is clear that Yahushua also died as a man. Having died for 3 days and 3 nights, he could not be another angel living in the sepulcher but indeed a dead man. He was then resurrected to regain the place which he had before, i.e. as an angel with his Father Creator. John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world (kosmos 2889) was. The fallen angels underwent the 1st death because of their disobedience (see 6.6 The Unclean Spirits). This fact is hidden from the world as the rest of the biblical truths to impose other false doctrines such as the reincarnation of human beings (see 5.13 Reincarnation). The fallen angels devoid of their physical body, are 302
forbidden to return to heaven, from where they were cast out and are condemned to roam on the earth as immaterial unclean spirits. That is why they must possess living bodies to survive. Satan will be thrown in the lake of fire at the time fixed by the only True Creator Father YHVH (see 11.7.3 The Lake of Fire). The lamentation sent to the prince and to the king of Tyr (Ezekiel 28:1-19) concerns specifically Satan. Ezekiel 28:14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 18 "You defiled your sanctuaries By the multitude of your iniquities, By the iniquity of your trading; Therefore I brought fire from your midst; It devoured you, And I turned you to ashes upon the earth In the sight of all who saw you. Satan suffered firstly the 1st death with his physical body burned into ashes ( v.18 ). He will encounter the 2nd death with his body and his spirit. Revelation 20:10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Matthiew 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: The lake of fire may be understood as the eternal death void of consciousness. Some propose it may be a spiritual purification without a real death (see 5.15 The 2nd Death and 11.03.3 Universal Salvation?).

6.3.3 Angels' Invisibility The Bible clearly describes that the angels can sometimes be invisible to mortal men. This phenomenon is incorrectly explained by the great majority of the world with the false beleif that the angels are purely immaterial beings without physical bodies. The fact that the angels can make themselves selectively invisible at will to men could suppose that they materialize and dematerialize at will. It is not the case as the Bible demonstrates it. The fact is that they can simply render men incapable to see them by making them partially blind as we can see in the following incident with Elisha: 2Kings 6:15 And when the servant of the man of El arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?" 16 So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, "LORD [YHVH], I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then YHVH opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. So, Elisha could see the horses and the chariots of fire of the army of YHVH but the servant could not see them until his eyes were opened. Logically, this army could not be material for one and not material for the other but it was simply invisible for one, i.e. specifically hidden from the eyes of the servant ( v.17 ) and of any other selectively. We still have another incident which describes the same phenomenon of invisibility of the angels with Balaam and his ass. Numbers 22:22 And God [Ulhim]’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of YHVH stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. 23 And the ass saw the angel of YHVH standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. 24 But the angel of YHVH stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. 25 And when the ass saw the angel of YHVH, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again. 26 And the angel of YHVH went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 27 And when the ass saw the angel of YHVH, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 28 And YHVH opened 305
the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. 30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. {upon…: Heb. who hast ridden upon me} {ever since…: or, ever since thou wast, etc} 31 Then YHVH opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of YHVH standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. {fell…: or, bowed himself} 32 And the angel of YHVH said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me: {to…: Heb. to be an adversary unto thee} 33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. This selective invisibility is still clearly demonstrated where the ass saw the angel whereas Balaam did not see him. Balaam was selectively blinded not to see the angel according to this phenomenon of selective invisibility. Balaam was able to see the angel only when YHVH opened the eyes. It is clear that angels do have power on human senses as the angel Gabriel prevented John 's father to speak until John was born. We have seen that same ability with prophets such as Ezekiel who could not speak (Ez. 3:26). It is then evident that the angels and all their objects are physical but are made invisible and imperceptible to men individually as needed. Furthermore, the angels cannot create from nothing. Only the True Creator YHVH alone can do it. If the angels were capable of materializing at will, the demons would have created new physical bodies for themselves and would not be only unclean spirits (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit) who need to possess other human beings.

6.4 Yahushua Yahushua is a man miraculously born from a virgin from Juda's tribe according to the prophecies. Yahushua is the Hebrew name whereas he is called Jesus Christ in the different biblical translations. His name is pronounced Yahushua in conformity to the name of his Father YHVH (see 2.2.1.1 The Pronunciation of YHVH). Luke 1: 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by Creator Father to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord [Father Creator] is with you; blessed are you among women!" 29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30 Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with Creator Father. 31 "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Yahushua. 32 "He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord Creator Father will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 "And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end." According to the prophecies, his name would be Emmanuel even if we do not find the use of this name. Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord [Father Creator] Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Matthew 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "El with us." The suffix el is a diminutive for Ulhim. The meaning of the name Emmanuel confirms that our Ulhim, the angel of YHVH would live among us. Here is another example where the word god does not again represent the Father Creator. Since his creation, the son has represented his Father Creator who sits on His throne in heaven. Emmanuel does not designate Father Creator but indeed the Ulhim son among us (see 7.11 His Peculiarity). So, Yahushua is the only son physically begotten directly by the Creator Father YHVH . Whereas all men are born from a human mother and a father (except Adam and Eve), the biologic Father of Yahushua is the Father Creator YHVH 308
Himself. Yahushua was conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of his mother Myriam (Mary) (see 7.8 The Holy Spirit). It is through the Y and X chromosomes containing the physical DNA code representing his own image and the image of the immaterial Father Creator, which embryo was created for this purpose (see 7.9 His Image). Myriam was in fact a surrogate mother. Yahushua received in the womb of his mother, his personal spirit without the Holy Spirit (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). That is why he was called the only son of the Father a Creator, begotten directly in the flesh by the Father Creator according to the same genetic laws governing human procreation. However, Yahushua reveals himself that he had a preexistence before his human life (see 6.4.4 The Preexistence of Yahushua). He was created and lived as the Word, also called the angel YHVH (see 6.1 The Word and 6.2 Angel of YHVH). John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. It means that this being lived before and that his spirit which he had before in his angelic body of YHVH with his past memory, was transposed into this human fetus. In other words, it is the same individual spirit which lived in 2 physical bodies in 2 successive distinct lives before his resurrection. After his resurrection, we may also consider a 3rd life, that is, a new life as the new immortal man (see 6.13 The New Man). It would be important to note here that Yahushua was the first human son of the Father and that he was also the first created angel (see 4.1 The Beginning of Creation and 6.4.1 The Only Son). Yahushua repeated many times that he was sent by the Father Creator. John 17:18 "As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. ... 21 "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 "And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 "I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. 24 "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 "O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. John 20:21 Yahushua said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." 309
When he said that he was sent by the Creator Father, he confirmed that he was formerly this angel of YHVH who was in heaven with the Father. In other words, his spirit lived formerly in this angel's body (see 6.4.4 His Preexistence). Paul also confirms that Yahushua was this angel of YHVH . Galatians 4:14 14 And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel of Creator Father, even as Christ Yahushua. 1Corinthians 10:2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ [Yahushua]. The angel son YHVH was the man who came from heaven and lived as the man Yahushua. 1 Corinthiens 15:47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord [Yahushua] from heaven. Exode 15:3 YHVH is a man [0376 iysh man] of war; YHVH is His name. Furthermore, an important prophecie of the old testament identifies clearly the angel of YHVH as being Yahushua who returns on the clouds. Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of YHVH is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst. 2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then YHVH will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle. 4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south. 5 Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee As you fled from the earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Thus YHVH my El will come, And all the saints with You. This prophecy is confirmed in the new testament. Matthew 24:30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 310
For reasons of limited space, the enumeration of all of Yahushua's activities will not be included here just as they were not all reported in the Scriptures. John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Yahushua did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. In reality, the words and the actions of Yahushua constitute the revelation of secrets which were hidden before his advent. Everyone must read and study the life of Yahushua to receive these important revelations and understand the Creator Father YHVH's fantastic plan. Through his perfect obedience to the Father Creator and to His just Laws and to his mission unto his death as the atonement lamb, Yahushua received from his Creator Father, the authority on the whole creation at his resurrection from the dead. He came as a mortal man to carry out the atoning sacrifice. He will return again on earth with power as king of kings to establish the Kingdom of his Father Creator YHVH. Yahushua, through his victory in Faith against death, he became our leader to bring us and give us salvation. Colossians 1:12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible Creator Father, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. 21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled Yahushua has become the mediator of the salvation of the creation through his perfect and complete obedience and by the ultimate sacrifice of his life. Yahushua became the mediator of the power of his Creator and Father Creator YHVH . In his 1st existence, he was the first of all the creation of the Father 311
Creator (see 6.1 The Word). To be the first in creation and have preeminence as mentionned in verse 18, Yahushua (then being YHVH et the Word) was thus the first physical created being even before Adam, thus the first of the physical creation. Revelation 3:14 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: [Père Créateur]: After his 2nd life (earthly) and his resurrection, he became the first creature of the new immortal creation of the new man, again the first of that new creation. Colossians 3:9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ [Yahushua] is all and in all. 1Timothy 2:5 For there is one Creator Father and one Mediator between Creator Father and men, the Man Christ Yahushua, The Father Creator YHVH is distinct from the man Yahushua who is His creature and is distinct also from all His creation. Contrary to the false charges of the enemy, messiah Yahushua was perfectly obedient to the commandments of his Father who is also our Spiritual Father. John 20:17 Yahushua said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My Creator Father and your Creator Father.’" John 15:10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. Yahushua is our perfect example who we should imitate with the faith which our Creator Father gives us and with His grace because we are not perfect. Yahushua observed the Sabbath day as all other commandments. How can anyone be called Christian if he does not follow Christ? 1Corinthians 11:1 Christ [Yahushua].
Imitate
me,
just
as
I
also
imitate
John 14:6 Yahushua said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. By saying that he was the way, the Truth and the life, Yahushua confirmed that we must follow him, i.e. imitate him in all things by means of the Holy Spirit in 312
us. Yahushua was of the tribe of Judah with his DNA code and practiced the perfect Isralite way from his Creator Father and not any human religion. Those who call Yahushua Lord, Lord, and who do not keep like him the perfect laws of his Father Creator, are impostors. Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord [El], Lord [El],’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Yahushua came first time as the atonement lamb. He will return a second time as the heir king of the earth to remove all the wicked who refuse to submit themselves to the legal heir and who usurp his authority and rob his inheritance. Matthew 24:30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Yahushua is the Ulhim son delegated by His Father to establish His kingdom on the earth. At the appointed time, he will hand over the kingdom to His Father who is the Supreme Master of His creation (see 7.16 His Presence on Earth). 1Corinthians 15:24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God [El] the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. Although he is a creature and not the Creator, Yahushua has become the commander-in-chief of the armies and of creation under his Creator Father. He is the authorized representative of the Father Creator to carry out all His will with His power. Yahushua deserves respect and honor for his sacrifice and his high status. As he said himself, the worship is exclusively reserved for the Father Creator YHVH (see 7.13 The Worship).
313
6.4.01 His Ministry Yahushua began his ministry after John the Baptist was arrested and put in prison.
314
6.4.1 Only Son There is a concept which must be reviewed by the biblical students and scholars alike. The popular belief is that Messiah is called the only son exclusively because of his human birth, that is, because he was begotten in the human flesh by his Father Creator. Yahushua was the only son in his preexistence as the Word and the angel YHVH (see 6.1 The Word and 6.2 The Angel YHVH). We are confronted with biblical verses which assert that Yahushua is the only son of the Father Creator. The term only son excludes obviously other sons. How can we consider these verses ? Are they incorrectly or fraudulently translated ? John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten [3439 monogenes] of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:18 18 No one has seen Creator Father at any time. The only begotten [3439 monogenes] Son [5207 huios], who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. John 3:16 16 "For Creator Father so loved the world that He gave His only begotten [3439 monogenes] Son [5207 huios], that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten [3439 monogenes] Son [5207 huios] of Creator Father. Certain English versions use the word 'begotten' to specify that Yahushua would be the only human son begotten in the flesh directly by the Father Creator. In this context, could we consider that there are other created sons but not begotten directly by the Father Creator in the flesh on earth or otherwise, in heaven? 1 John 4:9 In this the love of Creator Father was manifested toward us, that Creator Father has sent His only begotten [3439 monogenes] Son [5207 huios] into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved Creator Father , but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Most biblical students believe that Yahushua is the only son because he was the only son who was begotten in the human flesh. Thus, they apply the adjective only to the word begotten and not to the word son. However, according to 1John 4:9, we read that the son was sent into the world before being humanly begotten. The Bible clearly shows that the son was sent from heaven where he 315
was formerly the only son and where he has returned after his resurrection. John 3:13 "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. Logically, this son was thus already created and begotten as an only son even before he was sent to be born as a man in flesh and blood on earth. These verses above are quoted from the new testament. The modern translations may not be clear enough for many to convey his full sonship. But what do we find in the old testament ? Proverbs 30:4 Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know? Zechariah 12:10 "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. How can we understand these verses? About which son are these verses speaking of ? Proverbs above mentions His son in singular not plurial. If the numerous angels were the direct sons of the Father, why does this verse limit in singular to His son as if the Father Creator had only one son. In Zechariah, again, we read of the angel YHVH talking of himself as a only son and a firstborn. We must recognize and accept logically the known facts. 1) Yahushua was directly physically begotten by the Father Creator in his mother Myriam. He is confirmed as the only son of the Father Creator (6.4.11 His Preeminence). 2) Yahushua revealed that he was, in his preexistence, the Word, the first creation through whom everything and all living beings were created, being again the only son (see 4.2.2 At the Beginnings). 3) By being the progenitor (as DNA supplier) of the angels and Adam, the Word (Yahushua) is thus the biologic father of all living beings, angels and men (see 5.6.1 Primordial Procreation). Thus, he is from his preexistence as the Word, the firstborn and only son of the Father Creator. Colossians 1:16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that 316
in all things He may have the preeminence. The following verse confirms that none of the other angels is the direct son of the Father Creator. Hebrew 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? The following verse was apparently manipulated to hide the truth concerning the angel of YHVH, called the Ulhim in the Old Testament. Deuteronomy 32:8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of men, he fixed the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God [ Ulhim ], [LXXE and RSV] Most of the modern versions have translated the last part of the verse above by 'children of Israel '. Logically, the word God in this verse designates the angel YHVH and not the Father Creator who is represented by his only son called also the Word. The children in question in this verse are indeed the sons of the angel YHVH who contributed his DNA code in the creation / procreation of these angels by the Father Creator. The inevitable conclusion is that Yahushua is the only direct son of the Father Creator in his angelic life and then in his human life. All other living beings, angels and men, were created and/or procreated through this entity called the Word, also called the angel of YHVH in the old testament. This angel YHVH is distinct from his Father Creator YHVH by having a physical body and a distinct spirit (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). Neither this angel YHVH, nor any other angel, had the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, they would have been immortal since the Holy Spirit contains immortality and grants it to the bearer. Yet, humans who have the Holy Spirit and the deposit of immortality, will become immortal only after the 1st resurrection, just like Yahushua received it after his resurrection. The biblical translations which mention the sons of god, is a misleading statement which misleads into error by supporting the false interpretation of numerous biological sons of the Father Creator. The word god in these verses is originally Ulhim, indicating rather the presence of the son YHVH and not the Father Creator. Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God [430 Ulhim] came to present themselves before the LORD [03068 YHVH], and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD [03068 YHVH]. Job 38: 7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God [430 Ulhim] shouted for joy? 317
Because of the exclusive delegation of the only son YHVH and of the symbiosis of representation, the reading of the old testament does not easily allow the distinction between the Father Creator and His son YHVH (see 7.7.1 Mediatory Symbiosis). This dissimulation of the Father Creator in the old testament is confirmed by Yahushua when he asserts that he came to reveal his Father Creator. Matthew 11:27 "All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Yahushua could not reveal the Father Creator if the Father was already revealed in the old testament. This concept of dissimulation of the Father Creator is completely ignored by most of the Bible students who believe that the Father Creator was on earth personally to act. In reality, the only son YHVH acted and spoke for his Creator Father in all instances because no man can see the Father Creator and survive (see 7.12 His Separation). The son had the same function as the man Yahushua, that is, to speak and to act for his Father, as he did as the Word in his preexistence, as the only mediator. 1Titus 2:5 For there is one God [Creator Father YHVH], and one mediator between God [Creator Father YHVH] and men, the man Christ Jesus [messiah Yahushua]; Take note. Please note that the man Yahushua was formerly the angel YHVH and the use of both names implies the same individual in different eras or ages. The filiation of the only son YHVH was only physical at first. Yahushua was the only human son according to his direct physical creation/procreation by the Father Creator. No other human being was directly created by the Father Creator but all the others were created / procreated through the only son YHVH called the Word and Yahushua (see 6.4.5 His Human Relation). At this physical level, Yahushua will remain the biological father of all the living beings, men and angels. However, this physical fatherhood will be made secondary by the spiritual fatherhood which belongs to the Father Creator only. We see that the spiritual permanent filiation is established by the gift of the Holy Spirit and only in the resurrection as the spiritual procreation by the Father Creator. Although Yahushua calls the elect his brethren, as long as these did not receive immortality, they are as children under a custody, no better than slaves. Galatians 4:1 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, At the 1st resurrection, Yahushua will not be any more the only son but he will be 318
the elder son of the great family of the Father Creator YHVH. As elder son, Yahushua obtains a double portion and the birthright (see 6.4.6 His Celestial Filiation). Deuteronomy 21:17 "But he shall acknowledge the son of the unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. The conclusion confirms the status of only son to Yahushua, a son created by the Father Creator as the angel the Word at the beginning and the created / procreated son as the man Yahushua. This son received the superiority on all the creation and on all the creatures directly from the Father Creator who is His Father and His Creator. Yahushua is not the Creator but indeed His created son. We can now better understand the confusion which exists in face of this fundamental reality of the Father Creator and of His only son. It is true that Yahushua is Ulhim, the Ulhim of Israel, but he is clearly distinct from his Father who is his Supreme El. 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ [Yahushua], the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ [Yahushua] is Creator Father. In other words, Yahushua is the Ulhim of the men but the Father Creator is El of Yahushua and of all. This hierarchy has never changed and will never change in eternity when the Father Creator will be eternally the Supreme El of all His creatures and of all His creation. 1 Corinthians 15:24 Then comes the end, when He [Yahushua] delivers the kingdom to Creator Father the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. Numerous miracles and even resurrections of the dead were carried out through the hands of Yahushua, i.e. through this only son but by the only power of the Father Creator. By Yahushua’s own admission, it is by the only power of the Father Creator that these miracles were carried out. John 14:10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. It is by this only power of the Father Creator that all creatures and all things were created through this being the Word called also YHVH, the procreator, who became Yahushua. As for the spiritual fatherhood, the Bible says clearly that all His creatures will become the spiritual sons of the Father Creator after the resurrection when immortality will be granted. We speak about spiritual procreation and adoption 319
by the Father Creator (see 7.3 The Spiritual Fatherhood). Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the Creator Father and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ [Yahushua], who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ [Yahushua], 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ [Yahushua] to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, Some interpret the verse below to say that the son YHVH called the Word was not a messenger (an angel). Hebrew 1:5 For to which of the angels [messengers] did He ever say: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You"? And again: "I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son"? On the contrary, this verse confirms that Yahushua is indeed a messenger (an angel). He is rather the only messenger (angel) who was created and procreated directly by Father YHVH, as the first creature in the beginning and later on as the 1st human being created/procreated by the Father Creator. This makes of him the only son procreated directly by the Father YHVH. This verse confirms that the other angels were not procreated directly by the Father Creator but rather through the son YHVH as it is shown in the Bible and in this work.
6.4.2 His Genealogy There is some controversy concerning the genealogy of Yahushua. In fact, there are 2 genealogies shown in the New testament based on the descendants of the biological fathers (Matthew 1:1 and Luke 3:23). They differ from the point of David's descendants. Both mention Judah and David as ancestors of Yahushua with regard to Joseph, the husband of Myriam. However, Joseph is not the biologic father of Yahushua but only his adoptive father according to the law of YHVH. All the genealogy in Matthew 1 uses the procreation of the son by the biological father for all generations since Arbraham up to Joseph, the husband of Myriam who gave birth to Yahushua. However, Joseph did not procreate Yahushua and for this reason, it is absent in this genealogy in Matthew 1. In Luke 3, it is mentionned that people believed that Yahushua was the biologic son of Joseph. Evidently, only Joseph and Myriam knew of the miraculous procreation of Yahushua but Joseph had been warned by the angel to take Myriam with the miraculously conceived child. 320
Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. No matter the legality and the argumentation of this genealogy through Joseph, his legal adoptive father, we can also consider the genealogy of Yahushua through Myriam, his surrugate mother. In principle, one genealogy belongs to Joseph and the other belongs to Myriam and in particular to Myriam's father. It is the only justification to see 2 genealogies. The Holy Scriptures reveal to us that Myriam was related to Elisabeth of the tribe of Aaron according to the angel who announces to Myriam the birth of Yahushua. Luke 1:36 "Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. From these 2 verses, we could suppose that Myriam was descended from Aaron but we find the answer somewhere else. It is from the laws of YHVH that we know to which tribe Myriam belonged. The following story reveals the answer. Numbers 27:6 And YHVH spoke to Moses, saying: 7 "The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right; you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. By this law, Myriam had to be of the same tribe as Joseph, i.e. Juda and thus David also. Luke 1:27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary [Myriam]. Luke 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) Besides, we have to accept the fact of the biologic descent of Yahushua is confirmed by other biblical verses. Psalms 132:11 YHVH has sworn in truth to David; He will not turn from it: "I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body. Revelation 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has 321
prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals." Revelation 22:16 "I, Yahushua, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star." Romans 1:1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ [Yahushua], called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ [Yahushua] our Lord [Ulhim], who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 2 Timothy 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ [Yahushua], of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, So, we have the clear declaration of the angel Gabriel who announces it to his surrugate mother. Luke 1:32 "He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord Creator Father will give Him the throne of His father David. There should be no doubt that Yahushua's legal parents descended from David and from Judah. In the case of Joseph, it was through a legal adoption in YHVH's law that Joseph was the adoptive father. Furthermore, Myriam was a surrugate mother because the whole human embryo was created by the Father Creator and implanted in her womb. Thus, Yahushua received no chromosome from Joseph, nor from Myriam but received his own DNA which he formerly possessed as the angel of YHVH called the Word. Thus, his human genealogy is from his adoptive mother and father as a legally adopted child whereas the Father Creator is his real biological Father. In reality, Yahushua is the root of David, that is, he is David's ancestor as the procreator of all mankind through Adam. Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6.4.2.1 The 2 genealogies Here are below 2 genealogies examined and compared from Matthew 1:1 and from Luke 3:23. The one from Matthew is incomplete by omitting the generations between Abraham and Adam. However, we can inevitably recognize that the previous generations until Abraham are identical in both genealogies. Besides, we can understand that one genealogy corresponds to that of Joseph, the 322
husband of Myriam the mother of Yahushua. The other genealogy would be the one of Myriam's biological father who's name may be Joseph also unless his name is substituted by Joseph her husband who became master of Myriam. Joseph is the adoptive father of Yahushua and the legal guardian of Yahushua according to Father Creator's applicable law in the case of adoption. It is asserted that Yahushua is descendant from the tribe of David and Juda's tribe. To be the completely true, this assertion is confirmed in both genealogies, that of Joseph and that of Myriam. So, both genealogies are identical between Adam and David. From David, there is a separation of the descendants until Yahushua's generation. The number of generations in one is 41 whereas in the other one, it is 26. The obvious explanation is that in the lesser generations, the individuals lived longer. That is why there is no correspondence of time for these generations between David and Yahushua. For these generations, the names of the ancestors according to Matthew were spread randomly to reach Yahushua's time.

6.4.2.2 The Root of David We find several times in the Bible the expression ' son of David ', generally incorrectly understood in Yahushua's time as biological son of David '. However, Yahushua specified the correct understanding during his interventions reported below: Matthew 22:41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Yahushuasked them a question, 2 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord [2962 kurios YHVH], saying, 44 “ ‘The Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] said to my Lord [2962 kurios YHVH], Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet’? 45 If then David calls him Lord [2962 kurios YHVH], how is he his son?” Mark 12 :35 And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? 36 David himself, in the Holy Spirit, declared, “ ‘The Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] said to my Lord [2962 kurios YHVH], Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.’ 37 David himself calls him Lord [2962 kurios YHVH]. So how is he his son?” And the great throng heard him gladly. Evidently, Yahushua revealed that he was the biological ancestor of David and not his biological descendant. He confirmed that he was not the biological son of David, through Joseph but "only" his adopted son by the law of adoption. Yahushua received the human filiation through his mother to be called son of man. That is why, Yahushua can assert being at the same time the ancestor (the biological root) and descendant (adopted son) of David. (Matthew 1:1-17) Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelation 22:16 I Yahushua have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
327
6.4.3 His Name The name of messiah in the modern translations is Jesus but his Hebrew name is Yahushua. This name was translated as Joshua in the Old Testament from the Hebrew word Y@howshuwa‘ yeh-ho-shoo’-ah from James Strong's Hebrew dictionnary (SHD). According to this James Strong dictionnary, the name Yahushua is composed from the words 03068 YHVH and 03467 yasha 'yaw-shah' to save. Thus, Yahushua = " YHVH is salvation " or "YHVH saves" The word 03467 is also very close to the Hebrew word 03444 salvation 03444 y@shuw'ah (yesh-oo ’ aw) of the Strong dictionnary. Messiah Yahushua bore the name of his Father Creator YHVH in the Old Testament in his preexistence as the angel YHVH. In spite of the poor translations and the corruptions of the new testament, Yahushua still bore the name YHVH of his Father Creator YHVH. John 5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. In the New Testament, we find 102 times the expression lord Jesus. This word lord is the Greek word kurios which also means YHVH (see 2.2.1.1 The Name Lord). Thus, Yahushua was also called YHVH by his disciples and by Paul. The name Yahushua consists of the name of his Father YHVH with a suffix which indicates the action of saving. In fact, we could say that the messiah was called in Hebrew YHVH saves. Yahushua still bore the name of his Father after his resurrection and still will at his return (see 7.1 His Name and 6.2 The Angel of YHVH). Zechariah 14:3 Then shall YHVH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. The following verse confirms that the name YHVH of the Father which the son bears, will be written on the foreheads of the 144000 elect. Revelation 14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the 328
mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. Moreover, the following verse confirms that there is only one name, YHVH. Zechariah 14:9 And YHVH shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall YHVH be one, and his name one. The messiah Yahushua is often called Lord in the new testament. This term Lord can apply also to the son YHVH. Indeed, the Bible has revealed to us that the being called YHVH in the Old Testament, was in fact Yahushua in his pre-existence. Thus, in several verses of the new Testament, we can substitute the name YHVH and the name Yahushua to the word Lord (see 2.2.1.1 The Name Lord). For example, the day of the Lord is simply the day of YHVH (see 11.5.2 The Day of YHVH). Furthermore, according to the literal meaning of the text, the following verse confirms that the name of the Father and the name of the son is the same, that is, YHVH. However, in this verse, the Holy Spirit is not a person (see 2.6 Difficult Verses Matt. 28:19). Matthew 28:19 Go, make all the nations of the followers, baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son with the Holy Spirit (corrected translation) The messiah has also received other titles or names as follows. Yahushua is often called the son of the man. (See 6.4.5 His Human Filiation). Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. We saw that his name was also Immanuel which means Ulhim among us. Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, El with us. So, we can read that he bears another visible name at his return to earth. Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of Creator Father; He still bears other names. Revelation 19:16 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND Lord [Ulhim] of Lords [Ulhim ]. In Isaiah's prophecies, Yahushua is given other names. 329
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God [0410 el], The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. We find in this verse the name of everlasting father. Yahushua is indeed the biological immortal father of all humanity as being the procreator of all mankind through Adam, his son (see 5.6.2 Adamic Procreation). Also, he is called Mighty god, that is, a mighty Ulhim or prince.

6.4.4 His Preexistence We learn from Yahushua himself that he existed before his human life. He clearly revealed that he lived from the beginning as the entity called the Word (see 6.1 The Word). Many biblical verses confirm directly and indirectly his preexistence. Here are only a few verses which confirm it: John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world (kosmos 2889) was. In this verse 5 above, Yahushua reveals that he was with the Father Creator before the existence of the cosmos, i.e. before the creation of the physical universe. Furthermore, he reveals that he had a separate beginning from the rest of the creation and creatures (see 4.2.2 At the Beginnings). Again, Yahushua says in verse 24 below that the Father loved him before the creation of the universe and that he was planned to accomplish his atoning sacrifice in verse 20 below. John 17:24 "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world (2889 kosmos). 1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world <2889>, but was manifest in these last times for you, Again, in this above verse, we have confirmation that he lived before the foundation of the world. John 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." 57 Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" Yahushua says that in verse 24 above that he saw Abraham and even that Abraham saw him. There is indeed a meeting between Abraham and 3 men who are in fact 3 angels of whom the angel of YHVH (Genesis 18:1-33). Having irrefutably established that Yahushua has lived before, we should inevitably find him in the narrative of the Old Tetament. The modern scholars seem to completely ignore him among the individuals of the Old Testament. Furthermore, Yahushua has said repeatedly that he was sent by the Father. If he was sent, it implies that it was a living and conscious entity before his human birth. John 14:24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. 331
The individual who was seen and heard in the Old Testament was the angle YHVH (see 6.2 The Angel of YHVH). This angel lead Israel in the desert. 1Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ [messiah Yahushua]; This verse 4 above confirms that it was the same entity who was Yahushua who was with Israel in the desert. By understanding that the entity is simply a spirit in a body, then we can understand that the spirit in Yahushua was the same spirit in this angel of YHVH (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). Some people believe and teach that the angel of the Ols Testament was the only True Creator Father YHVH. It is impossible because Yahushua said that no man has ever seen the only True Creator Father YHVH (see 12.12 His Separation). 1 John 4:12 No man has ever seen Creator Father: if we have love for one another, Creator Father is in us and his love is made complete in us: Thus it was the angel of YHVH that men have seen and heard, and not the One True Creator Father YHVH who is Pure Immaterial Spirit (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). In verses above, it is clearly written that the man Yahushua had an existence before being born as a man. Such as explained in several parts of this work, the angels were / are beings having a physical body and a spirit, that is, having the same vital structure as the mortal men (see 6.3 The Angels). If Yahushua was a pure spirit (without body) before his procreation in the man Yahushua as most of the world believe, he would have simply taken place in the human embryo in the womb of Myriam ( Marie) his mother without changing his nature. In that case, he would still have been a complete angel who would have entered a human embryo. The possession of human beings by other spirits is normaly called demonic possession. Each human being receives a spirit from the Father Creator at his creation / procreation and this spirit returns to the Father at his death (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body and 5.14 The 1st Death). The physical body is simply a house for the spirit in man. The individual being is firstly the spirit which defines the individual with his spiritual characteristics and his talents, etc., which is compared here with a spiritual DNA code for each individual (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). In the case of Yahushua, the preexistent angel had to completely abandon his angelic celestial body to leave his angelic life and take another (human) life completely distinct from his previous angelic life. The conscious life is only possible when the spirit has a physical body through which the entity ( the spirit) can perceive the physical creation around him. So, by leaving his angelic body, the entity would die as angel and his spirit could be transferred then to the 332
human embryo and so, resume another life. The unclean spirits use this function to possess human beings and live there (see 5.13 Reincarnation and 6.6 The Unclean Spirits). In such a case of human possession, the unclean spirit must live with the spirit of the human being already living in this body. In the case of the human incarnation of the angel YHVH, it is the spirit of this angel which took place in this human body. The proof is given and explained by Yahushua himself that he was an angel before his human life and that he was an angel after his resurrection with a physical body: John 7:29 "But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me." In this verse 29 above, Yahushua speaks of the Father in heaven who sent him from heaven to earth. This confrims that he had a preexistence in heaven, as a celestial man, i.e. as an angel. John 8:14 Yahushua answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going. John 13:3 Yahushua, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from Creator Father and was going to Creator Father, In these verses 14 and 3 above, Yahushua says that he remembers where from he comes, and he knows that he would return there again once his mission was accomplished on earth. It is not as mortal man that he would take his place at the right hand of the Father in heaven but as the new immortal man, the new creature of the Creator YHWH YHVH. Furthermore, Yahushua confirmed that Moses spoke of him in the old testament. John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. Yahushua was sent from heaven where he was with the Father. John 8:42 Yahushua said to them, "If Creator Father were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from Creator Father; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. John 16:28 "I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father." Yahushua explains in verses 42 and 28 above that he was created by the Father, that he was with the Father in heaven where from he comes and where from he was sent by the Father for a mission on earth as a mortal human being. He also confirmed clearly that he would return to the Father. 333
These verses can be only explained by his preexistence in heaven with the Father Creator YHVH YHVH. His pre-existence can be understood with the proper understanding of the vital structure of the living beings, i.e. a spirit in a body. This spirit of the angel of YHVH was transferred from the celestial body of the angel of YHVH into the embryo which would become the man Yahushua. When the Bible asserts that Yahushua was made a little lower than the angels, it means that he took place in a new human physical body created for him to carry out his atoning mission. Psalm 8:5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. Hebrew 2:7 You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands. Hebrew 2:9 But we see Yahushua, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of Creator Father, might taste death for everyone. 1) He said that he would return to his previous office as an angel 2) He explained that in the resurrection, we are like angels in heaven 3) He was resurrected with a physical body, as a man also. The logical conclusion is that he was resurrected as the new man who becomes indeed in fusion man and angel, so that from both entities, he made a single one but with spiritual and physical immortality and incorruptibility. Some people will not believe nor understand what Yahushua said and meant and what he did and demonstrated to his disciples.
6.4.5 His Human Filiation Yahushua was a man of the same physical human nature as every man. However, because of his pre-existence, he had experience and a memory before his human life as the Word. The question of the Yahushua's human descent is interesting because the Bible expose a diversity in his relationship with humanity. At first, Isaiah mentions the fatherhood of Yahushua calling him eternal father ' (verse 6 below). Isaiah 9: 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty El, Everlasting Father, Prince 334
of Peace. How can he be a father if Yahushua was not married to procreate as a human being according to the Bible? Furthermore, of whom is he the father? It is as the procreative Word that Yahushua is a biologic father to all humanity. We now understand the concept of the physical procreation applied to the Word through whom all other angelic beings and Adam were created and procreated (see 5.6.2 The Adamic Procreation). In the situation where Yahushua was the Word, the term father applies as procreator (as the DNA code donor) of everything and all (see 6.1 The Word and 5.6.1 Primordial Procreation). It is important to note Yahushua's distinct creation with a separate DNA in Myriam, his surrogate mother. By being the biological procreator of Adam, Yahushua received in Myriam a body created with his own initial DNA of the angel of YHVH. Thus, he kept his precedence and his genealogical superiority. His body was completely human but according to the original celestial man. However, his body incorporated the blood with the purpose of his blood sacrifice, having thus, a body similar to the corrupted human body but preserving its initial physical purity. We must note in the verse below the expression in the likeness of sinful flesh. His flesh did not have what we all have at birth, what some people call the original sin. Romain 8:3 For Creator Father has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, Also, many times, in his human life, he is called and Yahushua calls himself the son of man. Luke 21:27 "Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. We can understand that he is a son of man through his adopted human genealogy through his surrogate mother and his legally adopted father Joseph. In effect, Yahushua is biologically the son of the Father Creator, so that Yahushua also possesses a heavenly Descent (see 6.4.1 Only Son) and 6.4.6 His Celestial Descent). Contrary to the popular beliefs, Yahushua continues to be called a son of man in his 2nd advent, when he will return with the power of his Father Creator. This concept should inevitably open our eyes on the actual physical nature of Yahushua who will be seen at His return and during his 1000 year rule. Furthermore, we find in the Bible that Yahushua calls the elect his brethren.. Hebrew 2:11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, How can we reconcile these 3 aspects of father, son and brother? How is 335
Yahushua our father, our son and our brother simultaneously? Unless these verses in question are mistranslations, we must consider the diversity of his human descent. From now on, we could already recognize 3 offices which Yahushua has fulfilled during his 3 lives if we distinguish them as follows. 1) At first, Yahushua lived as being the Word in his preexistence, as our biologic father (see 6.4.3 His Preexistence). 2) Then, he lived as an earthly man, taking legally David's genealogy from his surrogate mother and from his adopted father Joseph, as our physical brother (see 6.4.2 His Genealogy). 3) Finally, he lives eternally as the new perfect and immortal celestial man, as our spiritual brother (see 6.13 The New Man). With or without our understanding, these 3 functions of human relationship are present and confirmed by the Bible. He was the first created son and he remains the only son until the other sons will be added in plenitude by the resurrection of the elect to immortality. We could indeed make a link with the expression the alpha and the omega applied to Yahushua. He is the beginning of the creation of the Father Creator and he is as well the end in the fact that Yahushua is the new perfect and immortal man. In this context, the Word is rather our biologic father, being the biologic father of Adam. Our biologic fathers descend through the generations from Adam and from his procreator, the Word who is the angel YHVH. As regards to the brotherhood mentioned in Hebrew 2:11, it is necessary to introduce the spiritual fatherhood of the Father Creator. Indeed, it is because the resurrected elect become spiritual sons of the Father Creator that we will become brothers of Yahushua, the first perfect son of the Father. Luke 20:36 "nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of Creator Father, being sons of the resurrection. We must understand that we will become physically adopted sons but born spiritually with full rights only at our resurrection just like Yahushua already occupies this position as the firstborn with the birthright afforded in the law (see 8.5.1 Firstborn and 5.16 Born Again). After his resurrection, Yahushua is still called the mediator the man Yahushua. 1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God [Creator Father], and there is one mediator between God [Creator Father] and men, the man Christ Jesus [Yahushua messiah] For us, it is with the resurrection and immortality that this title of brother of 336
Yahushua will be eternally established. Being at present unborn children and heirs, we are no better that slaves, as long as we are not resurrected or changed. Galates 4: 1 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.

6.4.6 His Celestial Filiation We saw how Yahushua undeniably had and has a human descent (see 6.4.5 His Human Filiation). ETERNALY SON OF THE FATHER CREATOR At the same time as his human descent, Yahushua had and has a heavenly descent with his Father Creator such as he testified himself many a time. Numerous verses assert it directly and indirectly, as below. Matthew 14:33 33 Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of Creator Father." Matthew 27:43 43 "He trusted in Creator Father; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of Creator Father.’" Mark 1: 1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ [Yahushua], the Son of God [of Father Creator]. In his preexistence, Yahushua was the Word, the first son, called YHVH like his Father. The Scriptures confirm that Yahushua was also an only son of the Father Creator (6.4.1 Only Son). How can Yahushua, a man in flesh and blood be a son of the Father Creator who is an Immaterial Immortal Spirit Being? According to a certain logic, men asserted that all sons of the Father Creator should also be immaterial pure spirits and not of flesh. This doctrine is human only and evidently erroneous because the son Yahushua took time to show himself to his disciples after his resurrection in flesh and in bone and not as an immaterial pure spirit which has no flesh and no bone like the Father Creator. In that case, Yahushua demonstrated that he remained the son of the Father Creator eternally in his physical nature which put on immortality. It is the application of the concept by which Yahushua is called the alpha and the omega. He was created as the first son as the perfect but mortal son who succeeded to remain faithful to his Father Creator. Further to His perfect life and further to his atoning death, he is physically resurrected with immortality as being the final fulfillment and the creation of the new man who is fully son of the Father Creator. It is according to the image of this perfect son that all other sons will also be physically resurrected with immortality to be reconciled with the Father Creator. 1 John 3: 2 Beloved, now we are children of Creator Father; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. This reality of an immortal physical son of the Father Creator is ignored by most 338
and also by the so-called Christians contrary to the testimony of Yahushua and of the Holy Scriptures. This doctrine is not a salvation issue but its ignorance lead into false doctrines as we see among the so-called Christians. So, Yahushua is also Ulhim but his Ulhim, his El is the Father Creator. INITIALLY BIOLOGIC FATHER, FINALLY SPIRITUAL BROTHER OF HUMAN BEINGS We saw how Yahushua was the biologic father of all human beings from Adam's genetic procreation by the power of the Father Creator. Nevertheless, being their biologic father on the basis of his DNA code, Yahushua is to become the spiritual elder brother of all the resurrected human elect. The physical fatherhood of Yahushua on humanity will be dimmed for ever by the spiritual fatherhood of the Father Creator when the resurrection will transform the human beings. 1 Corinthians 15: 45 And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. The meaning of this verse is not to assert that the resurrection will grant the nature of an immaterial pure spirit. On the contrary, Yahushua clearly proved the physical resurrection in his own body (see 7.6 The Physical Resurrection and 6.4.8 The Resurrection of Yahushua). The meaning of this verse is to explain that the body will be controlled and given life by the Holy Spirit in the physical renewed being, having become eternally a son of the Father Creator. INITIALLY BIOLOGIC FATHER, FINALLY SPIRITUAL BROTHER OF THE ANGELS Having contributed his DNA code, the Word was the genetic father of the angels who were given to him as helpers, just like Eve was created as Adam's helper. As the first son YHVH, the angels were mortal. Those who sinned lost their body but those who remained faithful lived with continuous life (see 5.5 Continuous Life). Also, the faithful angels will also attain this status of immortal spiritual sons. The angels will be spiritually also adopted by the Father Creator to be integrated into His family. In that case, the angels will also become spiritual brothers of Yahushua which will remain their elder brother. The angels will also become spiritual brothers of the human beings who have resurrected with immortality. So, all will be of the same nature that the elder son Yahushua and all will be brothers under the Father Creator who holds the spiritual fatherhood (see 12.5 The Spiritual Fatherhood). The angel in the following verse reminds John that he is his companion and not at all a superior. Revelation 22: 9 Then he said to me, "See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship Creator Father. " 339
ALL CHILDREN OF THE FATHER CREATOR According to the Creator Father's perfect plan, the creation is undergoing a process of ultimate spiritual reconciliation. By the power of the Holy Spirit, all the predestined human beings will be brought by a spiritual procreation by the Creator Father YHVH in the new universal spiritual brotherhood, the ultimate family. The Father Creator will then be all in all, being eternally the Spiritual Father of all His children who will be perfectly eternally obedient.
6.4.7 His Atoning Sacrifice The 1st advent of Yahushua as a man on the earth was intended for his atoning sacrifice for the salvation/redemption of all the creation of the Father Creator (see 11.1.3 Atoning Sacrifice and 8.3.1 Redemption). John 12:27 "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Luke 12:50 "But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished! Yahushua knew why he was sent by the Father Creator. 1 John 4: 10 In this is love, not that we loved Creator Father, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Hebrew 2:10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. The fact that Yahushua was dead for 3 days and 3 nights should undeniably prove that he was completely mortal, including his previous life as the Word also called the angel YHVH. Evidently, Yahushua was the Word and Yahushua died, it follows that the Word had to die also. If the Word, the first son created by the Father Creator, was mortal, even more, the other angels are also mortal, although they have continuous life (see 5.4 Continuous Life and 6.3 The Mortality of the Angels). His sacrifice was perfectly carried out according to the biblical prescriptions of the sacrifice of the lamb of Passover (see 10.3 Passover). John 1:29 The next day John saw Yahushua coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of Creator Father who takes away the sin of the world! 340
1 Corinthians 5:7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ [Yahushua], our Passover, was sacrificed for us.
6.4.8 His Resurrection Yahushua's resurrection is very important for several reasons. Not only he received immortality but his resurrection reveals fundamental truths which eliminate false doctrines coming from incorrect translations, interpretations and understanding. Yahushua was resurrected from the dead according to the Bible by Father YHVH's power, after 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth, i.e. the sepulchre. Matthew 12:39 But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. This sign of Jonah was given by Yahushua to identify himself as the one who was sent by his Father Creator (see 11.02.6 Sign of Jonah). All the sequence of the events of the death and the resurrection is well exposed in the Bible (see 6.4.8.1 Diagram). Firstly, he had to die according to the sacrificial laws at the prescribed time and hour for the lamb to be slaughtered on the 14th day of the first month. Exodus 12:5 ‘Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. 6 ‘Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it between the evenings [daylight - afternoon]. 7 ‘And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. 8 ‘Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. There was no error in the calendar for Yahushua's death because he died according to the exact prescriptions. As a period, it includes Yahushua's Passover memorial and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. That is why the feast is treated as a single sequence according to the application of the New testament, beginning with Yahushua’s Passover ceremony which he commanded during the night of the 14th day with the feet washing among the disciples (see 10.3.4 Yahushua’s 341
Passover). The ceremony which he instituted during the night of the 14 th day of the first month was not a part of the official commands in the old sacrificial laws. The expression 'between 2 evenings' in verse 6 above was the time period when the Passover lamb had to be killed. Yahushua was this lamb intended for the atoning sacrifice for all the creation and he reveals to us that the acceptable time was in the afternoon at the 9th hour, i.e. 2 pm in Jerusalem near the March equinox (see 9.1.1 The 3rd and the 9th Hours). Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Yahushua cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God [El Father Creator], My God [El Father Creator], why have You forsaken Me?" The lamb of YHVH was killed exactly at the set prescribed time, i.e. at the right time of day and on the correct day in the correct calendar. Romans 5:6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ [messiah Yahushua] died for the ungodly. His last meal with his disciples took place at the very beginning of the 14 th day, i.e. at the beginning of the night. It is during this night, after this meal and the new Passover ceremony with his disciples, that he was betrayed and taken by the soldiers and brought before Pilate. Matthew 26:46 "Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand." 47 And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.... Matthew 26:57 And those who had laid hold of Yahushua led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. Matthew 27:1 When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Yahushua to put Him to death. In the sequence of the events described in the verses above, we see in verse 1 that the morning followed the night when he took his meal with his disciples. It is during this afternoon that Yahushua and the other lambs would be killed, exactly as prescribed according to the Law, ' between the 2 evenings '. The true meal of Passover (to eat of the sacrificed lamb) would take place after the time when lambs were killed, and then prepared and cooked for the meal. Moreover, the Jews at that time also kept the correct time for Passover because they got ready to eat of the lamb (Passover) in the following evening which would be in fact the 15th day. John 18: 28 Then they led Yahushua from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not 342
go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. We are assured by these verses that the meal to eat the Passover lamb's flesh was after the sacrifice of the lambs and after the sacrifice of Yahushua as the Lamb of YHVH in the afternoon. Yahushua’s meal with his disciples was thus a different meal from the old covenant Passover. He effectively established this memorial with his disciples as a new ceremony of Passover because there would not be anymore sacrifices of lambs afterwards. We are taught how to celebrate this memorial. 1Corinthians 11:23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." 25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. This verse still confirms that he was betrayed during the night preceding his death on the following afternoon. This ceremony includes some unleavened bread and a cup of the fruit of the vine. As he had said, Yahushua was dead for 3 days and 3 nights in the sepulcher like Jonah. This also reveals that Jonah had died in the fish and that he was also resurrected (see 11.03.6 Jonah's Sign). Some people say incorrectly that Yahushua had not died but that he went to preach somewhere else during these 3 days. If he had not died, then where was our sacrifice? In fact, he died and 3 days later he rose from the dead (see 5.14 The 1 st Death). The fact that he gave his spirit back to his Father Creator when he died, also confirms / reveals the vital structure of the human beings (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). Luke 23:46 And when Yahushua had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’" Having said this, He breathed His last. According to the sequence described in the Bible, Yahushua died in the 9 th hour and he was put in the sepulcher just before sunset, i.e. before the next day begins because it was a Holy Day in the Feast of Unleavened Bread. John 19:30 So when Yahushua had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. 31 Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be 343
broken, and that they might be taken away. When we count 3 days and 3 nights after the moment of his burial in the sepulcher, we end up at the end of the weekly Sabbath. It is remarkable and significant also that he was resurrected at the end of the day of rest. His resurrection was physical as it clearly took place in his body made of flesh and bones because he had poured his blood (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection). Yahushua then explained to his disciples the truth concerning the physical body of the resurrection. Luke 24:39 "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." At the same time, Yahushua was revealing the truth about the body of angels, as he was again himself a messenger (angel), a function which he had before. But from then on, he had immortality in his body (see 6.4.4 The Preexistence and 6.3 The Angels). Yahushua thus eliminates the false doctrines of the immortal souls, of the immortal angels and of the immaterial angels without physical bodies. After his resurrection, Yahushua accomplished at the 3rd hour the ritual of the Wave Omer offering according to which he presented himself before his Father Creator in heaven to be accepted as the first fruit of the new creation (see 10.5 The Wave Omer). It is important to note that Yahushua was seen by a woman and that he forbade her to touch him because he had not risen yet to His Father as the wave Omer. John 20:17 Yahushua said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God [El] and your God [El].’". When we see later Yahushua allowing himself to be touched by his disciples, we can deduct that he had become incorruptible whereas before he was not incorruptible yet when he met the woman. Yahushua had not received incorruptibility yet before having risen to his Father, otherwise he would have allowed the woman to touch him. At the same time, we can also deduct that Yahushua had not yet received immortality before receiving it from his Father in heaven. When Yahushua was accepted by his Father in heaven, he received immortality and incorruptibility for ever. We observe annually the Wave Omer Offering as a memorial on the first day of the week (Sunday) which occurs during the 7 days of unleavened bread. Moreover, it is from this day that the Omer count is begun to the Feast of Weeks (Pentacost) (see 10.6 Feast of Weeks). In Yahushua's resurrection, we thus must admit a certain time lapse between the 344
precise moment of his physical resurrection and the moment when immortality and incorruptibility are granted to him for ever. In his case, there are several hours between his physical resurrection at the end of the Sabbath day and the 3rd hour on the next day when the ritual was accomplished in heaven with his Father Creator. That is why the woman was not allowed to touch him during this time. We can see also a certain time lapse in the 2 nd resurrection where the individuals are resurrected at first physically with continuous life. After a time lapse which corresponds to the judgement of the great white throne, a great number will receive immortality and incorruptibility while others may be cast in the lake of fire. Also in the 1st resurrection, we also see a time lapse for the dead who resurrect at first physically with continuous life and then rise on clouds with those still alive. Then, after a moment, all will receive all together immortality and incorruptibility forever. Again, such a time lapse is noted in the case of the 2 witnesses who are physically resurrected with continuous life and rise on the clouds. They do not receive at that moment immortality and incorruptibility because they must wait for the others for the moment which corresponds to the twinkling of an eye described by Paul because all will be changed at the same time, no one before another.

6.4.8.1 Diagram - His Resurrection
6.4.8.2 Calendar 30 CE According to a recent revelation from Father Creator, YHVH's calendar for the elect is described in the Book of Enoch. His calendar is not based on the lunar conjunction such as was supposed from the erroneous teachings of modern Judaism. The present site is modified to reveal Enoch's 364 day calendar (9.0 YHVH's Calendar). The following proleptic Gregorian monthly calendar shows the dates for the 1st month of the biblical calendar corresponding to the year 30 CE ( current era) when the messiah Yahushua died and was resurrected (see 6.4.8.1 His Resurrection). The sequence of events are shown, including the institution of the memorial of his Passover on the night of the 14 th day of the 1st month (see 10.3.4 Yahushua's Passover). In YHVH's calendar, it is the year when the 14 th day of the 1st month fell on a Wednesday and when the period of 3 days and 3 nights ended at the end of the weekly Sabbath. Yahushua died during Wednesday afternoon (30 CE) and was resurrected 72 hours later at the end of the Sabbath day. This scenario is plausible because the year 30 EC satisfies to the diverse conditions surrounding the death and the resurrection of Yahushua (see 9.13.0 Year of Crucifixion).
346
6.4.9 His Body The physical human body of Yahushua was similar to the normal human body but without sin (see 5.10 The Flesh). Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, Father Creator, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against Father Creator: for it is not subject to the law of Creator Father, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please Father Creator. So, Yahushua had in him no hostility which lives with mortal men and which establishes the law of sin. As new Adam, Yahushua had a pure flesh not contaminated by sin. 1 Corinthians 15:45 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. Ephesians 2:15 having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the twain one new man, so making peace; Set apart the physical reality of the body of Yahushua, before and after the resurrection, there is an extension of his body in a metaphysical way. There is a concept which is mentioned in the Bible that requires a spiritual application of a physical reality. Although Yahushua is physically in heaven in his flesh and bone at the right-hand of his Creator Father, his physical body is extended in an abstract manner in the bodies of the elect, i.e. those who have the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ [Yahushua] is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Colossians 1:18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. Colossians 1:24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ [Yahushua], for the sake of His body, which is the church, 347
It is an abstract concept for us but which seems to combine a spiritual reality with a physical reality since he is our biological father as Yahushua is Adam's biological father (see 5.6.3 Adamic Procreation). Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. These verses above clearly confirm the concept that Yahushua who lives at present in heaven, has a physical body, not only to house his spirit where he lives (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body), but where this body has an extension in the flesh and the bones of the elect which form his true church. Another confirmation is that we are his flesh and bones, i.e. that Yahushua, formerly the angel of YHVH, formerly the Word, is our biological father (DNA donnor), i.e. our procreator in the flesh. This is a difficult concept which remains to demonstrate and to understand (see 5.6 The Procreation). As Satan wanted to destroy his body on the stake, he also wants to destroy his extended body, i.e. the church which is formed by all the elect. As the body of Yahushua was resurrected immortal after 3 days and 3 nights, the church will also be resurrected with immortality. As man and woman were united to become a single flesh, Yahushua and his church will be united to be a single body of which Yahushua is the chief (the head) All the elect form a physical body on the earth for Yahushua through whom he can act. As a spiritual leader, he commands to an elect to do this, to another one to do that. He does not need to come personally on earth to give his orders or to do it himself. This concept will one day be extended to the Creator Father who will all in all (see 7.16 His Ultimate Goal).
348
6.4.10 His Superiority We read in the Bible why and how Yahushua was raised above the other angels. Psalms 45:7 you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God [Ulhim], your God [Ulhim Father Creator], has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions; Hebrew 1:8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God [Ulhim], is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God [Ulhim], your God [Ulhim Father Creator], has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.” Hebrew 2:7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, 8 putting everything in subjection under his feet.” Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. 9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus [Yahushua], crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of Father Creator, he might taste death for everyone. The verses below are without ambiguity to assert that Yahushua was not only raised above the other angels but much more still. He was raised above all authorities but lower than the Father Creator. Can we limit in the time this superiority? Ephesians 1:20 that he worked in Christ [messiah Yahushua] when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, Philippians 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore Father Creator has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, We can easily associate in addition the following verses which assert that 349
Yahushua would return to his previous glory with the Father Creator. John 8:14 Jesus [Yahushua] answered, “Even if I do bear witness about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. John 17:24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. From all these verses, we can clearly deduct 3 periods of time: 1) In his preexistence, as the Word called afterward the angel of YHVH, "Yahushua" was already superior (notably) to the other angels because everything was created through the Word; 2) During his human period, Yahushua was lowered below the angels; 3) After his resurrection, Yahushua was again raised above (notably) the angels by Father Creator who raised him from the dead and made him sit at His right hand in heaven. P.S. Yahushua means YHVH saves (see 2.2.1 The Biblical Names).
350
6.4.11 His Preeminence There is a concept which is fundamental concerning Yahushua. The Bible establishes clearly this concept. Yahushua, in his preexistence as the Word and in his earthly life, was the first one in everything. Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Father Creator, and the Word was God [Ulhim]. 2 He was in the beginning with Father Creator. There are several facts which follow from this principle. Yahushua called the Word was the 1st creation of the Father Creator (see 6.1 The Word). As the Word, he had to be the first one in all. We say that Adam was the first earthly man but Adam was not the first son of the Father Creator. Nor was Adam the first physical man because he could not have precedence on his procreator the angel of YHVH (see 5.6 Procreation). The precedence mentioned in the verse 18 above is complete. This precedence requires that Yahushua who was the Word which was the angel YHVH, was the first physical man although a celestial man. 1 Corinthians 15:47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is the Lord [2962 kurios] from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. It is evident in the verse above that the man from heaven, the angel YHVH, is not really second because Yahushua has clearly established his preexistence (see 6.4.4 His Preexistence). There is a difficult interpretation of this verse where the term 'heaven' implies his origin and thus his precedence. The term 'second' indicates the second physical procreation of Yahushua on earth and therefore, a 2nd earthly Adam, and not strictly another man because that there were millions of earthly men between Adam and the birth of Yahushua. 1Corinthians 15:45 Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. The 1st Adam failed in the process of the spiritual procreation. That is why another Adam was necessary to succeed in the plan of spiritual procreation of the Father Creator. The Bible excludes the pure spirit nature of the created beings because the physical nature precedes the spiritual. 1Corinthians 15:46 But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. 351
6.5 Satan In the beginning, Lucifer was an angel of a great beauty and a great wisdom. He was a light bearer (01966 heylel) whom the English translators translated by ' Lucifer '. So, the term Lucifer (heylel) would be a name because it is found only once in the Old Testament in Isaiah 14:12 under the number 01966 (HSD). His name was changed to Satan after his rebellion which means 'enemy'. Satan was created as perfect and he was a cherub (v. 14). He is presented as the prince of Tyre here below. Ezekiel 28:12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says YHVH: "You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of El; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of El; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. Satan rebelled against his Creator. He caused the fall of a third of the angels with him in his rebellion. Ezekiel 28: 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. 16 "By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of El; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones. 17 "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, That they might gaze at you. Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth... Satan and the rebel angels were all cast down to earth (see 6.5.1 Cast to Earth). Having before physical bodies, they suffered the 1st death, the wages of sin (see 5.14 the 1st Death and 6.01 The Physical Nature of Celestial Creatures). Without 352
bodies and not able to return to heaven, they became wandering devils also called unclean spirits (see 6.6 The unclean Spirits). Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. Ezekiel 28: 18 "You defiled your sanctuaries By the multitude of your iniquities, By the iniquity of your trading; Therefore I brought fire from your midst; It devoured you, And I turned you to ashes upon the earth In the sight of all who saw you. 19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you; You have become a horror, And shall be no more forever."’" For this rebellion, he was cast down from heaven and was killed physically and reduced to ash. He has no power anymore by himself being only an unclean spirit without his own physical body which was destroyed and eaten by magots (see 6.5.1 Cast to Earth and 6.5.2 His Death). Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to Sheol, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and worms cover thee. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, that didst lay low the nations! 13 And thou saidst in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of El; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to Sheol, to the uttermost parts of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall gaze at thee, they shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man [0376 iysh] that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; We must note in verse 12 above the terms 'Lucifer' and son of the morning'. These terms appoint specifically this being as having a particular function concerning the light. In the beginning, light was created on the first day and began to illuminate the creation before the creation of the sun on the 4th day. Apparently, this being was appointed to illuminate the earth to mark the day with a part of darkness and a part of light (see 9.1.3 The Light). Symbolically, could his role as bearer of light to create the alternation of darkness and light during the day, be tied to his role in Adam's sin concerning the knowledge of good (light) and evil (darkness) ? As the Bible confirms it, the angels can illiminate from their glory. Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was 353
lightened with his glory. The false doctrines persist in the world in spite of the Bibles which explains clearly that Satan is not a powerful being, nor an legitimate Ulhim but that he is only a man although from a celestial origin. This following verse confirms with the other biblical verses, that Satan was, like the other angels, a physical being having a spirit in him, without intrinsic supeiror power (see 6.3.1 The Humanity of the Angels). Ezekiel 28:2 "Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says YHVH: "Because your heart is lifted up, And you say, ‘I am a El, I sit in the seat of gods [Ulhim], In the midst of the seas,’ Yet you are a man, and not a god [el], Though you set your heart as the heart of a El Men have incorrectly understood and wrongly interpreted the Bible by falsely giving angels an identical nature as the True Creator Father YHVH who is an autonomous Pure Immaterial Spirit. The angels are creatures and like men, they have a spirit to live in their physical bodies. Satan held the chief position over the nations of the earth. This is confirmed by Yahushua himself. John 12:31 "Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. John 14:30 "I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. John 16:11 "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. Ephesians 2: 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, Paul and John also recognized Satan as the god (chief, Ulhim) of this age, era. Furthermore, this verse confirms that Satan acts through his spirit when he possesses men. Logically, Satan must actually possess a very high-ranking man in the structure of the world order to influence all the nations. 2Corinthians 4: 4 whose minds the Father Creatorf this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ [Yahushua], who is the image of Creator Father, should shine on them. 1John 5:19 We know that we are of God [Father Creator], and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. Satan occupied a place on this earth in Pergamos at the time of the message to 354
the churches. Revelation 2:12 "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, ‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 "I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is..... It should be clear from these Bible verses that Satan became an unclean spirit in search of men whom he can possess. The following verse proves this concept. Luke 22:3 Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. This verse above confirms that satan is only an unclean spirit who can enter in a living being to influence and control it. Indeed, Satan dwells in men and influences them through his spirit to act as he pleases. He grants them the wisdom of this world to be rich and powerful in this world. He is the prince of this age because he establishes his orders among his obedient disciples thanks to his great temporal and worldly wisdom. We can then understand that Satan lives in the body of a man today on this earth and that he is present in the high spheres of influence of this world. According to Revelation 2:12, Satan's throne was in Pergamos. Today, his throne could be in another modern great city such as Vatican. Besides, he is capable of moving from a human being to another as needed like Yahushua explained it concerning the unclean spirits. Matthew 12:43 "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 "Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 "Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation." 46 While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Today, Satan is called different names or titles. Revelation 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. However, there is mention of another fatherhood John 8:44 where Yahushua spoke to the Pharisees who wanted to kill him. John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar 355
and the father of it. In that case, we could wonder about this fatherhood which Satan was able to beget in these men because they became unified in the spirit of Satan and thus in his evil desires. In the end, Satan is one of the only 3 individuals who will be cast in the lake of fire and suffer the 2nd death (see 5.15 The 2nd Death).
6.5.1 Satan Cast to Earth Satan had formerly access to the angel YHVH. Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of El came to present themselves before YHVH, and Satan came also among them to present himself before YHVH. No sinner cannot be presence of the Father Creator YHVH, neither Satan who is the father of lies. Psalm 101:7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes. Thus, Satan was in presence of the son YHVH called the Word also and not in the presence of the Father YHVH. Father YHVH knows everything and thus He would not ask this question but the son YHVH did not know everything. Sinners may be in the presence of the son YHVH and vice versa as we saw with Yahushua who came to be with sinners. Moreover, contrary to the popular beliefs and even of the scholars', this being YHVH is not the Father Creator but rather His son the Word who speaks and acts for his Father. Some people say that Satan has already been cast to earth whereas others place this event as being future. We do have indications in the Bible to determine the time when satan was cast to earth. Luke 10:18 And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. This statement concerns an event in the past but some people believe that Yahushua was prophesying a future event. What indications do we have in the Bible ? John 12:31 "Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. Why say now twice? When did Yahushua pronounce this statement ? At first 356
sight, it would be towards the end of his ministry because Yahushua announces the imminence of his sacrifice. John 12:27 "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. We find the description of this event in the book of Revelation. We must note that Satan is cast with his angels and not separately. Revelation 12:7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Can we place this event in time? Revelation 12:13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. Logically, the dragon Satan was already cast down after the birth of Yahushua because the woman concerns Israel where from the man Yahushua came out. Revelation 12:4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. We see here that Satan had convinced one third of the angels who were cast down even before the woman gives birth to Yahushua. We can also deduct that Satan was cast down with his fallen angels and that he did not have a different situation from the other demons. As an irrefutable proof of the demons on earth, we see that in the time of the apostles, unclean spirits were captive under the earth because of their wickedness and because of their fornication with the human women. 2 Peter 2:4 For if Creator Father did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; Jude 1:6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; Evidently, the angels who sinned were already cast down. Some were captive 357
while others were wandering on the earth. Yahushua healed several individuals who were possessed by unclean spirits. Is it not evident that the fallen angels had already been cast on earth? Yahushua also gave to his apostles the power over the demons who were obviously on earth already and who possessed human beings and inflicted them with diseases. Besides, we also learn that Satan had established his throne in Pergamos. Revelation 2:12 "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, ‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 "I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. To possess a throne on earth, we can assume that Satan must be permanently established. The example of Father YHVH's throne confirms the principle that there it is the permanent place of residence. One day, Father YHVH will establish His throne on earth. We saw the texts of Ezekiel which describe Satan's physical death. In conclusion, after examining the Bible, it seems more difficult to demonstrate that this event is future. We could conclude that Satan had already been cast to earth for some time. However, the impact of this event, although tragic for the saints, does not constitute a salvation issue of our faith. Whether Satan is permanently on earth or not, we know that we will be persecuted until the return of Yahushua and that only Father's protection will keep us till the end. John 17:15 "I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. In conclusion, in John 12:31, we can thus understand that Yahushua was prophesying that Satan would also be cast out from the earth into the pit for 1000 years, just as he was cast out from heaven. John 12:31 "Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
6.5.2 His Humanity It was demonstrated that the Word was a mortal physical being (see 6.1 The Word). The angels were procreated through the Word and are thus also of the same celestial human physical nature (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). The angel Lucifer, called Satan after his rebellion, also was procreated in the same way. But besides these logical facts, the Bible asserts clearly that Satan is strictly a man although of celestial origin and that he is not a legitimate god nor a being of 358
superior nature. Ezekiel 28:2 Son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus said the Lord GOD [03069 YHVH]; Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a El, I sit in the seat of El, in the middle of the seas; yet you are a man, and not God [el], though you set your heart as the heart of El: Ezekiel 28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit; and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain, in the heart of the seas. 9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God [Ulhim 0430] ? but thou art man, and not God [el], in the hand of him that woundeth thee. 10 Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith YHVH. The description of his death is that of a man in flesh and bone and not of a being without body physical like the Father Creator who is the Only Being to Be Pure Spirit (see 6.5.3 His Death).
359
6.5.3 His Death Contrary to popular beliefs, Satan was mortal like all the angels (see 6.3.2 The Mortality of the Angels). Considering the perfect justice of the Father Creator, all sinners had to suffer the 1st death. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of Creator Father, is eternal life in Jesus Christ [messiah Yahushua] our Lord [2962 kurios YHVH ]. Satan, like the fallen angels, has suffered the 1 st death and he became an unclean spirit who roams on the earth (see 6.6 The Unclean Spirits and 5.13 Reincarnation). According to the explanations of Yahushua on the unclean spirits who possess and dwell in people, the Bible confirms that Satan entered Judas to carry out his treason. Luke 22:3 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. The Bible reports his physical death, that is, the destruction of his physical body according to the 1st death. Ezekiel 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee. 16 By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Creator Father; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground; I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee; it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the peoples shall be astonished at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt nevermore have any being. Because of his rebellion, he was physically killed and his body reduced to ashes (v.18 above) and he went down to the sheol (see 5.14.1 Sheol). It has not power anymore by himself being only an unclean spirit without his own physical body which was destroyed and consumed by worms (v.11 below) (see 6.5.1 Cast to 360
Earth). Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God [el]: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man [0376 iysh] that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. 20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. To have gone down into sheol, Satan was physical, that is, he had a physical body which suffered corruption from the worms ( v.11 ). Satan is today only an unclean spirit, a demon who needs to possess human beings to act in this physical world. The Bible says clearly that he was a celestial physical man and not an immaterial being or an Ulhim. Ezekiel 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD [03069 Yehovih]; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God [el 0410], I sit in the seat of God [Ulhim 0430], in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man [0120 adam human] , and not God [el 0410], though thou set thine heart as the heart of God [Ulhim 0430]: This verse says clearly who was Satan as an angel (see 6.3 The Angels), that is, a physical being having a spirit in him like all the angels and men (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. Can we be more clear on Satan's physical state from whose physical body came 361
into decomposition with worms? This physical body would then have been burned so that it was returned to ashes. Besides, we read in Revelation that Satan is cast in the lake of fire which is the 2nd death. According to the literal meaning of death, Satan would be eternally destroyed (see 5.15 The 2nd Death).

6.5.4 Satan's Seed However surprising it may be, Satan has a seed and thus an offspring. The biblical verses confirm this concept. Genesis 3:14 YHVH El said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring [02233 seed] and her offspring [02233 seed]; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
Yahushua confirmed himself that Satan had children and spoke to them in the person of the pharisees.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Matthew 13:38 The field is the world, and the good seed is the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
1 John 3:10 In this the children of God [Creator Father] are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever does not righteousness is not of God [Creator Father], neither he that loves not his brother.
Yahushua even revealed that Judas Iscariot was a devil.
John 6:70 Yahushua answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. 363
Even more surprising, Yahushua spoke to Peter by treating him as satan, whereby knowing that satan means enemy. The following verse can be also explained by Satan's presence to inspire Peter with these thoughts to oppose Yahushua. Satan was in the vicinity of Yahushua and the apostles as the Bible says.
Matthew 16:23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of Creator Father, but on the things of man.”
The verses above clearly establish a fatherhood for Satan. What fatherhood would Satan have in humanity? This concept is difficult because we know that the spirit in the man comes from the Father Creator and it returns to the Father when the man dies (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body).
Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to El who gave it.
This concept of the spirit which returns to the Father Creator applies apparently to all the men without exception, without respect in their salvation. Not only the spirits of the saints return to the Father but all men. That is not the case of the unclean spirits which cannot return to the Father because they were cast out of heaven (see 6.5.1 Satan Cast to Earth). In spite of the sins which men were able to commit, they all undergo death and their spirit remains intact because it returns to the Father Creator. Then, Satan's fatherhood is not spiritual in spite of the first impression that we could expect from a so-called spiritual being. The hostility mentioned in the verse 15 of Genesis above concerns another element of man. If it is not the spirit which was contaminated, it is obviously the physical body. Romans 8:3 For Creator Father has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 To set the mind on the 364
flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to Creator Father, for it does not submit to Creator Father ’s law; indeed, it cannot.
The flesh was created perfect at the beginning but the verses above assert that the flesh was contaminated by sin. What is opposite and set against Father Creator's will is the thought of the flesh (v. 6). The thought of the spirit is against the thought of the flesh and this hostility was established by sin which contaminated Adam and Eve and at the same time, the entire humanity. Death entered humanity through Satan who is the messenger of death. Although humanity was contaminated by Satan, there are men whom the spirit was inclined to overcome the hostility of the flesh and to live according to the spirit. Having come in a body similar to sin, Yahushua was capable of overcoming the flesh to live perfectly according to the spirit to do the will of his Father Creator YHVH. Yahushua was the 2nd Adam who had to confront Satan and overcome him because the 1st Adam had failed in his task. As the 2 nd Adam, Yahushua had a flesh similar to that of sin but without sin nor the thought of the flesh which was hostility against his Father Creator.
Those who are elect will receive the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome the flesh of sin and overcome the thought of the flesh and Satan's will.

6.6 The Unclean Spirits The unclean spirits called also devils, fallen angels and demons, are simply angels who were formerly loyal but who have rebelled with Satan and who were cast down with Satan on the Earth as unclean spirits by undergoing the 1st death (see 5.14 The 1st Death). Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. They received death as the wages of sin. Having lost their physical body, they are in quest to possess living bodies, human or animal. This phenomenon is interpreted as a reincarnation in the world (see 5.13 Reincarnation). It is possible to determine that Satan and the devils were already cast to the earth before the birth of Yahushua (see 6.5.1 Cast to Earth). In Revelation 12:3, we read the sequence of events. Revelation 12:3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. 4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. According to the sequence, the sign appears at first in heaven, that is, the dragon whose tail casts the third of the stars (angels) to the earth. Then, the dragon was standing before the woman who was going to give birth. In this sequence, we see that the angels are cast to the earth before Myriam (Marie) gives birth to Yahushua (circa 5 BCE). Without being able to establish the precise time, we see here that the devils are cast to earth before the birth of Yahushua and possibly before his procreation in the womb of Miryam. It is also confirmed as well during the life of Yahushua, he cast out from men unclean spirits who were angels cast to earth. It proves that the demons were cast to earth before the year 5 BCE. Yahushua also remembers himself as an angel seeing Satan falling to the earth as a flash of lightning. Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. This above verse confirms that the spirit of Yahushua was placed in Myriam's 366
womb after Satan's fall on earth. No rebelious sinner may be in the presence of the Father Creator in heaven where is His throne. The example of prayer given by Yahushua in the following verse confirms that the will of the Father Creator is done in heaven by all those who are there. Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. Thus, Satan cannot access it any more nor the unclean spirits. According to a certain understanding of the relevant verses, there would be 2 groups of demons. Indeed, a part of the demons would be free to roam on earth whereas another part would be imprisoned under the earth in chains of darkness (Jude 1:6). We could suppose that these latter ones would be too evil or powerful to be among men because they could quickly destroy all humanity. It is possibly those who procreated giants or nephilim with the human women (see 6.11 The Giants). Jude 1:6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; In the beginning, these rebel angels had physical bodies and they took human women to beget wicked humanoid creatures called nephilim or giants. This physical fornication confirms that these angels had a physical body with a DNA code similar to men but whose children were greater in size and in wickedness. However, Father Creator is not a respecter of persons and these rebel angels physically died and their spirit was not able to return to Father YHVH because they were cast to the earth as unclean. Father YHVH's justice is the same for all His creatures who sin. The 1st death (see 5.14 The 1st Death) is the penalty for sin. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of Creator Father is eternal life in Christ Jesus [messiah Yahushua] our Lord. Deprived of their own body, the demons are called unclean spirits and they are spirits roaming the earth. It is Yahushua himself who explains the situation of the demons or unclean spirits. Matthew 12:43 "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 "Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 "Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation." These Scriptures are clear, to the effect that the unclean spirits possess and live 367
in men, that is in the physical bodies of live human beings. So, they want / must occupy live human bodies to continue to survive and to enjoy a certain comfort. Hence, we can understand what are demonic possession, influence and diseases. The diseases are the manifestations of unclean spirits in the human body. We can see several occasions where Yahushua heals persons by casting unclean spirits which lived in or possessed them (see 5.9 The Diseases). Matthew 10:1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. Luke 6:18 as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. Acts 5:16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed. Acts 8:7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. Yahushua confirmed himself that a spirit has no body of flesh and bone, when he appeared to his disciples in flesh and bones. At the same time, Yahushua confirmed that he was not a pure spirit but that he was raised in a body as an immortal angel man. Luke 24:39 "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." This direct confirmation of Yahushua should be clear enough to establish the physical resurrection followed by immortality. However, for various reasons, some refuse or are unable to understand or to believe what Yahushua explained and showed to his disciples. He showed them that he resurrected in a physical body made immortal. Yahushua explained the difference between a physical human being and an immaterial spirit. Paul also confirmed that he had in his flesh a messenger of Satan who harassed him as a physical disease. 2Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ [messiah Yahushua] may rest 368
upon me. He did not have in himself a whole angel but only the unclean spirit of a dead angel who had become unclean. We must necessarily distinguish between a physical disease and a mental illness (see 5.9 The Diseases). The latter one would be more serious because the unclean spirit could affect or take control of the behavior of the individual or / and cause him severe destabilizing problems. The mental illness could go as far as demonic possession in extreme cases. Yahushua confirmed the possession by unclean spirits of varous kinds. Mark 9:17 And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit; 18 and wheresoever it taketh him, it dasheth him down: and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able. 19 And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me. 20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21 And he asked his father, How long time is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child. 22 And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us. 23 And Yahushua said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth. 24 Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25 And when Yahushua saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26 And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and the boy became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead. We may hear news reports of hideous crimes which exceed the human normal behaviour but which are the fruit of wicked demons who have sadly taken an individuals' control. Besides, it is also necessary to differentiate the destiny of unclean spirits after their physical death, that is the 1st death (see The 1st Death). While human beings enter a sleep in their death, it seems that the unclean spirits remain partially conscious, at least enough to move between human beings (see 5.13 Reincarnation) and even animals like swine. The following incident clearly demonstrates that the unclean spirits could move between the man and the swine and possess them, i.e. control them enough so that they would jump themselves over a cliff. No normal animal would rush over a cliff because the 369
instinct of survival is strong in animals. Mark 5:3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 When he saw Yahushua from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, "What have I to do with You, Yahushua, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by Father Creatorhat You do not torment me." 8 For He said to him, "Come out of the man, unclean spirit!" 9 Then He asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion; for we are many." 10 Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country. 11 Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains. 12 So all the demons begged Him, saying, "Send us to the swine, that we may enter them." 13 And at once Yahushua gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea. In view of such a possession of swine by unclean spirits, we could also wonder about the effects of the consumption of the swine flesh by human beings. We may also question the transplantations of organs of pigs into human beings which are done at present. What are the true effects on the spirit of man? We could certainly speculate on a spiritual connection ensuing from this genetic man-swine mixture. Thus, it is not surprising that the consumption of swine flesh was specifically forbidden to human beings by our Father Creator YHVH. Leviticus 11: 7 and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. If it is forbidden to eat swine, it is certainly forbidden to insert its organs or other parts into our body. So, the following verses still confirm the concept that the demons are spirits which roam without bodies as unclean spirits which influence men by taking control of the human mind and sometimes the body of the man. Three unclean spirits come out of 3 beings having physical bodies (Satan, the Beast and the false prophet). Indeed, these 3 beings have a mouth from which come out spirits because a spirit does not come out of a spirit. Revelation 16:13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the 370
false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: 14 for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of Creator Father, the Almighty. We know that a human being can accommodate hundreds even thousands of unclean spirits. We can thus understand that these 3 entities in verse 13 above can accommodate in their physical bodies numerous spirits of demons. Each of the entities commands a subordinate unclean spirit to go to collect the army to attack Jerusalem. So, these unclean spirits will be resurrected and judged in the Judgment of the Great Day (see 6.6.1 Their Judgment and 7.3.7 The Judgment of the Great Day). Besides, if the fallen angels died, did we find their physical bodies on this earth ? Based on the false current propaganda of the demons who try to propagate the theory of evolution, important archaeological discoveries are hidden and\or disguised. For example, the discoveries of prehistoric physical bodies could ery probably be the bodies of dead angels. Among others, stretched out skulls of humanoids were discovered in several continents. The scientists cannot explain the origin of these prehistoric physical beings. In fact, we hear little about these discoveries because they would raise fundamental questions which would contradict the false current theories. Such stretched out skulls are exposed in great numbers in several museums of the world. On the other hand, there are many researches which are being made in the field of the genetics, in particular for cloning. We can see numerous science fiction films which evoke the capacity of human beings to continue life in another cloned body. We could easily imagine that such a concept corresponds probably to the aspiration of the demons to produce for themselves physical bodies where they could live free of limited and weak human beings. The Bible mentions an army of million living beings of a strange nature who will make a devastation on the earth. Joel 2:4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. 5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Besides, during the millennium, the unclean spirits will be removed from the country of Israel to allow the people to live in peace and in good mental and physical health. Zechariah 13:2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith YHVH of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the 371
prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
6.6.1 Their Judgment The Bible says clearly that the fallen angels (unclean spirits) will be judged in the futur judgment of the great day (see 11.7 Judgment of The Great Day). Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 2 Peter 2:4 For if God [Father Creator] spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; This judgment will occur after the 2nd resurrection. This resurrection will allow to judge all living beings (men and fallen angels) in the Judgment of the Great White Throne (see 11.7.1 The 2nd Resurrection). The following verses confirm that the resurrected saints will be judges. Luke 22:28 But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles; 29 And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me, 30 So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushua, and for the word of Creator Father, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ [Yahushua] a thousand years. The apostle Paul also confirms that the elect will be established as judges over these fallen angels. 1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? On the one hand, the Bible says that the lake of fire was prepared for the devil and the demons. Nevertheless, we see that other individuals who are placed at the left of Yahushua may be cast there also (see 7.3.7.3 The lake of fire). 372
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: Thus, this lake of fire is not exclusively reserved for the fallen angels but for all those whose name will not found in the book of life. Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Why were not the unclean spirits cast in the lake of fire already if their fate is irreparably sealed ? Indeed, why would these demons be resurrected and receive a physical body in the judgment of the great white throne if they will inevitably be cast in the lake of fire? What we can deduct logically is that the 2nd resurrection and the Last Judgment could be a real opportunity of repentance as much for the fallen angels as for men. What use would have the 2nd resurrection if it leads inevitably to the lake of fire? Why would the dead be resurrected to be killed immediately in the lake of fire ? We could assume that their presence with men has served as some adverse conditions to allow the training of the saints through necessary tribulations. However, knowing that the Father Creator has prepared a plan to save and not to destroy, it would be logical and expected that this judgment will be His means of final and complete reconciliation. Indeed, it is the will of the Father Creator to save all men and angels. We must realize that the nature of angels and men will be identical in the resurrection. 1 Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of Creator Father our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. It is thus foreseen that this last judgment is really the fulfillment of the final will of the Father Creator: the reconciliation (7.1 The Reconciliation). Besides, if the lake of fire is literally the 2 nd death, all the individuals (men and fallen angels) who would be cast in it could be thus completely and eternally destroyed. Apparently, it is the fate which will undergo Satan, the Beast and the false prophet. Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 373

6.7 Human Beings Adam was created from the dust of the ground on the 6th day in the image of the Ulhim through an asexual genetic process of procreation involving the angel of YHVH. (see 5.6.2 Adamic Creation). Man and woman were created by Father Creator. The angel of YHVH is this Ulhim whose DNA code was used to create Adam. This Ulhim is thus the progenitor and he is thus the biologic father of Adam. Would it not be normal and logic that the angel of YHVH should be a man also although celestial instead of earthly ? Only Father Creator YHVH is Pure Immaterial Spirit (see 5.1 Immaterial Spirit and 12.4 His Nature). Exodus 15:3 YHVH [03068] is a man [0376 iysh man] of war; YHVH [03068] is His name. The son angel YHVH is a physical man who participated in the creation/procreation of Adam and Eve. The creation and procreation of Adam are thus reported in Genesis. Genesis 1:26 And God (0430 Ulhim) said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 And God (0430 Ulhim) created man in his own image, in the image of God (0430 Ulhim) created he him; male and female created he them.... 31 and God (0430 Ulhim) saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Genesis 2:7 And YHVH God (0430 Ulhim) formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (5315) Genesis 2:22 and the rib, which YHVH God (0430 Ulhim) had taken from the man, {1} made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. It is written that man was a living soul (5315 HSD) i.e. a complete being with his body and with his spirit which is the immaterial part of the being (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit and 5.3 The Soul). Man had no immortal soul as pretends the false Trinitarian doctrine. Like the angels, Adam and Eve had received continuous life and not immortality (see 5.5 Continuous Life). Genesis 2:17 but you will not eat of the tree of the knowledge of the good and the evil, because when you will eat it, you will die. They would not die if they did not sin. Thus, logically, they would die only if they 375
ate of the forbidden tree. It is clearly stated that the wages, i.e. the consequence and the result of sin, is death. Romans 6:23 Because the salary of the sin, it is the death; but the free gift(donation) of Creator Father, it is the eternal life in Jesus Christ [ Yahushua] our Lord. Created with a completely physical body from the dust, man has a spirit in him which allows him to think and to act according to freedom of choice (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). This spirit returns to Father YHVH at the man's death. Ecclesiastes 12:7 before the dust returns to the ground, as it was there, and as the spirit returns to Creator Father who gave it. As Scriptures confirms it many times, the physical body is only a vehicle, a tent, a house, a temple of residence for the spirit through which the spirit is conscious of the physical creation around it through the physical senses (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). James 2:26 Because as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. It is the spirit which must direct the body and not the opposite. John 6:63 It is the spirit which animates; the flesh serves as nothing. The words which I said to you are spirit and life. So, the physical body given to man through human procreation is based on the DNA codes of the biologic parents. This DNA code contains all the details of the physical features of each individual. The Father Creator YHVH created this DNA code for every creature. In the resurrection, He will give back to each individual a perfect physical body just like the body that he had in his human life (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection). The 1st resurrection will be accomplished to receive immortality whereas the 2nd resurrection will give continuous life to allow a period of judgment and correction. Also, the spirit which was in man can be described by a spiritual DNA code which describes and distinguishes the individual in his characteristics, his talents, etc. So, in the resurrection, Father Creator YHVH will restore the initial spirit of each individual into his original physical body. So, in the resurrection, every individual will be restored with the personality which his Creator had attributed to him in his creation / procreation. Furthermore, the memory will be restored with this spirit, in this body, possibly with a certain purification, according to the objectives of our Father Creator. In the plan of creation of Father YHVH, He has chosen men to form His government on earth under Yahushua who was / is a perfect man (see 6.13 The New Man). The patriarchs and the prophets mentioned in the Bible were chosen during the 6000 years of this era. They all had a role in this plan such as was 376
decided by the Supreme Master YHVH, our Father Creator. Yahushua lived a fully human life to redeem his human and angelic offspring, his biologic and spiritual brethren. Hebrew 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: As a man a little lower than the angels, Yahushua confirmed that the human beings and the angels were of similar physical nature (see 6.3.3 The Humanity of the Angels). Logically and obviously, the mortal human beings of flesh and blood could not be a little lower than the angels if these were immaterial all powerful beings like the Father Creator. Yahushua's resurrection as an angel also confirmed that his human nature was also that of an angel and with immortality, i.e. the new man (see 6.4.8 His Resurrection and 6.13 The New Man). The concept of resemblance is unidirectional only since we look like the Father Creator without Him looking like us. The question arises then to know if the human nature would rather be the angelic nature of our procreative Ulhim. The resurrection has effectively this objective to change the carnal man into the new man just like Yahushua who became the perfect immortal man. Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ [messiah Yahushua]: 13 till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of Creator Father, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ [messiah Yahushua]: 14 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error; 15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ [messiah Yahushua]; We have a perfect example in words, in actions but also in the new nature of the immortal man Yahushua who showed himself to his disciples in his immortal body of flesh and bones. As Yahushua became the first perfect human being in his resurrection, human beings will also be transformed into his image which is also the image of the Father Creator YHVH. It is the plan of salvation and the predestination of the entire humanity (see 12.16 His Ultimate Purpose). Humanity was subject and was submitted to vanity and extreme wickedness in order to demonstrate the great mercy of our Father Creator YHVH. The successful accomplishment of the salvation plan and the redemption of humanity will be a source of gratefulness and worship for the Father Creator. He will recreate all angelic and human beings into the image of His first perfect son called the Word. 377

6.7.1 The Woman The woman was created in Adam on the 6 th day but she was formed only 7 days later (see 5.6.2 Adamic Procreation). Adam thus lived 7 days without Eve during which he saw and gave names to all the animals. Genesis 2:18 Then YHVH El said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” 19 So out of the ground YHVH El formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. Jubilees 3:3. And God said to me:' " It is not good that man should be alone : let us make for him a helpmeet like unto him." 4. And the Lord our Father Creatoraused a stupor to fall upon him and he slept, and he took for a wife one rib from amongst his ribs, and this rib was made into a woman from amongst his ribs, and he built flesh there in its place, and byilt a woman. 5. And he awakened Adam out of his sleep, and awakening he arose on the sixth day and came to her and knew her and said unto her: 'This is now bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh : this one shall be called my wife, for she came and originated from man. Since Antiquity, the woman was some times mistreated by diverse individuals according to a slave's status. Why is it so? Would this be from the wicked men who always exploit and abuse the most weakest beings? Would that be a consequence for Eve's sin? We could certainly recall that Eve was seduced by Satan and pulled Adam and all humanity in sin and sufferings. Eve was seduced after 7 years after their establishment in the garden of Eden. Jubilees 3:14. And having ended the completion of seven years which he completed there, in the seventh year exactly, and in the second month, on the seventeenth of the month, the serpent came and approached the woman, and the serpent said to the woman : " Has Father Creatorommanded that you shall not eat of any of the fruit of the tree in the garden? " 17. And the woman saw the tree that it was pleasant and it pleased the eye, and that its fruit was good to eat ; she took from it and ate. In spite of her disobedience, she may be saved and have a share in the inheritance of the saints if she perseveres in the faith of 379
Yahushua. 1Timothy 3:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. Considering the particular situation of the woman in the Bible in contrast to the modern feminist movement, there is good reason to establish the role of the woman as most clearly as possible in the light of the Bible. Indeed, this modern movement of Women's Liberation is Satan's attack which damaged the relation which had been established since the beginning between man and woman. Fundamentally, the role of the women is central because it is through them that all the human beings receive the life. Genesis 3:20 The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. As shown in the above quoted verse of Timothy, the woman will be saved through childbirth. In most of the biblical narratives, the role of the woman was different from that of the man in terms of the activities of governance, of war and of the temple. Father Creator's laws establish the rights and the obligations of the men and the women in the old testament as in the new testament (see 8.5.8 Personal Relations and 8.5.9 Personal Vows). We find in the New Testament no change in the laws of the Old Testament establishing the sharing of authority between man and woman during the current era. On the contrary, the New Testament confirms the role of the woman as mother and as wife under the authority of her husband. Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Titus 2:3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of Creator Father may not be reviled. 1Peter 3:1 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without 380
a word by the conduct of their wives — 2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 3 Do not let your adorning be external — the braiding of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing — 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in Creator Father ’s sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in Creator Father used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. Woman's submission to her husband confirms the preeminence of the man over the woman as the following verses confirm. 1Corinthians 11:7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of Creator Father, but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; At the same time, her submission is an opportunity for the woman to demonstrate her faith in Yahushua in humility, which is an attribute of the saints, men and women. The necessity for the woman to wear on her head a mark of authority confirms that she always has to be under the authority of a man. Obviously, the woman who is loved by her husband as Yahushua loved his church, will more easily be submitted. However, if the woman is a believer, she will be submitted to her husband on converted because of the command. Which woman would refuse to be queen because she is not the king? We have the examples of the queens Vashti and Esther in the book of Esther in the Bible. Queen Vashti was cast out of the kingdom for disobeying the king. She was replaced by Esther who was chosen from the people and obtained the king's love for her beauty and submission. Besides, there is a law which gives the woman the authority on the body of her husband as he has the authority on her body. Indeed, neither the man, nor the woman may refuse to the other the marital right, except by mutual agreement. 1Corinthians 7:3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not 381
tempt you because of your lack of self-control. This right of the woman is confirmed by the law according to which the woman could divorce her husband if he deprived her of the marital rights or of essential necessities of life (see 8.2.7.2 The Divorce). Exodus 21:10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights. 11 And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money. Here are elements of the law which are found in the Bible concerning the difference between man and woman: 1) Adam was formed before Eve and thus, he has the birthright, being the firstborn son 2) Adam named all the animals without Eve 3) The woman was formed after Adam to be her helper 4) The man alone received the command to subjugate and to dominate the whole world and its animals (Eve was absent) 5) Eve was seduced and pulled Adam and all humanity in sin and sufferings 6) Because of the disobedience of Eve, Father Creator decreed that her husband would dominate her 7) The governance of Israel was always given to men, kings or prophets 8) The kings' advisers were always men 9) In the estimation of the vows, the value of a male was always superior 10) The woman was under the authority of her father or under the authority of her husband. 11) Any vow of a woman could be revoked by the father or her husband 12) All the inheritance of the tribes was based on the paternal lineage 13) The birthright always belonged to the born first son 14) It is the father who had the authority to give her daughter in marriage (1Cor.7:36) 15) Only men were appointed priests 16) Only a man (high priest) could enter the Holy of Holies 17) The biblical genealogies mention only the procreation by the fathers 18) A man could have several wives but a woman could not have several husbands Apart from their mention as mothers and wives, a few women were mentioned in the old testament as prophetess or for having participated or contributed to the good of the people Israel. 382
19) The angel YHVH spoke directly to the wife of Manoach to announce to her that she would give birth to Samson. The angel YHVH also spoke to her husband. The name of this woman remains unknown. 20) Myriam, the sister of Aaron, was a prophetess and directed the other women to sing after the massacre of the Egyptians in the sea (Exodus 15:20) 21) Debora was a prophetess and a judge in Israel and contributed to a victorious battle by Israel (Judges 4:4). She is among the few Israelite woman whose activities are so detailed. 22) Hulda was a prophetess but we have no detail of her activities (2Kings 22:14) 23) Isaiah's wife is called a prophetess but we have no details of her activities other than she gave birth (Isaiah 8:3) 24) Rahab hid the 2 Hebrew spies and was later a part of Yahushua's genealogy (Joshua 2:1-3) 25) The angel YHVH changed Sara's name, the wife of Abraham, for her contribution to Father Creator's plan with Isaac's miraculous childbirth at the age 90 years (Gen. 17:15). 26) Queen Esther was a remarkable example of submission and respect. A book of the Bible bears her name and story. In spite of her submission, she contributed to the salvation of the Jewish people in a difficult time by submitting humbly her requests to the king, her husband. 27) Rebecca played an important role, not only in Jacob's procreation, but also in the application of Father Creator's election who granted the birthright to Jacob, in spite that he was the youngest (Genesis 27:5-29). According to the Book of Jubilees, Rebecca blessed her son Jacob (Jubilees 25) 28) Ruth is another remarkable example of submission and humility to her husband. A book of the Bible bears its name and tells her story. In the new testament, we find women taking part in the new covenant according to their role in the good news 29) Yahushua revealed to the Samaritan woman that he was the messiah and she reported it to the people of her village who came to see him and believed (John 4:7-30) 30) There was also a prophetess called Anna mentioned in Luke 2:36. There are no details of her activities. 31) By her example, the believing woman may sanctify her husband and her children. 1Corinthians 7:13
If any woman has a husband who is an 383
unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. Father Creatoras called you to peace. 16 Wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? Husband, how do you know whether you will save your wife? 17 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which Father Creatoras called him. This is my rule in all the churches. 32) After his resurrection, Yahushua showed himself first to a woman (John 20:11). Yahushua specifically asked Mary to go warn the men of what she had seen and heard. John 20:17 Yahushua said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God [El] and your God [El].’ ” 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord” — and that he had said these things to her. This incident shows that the woman may pass on information to men in certain circumstances. However, in the assemblies of the congregations of the new covenant as in the old covenant, the women must give to the men the right of speech, as says the law. 1Timothy 2:11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 1Corinthians 14:34 the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. 35 If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. 36 Or was it from you that the word of Father Creatorame? Or are you the only ones it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. As mentioned in the quoted verses above, outside of the assemblies, the unmarried women should help the young mothers with the education of the children in the obedience of Father Creator's commands. All the saints should help each other to survive in this evil world a separate community. All the holy women should contribute to the mission granted to the church. The unmarried 384
women will be freer to dedicate themselves to the apostolic mission. 1Corinthians 7:34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. 36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. 37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. 38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. 39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. Thus, the unmarried women are freer to take care of Father Creator's things, by devoting themselves to good works and by contributing to the teaching and publication of the good news. Obviously, the holy men and the holy women must inevitably cooperate in this apostolic mission of the last days, each in their respective role. As says the following verse, may all the unmarried saints, men and women, dedicate themselves in their personal calling and mission. 1Corinthians 7:17 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which Father Creatoras called him. This is my rule in all the churches. Married or not, the holy woman will play her role which was given to her with the men placed in authority so that all may participate in the mission of the last days. 1Corinthians 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. In present the modern Babylon, non-converted women are in position of authority over the peoples, either in the governments, or in the religious and other associations. This situation was prophetised and reproched in the following verse. Isaiah 3:12 My people — infants are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your guides mislead you and they have swallowed up the course of your paths. 385
At which woman and in which period of time are pointing the words of the following verse concerning one called Jezebel? Revelation 2:20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. In the resurrection, there will no more distinction based on the gender because all will be like the angels in heaven (see 6.4 The Angels and 6.13 The New Man). Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. In the context of this verse, all the resurrected human beings will be like the angels heaven who do not procreate sexually. Without being physically asexual, the angels in heaven are eunuches due to their angelic mission and their order. The angels who fornicated with the earthly women were cast out of heaven for this disobedience. In the resurrection, we may understand that there will be neither visible sexual distinction nor segregation as it exists in the flesh and blood because all will be eunuches. It is what Paul described in the following verse. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus [messiah Yahushua].
386
6.7.2 The Man A husband must protect and care for his wife because she is physically weaker and because she has a part in the inheritance of the saints. 1Peter 3:7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. Women should be honored by all men but certainly by the elect who know the truth and who love their wives as Yahushua loved the church and gave his life for her. Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, Man must play his role as the leader and head of his wife. He must obey Father Creator's laws and keep all the solemnities according to the commands. There is no more work for men to do in a physical temple such animal sacrifices. The temple is now formed with the physical bodies of men and women in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. In the new covenant congregations, men and women were given their respective role. When there were gatherings of the brethren in a local area, men had the office of preaching the good news as we can read in the New Testament. As Paul explained, women were under the authority of men in the congregation. As men preached to the whole congregation, older women would teach younger women and young women would teach their children.
6.7.3 The Wicked Seed As improbable as it may seem, there is a race called wicked among the human beings. At first, we find the expression in the Old Testament: Isaiah 1:4 Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken YHVH, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged. Isaiah 14:20 You will not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land, you have slain your people. "May the descendants of evildoers nevermore be named! Jeremiah 8:3 Death shall be preferred to life by all the remnant that remains of this evil family in all the places where I have 387
driven them, says YHVH of hosts. Psalms 58:3 The wicked go astray from the womb, they err from their birth, speaking lies. Furthermore, in the New Testament, we still find find mentions of a race of wicked: Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Matthew 23:33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? Yahushua shed some more light on this race of wicked by specifying that Satan the devil was the father of those who wanted to kill him. As John the Baptist called the Pharisees and the Sadducees vipers, can we conclude that they had become the offspring of Satan through a process of physical and/or spiritual procreation? John 8:41 You do what your father did." They said to him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God."... 44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. According to the following verses, the race of the wicked will be destroyed without hope of salvation. Enoch 2:1 Behold, he comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon them, and destroy the wicked, and reprove all the carnal for everything which the sinful and ungodly have done, and committed against him.

6.8 The Cherubim The cherubims are living beings who have a role to play under the Father Creator YHVH. They are mentioned first as they closed the access to the garden of Eden after the eviction of Adam and Eve. We assume that they are a part of the angelic army. Genesis 3:24 So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. The cherubim are represented as being defenders of the tree of life and the ark of Father YHVH. There are thus 2 cherubim above the mercy seat and they are represented with wings. The construction of the ark on earth was a replica of the celestial model shown to Moses. Exodus 25:18 "And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 "Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat. 20 "And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat. 21 "You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you. 22 "And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel. Two cherubim are also represented in Salomon's temple. 1Kings 6:23 Inside the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high. 24 One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub five cubits: ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. 25 And the other cherub was ten cubits; both cherubim were of the same size and shape. 26 The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub. 27 Then he set the cherubim inside the inner room; and they stretched out the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. 28 Also he overlaid the cherubim with gold. 29 Then he carved all the walls of the temple all around, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved figures of 389
cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. 2Chronicles 3:10 In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim, fashioned by carving, and overlaid them with gold. 11 The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits in overall length: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub; 12 one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing also was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim spanned twenty cubits overall. They stood on their feet, and they faced inward. The following verse (v.14) says that Satan was formerly a covering cherub with great responsibility. Ezekiel 28:11 Moreover the word of YHVH came to me, saying, 12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord [Adonai] GOD [03069 YHVH]: "You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of El; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of El; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. It is important to note that the cherub, like all creatures, was created (v.15). Except for the details of the verses above, we do not know more about the cherubim's functions. We have no biblical indication that Satan was a cherub above the mercy seat. A cherub would simply be an angel with a particular and important office under Father Creator YHVH. All the creatures around Father Creator and His throne not all called angels because they are not messengers among men.

6.9 The Giants In the past, there were on earth humanoid living beings designated by the Hebrew word nephilim 05303 and translated by the word giants. They were the offspring of disobedient angels with human women. Genesis 6: 1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of El saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And YHVH said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of El came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. The above verse states the time of the destruction of these creatures. The statement was pronounced 120 years before the flood which would destroy these creatures (see 6.3 The Unclean Spirits). These angels certainly had a particular physical human DNA code to beget humanoid beings. This humanoid procreation by the angels is another proof that the angels are physical beings of human nature (see 6.3.3 The Humanity of the Angels). Apparently, giant creatures had scattered towards other regions and were also called Anakim, Rephaïm and Emim. According to the Bible, there were still giants after the flood. Apparently, giants begotten by the fallen angels have again been seen in the Promised Land spied by the Israelites. Numbers 13: 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 "There we saw the giants (05303 nephilim) (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight." Deuteronomy 2:11 They were also regarded as giants [07497 rapha], like the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim. There is a mention of mighty leaders who died and who will not be resurrected. Isaiah 26:13 O [YHVH], our El, masters besides You Have had dominion over us; But by You only we make mention of Your name. 14 They are dead [07496 rapha], they will not live; They are 392
deceased, they will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And made all their memory to perish. The word rapha of the verse above may be related to the spirits of the Rephaïm which are the giants. Thus, we could assume that these giants will not be resurrected because they were perverse creatures which had to be destroyed by the flood. Begotten by the fallen angels, their unclean spirits did not come from YHVH and would not return to Him as do the spirits of men. These concepts are subject to speculation because of the lack of details and the weakness of the human translations.
6.10 The 24 Elders These beings are mentioned as being kings with thrones. Revelation 4:4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. Revelation 4:10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 "You are worthy, O Lord [Father YHVH], To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created." They have an important role and inform John in his vision concerning the lamb who overcame. Revelation 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals." These elders receive the prayers of the saints and present them to the Father YHWH YHVH in heaven. Revelation 5:8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. The identity of these elders is not revealed. They are not called angels because they don't have a function of messengers among men. We could even wonder if they are already in place at present as angelic beings or if they represent human 393
beings who will be placed in those position at the 1st resurrection.

6.11 John's 4 Creatures These 4 living creatures are described in John's vision as having 6 wings and each have a different form. Revelation 4:6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God [Father Creator YHVH] Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!" 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: Their appearance is very different from all the other angels who all have a human appearance. Certainly, the functions of these living creatures are different from all other angels, thus the difference in their physical appearance. They are not called angels because they do not have a function of messengers among mortal men. According to the following verses, these 4 living creatures have a direct role in the events of the last days. Revelation 5:14 Then the four living creatures said, "Amen!" And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever Revelation 6:1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see." Revelation 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine." Revelation 7:11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped Creator Father, 395
Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. Revelation 15:7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of Creator Father who lives forever and ever. Revelation 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped Creator Father that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
6.12 Ezekiel's 4 Creatures Ezekiel also has a vision in which he sees 4 living creatures, described differently from the 4 creatures seen by John before the throne (voir 6.11 John's 4 Creatures). These creatures have 4 wings and each creature has 4 faces : one of a man, one of a lion, one of an ox and one of an eagle. Ezekiel 1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God [0430 Ulhim]. 2 On the fifth day of the month, which was in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, 3 the word of YHVH came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and the hand of YHVH was upon him there. 4 Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. 6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. 7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles 396
of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. 8 The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings. 9 Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies. 12 And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went. 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning. 14 And the living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning. 15 Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. 18 As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. 19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 22 The likeness of the firmament above the heads of the living creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads. 23 And under the firmament their wings spread out straight, one toward another. Each one had two which covered one side, and each one had two which covered the other side of the body. 24 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an army; and when they stood still, they let down their wings. 397
25 A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings. 26 And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. 27 Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of YHVH. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

6.13 The New Man The Word was created as the first physical man (see 6.01 The Physical Nature of the Celestial Creatures). After, the angels were created secondly and then earthly man was created a little lower than the angels. Psalm 8:5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. Hebrew 2:7 You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands. 8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. 9 But we see Yahushua, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of Creator Father, might taste death for everyone. These verses concern the humanity of Yahushua who was like all other men in nature but without sin and without defects. These verses explain that the angels are a little superior to man. Yahushua, as a man, performed miracles which only the angels could perform. This proves that the original angels and the original man were in the same class and of the same nature, i.e. physical creatures enjoying the powers which the Father granted them. Certainly sinners would have few supernatural powers. However, it is written that the Pharaoh’s magicians could also cause snakes to appear like Moses but Moses’ snake ate all the other snakes. Adam was the first earthly human being who could live continuously if he did not sin (see 5.5 Continuous life). After his resurrection, Yahushua became the new man with immortality because he demonstrated his capacity not to sin, i.e. to obey His Father YHVH in all things. 1Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, "The first man [444 anthropos] Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man [444 anthropos] is the Lord [2962 kurios] from heaven. Note that the second being who comes from heaven is still a man albeit celestial in origin. Some continue to assert that Yahushua is a completely immaterial being according to verse 45 above yet rejecting verse 47 which specifically designates the man who comes heaven (see 2.2.1.2 The Name Lord and 6.3.3 399
The Humanity of the Angels). It is clear that it is the spirit which gives life to the physical body and even more after the resurrection (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection and 6.4.8 His Resurrection). The Bible shows that in the end, angels and humans will be identical beings, with the exact same nature, same dimensions and same ressemblance, just like Yahushua. They will be completely equal then in kind and the small difference which existed before will be eliminated. Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Yahushua. Worship Creator Father! For the testimony of Yahushua is the spirit of prophecy." Revelation 22: 9 Then he said to me, "See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship Creator Father ." Revelation 21: 17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man [444], that is, of an angel [32]. After his resurrection, Yahushua, formerly the angel of YHVH, formerly the Word, received immortality in his resurrected physical body. Having shown himself to his disciples, he told them that he was not a spirit which has no flesh and no bone as he had. Luke 24: 39 "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." Yahushua was the first physical mortal celestial creature and he became after his resurrection, the new physical immortal man to whom the spirit gives life. John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 1Corinthians 15: 45 And so it is written, "The first man [444 anthropos] Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man [444 anthropos] is the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] from heaven. This verse above said clearly that a carnal man took place first. For all created beings, the body was created first and then the spirit was added into this body. Also, the element which controlled Adam was not the spirit but indeed the flesh. 400
Adam preferred to live with his wife Eve, his own flesh and bone who was enticing him to sin into death, rather than remaining spiritually obedient. The enimity of the flesh against the spirit is evident in this fall. On the other hand, we could admit that Adam loved his wife even to agree to die with her. In contrast, the new man came from heaven, who is the angel of YHVH also called the Word ( v.47 ). The following verse confirms that the angel of YHVH is that man who came form heaven. Exodus 15:3 YHVH is a man [0376 iysh man] of war; YHVH [03068 YHVH] is His name. Furthermore, this man came from heaven. John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. The angel YHVH who is the son of Father YHVH came from heaven to live on earth as the man Yahushua who rejected sin. Yahushua returned to heaven to prepare a place his bride, the elect who are predestined to join Yahushua in this perfect nature of man. The perfect man was created firstly in the person of the son YHVH called also the Word and then he was made immortal after his atoning sacrifice and after his physical resurrection to be the immortal perfect man, the new man. Besides, all those who have receive d the Holy Spirit, have received a new life in the spiritual new man who lives in this human body.

6.14 Animals Animals are clearly creatures who have their place with humans. The commandment of the Sabbath day given to humans is also applicable to animals such as the cattle which was used in the works of the fields. Exodus 20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of YHVH, your El. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. In the above verse, the cattle is included in this commandment to rest because it must rest also on the Sabbath days. Furthermore, a very important role was given to animals in the system of atoning sacrifices in the temple of Father YHVH. Indeed, a certain number of animals had to be offered in sacrifice at appointed times to temporarily atone for the sins of the people. In particular, the Passover lamb in Egypt, offered in sacrifice to protect the first born of the people and the animals, prefigured Yahushua’s sacrifice. Yahushua's death, as the lamb of Father YHVH, would be the final atoning sacrifice for the salvation of all (see 10.3 Passover). Animals were divided into 2 categories in regard to human consumption: the clean animals and unclean animals (see 8.4 The Food Laws). Animals have the same structure as angels and humans, i.e. a spirit in a body. Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knows the spirit [07307 ruwach] of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit [07307 ruwach] of the animal, which goes down to the earth? Animals are clearly called living beings and souls like humans. Genesis 1:24 Then El said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature (05315 nephesh soul) according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. 25 And El made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And El saw that it was good. The same term nephesh 05315 describes man also, a human being, i.e. a living soul from the beginning. Man does not have an immortal soul but is a mortal soul.

Genesis 2:7 And YHVH El formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (05315 nephesh soul). In the narrative of the flood, the same term includes all the creatures of flesh having the breath of air, i.e. all the earthly souls, which includes humans and animals and the other living beings who had to die also, like the giants or nephilim (see 6.11 The Giants): Genesis 6:17 And, I, behold me! bringing in the flood—even waters, upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the spirit [07307 ruwach] of life, from under the heavens,—everything that is in the earth, shall cease to breathe: We have some biblical narrative of animals who could speak to humans. Among others, the snake in the garden spoke to Eve as if it was normal. Genesis 3:1 And the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which YHVH Ulhim had made. And it said to the woman, Is it even so, that Ulhim has said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden; 4 Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. Also Balaam’s ass also spoke to him as if it was normal. Numbers 22:28 And YHVH opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 29 And Balaam said to the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee! 30 And the ass said to Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine to this day? was I ever wont to do so to thee? And he said, No. We could deduct that animals could speak in the garden before Adam’s fall. In fact, we find the confirmation in the Book of Jubilees. According to the verse below, YHVH has closed their mouths to prevent them from speaking with humans since that time. Jubilees 3:24 And on that day was closed the mouth of all the animals and of the beasts and of the birds and of whatever walks and of whatever moves, so that they could not speak ; for they all had spoken with each other one lip and one tongue.' 25. And he sent out Maybe we will be able to converse with animals during the millennium to come under Yahushua. 403

6.15 Melchizedek Here are some elements to describe briefly who was and was not Melchizedek, this person from the old testament who is mentioned in the book in the Hebrew in texts which are difficult to understand. Hebrew 7:1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God [Father Creator YHVH], who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated "king of righteousness," and then also king of Salem, meaning "king of peace," 3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God [Father Creator YHVH], remains a priest continually. Some people say that Melchizedek was an appearance or an incarnation of Yahushua to Abraham. The verse 3 is incorrectly used by some to insinuate that this person was an eternal being, having neither father nor mother, possibly the Creator Father YHVH. In refutation, there is firstly verse 1 which asserts that this person was a priest of the Father Creator. Being a priest, he was not the Father Creator. Furthermore, by appearing to Abraham, he cannot be the Father Creator whom no one has ever seen. There is then verse 3 which asserts that this being had neither father nor mother, which is literally impossible because all creatures have a father. Indeed, even the angels have a father. Even the angel of YHVH has a Father, the Father Creator YHVH. Verse 3 would be an incorrect translation which cannot be taken literally but which concerns the appointment of the levitical priests which was made in the tribe of Levi through genealogical right. Thus, the levitical priesthood was appointed from father to son while the priesthood according to the order of Melchizedek is not connected at all with the father or with the physical genealogy. The priesthood of Melchizedek is appointed from direct election by Father YHVH and thus, by spiritual and not by physical fatherhood. Besides, Yahushua has clearly a genealogy described in the new testament (Matthew 1:1). Hebrew 7:15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest 16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life. 17 For He testifies: "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek." In conclusion, Melchizedek was a man who lived in the time of Abraham and who prefigured the spiritual priesthood of Yahushua made immortal after his 405
resurrection. This person, like Moses and then like his successor Joshua (Yahushua in Hebrew), prefigured the office of deliverer of our messiah Yahushua at his 2nd advent.
6.16 The Earth The Earth is included in this section with the other creatures because of the role which Father Creator YHVH YHVH gives it in the Plan of Salvation. The earth is not so clearly a living being of the same type as angels, men and animals. We see in the following verses that the Earth reacts against the sins of humans. The Father Creator causes that the Earth to vomit the nations who sin against Him. Leviticus 18:25 ‘For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. 26 ‘You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 27 ‘(for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28 ‘lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. Leviticus 20:22 ‘You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out. Furthermore, in the following verse, the Earth is described as helping the woman, as if the Earth was a conscious entity. No matter what is the conclusion from these verses, the Earth seems to act nevertheless as an entity subjected to the will of its Creator Father YHVH YHVH. Revelation 12:16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. Moreover, the Earth is included in the concept of the Sabbath as a living entity, as humans and as animals. Indeed, the Earth must have its rest every 7 years (see 8.7.1 The Sabbatical Year). Leviticus 25:4 ‘but in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath to YHVH. You shall neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard. Leviticus 26:34 Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land; then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths. 406
2 Chronicles 36:21 to fulfill the word of YHVH by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay desolate she kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
6.17 The Beast We find mainly in the book of Revelation the intervention in the world of an entity called the Beast (see 11.4.4 The Rule of the Beast, 11.4.5 The Mark of the Beast and 11.5.8 The Beast and the False Prophet cast in the Fire). That is why it is often called here the Beast of Revelation. The human identity of the Beast remains another mystery but it incarnates apparently the ultimate wickedness. The following verses are quoted to enumerate the main points of the Beast. Revelation 13:14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. The Beast will be cast in the lake of fire which is the 2nd death. The Beast is among Satan and the false prophet, the 3 only entities mentioned specifically in the Bible to be destroyed in the lake of fire. Revelation 19:20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
407
6.18 The False Prophet This being is called a prophet because he appears as the representative of the Father Creator. Logically, this man has to be a man associated with religion. Being called the false prophet, he logically has to promote a false religion, against the perfect way of the Father Creator. The world is filled with false prophets today but the one who plays this role in the last days will deserve to be cast in the lake of fire. The fact that he is cast in the lake of fire reveals the judgment which the Father Creator decreed for this man (see 11.5.8 The False Prophet and the Beast cast in the Fire).

7. The Father Creator YHVH Can we imagine before the creation of the first atom or particle, a Single Being Almighty Eternal Superior Immaterial Spirit living in complete emptyness or void (see 4.1 Before The Creation)? Can we imagine that this Almighty Singular Being has planned and created everything with His own power and wisdom the physical universe in which we live and all its contents, including the living beings? In spite of our incapacity to imagine such A Superior Being, it is clearly what the Bible declares (see 4. The Creation). Psalms 148:1 Praise ye YHVH. Praise ye YHVH from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. 4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the name of YHVH: for he commanded, and they were created. Contrary to the atheist evolutionist theories, the Father Creator YHVH has created the universe in 6 days of 24 hours less than 7000 years ago (see 4.4 The Age of the Creation). Exodus 20:11 For in six days YHVH made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason YHVH has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy. The Bible reveals to us that the Father Creator YHVH is the only True Creator of all living beings, men and angels and the Owner of all creation. He is also the Lawmaker. He is also the Father Creator of the Word called the angel of YHVH who lived as the human messiah Yahushua. The Supreme Creator is called the Father Creator in this work to distinguish Him from His delegated and mediatory son Yahushua who also bore the name YHVH of His Father Creator in the old testament and the new testament with the suffix 'saves' (YHVH saves = Yahushua) and who will still bear this name YHVH at his return to earth (see 6.2 the Angel of YHVH). Before receiving immortality, all will have to know the Only Creator, the Father Creator, the Heavenly Father, distinctly from all His creatures and distinctly from His son angel YHVH whom He sent as the messiah Yahushua His delegate. John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true Creator Father, and Jesus Christ [Yahushua], whom thou hast sent . 409
Who is the Creator ? The One Being who sits on His throne in heaven has created everything by His will as revealed in the Bible. Revelation 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord [Father Creator], to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. The Father Creator has granted an exclusive and complete power of delegation to His first son angel YHVH called also the Word and Yahushua the messiah (see 6.4.4 The Pre-existence of Yahushua). Because of this delegation and of the symbiosis of the will of the Father in the son, there is confusion of identity in the world between the Father Creator and His son Yahushua. In the old testament, the angel (messenger) called YHVH is the one who acted and who spoke as the visible intermediary for the invisible Father Creator. In the new testament, again, Yahushua spoke as intermediary for His Father Creator. John 14:24 He who does not love me does not keep my sayings: and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me. As born first son, as intermediary and as spokesman, Yahushua came from the Father Creator also to reveal Him. Luke 10:22 All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. From now on, we can know the Father Creator through all the revelations of His son Yahushua who reveals his Father as the Supreme Creator of everything and all. Without these revelations of Yahushua and without their correct interpretations, nobody can know the Father Creator. Apparently, these revelations have been completely ignored and\or badly understood by all the Biblical students and scholars. By saying that nobody has ever seen the Father Creator, Yahushua said that no single human being has been in the presence of the Father Creator. Contrary to the popular beliefs, neither Adam, nor Abraham, nor Jacob, was in the presence of the Father Creator. It implies that the Ulhim (translated by God in the modern translations of the old testament) was not the Father Creator personally but His mediatory angel who was seen on the earth (see 7.7 The Delegation). In fact, the Father Creator is separated from His creation because He sits on His throne in heaven (see 7.12 His Separation). In the following verses and in all the Bible, the Father Creator is distinct from His 410
son Yahushua ( the lamb) who stands at His right-hand (see 7.11 His Singularity). It is the Father Creator who hands to Yahushua (the lamb) the small book containing the revelations of the book of Revelation (see 11.8 The End of This Age). Revelation 5:1 Then in the right hand of him who sat on the throne I saw a scroll with writing on both sides, sealed with seven seals. ... 6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb [Yahushua] standing as though it had been slain,... 7 And he [Yahushua] came and took the scroll out of the right hand of him who sat upon the throne. The Father Creator has created everything by His only Power but He has used a process of reproduction which implies a mediatory intermediary. This intermediary is His first son, the angel of YHVH, called the Word (see 6.1 The Word, 6.2 Angel of YHVH and 4.1 Beginning of Creation). The process of human reproduction reveals this concept of creation by the Father through and in His creatures (see 5.6 Procreation). The following sections present the different revelations of the Father Creator made through His son angel YHVH who became His human son Yahushua the messiah.
7.1 His Name By examining the different biblical translations, we find that the word god was used without distinction to translate several words from Hebrew, Chaldean, Aramean and Greek original texts (see 2.2.1 Biblical Names). For that reason, the distinction between the only True Creator YHVH and His creatures is made difficult from the translations only. According to the available information from certain expert linguists, YHVH should be pronounced a certain way and other experts propose another (see 7.1.1 The Pronunciation of YHVH). The Bible also uses the shortcut Yah to designate the name. In the English biblical translations, the word LORD is used to translate YHVH. For that reason, the present author will not use in his texts the word god to designate the Only Creator Father YHVH, in contrast to all the English translations. In this work, the word god will be shown in the citations of modern Biblical translations but the original word from Strong's dictionnary or the designation of 411
the entity in the context will be added for clarity. What does the Bible say concerning the name to use for our Father Creator ? The Father Creator spoke and acted through His son the Word who was called YHVH just like his Father. The son, the angel YHVH is the one who was seen and who spoke to men for his Father (see 6.1 The Word, 6.2 The Angel of YHVH and 7.7 The Delegation). Exodus 6:3 "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God (430 el) Almighty ( 07706 Shadday), but by My name LORD ( 03068 YHVH) I was not known to them. Isaiah 52:5 Now therefore, what have I here," says the LORD ( 03068 YHVH), "That My people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them Make them wail," says the LORD ( 03068 YHVH), "And My name is blasphemed continually every day. 6 Therefore My people shall know My name; Therefore they shall know in that day That I am He who speaks: ‘Behold, it is I.’" Jeremiah 16:21 "Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know My hand and My might; And they shall know that My name is the LORD ( 03068 YHVH). Isaiah 42:8 8 I am the LORD ( 03068 YHVH), that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images. Ezekiel 36:23 23 "And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the LORD ( 03068 YHVH)," says the Lord (0136'Adonay Adonay) GOD ( 03069 Yehovih), "when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. Ezekiel 39:7 7 "So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the LORD ( 03068 YHVH), the Holy One in Israel. According to these numerous verses, the Supreme Creator declares through His son Yahushua His name which should be known by His people. As for the rest of the world, there is some restriction. YHVH also asked Moses that He should be called ' I AM ' (01961 hayah). Exodus 3:14 14 And God (430 Ulhim) said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’" Psalms 68:4 Sing to God (430 Ulhim), sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH ( 03050), And 412
rejoice before Him. Isaiah 44:6 6 "Thus says the LORD ( 03068 YHVH), the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD ( 03068 YHVH) of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God (0430 Ulhim). However, the important thing is to know that we exist / live by the will of our Supreme Creator YHVH, whatever the pronunciation of His name. It is a matter of time until everyone will come to the knowledge of His Name. The relation between the only True Creator Father YHVH and an individual is a personal matter. If an individual prays to the only True Creator YHVH in His true name, he will personally perceive the benefits. Besides, it is necessary to know that the only True Creator granted to His son angel to bear His name and to act in His name. The angel of YHVH acted and spoke according to the concept of personal delegation for His Father and Creator (see 7.7 Delegation). In particular, the angel of YHVH acted as intermediary and pronounced the words of His Father YHVH to the men who could not hear directly the only True Creator. This angel, the only son is also called the Word (see 6.1 The Word and 6.4.1 The Only Son). Today, Yahushua has returned to heaven and is holding the highest position under his Father as angel and he continues to bear the name of His Father. Yahushua is still the only intermediary between our Father Creator and men.

7.1.1 The Pronunciation of YHVH There is a general agreement that the tetragrammaton YHVH is the name of our Father Creator. Yet there is a lot of controversy among the scholars and the biblical students concerning the pronunciation of name. The present author has no knowledge of the Hebrew language. Certain individuals pronounce it as Yahveh or Yawweh or Jehovah or Yehovah. Can we determine the true pronunciation of YHVH ? Certainly not by ourselves but by the grace of the Father Creator, it can be granted to men to know. Whom can we trust? I am aware as well that several individuals have probably made studies to demonstrate other very different pronunciations. At this moment, I have considered all the information and the witnesses which I have seen and\or heard on the pronunciation. For the moment, I do not wish to reveal a particular pronunciation in this work in writing because Yahushua said that he only came to reveal his Father's name to the elect only. Furthermore, the same exercise for the name of messiah and its pronunciation confirmed the pronunciation of Yahushua which means YHVH saves (see 6.4 Yahushua). Here is below the Hebrew tetragrammaton with a precise indications of the pronunciation YHVH.
415
7.2 His Revelation Yahushua made a very surprising statement that nobody has ever seen the Father Creator and that nobody knew Him either. Matthew 11:27 "All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Luke 10:22 "All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." John 1:18 No one has seen Creator Father at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. What is the meaning of these words by Yahushua ? The ancient people of Israel had been freed from Egypt by the angel YHVH, their Ulhim. Did not the people know their Ulhim which had led them and protected them in the desert? Some completely reject these words by Yahushua who said that he came to reveal his Heavenly Father whom nobody knew. Did Yahushua lie or did these people not understand? As it is seen in the Bible and demonstrated in this work, Father Creator spoke and acted through His son the Word and not directly. Apparently, Father Creator was hidden behind His son, His intermediary. Yahushua did not reveal the existence of the Father Creator but rather than the Father Creator hid behind the angel of YHVH called the Word which was seen and heard by men.
Isaiah 45:15 Truly you are a God [0410 el] that hide yourself, O God [0430 Ulhim] of Israel, the Savior. These verses above simply state that the Father Creator was not personally known before Yahushua reveals him through all his words, his actions and his person. Yahushua, as the angel YHVH, played the same role of intermediary and personal delegate. However, contrary to the angel of YHVH, the man Yahushua openly revealed that he acted for his Father Creator and distinguished himself from his Father as a person and as a separate entity. The angel of YHVH did not 416
make such a distinction and there is an apparent symbiosis between the Father Creator and His son YHVH called the Word (see 7.7.1 Mediatory Symbiosis). The implications also confirm that the patriarchs have never seen, that is have never been in the presence of the Father Creator. Beginning with Adam, the patriarchs saw the angel of YHVH, called the Word who bore the name of his Father Creator. Adam, Abraham and Jacob did not see the Father Creator but rather the angel of YHVH, the first begotten son. The implications also confirm that Yahushua revealed the Father Creator from the beginning because Yahushua was the Word. All the important elements concerning the Father Creator are revealed to us by and through the son Yahushua, formerly the Word, the angel of YHVH, the intermediary between the Father Creator and His creatures, men and angels. And thus we can start knowing the Father Creator if we know His son Yahushua. Thus, the attributes of the Father Creator mentionned in the following sections are essentially the revelations of and from Yahushua, formerly the Word called the angel of YHVH.
7.3 Spiritual Fatherhood According to the Bible, our Father YHVH, our Creator is Immaterial Spirit (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit and 7.4 His Essence). He gives to every living being a spirit of life by which this being can live. This spirit of life is the essential part of the life of the being in his physical body (see 5.4 A spirit in a Body). James 2:26 Because as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without the works is dead. John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
This spirit of life which is in the body of men comes directly from our Creator Father YHVH El who gives it at the conception in the womb of the mother. When the individual dies, the spirit returns to Father YHVH El who gave it.
Ecclesiastes 12: 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden 417
bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God [Creator Father El] who gave it. Ecclesiastes 3: 21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?
Proverbs 18: 14 The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, But who can bear a broken spirit?
Proverbs 20: 27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of YHVH, Searching all the inner depths of his heart.
Isaiah 42: 5 Thus says Father Creatorhe LORD [YHVH], Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it:
This spirit comes directly from the Creator Father YHVH and that fact establishes the One who gives it as being the Father of the spirits, YHVH El. Besides, Father YHVH is the Father of all in all aspects (physical and spiritual) through His only son the Word called the angel YHVH who is the procreator and biological father through Adam.
Hebrew 12: 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
It is important to differentiate the Holy Spirit (see 7.8 The Holy Spirit) from this spirit given to man to live from. Whereas the spirit in man gives temporary life in a temporary physical body, the Holy Spirit gives eternal life in an immortal body (see 5.16 Born again). As a matter of fact, the gift of the Holy Spirit represents the gift of the spiritual DNA of the Father, which DNA contains immortality and perfect behavior and obedience. That is why the Supreme Creator YHVH El is our Spiritual Father whereas we had 418
a biologic father through whom we received a physical body. The physical body is secondary in life but the spirit is the essential part in life. However, there is question of another spiritual fatherhood mentioned in John 8:44 where Yahushua spoke about the Pharisees who wanted to kill him. John 8: 44 "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
In that case, we could admit that Satan was able to sow of his spirit in these men so that they became unified in the spirit of Satan and thus in his wicked desires.
7.4 His Essence The only True Creator, our Father YHVH, our Saviour, our El, is a superior Being having an essence beyond our capacity to understand. Our Father Creator, is pure love in term of kindness and generosity. Luke 18:19 So Yahushua said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, Creator Father He is pure Spirit, i.e. immaterial without material body (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). John 4:24 Creator Father is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." This verse is significant to confirm the immaterial essence of our Father Creator. Such an immaterial essence is attributed to no other one of His creatures (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). Contrary to the angels who are visible and tangible physical beings for men, our Father Creator has an innaprochable essence by men (see 6.3 The Angels). Although He is an immaterial Spirit, our Creator seems to occupy physically a space localized and limited with His throne in heaven (see 7.5 His Throne and 7.6 His Manifestations). The different visions of His throne room show the presence of angels and other creatures around Him. His son Yahushua is now at His right-hand and this implies a specific position relative to the other living physical beings. Although our Father Creator can show Himself in vision in His creation with His creatures as a distinct Being, He is outside of His creation which is physical and temporal. We could imagine the form of our Father Creator as an holographic image not tangible but visible. Although distinct from 419
His creation, He places a part of His Holy Spirit in His creatures, chosen men, i.e. the elect to reproduce Himself spiritually in physical bodies (see 7.15 His Ultimate Purpose and 7.8 The Holy Spirit)). This reproduction began with His first son Yahushua as the Word. Yahushua confirms again that no human being has seen nor can see the only True Creator his / our Father YHVH. Our Father Creator is invisible for men because He is innaprochable as a consumming fire (see 7.6 His Manifestations). 1John 4:12 No one has seen Creator Father at any time. Colossians 1:15 He ( Yahushua) is the image of the invisible Creator Father, the firstborn over all creation. 1 Timothy 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to Creator Father who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. Being eternal and immortal, our Father Creator existed for ever according to a concept of infinite time which is inaccessible to mortal man. He alone has intrinsic eternal life. He alone has life because He is life by Himself and He gives life to whom He wants. According to the Bible, He actually has given immortality to His first son Yahushua, formerly the Word, called the angel of YHVH. Our Father Creator is self-sufficient and holds all the energy and all the wisdom. He is omniscient but not omnipresent. Father YHVH is not present everywhere because He remains stting on His throne at this time. If He were present with us, we woud die. Father Creator lives outside of time. By this fact, our Father Creator sees the future like the past according to an incomprehensible concept to His creatures. Being love, He does everything according to the good which He can do and give to others. For that reason, He created inferior beings to whom He could give the enjoyment of extraordinary things. His plan of salvation / creation is based on this infinite love. The false doctrine of an eternal hell, i.e. an eternal suffering in an endless fire for His creatures is an insult in this infinite love. Never a loving father would inflict such a torture to one of his children, as evil as the child may be. He created living beings having a role of servants or messengers (angels) to begin His plan of creation, to carry out fantastic things with human beings a little lower than the angels. 420
His mode of creation also reveals His love for His creatures. Instead of creating strictly alone by Himself without witnesses, He established a process of reproduction by which His creatures participate directly in the creation where they are eyewitnesses and in a limited measure, participants. So, in the process of human procreation, He allowed the biologic parents to take part in the creation of the unborn child from their union of love (see 5.6 Procreation). For the parents, the miracle of the life in the birth of their child brings a great enjoyment, the one which Father Creator indeed wants to share with these biologic parents. His essence is complete and perfect. He asks that His creatures be perfect like Him. Matthew 5:48 "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. To accomplish this, the plan of salvation / creation aims at the transformation of all the angelic and human beings to be like the Father Creator, not only physically, but spiritually to live according to the desires and will of the Father, i.e. according to the Laws of love which He established for all His creatures. He will share His essence by which we will not sin anymore (see 5.16 Born Again). 1 John 3:9 Whoever has been born of Creator Father does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of Father Creator. 1 John 5:18 We know that whoever is born of Father Creator does not sin; but he who has been born of Father Creator keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
7.5 His Throne The Father Creator, the only True Creator YHVH is Supreme King over all the creation and thus He has a throne. In heaven, His throne is described in certain visions, among which those given to Ezekiel and to John. Certain details were also shown to Moses so that he built from the same details in a tent in the wilderness to cover the ark of Father YHVH. Exodus 25:8 "And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it. This throne is situated in a place physically determined in the North direction in respect to the earth according to the following verse. We deduct logically that 421
this throne is physical in a precise place and not only imaginary or virtual. Isaiah 14:13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of YHVH; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; The son Yahushua is actually sitting at the right-hand of the Father Creator. Physical creatures are there also, according to the different visions which we find in the Bible. The relative positions of the living beings shown there confirm that these beings are physical and stand around the throne of the Father YHVH. Revelation 7:11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped Creator Father, This throne will be one day established on earth, according to the perfect plan of our Father Creator YHVH. Rev. 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of Creator Father is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. Creator Father Himself will be with them and be their God [Ulhim Father Creator]. 1 Corinthians 15:24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to Creator Father the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of Creator Father and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. These verses confirm the current separation of the Father Creator from His creatures (see 7.12 His Separation).
7.6 His Manifestations The Father Creator, the only True Creator YHVH El is invisible to men who never have seen His face except the man Yahushua. 1John 4:12 No one has seen Creator Father at any time. If we love one another, Creator Father abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 422
However, the Father YHVH decided to show his character and perfection in different manners in His creation. Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, Furthermore, the Father YHVH shows himself mainly through His only son Yahushua who spoke and carried out the works of his Father as he formerly did as the angel of YHVH (see 7.7 Divine Delegation, 6.2 Angel of YHVH and 6.4.1 Only Son). John 1:18 No one has seen Creator Father at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. John 14: 9 Yahushua said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 1John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—— Philippians 2:6 who, being in the form of Creator Father, did not consider it robbery to be equal with Creator Father, Hebrews 1:1 Creator Father, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by (1223 through) the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by (1223 through) His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, In the physical realm, the Only Creator YHVH El is compared to a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29 For our Creator Father is a consuming fire. Exodus 24:17 The sight of the glory of the LORD [ YHVH] was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. 423
Deuteronomy 4:24 "For the LORD [ YHVH] your El is a consuming fire, a jealous El. Psalms 50:3 Our El shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. Psalms 97:3 A fire goes before Him, And burns up His enemies round about. Isaiah 66:15 For behold, the LORD [ YHVH] will come with fire And with His chariots, like a whirlwind, To render His anger with fury, And His rebuke with flames of fire. The angel of YHVH is not a consuming fire because he was seen (see 6.2 angel of YHVH) even if he can manifest fire at will. The Father Creator YHVH El is also compared, as an unapproachable light. For example, the light is a visible concept which exists without being materially and physically tangible. The light is clearly visible, at least its source and its effects are also clearly perceptible on objects exposed to the light. Certain scientists have compared the light with electromagnetic waves, while others to particles of energy which they call photons. Indeed, sunlight warms the objects which it enlightens, without striking them however in a ' solid and material ' manner but rather as an invisible energy. The sun can certainly cause burns on the skin by an excessive exposure. So, the sun light concentrated in focus by means of a convex or other lens, can show the effects of a consuming fire. 1John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that Creator Father is light and in Him is no darkness at all. Psalms 36:9 For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. Psalms 84:11 For the LORD [ YHVH] God is a sun and shield; The LORD [ YHVH] will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. Isaiah 60:19 "The sun shall no longer be your light by day, Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you; But the LORD [ YHVH] will be to you an everlasting light, And your El your glory. 424
1Timothy 6:16 who [Father Creator] alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. Psalms 104:2 Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain. Habakuk 3:4 His brightness was like the light; He had rays flashing from His hand, And there His power was hidden.
The angel of YHVH is not an inapprochable light because he was seen and approached by men and women who survived. The Father Creator YHVH shows himself by exclusive delegation through His son Yahushua but also through every human being whom He determines according to His election thanks to His Holy Spirit which establishes a direct spiritual connection with the Father YHVH (see 7.8 The Holy Spirit). When the Father Creator will be present on the earth with His throne, His light will serve give light to his creatures and there will be no more night, that is no more darkness. The human beings made immortal will not be hurt by the presence of the Father Creator. Revelation 22:5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord Creator Father gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. Revelation 21:25 his doors will not close in the daytime, because there there will not be of night. The current alternation of light and darkness every day on the earth, is symbolic of the ambivalence of humanity between good and evil. The perfect plan of our Father Creator, will establish finally his eternal light so that nobody will ever do or know evil represented by darkness. We have to consider His Manifestations in contrast of his invisibility. When it is written that Father Creator is invisible, it is necessary to take into account his manifestations. Indeed, Father Creator was never seen personally, not because of His invisibility but because of His separation. This invisibility does not imply that he is imperceptible. In His presence, his Manifestations certainly make Him perceptible, to the point where any mortal human being would not survive. In this sense, his invisibility is due to his separation because His presence would be 425
perceptible and visible as a consuming fire or light. So, there are biblical indications that the voice of the Father Creator was heard by men. In some verses, we can easily believe that the Father Creator spoke. Luke 3:22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased." Luke 9:35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!" The only times that the voice of the Creator Father was heard by men must be when the exclusive mediator Yahushua was in mortal human flesh. At all other times, it is evident that the son Yahushua was the spokesman, as the angel YHVH before and as the resurrected son after. Even as a mortal human being Yahushua spoke for his Father Creator. John 14:10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Yahushua spoke these words after he had received the Holy Spirit at his baptism.
426
7.7 His Delegation There is a concept which is fundamental in all the creation and in all the activities stemming from the only True Creator YHVH. Delegation is the concept by which all things are created and all activities are carried out. The source of all life and all activities is the Father YHVH El. Having said this, He evidently decided to act through His creation, i.e. through His creatures in which He can place the manifestations and effects of His power. The most evident example and by which we all receive life, is through human procreation (see 5.6 Procreation). Adam and Eve have been used as genitors in the physical creation of all humanity. Although neither Adam nor Eve are our creators, it is clear that all of the physical humanity arrived through these 2 human beings. This is an example of the concept of delegation whereas all humanity was created through these 2 human beings but not by them. As a matter of fact, the biologic parents are delegated by the Creator YHVH to procreate, although their will is limited to a normally voluntary and planned sexual act. After Adam and Eve, this concept was applied in all human reproduction, for each of the human beings issued from a woman and a man. Thus, the power of the Father YHVH El was used in the system of human reproduction. Although the Creator established certain genetic rules, He is always the One who acts in the creation through His creatures but always in an invisible way, just like He is invisible. We also see numerous activities in the Bible as being carried out by men chosen by Father YHVH and certainly inspired by Him. Men such as Nebuchadnesar were used to carry out the activities of Father YHVH. It is not important that these men be holy or not, i.e. that they are destined for the 1st resurrection or not. Father YHVH El is the Supreme Master of all His creation and He does what He pleases according to His perfect plan.
This concept includes the important participation of the angel of YHVH (see 6.2 The Angel of YHVH) in the plan of salvation and even in the creation. While recognizing that the Heavenly Father is the source of all things, He apparently chose the Angel of YHVH as a direct participation in His creation. By saying that all the creation came through the Word, this Angel of YHVH, the Bible takes nothing away from the Supreme Father who created everything. However, as all humanity came out from a single man Adam, it is written that all the creation came through the Word, this Angel of YHVH.
Hebrew 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds [165 427
anion age] were framed by the word of Creator Father, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 2 Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of Father Creator the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Specifically, this man Yahushua was raised as prince of our salvation, through whom, are all things while attributing creation to the Heavenly Father. These verses below also establish Yahushua as being formerly the Word, i.e. the angel of YHVH (see 6.1 The Word and 6.2 The Angel of YHVH).
Hebrew 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by (1223 through) whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 1 Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God [YHVH El], the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] Jesus Christ [Yahushua], by (1223 through) whom are all things, and we by him.
The term through does not mean by, just like Adam is not the creator of all the humanity but passed on his DNA code for all humanity which was created through, meaning from Adam.
The fact that all creation came through the Word, in a still unknown process to us, does not make the Word, this Angel of YHVH, the Supreme Creator who is the Father YHVH El only (see 5.6.1 The Primordial Procreation).
This would explain why the term Ulhim is used by delegation in the stories of creation. The term Ulhim is found 2244 times in the Bible. Furthermore, the term the Eternal ( 3068 YHVH) is also used in the stories of the creation.
Exodus 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD ( 03068 YHVH) made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Also, who did this angel of YHVH (Ulhim) addressed to participate in the creation 428
of Adam in their image ? One anwer is tha the angel spoke to the Father Creator. Evidently this angel of YHVH used his own image or ressemblance to establish the appearance of Adam and Eve. Evidently, this angel also spoke these words in the presence of other angels.
Genesis 1:26 Then God (0430 Ulhim) said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God (0430 Ulhim) created man in His own image; in the image of God (0430 Ulhim) He created him; male and female He created them. Is it the word of this angel of YHVH ( the Word) who is speaking to the other angels? Could we compare this conversation in verse 26 with the conversation between a man and his wife who would say, ' let us make a child in our image ' while agreeing to procreate a child ? Excluding obviously any sexuality, the participation of the Ulhim concerns another process of reproduction by transmission / manipulation of genetic codes, a kind of controlled procreation under the Creator YHVH’s will. In the case of Adam, the earth would have supplied materials ( the dust), to form Adam's physical body. In spite of the participation of Ulhim, the Creator YHVH would have produced the physical development of this body, just like He grants the growth of a tree after the grain has been planted in the ground. It is through delegation of the power of creation that Eve was created from Adam's DNA code, which was extracted from his rib.
The Bible are clear as well that the name YHVH is used by delegation. The Angel of YHVH was sent to Abraham to announce to him Isaac's birth. This angel is clearly called YHVH ( 03068).
Genesis 18:13 And the LORD [ 03068 YHVH ] said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Genesis 18: 17 And the LORD [ 03068 YHVH ] said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, …
The understanding which can be deducted from this concept of delegation is the following one. Given that the only True Creator YHVH, the Supreme Father is Invisible Immaterial Pure Spirit and given that His creation is physical, He has to act through physical subordinate beings. By His nature, He cannot be seen. He 429
chose in the beginning the Word as the first physical creature and the first intermediate between Him and His physical creation. Afterward, this angel, by becoming the human being Yahushua and still carrying out the will of his Father, retained his office of intermediary between the physical creation and the Supreme Creator YHVH who is the only Immaterial Invisible Being.
This concept of delegation allows the Heavenly Father YHVH to speak and to act in His creation with all human beings and even with the dead. Thus, the son speaks and acts for the Supreme Father who supplies all power in the fulfillment of the prayers of the son. When the son says ' Lazarus, get up ', it is the Heavenly Father who supplies the life to Lazarus, but through Yahushua, through his faith, through his spoken words.
John 11: 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Yahushua lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 "And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me." 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" There can indeed exist a certain confusion in this power of delegation, namely if the son carries out the will of the Father or if the Father grants the fulfillment of the prayer of the son. This question can be answered by the concept that the Father and the son are one, i.e. that their will is identical in all given circumstances.
John 10: 30 I and my Father are one.
John 17: 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
But obviously, the will of the Father who is eternal exists before the will of the son who carries out the will of the Father. John 5: 30 "I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. John 14: 24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent 430
Me.
Besides, the role of this delegation allows our Creator to share the joys of creation or procreation. Indeed, how great are the joys for the parents to see the miracle of the birth of their child. Thus, the mother is a witness of the creation by YHVH of a child in her. This reflects again the generous nature of our Creator Father who loves us and wants to give us and to show us His beautiful creation, to give Him all the glory.

7.7.1 Mediatory Symbiosis Here is a concept which is at the basis of the confusion of those who cannot distinguish the Father Creator from His son Yahushua the Word. It is the concept of the mediatory symbiosis between the Father Creator YHVH and His delegated son Yahushua the Word. As intermediary and delegate, the Word has manifested himself to men, prophets and others to transmit the words of his Father Creator. It is the role which was always played by the Word called the angel of YHVH and later, by the man Yahushua for his Father. An intermediary, a delegate and a messenger must necessarily be in full agreement with the one that he represents and is sent by. Otherwise, he could not play this role. In the case of the Word (angel of YHVH) as messenger and later as the man Yahushua, there is a perfect agreement between the will of the Father and the will of the son Yahushua who does the Father's will. This agreement is so perfect that there is even a symbiosis of personality so that the son was able to speak, think and act perfectly in accordance with the will of the Father. In addition, according to the words of Yahushua himself, the image of the Father was perfectly represented in the son (see 7.9 His Image). Indeed, Yahushua has even said that those who have seen the son, have seen the Father also. John 14:9 Yahushua said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Yahushua did not contradict himself because he had also said that no man had seen the Father in presence. Because of the fall, it is not possible for men to be in the presence of the Father. However, we can be in the presence of His son Yahushua who is His image. Colossians 1:15 He [Yahushua] is the image of the invisible Creator Father, the firstborn over all creation. Thus, we see a symbiosis at almost all levels: in words, in actions, in thoughts and finally in image. We thus have the following situation. The man Yahushua speaks like the Father, acts for and like the Father, thinks like the Father and looks perfectly like the Father. This symbiosis was instrumental and is still today in bringing men to mistake this man Yahushua for his Father. This mistake on the identity is due to this symbiosis or resemblance of the son in all apparent respects. Then, how we can distinguish the Father from the son and vice versa? It is not by the spoken words, nor by the visible actions that we can distinguish them clearly when the son speaks and acts perfectly in substitute to the Father. Yet, the following hints should help to avoid such an error of identity if a 432
minimum of logic and coherence is exercised. 1) The son being issued and created by the Father, can not be the Father at the same time 2) The Father (in heaven) and the son (on earth) by being physically separated, could not be the same individual 3) The son who addresses his Father in prayers and in praises, cannot be the Father at the same time 4) The son who dies and remits his spirit of life to his Father, can not be the Father at the same time 5) The Father being immortal and the son being dead during 3 days, could not be the same individual 6) The son being delegated and sent as mediator by the Father, could not be the Father at the same time 7) The son, being a man that was seen, heard and touched by men, cannot be the Father who is an unapproachable light 8) The son, being the image of his Father, cannot logically be the Father at the same time Logically and in all coherent reality, never an image of a real entity can be the real entity which it represents. The 2 are necessarily distinct and separate objects or subjects according to the strict definition of an image which is the representation of a thing and never the thing itself. Any image which does not represent any real entity would only be an image and not a living entity. Yahushua, the son, is a living distinct entity and the image of his Father Creator. As an image of his Father, the son is logically and necessarily excluded from being the same entity as his Father Himself. Until we can distinguish the Father from the son, that is to know them really distinctly, then we can not receive eternal life according to the verse below. John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true Creator Father, and Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] whom you have sent.
433
7.8 The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is not the 3rd person of a trinity invented contrary to the Bible and contrary to all logic. The Holy Spirit is a part of the Father Creator who is the only True Creator YHVH. The Supreme Father Creator acts when He wants, where He wants, how He wants, with whom He wants without the need to be present. The Father Creator controls from a distance each of the atoms which He created and did put in movement in all the universe. The Father Creator sits on His throne in heaven, being inevitably separated from His human creation which cannot see Him, otherwise it would die. Exodus 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. John 1:18 No man hath seen Father Creator at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. The Holy Spirit must be distinguished from the spirit of life which is created and given to each living being (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). In contrast to the created spirit of life given to all living beings, the Holy Spirit is only given to the elect. The Holy Spirit is not created but it is a part of the Father Creator which He places in chosen individuals. The Holy Spirit acts then as His seed for the spiritual procreation of a new man as a new child of His. His seed can be compared with the DNA code of a man which contains his attributes passed on to his offspring. 1 Peter 1:23 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed [4701 spora ], but of incorruptible, through the word of Creator Father, which liveth and abideth. 2 Peter 1:4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. The Holy Spirit is like the spiritual DNA code of the Father Creator through which He passes on and will pass on some of His attributes to His children, one attribute being immortality. These attributes are developed from the reception of the Holy Spirit in mortal man but they will more fully operate at the new birth, from the 1st resurrection or change (see 5.16 Born Again). Among others, the new body will put on incorruptibility and immortality only from the 1st resurrection or change (see 5.12 Immortality). This incorruptibility is physical and spiritual because it includes the capacity not to sin any more. 1 Corinthians 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be 434
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. The Father Creator can do all things through His power. He has used His Holy Spirit in the supernatural physical procreation of His son Yahushua. The Father Creator has implanted in the woman Myriam a physical Y chromosome representing His image by the power of the Holy Spirit (see 7.9 His Image). This chromosome which contains a physical DNA code is the same which He created at first for His first creature, His first son, the being called the Word and the angel YHVH who's physical body was already in His image. Matthew 1:20 But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit. Hebrew 10:5 So that when he [Yahushua the Word] comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me; In that case, the Holy Spirit was used to physically pass on the image of the Father Creator in the body of Yahushua His biologic only son like it was done at first for His son called the Word (see 6.1 The Word and 6.4.1 Only Son). The image of the body of Yahushua is the same image as the body of this being the Word. Not being a person, the Holy Spirit is not Yahushua's Father. Yahushua's Father is the Almighty Father Creator YHVH who begat Yahushua in the flesh in His image according to the genetic laws (see 5.6.5 Genetic Laws). In this exclusively physical reproduction, the Holy Spirit was not given to Yahushua before he was baptized by John the Baptist as the following verses prove : Luke 3:21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Yahushua also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Luke 4:18 The Spirit of YHVH is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of YHVH. Luke 4:1 And Jesus [Yahushua], full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness 435
Acts 10:38 even Yahushua of Nazareth, how God [Father Creator] anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God [Father Creator] was with him. Yahushua did not have the Holy Spirit from the womb of his mother. We see in the above verses that Yahushua received the Holy Spirit at his baptism according to the normal sequence for the elect. As for all living beings, Yahushua received in the womb of his mother a spirit of life and not the Holy Spirit. In all logic, he received his own spirit of life transferred from his previous angelic life which also contained his previous memory. Before having the Holy Spirit, Yahushua was able to perfectly accomplish the will of his Father Creator because he was the first begotten son of the Father Creator. As the first humanly born of the Father Creator, Yahushua (formerly the Word) was the beginning of the strenght of the Father. Yahushua amply demonstrated the vigour of the Father Creator by obeying perfectly His Father, even unto death, as he had done in his preexistence as the Word (see 6.1 The Word). Deuteronomy 21:17 but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. In his preexistence as the Word called also Ulhim and YHVH like his Father, Yahushua received the instructions of his Father Creator in the perfect way which he had to follow, so that Yahushua has never deviated from this way as shows the following verses. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Hebrew 13:8 Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] yesterday and today, yea and for ever. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, a part of His power is also given to His elect to accomplish His will today and overcome. It is by His Holy Spirit that the Father Creator teaches and inspires His begotten children. At the same time, the Holy Spirit establishes a direct connection with the Father Creator, a sort of telepathy which inspires the bearer the wisdom of the Father Creator through the circumstances of this life. Mark 13:11 And when they lead you to judgment, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. 1Corinthians 2:11 For who among men knoweth the things of a 436
man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of Creator Father none knoweth, save the Spirit of Creator Father It is through the Holy Spirit that the Father Creator YHVH will share His nature and His immortality according to the known genetic laws from the 1st resurrection and/or the change (see 5.16.1 The Change, 7.14 His Reproduction and 7.15 His Ultimate Purpose). The Holy Spirit is generally given to the elect after water baptism and the laying on of hands. Yahushua's disciples received the Holy Spirit on the solemn Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) (see 10.6 Feast of Weeks). They had probably been already baptized in water for some time. This shows a certain separation between the ritual of baptism and the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was also given before baptism in some cases and apparently without the laying on of hands. And thus His Holy Spirit will be poured on a great number of people in the last days. Acts 2:17 And it shall be in the last days, saith Creator Father, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams: Thus, without the Holy Spirit, man cannot live wisely and he dies from his weaknesses and from his mortality as the wages of sin. After a calling and repentance, the Holy Spirit grants to man the wisdom, the capacity to better obey, the renewal of the human spirit and the deposit of immortality which will be applied from the 1st resurrection. The Father Creator YHVH grants a spirit of life to man to live temporarily in a mortal body (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). But even more, He will grant His Holy Spirit so that man may live eternally in an incorruptible body with the capacity to never sin. Yahushua received immortality in his body after his resurrection because he died with the Holy Spirit in him, thus with the deposit of immortality in him (see 5.6.4 The Spiritual Process). It is by the power of the Father Creator, i.e. through the Holy Spirit that Yahushua was resurrected. All those who die in Yahushua, i.e. with the Holy Spirit, will be resurrected in the 1st resurrection.
7.8.1 The Gift of the Holy Spirit The Bible enumerates some gifts of the Holy Spirit through which signs and miracles are carried out. 1Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same 437
Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same Creator Father which works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit with. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 1Corinthians 14:12 Even so you, for as much as you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that you may excel to the edifying of the church. Yahushua did works or miracles through the gifts of the Spirit. John 10:32 Yahushua answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself El. John 5:20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. John 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me. Yahushua told his disciples that they would do works also and even greater than those which he had done. John 14:12 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father. Should we see such miracles in the body of Yahushua today as in the 1st church? 1Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ [Yahushua], and members in particular. 28 And Creator Father has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I to you a more excellent way. The apostle Paul seems to raise the fact that all did not have the gifts but that these gifts were distributed through the members of the body. Those who belong 438
to Yahushua, does each of them have the gift of miracles and the gift of the healing ? Does each have the gift to speak in languages and to interpret them for the edification of others ? Romans 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ [Yahushua], and every one members one of another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; hold to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Among the elect of Yahushua, there would be gifts which would allow to perform great signs. Mark 16:16 He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. These gifts and powers described in the above verses were often interpreted as applying only to the disciples in flesh and blood, at the time of Yahushua, or after his resurrection until his return. Moreover, we have seen these signs performed by Yahushua's own disciples and by the apostle Paul who was bitten by a snake without being affected. The above verses mention those who are saved and would imply the actual salvation after the resurrection only. As a consequence, there is also an interpretation which concerns the powers granted to the elect after the 1st resurrection. Are the visible gifts of the Spirit required to obtain salvation? There are different gifts which are not identical for each member of Yahushua and which are not visible nor given in spectacle to the world. The 2 witnesses, in contrast, will use such powers in a way visible to the whole world (see 11.4.7 The 2 Witnesses). 439
440
7.8.2 The Fruit of the Holy Spirit In contrast in the numerous gifts of the Holy Spirit, there is apparently a single fruit of the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ [Yahushua]’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. This fruit would contain all the elements indicated in the above verse. Although the intensity of these elements may vary, they should all be present in the one who possesses the Holy Spirit. We can imagine that time, perseverance and efforts in the obedience to Father Creator allow the fruit to increase until the maturity demonstrated in Yahushua the messiah. Ephesians 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ [Yahushua]: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God [of Father Creator], to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ [Yahushua]: We again must recognize that the growth is given only by the Father Creator who alone also gives life. 1 Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but Creator Father gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but Creator Father that gives the increase.
441
7.8.3 The Actual Manifestations Today, what are the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in man? Do we see supernatural manifestations as in the day of the Feast of the Weeks (Pentecost) in the year 30 EC? At first, would the knowledge of the spiritual realities and the will of Father Creator be a sign of the presence of the holy Spirit? 1Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which Father Creatoras prepared for them that love him. 10 But Father Creatoras revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 2Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through Father Creatoro the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. The spirit of man can sometimes demonstrate certain aspects of the fruit of the holy Spirit without possessing it. Apparently, those who possess the holy Spirit should demonstrate this fruit in all its aspects but to diverse degrees. Some refuse to believe in the presence of the holy Spirit if there are no supernatural manifestations for healing. Nevertheless, John the Baptist who had the holy Spirit from the breast of his mother, was qualified by Yahushua as the greatest man on earth while he has no miracle to his credit. 442
Luke 7:28 For I say to you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
The manifestations of the holy Spirit are thus the fruit which also shows itself by the knowledge and the desire to observe the laws and the solemnities of Father Creator which are signs identifying the elect today. This obedience to Father Creator will make inevitably opposition to the human laws and traditions which constitue the rejection and the rebellion of the last days. The deliverance from this modern Babylon of the elect is another sign of the holy Spirit, as much spiritually as physically. In conclusion, the servants of Father Creator may not carry out great miracles in the eyes of men at present. Nevertheless, they will occupy offices with Yahushua in the Kingdom of Father Creator.
7.8.4 The Sin against the Holy Spirit There is a concept which is described by the following verses, namely that there is a sin which would never be forgiven; that against the holy Spirit. Matthew 12:31 Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 32 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come. Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Spirit 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of Father Creatorfresh, and put him to an open shame. Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for 443
sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace? A literal interpretation of these verses would indeed allow to confirm such a concept. According to these verses, we could deduct that this sin can be only committed: 1) By an individual who possesses the holy Spirit 2) who voluntarily sins with impunity 3) who refuses to repent It is impossible for us to judge against anyone because only Father Creator knows everything and knows the hearts and secrets. How could we determine who committed the unforgivable sin? We can only notice Father Creator's judgment for certain individuals. For example, we can recognize in Satan's attitude, the total absence of repentance. Even after 1000 years of imprisonment and countless reflections, we read that he will still have the same attitude of rebellion when he will be released. Apparently, this attitude was permanent when he tempted Yahushua because he was already judged. In other words, his crimes and his attitude had already exceeded the point of no return. So, Satan could not repent anymore and thus, he could already receive his final judgment. Let us note however that Satan has not received the final penalty of his judgment yet as to finish the great lesson of humanity (see 11.03.5 The Great Lesson).
According to a certain logic, the 1st death resulted from sin for all men sinners because the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 Because the wages of sin is death;... According to the same logic, the 2 nd death would be the end of those who will be considered unworthy by refusing the forgiveness of their sins (see 5.14 The 1st Death and 5.15 The 2nd Death). We have the case of the Beast and the false-prophet who will be cast alive in the lake of fire which is the 2nd death (see 11.5.7 The Beast and the False-prophet 444
cast in the fire). Apparently, they will have committed the unforgivable sin. According to the current understanding of the Bible, beings can resurected from the 1st death after the millennium in the 2nd resurrection. Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. However, if there is a resurrection from the 1st death, there would not be a resurrection from the 2nd death. For example, what will happen to those who will be killed by the sword at the Yahushua's return? They will most probably be resuscitated in the 2nd resurrection to be possibly judged and saved according to the perfect plan of Father Creator. It is written that their bones will be collected for burial at the beginning of the millennium. What can we understand from the following verses which describe the judgment by Yahushua on the last day called the day of YHVH? Matthew 25:31 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 41 Then shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: According to the literal interpretation of these verses, live individuals would be sent to the lake of fire Yahushua's return (see 11.5.12 The Capital punishment). Logically, these individuals would not be resurrected in the 2nd resurrection but would be eternally destroyed. Also, they would also have committed the unforgivable sin.
445
So, how can we understand the following verses? Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. According to a literal reading of these verses, all those who would take the mark of the Beast would receive the penalty of a fire. Would that be the lake of fire where they would undergo the 2nd death? Would they also have committed the unforgivable sin? However, there is a treatment reserved for thousands of soldiers of the enemy armies which is not clearly specified in the lake of fire as the Beast and the falseprophet but who will be killed by the sword at Armageddon. Revelation 10:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image: they twain were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone: 21 and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh. Nevertheless, if they are part of the army of the Beast, did they not all receive the mark of the Beast? How can we explain this difference of treatment? Can we suppose that the individuals placed at the left of Yahushua and sent to the lake of fire had actually committed the unforgivable sin whereas the enemy soldiers would not have committed it? That is why the literal reading of imperfect translations must be made with caution to avoid any error of logic ensuing from imperfect translations. The question of the sin against the holy Spirit remains another riddle because the 446
wages of sin is always death except for those who repent and who are forgiven through the sacrifice of Yahushua. Who can judge and condemn any individual of such a sin? Besides, this unforgivable sin against the holy Spirit is not clearly defined in the Bible. All judgment is reserved from now on for Father Creator YHVH and for His delegated son Yahushua who applies simply the judgment of his Father Creator. John 5:30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me. 31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32 There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true. John 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. We certainly must exercise a certain judgment against criminal individuals but in no case, we are not allowed at present to decide on the eternal life of anyone. Eternal life is granted by Father Creator according to His prescience, His predestination and His perfect plan. We saw the example of Paul whic persecuted the true church by killings disciples. We would have been sure to judge Paul as being unforgivable but in fact, Father Creator forgave him and even chose him as an important work of preaching. Fundamentally, the concept of the lake of fire is the 2nd death of which there is no resurrection. Whether it is at the return of Yahushua or after the 2nd resurrection, those who are cast in the lake of fire will not be resurected. Those who are killed and are not cast in the lake of fire at the return tof Yahushua will be resurected in the 2nd resurrection. In conclusion, the question of the sin against the holy Spirit is directly connected to the final judgment of Father Creator who has a perfect plan of salvation. The completion of this perfect plan should lead humanity and the angels in a new eternal era filled with happiness for which Father Creator will receive the praises and the worship eternally. We must from now on turn on a personal basis to Father Creator in a spirit of repentance to receive the forgiveness of our sins through the sacrifice of Yahushua (see 8.1.3 Repentance).

448
7.9 His Image The Creator Father YHVH El is Spirit (see 5.1 The Immaterial Spirit). He has no material body. John 4: 24 "God [Creator Father] is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Romans 1: 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, Colossians 1:15 He [Yahushua] is the image of the invisible God [Creator Father], the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by [through] Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 1Timothy 1: 17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God [Creator Father], be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. Being Spirit, our Father and Creator YHVH El has no physical body as do His creatures but He has an image and a form which is impossible for mortal man to see nor to know by himself. It is only through revelation that this image and this form can be known to men. It is the son Yahushua who makes these 2 known physically and spiritually. Matthew 11: 27 "All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Luke 10: 22 "All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." John 1: 18 No one has seen God [Creator Father] at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. Colossians 1: 15 He [Yahushua] is the image of the invisible Creator Father, the firstborn over all creation. 449
2Corinthians 4:4 whose minds the Father Creatorf this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ [Yahushua], who is the image of Father Creator, should shine on them.
These verses confirm clearly that Yahushua is the image of the Creator Father. Yahushua came from a virgin who was fertilized by the Creator Father through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is not surprising that he is the image of his Father YHVH.
Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ [Yahushua] was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Luke 1: 30 Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with Creator Father. 31 "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Yahushua. 32 "He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God [Creator Father YHVH] will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 "And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end." 34 Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" 35 And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of Father Creator.
Christ Yahushua is the first physically and directly begotten son of the Father Creator YHVH El. In fact, he is the only begotten son in this way in a physical body. That is why he is called the only son, the only created human and the only directly begotten living being by the Creator Father. Through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit, Yahushua was conceived by a physical Y chromosome and X chromosome created by his Creator Father. These physical chromosomes contained the visual image and the form of the Creator Father exactly as he was created in the beginning as the Word, before the creation which began in Genesis 1. His mother received a complete embryo so that she was a surrogate mother. That is why, Yahushua is legally descendant also of David through his surrogate mother and adoptive father. So, although our Creator Father has no physical body, He has an image which is revealed to us in the son. The human body shows the image of the Creator YHVH 450
El. It is us who look like the Father and not the opposite. These chromosomes created by the Father contained as a matter of fact, the physical DNA code allowing to reproduce in the physical body of Yahushua, the image and the form of the Father Creator YHVH. Philippians. 2: 6 who, being in the form of God [Creator Father], did not consider it robbery to be equal with God [Creator Father],
This DNA code passed on in this way had to inevitably correspond to the physical DNA code of the angel of YHVH created in the beginning, directly by the Father. That is why the angel of YHVH was also created in the image of the Supreme Creator as His first son angel, the Word. This Being thus had 2 different existences or lives, the first one as the angel in a physical body having continual life and then, the second life in a man's body, having a physical mortality, allowing his death as the expiation lamb. Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God [Creator Father] did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, Yehosua had thus 2 physical bodies with the identical image and his spirit was also the same residing in these 2 bodies successively. Thus, he was always the physical image of his Creator Father in his angel's life as in his human life. That is why, Yahushua confirms to his disciples that he is physically, visually and spiritually the image of his Creator Father, our Father. John 14:9 Yahushua said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Yahushua spoke about his whole being, including his physical body when he said that they had seen him with their eyes and thus, that they had seen the image of the Father. 2Corinthians 4:4 … Christ, who is the image of Creator Father, should shine on them. Colossians 1:15 He (Yahushua) is the image of the invisible Father Creator, the firstborn over all creation. We can also deduct that the angel of YHVH was also created in the image of the Supreme Creator as His first son, his first angel, the Word. In the same way, this creation implies the use of a physical DNA code to reproduce the image of the Father Creator in this first physical angel. On the basis that the spirit in the man Yahushua was the same that in this angel of YHVH, it is then logical to think that 451
it would also be the same physical DNA code which would have been used in his 2 existences or lives, with an obvious fundamental physiological difference. Indeed, Yahushua did live in an aging body contrary to his angel's body which was without aging (see 5.5 Continual Life). Thus, he was always the physical image of his Creator Father in his angel's life as in his human life.
Because of the procreation process which He grants to His creatures, there are several physical fatherhoods in the creation. As we saw, the human generations proceed from father / mother to son / daughter, so that there are several biologic fathers involved in the human generations. However, the capacity to procreate comes from the Creator Father. He gives to each living creature a spirit through which every living being lives and learns (see 5.4 A Spirit a Body). This spirit returns to Father YHVH El when the individual dies. Father YHVH will restore to every living being, at the resurrection, the same spirit as he had in his 1 st life, including his memory. This resurrection includes the fallen angels who will be resurrected in the 2nd resurrection for judgment.
By taking life again as a human being in the womb of Miriam, Yahushua received in himself the same spirit (with his memory) as he had previously, as the angel (see 6.4.4 His Pre-existence). He agreed to abandon his angelic life and to abandon his angelic body so that his spirit may be transferred in the child in the womb of Miriam for the mission which he had accepted in heaven from his Creator Father.
We can see through the process of procreation that only Father YHVH is the Creator because He is alone the source of all life and that He grants a spirit to the man to live temporarily. But even more, He will grant His Holy Spirit so that man may live eternally (see 5.12 Immortality).
We too, are created in the image of our Creator Father.
Colossians 3: 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, The new man (see 6.13) in us develops according to the image of the Creator of Yahushua, Father YHVH, our Creator also. This physical image is obviously not the only dimension. The spiritual image was 452
also transferred in the man Yahushua through the Holy Spirit as the spiritual DNA which inspires a behavior similar to that of the Father Creator. The saying ' like father, like son ' includes not only the physical image but also the spiritual behavior.
453
7.10 His Laws The laws of our Father Creator YHVH are based on His attributes which is love, which is the selfless desire to give before receiving. The only True Creator YHVH possesses everything and thus He can only give, which comes from His nature which is infinite love. What He can receive from His creatures is ultimate spiritual worship, praises, thanks, obedience, etc. His laws being based on love, they are summarized by the 2 great commandments which demand to love. The 1st Great Command. Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Yahushua said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. The 1st Great command aims at the love of the Only Creator YHVH. It is detailled in the first 4 commands of the 10 commands (see 8.2 10 Commands). The 2nd Great Command. Matthew 22:39 And the second is like to it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. The 2nd Great command aims at the love of our human brothers. It is detailled in the last 6 commandments of the 10 commandments. As Yahushua said in verse 40, all the laws are based on these 2 great commands. Then, these great commands are detailled in the 10 commands, which are further detailled in rules and in judgments themselves (see 8. YHVH's Laws). It is not sufficient to say that we love our Creator YHVH and our fellow man if we do not observe these rules. These detailed rules were established by our Creator YHVH according to His wisdom, and not by imperfect men who establish imperfect laws and abusive human traditions but above all opposed to the laws of Father YHVH. All the laws of Father YHVH come from these 2 great commands. They are enumerated more in detail in the other sections. Salvation is granted through faith and grace at first but includes obedience to the laws of YHVH, contrary to the false doctrines. The laws of Father YHVH are not abolished and the obedience is always a sign of love and spiritual worship to the Father Creator YHVH. 454
7.11 His Singularity Our Father Creator YHVH is unique and singular because He has no equal, has never had one and will never have. Contrary to false doctrines like the trinity which merges 3 persons, our Father Creator YHVH is distinct and physically separated from His creation and from His creatures. Our Father Creator is Immaterial Pure Spirit whereas His creation and His creatures are physical. Our Creator YHVH is clearly mentioned by His son Yahushua, called the lamb, formerly the Word, formerly the angel of YHVH in the old testament. The following verses demonstrate clearly that the Father Creator YHVH is a central Being distinct and separated physically from His son, called the lamb and also Jesus Christ in the modern translations. The Father Creator YHVH in His physical manifestations, is innaprochable by human beings contrary to His son who has been seen by many human beings. The Father Creator is clearly distinct and separate from His son who now sits at His right-hand. Matthew 26:64 Yahushua said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." Mark 14:62 Yahushua said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." Mark 16:19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of Creator Father. Luke 22:69 "Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of Creator Father. Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of Creator Father, and Yahushua standing at the right hand of Creator Father.
In these verses above, the concept of a being standing at the right-hand of another Being sitting on a throne, confirms the physical distinction between these 2 beings. The Father Creator is physically distinct and separated from His son who is a resurrected physical man with immortality. 455
Revelation 21:22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord Creator Father Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of Creator Father illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. Revelation 22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of Creator Father and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of Creator Father and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. When a being sends another one from a place to another place physically separate, there is certainly a physical separation of these 2 beings. The Father in heaven sent His son from heaven to the earth. John 3:13 "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. John 17:3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true Creator Father, and Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] whom You have sent. 1John 4:9 In this the love of Creator Father was manifested toward us, that Creator Father has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. There are other numerous biblical verses which prove the peculiarity of the Father Creator and this distinction from His son Yahushua. 1Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is one God [El], the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ [Yahushua], through whom are all things, and through whom we live. If there are some verses which are used to try to prove the false doctrine of the trinity, they are insufficient. The knowledge of the only True Creator YHVH forbids any confusion on the identity and essence of the Creator and on the nature of His creatures. Our Father Creator is Immaterial Spirit whereas His creatures are physical with a spirit living in them (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body).

7.12 His Separation Yahushua has clearly revealed that the Father Creator is separated from His creation by the fact that nobody ever saw Him. John 1:18 No one has seen Creator Father at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. 1John 4:12 No one has seen Creator Father at any time. If we love one another, Creator Father abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. John 6:46 "Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from Creator Father; He has seen the Father. Colossians 1:15 [Yahushua] Who is the image of the invisible Creator Father, the firstborn of every creature: 1Timothy 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 1Timothy 6:16 [Father Creator] who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.
Men were able to see an image of the Father Creator in His son Yahushua and in the angel YHVH. By separation, of course Father Creator was never present on earth and He will not be before the appointed time at the end. The Father Creator is not omnipresent but He is omniscient. The Father Creator sits on His throne in heaven. Only the faithful angels and the creatures around His throne can see Him.
Matthew 18:10 "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. Our Father Creator sees everything and knows everything which takes place in His creation even if He is not present personally. It is man who is separated from 458
the Father Creator because of sin. Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated you from your Creator Father; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. It is Yahushua who revealed the Father Creator as never He had before been revealed. The revelation of this concept of separation must be clear in our spirit to better understand all its implications in the reading and the understanding of the Bible. It should be clear that of all time, no man saw the Father Creator except the man Yahushua who now sits at the right-hand of the Father Creator. John 6:46 "Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from Creator Father; He has seen the Father. John 14:6 Yahushua said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. This last verse confirms that nobody would come to the Father but through Yahushua, His mediator. This statement is true from the beginning of creation where Yahushua was the angel YHVH and the Word unto eternity, without discontinuity ever. Yahushua has always been this mediator since the beginning of Creation because the Father Creator had to be separate from His sinful creation. When listening to and reading the great majority of the biblical scholars and the rest of the world, this concept was apparently completely ignored. Among others, we have to reconsider the story of the creation of Genesis in the light of this concept revealed by Yahushua. It implies irrefutably that neither Adam nor Eve have seen the Father Creator. It means that the term god or Ulhim designated rather the being present there, i.e. the Word also called the angel of YHVH or simply called YHVH. It was not the Father Creator who spoke personally to Adam and Eve in the garden. It was the angel of YHVH who addressed Adam to command him his responsibilities (see 6.1 The Word and 6.2 The Angel of YHVH). Genesis 1:28 Then El blessed them, and El said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth. Genesis 2:16 And the LORD [3068 YHVH] El commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." 18 And the LORD [3068 YHVH] El said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." 459
Some people will say that Adam was able to see initially the Father a Creator before having sinned. However, this argument does notstand because this being YHVH spoke to Adam before and after his sin. Genesis 3:9 And The LORD [3068 YHVH] God [ Ulhim ] called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? It was thus the same being YHVH who spoke to Adam before his sin and after his sin. Faced with this evidence, it seems that the whole world, including the great majority of the Christians, have wrongly assumed that the Father Creator was Himself present at the creation of Adam. Yahushua did not lie and Adam did not see the Father Creator. Besides, in spite of the popular beliefs and the apparent assertions of Genesis, the Word is not the Creator but rather the procreator (see 4.1 The Beginning of the Creation and 5.6 Procreation). The same observation of separation of the Father Creator is compulsory in all the biblical stories where the being YHVH was seen by prophets, Moses, Abraham, Sarah and other persons. In all the stories of the Bible, men saw angels and entities which were not the Father Creator. Abraham saw the being who is called YHVH and spoke with him. He even ate with him. Obviously, this being was not the Father Creator personally but His angel who spoke for Him. This angel was Yahushua before his human mortal life (see 6.8 The Pre-existence of Yahushua). Genesis 18:13 And the LORD [3068 YHVH] said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ Genesis 18:22 Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD [3068 YHVH]. It should be clear that Abraham was not in the presence of the Father Creator but rather of His angel son YHVH. The prophets heard the words of the Father Creator through the audible words of His physical son, the Word called YHVH also, His only son who spoke for the Father Creator. Can we achieve the understanding of this concept revealed by Yahushua, to the effect that the Father Creator is separated from His creation? That is why the being called the Word and YHVH, was the intermediary between Father Creator 460
and men from the beginning and he has never ceased to be when he became Yahushua. He remained continually. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one Creator Father and one Mediator between Creator Father and men, the Man Christ Yahushua Is it not clear as well that Yahushua, the first man begotten by the Father Creator has continued his intermediary's role? It is the same role which he received since his creation directly from the Father Creator as the first son and as he continued as man on earth and now as the new immortal man. We can then understand how easy it was easy for the translators to mislead the majority of the biblical students and the scholars who ignored the revelations of Yahushua concerning the Father Creator. As a consequence, it is generally but incorrectly accepted that Genesis states the presence of the Father Creator while it was rather His son (angel) who spoke and acted for Him. The whole modern Christianity thus ignores this separation of the Father Creator from His creation. Many also ignore that since the beginning, it was the Word who acted as procreator delegated by the Father Creator and also as intermediary. Who is this being called YHVH who will come on earth in the last days to fight his enemies? Zechariah 14:3 Then YHVH will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle. 4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south. It is not the Father Creator because no mortal man would survive. Indeed, humanity will survive the presence of this being YHVH who is the man Yahushua who bears again His Father's name as in the beginning. The Father Creator sends His son to destroy all evil dominion and to complete the redemption and reconciliation. This verse is a clear revelation of the identity of the angel YHVH, i.e. Yahushua, the son of man. This separation will come to an end when the reconciliation will be completed through the sacrifice of Yahushua. Then, the Father Creator will make the earth His dwelling place (physically) and will live with men made immortal like His son Yahushua. 1Corinthians 15:24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to Creator Father the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 461
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of Creator Father is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. Creator Father Himself will be with them and be their God [El].
7.13 Worship There is an act of spiritual worship which is exclusively reserved for our Father Creator YHVH, the only True Creator, as a sign of gratitude, submission, obedience, prostration and ultimate love. Our life, our body, our spirit, our consciousness and all good things come from Him. Our Father Creator YHVH is the source of all life, all energy and all the creation. John 4:24 God [Father Creator YHVH] is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Firstly, it would be important to note that nowhere in the Bible, we find instructions to worship another entity than the Father Creator YHVH. We only find direct instructions to worship the Father Creator YHVH alone, from Yahushua, from the angels and from all other biblical source. If there is another form of worship intended for men, for angels, or for other entities, it must be distinguished from the worship intended for the Father Creator YHVH. Because of His great majesty, of His major power, of His works, of His plan, of His creation and of teternal life which He alone possesses intrinsically, it is to Him only the Father Creator YHVH, that belong the reign, the power, the glory and the spiritual worship for all eternity. It is by knowing Him more that all His creatures, angels and men, will worship him spiritually and will prostrate before Him. In the vision of Revelation, the One who sits on His throne is the Father Creator YHVH who receives the ultimate worship and not the lamb (Yahushua) who is in His right-hand. Revelation 4: 9 And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, 10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that lives for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created. 462
Revelation 7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our Father Creatoror ever and ever. Amen. 1Timothy 6:14 That you keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach to; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen. 17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living Creator Father, who gives us richly all things to enjoy; These verses concern exclusively the Father Creator YHVH who only is invisible and immortal by Himself, whom no man saw. The Father Creator YHVH sitting on His throne has created all things (verse 11). This spiritual worship excludes every angel, and all creatures, including Yahushua, formerly the Word the angel of YHVH who received immortality from his Creator after his resurrection. Indeed, in the vision of Revelation 4:11, Yahushua (the lamb) is standing near the throne and he receives from the right hand of the Father Creator YHVH the small book of revelations. Revelation 5:6 And I beheld, and, see, in the middle of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the middle of the elders, stood a Lamb [Yahushua] as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [Father Creator YHVH] sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne. Nor Yahushua, neither as angel nor as man, nor any other entity live in an inaccessible light (v.16, 17) but the Father Creator YHVH alone. Some people saw and heard the angel of YHVH, as well as Yahushua who is excluded as this invisible Creator. Because of the numerous biblical verses which also bring report the worship of kings and men of high rank, we shall have to admit 2 sorts of worship. It will be necessary to distinguish between the spiritual worship reserved for our Father Creator YHVH Mister Suprême and the worship granted(tuned) to creatures, to kings and to men of high rank. The prostration is an act of respect translated as worship which can be granted for a person deserving of respect but is not the act of spiritual worship which only our Father Creator YHVH deserves. Neither the angels nor anybody else deserve this exclusive worship to the Father Créator. This exclusive worship was confirmed by Yahushua who was excluded himself from this spiritual worship. 463
Luke 4:8 Yahushua answered and said to him, Get you behind me, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God [El Father Creator YHVH], and him only shall you serve. If Yahushua expected spiritual worship himself, he would also have included himself with the Creator indicated to the above verse. The angels, in John's vision, are excluded from any worship and also confirm the exclusivity of the ultimate worship to the Father Creator YHVH. Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See you do it not: I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers that have the testimony of Yahushua: worship God [Father Creator YHVH]: for the testimony of Yahushua is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 22:9 Then said he to me, See you do it not: for I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God [Father Creator YHVH]. In these verses, the spiritual worship is directed exclusively to the Father Creator YHVH. Revelation 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God [Father Creator YHVH], and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. The one who created heaven and earth is the Father Creator YHVH. Yahushua confirms himself that he is not the creator (see 5.6 The Procreation). Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God [Father Creator YHVH] made them male and female. Yahushua would have said that he created man and woman but on the contrary, he attributes the creation to the Father Creator YHVH. We cannot find a single biblical verse which commands to worship a creature as we must worship the Father Creator YHVH, even the first creature Yahushua who deserves to receive great honor because of his sacrifice and before whom prostration is acceptable because of his great sacrifice which brings us salvation. By examining the Bible in the old testament, we find several occasions where high-ranking men, kings, etc. are apparently worshiped. Indeed, the Hebrew word 07812 (Strong) is sometimes translated as prostrate, sometimes worship and the aramean word 05457 (Daniel) is translated as worship. We notice while there is a form of great respect which is associated to the word translated as worship it is different from the worship which is due to our Creator Father YHVH. We thus have translations which can mislead us on such an important subject. 464
As mentioned by the messiah Yahushua, there is a level of spiritual worship which is exclusively reserved for his / our Creator Father YHVH. Matthew 4:10 Jesus [ Yahushua] said to him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God [Father Creator YHVH], and him only shall you serve. Although Yahushua received acts of worship from people who prostrated before him, we must discern the spiritual worship which belongs to the Creator Father and the prostration which belongs to Yahushua for his sacrifice of love for us. In conclusion, the ultimate spiritual worship belongs exclusively to our Supreme Creator Father YHVH and to no creature. There is thus a difference in the act of ultimate worship which must not be made to a creature. Those who worship incorrectly some creature will be corrected. Romans 1:24 Why God [Father Creator YHVH] also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God [Father Creator YHVH] into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. With the act of ultimate worship reserved to the Father Creator YHVH only who is the source of all life and all things, we must also include the prayer as an exclusive act addressed to the Father Creator YHVH only. According to the commandement of Yahushua, our perfect example, he commands us to pray to the Father only (see 8.2.1.1 The Prayers). Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7.14 His Reproduction Our Father Creator has uncountable secrets which belong to Him alone. There is a concept which is fundamental in all the creation of the living beings. By a process similar to human procreation, our Father Creator YHVH can place in a subordinate living being His Holy Spirit as His seed to create a new creature in His image. According to the known genetic laws, our Father Creator YHVH introduces a new life in the individual who receives His Holy Spirit (see 5.6.5 Genetic Laws and 7.8 The Holy Spirit). The concept of the DNA code is used to help understand this process of reproduction (see 5.6 Procreation). All the 465
realities on earth reflect the celestial realities and vice versa. All procreation respects the genetic laws of reproduction, including that of Yahushua. In the case of the human beings, the fertilization of a female ovum allows the beginning of a new human life in a physical body in the image of the biologic father and mother. In the case of the Holy Spirit which begins a new life in an individual, what genetic reproduction will result from it ? We can understand the reproduction of a physical being (man) in and through another physical being (woman) thanks to the process of procreation according to the known genetic laws. In the case of the Father Creator who is an Almighty Immaterial Being, what will be the body resulting from this new creation ? It would be impossible for us to know the answer on our own. This question receives its answer again and always in the only begotten son Yahushua and in particular in his resurrection. All revelations come through the only son of the Father Creator, not only through his words and his actions but also through his origin unto his final status. During his human life, Yahushua perfectly represented his Father Creator. The new testament clearly reveals and explain the distinction between the Father Creator and His son Yahushua. Yahushua is himself clearly and definitively distinct from his Father Creator (see 7.11 His Singularity). At the same time, Yahushua revealed that he was the image of the Father Creator and that he had received from his Father Creator all authority and all power to accomplish the perfect will and plan of his Father Creator. In these circumstances, there is certainly an opportunity for men to confuse the Father Creator with His only son. It was apparently given only to the elect to receive this revelation to distinguish the Father Creator from His only son Yahushua. John 17:3 3 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true Creator Father, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah]. We can see in this revelation, the effect of this perfect reproduction of the Father Creator in a human being. In all things, Yahushua the only son was the first born, not only as a human being but also as the first perfect reproduction of the Father Creator in the first creature in the beginning. Thus, the first born and the only reproduction of the Father Creator was completed in the Word, this being called YHVH who was the direct exclusive representative of his Father Creator through all the old testament (see 6.1 The Word and 6.2 The Angel of YHVH).
466
In this reproduction, we obviously must differentiate in time, the process of the only son in relation to the Holy Spirit (see 6.4.1 The Only Son). Indeed, the Bible reveals to us that the only son had not the Holy Spirit from his creation / procreation because Yahushua only received the Holy Spirit at his baptism by John the Baptist. Luke 3:22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased." Acts 13:33 "Creator Father has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Yahushua. As it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.’ Having no Holy Spirit at first, the son angel YHVH who later became Yahushua, had not immortality (see 5.12 Immortality). Before the reception of the Holy Spirit, the only son was guided by his personal consciousness having received in his spirit the instructions directly from His Father Creator. The only son had received the full knowledge of the way which he had to follow and according to the biblical confirmation, when he became older, the son would not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. We thus have here the perfect application of this proverb in the first son who possesses naturally the first fruits of the vigour of the Father Creator. What a vigour indeed this son demonstrated! In contrast to the reproduction of the Father Creator in the man Yahushua who was distinct from his Father Creator, this being YHVH in the old testament is not so clearly distinguished. We can thus speak about a dissimulation of the Father Creator behind His son angel YHVH. This dissimulation of the Father is confirmed by the act of revelation of the Father Creator by the son and the revelation of the son by the Father Creator (see 7.2 His Revelation). Luke 10:22 "All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." Contrary to the popular beliefs and to human interpretations of the biblical narative of the old testament, the Father Creator was not present on earth but was represented by His son angel YHVH, also called the Word. That is why we can finally distinguish the Father Creator from His only son because of this mutual revelation. 467
Before this revelation of the Father Creator is made by Yahushua, the distinction in the old testament between the Father Creator YHVH and the son YHVH is not evident. Indeed, the reproduction of the Father Creator in this being YHVH is sometimes imperceptible, so much so, that the readers of the old testament were incapable of distinguishing clearly this being YHVH, from the Father Creator. We can understand the confusion which resulted even among the eyewitnesses of this being YHVH who were sometimes afraid that they would die for having seen the Father Creator whom nobody could see and survive. The old testament explains that these meetings were not with the Father Creator but with the son YHVH a messenger (angel).. How can we understand this reproduction into the angelic being YHVH? An explanation is found in the concept that the first creature by the Father Creator. This being YHVH who is also the Word, represents in fact the final objective of all other creatures which were (and will be) created later, procreated through this first perfect son. This first born and only direct reproduction of the Father Creator in His first son, showed the final plan prepared by Father Creator. In all things, this first son would be the perfection to which all the creatures would attain one day. This first son would thus be the example and the perfect model for all the creatures which would receive the gift of immortality later. We can better understand now the following revelation of the son Yahushua. Ephesians 4:13 until we all reached the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son [ Yahushua] of Creator Father, in the state of made man, in the measure of Christ's perfect stature [ Yahushua], Yahushua had already received perfection from the beginning as the Word, the first son, the only son of the Father Creator and he did retain it. Yahushua was tried in the human flesh and overcame all the human and spiritual weaknesses to confirm his status of perfect son and carry out the will of his Father Creator in his perfect sacrifice. It is difficult to understand this concept of reproduction but even more difficult to explain it. This reproduction of the Father Creator began with His first son but it will be continued with His offspring according to predestination and the perfect plan of the Father Creator. Those who were predestined to receive the Holy Spirit in this human life, will be resurrected and/or changed in the perfect image of the son Yahushua which is the perfect model as the first-born of the Father Creator. The first-born is always intended to a special status according to the laws of the Father Creator. The firstborn had the birthright and a double portion. 468
Deuteronomy 21:17 "But he shall acknowledge the son of the unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. The birthright of all creation thus belongs to Yahushua as the first born, the first son of the Father Creator, the first fruit of the vigour of the Father Creator. Other physical sons receiving the spiritual DNA (Holy Spirit) from the Father Creator will receive with the first-born, one share of the inheritance after the resurrection. It is easier to understand why trinitarians invented a non-biblical doctrine to explain this reproduction of the Father Creator in His son Yahushua because they did not understand this reproduction. It is logical that all the future sons of the Father Creator would be created according to the perfect original model of the first-born son angel YHVH. Being at present the only immortal offspring of the Father Creator, it is easy to understand the error on the identity and on the nature of the son Yahushua. However, Yahushua explained his nature and he clearly identified himself to eliminate these errors. But these things were hidden from the wise men of this world and they were revealed to simple and humble men who are in the eyes of the world of little value and ignoramuses. Father Creator revealed to spiritual children His perfect plan. Being immortal son of the Father Creator, Yahushua is also Ulhim delegated by his Father and deserving of honor not only as first-born heir but also for his sacrifice of love for our salvation / procreation. This gratitude to the lamb is relatively inferior to the great gratitude to the Father Creator who orchestrated and planned everything in His great love. The act of worship reserved for the Father Creator is different from the great honor reserved for Yahushua who is the first son among uncountable sons who will be adopted after the resurrection and afterward according to Father's perfect plan. The nature of the resurrected sons in Yahushua will be identical to the nature of the first-born Yahushua who was resurrected and given immortality in his body of flesh and bone (see 6.4.8 The Resurrection of Yahushua). 2Peter 1:4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 469
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of Creator Father, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of Creator Father. In answer to the question of the reproduction of the Father Creator, we saw the results with the angelic being YHVH and with the man Yahushua. Finally, Yahushua represents in his person, in his body of flesh and bone, the final result of this reproduction. The reproduction of the Father Creator is a reproduction which is not thus limited to His only son Yahushua but it will be extended to uncountable adopted sons. This numerous family makes evident the error of the trinity. On the question of the nature of Yahushua, we shall be all like him, son of the Father Creator by sharing the same nature as he showed to his disciples before rising to the throne of his Father Creator. Romans 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Yahushua is the first-born of several brothers who have been begotten through the procreation of the son and the creation of the Father Creator YHVH. In Father YHVH's perfect plan, the resurrection and the change will complete the procreation of the other children in the image of the Father and with the nature of the Father. Yahushua gave a clear explanation that we needed to be born again of the spirit (see 5.16 Born Again). Here then is the accomplishment of the final ojective of Father YHVH to create through a new spiritual birth a multitude of pefect children in the image of His perfect son Yahushua become immortal, a numerous familly in His perfect image. This following verse did constitute a command which shall be accomplished in all. Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
7.15 His Ultimate Goal We can only peak through some aspects of the ultimate purpose of our Father Creator because He guards well His secrets. He revealed to us only some elements for our happiness. These few aspects are deducted from the Bible, from the revelations and from the example of the messiah Yahushua. We saw how the 470
elect living on this earth formed an extended physical body for the messiah who sits at the right-hand of the Father YHVH (see 6.4.9 The Body of Yahushua). Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. Yahushua calls brothers the elect who have received the Holy Spirit, being predestined for the 1st resurrection (see 6.4.5 His Human Filiation). It is clearly established that Yahushua, being the elder brother, is the head of this earthly physical body on earth. It is established as well that the head of Yahushua is his Father Creator YHVH Almighty. 1Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ [Yahushua]; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ [Yahushua] is Creator Father . His celestial filiation is also recognized through a privilege over his sons the angels (see 6.4.6. His celestial Filiation). Indeed, it is established that Yahushua is the head also of all the celestial armies. 1Peter 3:21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—— baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward Creator Father), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah], 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of Creator Father, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him. Although Yahushua is in heaven with a physical body, he is the head of all living beings who will be subjected soon to him in a more evident manner. Psalms 110:1 A Psalm of David. YHVH said to my Lord [0113 adone], "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool." During, the period of development of the plan of salvation / creation, this first son YHVH who became the man Yahushua was the intermediary, the mediator and he finally became the new man through whom all will live. Job 33:23 "If there is a messenger for him, A mediator, one among a thousand, To show man His uprightness, Romans 8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ [Yehosha] who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of Creator Father, who also makes intercession for us. In the appointed time according to the perfect plan, Yahushua will hand over to his Father Creator, all the kingdom, i.e. the complete government of His creatures. It is at this moment that the creation will have been completely 471
reconciled with its Father Creator YHVH. It is at this moment when the Father Creator will become the Guiding Supreme Spirit to guide and coordinate directly all the living beings through His Holy Spirit. The Father Creator will become the head of the physical body formed by the uncountable living beings human angels in their immortal incorruptible physical bodies to carry out His perfect will in all things. Formerly, the true church on earth was the physical body of Yahushua who was the head. The whole armies of living beings (angels and men who will be changed like the new man in Yahushua) will become reconciled with the Father Creator YHVH. This army of physical living beings will become the physical body of the Father Supreme Creator YHVH. The Father Creator YHVH will use His new physical body as He had used His son the angel called the Word at the beginning and during creation. The infinite heavens could inspire us for the following life. According to our predestination, we could be the active members of the will and the power of a Supreme Father Creator who will continue to create new perfect worlds for happiness for all for eternity. Shall we be involved or simply be witnesses in a process of reproduction through Yahushua, like the angel of YHVH at the beginning? Is it only the fruit of imagination or is this so far from what our Father Creator YHVH has prepared for those who love Him ? 1Corinthians 2:9 9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which Creator Father has prepared for those who love Him." Concerning this concept, there will still be 2 essences present in the living beings, i.e. still and always a spirit in a body. The physical body will be the vehicle in which the renewed spirit will be the central and active power. It is the spirit which will allow this physical body to fly and to move without limitations from a point of the universe to the other. Science fiction films will all be exceeded by the new powers which the immortal children of Father Creator will receive. It is at the level of the spirit that the Father Creator thus reproduces Himself. His immortalized children will thus become the visible body of the formerly invisible Father Creator. 1Corinthians 15:28 Now when all things are made subject to Him [Father Creator], then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that Father Creator may be all in all.

7.16 Father YHVH on Earth After the last step is completed in the plan of salvation / creation, the throne of our Father Creator YHVH will be established on earth. This event will occur when all the creation and the creatures are cleansed and made perfect, immortal and incorruptible. 1Corinthians 15:24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to Father Creatorhe Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. This truth confirms the separation of the Father Creator until His coming on earth (see 7.12 His Separation). Our Father Creator YHVH does not tolerate sinners' or sin's presence before His throne. There will be a new heaven and a new earth for His coming. Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from Father Creatorut of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Creator Father is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and Father Creatorimself shall be with them, and be their Creator Father. Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of Creator Father and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. The continuation of the infinite times is not revealed to us nor our activities for eternity. We can only trust our Father Creator that we will be in eternal enjoyment to do His perfect will. It is necessary to distinguish again between the presence of Yahushua on earth during the millennium and the presence of the Father Creator YHVH who will come only after the completion of the plan of perfecting and purification of His creation and His creatures on earth.

8. YHVH's Laws In an environment where many creatures live and interract, it is essential that social and ecological order be maintained to live in harmony and in support of life. The laws which our Father Creator has put in place correspond not only to our essential needs of survival, but also to our aspiration of security, health, prosperity and happiness. Being the omniscient Creator who is infinite Love, the Father Creator YHVH is the One who knows our needs and our aspiration better than ourselves. In fact, He is the Master Potter who is molding His creation as living clay to bring us to a perfect masterpiece in His image. The laws of the Father Creator YHVH are our instruction book for a perfect behavior and for a life of happiness without limits (see 3. YHVH's Perfect Way and 7.10 His Laws). Matthew 5:48 Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 1) Love your Creator 2) Love your fellow man Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes ... asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?" 29 Yahushua answered, "The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: YHVH our Creator Father, the Lord is one; 30 and you shall love YHVH your Father Creator with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these." These 2 laws are clarified in 10 commands and in rules and judgments found in all the Bible (see 8.2 The 10 Commandments). Contrary to the false doctrines of the unbelieving and the rebels taught even by the so-called churches in the world, the laws of the Father Creator were never abolished, either by the apostles, nor by Paul, nor by Yahushua the messiah, nor by the Father Creator. Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. These laws of the Father Creator are a part of the Faith such as practised and taught by Yahushua, by the disciples and by the first church. Disobedience to these laws is sin. 1 John 3:4 Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. The deliberate disobedience which is generalized in the world and even taught by the so-called Christian churches constitutes the apostasy of the last days. This apostasy will cause the worst adversities of all the history of humanity. If it was not for the timely intervention of our Father Creator to save humanity, there 474
would not be a single human being on earth. Matthew 24:22 "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. In contrast, the elect turn to the obedience of the laws of the Father Creator according to the new covenant which excludes the animal sacrifices. The elect wish to imitate their master Yahushua who is the example to be followed and not the churches of this world. These laws and rules are briefly enumerated and explained in the following sections. It is the responsibility of each individual to study them and to apply them in their life at all the levels and teach them to his children. It will be a paradise on earth during the millenial reign of Yahushua because all will observe the 10 commandments and rules of life given to Moses (see 11.6.3 The Millenial Paradise). Grace is intended to compensate for the coincidental neglects of the elect and not to eliminate the consequences of the sins of those who reject continualy the law as being abolished or obsolete.
8.1 The Call to Obedience Contrary to the false teachings to incite to disobedience, our Father Creator calls His people to obey Him by accepting His Laws because they are good. Psalms 19:7 The law of YHVH is perfect, reviving the soul; Several so-called Christians assert that the law was abolished by Yahushua's sacrifice on the tree. Some people assert that we do not need anymore to obey the commandments of Father YHVH because Yahushua accomplished them for us. It is true that Yahushua is the only one who kept them perfectly. In spite of all the obstacles which we have as weak human beings, Yahushua is our perfect model that we must imitate. The only way of imitating him is to do as he did, i.e. to obey our / his Father Creator. It is undeniable that the initial problem was Satan's rebellion, i.e. his disobedience. How then could we believe that the refusal to obey the laws of Father YHVH would be acceptable to any person of a sound mind ? Through all the Bible, we find exhortations to keep the commandments, to obey our Father Creator and we find condemnation for disobedience. 475
The original Faith of messiah Yahushua includes all the laws of Father YHVH, all the rules and all the judgments of the old testament with the exception of the animal sacrifices ending with their application in Yahushua. Certain temple laws have been clearly changed in the Bible (see 8.11 Changes to the Law?). These changes do not conern the laws of interpersonal relations as the 10 commandments. It is the responsibility of each person to study the laws and to keep them. The laws of Father YHVH are not abolished but remain in force today. Contrary to Satan's worldwide deceitful propaganda and contrary to his slaves/servants, the rich and powerful men, the original Faith thus asserts that the laws of Father YHVH were never abolished, neither overruled, nor modified, nor exempted, nor made optional. Indeed, in all the laws of Father YHVH, only animal sacrifices have ceased following the ultimate sacrifice of Yahushua on the tree as the Passover Lamb of YHVH. By this sacrifice, Yahushua showed us which sacrifices would henceforth be carried out according to the laws of Father YHVH: that each of the elect gives his life for his fellow man as Yahushua showed to us. The elect thus must live as faithful servants of the only True Creator to carry out His plan on this Earth as an absolute priority in their lives. As a matter of fact, none of the laws of Father YHVH was overruled but they all remain in force as Yahushua confirmed himself. Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Yet many false teachers claim the opposite, i.e. that the law was nailed to the crossed, i.e. abolished. The following verses demonstrate the will of our Father Creator that all should obey Him. Disobedience is clearly condemned. Acts 3:19 "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord [Yahushua], Deuteronomy 26:16 "This day YHVH your God commands you to observe these statutes and judgments; therefore you shall be careful to observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. 17 "Today you have proclaimed YHVH to be your God, and that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments, and His judgments, and that you will obey His voice. 18 "Also today YHVH has proclaimed you to be His special people, just as He promised you, that you should keep all His commandments, 19 476
"and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to YHVH your God, just as He has spoken." Jeremiah 3:13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, That you have transgressed against YHVH your God, And have scattered your charms To alien deities under every green tree, And you have not obeyed My voice,’ says YHVH. 14 "Return, O backsliding children," says YHVH; "for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion. Hosea 14:1 O Israel, return to YHVH your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity; Isaiah 30:9 That this is a rebellious people, Lying children, Children who will not hear the law of YHVH; 10 Who say to the seers, "Do not see," And to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits. 11 Get out of the way, Turn aside from the path, Cause the Holy One of Israel To cease from before us." 12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: "Because you despise this word, And trust in oppression and perversity, And rely on them, Isaiah 30:1 "Woe to the rebellious children," says YHVH, "Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin; Isaiah 1:4 Alas, sinful nation, A people laden with iniquity, A brood of evildoers, Children who are corrupters! They have forsaken YHVH, They have provoked to anger The Holy One of Israel, They have turned away backward. Deuteronomy 31:27 "for I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. If today, while I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against YHVH, then how much more after my death? Jeremiah 44:2 "Thus says YHVH of hosts, the Father Creatorf Israel: ‘You have seen all the calamity that I have brought on Jerusalem and on all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are a desolation, and no one dwells in them, 3 ‘because of their 477
wickedness which they have committed to provoke Me to anger, in that they went to burn incense and to serve other gods whom they did not know, they nor you nor your fathers. 4 ‘However I have sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, "Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate!" 5 ‘But they did not listen or incline their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods. 6 ‘So My fury and My anger were poured out and kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.’ 7 "Now therefore, thus says YHVH, the Father Creatorf hosts, the Father Creatorf Israel: ‘Why do you commit this great evil against yourselves, to cut off from you man and woman, child and infant, out of Judah, leaving none to remain, 8 ‘in that you provoke Me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to dwell, that you may cut yourselves off and be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth? Nehemiah 9:30 Yet for many years You had patience with them, And testified against them by Your Spirit in Your prophets. Yet they would not listen; Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. Zecheriah 7:11 "But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear. 12 "Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which YHVH of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from YHVH of hosts. 2Chronicles 24:19 Yet He sent prophets to them, to bring them back to YHVH; and they testified against them, but they would not listen. 2Kings 17:13 Yet YHVH testified against Israel and against Judah, by all of His prophets, every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets." Jeremiah 25:1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, 478
king of Judah (which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), 2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: 3 "From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, this is the twenty-third year in which the word of YHVH has come to me; and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, but you have not listened. 4 "And YHVH has sent to you all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, but you have not listened nor inclined your ear to hear. 5 "They said, ‘Repent now everyone of his evil way and his evil doings, and dwell in the land that YHVH has given to you and your fathers forever and ever. Jeremiah 35:15 "I have also sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Turn now everyone from his evil way, amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them; then you will dwell in the land which I have given you and your fathers.’ But you have not inclined your ear, nor obeyed Me. Jeremiah 7:25 "Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have even sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them. Jeremiah 44:4 ‘However I have sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, "Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate!" Jeremiah 32:30 ‘because the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only evil before Me from their youth. For the children of Israel have provoked Me only to anger with the work of their hands," says YHVH. 31 ‘For this city has been to Me a provocation of My anger and My fury from the day that they built it, even to this day; so I will remove it from before My face Deuteronomy 9:7 "Remember! Do not forget how you provoked YHVH your Father Creatoro wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you departed from the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against YHVH.
479
Nehemiah 9:16 "But they and our fathers acted proudly, Hardened their necks, And did not heed Your commandments. 17 They refused to obey, And they were not mindful of Your wonders That You did among them. But they hardened their necks, And in their rebellion They appointed a leader To return to their bondage. But You are God, Ready to pardon, Gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, Abundant in kindness, And did not forsake them. 18 "Even when they made a molded calf for themselves, And said, ‘This is your Father Creatorhat brought you up out of Egypt,’ And worked great provocations, Ezekiel 2:3 And He said to me: "Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. Ezekiel 20:5 "Say to them, ‘Thus says YHVH: "On the day when I chose Israel and raised My hand in an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob, and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt, I raised My hand in an oath to them, saying, ‘I am YHVH your God.’ 6 "On that day I raised My hand in an oath to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, ‘flowing with milk and honey,’ the glory of all lands. 7 "Then I said to them, ‘Each of you, throw away the abominations which are before his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am YHVH your God.’ 8 "But they rebelled against Me and would not obey Me. They did not all cast away the abominations which were before their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said, ‘I will pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.’ 9 "But I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles among whom they were, in whose sight I had made Myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt. 10 "Therefore I made them go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness. 11 "And I gave them My statutes and showed them My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them.’ 12 "Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am YHVH who sanctifies them. 13 "Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they despised My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; and they greatly defiled My Sabbaths. Then 480
I said I would pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them. Obedience is the unmistakable sign of the elect and the redeemed people of Father YHVH El. Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of Creator Father and the faith of Yahushua. 1John 3:24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us 1John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of Creator Father, when we love Father Creator and keep His commandments.
8.1.1 Obedience Some say that it is impossible to obey perfectly Father YHVH's laws without the Holy Spirit. However, we can note that this assertion is incorrect and that it is really possible to obey Father YHVH's laws without the Holy Spirit. The proof and the perfect example is given to us by Yahushua again. Indeed, the man Yahushua succeeded to obey the laws of his Father Creator without the Holy Spirit. It is only at his baptism by John the Baptist that Yahushua received the Holy Spirit. Matthew 3:16 And Yahushua, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, see, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of Creator Father descending like a dove, and lighting on him: 17 And see a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Yahushua demonstrated to us that it was possible for a human being without the holy spirit to obey Father YHVH's laws. Although he is the only man who succeeded to obey perfectly the laws of his Father Creator, it is possible to men to obey in an almost perfect way. We can think of Job and the 2 men Elijah and Enoch who were taken by the Father Creator to not know death in there time. These men apparently lived an almost perfect life. In fact, our Father Creator asserts clearly that it is possible for men without the 481
Holy Spirit to obey His laws. Deuteronomy 30:9 And YHVH your El will make you plenteous in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, for good: for YHVH will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers: 10 If you shall listen to the voice of YHVH your El, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if you turn to YHVH your El with all your heart, and with all your soul. 11 For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not hidden from you, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it? 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it? 14 But the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it. 15 See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil; 16 In that I command you this day to love YHVH your El, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that you may live and multiply: and YHVH your El shall bless you in the land where you go to possess it. Also, the survivors and the children of flesh and blood during the millenary reign of Yahushua on the earth, will learn to observe Father YHVH's laws, perfectly or almost without the Holy Spirit. We can easily admit that Adam and Eve would never have disobeyed without Satan's fraud and instigation. That is why it will be possible for human beings because of the absence of the unclean spirits and Satan on earth during the millennium. They will be instructed in the perfect way from their birth (see 3. YHVH's Perfect Way).

8.1.2 The Wages of Disobedience and Sin Disobedience to Father YHVH's laws corresponds to the act of sinning, that is, of breaking the law of good and doing evil. Disobedience can be done in ignorance or in knowledge through weaknesses or through rebellion. It doesn't matter how it is done, the transgression of the law is sin. 1John 3:4 Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. The justice of the Creator Father YHVH is exact and applies the wages of sin. Romans 6:23 Because the wages of sin, is death;... However, Father YHVH foresaw a plan of salvation to eliminate our disobedience and even our well deserved death. Romans 6:23 ... but the gift of Creator Father is eternal life through Jesus Christ [messiah Yahushua] our LORD [YHVH] [2962 kurios YHVH]. The same consequences apply to the unrepentant sinners according to the New covenant as in the old covenant. Deuteronomy 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of YHVH your God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you this day; that all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you: 16 Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field. 17 Cursed shall be your basket and your store. 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your land, the increase of your cows, and the flocks of your sheep. 19 Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out. 20 YHVH shall send on you cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that you set your hand to for to do, until you be destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the wickedness of your doings, whereby you have forsaken me. 21 YHVH shall make the pestilence stick to you, until he have consumed you from off the land, where you go to possess it. 22 YHVH shall smite you with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue you until you perish. 23 And your heaven that is over your head shall be brass, and the earth that is under you shall be iron. 24 YHVH shall make the rain of your land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down on you, until you be destroyed. 25 YHVH shall cause you to be smitten before your 483
enemies: you shall go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shall be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. Grace is greater than sin but it will not save anyone who sins with impunity against his Creator Father YHVH. Romans 6:1 What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace? 2 In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer? Romans 6:15 What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so. Those who are elect do agree to obey the commandments and they will not be condemned if they sin involuntarily either through ignorance or through weakness. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus [Yahushua messiah], who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Woe to those who sin by rejecting salvation in Yahushua and by rejecting obedience which he gave us in example. Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our Creator Father into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] Creator Father, and our Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah]. False Christianity teaches exactly disobedience by calling upon grace as an excuse.
484
8.1.3 Repentance The call to obedience is made after a period of ignorance and rebellion. Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance Creator Father winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent: Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Repentance is the fact of recognizing our faults and our errors in the light of the perfect way which the messiah Yahushua showed us and which is detailed in the Bible and to follow from now on in this perfect way. Obviously, it is impossible for whoever to repent if he does not know Father YHVH's law. However, for those who are called, they are instructed by the Holy Spirit to know the law to repent by the grace of Father YHVH.
The prophet Daniel expressed this repentance in a remarkable prayer which applies to us all, personally and collectively.
Daniel 9:3 And I set my face to YHVH God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: 4 And I prayed to YHVH my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; 5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from your precepts and from your judgments: 6 Neither have we listened to your servants the prophets, which spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7 O LORD [YHVH], righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries where you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you. 8 O Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you. 9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; 10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of YHVH our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. 11 Yes, all Israel have transgressed your 485
law, even by departing, that they might not obey your voice; therefore the curse is poured on us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. 12 And he has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing on us a great evil: for under the whole heaven has not been done as has been done on Jerusalem. 13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come on us: yet made we not our prayer before YHVH our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand your truth. 14 Therefore has YHVH watched on the evil, and brought it on us: for YHVH our God is righteous in all his works which he does: for we obeyed not his voice. 15 And now, O Lord our God, that have brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten you renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. 16 O LORD [YHVH], according to all your righteousness, I beseech you, let your anger and your fury be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are become a reproach to all that are about us. 17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face to shine on your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake. 18 O my God, incline your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by your name: for we do not present our supplications before you for our righteousnesses, but for your great mercies. 19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, listen and do; defer not, for your own sake, O my God: for your city and your people are called by your name.

8.2 The 10 Commandments The laws of Father YHVH were given at first verbally to Moses by the angel of YHVH on Sinai and then onto tables of stone, written with the fingers of the angel of YHVH. These commands are based on the nature of the Father Creator YHVH El which is love (see 7.4 His Nature). Exodus 20:1-17 Then El pronounced all these words, by saying: I- "I am YHVH your El, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. "You shall have no other gods before Me. II- "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, YHVH your El, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
III- "You shall not take the name of YHVH your El in vain, for YHVH will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
IV- "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of YHVH your El. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore YHVH blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
V- "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which YHVH your El is giving you. VI- "You shall not murder.
VII- "You shall not commit adultery. 487
VIII- "You shall not steal.
IX- "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. X- "You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s." These 10 commandments are summarized in 2 great commandments (see 7.10 His Laws). The first 4 commands of the Decalogue concern our love and our worship for our Creator, our Father YHVH, our Only True Creator YHVH El. We summarize these by the first great command, Matthew 22:36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" 37 Yahushua said to him," ‘You shall love the LORD [Father Creator] your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 "This is the first and great commandment. The last 6 commandments concern our love for our fellow man, such as summarized in the second great command: Matthew 22:39 "And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." These commands are good and are absolutely necessary to live in peace and happiness in immortality. Matthew 19:16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?" 17 So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, Creator Father. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

8.2.1 The 1st Commandment Exodus 20:3 You will have no other gods [Ulhim] before me. There is One Only Supreme Creator who is the Father YHVH who holds alone all power and all wisdom to create all things and all living beings. The Father YHVH has granted to His son Yahushua formerly the Word, also called the angel YHVH, the privilege to represent Him exclusively in all His creation with all His Creatures. The Only Supreme El is the Father Creator YHVH represented by His son Yahushua originely the Word. The Creator Father alone has the power and the wisdom to answer prayers (see 8.2.1.1 The Prayers). We owe Him total obedience as our Supreme Creator (7.13 His Worship). That is why we observe His commanded solemnities and not the days of other so-called gods (see 8.2.1.2 His Solemnities and 10. The Solemnities of YHVH). No other Ulhim is entitled to the honor, to the glory, to the praises, to the spiritual worship reserved exclusively for the Father Creator YHVH (see 8.2.2.1 The Worship). Our allegiance must be exclusive to Father YHVH through His son Yahushua. We must be exclusively subjected to the Father Creator through His son Yahushua to obey His perfect commands and not to evil human laws and traditions or to other authorities who are opposed to the only True Creator Father YHVH.
489
8.2.1.1 Prayers To whom must we address our prayers? Yahushua showed us to whom we have to pray and how. Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your private room, shut your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. It is exclusively to Father YHVH, i.e. to the Father Creator YHVH that we must pray (see 7.13 Worship). We can also note that certain elect in the Bible prayed at certain hours of the day (see 9.1.1 The 3rd and the 9th Hours). Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that he went home. And in his upper room, toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his day, and prayed and gave thanks before was his custom since early days.
the writing was signed, with his windows open knees three times that his God (0426 Elah), as
We may wonder if the saints' times of prayers were at the 3 rd, the 6th and the 9th hours? Further, prayers to the Father must be done in the son Yahushua's name. John 16:23 "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. John 14:13 "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

8.2.1.2 The Solemnities All the solemnities of Father YHVH decreed in the Bible are commanded and are thus a part of the commandments and laws of Father YHVH (see 10. YHVH's Solemnities). They must be observed according to the biblical prescriptions revised after Yahushua's sacrifice, i.e. without animal sacrifices. They must now be observed and they will be so during the millennium under Yahushua. Zechariah 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, YHVH of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles [tents]. 17 And it shall be, that whoso of all the families of the earth goeth not up unto Jerusalem to worship the King, YHVH of hosts, upon them there shall be no rain. 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, neither shall it be upon them; there shall be the plague wherewith YHVH will smite the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles [tents]. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles [tents]. The Solemnities of YHVH are a part of the Faith practised and taught by Yahushua and the apostles (see 3. The Perfect Way). They should also be observed from now on by all but certainly by the elect. All other so-called Christian feasts such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. are in fact non-biblical and based on pagan traditions and rituals intended for other gods or devils.

8.2.2 The 2nd Commandment Exodus 20:4 You shall not make to you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I YHVH your El am a jealous God [Ulhim], visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. This command is written in an apparently simple and direct way: do not make any image. Why then can we see statues of different persons in most of the cathedrals of the world? This command should be clear for all those who really want to obey the Father YHVH. For others, they continue to make and to expose statues and images of all the so-called saints and virgins in their babylonian religions. This command warns the makers and idolators of statues from negative repercussions. He confirms the kindness of the Father Creator for those who observe His commands.
8.2.2.1 Worship Yahushua and the angels through all the Bible direct all worship to the Father Creator YHVH El as we note in the following verses. Exodus 34:14 For you shall worship no other god: for YHVH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous El: Matthew 4:10 Then said Yahushua to him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord [Father Creator], your El, and him only shall you serve. Revelation 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear Creator Father, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said 492
to me, See you do it not: I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers that have the testimony of Yahushua: worship Creator Father: for the testimony of Yahushua is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 22:9 Then said he to me, See you do it not: for I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God [Father Creator YHVH]. The real spiritual worship implies to direct all our prayers, all our hope, all our love to the Father Creator before all other entity. The love of our fellow man comes only through the love of our Father Creator who is the Only Source of love. John 4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. John 4:24 Creator Father is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. All other form of respect as the physical prostration given to the son Yahushua, to any man or angel, to the saints, etc. must be distinguished from the spiritual worship that only the Father Creator YHVH is entitled due to His great Majesty and His great power as the only source of all life and all creation and all creatures (see 7.13 The Worship)

8.2.3 The 3rd Commandment Exodus 20:7 You shall not take the name of YHVH your El in vain; for YHVH will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain. This command stipulates the real name of the Father Creator. His name was hidden from the whole world not to be called by the godless. Those who know His name can ask Him with His true name and in the true name of the messiah Yahushua. Those who speak against the name of the Father Creator incur a penalty. We must not swear in the name of the Father Creator. Matthew 5:33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of Creator Father, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil. Those who go as far as cursing their Ulhim incur the death penalty. Job 2:9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God [Ulhim] and die.”

8.2.4 The 4th Commandment - Sabbath (see 10.1) Contrary to the apostasy of the last days which consecrates Sunday, the commandment of the 7th day Sabbath rest was never abolished nor changed. Yet we must review our doctrine in the light of new revelations (see 10.1.1. Newly Found Sabbath). Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shall you labor, and do all your work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of YHVH your El: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: 11 For in six days YHVH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: why YHVH blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 31:13 "Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am YHVH who sanctifies you. 14 ‘You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 ‘Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to YHVH. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 ‘Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 ‘It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days YHVH made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’" We must take note that the 7th day Sabbath rest was sanctified (set apart) from the 7th day of creation. Genesis 2:3 So El blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it El rested from all his work that he had done in creation. Despite the contrary teachings of the numerous so-called Christian associations, this 7th day Sabbath rest remains still pour the people of Father Creator during the present era of the new covenant. Hebrews 4:9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of Father Creator. The disciples and women who were taught by Yahushua himself were still 495
keeping the Sabbath after his death according to his example as the following verse confirms. Luke 23:55 The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. As the other commandments, the 7th day Sabbath was not abolished by Yehosua. Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. After the people of Israel's exodus from Egypt, the Sabbath was given to them in the wilderness before and separately from the other commandments as a perpetual covenant. In the Sabbath command, the people could gather the manna during 6 days but on the 7th day Sabbath, they had to remain at rest. Exodus 16:26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is a Sabbath, there will be none.” 27 On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they found none. Exodus 16:23 he said to them, “This is what YHVH has commanded: ‘Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over lay aside to be kept till the morning.’ ” 29 See! YHVH has given you the Sabbath; therefore on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Remain each of you in his place; let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.” The gift of the manna was the opportunity for the people of Israel to receive the Sabbath as a sign of sanctification by Father Creator YHVH and to learn how to observe it correctly (see 10.13.1 Requirements for Holy Convocations). Having left Egypt after 450 years of slavery, they had lost track which day was the 7th day. It is only through the intervention of the angel YHVH that the people learned which was the 7 day weekly cycle to observe with its Sabbath. Furthermore, they were instructed to cook and to boil the food on the 6 th day, in preparation for the 7th day. The manna cooked on the 6 th day was preserved for its consumption on the 7th day. It is the same concept of preservation with all the food which we cook on the 6th day to consume it on the 7th day Sabbath. Also, it is forbidden to buy or sell on the Sabbath days. Amos 8:5 saying, “When will the new moon [intercalary day] be over, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may offer wheat for sale, that we may make the ephah small and the shekel great and deal deceitfully with false balances, Nehemiah 13:15 In those days saw I in Judah some treading 496
winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses therewith; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals. 16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought in 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? 18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. 19 And it came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day. The Sabbath command was then repeated in the 10 commandments. Also, there were no animal sacrifices associated with the Sabbath day. The animal sacrifices were later added and are not a part of the Sabbath, nor of the other 9 commandments (see 8.3 The Sacrificial Laws). Furthermore, the Sabbath was decreed as a day of holy convocation as a dedicated memorial or solemn day or feast day in a series of annual solemnities in the book of Leviticus (see 10.1 The Sabbath). Leviticus 23:1 And YHVH spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of YHVH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts. 3 Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath [07676] of solemn rest [07677], a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto YHVH in all your dwellings. Yahushua and the apostles observed the Sabbath and the intercalary days called new moons (see 9.3.2 Intercalary Days). Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon [intercalary day] or a Sabbath. The above verse confirms the keeping of the food laws, of the solemn days, of the Sabbaths and of the intercalary days called new moons in thte modern translations (see 10.2 Intercalary Days). The book of Enoch constitues a revelation of the true calendar with its intercalary days. Regardless that the Bible, as some say, is too silent on the observance of the intercalary days called new moons, the elect kept them because they are part of the calendar and the 497
solemnities (see 9.0 YHVH's Calendar). The observance of Sunday as a substitute to the true Sabbath, is simply part of the apostasy of the last days and may even be part of the mark of the Beast (see 11.03.10 L'Apostasie and 11.4.5 The Mark of the Beast). The Hebrew words sabbath [07676] and rest [07677] indicate a solemn rest without work nor cooking nor the preparation of meals. This restriction applies to the 7th day rest but also to other solemn days which are also called Sabbath days, such as the Day of Atonement and the Day of Trumpets. Servile works are prohibited for all weekly Sabbath days, holy days and intercalary days called new moons (see 10.12 Servile Works). We must prepare all in advance on the preceding day which is called accordingly, the day of preparation (see 10.11 The Preparation Day). For certain holy days, although servile works are prohibited, the preparation of meals for the day is allowed according to the following verse. Exodus 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16 And in the first day there shall be to you an holy convocation, and in the seventh day an holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. Thus, we need to distinguish certain practices among the solemn days to keep which all have a holy convocations (see 10.13.1 Requirements). Evidently, we must not do any physical work such as gathering wood for heating. Some days of solemnities are less restrictive than the weekly Sabbath rest. We may prepare some meals on certain holy days and on the intercalary days. The book of Jubilees gives us more details on the observance of the Sabbath days. Jubilees 50:4 And, behold, the command of the Sabbaths I have written down for thee, and all the judgments of its laws. 5. Six days thou shalt do work, and on the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, your God ; ye shall not do any work on it, neither ye, nor your children, nor your male servants, nor your maid servants, nor any of your beasts, nor your stranger who is with you. 6. The man that does any work on it shall die, and every man who desecrates this day, who lies with a wife, and who says that he will do something on it, that he will make a trip on it, or concerning all buying and selling, and who draws water on it which he did not prepare for himself on the sixth day and whoever takes up a burden to carry it out of his tent or out of his house, he shall die. 498
7. Ye shall not do any work on the Sabbath which ye have not prepared for yourselves on the sixth day, to eat or to drink or to rest or to keep Sabbath from all your work on that day, and to bless the Lord your THE BOOK OF JUBILEES. I3I God, who has given it to you as a festival day; and a holy day it shall be, and a day of the holy kingdom, for all Israel this day, among your days, in all the days. 8. For great is the honor which the Lord has given to Israel to eat and to drink and to be satisfied on this festival day, after resting on this day from all the work of the children of men, except burning frankincense and bringing offerings and sacrifices before the Lord on the days and the Sabbaths. 9. This work alone shall be done on the Sabbath days, in the sanctuary of the Lord your God, so that these shall appear over Israel as a constant atonement, day by day, as a memorial, which is acceptable before the Lord and received forever, day by day, as I have commanded thee. 10. And every man who does any work on this day, or makes a journey, or works his land, be it in the house or at any other place, and whoever lights a fire or rides upon any beast, or travels by ship upon the sea, and everyone that strikes or kills anything, or kills an animal or a bird, and who catches an animal and bird and fish, and who contends or engages in war on the Sabbath day, the man that does any of these things on the Sabbath day, shall die, so that the children of Israel shall observe the Sabbaths, according to the command of the Sabbath of the land, as it is written on the tablets of heaven, which he gave into my hands, that I should write for thee the laws of the times, and the different times in the division of their days. Also, we need to know the exact moment when the Sabbat day begins and when it ends. The days begins at sunset and ends at sunset the next day (see 9.1 The Day). The day of rest of the day of Atonement is however amplified with a complete fasting of food and water and is established as a very holy solemn day of rest (see 10.8 The Day of Atonement). In summary, on the Sabbath days, it is forbidden to: 1) Transport burdens 2) Carry out(achieve) slavish works 3) Work 4) Cook or boil the food 5) Buy or sell 499
6) Travel of long distances In conclusion, the weekly Sabbath and all the Sabbath commanded in the Old Testament is always effective in the new covenant for the elect during the current era. So, the continuity of the weekly cycle is obviously essential in the observance of the 7th day as Sabbath (see 9.2 The Week).

Deuteronomy 5:16 Honor your father and your mother, as YHVH your El has commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which YHVH your El gives you. This command comes with a promise. Ephesians 6:2 Honor your father and your mother, (it is the first command with promise,) This command should be easy to understand. Why today, are the old persons abandoned by their children in specialized residences and institutions ? This command concerns the conservation of the dignity of the aged parents and their respect as the family patriarchs. Regrettably, we notice that the aged persons also are afflicted by mental illnesses which cause a heavy burden on families. These diseases are caused by poisons which are added to the food produced commercially with the agreement of the blind or incompetent governmental agencies. On the other hand, when children are impoverished, they cannot always give the care that the parents need. However, it is not an excuse to abandon them completely. 500
The command can go so far as to obey the parents. It is certainly true for young children who must not disobey their parents. Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Also, lacking respect to parents is subject to a severe penalty as the case may be. Matthew 15:4 For Creator Father, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ Exodus 21:15 And he that smites his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

8.2.6 The 6th Commandment Exodus 20:13 “You shall not murder. It is indeed the murder which is forbidden rather than simply killing since capital punishment is part of Father YHVH's law. It is capital punishment which is applied to all the human beings as the wages of sin (see 5.14 The 1 st Death). At the return of Yahushua, capital punishment will be applied to all those who did not repent and who committed genocides (see 11.5.10 Capital punishment). If we are forbidden to take the life of a person, may we deliberately wound another ? Obviously, self-defence is allowed in the human laws but we can wonder what did Yahushua mean to say in the following verses. Matthew 5:39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. Luke 6:29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. It would then be necessary to consider what Yahushua is asking us to do when we are attacked or persecuted. Luke 21: But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake. In face of these persecutions, Yahushua recommends us rather to flee so as not to use violence but to look for a peaceful life. Matthew 10:23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

8.2.6.1 Abortion In this modern world, the right of the feotus is reduced to the will of the mother. The biblical principle is the following one: if the child threatens the life of the mother, the child must be killed. Exodus 21:15 "And he who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. So, in a situation where the life of the mother is put in danger by the pregnancy, i.e. by the child in her womb, the child can then be legally aborted. Obviously, we are speaking of immediate threat to the life of the mother and not about any speculation or anticipation of domestic, social, financial or psychological annoyances or difficulties. Whether the child is planned by the mother is not a motive for abortion. All the real and imaginary problems anticipated by the mother are not valid motives according to the Laws of YHVH if the life of the mother is not put in danger in a clear and precise way by the child in her womb. The life of the child begins at conception. Thus, the viability or autonomy of the child is not a criterion for the abortion which is then an unjustified murder if the child does not threaten the life of the mother. The laws of Father YHVH and even the human laws, forbid the unjustified murder of any human being (see 8.2 10 The Commandments).
Exodus 20:13 "You shall not murder. The Bible mentions the creation of life in the womb of the mother from the first moment of the conception. Job 31:15 Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb? Psalm 139:13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. Exodus 21:22 "If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23 "But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, It is clearly established in the previous verses that if the child dies further to this 503
aggression on the mother, the life of the child must be paid by the life of the aggressors. This confirms the validity of the life of the foetus, regardless of its viability or maturity. Thus, the generations described in the Holy Scriptures are established from the time of conception, and not absolutely at birth. Genesis 5:12 Cainan lived seventy years, and begot Mahalalel. Genesis 5:18 Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and begot Enoch. In the calculation of the historic dates of the generations, it would apparently be necessary to use the period of gestation of 9 months and not the birth in the verses as above. It is written that even if our mother abandoned us, our Father YHVH would not abandon us. Isaiah 49:15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you. We can conclude that an abortion is a heavy burden for the mother. It is a decision which should not be taken with seriousness. After all, the mother will have to live with her conscience afterward. Besides, we are all sinners and it doesn't matter what would be held against us all, there is not condemnation anymore for those who are in Yahushua. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus [Yahushua messiah], who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. So, Yahushua says to the women, as he said to the woman sinner and as he would say in all: John 8:11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Yahushua said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

8.2.7 The 7th Commandment Exodus 20:14 “You shall not commit adultery. There are several interpretations to this command and even more numerous within the definition of civil marriage according to human laws which forbid polygamy. In its strict biblical definition, adultery is committed by a man who has a sexual relation with a woman who is already married or engaged to another man. In the spirit of the law, even an intellectual desire for a married or engaged woman also constitutes an adultery. This excludes all other human interpretation based on human laws. A sexual relation with a non married woman or a prostitute is not an adultery but rather would be fornication even if this man is already married because polygamy is allowed in Father YHVH's Laws (see 8.2.7.3 Polygamy). The definition of adultery according to the human laws and traditions is against Father YHVH's laws. Also, divorce is allowed according to Father YHVH's laws under certain conditions (see 8.2.7.2 Divorce). Also, a man and a woman who are not civilly married and who live as a couple, are not necessarly adulterous but may simply be married before Father YHVH (see 8.2.7.1 Marriage). The human definition of common law marriage and its civil illegality is an incitation to false accusations of adultery from incorrect teachings. Satan is the accuser thus we should not be accusing when it may even be false accusations.
8.2.7.1 Marriage INTRODUCTION In order to obey Father YHVH instead of men, we must determine in detail which are Father YHVH's laws that govern marriage today. These laws of Father YHVH are those which we find in the Bible. The place is insufficient to repeat them all here. Each is responsible to read them, to study them and to put them into practice. It is unmistakable that nations and so-called churches have established human laws and traditions on marriage which are against the 505
ultimate and final authority of Father YHVH in the Bible, just like the rest. It is clear that marriage today is almost only controlled under the civil authority of the nations. Is it important whether they are in agreement with the laws of Father YHVH or not? As with all Father YHVH's laws, the elect must determine the obligations on marriage from the true interpretations of the Bible and not from human interpretations or inventions. 2Peter 1:20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, Those who insist to exclusively obey the human laws and traditions of their nation, to be conformed or to avoid adversity and persecutions from men, also risk to fall or to incite people in the trap of the mark of the Beast. The elect must discern and obey YHVH instead of men. What instructions should we follow to observe correctly the laws of Father YHVH on marriage, men or Father YHVH ? The following texts should serve as a warning to avoid falling in the trap of the human laws and traditions even imposed by the so-called modern churches. The elect have a choice to make. Acts 5:29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: "We ought to obey Creator Father rather than men. It is evident that this world does not hesitate to reject Father YHVH' laws and to impose or to observe contrary human laws. But the people of YHVH should in no way do such an error. Can we determine if the biblical marriages arranged by Father YHVH, were strictly unions of couple. Did these biblical marriages need religious or civil ceremonies, wedding receptions, or the approval from the nation in a certificate of civil marriage? Is the marriage an institution of the only True Creator YHVH under His supreme authority or on the contrary, a human law under the exclusive control of nations? Some people speak about the brainwashing that we have all undergone in these last days by nations and even by so-called churches. What is it really? MARRIAGE WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE CREATOR YHVH IN THE BEGINNING Mark 10:6 "But from the beginning of the creation, Creator Father ‘made them male and female.’ 7 ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 ‘and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 "Therefore what El has joined together, let not man separate." Marriage is a physical and spiritual union between a man and a woman. It is a covenant, that is, an agreement between a man and a woman sanctioned by the 506
Creator YHVH. The first marriage was 'arranged' and established by the Father Creator YHVH between Adam and Eve. Genesis 2: 22 Then the rib which YHVH El had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23 And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. In fact, Father YHVH created the woman for Adam to be his partner and his assistant. That is the model of an ideal marriage that was given to us from the beginning. Genesis 2:18 And YHVH El said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." This covenant would allow the reproduction of humanity and as a matter of fact, the continuation of the human creation through the process of human procreation through Adam and Eve (See 5.6 Procreation). The planning of unions was also delegated to the biologic parents who could give their daughters and their sons in 'arranged' marriages. Marriage is thus under Father YHVH's authority, under His Laws which are clearly enumerated in the Bible. Marriage among the people of YHVH was never judged under human laws and traditions nor under secular governments in the past. Only recently, secular modern nations have taken control of marriage as all other human institutions, as we shall see. So, certain modern nations consider perfectly lawful marriages under the laws of Father YHVH as being illicit, degrading them as free unions, insinuating some illegality or nonconformity and even adultery and fornication. It is the modern world which is not in accordance with the laws of YHVH and not the opposite. The endorsement of this appropriation of authority by the false churches is revealing as to the corrupted nature of these associations. After Adam's initial generations, we have different wedding examples with our righteous biblical patriarches. These unions were agreed between men and women such as approved by Father YHVH according to the laws of Father YHVH. The laws of Father YHVH were verbally given from the beginning to Adam. They were confirmed afterward in writing to the chosen people through Moses. We shall see this aspect below. These laws of Father YHVH clarify different details concerning marriage, polygamy, divorce, etc. The law on marriage was established by the supreme authority of Father YHVH and nobody can modify this law. 507
Romans 7:2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. The specific law concerning marriage mentioned in Rom. 7:2 and everywhere in the Bible is the one which was given by Father YHVH through the intervention of His Angel and through the intervention of Moses at Sinai. Independently of the laws established by the different churches and by modern and former different governments, and independently of any human interpretations of any sources, the laws of Father YHVH remain the supreme guide of the elect, not only for marriage but also for all matters.
508
8.2.7.2 Divorce The laws of Father YHVH include divorce with its rules also. Divorce is not desirable nor applicable in all cases but it is necessary in certain cases. Regrettably, there are abuses by men and women who do not keep the laws of Father YHVH. According to these, the process is simple. The man has to write a letter of divorce or rejection to his wife and give it in her hand. This process is without appeal or contest and is subject to no human authority but is subject to the conditions of the laws of Father YHVH. Deuteronomy 24:1 “When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house, 2 and if she goes and becomes another man’s wife, The laws of Father YHVH have not been overruled by no one, not even by Yahushua. The modern nations certainly have taken control and they have done what they wanted or almost. Although divorce is allowed in the human laws, the complexity and the high costs become obstacles to the laws of Father YHVH by putting difficult conditions and even legal procedures for which people cannot sometimes pay the cost. The angel of YHVH himself had to divorce Israel because of her infidelities, such as prescribed by the laws of Father YHVH, by giving her a letter of divorce. Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. Hosea 2:2 “Plead with your mother, plead — for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband — that she put away her whoring from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts; The angel YHVH has confirmed himself the law of divorce by giving the letter of divorce such as prescribed by the laws of Father YHVH, the own laws which he gave to Israel! This confirmation of the law of Father YHVH for divorce is irrefutable. Besides, the words of Yahushua the Christ, give some precision onto the law of divorce: Matthew 5:31 It has been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce: 32 But I say to you, That 509
whoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery. Mark 10:11 And he said to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery. Obviously, messiah Yahushua cannot contradict the laws of Father YHVH nor modify them but in fact, he comes to clarify their application. It would then be necessary to understand that the cause of divorce concerns infidelity either physical, or spiritual. Divorce is allowed in these cases. The infidelity in question can obviously exceed the simple act of sexual infidelity. It can include the violent physical or psychological abuses which put in danger the life and peace of the spouse and\or of the children. Such a person cannot obviously be an elect of Father YHVH and consequently, such a one has certainly already committed the spiritual infidelity. However, divorce must never be done without serious consideration because Father YHVH El hates divorce. Divorce must not be made under futile excuses. Malachi 2:16 For YHVH, the El of Israel, said that he hates putting away: for one covers violence with his garment, said YHVH of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that you deal not treacherously. The divorce inevitably has to meet the criterion expressed by Yahushua, that is, infidelity, otherwise, it is not valid. All other cause of divorce would not be admitted nor accepted according to the laws of Father YHVH confirmed by Yahushua and could result in adultery. 1Corinthians 7:10 And to the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother has a wife that believes not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13 And the woman which has an husband that believes not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. Regrettably, as mentioned above, as the angel of YHVH had to do divorce 510
himself, situations force the elect to divorce in order to live in peace, to carry out the duty and their mission to the only True Creator YHVH and not participate in acts of idolatry. The elect may confront a spouse who is not favorable to living according to the laws of Father YHVH in peace and may commit physical adultery, or spiritual adultery with other gods. 1Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases: but Creator Father hath called us in peace. Besides, according to the laws of Father YHVH, the woman may also leave her husband, i.e. divorce, if he does not fill his obligations to her, to give her the food, garment and conjugal rights. The following verse also confirms the lawful polygamy for men. Exodus 21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. 11 And if he do not these three to her, then shall she go out free without money. Obviously, these rules of justice of Father YHVH may not inevitably be included in the human laws which control men and women in difficult legal traps. The human system of justice is not easily accessible and even less for those who have not sufficient finances to pay the expenses of the high costs. Thanks to the laws of Father YHVH, the elect may divorce without too many formalities. If an elect was married according to the human laws in past and if he has divorced his wife according to the laws of Father YHVH, it would be preferable to divorce her also according to the human laws, to eliminate any appearance of conflict. However, it is important to note that the laws of Father YHVH prevail over the human laws. Consequently, a man who has divorced his wife according to the laws of Father YHVH, is free to take another woman according to the laws of Father YHVH in an union (marriage), even if the civil divorce was not confirmed by the civil authorities yet.

8.2.7.3 Polygamy Polygamy in question here is the union of a man with several women as wives. Is polygamy a sin according to our Creator's law ? Since sin is the breaking of the law, where is polygamy prohibited or condemned in the Bible? No law can be found that prohibits polygamy but we have clear laws that prohibit adultery, stealing, killing, etc. It is the only manner in which a human act is determined to be good or bad. To say that polygamy is wrong only because men or women may say it is wrong or not acceptable, is against our Creator's law. We should be careful to not oppose or add to the law and then falsely accuse or impute the brethren of adultery. Indeed, adultery is strictly having sex with a married person where polygamy is not so. What we clearly find in the Bible, is that Father YHVH allowed and approved polygamy and His laws governed it. According to Wikipedia, in this world, polygamy is prohibited by human laws in 75% of the countries. Would it be surprising that 75% of the countries reject and oppose Father YHVH's laws? Abraham, Jacob, king David, king Salomon, Gedeon and many others were all polygamists as allowed and approved by Father YHVH. 2Samuel 5:13 And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David. 2Samuel 12:8 I gave you your master’s daughter and your master’s wives for yourself, and I gave you the daughters of Israel and Judah; and if that had not been enough, I would have given you such and such things. Judges 8:30 Now Gideon had seventy sons, his own offspring, for he had many wives. 31 And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he called his name Abimelech. In fact, we read the above verses that Father YHVH gave David his master's wives (plural)(Saul was dead), thus confirming the legality and His approval of polygamy. In the case of Solomon, some incorrectly use Solomon's personal failure to keep Father's laws as a proof of the wickedness of polygamy. 1Kings 11:1 Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites 3 He had seven hundred wives, daughters of kings, and three hundred other wives; and through his wives his heart was turned away. Solomon did not break the law by marrying many wives. He broke the law by taking strange (foreign) wives which is forbidden by law. Furthermore, Salomon 513
took too many wives and could not give them their conjugal rights imposed by the law. Deuteronomy 7:3 You shall not intermarry with them [pagan nations], giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, 4 for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of YHVH would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly. If polygamy was a sin, undoubtedly, Father Creator would not even have tolerated that kings of Israel practise polygamy nor would He establish his people Israel with Jacob and his 2 wives and 2 concubines. According to Yahushua, nor polygamy nor divorce was planned and established from the beginning with Adam and Eve. He clearly indicated that the ideal situation was/is one wife for one man like Adam and Eve. During all history, polygamy existed and was tolerated as with the patriarches. During Paul's time, no polygamist was allowed to serve the church as shown in the verses below. 1Timothy 3:2 The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher; 1Timothy 3:12 Let Deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their houses well. Titus 1:5 I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you; 6 Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled. However, if we understand the marriage of the lamb, the groom will be married to all his church, that is, to numerous saints. This would be a form of polygamy but in a spiritual way only. The parable of the 10 virgins clearly confirms polygamy for the returning messiah (see Matthew 25:1-12). According to Father YHVH's permission, a man may be justified to do so such as governed by the laws of Father YHVH. The following law clearly regulates polygamy and does not condemn it. Exodus 21:10 And if he takes another woman, her food and clothing and her married rights are not to be less. 11 And if he does not do these three things for her, she has the right to go free without payment. As Yahushua stated, the law has not changed. Marriage was monogamous in the 514
beginning and it should be recognized as the ideal situation but certainly not the only one. As followers of Yahushua, we should follow his instructions and practice monogamy as in the beginning of creation. Better even, we should remain celibate and consecrate our lives to serving Father YHVH in these last days. Yet, polygamy may still be tolerated in the law.
8.2.8 The 8th Commandment Exodus 20:15 You shall not steal. This command has numerous ramifications in the daily life. It concerns found objects or animals which must be returned to its owner. The following verses give several applications and the penaltys which may apply in certain cases. Leviticus 6:1 And YHVH said to Moses, 2 If anyone does wrong, and is untrue to YHVH, acting falsely to his neighbour in connection with something put in his care, or something given for a debt, or has taken away anything by force, or has been cruel to his neighbour, 3 Or has taken a false oath about the loss of something which he has come across by chance; if a man has done any of these evil things, 4 Causing sin to come on him, then he will have to give back the thing he took by force or got by cruel acts, or the goods which were put in his care or the thing he came on by chance, 5 Or anything about which he took a false oath; he will have to give it all back, with the addition of a fifth of its value, to him whose property it is, when he has been judged to be in the wrong. The fraud through lying is also an act of theft. Leviticus 19:11 Do not take anyone’s property or be false in act or word to another. 12 And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your El: I am YHVH. The common practice to hold back the salaries of the workers up until 2 weeks or even 1 month, is against the law of YHVH. Leviticus 19:13 Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant’s payment from him all night till the morning. The interdiction to steal concerns the weights and measures used in business. Leviticus 19:35 Do not make false decisions in questions of yard515
sticks and weights and measures. 36 Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am YHVH your God [Ulhim], who took you out of the land of Egypt; 37 You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am YHVH. Deuteronomy 25:13 Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small; 14 Or in your house different measures, a great and a small. 15 But have a true weight and a true measure: so that your life may be long in the land which YHVH your God [Ulhim] is giving you. 16 For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to YHVH your God [Ulhim]. In the case of theft of animals, the thief must restore up to 5 times what he stole. Exodus 22:1 If a man takes without right another man’s ox or his sheep, and puts it to death or gets a price for it, he is to give five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep, in payment: the thief will have to make payment for what he has taken; if he has no money, he himself will have to be exchanged for money, so that payment may be made. 2 If a thief is taken in the act of forcing his way into a house, and his death is caused by a blow, the owner of the house is not responsible for his blood. 3 But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible. 4 If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value. Exodus 22:9 In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value. The penalty could be the capital punishment. Exodus 21:16 And he that steals a man, and sells him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death. Money counterfeit is obviously a form of modern theft. It is exactly this kind of theft that the modern banking system is doing against all the users of the currency and the businesses. The effect of this theft is perceived as inflation which steals the purchasing power of all the inhabitants collectively and which weakens the nations.

8.2.9 The 9th Commandment Exodus 20:16 Do not give false witness against your neighbour. The messiah Yahushua was wrongly accused and was then killed on the tree. False witness causes serious damages against innocent people. Exodus 23:6 Let no wrong decisions be given in the poor man’s cause. 7 Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.
Leviticus 19:11 Do not take anyone’s property or be false in act or word to another. Leviticus 19:16 Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am YHVH. A single witness is not sufficient in accusing of any crime. Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness may not make a statement against a man in relation to any sin or wrongdoing which he has done: on the word of two or three witnesses a question is to be judged. 16 If a false witness makes a statement against a man, saying that he has done wrong, 17 Then the two men, between whom the argument has taken place, are to come before YHVH, before the priests and judges who are then in power; 18 And the judges will have the question looked into with care: and if the witness is seen to be false and to have made a false statement against his brother, 19 Then do to him what it was his purpose to do to his brother: and so put away the evil from among you. This command forces no one to reveal information which would be considered as confidential or for other personal reasons. Thus, nobody is forced to testify against whosoever and especially in the cases of human laws and traditions. We thus have the right to remain silent, which is not against the command. That is why even the fundamental right of an accused person is to remain silent.

8.2.10 The 10th Commandment Exodus 20:17 Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour’s house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his. This command concerns the desires of the heart which direct the behavior of men. It demands that each individual be satisfied with his personal properties and circumstances without wishing to possess what the others possess. Any breech against this command could cause a breech against the 8 th command ' you shall not steal '. Luke 3:14 And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you. Hebrews 13:5 Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times. Luke 12:15 And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man’s life is not made up of the number of things which he has.

8.3 The Sacrificial Laws The sacrificial laws were temporarily added to the permanent laws contained in the essential doctrines (see 3.1 The Essential Doctrines). Hebrew 9:26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. The sacrifices of animals are thus replaced by a single sacrifice, that of Yahushua, which is sufficient to erase all sins. An important part of the Old Testament is concerned with the sacrifices of animals. We shall omit here the details of these sacrifices which were commanded each day, every Sabbath days, intercalary days called new moons and annual solemnities. These sacrifices were done to pay for the sins of the people continually. Apparently, these sacrifices could not erase the sins definitively. They had to be continually made. Hebrew 10:11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. The sacrifices of animals were not a part of the 10 commands but were part only of the sacrificial laws. Being completely different from the 10 commandments, these sacrifices were later added because of the sins. These sacrifices were a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice of messiah Yahushua. So, when Yahushua was killed according to the prescriptions of the Passover from the Bible, he satisfied the requirement of the payment by the blood (see 8.3.1 Redemption). Hebrew 9:22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. In contrast to the animals, Yahushua was the perfect sacrifice which was acceptable to Father Creator to erase all sins once for all (see 10.3 Passover). Hebrew 7:25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to Father Creatorhrough him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. 26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. Since the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, the sacrifices of animals with the system of levitical priesthood has ceased. All prescriptions 520
concerning the animal sacrifices and Passover are non applicable and must not be observed in the new covenant. Father Creator has replaced the levitical priesthood with the priesthood according to the order of Melchisedek during the current era. There are thus no more sacrifices of animals until Yahushua's reign during the millenium. At that time, Yahushua will establish all things in truth. As an extension of his body in replacement of the animal sacrifices during the present age, the elect offer their lives as living sacrifices. Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of Father Creator, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Father Creator, which is your spiritual worship That is the change in the law which is mentioned in the new testament and not the abolition of 10 commandments. If the 10 commandments were abolished, there would no more sin because sin is the transgression of the law. 1John 3:4 Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. If there was no more sin, there would be no more justice for those who do evil, who kill, who steal, etc. Thus, only the sacrificial laws of animals have ceased during the present age.
8.3.1 Redemption What is redemption ? When we look through out the Bible, we find that the redemption process was a legal application that was used to buy back a property that was lost through unfortunate circumstances. This legal precept was established in YHVH's laws for the benefit of the original owner of some property from his inheritance. Land redemption allowed the original owner or his close kinsman to buy back or recover the lost property when it had fallen into other hands. Redemption is a very important concept that we find in regard to the preservation of an inheritance. Most occurrences of this concept are strictly commercial and legal applications in regard to land. In fact, this concept was included in YHVH's laws to preserve the original allocation of the lands to the 12 tribes. All the land was distributed by lot to the 12 tribes of Israel as a permanent allocation and inheritance. 521
Numbers 26:55 "But the land shall be divided by lot; they shall inherit according to the names of the tribes of their fathers. Joshua 11:23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that YHVH said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war. In fact, the land belonged to YHVH and the land could be enjoyed for the benefits it would bring to those who lived on it.
Leviticus 25:23 ‘The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me. 24 ‘And in all the land of your possession you shall grant redemption of the land. In his wisdom, Father YHVH had foreseen that some individuals or families would come to lose their land through adverse circumstances and would be forced to sell it to others to survive. The law specifically allowed a near kinsman to redeem the land, i.e to buy back the property to return it to its original owner.
Leviticus 25:25 ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what his brother sold. In this manner, the property remained in the same families as a permanent inheritance.
Furthermore, the redemption concept was applicable to living beings also. In particular, the first born of man and animals belong to Father YHVH and had to be redeemed.
Exodus 13:2 "Consecrate to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine."
Exodus 13:13 "But every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. 522
When we look further in regard to human redemption, we find the first biblical occurrence in regard to Jacob when he was blessing Joseph's 2 sons.
Genesis 48:16 The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads; Let my name be named upon them, And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; And let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."
Later, we have confirmation that all Israel as a great nation was also redeemed.
Isaiah 63:8 For He said, "Surely they are My people, Children who will not lie." So He became their Savior. 9 In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the Angel of His Presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them All the days of old.
This redemption was thus promised for a special people as the great Israel. Then we find that redemption of men simply was a means of salvation in the new covenant.
1John 4:9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that Father Creatoras sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved our Creator Father YHVH, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Matthew 1:21 "And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name [Yahushua], for He will save His people from their sins." Many biblical verses confirm this redeeming process that was done through the giving of Yahushua's life as an atoning sacrifice of great value.
1Corinthians 6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify Creator Father in your body and in your spirit, which are Creator Father’s. 1Corinthians 7:22 For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is 523
the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ’s slave. 23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. In this modern world under Satan's rule, the banksters have managed to steal most of the properties and inheritance from the people and the nations. Father YHVH's people have also been subject to the oppression and destruction from Satan and from his disciples. In fact, Father YHVH's laws of redemption of the lands and the proclamation of liberty at the Jubilee have been totally rejected or ignored under these modern human laws and traditions, contrary to YHVH's laws.
Yet there is a redemption process which has been implemented in the lives of the elect, the chosen people of Father YHVH. This process is actually unseen by most of humanity which is kept in darkness concerning the redemption laws. From the beginning of creation, Father YHVH has been setting aside men and women for His purpose as we have seen in the tanakh, starting from the patriarch Abraham.
Genesis 26:24 And YHVH appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the El of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for My servant Abraham’s sake." For Abraham's sake, YHVH has set apart Israel and its descendants.
Leviticus 20:26 ‘And you shall be holy to Me, for I YHVH am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine. This is confirmed in the new covenant to those who would be the chosen as elect from Yahushua's sacrifice.
1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light; It is clearly confirmed as a redemption act, in accordance to the legal application set down in the tanakh. In particular, from Yahushua's advent as the pascal lamb, Father YHVH has been setting aside a great multitude to live in His Kingdom on earth. These people were redeemed by the atoning sacrifice of Yahushua.
524
Titus 2:13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great Creator Father YHVH and our Savior Yahushua messiah, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. In the new covenant, redemption is at the heart of the plan of salvation. It is a merciful act from our loving Father YHVH. Thus those individuals belong to Father YHVH as a redemption deal. In particular, 144000 individuals have been clearly redeemed from humanity to follow the lamb on Mount Zion.
Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.... 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being first-fruits to Creator Father and to the Lamb. This loving act from Father YHVH is the ultimate redemption of all humanity. No man could save himself or pay his own ransom and so our Creator Father YHVH prepared a plan by which He would redeem His creation through an act of love.
Jeremiah 10:23 O YHVH, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. This redeeming act was demonstrated by the son Yahushua who was sent for that purpose. There is no greater love than to give one's life for his friends.
John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. This great love was in the son who received it from his Father YHVH. This sacrifice of a perfect human life, as a perfect lamb, was the acceptable price to redeem all humanity. Father YHVH evaluated the price and He sent His only begotten son to die as a ransom, to pay, i.e. to redeem all His children. But redemption is not limited to the elect since our Creator Father YHVH wishes that all may come to repentance and be saved, since the ransom has already been paid for all.
525
2Peter 3:9 The Lord [Father YHVH] is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Redemption was thus accomplished by the One who had the power and the means to pay the price. Father YHVH has paid the price with the life of His son as the perfect lamb and He is proceeding with His plan to set up His kingdom on earth by removing all rebels and the chief of them Satan and resurrecting the saints. Until that important event has been achevied, we are waiting for our final delivrance as a redeemed people, made ready to take part in the millenium reign with messiah Yahushua.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of Creator Father and of messiah Yahushua, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
8.3.2 The Number of Animal Sacrifices The table below shows the number of animal sacrifices which were commanded for each day of the year and for the different solemn days. This table also shows the relative importance of each solemn day with the weekly Sabbath day according to the number of sacrifices. The number is also representative of the level of activities for each day dedicated to worship not only by the priesthood but also by the people who brought these sacrifices to the priesthood. We could then consider the amount of time taken by the people in these activities would prove the setting apart of these days as a day of rest or at least as a day of cessation of servile works (see 10.13.1 Requirements). The different animal sacrifices which were made for non regular specific events are not included here below. Among others, the Bible confirms the holding of a holy convocation in each of the solemn days and on the day of weekly Sabbath, including the day of the intercalary day called new moon in the modern translations.
8.3.3 Atonement or Cleansing? There is a biblical concept which is hidden behind incorrect translations and behind incorrect interpretations (see 2.2 Translations). In particular, the slaughter of goats is translated and interpreted as an atoning sacrifice but which it is not. The fundamental problem comes from the translation of the word 02403 chatta’ ah (khat-taw-aw ’) or chatta' th (khat-tawth ’). 526
This problem can be revealed at first from the modern translations which translate the same word 02403 sometimes by sin and sometimes by sin-offering or atoning sacrifice. By examining the original texts with the Strong numbers, the word sacrifice is clearly absent. We would normally ignore the problem of translation if we did not have the Septuagint to compare.
In this particular case, the problem of translation in question is clearly confirmed with the translation of the Septuagint which differs and which reveals quite another interpretation.
At first, on a total of 272 cases in the modern translations, the word 02403 is simply translated 167 times by the word sin. The problem is similar to the word ereb 06153 which is often incorrectly translated and which leads the readers in error (see 2.6.14 Exodus 12:6). To demonstrate and prove the problem, some verses are enumerated below and compared between a modern version (AV) and an English translation of the French translation of the Greek Septuagint (P. Giguet 1865). The contrast between 2 should be sufficient to make all understand the error which is inferred with the word 02403. The English translation of the Septuagint is apparently identical to the modern versions and is not useful in this comparison.
AV: Exodus 29:14 But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering <02403>. Septuagint: Exodus 29:14 But the flesh of the calf, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp; for it is an offering on account of sin.
In the AV version above as in the other modern versions, the expression sinoffering is translated from the word 02403 while the word sacrifice or sinoffering is absent in the original text. Note that the English transationof the Greek text has added the words offering on account in italics. Why did they introduce the word sacrifice or offering when this word sacrifice or offering is absent such as translated in the Septuagint? Did the translators simply add the word sacrifice or offering according to their doubtful understanding of the text? In the modern AV version, we still find the same translation with the addition of the word sacrifice or offering which is absent in the original text. The 527
interpretation is certainly different in the Septuagint.
AV: Numbers 7:16 One kid of the goats for a sin offering < 02403 >; The translation of the above verse should be consistent with the other 167 translations as follows :
Numbers 7:16 One kid of the goats for sin AV: Leviticus 16:5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin-offering <02403>, and one lamb for a whole-burnt-offering. Septuagint: Leviticus 16:5 And it will be given, by the synagogue of the sons of Israel, two young goats, taken among goats, for sin, and a ram for the holocaust.
Still, the AV version above adds the word offering which is absent in the original text and leads the reader in error. Several verifications of the occurrences of the word 02403 in the modern versions confirm the same errors consistently. The slaughter of goats was not an atoning sacrifice but rather an elimination by fire. This total destruction of the goat had rather the purpose of cleansing the people by eliminating the sin in the form of a goat.
The error is particularly consequent in the ritual of the Day of Atonement. By translating incorrectly and by introducing the word sacrifice or offering, the readers are led to confuse a sinner goat with the perfect lamb of Passover (Yahushua). In the Day of Atonement, the goat is killed because it represents sin. In a process of cleansing, the goat is completely burnt to be removed from the people. A part of the goat is burned on the altar whereas the unclean parts (excrements) are burned outside the camp. In contrast to the atoning lamb of Passover which is eaten, the goat is completely burnt.
A real goat which would be sent alive in the wilderness would be in theory condemned to starve to death. However, in this ritual, the live goat represents Satan and the Bible reveals to us that he will survive his 1000 years imprisonnement to tempt again humanity. His fate is also revealed by the Bible: he will also be destroyed by fire just like the other goat of the Day of Atonement. 528
The 2 goats in that ritual represented sin and the 2 will be destroyed by fire and not be offered as an atoning sacrifice or offering on the Day of Atonement as the lamb of the Passover.

Our 529
Creator Father YHVH has specified to us which animals are allowed for human consumption (Lev. 11:1-47). These laws are intended for all human beings without respect to religion but simply for the purpose of health and ecological balance. Certain animals strictly have a role of cleaning the environment and not for human food. For example, meats such as swine are forbidden by our Creator Father YHVH. Why do we refuse to obey His perfect laws? The food laws are always the same since Father YHVH gave them in the old testament. Leviticus 11:47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean and between the living creature that may be eaten and the living creature that may not be eaten. Those who do not make a distinction between the clean and the unclean are judged as sinners. Ezekiel 22:26 Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they have disregarded my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. Ezekiel 44:23 They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to distinguish between the unclean and the clean. This law is addressed not only to Israelites but to all. That is why it is forbidden to eat animals of scavenger type such as the swine, the shrimp, the frog, the eagle, the rabbit, the fishes without scales, etc. It is a question of physical health and spiritual health. We can believe who we want and eat what we want but we shall reap the physical and spiritual consequences. Leviticus 20:25 You shall therefore separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the unclean bird from the clean. You shall not make yourselves detestable by beast or by bird or by anything with which the ground crawls, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean. Besides, it is allowed to eat clean meats but it is by no means compulsory to eat fleash during the current times. Vegetarianism is a possible alternative thanks to the knowledge of any supplements which would be required (see 8.4.2 Vegetarianism). In the same way that we must know the difference between the clean foods and the unclean foods, we must also know the difference between the clean doctrines and the unclean doctrines (false). Ezekiel 44:23 They shall teach my people the difference between 530
the holy and the common, and show them how to distinguish between the unclean and the clean. Matthew 16:6 Jesus [Yahushua] said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. The consumption of swine flesh was clearly condemned in the old testament will by the angel of YHVH. Isaiah 65:2
I spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious
people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices; 3
a
people
who
provoke
me to
my
face
continually, sacrificing in gardens and making offerings on bricks; 4 who sit in tombs, and spend the night in secret places; who eat pig’s flesh, and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels; In spite of the false interpretations by the rebels who eat all that is unclean, Peter confirmed that he had eaten nothing unclean, according to the law which was always in effect after Yahushua's direct teachings to his disciples. Acts 10:14 But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
531
8.4.1 Clean and Unclean Animals Here is a list of the clean animals to eat and unclean animals not to eat. Generally, unclean animals are animals which are like scavengers because they eat the waste in the environment from human activities. Here are the main rules. Leviticus 11:1 And YHVH spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat. 4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you. Here is the list of the specific animals. Levitcus 11:5 And the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. 6 And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. 7 And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. 8 You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you. 9 “These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. 10 But anything in the seas or the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is detestable to you. 11 You shall regard them as detestable; you shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses. 12 Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is detestable to you. 13 “And these you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten; they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture, 14 the kite, the falcon of any kind, 15 every raven of any kind, 16 the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk of any kind, 17 the little owl, the cormorant, the short-eared owl, 18 the barn owl, the tawny owl, the carrion vulture, 19 the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat. 20 “All winged insects that go on all fours are detestable to you. 21 Yet among the winged insects that go on all fours you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which to hop on the ground. 22 Of them you may eat: the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any 532
kind, and the grasshopper of any kind. 23 But all other winged insects that have four feet are detestable to you. 24 “And by these you shall become unclean. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening, 25 and whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. 26 Every animal that parts the hoof but is not clovenfooted or does not chew the cud is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean. 27 And all that walk on their paws, among the animals that go on all fours, are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening, 28 and he who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you. 29 “And these are unclean to you among the swarming things that swarm on the ground: the mole rat, the mouse, the great lizard of any kind, 30 the gecko, the monitor lizard, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon. 31 These are unclean to you among all that swarm. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.

8.4.2 Vegetarism Vegetarianism is defined as consumption of vegetables which excludes animal meat and fish but may include certain products of animal origin as the milk, the cheese, etc. Veganism is stricter than the vegetarianism and excludes all the products of animal origin as milk and cheese. The common point in cause is the abstinence of the animal meat or other meat. Certain individuals went so far as to accuse proponents of vegetarianism of praticing doctrines of demons. By examining closer the Bible, it is clear that veganism was a part of the life of Adam and of Eve at the beginning. To say that they practiced doctrines of demons is simply insane. Genesis 2:8 And YHVH Ulhim planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground made YHVH Ulhim to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:16 And YHVH Ulhim commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: In the garden, there were apparently enough vegetables to feed human beings. We learn only after the fall of Adam and Eve that they could eat certain meats. Later, it is evident that the people ate meat. In particular, the Israelites were even commanded to kill a lamb at Passover every year and to eat it during the night of the 15th day of the 1st month. The food Laws define clearly which animals are fit for human consumption. However, these laws do not impose on anyone to eat meat. On the contrary, we find biblical verses which evoke the possibility of not eating meat. Romans 14:21 It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble. Even the consumption of lamb was not strictly compulsory for salvation in the old covenant. It is still not in the new covenant where we consume some bread and some wine as a symbol for the body and the blood of Yahushua, the Passover lamb. As regards the wine, the small quantity is compulsory once a year for Yahushua's Passover (see 10.3.4). It is not a sin to eat clean meats nor to refrain from it completely. 534
Some people say that there is possibly some caution to be taken by those who eat no meat with regard to vitamin B12. This is a very different situation which is far from a doctrine of demons. Those who dare to accuse brothers of doctrines of demons because of veganism would be better to repent in my opinion. With the contamination of meats occuring during recent years, we can easily understand vegatarianism as a reasonable option. During the millennium, there are certainly indications that some meat will be consumed but it has nothing to do with doctrines of demons. We read that even the lion will not eat meat anymore. Isaiah 11:7 The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,” says YHVH. We also have another example concerning the consumption of wine. These people were not condemned by Father YHVH. On the contrary, they were rewarded for their obedience to their own father. Jeremiah 35:6 But they answered, “We will drink no wine, for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, ‘You shall not drink wine, neither you nor your sons forever. 7 You shall not build a house; you shall not sow seed; you shall not plant or have a vineyard; but you shall live in tents all your days, that you may live many days in the land where you sojourn.’ 8 We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, ourselves, our wives, our sons, or our daughters, Jeremiah 35:18 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith YHVH of hosts, the Father Creatorf Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he commanded you; 19 therefore thus saith YHVH of hosts, the Father Creatorf Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever. On the other hand, those who eat clean meats according to the laws of Father 535
YHVH, should not be accused either by the vegetarians. When Yahushua will reign on earth, there will not be confusion anymore nor of pollution which could affect negatively the consumption of meats and\or quite other food as at present.
536
8.4.3 Expiration Delay In our modern world, several manufactured products show an expiration date which is a limit to the guarantee of freshness of the product. The consumption of the product is not recommended after this date. . It is evident that any living organism is subjected to death and transformation of which is corruption. This process is evident also for animal flesh which must be consumed as soon as possible after its slaughter. The Bible also gives us a limit of expiration for the consumption of the animal flesh after its slaughter.
Leviticus 7:15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning. 16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow offering or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten. 17 But what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned up with fire. 18 If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten on the third day, he who offers it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be credited to him. It is tainted, and he who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
According to these verses, the meat from sacrifices must not be eaten 2-3 days after its slaughter. These rules, as the rest of the laws of the Father Creator, were not negotiable. These limits between 1 and 2 days seem to match and to respect the delay of 3 days and 3 nights after which the corruption of the flesh begins (see 5.14.1 Hades). The speed of the natural process of corruption can obviously vary according to the temperature and the surrounding conditions. Were these rules concerning the meat of the sacrifices only physical due to the process of corruption? Did they apply only to the meat of the sacrifices or to all meat? Would there be some spiritual or other aspect which escapes us and which would still be in effect for all the animal meat which we consume and which is excluded from any sacrifices? Today, we may consume meat which comes from commercial butchering and slaughtering plants whose practices do not certainly respect the rules commanded by the Father Creator. In fact, the number of days following the slaughter is for all practical purposes unknown to the consumer in spite of human rules which are not strictly followed. We have seen the inaptitude of companies 537
to respect adequately the most fundamental rules and the recalls of enormous quantities of meat unfit for human consumption. Some companies have even been caught selling some horse meat which was labelled as beef ! It remains to each individual to consume some meat according to his conscience and according to the confidence which he gives to the modern slaughtering and butchering plants. That is why vegetarianism would be justified because of the mediocre reliability of the modern plants.
8.4.4 Interdictions Besides the basic food laws, there are in the Bible particular interdictions with regard to the consumption of meat. 1) Among others, there is an interdiction to consume blood and animal fat. Leviticus 3:17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that you eat neither fat nor blood. Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that you eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and you may not eat the life with the flesh. In fact, it is clearly commanded what they had to do with the blood and the fat of the animal sacrifices. Leviticus 7:33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part. Leviticus 17:6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of YHVH at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet smell to YHVH. Numbers 18:17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy: you shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to YHVH. The blood had to be poured on the altar or the ground and the fat had to be burnt. On this subject, it is important to be aware of certain practices of commercial butchers which have been publicly denounced. To improve the appearance of the minced meat or to prolong its conservation, a quantity of fresh blood is added. In that case, the consumer is not informed of the presence of blood which he will 538
consume with the meat. Furthermore, the greediness and the total lack of decency of certain companies has reached utterly inconceivable levels because they have sold horse meat identified as beef meat! Also, we must be aware of the consumption of the hunted wild animals. Indeed, it is important that these animals be killed with the emptying of their blood because it is forbiden to eat the animal with its blood. The wild animals killed with a rifle are not always bled and would not be fit for human consumption, at least by the obedient elect. Furthermore, to increase the profits of these butcher's shops, a quantity of fat is added to the minced meat. So, they can identify their meat as being lean or semi-lean according to the added quantity of fat. 2) It is forbidden to boil a kid in the milk of its mother. Exodus 23:19 “The best of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of YHVH your El. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. Exodus 34:26 The best of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of YHVH your El. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.” Deuteronomy 14:21 “You shall not eat anything that has died naturally. You may give it to the sojourner who is within your towns, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a people holy to YHVH your El. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. 3) As quoted in verse 21 above, it is forbidden to eat animals found dead. Obviously, the animal may have died from a disease. Furthermore, we do not know exactly the moment of its death nor thus the progress of the corruption of the flesh. If foreigners can eat it, it is clearly forbidden to the people of YHVH whom he sanctifies. 4) There is a restriction on wine (thus of alcohol) for the elect (see 8.4.5 Alcohol).

8.4.5 Wine and Alcohol Herein, a relatively different concept will be examined in regard to an abstinence of wine and/or alcohol for the elect in the new covenant during the current age. Out of necessity of logic and coherence, all the prescriptions and the mentions of wine also include all alcohol and alcoholic breuvages. There is a real indication that the new wine mentioned in the Bible is in fact the juice from freshly pressed grapes. In this case, this new wine contains no alcohol because the natural sugar did not yet ferment to form alcohol. Mark 2:21 No one sews piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins; but new wine is for fresh skins." According to certain experts, the natural fermentation of such grape juice would form between 1 and 3 % of alcohol, no more. Today, the addition of sugar and the distillation allows to reach a higher alcohol content. Also, it is known that the ancient peoples had methods to preserve the grape juice while preventing its fermentation. Among others, it was cooked to produce a tick sirup which was kept for futur use. Cooking could kill the microorganisms responsible of fermentation. So it was simply required later to add water to produce a non fermented wine. There are in the Bible many verses which warn us against the consumption of wine and alcohol. Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise. Proverbs 21:17 Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich. Proverbs 23:30 Those who tarry long over wine; those who go to try mixed wine. Proverbs 23:31 Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. Proverbs 31:6 Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; Isaiah 5:11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening as wine inflames them! 541
The word wine is translated from 2 Hebrew words: 03196 yayin et 08492 tirosh. This later is often translated by new wine and would not have alcohol, being freshly pressed from the grapes. We may also consider this possibility that the new wine given as an offering, did not contain alcohol. We will examine in the Bible several situations where wine was strongly recommended and others where wine was strictly forbidden by Father Creator's law and others where wine and alcohol was completely removed from the people. The vow of a nazarite included the abstinence of fresh grapes and dry grapes. Numbers 6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD: 3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. In the cases of women who would give birth to certain elect, total abstinence of wine and alcohol was justified and even commanded. Judges 13:7 but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son (Samson). So then drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to El from the womb to the day of his death.’ ” 1 Samuel 1:15 But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before YHVH. In the case of Hannah who was sterile, we read that she received the privilege of giving birth to a son (Samuel) whom she would dedicate in the service of the temple from his childhood. According to the same principle applied to the mother of Samson, the abstinence of alcohol prefigured the presence of a chosen child for the service to the Father Creator YHVH. Although the Bible does not mention this abstinence of alcohol by Elisabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, we can easily imagine that this principle was applied to Elisabeth, in particular, because John would not consume himself wine nor alcohol all his life. This principle is even more plausible from the fact that John would be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb. Luke 1:13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be great before the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH]. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy 542
Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. By law, the priests had a formal interdiction to consume wine and any alcohol when they entered the inner court of the temple. Ezekiel 44:21 No priest shall drink wine [03196 yayin] when he enters the inner court. As the elect possessing the Holy Spirit, the entry is now open through Yahushua's blood into the inner court, the holy of holies. Hebrew 9:3 Behind the second curtain was a second section called the Most Holy Place,... 8 By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing.... 19 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God [Father Creator YHVH] commanded for you.” Hebrew 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. In contrast to the levitical priest who entered only once a year, we enter permanently and continually in the holy of holies through Yahushua, our high priest. According to the priesthood of Melchisedek, we have access permanently to the temple because we are the temple if we possess the Holy Spirit. We are thus subject to the same rule of the levitical priest who had to avoid all alcohol in the holy of holies. Thus, as an elect, we would not consume alcohol until the day when we shall drink it with Yahushua, our perfect example to imitate in all things. Indeed, Yahushua prophetised that he would not consume wine thus no alcohol until he will drink it on earth with his disciples in the Kingdom of his Father YHVH. Matthew 26:29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” It is important to note that Yahushua specifically used the term fruit of the vine and the not wine. As confirmed in the following verses, Yahushua is the vine from which we receive the good fresh fruit without bacteria nor fermentation, thus, not alcoholic. John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.... 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart 543
from me you can do nothing. Thus, on the stake, Yahushua refused to drink wine as he had prophetised. Matthew 27:34 they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. The elect form on this earth the body and the members of Yahushua. Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 1Corinthians 12:20 But now they are many members, but one body. Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Given that the head (Yahushua) abstains from alcohol, is it not logical that in his body on earth (the elect) abstain also ? As a consequence, would it not be coherent that the abstinence of wine and alcohol be in effect for the elect on earth just like Yahushua in heaven until the establishment on earth of Father Creator's Kingdom? At that time, we will drink wine with Yahushua as he prophetised. The only commanded exception is a very small consumption of non alcoholic grape juice at the annual ceremony of Passover, as a symbol of the blood of Yahushua, until he returns. Apparently, this abstinence of wine was decreed at the moment Yahushua pronounced the prophecy quoted in verse 29 above. Yet, we must also consider the possibility that this abstinence by Yahushua began at his baptism at the instant he received the Holy Spirit. As much as the Bible confirms that Yahushua has drunk wine before, we don't find clear confirmation that he drank wine after his baptism. The fact that he changed water into wine simply confirms that he approved the consomption of wine at the alloted time for those who did not have the Holy Spirit. Moreover, the biblical texts do not confirm that Yahushua drank any of the wine which he offered to his disciples as a symbol of his blood during the night of Passover on the 14th day of the 1st month. Yahushua had also prophetised a change in the behaviour of his disciples after his departure. Matthiew 9:14 Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 15 And Jesus [Yahushua] said to them, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. This prophecy of fasting (affliction) for the elect could very well include the 544
abstinence of wine (and alcohol). This fasting for the elect would be coherent with the concept of mourning and the ritual of Passover which is held in memory of the death of Yahushua until he returns. How can we reconcile the abstinence of wine with Biblical verses which practically commanded the people to consume wine and strong drinks at the commanded annual feasts and others which confirm the consumption of alcohol by some elect ? Deuteronomy 14:26 and spend the money for whatever you desire — oxen or sheep or wine [03196 yayin] or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before YHVH your El and rejoice, you and your household. According to a possible interpretation of the following verses, the men in charge of the people, the bishops, the deacons, etc. were apparently not submitted to a total abstinence but they were clearly not to be drunkard. On the other hand, was this a possible abstinence on their part? It is certainly possible since the requirements were more towards an abstinence than an unlimited drinking behaviour. 1 Timothy 3:2 Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.... 1 Timothy 3:8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not doubletongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. Titus 1:7 For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, In spite of the apparent meaning of these verses which seem to allow the consumption of wine, their possible interpretation does not exclude the complete abstinence of alcohol by the bishops and the deacons. Although wine is not mentionned as a sin in the Bible, abstinence is nevertheless recommanded or imposed on some individuals in certain cases. The following verse confirms that wine and alcohol were volontarily removed from the people by Father YHVH for a specific purpose when it was brought in the wilderness during 40 years. Deuteronomy 29:6 You have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know that I am YHVH your El. 545
Would it not be appropriate, useful and even necessary for the elect who desire to know the Father Creator be also submitted to this limitation of alcohol as being a people in a spiritual wilderness to come to know Him? In Revelation, we read that the woman will be taken to the wilderness during 1260 days or 3 and a half years? Revelation 12:6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by Creator Father, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days. Revelation 12:14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time. According to Revelation 12:5, this woman as the people of the man messiah Yahushua is an extension which includes a remnant of the physical congregation of Israel. A remnant has become the true church and the body of Yahushua. This church is mentioned in the last days when it will be taken to the wilderness not only to be protected but also to prepare her to meet her husband. Ezekiel 20:35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face. 36 As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares YHVH. 37 I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant. Just like the sacrifices of animals have ceased during this current era, also the drink offerings have ceased. The priesthood of Melchisedek is subject to the prescriptions of the new covenant whose high priest is Yahushua the perfect example to imitate. In the new covenant, the elect are made kings and priests for the Father Creator YHVH. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Revelation 5:10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our Creator Father, and they shall reign on the earth.” Not only the abstinence of wine is prophetised for the elect as priests during this current era, it is also foreseen for kings and princes, Proverbs 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to 546
drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink, Yahushua, king of kings on earth, refrains at present from drinking wine because he is at present standing in the holy of holies as high priest and as king of kings. The elect, as kings under the king Yahushua, must imitate him and refrain like him from wine. Here is an analogy to justify the consumption of wine in the world by the unfaithful. Are the following verses pointing to the practice of giving alcohol to the persons condemned to death before their execution? Proverbs 31:6 Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; Amos 2:8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god. Could we make an analogy between, on the one hand, the evil men of this world who drink wine and alcoholic breuvages and, on the other hand, the individuals condemned to death who are waiting for their execution? Indeed, the biblical prophecies are clear to show that the wicked who refused to submit to the heir son Yahushua will be executed after the return of Yahushua (see 11.5.12 Death Sentence). Obviously, this analogy may seem exaggerated but it would nevertheless be valid to distinguish the rich condemned individuals and the elect who are intended for immortality after the return to Yahushua (see 11.5.10 The 1st Resurrection). Paul seems to confirm this above principle by which we give wine (alcohol) to those who are perishing because he confirms that without the resurrection, we would be most desparate as those condemned to death who seek some means to reduce their distress before death. 1Corinthians 15:32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” The following verse mentions specifically the question of drink while nothing in Father Creator's law concerns any interdiction about drinking. Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon [intercalary day] or a Sabbath. According to this verse above, the elect already knew and should still know: 1) The food laws as to eat what is clean and to reject what is unclean (see 8.4) 2) The feasts or solemn days to keep according to the correct calendar (see 10.) 3) The observance of the intercalary days called new moons as a holy day (see 547
10.2) 4) All the Sabbath days to observe (see 10.1) It is thus acceptable that this specific mention of drink concerns a prescription which definitively sets apart the elect on the one hand, and the world, on the other hand. As a consequence, the abstinence of wine and/or alcohol in the new covenant clearly satisfies this setting apart from the rest of the world and from those who still keep the old covenant where it was allowed to drink wine. Can we perceive as being coherent, the fact that John the Baptist who had received the Holy Spirit, never drank wine and alcohol his entire life? Could we find the confirmation of this principle by the simultaneous presence of the Holy Spirit with the abstinence of alcohol in a man who was qualified as the greatest man born from a woman (John the Baptist). Luke 7:28 I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of Creator Father is greater than he.” Is this abstinence like marriage ? It is good to marry but is is better not to marry. 1Corinthians 7:26 I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is. Paul's mention of the present distress implies the spiritual war in place. Those who are on the spiritual front would be subjected to this abstinence whereas those who are in the back would not be forced to abstain. Some are called to refrain whereas others are not called. The rule of abstinence would be similar to the situation of the eunuches which requires discerment. Matthew 19:12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.” In conclusion, this rule of abstinence of alcohol is still in effect for the set apart elect among all the nations, i.e. all those who possess the Holy Spirit who are called to this abstinence. As all Father Creator's laws and rules, the elect will act according to their calling and their renewed spirit in the light of the Holy Spirit. Thus this rule is not imposed on all the elect. This abstinence is not imposed on the world at large but only to the elect who continue to grow in Truth and grace. Among the elect, a spiritual maturity and discernment are required to receive this new rule. Luke 5:37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh 548
wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’ ” Yahushua mentioned several times that certain sayings would be too difficult for some, like the situation of the eunuches, marriage, etc. Symbolically, the new knowledge would be as the new wine. Those who are renewed by the Holy Spirit can receive the new knowledge as new wineskins can receive the new wine. The old wineskin (the carnal man) cannot receive the new wine (the Truth) because he cannot (see 5.). Obviously, such an abstinence may seem really excessive and contradictory in the eyes of the world and even of the so-called Christians who reject obedience. That is why the elect who refrain from drinking wine and alcohol would be negatively judged. Thus, they received words of comfort from Paul in the verse of Colossians 2:17. Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of drink. Furthermore, does drinking alcohol make a man any more nearer to the Truth or in better possession of the Holy Spirit? The answer should be obvious to the elect : we do not alcohol at all. In summary, the abstinence of wine and alcohol by the elect is recommended for the following reasons: 1) The elect imitate their master Yahushua who does not drink wine until the establishment on earth of the Kingdom of his Father Creator 2) Yahushua (the head) does not drink at present wine nor alcohol, his body (the elect) should not consume it either. 3) The elect who try to know the Father Creator refrain from wine/alcohol as the people in the wilderness. 4) Having access to the holy of the holies, the elect as the priests are subject to total abstinence of alcohol according to the law of the sanctuary. 5) As active soldiers in the spiritual war, the elect should not allow to reduce their capacities and their level of consciousness by alcohol consumption. 6) As John the Baptist who had the Holy Spirit, refrained completely from alcohol all his life, the elect, as Yahushua, should also refrain with the presence of the Holy Spirit in them. Furthermore, according to this new revelation and contrary to human traditions, the fruit of the vine taken at Yahushua's Passover may be non alcoholic.
549
8.4.6 Fasting Fasting is mentioned several times in the Bible. We read that holy men such as Moses, Daniel, Yahushua, the apostles, have fasted. Apparently, fasting is not always a complete abstinence of food and water but sometimes only an abstinence of food. The following verse demonstrates clearly that in his fasting for 40 days, Yahushua had refrained from food only and not from water. Matthew 4:Matthew 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you be the Son of God [Father Creator YHVH], command that these stones be made bread Indeed, the tempter would certainly have suggested to Yahushua something to drink instead of food. It is scientifically recognized that the complete abstinence of food and water beyond a certain number of days can cause serious physiological damages and even death. The fast is also recognized by many health experts as being very useful and effective in the preservation of health. This subject will be examined in more details soon.
8.4.7 Water Water is an essential element to life on the planet. Water is also represented in the Bible as a fondamental element in regard to salvation. John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Water is universally recognized as an essential daily cleansing element. There is a minimum amount of water that every living being on earth should intake. We will develop this subject further in the future.
550
8.5 Personal Laws This section includes a few laws which concern personal elements not covered explicitly in the 10 commandments and the other laws.
8.5.1 The Firstborn There is a particular law concerning the first son begotten by a man if he has several wives. In the allocation of the inheritance, the first-born of the man will receive a double portion. Deuteronomy 21:15 If a man has two wives, one greatly loved and the other hated, and the two of them have had children by him; and if the first son is the child of the hated wife: 16 Then when he gives his property to his sons for their heritage, he is not to put the son of his loved one in the place of the first son, the son of the hated wife: 17 But he is to give his first son his birthright, and twice as great a part of his property: for he is the first-fruits of his strength and the right of the first son is his. We must distinguish the first born of a woman, the child who opens the matrix. Exodus 13:2 “Consecrate to me all the firstborn. Whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast, is mine.” So, the first-born belongs to Father Creator because of the deliverance of Egypt. Exodus 13:11 “When YHVH brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and your fathers, and shall give it to you, 12 you shall set apart to YHVH all that first opens the womb. All the firstborn of your animals that are males shall be YHVH’s. 13 Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. Every firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. 14 And when in time to come your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you shall say to him, ‘By a strong hand YHVH brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery. 15 For when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, YHVH killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of animals. 551
Therefore I sacrifice to YHVH all the males that first open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’ Furthermore, the first-born receives the birthright unless there is an exception such as Esau who sold his right for a bowl of soup. The birthright apparently allows a superior authority as a family patriarch or a leader of the tribe Yahushua is entitled to the birthright on all the creation as the first-born of the Father Creator YHVH.
8.5.2 Circumcision Circumcision in the flesh for all males was established as a sign of the covenant between Father YHVH and Abraham and all his descendants. Genesis 17:12 Every male among you, from one generation to another, is to undergo circumcision when he is eight days old, with every servant whose birth takes place in your house, or for whom you gave money to someone of another country, and not of your seed. 13 He who comes to birth in your house and he who is made yours for a price, all are to undergo circumcision; so that my agreement may be marked in your flesh, an agreement for all time. 14 And any male who does not undergo circumcision will be cut off from his people: my agreement has been broken by him. Circumcision in the flesh for men was the condition to be a part of the old covenant of Father YHVH. That is why circumcision in the flesh of all the male children was required to take the Passover in Egypt. Thus, all the Israelites kept the Passover and received the protection of the blood of the lamb, both the children and the adults (see 10.3 Passover). According to the old covenant, the laws of Father YHVH were formerly written on tables of stones but in the new covenant, these laws must now be written in the hearts. Hebrews 8:10 For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their El, and they will be my people: Now, in the New covenant, the hearts must be circumcised and not only the flesh. In fact, Paul confirms for the men who accept as adults the true faith, that 552
it is not required to be circumcised in the flesh if they are not already. Instead, the new disciples are circumcised in the heart. Paul insists that the late circumcision of adult men is not required for salvation. 1Corinthians 7:18 If any man who is a Christian has had circumcision, let him keep so; and if any man who is a Christian has not had circumcision, let him make no change. However, the law is clear that the male children must be circumcised on the 8th day. The law was not abolished and must be observed as being good and useful. Romans 7:12 But the law is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good. Leviticus 12:2 Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell. 3 And on the eighth day let him be given circumcision. Still, our perfect example Yahushua was circumcised according to the Law and we should imitate him with our male children. Luke 2:21 And when, after eight days, the time came for his circumcision, he was named Yahushua, the name which the angel had given to him before his birth. Clearly, circumcision is not according to our tastes and personal choices but according to a law which we must choose to obey for our male children. If Yahushua was Jewish, he is also the leader of the true Christians and the perfect example. That is why, in the future generations, all the male children will be circumcised. That is why all those who will enter the temple during the millenary reign of Yahushua, will be circumcised both in the flesh and in the heart. Ezekiel 44:9 For this cause YHVH has said, No man from a strange land, without circumcision of heart and flesh, of all those who are living among the children of Israel, is to come into my holy place. Given that circumcision in the flesh will be performed during the millenium for all the male children, there should be normally found only circumcised men in the flesh on the planet. The men who would not be circumcised in the heart would be held far from the temple of Yahushua. The laws of YHVH mention nothing about the circumcision of adult men and do not require circumcision of adult men. This situation raises the question of the men who would be circumcised in the heart according to the Faith and not circumcised according to the flesh. How would these men find their place in the 553
temple? We may understand that the future generations in the millennium will arrive at the situation described in Ezekiel 44:9 above. If these men saved in the Faith would have access to the temple, they will have to be circumcised as adult men at some time. It is not clear still for us how this will be done but it will be done. Abraham was circumcised at 99 years of age and Ishmael at 13 years old. Genesis 17:24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he underwent circumcision. 25 And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he underwent circumcision. It is important to note that the example given by Abraham reveals that the circumcision of the heart begins before the circumcision of the flesh. Abraham demonstrated and exercised his Faith before being circumcised in the flesh. In other words, circumcision of the flesh came later as an external sign of a thing which would be internal, like the new man. So the uncircumcised men in the flesh who choose to believe and to act according to the Faith and the Law, demonstrate that they are already circumcised in the heart. The circumcision in the flesh of these men will thus come later. We could easily imagine that the saints would be circumcised in the flesh at the resurrection to enter the temple and\or carry out the functions of priests with Yahushua, the high priest. These questions remain opened for our reflection. Moreover, the example is given to us of the men who were circumcised in the desert just before entering the promised land which prefigured the Kingdom of Father YHVH. Joshua 5:2 At that time YHVH said to Joshua, Make yourself stone knives and give the children of Israel circumcision a second time. 3 So Joshua made stone knives and gave the children of Israel circumcision at Gibeath-ha-araloth. 4 And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt. Both circumcisions of all adult men prefigure the circumcision of the elect in the resurrection. Circumcision is presented as a healing or an improvement of man because Yahushua qualifies it clearly as a healing when he healed a man on the Sabbath day. John 7:23 If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? In other words, if it is good that a man receives a small healing (circumcision) in the flesh on the Sabbath day according to the law of Moses, it was even better to heal the whole man on the Sabbath day. 554
The parents who wish to obey the Father Creator and His perfect laws, will take the necessary measures to have their sons circumcised at the age of 8 days. If there are men who decide to be circumcised to fulfill this requirement of the laws of YHVH, they are free to do so but without regard for salvation which is given without circumcision of the flesh during this era.

8.5.2.1 Circumcision of the Heart There is a concept which is little known among the biblical students. The circumcision of the heart is clearly associated to the real conversion of the believers and confirms the inclusion in the new alliance. Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, said YHVH, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God [Ulhim], and they shall be my people. This heart circumcised in the Truth is a gift(donation) of Father Creator who replaces the heart of rebel stone by a heart of maléable flesh. Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. The circumcision of the heart is clearly supported and confirmed by the Bible. Jeremiah 9:25 25 Behold, the days come, said YHVH, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of Father Creator. Ezekiel 44:9 Thus said the Lord GOD [YHVH]; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel. Acts 7:51 You whose hearts are hard and whose ears are shut to me; you are ever working against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. The circumcision of the heart excludes in no way the circumcision of the flesh which remains an unchanging law for the male children on the 8 th day. For the circumcision of the adult men, it will be made in the day decreed by the Father 556
Creator and most probably on the day of the resurrection.
8.5.3 Tatoos In this modern world, it has become acceptable to mark the skin with permanent markings called tattoos. Again, with tattoos, we have another example of the human laws and traditions which are contrary to the laws of Father YHVH which forbid such markings. Leviticus 19:28 You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am YHVH. There are spiritual reasons behind all these rules. We must preserve our body to be a temple for the Holy Spirit (see 7.8 The Holy Spirit). 1Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of Creator Father, and that the Spirit of Creator Father dwelleth in you? Without knowing if the mark of the Beast is a tattoo or not, we should also refuse the mark of the Beast on our forehead or our hand (see 11.4.5 The mark of the Beast). Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
8.5.4 Jewellery There are among the so-called churches, individuals which introduce doctrines forbidding the wearing of jewels and in particular of earrings. When these doctrines are examined in the light of the Bible, we can discover that these doctrines are human. Certainly, we must not wear jewels in excess, especially women. However, the ban on the wearing of earrings as being forbidden in the Bible is completely a human doctrine. In fact, we have the Bible to dictate the true doctrines. In the first place, we have an example given by our Ulhim the angel YHVH in the old testament. As the servant of the only True Creator Father YHVH, he decorates his wife with different jewels and earrings in particular ( v.12 ). 557
Ezekiel 16:3 And say, This is what YHVH has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite. 4 As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands. 5 No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth. 6 And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life; 7 And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing. 8 Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says YHVH, and you became mine. 9 Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil. 10 And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk. 11 And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck. 12 And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. 13 So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food 14 You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord. If the wearing of earrings is acceptable for the angel of YHVH, it is acceptable for us all. Would these Ministers have dictated to the angel of YHVH their false doctrine not to decorate with jewels and earrings this woman, representing symbolically Jerusalem? We can see the abuse which certain men make of their brothers who fall under their authority. Such an opportunity should be used for the care of the brothers and for the education of the true biblical doctrines and not human doctrines. Certainly, we must avoid excesses. But who, among men, can dictate the limit of the ornaments of jewels. Apparently, jewels are a sign of consideration on behalf of the donor, in the case above, of the angel of YHVH. We find in the New testament some warnings to the women. 558
1 Timothy 2:9 In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment; 1 Peter 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; These verses encourage certainly modesty and simplicity but forbid in no way the wearing of jewels. We should not expect either than just men oppose what the angel of YHVH did, in regard to the ornament of jewels. We find a warning in regard to expensive jewels which would place a financial burden on most of us. If a woman receives in present such jewels, she will not sin by wearing them. However, a woman who would work to buy such jewels in place of the help which she could bring to her brothers or sisters or children, would demonstrate a false priority in her personal values. In conclusion, there is no formal ban on jewels in the Bible but warnings to keep a balance in the appearance, by putting modesty first and foremost.
8.5.5 Homosexuality As most of the human activities, it is sometimes difficult to know if such an activity is good or not. Opposite opinions exist on the judgment of such or such activity. We indeed see in our nations different doctrines and different systems which weaken the nations. Homosexuality is actually promoted in this modern world as being justifiable and acceptable but it is against the laws of Father YHVH. The Bible says it is an abomination which was punished with death. Leviticus 20:13 ‘If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. This biblical verse is very clear in specifying that such a sexual act between men is abominable. When the people of YHVH were subjected to the judges and to the servants of YHVH in the old testament, breaches of the law were quickly handled and the penalties were quickly applied. Often, death by stoning was the penalty. Today, nations apply laws and human traditions in opposition to the laws of Father YHVH in all fields of human activities. We actually live in a period of grace where the penalty is not applied. All the breaches against the laws of YHVH are not treated today, nor punished. If it was not for the grace, we would be all 559
dead. A time will come when the laws of Father YHVH will be recalled to all the nations as the warning before the laws of Father YHVH and their penalties are strictly applied. It is possible that the 2 witnesses who will preach during 1260 days, will also reintroduce the consequences of the breaches of the laws of Father YHVH (see 11.4.4 The 2 Witnesses). Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. A period of warning will be given before the penalties are imposed on each of the breaches. All breach of the law incurs a penalty and homosexuality is not an exception. Romans 1:26 For this cause Creator Father gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. All sins incur the death penalty. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; When the adulterous woman was caught in adultery and brought before Yahushua, the law commanded her death by stoning. In face of such a demand from the accusers of the adulterous woman, Yahushua asked that the one who had not sinned, throw the 1st stone to stone her to death. John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. ... 10 When Jesus [Yahushua] had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee ? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Yahushua said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. The conclusion which we may deduct from this incident is that only Yahushua may judge and apply the penalty or that a period of grace is actually granted to everyone to repent (see 11.1.1 Grace). Yet we may receive forgiveness upon repentance.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ [Yahushua] our Lord [2962 kurios YHVH].

8.5.6 Nazarite Vow Numbers 6: 2 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to YHVH, 3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried. 4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins. 5 “All the days of his vow of separation, no razor shall touch his head. Until the time is completed for which he separates himself to YHVH, he shall be holy. He shall let the locks of hair of his head grow long. 6 “All the days that he separates himself to YHVH he shall not go near a dead body. 7 Not even for his father or for his mother, for brother or sister, if they die, shall he make himself unclean, because his separation to El is on his head. 8 All the days of his separation he is holy to YHVH. 9 “And if any man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it. 10 On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two pigeons to the priest to the entrance of the tent of meeting, 11 and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body. And he shall consecrate his head that same day 12 and separate himself to YHVH for the days of his separation and bring a male lamb a year old for a guilt offering. But the previous period shall be void, because his separation was defiled. 13 “And this is the law for the Nazirite, when the time of his separation has been completed: he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting, 14 and he shall bring his gift to YHVH, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish as a sin offering, and one ram without blemish as a peace offering, 15 and a basket of unleavened bread, loaves of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and their grain offering and their drink offerings. 16 And the priest shall bring them before YHVH and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering, 17 and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of peace offering to YHVH, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its grain offering and its drink offering. 18 And the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire that is under the sacrifice of the peace offering. 19 And the priest shall take the shoulder of the ram, when it is boiled, and one unleavened loaf out of the basket and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the hair of his consecration, 20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before YHVH. They 562
are a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is contributed. And after that the Nazirite may drink wine. In the Old Testament, we have two examples of the Nazarite vow: Samuel and Samson. In the New Testament, we have the example of John the Baptist. In these cases, the mother was ordered by an angel not to drink wine nor strong drink, so no alcohol. Besides alcohol abstention requirements and animal sacrifices, we have no details on the activities required during the period of the vow. According to the law of the Nazarite, the vow was of limited duration. However, when we examine the three cases cited, it seems that the desire was for the entire duration of life of individuals. This is clearly the case of Samson according suivant. Judges 13: 7 but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. So then drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to El from the womb to the day of his death.’ ” For the elect in the new covenant, that Nazarite vow would he part of selected individuals of responsibility? Is it possible that elected officials are called upon to make this wish at some point in their lives, or for a limited period or permanently (see 8.4.5 Wine and alcohol)? Paul would have made such a vow, demonstrating that this law is still in force in the new alliance. Acts 18:18 And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae: for he had a vow. Acts 21:23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 24 these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law. Are the two witnesses mentioned in Revelation 11: 3 would for all practical purposes permanently dedicated in the Nazarite vow? Is Yahushua would have made the Nazarite vow from his baptism? According to his own admission, Yahushua would previously drank wine according to verse 7:34 suivant. Luke 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! The wine which Yahushua previously may have was possibly new wine without alcohol. However, from his baptism, it is quite possible that he began a Nazarite vow for the duration of his ministry until his death. This would imply that it took no wine nor any fruit of the vine from his baptism, nor at the Last Supper with his 563
disciples the night he instituted his Passover. Indeed, he offered his body and blood for the salvation of mankind and not for his own salvation that was already acquired for himself. He did not need to take the bread and wine representing his own body and his own blood. Besides, the following verse could also involve the Nazarite vow for Yahushua's disciples despite contrary possible. Acts 24:5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: Indeed, as the rest of the imperfect translations, one could also interpret the term Nazarene otherwise assuming that it refers to Yahushua who came from Nazareth. However, the possibility of the Nazarite vow for those who dedicated their lives to the Father Creator is real as we saw with Paul and some disciples.
8.5.7 Personal Impurities For men Leviticus 15:1 And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, 2 Say to the children of Israel: If a man has an unclean flow from his flesh, it will make him unclean. 3 If the flow goes on or if the part is stopped up, to keep back the flow, he is still unclean. 4 Every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean, and everything on which he has been seated will be unclean. 5 And anyone touching his bed is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. 6 And he who has been seated on anything on which the unclean man has been seated is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. 7 And anyone touching the flesh of the unclean man is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. 8 And if liquid from the mouth of the unclean man comes on to him who is clean, then he is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. 9 And any leather seat on a horse on which the unclean man has been seated will be unclean. 10 And anyone touching anything which was under him will be unclean till the evening; anyone taking up any of these things is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. 11 And anyone on whom the unclean man puts his hands, without washing them in water, is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. 12 And any vessel of earth which has been touched by the unclean man will have to be broken and any vessel of wood washed. 13 And when a man who has a flow from his body is made clean from it, he is to take seven days to make himself clean, washing his clothing and bathing his body in flowing water, and then he will be clean. 14 564
And on the eighth day he is to take two doves or two young pigeons and come before the Lord to the door of the Tent of meeting and give them to the priest: 15 And they are to be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, and the priest will take away his sin before the Lord on account of his flow. 16 And if a man’s seed goes out from him, then all his body will have to be bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening. 17 And any clothing or skin on which the seed comes is to be washed with water and be unclean till evening. 18 And if a man has sex relations with a woman and his seed goes out from him, the two of them will have to be bathed in water and will be unclean till evening. 32 This is the law for the man who has a flow from his body, or whose seed goes from him so that he is unclean; 33 And for her who has a flow of blood, and for any man or woman who has an unclean flow, and for him who has sex relations with a woman when she is unclean. For women Leviticus 15:19 And if a woman has a flow of blood from her body, she will have to be kept separate for seven days, and anyone touching her will be unclean till evening. 20 And everything on which she has been resting, while she is kept separate, will be unclean, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean. 21 And anyone touching her bed will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. 22 And anyone touching anything on which she has been seated will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. 23 Anyone touching anything on the bed or on the thing on which she has been seated, will be unclean till evening. 24 And if any man has sex relations with her so that her blood comes on him, he will be unclean for seven days and every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean. 25 And if a woman has a flow of blood for a long time, not at the time when she generally has it, or if the flow goes on longer than the normal time, she will be unclean while the flow of blood goes on, as she is at other normal times. 26 Every bed on which she has been resting will be unclean, as at the times when she normally has a flow of blood, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean, in the same way. 27 And anyone touching these things will be unclean, and his clothing will have to be washed and his body bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening. 28 But when her flow of blood is stopped, after seven days she will be clean. The days for the cleansing of women take origin in the Book of Jubilees in the following verses. 565
Jubilees 3:8. And when Adam had completed forty days in the land where he had been created, we brought him into the garden of Eden, we brought him into the garden of Eden, that he should work it and watch it ; but his wife they brought in on the eightieth day, and after this she entered the garden; and on this account the commandment is written on the tablets of heaven" in reference to her that gives birth, that "if she brings forth a male, she shall remain in her uncleanness seven days according to the first week of days, and thirty days shall she abide in the blood of purifying, and she shall touch nothing holy and shall not enter into the sanctuary until these days are completed for her who has a male child. 9. But she who has a female child shall remain in her uncleanness two weeks, according to the first two weeks, and sixty-six days in the blood of purifying, and all the days for her shall be eighty." 10. And she having completed these eighty days we brought her-into the garden of Eden, for it is holy above the whole earth, and every tree that is planted in it is holy. And on this account was ordained concerning her that gives birth to a male or female this law for these days, that they shall touch nothing holy nor enter a sanctuary until these days for a male or a female are completed.' ii. This law and testimony was given and written for the children of Israel that they should observe it all the days.

Deuteronomy 17:2 “If there is found among you, within any of your towns that YHVH your El is giving you, a man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of YHVH your El, in transgressing his 568
covenant, 3 and has gone and served other Els and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have forbidden, 4 and it is told you and you hear of it, then you shall inquire diligently, and if it is true and certain that such an abomination has been done in Israel, 5 then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones. Deuteronomy 20:7 And is there any man who has betrothed a wife and has not taken her? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man take her.’ Deuteronomy 21:10 “When you go out to war against your enemies, and YHVH your El gives them into your hand and you take them captive, 11 and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, 12 and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails. 13 And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. 14 But if you no longer delight in her, you shall let her go where she wants. But you shall not sell her for money, nor shall you treat her as a slave, since you have humiliated her. Deuteronomy 21:15 “If a man has two wives, the one loved and the other unloved, and both the loved and the unloved have borne him children, and if the firstborn son belongs to the unloved, 16 then on the day when he assigns his possessions as an inheritance to his sons, he may not treat the son of the loved as the firstborn in preference to the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn, 17 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the firstfruits of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his. 569
Deuteronomy 22:5
“A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor
shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to YHVH your El. Deuteronomy 22:13 ¶ “If any man takes a wife and goes in to her and then hates her 14 and accuses her of misconduct and brings a bad name upon her, saying, ‘I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity,’ 15 then the father of the young woman and her mother shall take and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city in the gate. 16 And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to marry, and he hates her; 17 and behold, he has accused her of misconduct, saying, “I did not find in your daughter evidence of virginity.” And yet this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread the cloak before the elders of the city. 18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip him, 19 and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife. He may not divorce her all his days. Deuteronomy 22:22 “If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel. Deuteronomy 22:23 “If there is a betrothed virgin, and a man meets her in the city and lies with her, 24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbor’s wife. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. 25 “But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die. 26 But you shall do nothing to the 570
young woman; she has committed no offense punishable by death. For this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor, 27 because he met her in the open country, and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her. Deuteronomy 22:28 “If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, 29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days. Deuteronomy 22:30 “A man shall not take his father’s wife, so that he does not uncover his father’s nakedness. Deuteronomy 24:1 “When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house, 2 and if she goes and becomes another man’s wife, 3 and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter man dies, who took her to be his wife, 4 then her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination before YHVH. And you shall not bring sin upon the land that YHVH your El is giving you for an inheritance. Deuteronomy 24:5 “When a man is newly married, he shall not go out with the army or be liable for any other public duty. He shall be free at home one year to be happy with his wife whom he has taken. Deuteronomy 25:5
“If brothers dwell together, and one of them 571
dies and has no son, the wife of the dead man shall not be married outside the family to a stranger. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her and take her as his wife and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.6 And the first son whom she bears shall succeed to the name of his dead brother, that his name may not be blotted out of Israel. 7 And if the man does not wish to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders and say, ‘My husband’s brother refuses to perpetuate his brother’s name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.’ 8 Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak to him, and if he persists, saying, ‘I do not wish to take her,’ 9 then his brother’s wife shall go up to him in the presence of the elders and pull his sandal off his foot and spit in his face. And she shall answer and say, ‘So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.’ 10 And the name of his house shall be called in Israel, ‘The house of him who had his sandal pulled off.’ Deuteronomy 25:11 “When men fight with one another and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, 12 then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity. Deuteronomy 27:20 “ ‘Cursed be anyone who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s nakedness.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
572
8.5.9 Personal Vows Numbers 30:3 If a woman vows a vow to YHVH and binds herself by a pledge, while within her father’s house in her youth, 4 and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge by which she has bound herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. 5 But if her father opposes her on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. And YHVH will forgive her, because her father opposed her. 6 If she marries a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself, 7 and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. 8 But if, on the day that her husband comes to hear of it, he opposes her, then he makes void her vow that was on her, and the thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she bound herself. And YHVH will forgive her. 9 (But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.) 10 And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath, 11 and her husband heard of it and said nothing to her and did not oppose her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she bound herself shall stand. 12 But if her husband makes them null and void on the day that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning her pledge of herself shall not stand. Her husband has made them void, and YHVH will forgive her. 13 Any vow and any binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish, or her husband may make void. 14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges that are upon her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard of them. 15 But if he makes them null 573
and void after he has heard of them, then he shall bear her iniquity.” 16 These are the statutes that YHVH commanded Moses about a man and his wife and about a father and his daughter while she is in her youth within her father’s house.
8.5.10 Funerals The Father Creator law regulates how to do the funeral and burial of the deceased body. We have biblical examples and old books to show us the correct way. Deuterenomy 21:22 “And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, 23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is cursed by El. You shall not defile your land that YHVH your El is giving you for an inheritance. We also have the example of Yahushua who was put in a tomb before sunset. Furthermore, there is no mention of burning the body to ashes as it is often done in certain nations.
8.6 The National Laws Besides the 10 commandments, many laws were in force for the good functioning of the government over the people as a nation. In the following sections, a few of those laws are explained. The ancestral inheritances were protected by the law of the jubilee which assured the continuity of ownership (see 8.6.2 The Jubilee). Every 49 years, all the families returned to their ancestral lands completely freed from all debts. Also, every 7 years, at the sabbatical year, the slaves were freed without charge. The following sections list some of those laws. Obviously, all the nation of Israel must observe nationally the solemnities, that is, the day of weekly Sabbath, the intercalary days called new moons, the holy days and the annual solemnities (see 10. YHVH's Solemnities). 574
575
8.6.1 The Year of Release There is a law which commands to free his brothers and sisters who are slaves after 6 years of service or if need be, at the sabbatical year. Deuteronomy 15:1 Every seven years thou shalt make a release. 2 And this is the ordinance of the release: thou shalt remit every private debt which thy neighbour owes thee, and thou shalt not ask payment of it from thy brother; for it has been called a release to YHVH thy El. 3 Of a stranger thou shalt ask again whatsoever he has of thine, but to thy brother thou shalt remit his debt to thee. 4 For thus there shall not be a poor person in the midst of thee, for YHVH thy El will surely bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God gives thee by inheritance, that thou shouldest inherit it. 5 And if ye shall indeed hearken to the voice of YHVH thy El, to keep and do all these commandments, as many as I charge thee this day, Deuteronomy 15:12 And if thy brother or sister, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, be sold to thee, he shall serve thee six years, and in the seventh year thou shalt send him out free from thee. 13 And when thou shalt send him out free from thee, thou shalt not send him out empty. 14 Thou shalt give him provision for the way from thy flock, and from thy corn, and from thy wine; as YHVH thy El has blessed thee, thou shalt give to him. 15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and YHVH thy El redeemed thee from thence; therefore I charge thee to do this thing. The year of release must be observed during the sabbatical year, that is, in the 7th year of the 7 year cycle when it is commanded to read the law during the feast of tents (see 9.5 The Sabbatical Land Cycle). Deuteronomy 31:10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, 11 When all Israel is come to appear before YHVH thy El in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear YHVH your El, and observe to do all the words of this law: 13 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear YHVH your El, as long as ye live 576
in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. The 7th year was a Sabbath for the land according to a continuous unchanging cycle. The following verse confirms this concept. Deuteronomy 15:9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto YHVH against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
8.6.2 The Jubilee Year The Jubilee is a law commanded at the national level and even at the plantery level to restore the ancestral inheritances of all the families at every 49 years (see 9.6 The Jubile). Leviticus 25:8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. 11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 12 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 13 In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession. The jubilee is fixed by a period of 7 cycles of 7 years, that is, of 49 years. The year of jubilee is the 50th year and it is sabbatical as the 7th year of every cycle of 7 years. The 50th year is in fact the 1 st year of the next Jubilee cycle of 49 years. During this year of Jubile, all the families are returned to their ancestral lands, no matter if they had lost them during the last jubilee by mistake or by other unforeseen and\or detrimental events.
577
Deuteronomy 31:10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles [tents], The concept of the repetitive cycle of 7 years is confirmed by the expression 'every 7 years' which corresponds to the concept of the cycle of the 7 day week which has remained unchanged and continuous from the 1 st day of creation.
8.6.3 Reading of the Law This command is addressed to the leaders, to the teachers, to the ministers who are the servants of the only True Creator Father YHVH and to all the people. Every 7 years, the people must receive instructions on the laws of the Father Creator so that all are very aware of the way to be followed. Deuteronomy 31:9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, which bore the ark of the covenant of YHVH, and to all the elders of Israel. 10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, 11 When all Israel is come to appear before YHVH your El in the place which he shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12 Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and your stranger that is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear YHVH your El, and observe to do all the words of this law: 13 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear YHVH your El, as long as you live in the land where you go over Jordan to possess it. We find in the following verses the description of the reading of the law done by Nehemiah and his colleagues. This description can be useful for us to know how this reading should be done. Nehemiah 8:1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which YHVH had commanded to Israel. 2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, 578
and all that could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: 6 And Ezra blessed YHVH, the great El. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped YHVH with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. 8 So they read in the book in the law of God [Ulhim] distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. 9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to YHVH your God [Ulhim]; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. 10 Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy to our LORD [YHVH]: neither be you sorry; for the joy of YHVH is your strength. 11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be you grieved. 12 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared to them. 13 And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law. 14 And they found written in the law which YHVH had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: 15 And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. 579
From the verses above, we may notice the following details in the reading of the law: 1) The reading is done every 7 years (v. 31:10) 2) During the 7th sabbatical year (v. 31:10) 3) During the feast of tents (v. 31:10) 4) It is done in a public place accessible to all (v. 8:3) 5) Men and women and all those capable of understanding are present (v. 8:2) 6) The reading is done from the books from the morning till noon (v. 8:3) 7) The following day, the explanations are given on the laws which were read the previous day (v. 8:8)

8.6.4 The Annual Solemnities Certain days in Father Creator's calendar are set apart in His honour. These are days commanded to the people of the Father YHVH to be annually observed. These days of solemnity are enumerated and described in the Bible (see 11. The Plan in 7 Solemnities and 10. The Solemnities of YHVH). The observance of these days is still in effect today for the elect of the Father Creator. Thus they are national laws of observance that will become planetary during the reign of Yahushua. Leviticus 23:1 And YHVH spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, Concerning the feasts of YHVH, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. ... 4 These are the feasts of YHVH, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons. These days are not observed by all the so-called churches today and by all the nations. The great majority of the world rejects the only True Creator Father YHVH and have adopted pagan traditions by being seduced by the prince of this world Satan. However, during the millenium, all will have to keep them. Zecheriah 14:16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, YHVH of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 17 And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, YHVH of hosts, on them there will be no rain. 18 If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which YHVH strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

8.6.5 Census There are in several so-called civilized countries from time to time censuses. It is a process of enquiry to determine not only the number of inhabitants but several information with the aim of gathering detailed information about the individuals to tax them. This is made by a questionnaire which every citizen is asked to fill. Most people are not offended by this process but others object to give information which they consider confidential. If we had no other references, we could not judge if such a census is good or evil. Again in such a case, we have the Bible to establish the law on census. Exodus 30:12 When you are taking the number of the children of Israel, let every man who is numbered give to YHVH a price for his life, so that no disease may come on them when they are numbered. 13 And this is what they are to give; let every man who is numbered give half a shekel, by the scale of the holy place: (the shekel being valued at twenty gerahs:) this money is an offering to YHVH. 14 Everyone who is numbered, from twenty years old and over, is to give an offering to YHVH. 15 The man of wealth is to give no more and the poor man no less than the halfshekel of silver, when the offering is made to YHVH as the price for your lives. There was a procedure for the census according to the laws of Father YHVH. It must be respected to avoid severe penalties. This census must be done on the Day of Atonement by means of a simple donation of half a sickle. It was a simple way to count the number of persons by simply counting the amount collected. We learn that David did a census without the permission of Father YHVH and outside of the Day of Atonement. His punishment was very severe as king of Israel (see 2Sam.21:1-17). Once the census was ended, David realized his fault and Father YHVH sent a plague which killed 70000 persons. 2Samuel 24:15 So David made selection of the disease; and the time was the days of the grain-cutting, when the disease came among the people, causing the death of seventy thousand men from Dan as far as Beer-sheba. Thus, any census should be made only under the order of Father YHVH and according to His prescriptions. The leaders of the nations who command censuses without the order of Father YHVH and outside of His prescriptions, will incur His wrath. The elect who live in this world have the right and the duty to object by motive of conscience not to participate in such a census. The conscious objection is a principle which applies not only to the military activities but to all 582
the questions raised in every individual's conscience. Spiritually, the elect are not a part of this political world but are rather members of the body of Yahushua which is at present in heaven. Truly, we are ambassadors for a king and his kingdom which is outside of the country where we live. 2Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ [Yahushua], as though God [Father YHVH] did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ [Yahushua]’s stead, be ye reconciled to God [Father YHVH]. Ephesians 6:20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. As ambassadors, we would not be subjected to the census of the country where we are passing through to go to Jerusalem. Nevertheless, we are still be slaves in this modern Babylon because of our past sins. According to Father YHVH's will who put us in this Babylon, we may be subjected to the same obligations as the local citizens although our homeland is spiritual Israel which will receive heavenly Jerusalem. Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God [Father YHVH]. The house of Father YHVH is not a part of this world, nor the kingdom for which we are ambassadors. John 18:36 Jesus [Yahushua] answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Spiritually, we have been made members with the saints of the body of Yahushua and transfered as citizens to the kingdom of heaven as ambassadors. Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Hebrew 9:11 But Christ [Yahushua] being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal 583
redemption for us. As a consequence, our names would be written in the Book of life of the Lamb. There is no need for a census anymore to count the saints in the Book of life nor on the Day of Atonement, nor any other day. Yet, since our physical persons are still registered in this Babylon system as slaves, we may have to participate in the census until Father YHVH will take us out bodily or allows us to remove our names from the Babylon registers. The elect may be excluded from the business of this world. There is in this concept important implications which cannot be adequately covered here, seen its complexity. Yahushua himself, as the son of the King of the universe, was exempt to pay taxes. The fact that Peter paid for him a tax of the temple does not constitute a universal obligation to pay any tax which Caesar will ask for. Certain questions are raised concerning the so-called census that Joseph and Miriam would have participated during the time of the birth of Yahushua. Some use this example to show the participation of the elect in the censuses of the local governments. Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. At first glance, it is unthinkable that Yahushua was implicated, even in the womb of his mother in a disobedience to the laws of Father YHVH. We must find an explanation which answers adequately to the question. The word census is from Greek apographo translated by tax somewhere else. It is possible that each had to return to his home town to pay a tax without being a legal census according to the laws of Father YHVH. It is necessary to admit that sometimes, either the translated texts, or our understanding, are not sufficient to understand the concepts before us. Another explanation would be that this census was in accordance with the laws of Father YHVH and that it took place exactly according to the applicable legal prescriptions. So, Yahushua was not involved in a process of an illegal census and he was not included, still not having been born. We have to continue to question these things to really understand our obligations to the laws of Father YHVH. We constantly must remind ourselves of Peter's words: Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, 584
We ought to obey Father Creatorather than men. Each person must establish his behaviour according to his conscience in the light of the laws of Father YHVH. The fact must clearly be established in our spirit that the authorities in place have established human laws and traditions opposed to the laws of Father YHVH and we must reserve our allegiance to our Creator Father in heaven. In doubt, we may ask in prayers to Father Creator by casting lots if we must refrain. He will give us the answer because only Father Creator is Master Supreme to command any census, even to the governments of this world. In the context where we are slaves of this system, we are forced to participate as a rule in the census. However, if we can come out of this system by abandoning the legal fictitious entity which was created with our birth certificate, then we are freed from the system and we are no more a part of it.
585
8.7 The Agricultural Laws These laws concern the protection of the earth as a living entity and its inhabitants (see 6.16 The Earth). As men and animals have a Sabbath of rest on the 7th day of the week, the earth also has its Sabbath every 7 years (see 8.7.1 The Sabbatical Year).
8.7.1 The Land Sabbatical Year In Father YHVH's calendar, years are counted in cycles of 7 years in the agricultural cycle. The 7th year in the agricultural cycle is commanded as sabbatical and a rest for the land, i.e. no harvests nor any sowing must be done during this 7th year (see 9.5 The Land Cycle and Sabbatical Year). Leviticus 25:4 ‘but in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath to YHVH. You shall neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard. 5
‘What grows of its own
accord of your harvest you shall not reap, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine, for it is a year of rest for the land. The 7th year is a Sabbath for the earth and not for man who can accomplish any other activities except with the land.
8.7.2 Harvests from Trees There is a law which concerns the plantation of new fruit trees. We must wait 4 years since its plantation before eating its fruits. Leviticus 19:23 And when you will enter the country and when you will plant any sorts of fruit trees, you will consider during three years their fruits as their foreskins; they shall be uncircomcised for you, you shall not eat it. 24 And on the fourth year all their fruits will be gratefully dedicated to Eternal [ YHVH]. 25 And fifth year you will eat the fruit, so that the tree continues with you its report: I am Eternal [ YHVH], your God [ Ulhim ]. 586
8.7.3 Genetic Purety It is strictly forbidden to mix seeds in diverse ways. Leviticus 19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. Deuteronomy 22:9 Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard; if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled. Certain corporations are going even as far as mixing animal DNA with vegetable DNA to obtain certain special attributs. In reality, they are poisoning humanity with contaminated food. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________

8.8 The Temple Laws There are many laws which directed the operation of the sanctuary, the tent of meeting and the temple. We will not enumerate these uncountable rules because the physical building of the temple does not exist any more. Yahushua visited the last physical temple in Jerusalem. This temple was destroyed in 70 CE in Jerusalem. In the new covenant, the temple is made of all the physical bodies of the living elect in which the Holy Spirit lives. We shall identify only a few laws which apply spiritually from now on. With the destruction of the physical temple in 70 EC, the levitical priests have lost their office. As a consequence, the levitical priests do not receive any more the tithe which allowed them to work full-time in the temple (see 8.8.1 The 1 st Tithe). Also, the elect who form the temple, are the new servants of the temple according to the order of Melchisedek under the high priest Yahushua. The elect do not pay the tithe intended for the temple but dedicate their life in service to Father Creator YHVH.
8.8.1 Age of Service The service in the temple was limited to men between the age of 30 years and 50 years. Numbers 4:3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. This priesthood took charge of the animal sacrifices in the temple and consisted mainly in the physical work for the temple of which was the butchery. We now have a new priesthood according to the order of Melchisedek under Yahushua, the high priest. Apparently, the age of 30 thirty years is applicable to the priesthood of Melchisedek because Yahushua was 30 years old when he began his ministry. However, the priesthood of Melchisedek is an eternal priesthood. Thus, Yahushua and the elect will continue eternally beyond the age of 50 years. Hebrew 7:23 And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever; 24 588
But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging. 25 So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to Creator Father through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to Creator Father for them. For the priesthood of Levi during the millennium, the appropriate rule will apply under the rule of Yahushua.
8.8.2 Tithes and Offerings In the old covenant, there was a system of tithing and offerings for the temple and the chosen people. These will be briefly explained because there is change from Yahushua's sacrifice and his nomination as high priest in the order of Melchisedek. s which were established for the chosen people of Father YHVH. The tithe corresponds to 10 % of the harvests from the land. FIRST TITHE The 1st tithe was destined to the functioning of the temple of former days. It was given to the Levites for their services in the temple which served exclusively for the sacrifices of animals. They were dedicated to this work 24 hours/7 days. During his ministry, Yahushua confirmed the law of tithing for the temple that still existed. However, after Yahushua's sacrifice, the temple and Jerusalem have been destroyed because the Levitical priesthood rejected him. The sacrifices of animals have ceased with the service of the levitical priesthood who were rejected themselves as unfit. Thus, the tithing system is suspended also. The elect are now part of the priesthood of Yahushua in the order of Melchisedek. The elect who carry out the works in the divers ministries of Yahushua should receive the tithe from the physical people of Father YHVH. However, the current apostasy in the world prevents any application of the laws of tithing. The 2nd tithe serves for the observance of the solemnities of Father YHVH to cover all the costs of transportation, food and drinks.
Besides tithes, offerings are required (see 8.8.2.3 The Offerings).

8.8.2.1 The 1st Tithe Everything belongs to Father YHVH and in particular, the 1st tithe. Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD (YHVH)’s: it is holy unto the LORD (YHVH). He was giving it to the tribe of Levi for the functioning of the temple. This tithe allowed the Levites to live and to receive the food and offerings which were given by the people. All their survival was based on this tithe and their whole life was dedicated to the activities in the temple. They also made the butchery of animals offered by the people. The Levites had to offer themselves 10% from the tithe received to give in offering. Numbers 18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD (YHVH), even a tenth part of the tithe. The 1st tithe was still in effect at the time of Yahushua when the temple was still in function. Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Thus, Yahushua did confirm the payment of the tithe in his time but he blamed the pharisees for neglecting the most important in the law: justice, mercy and faith. Paul also confirmed the application of the tithe again in his time, before the temple was destroyed in 70 CE. Hebrew 7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. However, we learn that a new priesthood took place in Yahushua, that of Melchisedek who is superior to that of Levi. Hebrew 5:10 Called of Father Creator an high priest after the order of Melchisedek. Hebrew 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus [Yahushua], made an high priest for ever after the order of 591
Melchisedek. Yahushua's prieshood took effect whereas the levitical priesthood is not in function in the current age. Now, there is no more a physical temple (building), the last one having been destroyed in 70 EC. The tribe of Levi is no more in office in this temple and does not receive any more this 1st tithe. The sacrifices of animals have also ceased with the destruction of the temple. Levi and the pharisees have all been removed from the work of Father YHVH. La law of tithing is thus logically not in function during the present age, at least, until Yahushua's return. At that time, all things will be restored according to Father Creator's will during Yahushua's millennial reign. In Hebrews, it is confirmed that Abraham paid tithe to Melchisedek, a priest of Father YHVH. In fact, through Abraham who is the biologic father of the tribes, all the tribes thus paid the tithe to Melchisedek and not only Levi. Hebrews 7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedek met him. We could thus deduct that the establishment of Yahushua as high priest sets up the change of the law of animal sacrifices and of tithing. Hebrew 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. The true church is the temple of the Holy Spirit and the body of Yahushua who does the work of the Father Creator. In contradiction to the false teachings of the collecting pastors, the church is not a corporation nor an association nor a centralized system to receive the tithe. The Church is formed with the bodies of the elect scattered on this planet. To the woes of the pastors who were abusing the sheep, the elect are freed from the pastors. The elect are now guided directly by the only untitled shepherd Yahushua through the Holy Spirit to do the Father's works. Hebrew 13:20 Now the Father Creatorf peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Neither the church, nor the temple, nor the elect have to pay tithe to so-called pastors, nor to anyone. The elect offer their entire lives to the works of the temple according to their function, their resources and their talents which the Father Creator has given them in Yahushua. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of 592
God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. According to Paul's example, the church did not practice tithing but he worked as a tent maker not to be a burden on the brethen.
Thus, in these last days, the elect are called individually to give much more than 10% but to dedicate their entire lives to accomplish the mission of the church (see 11.3.2 The Church). 2Thessalonians 3:7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________

8.8.2.2 The 2nd Tithe The 2nd tithe was commanded for the observance of the commanded solemnities, either locally, or outside of our cities of residence. Every family or individual had to put aside a cumulative 2nd tithe as a reserve for his own costs of travel, housing, food, beverages, etc. to attend Father Creator's solemnities. Deuteronomy 14:22 You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year. 23 And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herds and of your flocks; that you may learn to fear the LORD your Father Creatorlways. 24 And if the way be too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from you, which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD your Father Creatoras blessed you: 25 Then shall you turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose: 26 And you shall bestow that money for whatever your soul lusts after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul desires: and you shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household, We are commanded to go to the place which Father YHVH has chosen to celebrate His solemnities (see 10.11 The Place of the Solemnities). This 2 nd tithe is cumulative and allows to accumulate funds on the sabbatical cycle of 7 years for our own needs for observance of the solemnities. However, we must not keep for ourselves the 2nd tithe of the 3rd year and the 6th year the sabbatical cycle (see 9.7 The 3 rd Year). Otherwise, is it another separate tithe that we must give to the poor brethren for them to attend the solemnities also, on the 3rd year and the 6th year? That would make sense that we should also have a tithe to enjoy the feast also. Deuteronomy 26:12 When you have made an end of tithing all the tithes of your increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled; Deuteronomy 14:27 And the Levite that is within your gates; you shall not forsake him; for he has no part nor inheritance with you. 28 At the end of three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase the same year, and shall lay it up within your gates: The 3rd year and 6th year, the 2nd tithe (or a 3rd tithe) must be given to the orphans and to the widows of the local church. We do not give any more to the Levites because they are hidden in all the nations. In the cases where the elect are scattered and where there are neither widows nor orphans locally, the funds 594
may be infinitely set aside or used to publish the Good news. We must not give these funds to people outside the body when they have human government services to help them. The stranger mentioned in the verse 12 above is the one who has joined the body of the church to obey Father Creator's laws. These funds must be dedicated to the observance of Father YHVH's solemnities for those who would want to join us. These funds are not intended for the basic needs of strangers and the general public outside the church but rather to keep Father YHVH's solemnities. Several Bible versions have translated it as 'every 3 years'. In that case, the gift of a tithe would be on the 3 rd year and the 6th year. Seen the sabbatical year with the release on the 7th year, we can logically understand the pertinence of the gift of the tithe in the 6th year. Indeed, given the reading of the law at the Feast of Tents in the 7th year, this tithe would allow the widows and orphans to rejoice also at this feast which is marked with a double harvest.
8.8.2.3 Offerings Besides the tithes commanded in the Bible, there were voluntary offerings which were required from the people for the needs of the physical temple in Jerusalem and for the Levites. Ezra 1:4
And whosoever remaineth in any place where he
sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of El that is in Jerusalem. Deuteronomy 12:5 But unto the place which YHVH your El shall choose out of all your tribes to put His name there, even unto His habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come. 6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks. So, people had to bring voluntary offerings to Father Creator's solemnities. The amount was fixed in the following verse.
Ezekiel 45:15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, 595
out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD [Yehovih 03069]. The offering was required from all the men heads of the family according to their blessings. Deuteronomy 16:16
Three times in a year shall all thy males
appear before YHVH, your El in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before YHVH empty: Deuteronomy 16:10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto YHVH, your El, according as YHVH, your El hath blessed thee: According to Father Creator's blessings, every male representative of families, has to bring to His solemnities an offering at the beginning of the feast. There are obviously 2 aspects in the offerings. The physical aspect is simple: we had to bring foods, animals to be consumed or to be sacrificed to the temple or to the places of solemnity. In the case of the solemnities, the offerings were intended for the consumption by all people present . The spiritual aspect is much wider and applies more to the new covenant. In the old covenant, the tithe was intended for the Levites for the maintenance and the operation of the physical temple in Jerusalem. The Levites were removed and the temple was destroyed because they rejected the old covenant and rejected the messenger of the covenant. In the new covenant, the temple is constituted by the elect as the priesthood under Yahushua according to the order of Melchisedek. The offerings are no more animals but are the elect who give their life in the service of the only True Creator Father YHVH. 596
Romans 6:13
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of
unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto Father Creator, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto Father Creator. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Father Creator, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto Father Creator, which is your reasonable service. Philippians 2:17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ________

8.8.3 In the New Covenant Men and women have their respective role. A husband must care for his wife because she is physically weaker and because she has a part in the inheritance of the saints. 1Peter 3:7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. The honor which is due to the women should be granted by all the men but certainly by the elect who know the truth and who love their wifes as Yahushua loved the church and gave his life for her. Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the
church and gave himself up for her, Man must play his role as the leader and head of his wife. He must obey Father Creator's laws and keep all the solemnities according to the commands. There were more work for men to do in a physical temple such as animal sacrifices. The temple is now formed with the physical bodies of men and women in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. In the new covenant congregations, men and women were given their respective role. When there were gatherings of the brethren in a local area, men had the office of preaching the good news as we can read in the New Testament. As Paul explained, women were under the authority of men in the congregation. As men preached to the whole congregation, older women would teach younger women and young women would teach their children.
The woman has played an important role in Father Creator's plan since the creation. In the new covenant, the believing woman will continue to play her role. In the old covenant, all priesthood responsibilities were given to the men of the tribe of Levi who performed all the sacrificial slaughtering in the temple. In the present era of the new covenant, there are no more physical temple since its destruction in 70 CE nor any animal sacrifices. Thus, the greater part of the physical work done by the men of Levi has ceased with the destruction of the old 598
temple. The work in the mission of the new covenant is not as physical but more spiritual. The temple in the new covenant is formed with all the physical bodies of the men and women in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. 1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are Creator Father’s temple and that Creator Father’s Spirit dwells in you? Which functions can women accomplish in the new covenant? There is one function for which they were created and which does not change : that is childrenbearing from which all Father YHVH's children are born of which the elect. According to Paul and according to the law, women are excluded in the old covenant as in the new covenant of positions of authority over men in the congregation in this age. They can evidently have authority in service above women and children but not above men. 1 Corinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches [1577 ecclesia]: for it is not permitted to them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also said the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church [1577 ecclesia]. 1Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. Contrary to the so-called Christian human associations who reject Father Creator's laws and who place women as ministers in authority over men, Paul confirms that the law excludes women from any authority or superiority over man in the congregation. Paul adds in verse 34 above that it is the law. Consequently, can only men baptize men? Can we assert that a woman is legally allowed to baptize another woman? In verse 15 above, Paul specifies that the woman will be saved through her childbearing by performing charity. Paul may seem very hard towards women in contrast to the feminist movement which has drastically changed the attitude of women in the world concerning their roles with men. We can certainly note a great difference between human laws and traditions concerning women's role and Father Creator's laws. Some men have 599
also terribly failed in dealing with wisedom with their wives. Consequently, many separations and divorces are occuring in these last days. In Father Creator's law, the inheritance is based only on parternal descent. Thus, all lineage is based on the male genealogy only (see 4.3 The Chronology). Also, the legal genealogy of Yahushua is strictly based on his adoptive parents, Joseph's genealogy and his mother Myriam's Father's genealogy (see 6.4.2.1 His 2 Genealogies). Men have always been set to rule in Israel. According to the following verse, it is not good that a woman would rule over the people. Isaiah 3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths. During the millennium, will the sexual gender of the resurrected elect have an importance in the offices? The election of Father Creator will be the determining element. The word deaconess as well as deacon are incorrectly and inconsistantly translated because the original Greek word 1249 διακονος diakonos simply means servant with no authority. Human associations have modified the interpretations to give spiritual authority to simple servants who had no such authority. The following verses prove the meaning of deacon as simple servants. Acts 6:2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of Father Creatoro serve tables. 3 Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. Besides, Father Creator is no respector of persons. At the resurrection, there will be no more sexuality, thus no more difference in the sexual gender. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus [Yahushua messiah]. Being questioned by the Jews who wanted to know, in the resurrection, who would be the husband of a woman who had 7 husbands in this earthly life, Yahushua answered that there would no more marriage thus no more sexual distinction in the resurrection. Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither 600
marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. This verse could also be received as the fact that angels are asexual or in other words eunuchs having no sexual activities although they are all males. In conclusion, according to the law, in the old covenant as in the new covenant, women always have the same roles and the same tasks in the congregation and in marriage. The woman always had the role of bearing children among which the elect. There a role was and still is as helper and support to the man just like in the beginning. Genesis 2:18 And YHVH El said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH]. 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ [messiah]; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ [messiah] is God [Father Creator YHVH]. For the believing women who know their responsibilities, they are happy or accept to accomplish their service, in particular, for a husband who would also be a believer but otherwise, for a non-converted man. 1 Corinthians 7:13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

8.9 An eye for an Eye There is a principle mentioned in the Bible which can be interpreted as being a vengeance of the victim on the criminal. Exodus 21:23 But if there is harm, then you shall pay life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. It is clear that the treatment imposed on the author of the crimes is aimed at discouraging any recurrence and at giving a dissuasive example to all the community. At the same time, we remove the evil out of the people, as we remove a rotten apple from a basket. In the case of a murder, the murderer must be killed. It is the golden rule applied to the wicked as to the good. Another interpretation or facet may be given, which is not strictly a vengeance of the victim but rather, a direct compensation for the damages and troubles undergone by the victim. Indeed, we can easily understand that the victim does not so much need to take revenge than to be compensated for his physical injury or other losses. The losses undergone through an accident must indeed be compensated by the one responsible for the accident. We see these compensations described in the Bible. Exodus 21:33 “When a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it, 34 the owner of the pit shall make restoration. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead beast shall be his. Thus, there must be real compensation, i.e. financial for the undergone losses. Exodus 21:35 “When one man’s ox butts another’s, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and share its price, and the dead beast also they shall share. 36 Or if it is known that the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall repay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his. In the case of a theft, the thief must restore up to 5 times what he stole. Exodus 22:1 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall repay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. 2 “If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him, 3 but if the sun has risen on him, there shall be bloodguilt for him. He shall surely pay. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. 4 If the stolen beast is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox or a donkey or a sheep, 602
he shall pay double. Exodus 22:9 For every breach of trust, whether it is for an ox, for a donkey, for a sheep, for a cloak, or for any kind of lost thing, of which one says, ‘This is it,’ the case of both parties shall come before El. The one whom God [Ulhim] condemns shall pay double to his neighbor. In case of the care of an animal entrusted to another's care, the responsibility is determined from the circumstances. Exodus 22:10 “If a man gives to his neighbor a donkey or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep safe, and it dies or is injured or is driven away, without anyone seeing it, 11 an oath by YHVH shall be between them both to see whether or not he has put his hand to his neighbor’s property. The owner shall accept the oath, and he shall not make restitution. 12 But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner. 13 If it is torn by beasts, let him bring it as evidence. He shall not make restitution for what has been torn. 14 “If a man borrows anything of his neighbor, and it is injured or dies, the owner not being with it, he shall make full restitution. 15 If the owner was with it, he shall not make restitution; if it was hired, it came for its hiring fee. We are responsible for our acts, even in case of accidents. That is why we take insurance policies in the event of a motorcar accident. The victim who survives should be compensated adequately, which the human laws and traditions only rarely do. In the case where the victim is killed in an accident, which compensation should be applied? We need a judge as wise as Salomon to answer all the requirements of the laws of Father YHVH. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________

8.10 Casting Lots The world uses the concept of casting lots according to their objectives and their laws and human traditions. This concept has its origin in the Bible as a means to know the will of the Father Creator YHVH in certain important decisions. We find several examples of application of this concept in the following Biblical verses. It is clearly the way that Father YHVH makes known His choice to His people and to whoever He chooses to show it. The Bible reports several examples where the people of Father YHVH uses this concept to know His choice. Leviticus 16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for YHVH and the other lot for Azazel. 9 And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for YHVH and use it as a sin offering, This choice between 2 he-goats prefigured the application of the penalty on the rebels with their execution or their imprisonment, such as illustrated in the imprisonment of Satan on the day of Atonement on the last day (see 11.5.9 The Capture of the Unclean Spirits, 11.5.12 The Capital punishment and 11.5.6 Satan Imprisoned). This ceremony for atonement is based on the drawing of lots between 2 symbolic he-goats of rebellion. It is the means through which the Father YHVH can use to reveal His perfect plan and His will since the beginning of the Creation as we can see with the following verses. Numbers 26:55 But the land shall be divided by lot. According to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. 56 Their inheritance shall be divided according to lot between the larger and the smaller. Joshua 14:2 Their inheritance was by lot, just as YHVH had commanded by the hand of Moses for the nine and one-half tribes. Joshua 21:4 The lot came out for the clans of the Kohathites. So those Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin, thirteen cities. 5 And the rest of the Kohathites received by lot from the clans of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan and the halftribe of Manasseh, ten cities. The territories of the promised land were divided into parts and then these parts were distributed by casting lots. Cities were also awarded by casting lots before the angel of YHVH. In Jonah's story, the men enquired by casting lots to find who was responsible for their disastrous situation. Jonah 1:7 And they said to one another, Come, let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. Clearly, the revelation is made by Father YHVH. 604
In the New Testament, we see the apostles drawing lots between men to find Father YHVH's choice to replace the 12th apostle Judas Iscariot. Acts 1:26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. We thus see that this means is clearly biblical. Consequently, it would be plausible that the saints use this concept even today to know Father YHVH's choice on spiritually important subjects. It is evident that any casting of lots to know the will of Father YHVH's choice must be made in faith and in prayer. Each individual is responsible before Father YHVH for the use that he may make of this concept. It is to the Supreme Creator that we ask for His will and thus for a very important concept because we must accomplish His will. It is the means which the present author has used to know the will of the Father Creator on certain precise questions such as the calendar, the use of alcohol, etc. (see 8.4.5 Alcohol and 9.4.3 The Year vs The Equinox). On the other hand, it is reserved for His chosen people to know His will. He may choose to hide His will to others as He pleases. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ____ 8.11 Changes to the Law? On one hand, Yahushua asserted that he had not come to abolish the law and that it would not be changed a single iota. Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, we see that certain changes were made such as confirmed by Paul in the following verse: Hebrew 7:12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. How can we reconcile the assertion of truth of Yahushua and the reality confirmed by Paul? Yahushua spoke about the law as being the law of Moses, the psalms and the 605
books of the prophets. Luke 24:44 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Matthew 22:36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” The question in verse 36 above regarded the greatest command of the law. Yahushua adds that all the law and the prophets depend and come from these 2 great commands. It is clear that the law in question goes beyond the 10 commandments because the law (of Moses) and the prophets are included. It is clear that Yahushua confirmed several times the application of the law of Moses. Mark 1:44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” Mark 12:26 And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how Creator Father spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the El of Abraham, and the God [Ulhim] of Isaac, and the God [Ulhim] of Jacob’? Luke 16:29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ Paul also confirms it. Hebrew 10:28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. The law and the prophets mentioned by Yahushua as being unchanging include all of which was given to the people at Mount Sinai. How can we explain the changes confirmed by Paul? In the respect for Yahushua's truthful assertion, we must find an answer which can reconcile the truth of Yahushua and the visible changes in the temple laws. One answer which can reconcile these 2 facts is a simple temporary suspension of the application of certain laws and mostly the suspension of the rigor of the Law with grace and mercy (see 8.3.1.1 Grace). Indeed, for the elect, grace has taken precedence over the penalties of the law. Romans 5:20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but 606
where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] our Lord. Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus [Yahushua messiah]. Furthermore, another explanation is the distinction between the law of Moses and its precepts which Yahushua was referring to, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the law of priesthood and temple of which Paul confirmed the change. Thus, not a single iota of the law has been removed from the law but certain applications have been temporarily suspended during the current era following Yahushua's sacrifice. Among others, the spiritual application of the law is complementing the physical initial application of the law. In other words, the spirit of the law has been added to the letter of the law. These new applications and suspensions are clearly explained in the new testament. Those who add or make other changes which are not clearly decreed in the Bible, will be subject to the applicable penalty. Revelation 22:18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, Creator Father will add to him the plagues described in this book, Here are thus some new applications and/or suspensions introduced by the new covenant during this current era: 1) Instead of tables of stone, the law is written in the hearts and spirits of human beings, making them capable of observing the law by means of the Holy Spirit. 2) The priesthood of Melchisedek was added over the Levites and takes precedence over the levitical priesthood which is removed from office during this current era 3) The single building of the former physical temple has been destroyed and replaced by the temple formed by the physical bodies of the numerous elect living on earth with the Holy Spirit 4) The animal sacrifices are replaced during the current era by the sacrifices of the elect who give their life 5) The application of the rigour of the law has been suspended and replaced by grace which allows all to receive the forgiveness as soon as they repent by accepting Yahushua's sacrifice 607
6) Sin is extended beyond the physical acts to include also the intentions and the thoughts developed in wickedness 7) The new Passover meal instituted by Yahushua on the night of the 14th day of the 1st month is substituted to the meal of lamb of the night of the 15th day. As regards the applications of the law during the millenium, if there were still questions, everything will clearly be established by Yahushua and the saints (see 11.6 The Millenial Paradise). __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________

9.0 YHVH's Calendar In the beginning, our Creator Father created His first son called the Word in an unknown time when time and space were created (see 6.1 The Word and 4.2.2 In the Beginnings). Furthermore, science recognizes the concept of time-space as a still mysterious medium in which the entire universe is contained. However, it is only in the beginning of the seven days of Genesis 1 that we see time being counted in YHVH's calendar, even without the sun in the sky (see Diagram 4.3.2 Days of Adam). Genesis 1:1 In the beginning El created the heaven and the earth. ...5 And El called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. In Genesis 1, the first 3 days were counted and marked without the luminaries in the sky in the first week of creation which was the first week of the first year in YHVH's calendar. We must therefore acknowledge the existence of a celestial calendar or clock to count the first 3 days (see 9.05 The Celestial Calendar). From the creation of the luminaries on the 4th day, the days were then counted and marked with the sun which is an added clock to the existing celestial clock. Neither the first week or time has been split by the creation of the sun. The Calendar that our Creator Father has established for counting time will be discussed below with its components: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)
the the the the the the
days weeks months seasons years jubilees, etc.
Among the luminaries created, the following verse of the Book of Jubilees says that the sun is the great sign which determines all divisions of the time. Genesis 1:14 El said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Jubilees 2:8. And on the fourth day He created the sun and the moon and the stars, and set them in the firmament of the heaven, to give light upon all the earth, and to rule over the day and the night, and divide the light from the darkness. 9. And Father Creator appointed the sun to be a great sign on the earth for days and for sabbaths and for months and for feasts and for years and for sabbaths of years and for jubilees and for all seasons of the years. 609
According to this verse, the moon has no use to determine the days and the Sabbaths, unlike the lunar calendar promoted by modern Judaism and their particular interpretation of the Bible. The Bible gives mainly dates for the observance of the feasts and for some events in the Creator Father's calendar but few details of its precise structure are found except for the following: 1) the day is defined at sunset (see 9.1) 2) the cycle of the week has seven days (see 9.2) 3) there are 12 months in the year (see 9.3) 4) calendar begins at the time of green ears (see 9.4) 5) the year cycle is 7 years (see 9.5) 6) the Jubilee cycle is 49 years (see 9.6) For the rest, the imperfect and sometimes indistinct translations of the Bible leave the reader in uncertainty as for the details of the calendar. For the months, we find the use of general terms and the word chodesh (02320), translated most of the times (200) as month but a few times (20-26), as new moon for no apparent reasons. In particular, this latter term is responsible for the belief that the lunar conjunction is the monthly basis of YHVH's calendar by certain religious associations. The pagan Babylonian lunar calendar was promoted by the Jewish Pharisees after Yahushua's sacrifice. The lunar calendar has been adopted by many associations in the last days, regardless that the authority of the Jewish Pharisees was rejected by Yahoushua (see 9.04 Its Concealment). The Book of Jubilees reveals YHVH's calendar. Jubilees 6:28. And all the days of this commandment are fifty-two sabbaths of days, and the whole year is completed. 29. Thus it is engraved and ordained in the tablets of heaven, and there is no transgression from one year to another. And thou command the children of Israel that they should observe the years in this number, three hundred and sixty-four days, and the year shall be complete and the fixed date of their days and their festivals shall, not be corrupted, for every thing transpires in them according to their testimony; and they [Israel] shall not miss a day or corrupt a festival. Evidently, YHVH's calendar and the books of Enoch and Jubilees, have been hidden after Yahushua's resurrection, just as the true disciples have been persecuted, hunted ans even killed. These books are generally rejected par the main religious circles. Jubilees 1:14. And they will forget all my law and all my 610
commandments and all my judgment, and they will err in reference to new moons and sabbaths and festivals and jubilees and ordinances. Jubilees 6:36. And on this account I command thee and testify to thee that thou shouldst testify to them, for after thy death thy children will corrupt, so that they make a year only three hundred and sixty-four days, ' and on this account they will err as to new moons and sabbaths and fixed times and festivals and will ever eat blood with all kinds of flesh. Jubilees 6:34. And there will be those who will make observations of the moon, for this one [the moon] corrupts the stated times and comes out earlier each year by ten days. 35. And in this way they will corrupt the years and will observe a wrong day as the day of testimony and a corrupted festival day, and every one will mix holy days with unclean ones and unclean with holy ; for they will err as to months and sabbaths and festivals and jubilees. It should be noted that the same word translated as new moon is found in the Book of Jubilees but where we discover a meaning other than the lunar conjunction. In addition, the apostasy of the prophecies mentioned above also relate to the Sabbath day, ie the 7 th day weekly Sabbath. According to this prophecy, even the 7th day Sabbath would be lost and forgotten by the children of Israel (see 10.1.1 Sabbath Found Again). How is this possible? By applying the correct sequence according to the rules passed on by Enoch, it becomes possible to establish the precise sequence of the days of the calendar with their correspondence in the Gregorian calendar. This present work reflects this recent revelation to establish the dates of the feasts of Father Creator YHVH according to His calendar (see 10.14 Dates of Solemnities). In contrast to human laws and traditions and the worldly popular festivals, the annual feasts of our Father Creator must still be observed today by His elect according to His calendar. This is why it is important to know His original calendar if we want to obey to our Father Creator and give Him honor by keeping His annual feasts. You will find in the following sections, the various elements and biblical definitions of Calendar Creator and Father how to count time.

9.01 Diagram The Chart 1 below illustrates YHVH's annual calendar to be determined from instructions found in the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees and the Dead Sea Scrolls. This 364-day calendar was developed according to the rules derived from the inspired texts, logic and coherence with its layout in the current cycle of about 365.242 days. In the current cycle, a single rule of Enoch instructions reamain to determine the 364-day cycle: the last and 364 th calendar day must be the day of the equinox. The effect of this rule requires to insert as needed 1 or 2 blank days after the day of equinox to begin the 364 day calendar so that the following 364-day cycle also ends on the day of the equinox (see Rules 9.02). We need simply to subtract 363 days from the date of the next March equinox.
612
9.02 Rules Here below is a summary of the rules for determining YHVH's annual calendar. These rules are drawn and deduced from the instructions found in the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees and texts from the Dead Sea Scrolls. It seems that the earth cycle was 364 days before the flood and has changed to about 365.242 days after the flood (see 9.08 Original Cycle of 364 days). However, notwithstanding this change, today we can and must observe the 364-day calendar as revealed to Enoch. Through revelations from our Father Creator, here are the latest rules for setting the first day of the year. These rules better reflect the Enoch's main instruction, ie, the day of spring equinox is the 364th and last day of YHVH's calendar. 1) YHVH's calendar is a 364-day year cycle called the full year comprising 12 months of 30 days and 4 additional days called intercalary days of remembrance. The full year consisted of 52 weeks (52 X 7 = 364). The 4 intercalary days are incorrectly translated as new moons in the modern translations but they should be translated as new months as heads of months. The term new moon leads people into the error of the Babylonian lunar calendar. 2) The 12 months are grouped into 4 partitions or seasons of 91 days each (4 X 91 = 364) which include three months of 30 days and 1 intercalary day placed at the head of the partition (day 1 of 91). 3) Each partition totalizes 91 days (1+ 3 X 30 = 91), which form 13 weeks (7 X 13 = 91) 4) The 12 months of 30 days form the regular year of 360 days which excludes the 4 intercalary days. Each intercalary day holds its place at the head of the 4 partitions in the full year but is not counted in the ordinary year of 360 days. Thus, an intercalary day is never added to a month to make a 31-day month. 5) The 4 intercalary days are inserted before the 1 st month (the first partition or season and fourth gate), before the 4 th month (in the 2nd partition or season and sixth gate), before the 7th month (in the third partition or season and 3 rd gate) and before the 10th month (in the 4th partition or season and 1st gate) of the full year (see 9.4.03 Gates of Enoch). These four days were marked later by 4 days by Noah as days of remembrance concerning the flood. 6) The basic rule of any valid calendar is to remain synchronized with the seasons of the earth. This is the rule of the equinox passed on by Enoch which is still applicable with or without a change in the Earth's cycle from 364 to 365.242 days. The day of the real equinox in Jerusalem (day equals night, about 12 hours) is always the pivotal day of the annual cycle of the calendar because thanks to it, the last day of the calendar is determined (see 9.4.2 The Equinox in Jerusalem). 7) The first day of the calendar annual cycle is set after the date of the actual equinox in Jerusalem according to Enoch's instructions. The first day of the year 613
is not the next day following the equinox because of the changed cycle to 365.242 days. The first day of the 364 day year of is set so that its 364 th and last day falls on the day of the following real equinox. So we need to insert 1 or 2 blank days after the date of the actual equinox. After the blank day(s), the 1 st intercalary day in the first partition and the fourth door is the first day of the full year so that the 364th day of the annual cycle will be the day of the following equinox (see 9.3.2 The 4 Intercalary Days). Thus, in accordance with Enoch's instructions, the last day which is the 364th day, is actually the day of the equinox. The deficit between the 364-day cycle and the cycle of 365.242 days is filled with the blank day(s) added between the end of a year (equinox day, day 364 of 364) and the beginning of the following year (day 1 of 364). In any case, this equinox day is the last day of the annual cycle of the calendar (day 364 of 364). When, before the flood, the earth's cycle was exactly 364 days, the last day and 30th day of the 12th month, was always the day of the March equinox in Jerusalem. Thus, the calendar and the Earth cycle were perfectly concurrent before the flood. 8) In the earthly cycle of 365.242 days, the day of the March equinox in Jerusalem is always the turning point in the calendar as it indicates the end of the calendar. Because of the apostasy prophesied for the 7 th day Sabbath in the Book of Jubilees, the question now arises concerning the weekday. Should we observe the continuity of the Gregorian calendar in the weekly cycle of Enoch? Does the 364-day cycle begin on a fixed day of the week as in the beginning or should we observe the sequence of the Gregorian week? Must the annual calendar begin with a fixed weekday as it was in the beginning, on the first day of the week (Sunday)? There is no statement in the Book of Enoch or the Book of Jubilees, which sets the beginning of the calendar on a particular day of the week. However, we find the specific details in the texts of the Dead Sea Scrolls. If these texts are from genuine and faithful observers of YHVH's calendar, we have specific answers to these questions (see 2.3.1.2 Manuscripts Calendar - Qumran). These texts place the 1st day of the 1st month on the 4th day of the week. In addition, from text fragments 4Q394, the sequence of Sabbath days is given for several months in a 364-day sequence assumed to be constant and repetitive. In other words, we would find every 7 th day Sabbath always on the same dates across the 364 days. In this case, we would also find all the feasts on the same days of the week year after year. The question of the continuity of the weekly cycle of the pagan Gregorian calendar is important but is not essential in Enoch's calendar. This question can not be resolved by the wisdom of man but only from revelations from our Father Creator. If the first day of the annual 364-day cycle is the third day of the week according to the Qumran texts and if the 364 th and last day would be the day of equinox, it follows that Enoch's weekly cycle is established depending on the day of the equinox only, regardless of the Gregorian weekly cycle. In this case, the weekly cycle of Enoch's 364 day cycle is not connected to the Gregorian cycle. So the 7th day Sabbath in Enoch's calendar is established independently from the 614
Gregorian weekly cycle and from the Gregorian Saturdays (Sabbath of modern Judaism). Each year, we must establish a correspondence between the two calendars. For example, for 2016, the 7 th day Sabbath in YHVH's calendar corresponds to the Gregorian Tuesday (see 10.1.1 Newly Found Sabbath). 9) The correct etymological definition of the equinox describes a day in which the period of direct sunlight is equal to night time. The illuminated part of the day is between sunrise and sunset (see 9.1 The Day). The so-called global equatorial equinox is defined as the exact time that the sun center crosses the ecliptic plane of the Earth's equator. This is simply not an equinox because at that precise moment, the day is not equal to the night, nor at the equator nor at any other place on the planet (see 4.9.01 Equinox - Definition) . The use of the word equinox in this case is simply insidious and wrong and therefore does not match Enoch's descriptions. We must use the actual equinox day in Jerusalem to determine our Creator Father's calendar and not an incorrect human equinox. The date of the true equinox in Jerusalem usually happens on March 16 but must should be validated each year. 10) The first day of Enoch's 364-day calendar is determined from the day of the real equinox in Jerusalem. Eventually, it is possible that another method may be developed later to get the same result from past dates instead of the projected futur date of the equinox. For now, we need simply subtract 363 days from the Gregorian date of the real projected equinox date. The corresponding Gregorian date is the 1st day of the year of Enoch's calendar, an intercalary day of remembrance. In Enoch's calendar, regardless of the Gregorian weekday, this 1 st day of the year is the third day of the week according to the Qumran manuscripts (see 2.3.1.2 Manuscripts Calendar). So, for example, if the 3 rd day in Enoch's week corresponds to a certain day in the Gregorian week on the equinox day, it is easy to determine what Gregorian day is the seventh day Sabbath according to Enoch simply adding 4 days. For example, for 2016, the day of the following equinox is Thursday, March 16, 2017. By subtracting 363 days from that date of equinox, the first day of the annual calendar is Friday, March 18, 2016. By adding four days to that week day (Friday + 4 days), the 7 th day Sabbath corresponds to the Gregorian Tuesday. 11) In the interpretation of all the ancient texts, a controversy exists as to the position of the 4 intercalary days in relation to the 4 partitions. Some scholars and followers of Enoch's calendar put these 4 days at the end of the 4 partitions, calling them 31th days of the third month of each partition or season. The other interpretation, favored in this work, puts these four days ahead of the 4 partitions or seasons, the day before the first month, the day before the 4 th month, the day before the 7th month and the day before 10th month. In this case, if the first day of the first month is the 4 th day of the week, then the first day of the year is the first intercalary day which falls according to the Qumran texts, on the 3 rd day of the week. This position of the four intercalary days is shown by Bernard Barc in Table 2 of his book The Bible chronology from Adam to the death of Moses, An Interpretive Essay (pp 215-226.).

9.03 Calendar's Origin Where does the calendar come from and how was it put in function and developed from the beginning until our days? How were the diverse elements of the calendar implemented and applied? We discover that the Bible gives only certain general elements of the calendar. However, it is only in the books of Enoch and of Jubilees, and more recently, in the Dead Sea Scrolls that we really find the details of YHVH's calendar. Indeed, texts found at Qumran give additionnal details of our Father Creator's calendar. An overview of the sources and details of the calendar is presented below according to the elements mentioned in the following verse. Jubilees 2: ... And Father Creator stablished the sun as a great sign over the earth and for days and for sabbaths and for months and for festivals and for years and for jubilees and for all seasons of the years,... In the Bible, it is from Noah that specific dates are provided with a day and a month. From that time, it is clear that Noah knew our Father Creator's real calendar. We now understand that Noah had received the instruction books of YHVH's calendar from his great-great grandfather Enoch. From those ancient times, it is only in recent decades that the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees resurfaced and were made available to the public and researchers of Truth. It is in these books that the Father Creator's calendar is explained in detail. In addition, more recently, text translations of manuscripts discovered in Qumran, near the Dead Sea, are also made available. In these manuscripts, there are other more comprehensive details about the 364-day calendar used by alleged sects obedient to the Father Creator. NO ELEMENTS .

THE DAYS
The beginning of the day is determined at Gen. the time of sunset. At the next moment, it is 9.1 the beginning of the next day. Day
THE SABBATHS
The 7th day Sabbath was established at the very beginning by Father Creator after sunset on the 6th day. In slavery in Egypt, the Israelites had lost the observance of the Sabbath. After their exodus from Egypt, the 10.4 Israelites received the knowledge of the The Sabbath from the angel YHVH through the Sabbath manna which fell only 6 days. Only the double portion of manna of the 6 th day could be preserved for the following Sabbath day whereas the other days, the simple portion of manna became infected if

kept. The 7th day Sabbath was only given to the Israelites and not to the other nations.
THE WEEKS
The 7 day week was established from the 1st week of creation in Genesis 1 with the establishment of the 7th day Sabbath rest. Later, the week was shown to the Israelites by the angel YHVH using the Sabbath and the manna. Since then, the 7 day week was 9.2 imposed to the world by through the The Week Gregorian. In the last days, our Creator Father is revealing His 7th day Sabbath. The Beast system has successfully hidden or changed Father Creator's calenar, even the 7th day Sabbah.

THE MONTHS
Contray to popular beliefs, the Biblical calendar is not determined from the lunar conjunctions. The months are determined according to a fixed annual sequence of 12 9.3 months of 30 days revealed to Enoch. The The Month beginning of this sequence was also revealed to Moses by the angel YHVH before the exodus from Egypt during the season of green ears (in March).

The solemnities are revealed in the Bible in a relatively clear way. Each of the THE solemnities is fixed in the annual calendar 10. YHVH's FEASTS by the day and the month of observance. Solemnitie (SOLEMNIT Each day of solemnity begins at sunset s IES) according to the day definition. In this role, the sun is fundamental for each day of solemnity.

The year may receive several definitions in the scientific domain: equinoctial, sidereal, tropic, etc. The Bible does not define exactly when the year begins. For the calendar, we receive detailed revelation in the Book of Enoch. The annual cycle of the calendar begins after the day of the March equinox in 9.01 THE YEARS Jerusalem with the addition of blank days. Diagram The year consists of 12 months of 30 days 9.02 Rules and 4 intercalary days arranged according to a fixed annual sequence which is applied from this 1st day of the year. It is from the sun only that we can determine this day of equinox. The lunar cycle has no utility in this determination.

The sabbatical year, like the 7 th day Sabbath rest, is the annual rest of the earth in the 7th year of a week of years. To determine the sabbatical cycle of the earth, we do not THE know the astronomical celestial signs yet. SABBATICA Like the 7th day Sabbath, we must count L YEARS years from a revealed reference year to determine this cycle and the 7th year. Today, we do not know with certainty that reference year. The year 27 CE was established from Yahushua's ministry.

9.5 The Land Cycle and its Sabbath
THE JUBILEES
The 49 year jubilee cycle is confirmed in the Bible and the Book of Jubilees. This cycle is formed of 7 weeks of years, that is, of 49 9.6 years. The 50th year is the year of jubilee The Jubilee which is also the 1st year of the following 49 year cycle. The year is determined by the sun's equinox in Jerusalem.
THE SEASONS OF YEARS
Although the Bible mentions only 2 seasons, winter and summer, Enoch's calendar divides the year in 4 earthly seasons between the 4 intercalary days. Winter ends 9.4.4 on the day of the March equinox from the The position of the sun. The biblical season of Seasons winter is determined by the fixed sequence of 12 months which, curiously, begins with the September equinox near the Day of Atonement.

9.04 Its Concealment There are a number of non biblical calendars in the world today, the most notable being the Gregorian calendar in use all over the world. Indeed, the Gregorian calendar which was adopted by almost all civilized nations since 1582 CE, is a human invention from Julius Ceasar in 46 BCE. A minor correction of that calendar to reduce the drifting seasons was implemented by Catholic Pope Gregory in 1582 CE. The Gregorian calendar is a pagan Roman calendar and is unbiblical. If we examine the other pseudo-religious calendars, there are some calendars which are presented as being biblical. Among the most popular, let us mention the man-made luni-solar calendar used by modern Judaism and sometimes attributed to the rabbi Hillel. This pagan lunar calendar has served to inspire some religious associations to develop their more or less perfected version regardless that the Pharisees authorities were rejected by Yahushua (see 9.04 Its Concealment). Logically, should anyone follow them? Matthew 26:59 Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death; John 8:40 but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.... 44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. As several doctrines and biblical concepts, the texts of the Bible are not sufficiently precise to clearly define a calendar. In that case, we could logically conclude that Father Creator did not want to describe it enough as to hide it from the nations of the world. As mentioned already, the knowledge of the true calendar is essential to know the real solemn days to observe in honor of our Father Creator. As a consequence, our Father Creator also hid His calendar from the world in general and reveals it in the last days to His elect who must continue to learn. If they were all born in modern Babylon, they must all also come out of it and continue to reject all errors by growing in knowledge and in grace. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah]. To him is the glory, now and for eternity! Amen! 621
It is evident that the knowledge of Father Creator's name just like the knowledge of His calendar, are based on faith and on the personal revelation from our Father Creator. That is why the adoption of the true doctrines and the observance of Father Creator's true solemn days are reserved for the elect. In spite of the objection of all those who keep another calendar or other doctrines, Father Creator alone opens the eyes of whom He wants, when He wants. Thus, until the day when He decides or will decide to open our eyes, we will remain blind, partially or completely. In contrast to the world in general which is blinded to the doctrines and the laws of our Father Creator, the elect see but still partially. 1 Corinthians 13:12 Today we see by means of a mirror, in a dark way, but then, we shall see face to face; today, I know partially, but then I shall know as I was known. Is it not then expected and even desired that we continue to learn and to correct certain beliefs? On the contrary, would it not be suspect and even worrysome if our understanding of the Bible and our creed did not change a single iota nor a line for several years? That is the case of numerous so-called religious associations in the world that refuse to change and to correct their creed in the light of the Bible or of logic or of coherence.
9.05 The Celestial Calendar From the very beginning, time was counted, even before the creation on the fourth day of the astral clock formed by the sun. Most evidently, the first 3 days of Genesis 1 were counted and identified using an existing system, a calendar or a clock which may be considered as celestial in the sense that it originated in the heavens where the angels were created. Genesis 1:5 And El called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.... 8 And God [Ulhim] called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.... 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. From the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees, we have received the revelation of YHVH's annual calendar of 364 days (see 9.01 Diagram and 9.02 Rules). Furthermore, we received Enoch's instructions as if the earthly annual calendar corresponded exactly to the celestial calendar with the same coincident 364 day annual cycle. However, taking into account the duration of 1260 days (3.5 X 360) mentioned in the Bible, is it possible that the celestial timetable is only 360 days? In the present age, this can not be fully known. In the present age, we must observe the Earthly calendar of 364 days revealed by Enoch. At first glance, the beginning of the 364 day calendar was the first day of the week of Genesis 1. However, according to the texts from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the beginning of the calendar year is not the first day of the week. Has this change occurred after the flood? We can not know it for the moment but after the flood, 622
we assume that the earthly cycle was changed to almost 365.242 days as we currently see. Therefore, the terrestrial calendar fell out of sync in relation to the celestial calendar which continues unchanged and faithfully to measure time. Logically, we can assume that the celestial calendar has continued with the same precision to count the days according to the celestial reality and to the real time, separately from the disordered astral clock of the sun. Can we imagine the simultaneous existence of 2 calendars, a celestial calendar for the faithful angels and a earthly calendar for the inhabitants of the earth? Obviously, we must observe the calendar which we can determine from the angel Uriel's clear instructions to Enoch. These instructions have established a single point of reference which still remains, in spite of the possible change in the annual earthly cycle from 364 to 365.242 days. This unique point is the day of the real equinox in Jerusalem which sets the last day of the annual calendar cycle. If we did observe a 364 day calendar without intercalation in an earthly cycle of 365.242 days, the solemnities would drift through the seasons every 256 years. We would come to keep Passover in the middle of winter. Besides, it is possible to calculate the approximate time gap which has accumulated between the two calendars since the great flood. Indeed, we can calculate a realistic order of magnitude of this time gap using the difference between the two cycles, that is 364 days exactly versus approximately 365.2422 days. The great flood took place in the year of creation 1662 AM (see 4.3.3.1 Chronology). The subsequent difficulty is to connect the year of creation with our year count in the modern calendar. This difficulty is reflected in the numerous variances of dates found from different authors. For our present need, we will assume the date of the great flood to be 2302 BCE. The results obtained will, therefore, be only approximate. From the year 2302 BCE, the time gap began to accumulate at the rate of about 1.2422 days per year (365.2422 days minus 364 days). For example, in 2016, the time passed since the great flood is 2304 + 2016 = 4320 years. During this period of time, the annual cycles of the earthly calendar took on an annual lateness of 1.2422 X 4320 = 5366.304 days, that is about 14.7 years (5366.304 / 364). From the year 0, we count 2503 days (2016 X 1.242) or 6.85 years (2503/365.2422). Thus, we must add 6.85 or 7 years to the actual year count. According to this concept, the year 2016 in this earthly calendar would correspond to the rounded year 2023 (2016 + 7 = 2023) in the celestial calendar. We are facing the possibility that the Jubilee would be reckoned in the celestial calendar years. Although these results are approximate only, this concept could move us in a surprising way closer to the next earthly jubilee of 2036 (see 9.9. Actual Years). For example, in 2016, we believed we had to wait 20 years until the next jubilee in 2036 and Yahushua's possible return. Suddenly, we are facing a much shorter period of time. The concept of Father Creator shortening the days is taking a surprising turn.
623
Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
9.06 The Gregorian Calendar It is important to know that the Gregorian calendar comes from the calendar established by Julius Caesar before the birth of Yahushua. The months and days of week are named for characters and / or heathen gods. It should be clear that this is a completely pagan calendar that was adopted by the Roman Catholic Church in 1582. At that time, this calendar had 10 days late compared to the equatorial equinox and Pope Gregory made a patch to reset the calendar in synchronization with the seasons. He just added 10 to the current date without breaking the continuity of the weekly cycle. The current year of the Gregorian calendar was also designated according to a particular calculation. For example, 2016 is thus designated as 2016 years after the birth of the Messiah who was, according to the Gregorian calculation in the year 0. However, it was later discovered that this calculation was erroneous because Messiah was born 4 or 5 years before. We would actually rather be in 2020 or 2021 after Yahushua's birth year according to a more accurate calculation. Pope Gregory had used his authority to impose this calendar the whole world. Despite some reluctance of some nations, eventually, the world came to use this calendar. We can now associate this pagan world calendar with the prophecies of Daniel announcing a man who will seek to change times and laws. Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down and crush. 24 The ten horns are ten kings that shall arise from this kingdom. Another shall rise after them, it will be different from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. The Julian Day is a practical mathematical formula to calculate the Julian and Gregorian past and future dates (see 9.11.01 Julian Day). We call proleptic the calendar calculated for years prior to its creation. Astronomers use this calculation for past dates. Formulas exist to convert Julian dates to Gregorian dates and vice versa. 624
625
9.07 Ancient Monuments Various ancient monuments have been found that are oriented with the equinoxes and / or built to specifications of the calendar. It is remarkable that the supposedly Mayan pyramid Kukulkan at Chichen Itza in Mexico high of 30 m has its 4 faces oriented at the equinoxes and solstices. Even more remarkable is the number of 91 steps of each of the four staircase going up to the platform at the top. Curiously, this number corresponds to the 4 partitions 91 days of Enoch's calendar. In addition, there would be 52 panels in its construction. One is tempted to associate these values with YHVH's calendar and the 91 days for each of the 4 partitions or seasons, its 52 weeks and 30-day months. Apparently, the builders of the pyramid knew some values in YHVH's calendar revealed by Enoch.
9.08 The Original 364 Day Cycle The description of the celestial movements made by Enoch seems to correspond exactly to 364 calendar days. Enoch clearly describes the sunrises and the sunsets through the portals on the horizon to finally terminate the year with the 364th day which is a real equinox when night equals daylight. Enoch clearly describes celestial and terrestrial astronomical movements. The duration of this cycle is clearly of 364 days. Enoch 42. The night continues to decrease, it contains only nine games as much as the day when there is a tie between one and the other; the year is at its three hundred and sixty-fourth day. According to a simple reading of the text, the above verse describes an astronomical phenomenon, not a calendar consisting of various artificial elements. The above mentioned term year likely means the terrestrial cycle of 364 days. In addition, the following verses use the same year term to describe the composition of the calendar that is 364 jours. Enoch 74: 1. here are the leaders and rulers that govern all creation, all the stars and the four intercalary days added to complete the year. 2. They need these four days, which are not of the year. 3. Men are mistaken respectively on those days; because you have to relate to these fixtures to realize, since one is inserted at the first gate, the second to the third, one in the fourth, and the last to sixth. 4. Thus is completed the number of three hundred sixty to four positions, which form as many days. These are the 626
signs: 5. seasons. 6. années. The above verses in particular describe the four intercalary days in the celestial motion by specifying the positions of these four days that correspond to a specific position in the various portals of passage of the sun over the horizon. So we have a correspondence that link these positions to the earthly cycle. Literally, the 364-day calendar seems concurrent with the earthly cycle of 364 days. The most important is the fact that these four days are added to complete the year of 364 days. If the earthly cycle was 365 days, would not 5 days be added to complete the year and not 4 days? With this one more point, it becomes clear that the earthly cycle of 364 days described by Enoch corresponded exactly to the 364-day calendar. A different conclusion would seem quite illogic. Moreover, if the earthly cycle is currently of about 365.242 days, it is very plausible that the flood caused this change. We must realize the magnitude of this flood which involved a large displacement of water bodies in the heavens, on earth and in the earth Genesis 7:11 the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the sources of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nuits. The windows of heaven might correspond to a body of water that completely and continuously surrounded the Earth as a spherical ice cover of a certain thickness. This layer could filter the sun's rays which are known to increase aging of the skin. This could explain why men before the flood could live beyond 900 years. After the flood, human life has been reduced to less than 200 years (see 4.3 Chronology of Creation). Today, the human life span is much lower. In conclusion, although the original earthly cycle was concomitant to the 364 day calendar, we are seeing an earthly cycle of about 365.242 days. Given the gap between this cycle and the 364-day calendar, we must find the method to properly observe the calendar. This is the challenge and duty which the elect of the last days must perform. As Enoch, it is not from our own intelligence nor wisdom that we will discover it but from the revelation of the Creator Father (see 9.4.06 Methods of Intercalation).
627
9.1.0 The Day Biblicaly and lawfully, it is important to know at which precise moment the day begins and when it ends. Indeed, to correctly observe the Sabbath day and the solemn days without profaning them, we must stop doing servile work before the Sabbath day begins. We must also wait until the Sabbath day is fully ended before beginning to work or doing other forbidden activities. The human worldly convention to start the day at midnight is completely arbitrary and non-biblical. Thus, from the beginning, our Father Creator YHVH had set the sun in motion to separate the day (light) from the night (darkness) and to mark time. Thus, the day is divided in 2 parts: the light (from the sun) and the darkness (from absence of the sun). Genesis 1:14 And God [Ulhim] said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so. 16 And El made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also. 17 And El set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And El saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening [ereb 06153] and there was morning [01242], a fourth day. Jubilees 2: 7 And on the fourth day he made the sun . and moon and stars and placed them in the firmament of heaven that they should shine over the earth and to rule over day and night and to divide between night and day and between darkness and light. 8. And Father Creatorstablished the sun as a great sign over the earth and for days and for sabbaths and for months and for festivals and for years and for jubilees and for all seasons of the years, 9. And he shall divide between light and darkness and for prosperity that all things that sprout and grow on earth may prosper. From the actual translations, it is not always possible to receive the correct understanding for certain doctrines and concepts. Human logic will not always give the correct answer. In some cases, we must receive the correct interpretation from a direct revelation from Father YHVH. It is revealed in the Bible that sunset should be used as the end of the day. Because of the incorrect translations, some true doctrines are well hidden and can only be received through revelations. This is the conclusion of this present author. Where can we find in the Bible verses that would confirm it ? How can sunset be the end and the beginning of a day ? What did Yahushua say about it ? 628
John 11:9 Yahushua answered, Are there not twelve hours [horah] in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world [2889 kosmos physical creation]. We can interprete from this verse that there is sufficient sun light during the day for a man to walk without stumbling. Until sunset, the day has direct sun light and it certainly gives enough light to not stumble. After sunset, the light will diminish to levels which may limit the visibility and cause a man to stumble on some unseen object or hole in the ground. In fact, if the earth had no atmosphere, total darkness would begin at sunset. Thus, the atmosphere reflects indirect sunlight and illuminates the ground almost one full hour before darkness. Also, we find a verse that confirms the 12 hour working day, that is, during daylight. Matthew 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why stand you here all the day idle? Matthew 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. It is assumed that the men hired last worked part of the 11 th hour and most of the 12th hour (see 9.1.1 Day Hours). They may have returned home after sunset during the civil twilight which is sufficient to walk but not always sufficient to work. The use or mention of the 12 divisions of the day or horah by Yahushua seem to confirm our present day use of the 12 hour daylight and 12 hour night time. For example, we do have exactly 12 hours of direct sun light on the day of the local equinox in March (see 9.4.2.3 Real Equinox Dates). Using anything other than the sunset as the day end/beginning will not allow a real equinox in March. Through the whole year, according to the latitude of the location, the daylight period varies and is maximum in June and minimal in December. Although Enoch mentions 18 parts in a day in contrast to our 24 hour day or 24 parts day, we will use the 12 parts or horah system confirmed by Yahushua to establish the exact times in our observance of the feasts. This will be more familiar with our known system. Only if we need to keep some holy convocations on the 3rd or 9th hours will we need to calculate precise times in our modern system (see 9.1.2.0 The 3rd and 9th Hours).
629
9.1.1 Diagram
630
9.1.2 The 3rd and the 9th Hours We find in the New Testament mention of the 3 rd and 9th hours for important events such as the death of messiah and on the day of the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost). Mark 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. Matthew27: 46 And about the ninth hour Yahushua cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God [El], my God [El], why hast thou forsaken me? 50 Yahushua, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Acts 2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. Is there any importance to these hours in regard to the Laws of Father YHVH ? From a study of Scriptures, it may be found in particular that the 3 rd and 9th hours were the times at which sacrifices were done according to the Laws of Father YHVH in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, the law clearly required the sacrifices to be offered in the morning and the evening. We see this in 1Chr. 16:39 where the burnt offerings were required continually morning and evening, according to the law. We can also see the prayers being offered in morning and evening in Psa. 55:17 Psalm 55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. In the Old Testament, there were no clear indications concerning the exact hour of these morning and evening sacrifices as are mentioned in the New Testament. Indeed, in the New Testament, we can see indications which can be safely assumed as the true application of these legal requirements. In fact, the report of the death of messiah at the 9 th hour would be such an attestation. We can believe that he was killed as the Passover lamb according to the Laws of Father YHVH, showing the correct meaning of the expression 'between the evenings'. Whatever the Old Testament mentioned and prescribed for that Passover sacrifice, we can be confident that it was perfectly executed in the death of messiah. Can we can safely assume that, in fact, his death occurred at the time of the evening sacrifice, i.e. at the ninth hour, according to the Law because he was the perfect sacrifice in perfect accomplishment of the Law ? We must then recognize that the term ‘evening’ in this context, really means ‘afternoon’ according to our modern language and not the dark night as it has been given in various translations or other interpretations. We can also see the Holy convocation of the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) held at the third hour. Acts 2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. As we understand, not a detail of the Law has been abolished. 631
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. All the law is being applied continually but in a more spiritual way, yet without spiritualizing everything. The animal sacrifices have been replaced by Messiah’s sacrifice above all. Yet today, the law continues with the elect’s sacrifices in the giving of their lives as living stones. The elect are the body of Messiah in extended form. Some are indeed being killed as lamb unto slaughter as Messiah was. Romans 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. The Application of the Law in the Timing of the 3rd and 9th Hours How should we apply the law in regard to the morning and evening sacrifices today for the elect ? Does it even still apply since there are no more animal sacrifices ? Do these specific hours of the day still have a spiritual meaning today for us or any meaning at all ? We may question whether our personal prayers and any official holy convocations should be held at these hours. Some believers have decided to hold their meetings at 09h00 and 15h00 as substitutions or claiming or implying that these hours correspond to the 3rd and 9th hour. This article is written in objection to such a misleading statement. In fact, the 3rd and 9th hours do not always coincide with the traditional hours of 09h00 and 15h00. This will be shown here for many localities and at divers seasons of the year. It is simply an incorrect and misleading statement which needs clarification. Because many people misunderstood or ignored this information, it was necessary to verify this through the necessary calculations. One can determine exactly when these hours really occur, especially if some would claim to follow them or if one discovers that he should keep them as part of the Law. That conclusion is not part of this paper yet. This paper will supply the calculation method and some examples for a number of localities. As the sunset as the end of a day varies according to each specific locality, so does also the occurrence of the third hour and the ninth hour. As it will be shown, these hours vary according to our locality but also according to the Summer Saving hours being applied now through most of the northern countries. Most important, it will be shown that the 3 rd and 9th hours do not really correspond to the traditional hours of 09h00 and 15h00 in all places. On the one hand, people must not be mislead. On the other hand, people must prove all things, including the things that even some so-called churches and others have been teaching. The purpose of this paper and the proposed calculation method, are to clearly identify the hours of the day with its beginning and end.
632
9.1.2.1 Diagram - The 3rd and the 9th Hours The Basic Traditional View of the 09h00 and 15h00 hours Let us look at the basic application of the traditional hours of 09h00 and 15h00 and where they may have taken origin. The diagram below is the basic theory and approximation of Jerusalem where the day allegedly begins at 06h00 and ends at 18h00. In that theorical day, it can be seen how the 3 rd and 9th hours relate to the traditional hours of 09h00 and 15h00, in winter and summer. In Standard Time (winter), the 3rd hour begins at 08h00. The traditional 09h00 and 15h00 hours are one hour too late for both occurrences. This diagram shows the traditional view which was only a theory but apparently an incorrect application since the 3rd hour began at 08h00. We see that in summer, for Jerusalem, because of DST which adds one hour, we have an exact correspondence between the Biblical Morning and evening hours and the traditional hours of 09h00 and 15h00. Unfortunately, the traditional day is not real since sunset varies according to each locality and to the season of the year. Thus Sabbath varies according to local sunset. In the same way, the 3 rd and 9th hours vary locally. If the Elect were to follow Jerusalem time, everyone would begin Sabbath at 18h00 in winter and at 19h00 in summer, or at the real sunset time in Jerusalem, as it varies through the seasons of the year. That idea is absurd and we all begin Sabbath according to our local sunset. Why would we keep the 3 rd and the 9th hours according to Jerusalem ? It is possible to determine or obtain our local occurrence for the 3rd and 9th hours. If one wishes to keep those hours for observance of the law or for any other reasons, a method is proposed. Here is below the basic calculation method to determine the true 3rd and 9th hours locally.
633
9.1.2.2 Method to determine the 3rd hour and the 9th hour Here is a method to determine the 3rd hour and the 9th hour locally, in the eventuality of a legal biblical obligation to observe a solemnity. Do not forget to reajust according to the daylight saving time in your locality. 1) We must know for your locality the hour of sunrise (the hour of beginning = B) and the hour of the sunset (the hour of sunset = F). 2) We subtract the hour of sunset to the hour of sunrise ( F - B ) = D (Duration of daylight) 3) We divide this result by 12 ( D / 12) = H (value of a horah) 4) The 3rd hour begins at the time of B + 2 X H and ends at the time of B + 3 X H 5) The 9th hour begins at B + 8 X H and ends at B + 9 X H For example, on March 16th, 2014, the day of equinox in Jerusalem, the calculation is simple. 1) Sunrise is at 05:48 and sunset at 17:48 2) 17:48 - 05:48 = 12 hours 3) 12 hours / 12 = 1 hour 4) The 3rd hour begin at (05:48 + 2*1 hours) = 07:48 and ends at (05:48 + 3*1 hours) = 08:48 5) The 9th hour begin at (05:48 + 8*1 hours) = 13:48 and ends at (05:48 + 9*1 hours) = 14:48 __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________

9.1.3 The Light There is a particular concept concerning the light which is used to mark the day. In the beginning, the earth was apparently created in darkness before the creation of light. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God [El] created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God [El] moved on the face of the waters. Indeed, light was created immediately to mark the first day of 24 hours with a part darkness (night) and a part light (day). Genesis 1:3 and El said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And El saw the light, that it was good: and El divided the light from the darkness. 5 And El called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. Darkness was created at first. Isaiah 45:7 I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe, I am the LORD (YHVH), who do all these things. However, it is only from the 4th day that the sun was created and the days of 24 hours were marked on the earth with the light of the sun. We may then wonder how did the light created in the beginning mark the first 3 days? Can we imagine that the earth was already rotating and that another source of light marked the 3 days before the creation of the sun? At least, it is clearly the result which we see in the first verses of Genesis where the day is defined with a part darkness and a part light for each of the first 3 days. What was this light during the first 3 days ? Logically, this light which lighted the earth in the beginning would not be the Father Creator's light because no man can bear his light. Otherwise, would the Father Creator have made His light ceased to shine when the sun was created? The Father Creator rather prevents His light from shining on men not to destroy them completely. 1John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare to you, that Creator Father is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 Timothy 6:15 Which in his times he [Father Creator] shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord 635
[kurios 2962] of lords; 16 Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach to; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen. As surprising as it may appear, the Bible reveals to us that the light which lighted the earth to mark the first 3 days came from the first bearer of light, the angel who rebelled and who is now called Satan (see 6.5 Satan). Isaiah 14:12 How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer [01966 heylel, light bearer], son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! Following his rebellion and his casting out from heaven, he fell into darkness, physically and spiritually. We see in the Bible that the angels also have the power to illuminate from their presence like Satan did before. Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. The angel of YHVH had obviously this power of emitting light. He showed himself to Moses who became phosphorescent. Exodus 34 :29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him. Evidently, the son Yahushua, formerly the angel YHVH, was seen by Moses and by uncountable men without these being killed by the brightness of his light. The son YHVH thus has not this inapproachable light of the Father Creator. The light emitted from the Father Creator is different from the visible light emitted from the sun, the stars, etc. This light of the Father Creator is not visible to earthly men otherwise they would die from it. However, the faithful angels can see this light from the Father Creator and they are enlightened even to see in the darkness of earthly men. We could even imagine that this light of the Father Creator goes through the physical objects which cannot thus create shadows. This characteristic is coherent with the capacity of the Father Creator to see everything without limit, even through solid objects. So, nothing can be hidden from the sight of the Father Creator, where from His omniscience. That is why, without being omnipresent, Father Creator sees everything and knows everything. The concept of this pervasive light of the Father Creator is confirmed in the 636
following verses when all the men and the celestial creatures will be changed from corruptible to incorruptible and from mortal to immortal. Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of Creator Father did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. Revelation 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord [kurios 2962] Creator Father gives them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. Although the sun may continue to mark the days, months and years and to light the peoples and the creation, it will not be needed any more to light the holy city, Jerusalem. It will be lit from the glory of the Father Creator and from the lamb, His son, His lamp. In contrast, the fallen angels do not see any more this light of the Father Creator who enlightened them previously in all circumstances. Thus they are now in darkness, not able anymore to see any light without their physical body. That is why they take refuge in living bodies to find a little of comfort and to see through the faculties of these bodies. Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the great day.

9.2 The Week (August 29, 2016) The concept of the 7 day cycle of the week is well known by all. We find the cycle of 7 days in the Bible from the beginning in the story of creation. The week includes a 7th day after the 6 days of creation, a 7th day which was made into a memorial day of rest for creation but especially in honour of the Father Creator. Obviously, all His living beings obeyed this first Sabbath at the beginning. Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day El finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So El blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it El rested from all his work that he had done in creation. Exodus 20:11 For in six days YHVH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore YHVH blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. The cycle of the 7 day week was established from the beginning and is to continuous since then without any discontinuity. The biblical story in the wilderness which reports the commanding of the 7 th day Sabbath confirms this cycle where the manna fell during 6 days and not on the 7 th day (see Exodus 1:11-35). Apparently, it is possible that 7-day cycle had not been revealed to Israel before the manna was given. The word for week is 07620 shabuwa is defined as a period of 7 days or 7 years according to context. Deuteronomy 16:9 “You shall count seven weeks [07620 shabuwa]. Begin to count the seven weeks [07620 shabuwa] from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain. The word for week is 07620 shabuwa which is defined as a period of 7 days or of 7 years according to the context. Leviticus 23:15 "‘And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath [07676 shabbat], from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths [07676 shabbat] shall be complete. 16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days, and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto YHVH. We notice in verse 15 above that 7 weeks is equivalent to counting 7 Sabbath for a total of 49 days because verse 16 confirms that the day after the 7 th Sabbath is the 50th day. Any other interpretation of the week is thus excluded. The uninterrupted continuity of the cycles of the week of 7 years is identical in a given calendar year. Just like the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), the year of the 639
jubilee is the 50th year, that is, the year after 49 years or 7 weeks of 7 years. The 50th year is the year following the 7 th sabbatical year without insertion nor addition in the cycles of 7 years (see 9.6 The Jubilee). The 50 th year is also the 1st year of the following week of years, just like the Feast of Weeks is also the 1st day of the following week after 49 days. It is assumed that the uninterrupted continuity of the week would be lost by individuals who would be isolated on an island for a long time. This conclusion may be valid for those who reject or ignore the only True Creator YHVH's power. However, the people chosen by the Father Creator was always in contact with their intermediary, the angel YHVH. Moreover, it is this angel YHVH who gave to his people the 7th day Sabbath in the wilderness as the sign between him and his people (see 10.1 The Sabbath). It is still the same angel YHVH who showed to Moses which was the annual calendar by indicating to him the beginning of the year at the time of the green ears and the vernal equinox (see 9.4.3 The Year vs the Equinox). According to texts from Qumran, the continuity of the Gregorian 7-day cycle does not correspond to YHVH's true calendar. The Book of Enoch shows the 364 th and last day of the calendar as being the day of true equinox. Enoch 71:42 At that period the night becomes shortened. It is nine parts. And the night is equal with the day. The year is precisely three hundred and sixty-four days. In fact, the only element of Enoch's calendar that can still be observed in the current earthly cycle of 365.242 days is that day of the true equinox. To keep Enoch's calendar today, the difference of 1.242 days must be compensated between the 2 cycles with a method of intercalation drawn from this element. Thus, to make the 364th and last day of Enoch's calendar to fall on the day of the equinox each year, we must fix the beginning of the annual cycle of the calendar by inserting the required number of blank days after the day of real vernal equinox in Jerusalem (see 9.4.1 Which day starts the Calendar?) The weekly cycle in Enoch's calendar would then be set independently from the Gregorian weekly cycle every year after the day of the actual equinox. This method of intercalation compensates for the difference between the 364-day calendar cycle and the earthly cycle of 365.242 days keeping the calendar exactly in sync with the seasons (see 9.4.2.1 Methods intercalation). Each year, the 7 th day Sabbath in Enoch's calendar corresponds to a different day of the Gregorian week. Inside the cycle of 364 days of Enoch, the weekly cycle would be continuous and perpetual and different from the Gregorian cycle. Thus, according to the Qumran texts, the first day of Enoch's calendar is always a 3 rd day of the week, regardless of the Gregorian weekday. So during these 364 days, the 7 th day Sabbaths is always the same dates of 12 months, as revealed in the texts of the Qumran Scrolls found near the Dead Sea (see 10.1.1 The Newly Found Sabbath).

The following table shows the Gregorian weekly cycle and Enoch's cycle separate from each other. For example, in 2016, the day of the equinox in Jerusalem was on Wednesday (4th Gregorian day), March 16, 2016, while the weekday of the equinox in Enoch's calendar is always the 2 nd day without using the Gregorian pagan names of days. After inserting a blank day (Thursday 5 th Gregorian day, March 17 2016), the first day of Enoch's calendar falls on Friday March 18, 2016 but is always a 3rd day of the week in Enoch's cycle according to the Qumran texts (see 2.3.1.2 Calendar Scrolls). Unlike the scholars and the followers of Enoch's calendar who start the 364-day cycle on the first Gregorian Wednesday after the so-called worldly equinox, the Gregorian weekly cycle is ignored in the intercalation method deduced from the Qumran texts proposed in this book.

9.3 The Month According to a recent revelation, Father YHVH's calendar is described in the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees and the Dead Sea Scrolls (see 9.01 Diagram & 9.02 Rules). The book of Enoch describes YHVH's annual calendar as having 12 months of 30 days which form the ordinary year of 360 ordinary days. The full year of 364 days comprises these 12 months grouped in 4 partitions or seasons of 3 months each. Enoch's full year of 364 days is always the same and places all the solemn days on the same days of the week, year after year. Each partition comprising each 1 added intercalary day at the head of 3 months of 30 days translated as new moon which should be new month or head of months. We find confirmation in both New Testament and Old Testament that the year had/has 12 months. Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 1Kings 4:7 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision. Contrary to incorrect interpretations following incorrect Bible translations, the months of the biblical calendar are not determined according to the lunar conjunction (See 9.3.1 Neomenia and New Moon). In the Bible, the translated term new moon is a misnomer which makes believe in the lunar conjunction. However, according to ancient writings recently available, this term new moon should have been translated as new month or head of months which is the intercalary day described in the Book of Enoch (see 9.3.2 The 4 Intercalary Days). Before the flood, the lunar cycle was in harmony with the annual earthly cycle of 364 days. Certain cyclic alignments between the moon, the earth and the sun would possibly allow to identify or to situate certain periods of time in particular. However, the annual earthly cycle has changed to 365,242 days, most probably because of the flood (See 9.08 The Original Cycle of 364 Days). Thus, the lunar cycle and the earthly cycle are since then out of synchronisation. These lunar astronomical alignments would thus not be useful anymore in term of the biblical calendar although the moon always has its gravitational influence and other. The flood was caused by the sins of men and angels, so that since then the earth and the moon are out of sync witht the celestial calendar. The modern definition of the term new moon exclusively designates the lunar conjunction and the first day of the lunar cycle. This term, found in the modern translations of the Bible and the books of Enoch and of Jubilees, is incorrectly translated or interpreted. It is thus limited to this modern definition, from which issues the confusion in the interpretation of the Bible. As it will be demonstrated, this term designates also the intercalary day and not only the day of the lunar conjunction (see 9.3.1 Neomenia and the New Moon). We find the 2 uses of the 642
term new moon in the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees. We must therefore avoid confusing the use of the term and to distinguish it according to context. In the following verse, the designates the lunar conjunction. Enoch 77:12 and when she is illumined throughout, her light is accomplished full in the heaven. And on the first day she is called the new moon, for on that day the light rises upon her. Though the lunar cycle is recognized and defined, it should not be used as the main element of the calendar. In fact, it is strictly forbidden in the Book of Jubilees. Jubilees 6 :34 And there will be those who will make observations of the moon, for this one [the moon] corrupts the stated times and comes out earlier each year by ten days. 35. And in this way they will corrupt the years and will observe a wrong day as the day of testimony and a corrupted festival day, and every one will mix holy days with unclean ones and unclean with holy ; for they will err as to months and sabbaths and festivals and jubilees. In the book of Jubilees, the usage of the term new moon corresponds more often to the added intercalary day, also called the day of remembrance and days of seasons as follows. In the following verses the term new moon designates the intercalary day. Enoch 74 :1 These are the leaders of the chiefs of the thousands, those which preside over all creation, and over all the stars; with the four days which are added and never separated from the place allotted them, according to the complete calculation of the year. 2 And these serve four days, which are not calculated in the calculation of the year.
Jubilees 21:12 And at the new moon [head of month, intercalary day] of the first month, and in the new moon [head of month, intercalary day] of the fourth month, and in the new moon [head of month, intercalary day] of the seventh month,and in the new moon [head of month, intercalary day] of the tenth month are the days of remembrance and the days of the festivals in the four divisions of the years : written and ordained they are for a testimony until eternity. These verses above clearly describe the 4 intercalated days inserted before the 1st month, the 4th month, the 7th month and the 10th month into the 4 divisions (see 9.01 Diagram and 9.02 Rules). We can then deduct that any usage of the term new moon with each of these 4 months, indicates specifically the 4 intercalated days which are also the head of the months of a partition. Used with these 4 months, the term new moon does not indicate the day of lunar conjunction but rather the new month and the intercalary day. In the modern translations, all other use of the term new moon with the other 8 643
months would designate the lunar conjunction and not the 1 st day of the months in question. Jubilees 44:1 i. And Israel arose from Haran, from his house, at the new moon of the third month, Admittedly, the use in the Bible of the term new moon incites us to believe in using the lunar calendar and believe its use by the people of Israel because of its exclusive modern definition. However, as historians have shown, the lunar calendar was in use by other nations and by Babylon in particular. Thus, the calendar which has been revealed to Moses was the calendar according to Enoch was in use from that time. The confusion mainly comes from incorrect modern translations of the term new moon in the books of the Bible, in the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees. We do not have in hand reliable original texts to make a correct translation. We must discern the meaning of the term new moon depending on the context but more often it would refer the intercalary days at the 1st month, the 4th month, the 7th month and the 10th month. So, in modern translations of the Bible, the term new moon usually designates the intercalary day, as the head of the 3 months of each partition and not the lunar conjunction since there are no commanded solemnity on the day of lunar conjunctions. The 12 months of 30 days are always fixed in the same continuous sequence of 364 days without regard to the lunar cycle as shown in the diagram (see Diagram 9.01). The Book of Jubilees explains that the moon was created to give light while the sun has more functions such as the following verse confirms this. Jubilees 2:7. And on the fourth day he made the sun . and moon and stars and placed them in the firmament of heaven that they should shine over the earth and to rule over day and night and to divide between night and day and between darkness and light. 8. And God established the sun as a great sign over the earth and for days and for sabbaths and for months and for festivals and for years and for jubilees and for all seasons of the years,

9.3.1 Neomenia and New Moon According to a recent revelation, YHVH's calendar is described in the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees and the Dead Sea Scolls (see 2.3.1.2 Calendar Scrolls). In this calendar, there are 12 fixed months of 30 days to form an ordinary year of 360 days. In the full year, the 12 months are grouped into 4 partitions or seasons each containing 1 intercalary day added at the head of 3 months 30 days. Only through these books, we find that the term New Moon does not refer only to the lunar conjunction but more often to the new month or the head of month which is also an intercalary day, a day of partition and a day of remembrance. The Book of Jubilees clearly establishes the four intercalary days as holy days to observe following the flood. The days of lunar conjunctions were never enacted as holy days to observe nor as holy convocations (see 9.3.2 The 4 Intercalary Days). So we need to read again the Bible in light of this new revelation to correct the translation and the interpretation of the term new moon by head of month which is an additional intercalary day. We must interpret the translations depending on context to determine YHVH's true calendar. Where the term new moon is used for another month from the 1 st , 4th , 7th and 10th month, we can assume that it is the day of the lunar conjunction as defined in the Book of Enoch. Some biblical events are therefore sometimes located in time according to the lunar cycle within the solar YHVH's calendar. We must realize that Yahushua and the patriarchs kept the calendar according to Enoch, not the lunar calendar which other nations were keeping. Just like today, we use the Gregorian calendar as a common reference with the rest of the world not because it is biblically valid. The Greek word neomenia is translated as new moon in Colossians 2:16 but this word corresponds to the intercalary day, at the head of each partition and not the lunar conjunction. Colossians 2:16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon [new month, head of month, intercalary day] [3561 neomenia νουμηνια or νεομηνια] or sabbaths, There are 2 Greek words (vουμηνια and vεομηνια) which are equivalent to designate the same word neomenia which is translated as new moon. However, according to the revelation from the Book of Enoch, the term should be translated as intercalary day or new month or head of month and not new moon. Such an error of translation and interpretation has caused confusion and incorrect doctrine concerning the calendar. This word neomenia is formed by the prefix neo or nou for new (3501 vεος neos) and by the word month (3376 vην). Here below is the modern definition of neomenia from an online dictionary : 645
neomenia : 1. the time of the new moon or the beginning of the month. 2. a heathen festival at the time of the new moon. Judaism has kept this tradition in the Hebrew calendar still in use today to determine the festivals. With such a definition limited to the Lunar Calendar, then it is understandable that the lunar calendar based on the lunar conjunction is universally accepted. In translations of the Old Testament, we can find verses in which the term new moon is used. Depending on the Bible version used for a word search, we obtainbetween 20 and 26 verses containing the term new moon which should be translated as new month, head of month or intercalary day. Here are below the verses that contain on the one hand, the Hebrew word chodesh 2320 in modern versions and, also, the words νουμηνια or νεομηνια (neomenia) in the Septuagint version LXX. These verses specifically target the intercalary days which are the head of months and not the lunar conjunction which is exclusively represented by the modern definition. Besides, we have the Book of Jubilees which confirms an event marked by Noah with a day of remembrance which is one of the four intercalary days, the one in the 10 th month. Take note that the terms translated as new moon, the first day of the month, at the beginning of your months, are biased translations by Judaism in favor of the lunar calendar. In most occurrences of these words, they designate the head of months and intercalary days in the calendar revealed by Enoch. Jubilees 6:25. And at the new moon of the tenth month the tops of the mountains appeared, and Noah became glad. 26. And on this account he ordained them as festivals of remembrance unto himself unto eternity, and thus they are ordained. Exodus 40:2 On the first day of the first month (02320), at the new moon [new month, head of month, intercalary day] (02320 and Septuagint 3561 νουμηνια), thou shalt set up the tabernacle of witness, (LXXE) Exodus 40:17 And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon [new month, head of month, intercalary day] (02320 and Septuagint 3561 νουμηνια), that the tabernacle was set up.(LXXE) Numbers 10:10 And in the days of your gladness, and in your feasts, and in your new moons [new month, head of month, intercalary day] (02320 and Septuagint 3561 νουμηνιαις), ye shall sound with the trumpets at your whole-burnt-offerings, and at the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and there shall be a memorial for you before your El: I am YHVH your God [Ulhim].(LXXE) Numbers 28:11 And at the new moons [new month, head of month, intercalary day] (02320 and Septuagint 3561 νεομηνια) ye shall bring a whole-burnt-offering to YHVH, two calves of the herd, and 646

9.3.1.1 New Moon day versus the first day of the month As we found in the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees, the term new moon does not always mean the lunar conjunction nor the 1 st day of the month. In the Book of Jubilees, according to the context, it also designates the 4 days of remembrance by Noah which are also the 4 days of division or season and also the 4 additional intercalary days. Unfortunately, the translators have used the same term new moon to refer to two completely different concepts, hence the confusion. In the Judaic lunar calendar, the new moon day always designates the first day of the lunar month. According to the modern definition, the new moon day is the lunar conjunction. However, in Enoch's calendar, the new moon never means the first day of the solar month of 30 days. We must not confuse the two calendars nor the two definitions of the term new moon. In relation to YHWH's calendar, we must not apply the definition of the lunar month to Enoch's solar months. Thus, in the verse of Jubilees 6 below, it is incorrect to affirm that the new moon is the first day of Enoch's 30 day months. Contrary to some scholars, the following verse is not about the lunar conjunction nor the 1 st day of the month. There is a distinction. The term new moon in the following verse is mistranslated and should be new month or head of month that are Noah's 4 days of remembrance and at the same time, the 4 days of divisions of the year and days of festival. Jubilees 6:21. And at the new moon [intercalary day] of the first month, and in the new moon [intercalary day] of the fourth month, and in the new moon [intercalary day] of the seventh month, and in the new moon [intercalary day] of the tenth month are the days of remembrance and the days of the festivals in the four divisions of the years : written and ordained they are for a testimony until eternity. 22. And Noah ordained them for himself as festivals for future generations, for on them there was to him a remembrance. This above verse from Jubilees concerns Enoch's calendar in which the term new moon is not defined as the first day of 30 days. Many have been confused by poor translations and misinterpretations of the Qumran texts and of the term new moon by scholars. The result of this confusion has unfortunately caused the creation by some scholars of two distinct sets of 4 days: 4 days of memorial and 4 added intercalary days which are respectively placed on the 1 st day of the 1st month and 31th day of the third month of each partition or season. This is incorrect. It will be shown through an analysis of the faulty translations of the Qumran texts, that there is a single set of four days that are simultaneously Noah's 4 days of 650
remembrance and the 4 intercalary days which are added to divide the 4 partitions or seasons. These four days are placed at the head of the 3 30-day months in each partition. The following verses from the Book of Enoch seem quite clear in this regard. These four days are not to be counted in the months because they are not part of the ordinary year of 360 days. Enoch 74 (or 75):1 And the leaders of the heads of the thousands, who are placed over the whole creation and over all the stars, have also to do with the four intercalary days, being inseparable from their office, according to the reckoning of the year, and these render service on the four days which are not 2 reckoned in the reckoning of the year. Apparently, some do not understand this verse 2 above and / or they completely ignore it. Let us admit that it is a difficult concept. It is written that these 4 additional days are not part of the (ordinary) year. This means that these 4 additional days are not part of the 12 months of 30 days which form the ordinary year of 360 ordinary days in contrast to the full year of 364 days. The 4 leaders who have charge of the 4 partitions are at the head of the partitions just like the 4 intercalary days. Enoch 82: 11 Their four leaders who divide the four parts of the year enter first; and after them the twelve leaders of the orders who divide the months; and for the three hundred and sixty (days) there are heads over thousands who divide the days; and for the four intercalary days there are the leaders which sunder 12 the four parts of the year. Then, we should not put those four days as the first day of the month nor as the 31th day of the month. If these four days would be part of the ordinary days of months, they would be part of the year. The 4 additional intercalary days of remembrance are placed at the head of the three months of each of the 4 partitions. The sequence would the be as follows for the 4 partitions or seasons of 91 days : 1 intercalary day of remembrance at the head (3rd day of week) 30 days of 1st month (starts on the 4th day of week) 30 days of 2nd month (starts on the 6th day of the week) 30 days of the 3rd month (beginning on the 1st day of week)

Among others, it is the interpretation supported by Professor Bernard Barc in his Table 2 on page 220 in his book The Biblical chronology from Adam to the death of Moses available at http://www.erudit.org/revue /ltp/1999/v55/n2/401232ar.pdf

9.3.2 The 4 Intercalary Days There are 4 intercalary days added in the ordinary year of YHVH's calendar described in the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees (see 9.01 Diagram & 9.02 Rules). Enoch 74:1 These are the leaders of the chiefs of the thousands, those which preside over all creation, and over all the stars; with the four days which are added and never separated from the place allotted them, according to the complete calculation of the year. 2 And these serve four days, which are not calculated in the calculation of the year. Moreover, in the Book of Jubilees, we learn that these four days were proposed by Noah as holy days of remembrance from the flood to be kept (see 10.2 The Additional Intercalary Days of Remembrance). Jubilees 6:21. And at the new moon [intercalary day] of the first month, and in the new moon [intercalary day] of the fourth month, and in the new moon [intercalary day] of the seventh month, and in the new moon [intercalary day] of the tenth month are the days of remembrance and the days of the festivals in the four divisions of the years : written and ordained they are for a testimony until eternity. 22. And Noah ordained them for himself as festivals for future generations, for on them there was to him a remembrance. It is only through these books that we discover that the modern term new moon does not exclusively designate the lunar conjunction but also the new month and the intercalary day or head of month or day of partition or season. Obviously, a lunar conjunction can not happen every 3 months (90 days) as indicated above, since the lunar cycle is about 29.53 days. So here is irrefutable evidence that the term new moon is wrong and insidious. These books clearly establish the 4 intercalary days as holy days and as holy convocations to keep (see 10.2 The 4 Intercalary Days). In these books, no observance is established for the days of lunar conjunction. Thus, we must read anew the Bible in light of this new revelation to correct the interpretation of the term new moon with that of the intercalary day or head of month. Moreover, these four intercalary days were set apart by Noah as days of remembrance. So today, we can designate them as intercalary days of remembrance. In modern Bible translations, the term new moon incorrectly translated from the Hebrew word chodesh causes confusion concerning the lunar conjunction (see 9.3.1 Neomenia and New Moon). Indeed, the modern definition of new moon is strictly reserved for the lunar conjunction. That is why the intellectual trap was so effective when the term new moon has been used in modern translations. Substituting the intercalary day by a concept known as the lunar conjunction, everyone fell into the trap. The holy convocations commanded in Colossians 2:16 concerned these four 653
intercalary days and not the lunar conjunctions in the lunar calendar. The above verses indicate the position of these four days at the head of the 4 seasons or partitions because they are the heads of the month. Indeed, they are called the days of the seasons. The above verses of Jubilees 6:21 establish the position of the 4 days at the beginning of each of the four scores as they are the months of chefs. It is quite logical and consistent that they are placed at the head of the seasons to announce them and not at the end as some scholars put them. These four days are placed before the 1 st month, before the 4th month, before the 7th month and before the 10th month (see 9.3.4 Arguments on the Position of the Intercalary Days). They are not placed at the end of three months of the partition to form a month of 31 days because the months are all 30 days. This position is confirmed at the head by Noah who promoted the four days as holy days in the Book of Jubilees according to the verses below. Jubilees 6:22. And Noah ordained them for himself as festivals for future generations, for on them there was to him a remembrance. 23. At the new moon [head of months, intercalary day] of the first month it was said to him that he should make for himself an ark, and on it the earth became dry, and he opened [the ark] and saw the earth. And at the new moon [head of months, intercalary day] of the fourth month the mouth of the flood-gates of the lowest deep was closed. 24. And at the new moon [head of months, intercalary day] of the seventh month all the mouths of the floodgates of the earth were opened and the waters began to descend into the depth beneath. 25. And at the new moon [head of months, intercalary day] of the tenth month the tops of the mountains appeared, and Noah became glad. 26. And on this account he ordained them as festivals of remembrance unto himself unto eternity, and thus they are ordained. These intercalary days were anticipated from the beginning of creation and Enoch mentions them as being part of YHVH's calendar (see 4.5. Date of Creation and 4.3.1 Diagram). However, we can see from the above verses that it was only in Noah's time that these days were decreed as holy days to keep as memorial. We find in the Bible numerous animal sacrifices which were commanded on the intercalary days called new moon (see 8.3.2 The Number of Sacrifices). In fact, we do not find any command in the books of Enoch nor of Jubilees which command any sacrifice nor solemnity on the days of lunar conjunction. But on the contrary, the commanded days are the 4 added intercalary days as mentionned in the above verses. Among those who are discovering the calendar revealed to Enoch, many are facing some difficulties concerning the 4 intercalary days, the positioning of the beginning of the cycles, and the days of annual solemnities. The 360 days of the year are called "ordinary" to clearly distinguish them from the 4 additional intercalary days. These 4 intercalary days are counted in time but not in the months, ie they are not part of the days in the 12 months. 654
The 360 ordinary days with the 4 additional intercalary days form a full year of 364 days. Every cycle of 364 days contains 52 weeks of 7 days. After the flood, at the request of Noah, the 4 additional intercalary days became days of remembrance, days of partitions or seasons, as feasts or solemnities for the generations for ever. (See The Book of Jubilees 7 :26) Jubilees 6:22. And Noah ordained them for himself as festivals for future generations, for on them there was to him a remembrance. Enoch 71:32. On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixty-four. As indicated, in a cycle of 364 days, the last day of the full year is a day of real equinox (night equal to day), the last day of winter. If the earthly cycle was 364 days, the day which immediately followed the biblical day of equinox (the last day of winter) in Jerusalem would thus necessarily be the 1 st additional intercalary day followed by the 1st ordinary day of the year (qualified as ordinary). In that case, the last day of the 364-day cycle would end on a 7 th day. However, in the terrestrial cycle of 365.242 days, an intercalation is necessary to compensate the difference between the 364-day calendar and the terrestrial cycle of 365.242 days. The challenge is now to understand the arrangement and to properly determine the beginning of the 52 weeks, with the Gregorian cycle or independently from it. This question concerns the provision of epagomenal or blank days, either before the day of the equinox to wait for it, either after the equinox day, to wait for the beginning of the 364-day cycle. Yet, to follow Enoch's instructions, the 364 th and last day of the 364-day cycle must correspond to the day of equinox. In this case, we need to insert the 1 or 2 blank days after the day of the equinox to begin the 364-day cycle that must end on the day of the equinox. Following recent revelations and translations of manuscripts of texts found at Qumran, near the Dead Sea, we now have precise details of the sequence of the 364 days in the various months (see 2.3.1.2 Calendar Scrolls- Qumran). If these texts come from true observers of the Creator Father's calendar, we can now better understand the details missing from the calendar. These texts give the position of the 7th day Sabbaths within the 12 months of the year of 364 days. It follows that when creating these luminaries, they had to be positioned so that, in particular, the ordinary 360th day would fall on the biblical day of the real equinox (the last day of winter) in Jerusalem. Instead of setting Wednesday as the first day of the Gregorian week as the beginning of the 364-day cycle, it would be more logical that the first day of the Gregorian week but this question is examined elsewhere. The positioning of the annual solemnities must be made in the full year of 364 days, ie to reckon the 4 intercalary days but on the 360 ordinary days of the 655
ordinary year. So, for example, the 14th day of the 1st month, the day of the Passover, is the 14th ordinary day of the 1st month of the ordinary year but is the 15th day of the (full) complete year. As an additionnal example, the Day of Trumpets is the 1st ordinary day of the 7th month of the year, that is the 184th day of the full year (see Appendix A Dates of Solemnities).
656
9.3.3 Arguments on the position of the Intercalary Days In the sequence of the 364 days and the 12 months, in which position are located the additional intercalary four days? Are they located at the end of the 4 partitions to be the 31st days or at the head of the partitions to be excluded from month? What can we find in the ancient books? We have to admit again that the imperfect translations and the absence of certain texts make their position more difficult to be determined (see 9.3.3 The 4 Heads of the Months). What clues do we have to determine their position? Here is a series of verses and arguments which place the 4 intercalary days of remembrance at the head of the 4 divisions of the years. This sequence is shown below in Table 2 in Professor Bernard Barc's book The Bible chronology from Adam to the Death of Moses available at: http://www.erudit.org/revue /LTP/1999/v55/n2/401232ar.pdf. This interpretation places the 1st intercalary day at the head of the full year as the 1st day of the full year.
657
1) The following verse confirms the 4 intercalary days at the head of the 4 partitions or seasons with the 1 st intercalary day at the head of the full year of 364 days, that is the 1st day of the year. To understand the verses below, one must know that the term new moon is improperly translated which leads to an incorrect interpretation. Indeed, this verse has nothing to do with the moon and certainly not with a lunar conjunction. As already demonstrated, the term new moon in the Torah actually means the head of the months which is the intercalary day of rememberance. The lunar cycle of 29.53 days can never produce a lunar conjunction or a new astronomical moon every 91 days. 658
Jubilees 6:21 And at the new moon [head of months = intercalary day] of the first month, and in the new moon [head of months = intercalary day] of the fourth month, and in the new moon [head of months = intercalary day] of the seventh month, and in the new moon [head of months = intercalary day] of the tenth month are the days of remembrance and the days of the festivals in the four divisions of the years : In the verse above, the 4 intercalary days called new moon are listed chronologically for 4 partitions or seasons 91 days of complete full year. The 4 partitions of 91 days form the full year of 364 days including the four intercalary days at their head. The new moon (intercalary day) of the 1 st month is part of the first 91 day partition at the beginning of the year. In other words, the year begins with the first partition with the interclaray day at its head called the new moon of the first month. Logically and necessarily, if the intercalary day is part of the first partition, it is the first day of that partition (day 1 of 91). So each of the four intercalary days is at the head of each 91 day partition. The new moon of the first month is necessarily at the beginning of the year not at the end. So, it is totally incoherent and illogical to place the new moon (intercalary day) of the 1 st month at the end of the previous year. The context of this verse refers to the full year from its beginning by mentionning first the intercalary day of the 1 st month. We can not conclude from this verse that the year begins on the 1 st day of the 1st month because it clearly states that the intercalary day called new moon precedes this first month. In this case, it is really the intercalary day in the first partition which is the 1st day of the year. In conclusion, as shown in Table 2 above, the term new moon of the first month means the first intercalary day which is: -
the the the the
head of the first partition of 91 days (day 1 of 91) head of the first month (before the 1st month ) head of the full year covered in this verse 1st day of the full year (day 1 of 364)
659
2) The Bible confirms the position of the intercalary days of rememberance of the 10th month ahead of this month, and, so, of all 4 intercalary days. Genesis 8: 5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month. The tenth month on the first (day) of the month, were the tops of the mountains [KJV]. If there was any doubt about the position of the intercalary day of remembrance in regard to the months and partition, the Bible clearly shows its position at the head of the 10th month. In the above verse, the term first day of the month is not literally correct since the word day is missing from the original text (see 2.6.25). Thus, the translation would be before the month or at the head of months and therefore more like has the meaning of the head of months as Jubilees shows below and preceding argument. Jubilees 6: New Moon and [head of months = intercalary day] of the 10th month - the mountain peaks were seen, and Noah was happy. And on that he ordered them to himself as memorial celebrations for ever and they were well ordered and put them on the heavenly tablets. Each had 13 weeks of one another and [went] their memorial 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th, and every day of the order are 52 weeks of days and [this is] the entire year; This is engraved and ordained on the heavenly tablets and there is no negligence [to command] for one year or every year. The position of these four intercalary days called new moon is confirmed in the Bible as the head of the 4 partitions of 91 days, i.e. 13 weeks (13 X 7 = 91) and 52 weeks (52 X 7 = 364 days). Though imperfect translations of the Bible use incorrectly the term 1st day of the month, the verse clearly places the event ahead of the 10th month, that is, on the intercalary day preceding the first day of the 10th month (see 2.6. 11). In Enoch's calendar, the term new moon does not designate the 1st day of the month (se argument further below). Moreover, the translation of the Septuagint 1865 by Pierre Giguet uses a term close to the new moon to place this event clearly ahead of the 10th month. Genesis 8: 5. But water decreased until the tenth moon, the first day of the tenth moon, the tops of the mountains appeared. These Bible verses place the intercalary day ahead of the 10 th month and confirms that the term new moon means the four intercalary days ahead of the 4 partitions of 91 days (day 1 of 91).
660
3) We must distinguish Enoch's 12 gates from the 12 months The 12 gates of the sun differ from the 12 months of 30 days. The 12 gates described by Enoch totalise 364 days while the 12 months totalise 360 days. As shown in the diagram below, each 91-day partition or season has its equivalent in the gates. Indeed, we find 4 groups of gates, each with two gates of 30 days and one has 31 days to include the added intercalary day. Thus, the 31 st day of the 4 gates of 31 days corresponds to the 4 intercalary days. Some have confused the gates with months and attributed months of 31 days by integrating intercalary days therein, against Enoch's instructions. The intercalary days are not part of the ordinary year as they are added to form the full year. Enoch 75 :1 And the leaders of the heads of the thousands, who are placed over the whole creation and over all the stars, have also to do with the four intercalary days, being inseparable from their office, according to the reckoning of the [full] year, and these render service on the four days which are not 2 reckoned in the reckoning of the [ordinary] year. In Enoch's calendar, the 12 months are always 30 days to form the ordinary year of 360 days. The following diagram shows the position of the intercalary days in the various Gates. Many are tempted to place the end of the year after the third gate and at the same time they place the intercalary day at the end of the year instead of the beginning of the year. This interpretation is contrary to all the other verses in the other arguments which place the intercalary day as the first day of the year.
661
4) The place the 4 chefs at the head confirms the place of the four intercalary days ahead of the 4 partitions and the 1 st intercalary day as the 1st day of the year The Book of Enoch describes clearly the position of the four leaders at the head of days they lead. The 4 leaders who represent the 4 intercalary days also open the way at the head of the 4 partitions. Enoch 81: And these are the names of the leaders who divide the four parts of the year which are ordained: Milki'el, Hel'emmelek, and Mel'ejal, 14 and Narel. And the names of those who lead them: Adnar'el, and Ijasusa'el, and 'Elome'el- these three follow the leaders of the orders, and there is one that follows the three leaders of the orders which follow those leaders of stations that divide the four parts of the year. Then, the 4 leaders as the 4 intercalary days, start the year and divide it into 4 partitions. The 12 other leaders then follow to form 12 months. Thus, in the year as in each partition, the intercalary day like its chief Melkejal, precedes the month and the leaders of the months. So we should not put these four intercalary days as the 1st day nor as the 31th day the month because they are not reckoned in the months. Melkejal, the leader of the first 91-day partition is leading the way ahead and not at the end of the partition. These 91 days include the intercalary day ahead of the 90 days of 3 months of 30 days which is day 1 of 91. Some will go so far as to say that these verses have no relevance to the intercalary days but that would cause to misplace the intercalary days. Enoch 81: these three follow the leaders of the orders, and there is one that follows the three leaders of the orders which follow those leaders of stations that divide the four parts of the year. In 15. In the beginning of the year Melkejal rises first and rules, who is named Tam'aini and sun, and 16 all the days of his dominion whilst he bears rule are ninety-one days. In verse 16, the chief Melkejal, like the intercalary day he represents, appears in the first part of the year, ie at its head. So Melkejal appears on the 1 st day of the year which is the first intercalary day, as shown in Table 2 from Bernard Barc. The full year is thus defined by the positions of the leaders in charge of the 364 days, of which Melkejal is the head. If we choose to ignore this important hint, we are likely to err for the position of the intercalary days. In particular, Melkejal at the head indicates the 1st intercalary day as the first day of the year ahead of the first partition of the year.
662
5) The days of remembrance are also days of divisions of the seasons Given imperfect translations and misinterpreted texts, scholars have wrongly created two distinct sets of 4 days. The reason for this error is the positionning of the intercalary days at the end of the 4 partions instead of the beginning as shown in the arguments presented here. However, the verses are clear in describing the intercalary days as days of season that separate the seasons and also days of remembrance at Noah's request. Jubilees 6: ... are the days of remembrance and the days of the festivals in the four divisions of the years : written and ordained they are for a testimony until eternity... There is only one set of 4 days that are simultaneously 4 intercalary days and 4 days of rememberance placed at the head of the partitions. That is why the 1 st intercalary day is at the head of the 1st partition and the 1st day of the year ahead of the 1st day of the 1st month. According Jubilees 6 above, the 4 days of remembrance are also called the 4 days of the divisions or seasons. It should thus be the clear interpretation of this verse that these 4 days of seasons should be at the head of the 4 partitions or seasons. The 4 days of remembrance are clearly at the head of the partitions. The days of seasons should justly serve as an entrance door to the seasons being logically positioned at their head (see 9.3.3 The 4 Heads of Months). Indeed, these days would be as leaders at their head. If the term new moon is the first day of the month in the Jewish lunar calendar, it is not that interpretation in the verses of Jubilees 6 which have nothing to do with the moon. One must realize that the term new moon means intercalary day which is not the first day of the month except in the lunar calendar. The term new moon should be translated as head of months because it means the head of the 3 months of each partition. 6) Unlike the translation by Veza Vermes, the translation by Robert Eisenman and Michael Wise, 1992, shows that the intercalary days are added just before the 1st day of the 1st month. How have scholars imagined or interpreted that there were two distinct sets of four days? In all likelihood, the translated texts of from the Dead Sea Scrolls by Veza Vermes would lead to such an interpretation (see 2.3.1.2 Calendar Scrolls). The source is: The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls, Revised Edition, Geza Vermes, Penguin Books, available at the following link: http://www.thechristianidentityforum.net/downloads/Complete-Scrolls.pdf Below, excerpts of texts from the above mentioned source concerning passage from the 3rd month to the 4th month and from the first partition to the second partition. These texts give the impression that the intercalary day is placed at the end of the partition or season of 91 days as the last and 31st day: 1) on the 28th of this [month 3]: Sabbath 2) on the first of Sabbath, and on the 2nd day and 3rd day must be added 3) And the season is complete: 91 days. [Missing line from the other source] 663
4) on the 1st of the month 4: Memory Day. [Missing line from the other source] 5) on the 4th thereof: Sabbath Line 2 above mentions the days from the 28th day as well: - The 1st day of week (1st Sabbath) which is the 29th day of the 3rd month - The 2nd day of the week that is the 30th day of the third month, - The 3rd day of the week to be added, according to some, as the 31 st day of the 3rd month Lines 3 and 4 above would lead us to believe that the partition or season is completed in 91 days which would include the 3 rd day of the week. For some, that day would be the 31th day of the 3rd month of the partition. Because of these texts precisely, this 31st day would be, according to some scholars, the intercalary day placed at the end of partition and so be the 31 st and last day. These scholars would apply the same conclusion for the three other intercalary days at the end of the 6th month, at the end of the 9th month and the end of the 12th month. Moreover, according to line 4, the first day of the 4 th month would be one of Noah's remembrance day. According the following source which is another work related and translating the same texts in English, lines 3 and 4 mentionned above are entirely absent. The other source is Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered by Robert Eisenman and Michael Wise, 1992, available at the following link: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/scrolls_deadsea/uncovered/uncovered.htm (41) on the 28th (42) (43) thereof is a sabbath; (44) after (45) Sunday and Monday (46) an additional Tuesday [Day 3] (47) was added. (48) in the 4th month (49) on the fourth (50) of it is a Sabbath; In this second line above, the 3rd additional day is added and the line that mentions that the season is complete with 91 days is absent. We can then place this 3rd day at the end of the partition. In addition, the line that says the first day of the fourth month is a day of remembrance is also absent, unlike Veza Vermes' version. It is at least curious to note the difference between the two sources. These Vermes texts can effectively and naturally induce readers into an another interpretation. Obviously, imperfect or biased translation of the original texts remain a serious problem for Truth seekers and for YHVH's calendar. Using this ladder version, we cannot conclude that the intercalary day is at the end of the partition nor that the 1st day of the 4th month is a day of remembrance. In accordance with the verse of Jubilees 6 above, the intercalary day and the day of remembrance is indeed the same day. Moreover, in this verse, the term new moon, unlike the lunar calendar does not refer to the 1 st day of the month but to the intercalary day preceding the first day of the first month in each of the 4 partitions or seasons.
664
7) The new moon is not the first day of the month in Enoch's calendar As found in the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees, the term new moon does not always mean lunar conjunction nor the 1 st day of the month. In the Book of Jubilees, according to the context, it also designates Noah's 4 days of remembrance that are also the 4 days of division of the partitions or seasons and also the 4 additional intercalary days. Unfortunately, the translators have used the same term to refer to two completely different concepts, hence the confusion. In the Jewish lunar calendar, the new moon day always means the first day of the lunar month. According to modern definition, the new moon day is exclusively the lunar conjunction. However, in Enoch's calendar, the term new moon never means the first day of Enoch's solar month of 30 days. We must not confuse the two calendars nor the two definitions of the term new moon. In relation to YHWH's calendar, we must not apply the definition of the lunar month to Enoch's solar months. Thus, in the verse of Jubilees 6 below, it is incorrect to assert that the new moon is the first day of Enoch's 30 day months. Contrary to some scholars, the verse is not about the lunar conjunction nor the 1 st day of the month. We must distinguish. The term new moon in the following verse is mistranslated and should be the head of months or new months which are Noah's 4 days of remembrance and at the same time, the 4 days of seasons. Jubilees 6: 21. And at the new moon [head of months – intercalary days] of the first month, and in the new moon [head of months – intercalary days] of the fourth month, and in the new moon [head of months – intercalary days] of the seventh month, and in the new moon [head of months – intercalary days] of the tenth month are the days of remembrance and the days of the festivals in the four divisions of the years : written and ordained they are for a testimony until eternity. This above verse from Jubilees concerns Enoch's calendar in which the term new moon is not defined as the first day of 30 days. Many have been confused by poor translations and misinterpretations of Qumran texts and by the term new moon by scholars for many years. The 4 additional intercalary days of remembrance are placed at the head of the three months of each of the 4 partitions. The sequence would be as follows for the four partitions or seasons of 91 days: 1 intercalary day of remembrance at the head (3rd day of the week) 30 days of month 1 (starts on the 4th day of the week) 30 days of month 2 (starts on the 6th day of the week) 30 days of the month 3 (starts on the 1st day of the week)
665
8) In Enoch's calendar, the intercalary days of remembrance are not counted in the full year This is a difficult concept which creates confusion in our thinking. There are several verses that mention time periods that correspond only to the ordinary year omitting the intercalary days. This is impossible for us to conceive of time measurement that omits some real days. Thus, the following verses show periods of ordinary days only, omitting the intercalary days. The period of 1260 days corresponds exactly to 42 months of 30 days. Revelation 11: 3 And I will give unto my two witnesses power to prophesy clothed in sackcloth, one thousand two hundred sixty days. Revelation 12: 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared by God, that there they should feed one thousand two hundred sixty days. During the flood, five months are counted as 150 days (5 X 30) because the intercalary days in it are ignored. In the following verses, there are 150 days between the 17th day of the 2nd month and 17th day of the 7th month, five months exactly. Genesis 7: 11 the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the sources of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of heaven were opened .. .. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth .... one hundred and fifty days Genesis 8: 3 And the waters returned from off the earth, going away and away and the waters were abated after a hundred and fifty days. 4 In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat. 9) The intercalary day is located after the day of the March equinox and before the 1st day of the 1st month The day of the March equinox in Jerusalem is the 364 th and last day of the full year. So, the full year ends on the day of the equinox and the following year begins after that day. In the 12th and last month, the sun goes down through the third gate for 30 days according to the French version but 31 days according to the English versions. Enoch 71:31 And on that day the sun rises from that portal, and sets in the west, and returns to the east, and rises in the third portal for one-and-thirty mornings, and sets in the west of the heaven. 32 On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night 33 is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixty666
four. If there was only this verse, this translation could lead us to believe that the 31 th day of the 3rd gate is the day of the equinox. Also, since the 30 th day of the 3rd door corresponds to the 30th day of the 12th month, the 31th day of the 3rd month would also be the intercalary day of remembrance. In this case, the intercalary day would be the 364th day and last day of the year. However, this is contrary to the verse of Jubilees 6 which says that the intercalary day is the first day of the year, being the head of the first partition 91 days of the year. How can we reconcile Jubilees 6 with this verse above? It is not possible nor is it possible to reconcile all the other verses and arguments with these verses from Enoch 71. Because of apparent contradictions between verses and arguments, we must analyze and decide. The first choice is to give priority only to Enoch 71 and to put aside all other verses and arguments. The second choice is to respect the validity of the many more other verses and arguments which place the first intercalary day as the first day of the year. Among the scholars and new followers of Enoch's calendar, many have chosen the first option and start the year on the 1 st day of the 1st month. Despite this strong opposition, this writer chose the second option which respects more of the verses and arguments presented. Thus, the second choice appears to him to be more consistent on the whole by beginning the full year with the first intercalary day. In this second option, it is considered that this verse from Enoch is being either mistranslated or misinterpreted in its literal reading. So the only consistent element that is retained from that Enoch verse above by this editor is that the day of the equinox is the last day for the full year of 364 days. In an earthly cycle of 364 days concurrent with Enoch's calendar, the day following the day of the equinox would be the first day of the earthly cycle and the first day of the following calendar year. But it is not in a 365.2422 days cycle because you must apply a method of intercalation. For the 2 choices, the ordinary year always begins on the 1st day of the 1st month. Moving the beginning of the year from the intercalary day to the 1 st day of the 1st month amounts to moving by 1 day every day of the year and therefore all feasts. If we do not set the proper beginning of the cycle, we will not observe the feasts but common days. 10) The 4 intercalary days of remembrance are included in the numerical and chronological order in the same one full year Jubilees 6:26. And on this account he ordained them as festivals of remembrance unto himself unto eternity, and thus they are ordained. 27. And they were raised into the tablets of heaven: thirteen sabbaths to each, from one to another their remembrance, from the first to the second, from the second to the third, from the third to the fourth. 28. And all the days of this commandment are fifty-two sabbaths of days, and the whole year is completed. 667
These verses concern the 4 intercalary days called new moon listed in numerical order at the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th months. These verses confirm the position of the four days as part of the full-year in numerical order. It confirms the inclusion of the 1st intercalary day of remembrance (called new moon) as the 1st day of the same full year because the 4 days divide equally the same one year in 13 weeks each. The above verse clearly states that the one year begins from the 1 st intercalary day of remembrance and continues up to the 4 th day because they divide the year into 13 weeks and all the days (52 weeks) constitute the full year (364 days ). It would not be logical to position in the previous year the first listed intercalary day since the 4 days are listed in this verse to be included in the same one complete year of 364 days from beginning to end. Then, logically, the 1st intercalary day is the 1 st day of the 364 contiguous days of Enoch's calendar full year.

9.4 The Annual Cycle Since the beginning of creation by Father YHVH, the natural calendar comprises several divisions of time according to the cycles of the earth, moon, sun and stars. The annual earthly cycle is actually defined by science as being the return of the seasons caused by the complete rotation of the earth around the sun. This cycle, called the equinoxial year, corresponds presently to the time separating 2 consecutive vernal equinoxes, that is, approximately 365.242 days. The equinoxes thus mark the natural changes of the seasons. In spite of the 4 seasons defined by man, in the north hemisphere, the Bible divides the year in only 2 seasons, summer and winter (see 9.4.1 The Seasons). In the present work, all mention of 2 seasons is according to the Bible in the north hemisphere where the summer is established from the day of the March equinox and the winter is established from the day of the equinox of September in the current Gregorian calendar (see 9.4.3 Year vs Equinox). Enoch reveals that the annual earthly cycle was 364 days. Man's rebellion which brought about the flood, has caused the earth cycle to slow down to our actual cycle. The natural calendar which corresponds to the earthly and lunar cycles, is openly available for all the nations since the beginning. According to the latitude of the locations on earth, the annual agricultural cycles are known to all, without angelic revelations. In the northern hemisphere, the annual agricultural cycle begins after the equinox of September because it is from this time that the sowing can begin in certain regions. This annual agricultural cycle is confirmed by the Day of Atonement which establishes the beginning of the year of jubilee and the year of the land Sabbath (see 9.5 The Land Cycle and its Sabbath). Indeed, it will be shown that the setting of the Day of Atonement corresponds essentially to the day of the September Equinox in Jerusalem (see 9.6 The Year of Jubilee). Notwithstanding science's definitions, the elect recognize only 2 annual cycles. The Bible gives us an annual calendar cycle which was exclusively revealed to Father YHVH's people by the angel YHVH and a natural cycle for the earth and the nations. Thus, we must distinguish the specific calendar given to Israel to keep Father YHVH's solemnities from the natural earthly calendar 1. For the people of Father YHVH, the annual biblical calendar begins with summer the day after the day of the March equinox in Jerusalem. The exodus of Egypt took place on the 15th day of the 1st month. This period of time is clearly called the beginning of summer. Accordingly, the angel of YHVH 669
revealed and commanded Moses to observe Father Creator's annual calendar on the 1st day of this month of green ears (abib). As it will be shown, that would be at the time of the March equinox that the angel YHVH thus spoke to Moses. Exodus 12:1 And YHVH spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, 2 This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak you to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: In the northern hemisphere, it is from the March equinox that the heat begins and causes the shoot of the vegetables among which the ears of barley at first. This period is called the time of green ears (abib) in the Bible (see 9.4.3 Year vs Equinox). According to a recent revelation, the cycle of the annual calendar(timetable) begins the day following the day of the equinox of March in Jerusalem which arrives almost always on March 16 or 17 (see 9.01 Diagram and Rules). 2. For the earth and the other nations, the annual agricultural cycle begins the day after the day of the equinox in September (September 26th in Jerusalem) (see 9.4.2 Equinox in Jerusalem) The Bible mentions the end of the year at the time of the Feast of Tents after the harvests in the 7th month (see 10.9 The Feast of Tents). Exodus 3:16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field. Exodus 34:22 And you shall observe the feast of weeks, of the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end. The day of the September equinox in Jerusalem ( September 26) marks the change of season from summer to winter. This feast of harvests observed from the 15th day of the 7th month (September 30) thus always occurs at the beginning of the biblical winter. Indeed, the 1st day of the 7th month (Day of Trumpets) occurs at the end of the year, that is, at the end of the summer (September 16) (see Appendix A - Dates of the Solemnities). The end of the year in question in the above verses concerns the natural cycle of the earth. However, in the case of the annual land cycle, Father Creator has decreed the day of Atonement (10th day of the 7th month) as being the beginning of the sabbatical year of the earth and the year of jubileewhich are commanded to the people of Father YHVH (see 9.5 The Land Cycle and its Sabbath and 9.6 The Year of Jubilee). In this case, in the biblical calendar, the day of Atonement occurs regularly on September 25, which is very close to the day the September equinox in Jerusalem (September 26). 670

9.4.01 Diagram The diagram below shows the sequence of days from the 1 st day of creation. It is shown that the first 4 days of the week of creation have been counted separately from the counting of the 12 months of 30 days in the first annual earthly cycle of 364 days. That is because it is only from the 5 th day of creation that the calendar formed by the moon, the sun and the stars began to count the days. For this first annual cycle, these 4 first days were separate from and preceded the 360 ordinary days (12 months of 30 days). Later, we see in the books of Enoch and of Jubilees, that the 4 intercalary days were intercalated at the head of the 4 divisions of 3 months of 30 days to form the full year of 364 days. These 4 days are always counted separately since they are still not counted as part of the 12 months.
Following new revelations affecting the days of the week in Enoch's calendar, the diagram is under revision. To come.

9.4.02 Equinox Definition The word equinox, consisting of the term equi meaning equal and of the term nox which means night, implies that the daylight is equal to the night. The equinox means that the duration of the daylight period which is included between sunrise and sunset is equal to the night time. The night is thus included between sunset and sunrise (see 9.1 The Day). The world generally uses the word equinox to indicate the sun's crossing of the celestial plan of the earthly equator. They announce all over the world twice a year the moment when the sun crosses the line of the earthly equator and the change of season on all the planet. When the sun crosses towards the northern hemisphere between March 20 and 21st, they say that spring begins in the northern hemisphere and autumn begins in the southern hemisphere. When it crosses towards the south hemisphere between September 21 and 23 rd, they say that spring begins in the southern hemisphere and autumn in the northern hemisphere. If this event is significant for the world to mark a certain change, it is not at all an equinox. The use of the word equinox in that case creates some confusion in regard to the real ethymological definition of the word equinox. In fact, contrary to the universal belief, at the moment of this passage of the sun over the equator, in March and in September, the day is not equal to the night on the equator at this precise moment, nor in any other place on the earth. Along the line of the equator, in any day of the year, the day is never equal to the night but on the contrary, it is longer. The following table shows the variation of the duration of daylight for every month of the year for the city of Libreville in Gabun, nearby the equator. According to the data on the website http://www.timeanddate.com/, the maximum day variation during all year is only 2 minutes 38 seconds (12h08m40s - 12h06m02s). Thus, on the equator, to all practical purposes, the day remains constant during all year. As for several biblical truths and other facts, the world is a victim of lies to different degrees. Those who are discovering YHVH's calendar in the Book of Enoch, are facing certain misleading propaganda. We were all subjected to this false equatorial equinox while there is really no equinox at this moment. Besides, when we read the Book of Enoch, we discover that the YHVH's calendar is determined by means of a day in which the daylight part is equal to the night. This day is described without ambiguity as having 9 parts just like the night which also has 9 parts. In a day of 24 hours, a part thus is 80 minutes or 1 hour and 20 minutes. Enoch 71:42 The night continues to decrease, it contains no more than nine parts, as much as the day, then there is equality between both; the year is in its three hundred sixty-fourth day. 673
The word equinox is not found in the book of Enoch. Yet, the description of this day is without doubt a true correspondant to the exact etymological equinox. That is why we must respect the definition of the equinox if we want to apply it to YHVH's calendar. Certain individuals are deceived by the false term of the equatorial equinox to substitute it for the real equinox as described by Enoch. He could not be standing at the equator when he described the variation of daylight periods during the whole year through the different doors. As we saw above, we do not find the daylight variations described by Enoch during the year at the equator. The following table shows the variations of daylight periods in Jerusalem during the year. We can see the maximal daylight variation as being 4 hours 5m 27s. That corresponds more to the variations described by Enoch in chapter 71.

These values demonstrate clearly that Enoch was not standing near the equator when he described the daylight variations but rather in a place located North of the equator. Jerusalem is the only city which can qualify as this important place (see 12.2.2 Jerusalem).

9.4.03 Gates for the Sun In the Book of Enoch, the sunrises and sunsets are described as passing through 6 gates on the horizon. These gates correspond to the variations of the azimuth between the extreme position of the sun in the east and its extreme position in the west. The following diagram was prepared by the Universtity of Oregon. This diagram shows the concept of the doors described by Enoch through which the sun rises and sets at varying azimuth during the year. It shows the variations of the altitude of the sun in axis and in abscissa during a period of one year. The degrees of azimuth are the positions where the sun rises and sets. It shows the dates corresponding to each door. Following new revelations affecting the days of the week in Enoch's calendar, the diagram is under revision. To come.

9.4.1 When the Calendar Year Begins On which day does YHVH 's calendar year begin? Time began when the Word (the angel of YHVH) was created as the first physical creation, the only son of the Creator Father. Then time was counted from the first day of creation in Genesis 1. The weekly cycle of the 7 days of Genesis 1 began on the first day of the week. However, we can not be sure that the Gregorian weekly cycle has never been altered from the beginning until today or that it even still applies (see 9.3 The Week). Is the seventh day Sabbath preserved through time and does it correspond even to the Gregorian Saturday? On the contrary, in YHVH's calendar, is the weekly cycle restarted at each new cycle of 364 days, independently of the Gregorian cycle? Thanks to the ancient books recently revealed to the public, we can have answers to the questions above. In the Book of Enoch, Father Creator's annual cycle calendar is 364 days and appears to be equal to the annual earth cycle before the flood (see 9.08 Original Cycle of 364 Days). Regardless, nowadays the annual earthly cycle is about 365,242 days. Would this change be a consequence of the great flood? Can a restoration from the original 364-day cycle be anticipated? If there had been no change in the past nor any need for change in the future, why should we read in the first chapter of the Book of Jubilees that all lights will be renewed for healing, peace and blessing? Will this renewal relate to the annual earthly cycle and its return to exactly 364 days? Jubilees 1:24 And the angel of the face, who went before the tents of Israel, took the tablets of the division of years from the time of the creation, the law and the testimony for the weeks and the jubilees, each year according to all its numbers and the jubilees according to years from the day of the new creation, when heaven and earth were created new, and also all creation according to the poweis of heaven and all the creation of the earth, until then when the sanctuary of the Lord will be made in Jerusalem on Mount Zion, and all the luminaries will be renewed for a healing and for peace and for a blessing for all the chosen of Israel, that it may be thus from this day on and to all the days of the world! These verses point to the renewal of all the luminaries which implies their restoration to the original cycle established at the time of Enoch in Genesis 1 (see 9.08 The Original Cycle of 364 Days). As demonstrated in the Book of Enoch, the annual cycle of the calendar was entirely based on the astral clock formed by the sun, the moon and the stars. Indeed, Enoch clearly described the 364-day annual earthly cycle with sunrises and sunsets across the 12 gates spread over the horizon. It is important to note that all the details of the calendar revealed by Enoch in his book come from the angel Uriel who showed him. These details are not speculations nor Enoch 's personal discoveries. On the one hand, the 7 day weekly cycle began on the first day of the creation of 677
Genesis 1. Indeed, it was the first day of the week of creation that established the seventh day Sabbath for eternity. If time was counted from the first day of creation, did the annual calendar cycle also begin on the same day? Why would the beginning of the calendar be another day of the week at the creation of the astral clock as some claim? On the contrary, in all cases, it is necessary to adjust a new clock at the time of the real time and not to display the zero time. To illustrate this, if you buy a watch with the display of the day of the week, what do you do? When you turn it on, set the hands to 0 and display the day on the 1st day of the week under the pretext that you are starting to use it. Will you not set it on the actual time and the current day? It should therefore be obvious that at the moment of its creation the astral clock was synchronized with the real time during day 4. It is not possible to justify subtracting from the first year of the calendar the first 3 or 4 days Of the creation week under the pretext that the clock was created and put into operation only on the 4 th day. At its creation, this astral clock necessarily and logically had to be synchronized with the real time during day 4 and not to display the beginning of time (day 1). Also, it appears obvious that the sun was created to illuminate the morning of the 4 th day. This moment is oddly exactly half (3.5 days) of the week. Is there a spiritual significance or a symbolic parallel to this fact?
As Enoch explained it, the annual calendar cycle of 364 days ends on the 364 th day (the last day of the annual calendar). According to Enoch again, the last day of the annual calendar cycle is the day when the direct sunlight is the same as the night (see 9.4.01 Equinox - Definition and 9.4.2 The Equinox in Jerusalem). Given that the current land cycle is about 365,242 days, it is the only rule revealed by Enoch still applicable to set the end of the calendar cycle after the day of the actual equinox in Jerusalem. (See 9.01 Diagram and 9.02 Rules). Enoch 72:32 On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixty-four. Also, it should be evident that the first annual cycle of the calendar began on the first day of creation of Genesis 1 which is therefore the 1 st day of the calendar. How could one justify that the first week was not entirely included in the first cycle of the calendar by subtracting the first 3 or 4 days of creation by starting the calendar on the 4th day? The above verse clearly describes the day of the real equinox which is the one and only reference point to determine the end and after, the beginning of the annual cycle of the following calendar year according to an intercalation method. In the Inspired Writings (Bible and other ancient books), the books of Enoch and the Jubilees, one can not find a specific rule to fix the beginning of the calendar on a specific day of the week. 678
However, texts found in Qumran give details about the sequence of these 364 days (see 2.3.1.2 Calendar Manuscripts - Qumran). This sequence would give in the 12 months of 30 days, the position of the 7 th day Sabbaths. It must therefore be noted that the beginning of the year would have changed from the original state existing in Genesis 1 and described by Enoch. Without knowing the precise explanation, we could assume that the great flood would be the cause of this change. Regardless, if these Qumran texts prove to be accurate and reliable, the 1 st day of the first month would always fall on the 4th day of the week. Several followers of Enoch's calendar thus place the 1 st day of the year in this 4th day of the week because they begin the year on the 1st day of the 1st month. For the moment, this present work proposes that the 1st day of the year corresponds rather to the 1 st intercalary day which would therefore fall on the 3rd day of the week. The popular practice among new followers to always begin the annual cycle of Enoch's calendar on the 4th day (Wednesday) is therefore based on an interpretation of these Qumran texts. Before the flood, when the earth cycle was 364 days (52 weeks of 7 days), the calendar began on the first day of the week and every solemn day occured on the same day of the week, year after year. Must we find this benefit that the solemn days always fall on the same weekdays? Moreover, several followers of Enoch's calendar use the famous socalled equatorial equinox established by the world. This equinox is simply false since at this precise moment there is no place on earth where night is exactly equal to day (see 9.4.2.1 Dates of Real Equinoxes)! In fact, on March 20-21, daytime is never equal to the night for an observer on the equator, never! The etymological meaning of the word equinox would require that the night be equal to the day but this is never the case at the equator on that date nor at any other place on the planet. What Enoch described is a day of equal duration to the night (real equinox) at a specific location. For the elect, this place is Jerusalem, the center of the universe chosen by our Father Creator to establish His throne (see 12.2.2 Jerusalem). When the words used are misleading, the people are deceived. When the word equinox does not mean equinox, it is like the number 7 which would no longer signifies the integer value between 6 and 8 but rather another fractional value. Do you imagine that the answer will be correct when the basic definition is incorrect? Never. Despite the possible disturbances caused by the change of the annual earthly cycle which is now about 365,242 days, we must retain the only rule given by Enoch to fix the end and the beginning of the calendar: the last day is the day of the equinox. In conclusion, we must follow Enoch's instructions to determine the end of Father Creator's calendar. It is therefore by determining the actual equinox day in Jerusalem that we can then determine the beginning of the annual cycle of the next calendar cycle (see 9.4.2.1 Equinox Rule). This day of real equinox is in fact the last day of the calendar 's annual cycle.

In his book La Chronologie Biblique d'Adam à la Mort de Moïse, Essai d'interprétation (Biblical Chronology from Adam until the Death of Moses, an Interpretive Essay), Bernard Barc describes the position of the 4 intercalary days of seasons which are also the 4 days of remembrance at the head of the 4 partitions according to his Reading of the Book of Jubilees (see Table 2 below). His interpretation corresponds exactly to that which is supported in this present work.
680
In addition to the previous table and according to the latest findings, the following table shows the approximate correspondence between YHVH's calendar and the Gregorian calendar. This correspondence stems from the close synchronization of the 2 calendars with the equinoctial cycle and therefore with the seasons. The Gregorian dates of the solemn days are given as an approximate and typical correspondence. The Gregorian dates may vary by one day according to the actual equinox and the leap-year Gregorian year. The solemn days always fall at the same dates and the same days of weeks in YHVH's calendar, year after year. 681

9.4.2 Jerusalem's Equinox All the law is issued from Jerusalem and the solemnities's dates are established according to Jerusalem. Isaiah 2 :3 And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, to the house of the El of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of YHVH from Jerusalem. The Book of Jubilee states clearly that Jerusalem (Mont Zion) is the center of the world. Jubilees 8:17. And he knew that the garden of Eden is the holy of holies, and the dwelling of the Lord, and Mount Sinai, the centre of the desert, and Mount Zion, the centre of the navel of the earth,' Also, the references given by Enoch in his book in regard to the laws of the luminaries are assumed as being from Jerusalem. Enoch 72:32 On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night 33 is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixty-four. Some individuals and groups assume the equator as being the location used by the angel Uriel to show Enoch. This is impossible since the daylight duration at the equator is constant all year through. Thus, evidently, the equator could not correspond to Enoch's location since he described large variations in the daylight through the 12 gates all year round. This day in Jerusalem is defined today as being the day of equal day and equal night, that is a real equinox. Using modern science, we can find the dates of the real equinox which varies according to the latitude of the location on earth (see 9.4.4.1 Diagram). With the use of the following website, it is possible to know the hours of sunset and sunrise at each precise locality on the planet. Thus, it is possible to find the days when the duration of daylight is equal to night in Jerusalem. The date of the March equinox in Jerusalem is essential because it is the pivotal day of the annual cycle of the biblical calendar (see 9.01 Diagram and Rules). The day of the September equinox does not play a pivotal role as that of March. On the same website, we determine the day of the September equinox in Jerusalem mostly on September 26th. (see Appendix A - Solemnities' Dates). This September equinox simply establishes the passage of the summer season to 683
winter in Jerusalem. In fact, it corresponds to the yearly land cycle which begins on the 1st day of winter in contrast to the biblical calendar which begins on the 1st day of summer, thus having 6 months out of sync. The Day of Atonement sets the beginning of the Sabbath year of the land and also the year of the jubilee which is sabbatical also. It is important to note the date of the Day of Atonement (September 25 th) compared with the September equinox (September 26th). Indeed, we notice an almost perfect coincidence between the natural season and the day decreed by Father Creator for the annual land Sabbath established from the biblical calendar as the 10 th day of the 7th month. A particular research is necessary to determine the exact biblical day of the equinox in Jerusalem (latitude 35:02) for each coming years.
684
9.4.2.2 Diagram The following diagram shows the hours of daylight for all the latitudes according to each day of the year. We can thus see the approximate dates when the night and the day are equal to 12 hours depending of latitude of the location. This diagram is available on the following site (link here). In particular, we can see that there is not one location on earth where the day is equal to the night at the so-called equatorial equinox in March or September. Thus the so-called world equinox is no equinox at all. On the equator, on all the days of the year, the day is longer than 12 hours and there is no real equinox but only a false one.
685
9.4.2.3 Real Equinox Dates The following table shows the results found from the site of astronomical data and the results obtained with the rule of determination of the real equinox in Jerusalem (see 9.4.2.2 Rule of the Equinox). It is interesting to notice the periodicity of the dates of the real equinoxes in Jerusalem in the column called rule. In particular, this periodicity allows us to resolve the imbroglio in 2031 when the data of the diurnal day are equivalent on March 16 th and March 17th. Thanks to this periodicity, we can establish henceforth in 2031 March 18 th as the day of the real equinox in Jerusalem. Furthermore, again thanks to the periodicity, we can establish for the following years, the dates of the real equinox as shown below for the years 2033 to 2036. Following new revelations affecting the days of the week in Enoch's calendar, the diagram is under revision. To come.
686
9.4.3 Year vs Equinox On which day does the calendar of YHVH begin? Time began when the Word (the angel of YHVH) was created as the first physical creation, the only son of the Creator Father. Then time was counted from the first day of creation in Genesis 1. The weekly cycle of the 7 days of Genesis 1 began on the first day of the week. However, we can not be sure that the Gregorian weekly cycle has never been altered from the beginning until today or if it even still applies (see 9.3 The Week). Was the Sabbath of the seventh day preserved through time and does it even correspond to the Gregorian Saturday? On the contrary, in YHVH's calendar, is the weekly cycle restarted at each annual 364 day cycle, independently of the Gregorian cycle? Thanks to the old books recently revealed to the public, we can have answers to the questions above. It is in the Book of Enoch that we find this precise information, that is, the day of the equinox is the last day of the annual cycle. Enoch 72:32 On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night 33 is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixtyfour. We know that the annual cycle of the biblical calendar begins in the season called abib (biblical summer) following the revelation to Moses by the angel YHVH. Exodus 12:2 “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. Exodus 13:4 Today, in the month of Abib, you are going out. Exodus 23:15 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you shall eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. None shall appear before me empty-handed. Apparently, this revelation of the beginning of the annual biblical calendar was new for Moses who was instructed in Egypt on the natural cycles of the moon and the earth. We find in the Book of Henoch the confirmation of the equinox as being the last day of the cycle, i.e. the 364th day. Obviously, one could think that the following day is the 1st day of the full year but it is not, due to the earth's cycle of 364,242 days. That first day is an intercalary day. We know that it is the March equinox which fixes the beginning of summer (abib) in the northern hemisphere, which is reflected Exodus 13:4. 687
Logically, the dissimulation of Father Creator YHVH's name would be also coherent with the dissimulation to the world generally of the observance of intercalary days and of His calendar. Such as mentioned already, the knowledge of the real calendar is essential to know the true solemn days to be observed. As a consequence, Father Creator also hid His calendar from the world in general and reveals it in the last days to His elect who must continue to learn. If they were all born in modern Babylon, they must all come out of it and continue to reject all errors by growing in the knowledge and grace. Peter 3 :18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah]. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. It is obvious that the knowledge of Father Creator's name just like the knowledge of His calendar, is based on faith and on the personal revelation from Father Creator. That is why the adoption of the true doctrines and the observance of the true solemn days of Father Creato is reserved for the elect. In spite of the objection of all those who observe another calendar or other doctrines, only Father Creator does open eyes. Thus, until the day when He decides / will decide to open our eyes, we shall remain blind, partially or completely. In contrast to the world in general which is completely blinded, the elect see but still partially, as through opaque smoked glasses. 1Corinthian 13 :12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. Is it not then expected and even desired that we continue to learn and to correct certain beleifs ? On the contrary, would it not be suspicious and even worrysome that our understanding of the Bible and our creed did not change a single iota nor a line for several years? That is the case of numerous religious so-called associations in the world that refuse to change and to correct their creed in the light of the Bible or of the logic or of the coherence. Concerning the incidence of the maturity of the barley as the beginning of the calendar, there is obviously a direct relation with the equinox of March which fixes the beginning of the summer. However, the establishment of the 1st day of the 1st month in Father Creator's calendar is subject in the day of the equinox of March in Jerusalem and not at all with the maturity of barley. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ 688
9.4.4 Seasons Men in certain regions of the world have separated the solar year in 4 practical seasons between the solstices and the equinoxes. In the north hemisphere, the official spring begins at the equatorial March equinox always on March 20-21 st in the Gregorian calendar. In the French translations only, the word spring was translated from the word 04456 latter rain. The Bible speaks only of 2 seasons: the summer and the winter. Psalms 74:17 You have set all the borders of the earth: you have made summer [qayits 07019 summer, harvest] and winter [choreph 02779 winter, cold]. Again, the modern Bible translations and the world have introduced the 4 wordly seasons into the Bible which has only 2 seasons. Yet we may understand the origin of the 4 seasons in the 4 quadrants of the year in Enoch's calendar.

9.5 The Land Cycle and its Sabbath
(August 11, 2016)
The weekly cycle of 7 days has been clearly established in the Bible from the beginning (see 9.2 The Week). We find also the same concept of a 7 year cycle through all the Bible. It is also a weekly cycle in years with a Sabbath rest for the land in the 7th year. In the case of the yearly cycle, we must distinguish the land cycle from the Father YHVH's basic calendar cycle. The land cycle begins around the September equinox whereas Father YHVH's calendar begins after the March equinox in Jerusalem (see 9.4 The Year). We thus have the concept of the week applicable in 7 years where the 7th year is a sabbatical rest for the land. Leviticus 25:4 But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHVH; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut. In the case of the 7th day Sabbath, the rest is for man and animals. In the case of the 7th year, it is the Sabbath rest for the land. The sabbatical year is simply the 7th year of the land cycle during which we must not sow nor harvest anything. That is why the Sabbath of the land is applicable in the natural annual land cycle for the region of Jerusalem. In that region, there is sowing in winter and harvesting from spring to fall starting with barley to the fruits in the fall. In other regions, the seasons and land cycles vary according to latitudes. From the beginning, YHVH's original calendar followed the natural cycles because it is synchronised with the spring equinox. Moses knew the natural earthly cycle from being educated in Egypt but he did not know about YHVH's original calendar revealed by Enoch years before. Somehow, the Israelites had lost any knowledge of YHVH's original calendar after all these years of living in Egypt ending in slavery. The angel YHVH had to instruct Moses in this original calendar. It is interesting to note that in YHVH's calendar, the land cycle is defined by the Jubilee year which begins on the 10th day of the 7th month (The Day of Atonement) and ends at the Day of Atonement of the following year (see 10.8 The Day Atonement and 9.6 The Jubilee). Interesting also, Jerusalem's fall equinox coincides almost exactly with the Day of Atonement. This land cycle corresponds to the annual natural sowing-harvest cycle in the region of Jerusalem in the north hemisphere. It is important to note that the following verse clearly forbids to sow during the 7th year of the land cycle. We must distinguish from the 7 th year of the calendar which is 6 months removed. We must understand this distinction. Otherwise, a triple harvest would be necessary every 7 th sabbatical year. In the 7 year cycles, a triple harvest is only required before the year of Jubilee during which sowing and harvesting are forbidden also (see 9.6 The Jubilee). In the case of the sabbatical year without a Jubilee year, a double harvest on the 6 th land year is required to feed during the 6th and the 7th calendar years (see 9.5.1 Diagram.) Leviticus 25:4 But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHVH; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut. 690
Let us note that this Sabbath of the land is still in honour of Father YHVH ( v.4 ). Thus, the sabbatical year for the land must be observed during the 7 th year of the land cycle found between 2 consecutive Days of Atonement beginning on the 6th year of Father YHVH's calendar (see 9.5.1 Diagram). It is a Sabbath of the land and not a Sabbath for man or animals. Obviously, the work load will be reduced for man and animals, as a consequence and not as a command for man to rest. This rest of the land will allow man to carry out other activities such as the reading of Father YHVH's law which is commanded during the land sabbatical year, at the Feast of Tents (see 10.9 The Feast of Tents and 8.6.3 The Reading of the Law). Exodus 23:10 "Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce, 11 "but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field may eat. In like manner you shall do with your vineyard and your olive grove. The verses above make reference to the natural land cycle and not to the calendar cycle. The annual rest is applicable to the land in its land cycle whereas the Sabbath for man is weekly. So we must distinguish this land cycle fixed in the 7th month (winter) from the calendar cycle which begins on the 1 st month (summer). The land cycle corresponds to the natural sequences in Jerusalem to sow in winter and to harvest in summer (see 9.5.1 Diagram). This natural cycle is confirmed with the Wave Omer Offering at the beginning of the summer ( 1st month) with a omer of barley freshly harvested (see 10.5 The Wave Omer Offering). This harvesting was excluded during the sabbatical year. The land cycle is a natural cycle that may have been used by ancient peoples as a calendar using the equinoxes and the solstices as reference points. In the north hemisphere, the September equinox was probably recognized as the beginning of winter and the March equinox as summer (see 9.4.3 The Year vs the Equinox). In fact, in YHVH's calendar, the Day of Atonement is very close to the September equinox. But the people of YHVH were given a distinct calendar when they were commanded to start their month at the time of Abib the green ears, that is, in summer. Again we may have another distinction between the nations' calendar and YHVH's calendar. Man must normally work during the sabbatical years of the land. The Sabbath days for men and animals are separately ordered from those of the land. The year of Jubilee is established after 7 sabbatical cycles of 7 years ( 49 years). The Jubilee year is the 50 th year which is also the 1st year of the next 49 year cycle (see 9.6 The Jubilee). The concept is identical to the Feast of Weeks which is the 50th day (Pentecost) but also the 1st day of the following week (see 10.6 Feast of Weeks). Just as we do not add a day as the 50 th day to break the 7 day cycles, we do not add a 50th year to break the 7 year cycles. The Jubilee cycle is 49 years, i.e. 7 weeks of years.

9.6 The Jubilee Year
(August 11, 2016)
According to the Bible, years are counted in cycles of 7 years where the 7 th year is declared to be a Sabbath rest for the land without sowing nor harvests (see 9.5 The Land Cycle and Its Sabbath). The year of jubilee is declared after 7 cycles of 7 years ( 49 years), i.e. in the 50th year of the land cycle. The jubilee year is announced with the sound of the shofar, on the Day of Atonement, on the 10th day of the 7th month of Father YHVH’s calendar (see 10.8 Day of Atonement). Leviticus 25:9 ‘Then you shall cause the trumpet [07782 shophar ram's horn] of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 ‘And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. 11 ‘That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. 12 ‘For it is the jubile; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field. 13 ‘In this Year of jubile, each of you shall return to his possession. It is necessary to distinguish between the land Cycle of the earth from Father YHVH’s calendar cycle. The year of jubilee is the 50 th year which is a Sabbath rest during which no sowing nor harvest are allowed. The year of jubilee (50 th year) follows a sabbatical year (49th year) when it is forbidden to sow and harvest also. Thus, at the time of the jubilee year, there are 2 consecutive years of Sabbath rest of the land, i.e. without sowing, nor harvest. Leviticus 25:20 ‘And if you say, "What shall we eat in the seventh year, since we shall not sow nor gather in our produce?" 21 ‘Then I will command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it will bring forth produce enough for three years. 22 ‘And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old produce until the ninth year; until its produce comes in, you shall eat of the old harvest. The harvest of the 6th year preceeding the jubilee year should thus supply the food for 3 years (see 9.6.1 Diagram). During the year of jubilee, all the families are returned to their ancestral lands which always remain the property of each family or tribe forever (see 8.6.2 The Jubilee). The year of jubilee is the 50th year which corresponds to the agricultural cycle and goes from the 10th day of the 7th month of the 49th year of Father YHVH's calendar to the 10th day of the 7th month of the next year. The 50th year (the jubilee year) is also a sabbatical year for the land. Some people assert that the cycle of the jubilee is of 50 years, that the jubilee occurs every 50 years and they add one year in the cycles of 7 years. The Bible gives no such instruction. To 693
protect the continuity of the cycles of 7 years, the cycle of the jubilee is 49 years and not 50 years. Indeed, the biblical verses mention the series of 7 years or weeks of years, thus not allowing that the cycles of 7 years be discontinued (by the addition of one year in the 50th year). Furthermore, the Book of jubilees excludes such compilation of the years by counting only in repetitive cycles of 7 years (see 9.6.1 Diagram). There are numerous calculations as to where we are situated at present in these cycles. Firstly, in which year are we (from 1 to 7) in the 7 year cycle? Secondly, in which of the 7 weeks of years of the jubilee cycle are we situated (from 1 to 7) ? The first question must be answered first if we wish to observe correctly the 7th sabbatical year and the reading of the Law at the Feast of Tents. The answer concerning the jubilee is less important for us because Yahushua will accomplish the Law of the jubilee after his return to earth to establish the Kingdom of Father YHVH on earth. The Jubilee year is a national law to be implemented by the national autorities. Individuals do not have the autority to do so. We do not really need to know the year of the jubilee beforehand. Yet, if we were farming, we would keep it. In accordance to Father YHVH’s promises, it would be possible to confirm where we are situated in the sabbatical cycle today simply by examining the agricultural productivity during the last years. Indeed, knowing that the harvests of the 6th agricultural year give a double portion, the examination of the statistics of annual productivity for passed years in divers countries could be a very valid indication. That information is not on hand at this time. According to a historic study of the New Testament, Yahushua declared a year of jubilee at the beginning of his ministry. According to a certain calculation of the date of the Tiberius' rule, this declaration of the jubilee would be in year 27 CE (see 9.8 The jubilee of 27 CE). In that case, we could determine the next jubilee year according to the duration of the cycle. On the basis of 49 year cycle and the Gregorian years, the next jubilee would be in 2036-37 (see 9.9 Current Years). The sabbatical year began on the Day of Atonement in September 2014 when we should have read the Law at the Feast of Booths or Tents. Yet, there is a possibility that the Jubilee year will be based on the celestial calendar rather than the earthly calendar. In that case, the calculations are different since the celestial calendar may have less days than the Gregorian and earthly cycle. Independently of the year of the jubilee, several prophesied events will take place some years before (see 11.8 The End of this Age).

9.7 The 3rd and 6th Years The tithe of the 3rd year of the sabbatical cycle of 7 years is dedicated to the poor and to the orphans of the body of Yahushua within our doors, that is, within our cities to help them to keep the Solemnities of Father YHVH. Deuteronomy 26:12 “When you have finished paying all the tithe of your produce in the third year, which is the year of tithing, giving it to the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your towns and be filled, Some biblical versions are translated as 'every 3 years'. Thus, we must give our tithe of the 3rd year and the 6th year so that the other people of the elect congregation in our cities of residence may also celebrate the solemnities of Father YHVH. That makes more sense in view of the double harvest in the 6th year that allows to keep the solemnities of the 7 th year with the reading of the law. These tithes are not applicable to the needs for long-term subsistence. In any cases, for those who pay taxes in this evil world, there are systems of social security to help the poor. As for all the tithe, the system is local, that is, all the tithes and offerings are for elect in our localities and are not to be sent to a head office of some association which grows rich at the expense of foreign communities. That is a reproach which is made to the so-called modern ministers who reject all the laws of Father YHVH except tithing which they take for their personal comfort and their self-interests. Ezekiel 34:2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says YHVH: Ah, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep? 3 You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep. 4 The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the injured you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them. Contrary to certain teachings of so-called scholars, all are expected to keep the solemnities in the place which Father YHVH has chosen. It may be at home or outside of their city even if they have given their tithe of the 3rd year and 6th year. All are expected to make a diligent management of the capital of the 2nd tithe and to accumulate funds to observe the solemnities outside. Besides, it is evident that it is thanks to Father YHVH's blessings that anyone may observe His solemnities. There should be enough in the 80 % left of all the blessings to make a reserve for the solemnities. It is obviously not the case with the curse of the excessive taxes of this evil world. __________________________________________________________________________________ 696

9.8 The Jubilee Year of 27 CE It is important to understand the declaration which Yahushua made in the context of the jubilee during the time of his ministry. He read in the synagogue the following texts taken from the scroll of Isaiah. Luke 4:17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, 18 “The Spirit of the Lord [Father Creator] is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord [Father Creator]’s favor.” 20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. These texts come from Isaiah 61. Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of YHVH GOD is upon me, because YHVH has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of YHVH’s favor, Apparently, he did not pronounce the following verses of Isaiah concerning the wrath to come. ... and the day of vengeance of our El; His first advent did not concern the wrath but only grace. Yahushua made this declaration in the context of a jubilee year (see 9.6 The jubile), that is of the 50th year when the poor are released from their debts and retuned on their ancestral lands if they had lost them because of misfortue or poverty. It was a declaration according to the law of the jubilee where the whole year is to pardon the inhabitants of their debts (see 8.6.3 The Jubilee Year). Leviticus 25:9 Then you shall sound the loud trumpet [07782 shophar] on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet [07782 shophar] throughout all your land. 10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his clan. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines. Many biblical scholars recognize the context of this declaration by Yahushua as 698
being the jubilee year. In that case, Yahushua read these texts on the Day of Atonement where the shofar (ram's horn) of the jubilee was sounded (see 10.8 in The Day Atonement). Contrary to the other biblical events, this day can be determined in time thanks to the details which are given in the New Testament writings. Luke 3:1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of Father Creatorame to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. So, John the Baptist began his ministry during the 15 th year of the reign of Tiberius. It is from this reference that the correspondence in the current Gregorian calendar can be determined. At a first examination of the historic records, several historians establish the beginning of the reign of Tiberius in 14 CE. However, after more ample researches, we find some historians who recognize that Tiberius rather began in 12 CE as co-regent with August who died in 14 CE. Among others, this historic fact is supported by William Smith in his Biblical Dictionary. So, the preaching of John the Baptist began in 26 CE, the 15th year of Tiberius. John baptized in the Jordan in 26 CE and he baptized Yahushua also. Matthiew 3:13 Then Jesus [ Yahushua] came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. Luke 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Yahushua also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” Being 6 months older than Yahushua, John the Baptist was 30 years old which is the legal age to preach and minister as a teacher. John was thus able to begin his ministry 6 months before Yahushua. It is difficult to determine exactly Yahushua's ministry. It lasted at least 2 years because 3 feast days of Passover are mentioned and a 4th feast is mentioned which could probably be another Passover. If his ministry began on the day of Atonement in 27 CE when he declared the jubilee year, then it would be 2 and a half years. If his ministry began at the preceding Passover in 27 CE, it would be 3 years covering Passover in 28, 29 and 30 CE (see the diagram 6.4.01 His Ministry). What seems more certain is that the combined period of preaching by Yahushua and by John would have lasted at least 3 and a half years. The ministry of Yahushua obviously ended at his death in 30 CE. Thus, we can determine the declaration of the jubilee year by Yahushua in year 27 EC, having been baptized by John who was later put in prison and killed by Herod the tetrarque. 699
From this jubilee in 27 EC, it is possible to determine all the sabbatical cycles and the past and future jubilees because the jubilee cycles are 49 years (see 9.5 The Land Cycle and its Sabbath and 9.6 The jubilee).
700
9.9 The Current Years By means of the calculations of the modern calendars and YHVH's calendar, it is possible to determine approximately certain important dates. For example, it is possible to determine the agricultural cycles including the years of jubilee according to the year of jubilee declared by Yahushua in 27 CE in our current earthly system (see 9.8 The Jubilee of 27 CE). However, we must distinguish the earthly calendar from the celestial calendar. The astral clock formed by the sun, the moon and the stars was disordered from the great flood with regard to the celestial clock or calendar which remained faithful and unchanged in the absolute time (see 9.04 The Celestial Calendar). Based on the sabbatical agricultural cycles of 7 years and on the jubilee cycles of 49 years, the following table shows the sequence of the years of the current cycle of jubilee. This cycle began in 1987 CE which was the 1 st year of the 41th jubilee according to the jubilee in 27 EC. According to Jonah' sign, the world had 40 jubilees (1960 years) to repent after the warning of messiah in 27 CE, that is until 1987 CE (27 CE + 1960 years = 1987) (see 11.02.6.4 For The Humanity). The world not having repented, the destruction has thus begun and will become intensified until the return of Yahushua. The last sabbatical year was in 2014 CE from the Day of Atonement in September 2014. We must do the reading of the law during the 7 days at the Feast of the Tents which begins on the 15 th day of the 7th month. The years indicated below begin in the Gregorian dates of the Day of Atonement on the 10th day of the 7th month of every year. The Day of Atonement marks the beginning of the years in the land cycle where no sowing nor harvest are allowed during the 7th agricultural year. The same ban applies to the year of jubilee which occurs after 7 cycles of 7 years (49 years), that is the 50 th year, being also the 1st year of the following cycle (see 9.6 The Jubilee). The sabbatical cycles are called weeks of years in the Bible and the Book of the Jubilees.The day of the real equinox of September in Jerusalem and the Day of Atonement are often very close, even on the same day. Thus, the agricultural cycle is clearly defined. Considering the time gap which began from the great flood between the celestial calendar and the earthly calendar, the years of the earthly calendar differ from the years of the celestial calendar. The following table shows the years of the celestial calendar calculated with the time gap from the great flood corresponding to the current Gregorian years. The next year of jubilee could also possibly be observed according to the celestial calendar and would correspond then in the Gregorian year to 2021-22 CE. The chronology of the last days implies the prophetic application of the Day of Atonement and could also include the sabbatical year which precedes the year of the jubilee. According to the actual preliminary calculations, the years shown for the celestial calendar are not integer values which represents a desynchronization of the seasons with the earthly calendar.
701
702
9.10 The Millenial Day There is a concept of time which must be considered in the counting of the years. Indeed, the Bible confirms several times that time is seen differently by our Father Creator YHVH: a day for Him is 1000 years for us. 2Peter 3:8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. So, we can understand that the warning given to Adam concerned a day of YHVH, that is 1000 years. Genesis 2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Jubilees 4:28. And at the end of the nineteenth jubilee, in the seventh week, in the sixth year thereof, Adam died, and all of his sons buried him in the land of the creation of Adam, and he was the first to be buried in the earth, and he lacked seventy years of one thousand years ; for one thousand years are like one day in the testimony of heaven, ' and therefore it was written concerning the tree of knowledge : " On the day on which ye eat thereof ye shall die." 29. And for this reason he did not complete the years of this day ; for in it he died. We know that Adam died at the age of 930 years, that is during the day of 1000 years for YHVH. That is why, some have understood the application of this concept to humanity as having 6000 years or 6 millenial days to learn the lesson through hard labours. There is a concept that would see Yahushua return to earth after the 6000 years of human toil. The 7th day millennium, on the other hand, represents the rest or the Sabbath of humanity under a Just Government, that is the Kingdom of YHVH under the administration of Yahushua the messiah. This difference in time between our Father Creator and us, can also explain the gap on the perceived visible age of the creation of billion years in contrast to its real age of 6000 years revealed by the Bible (see 4.4 The Age of the Creation).
703
9.11 Prophetic Calculations The calculations of prophetic times should correspond to real time. For example, according to Enoch's revelation, the 12 months of the annual calendar all have a duration of 30 days (see 9.01 Diagram and 9.02 Rules). For example, when the Bible specifies a duration of 42 months, we can count 42 X 30 days = 1260 days. However, must we take into account the intercalary days added during the 42 months and the epagomenen days required in the current cycle of 365,25 days? Also, must we attribute 360 days or 364 days to the prophetic year? The expression, 3 times and half a time, could result according to this calculation: 360 days X 3.5 = 1260 days or 364 days X 3.5 = 1274 days. However, the current cycle of the earth is of approximately 365,2423days. In that case, must we take the real annual earthly calendar cycle or the annual cycle of the celestial calendar as a prophetic year? So, 3 times and half a time could thus correspond to several values, where from the impossibility to calculate exactly the times. In the calculation of the 7 prophetic solemnities of the plan, it is plausible that some could take place according to the celestial calendar in contrast to the earthly calendar (see 9.05 The Celestial Calendar). Obviously, the difficulty is that we do not know exactly the current date in the celestial calendar. Yet, a prototype chronology has been produced with the present revelations which show only some possibilities but not no definite scenarios (see 4.3.6 End Times). Certain theorical dates were obtained by using the reference system of the Julian day which is useful for the years AEC and EC (see 9.11.01 The Julian Day).
704
9.11.01 Julian Day There is a universal system for dating past years which allows to calculate past dates in a uniform and trustworthy manner. That is the Julian Day numbering which is based on the Julian Calendar as defined in Wikipedia. The Julian Day Number (JDN) is the integer assigned to a whole solar day in the Julian day count starting from noon Greenwich Mean Time, with Julian day number 0 assigned to the day starting at noon on January 1, 4713 BC, proleptic Julian calendar (November 24, 4714 BC, in the proleptic Gregorian calendar). [1] For example, the Julian day number for January 1, 2000, was 2,451,545.[2] The Julian Date (JD) of any instant is the Julian day number for the preceding noon in Greenwich Mean Time plus the fraction of the day since that instant. Julian Dates are expressed as a Julian day number with a decimal fraction added.[3]For example, the Julian Date for 00:30:00.0 UT January 1, 2013, is 2,456,293.520833.[4] End of quote. The Julian Day system is appropriate to calculate and identify certain past dates. For example, the year 30 CE calendar which is apparently the year of Yahushua's death and resurrection, shows the Passover day on Wednesday April 5 (see 6.4.8.2 Calendar 30 CE). In the Julian system, that day is numbered 1732110.

9.11.02 Diagram The following table is based on the mathematical calculations deducted from YHVH's calendar revealed in the Book of Enoch (see 9.11 Prophetic Years). The results are evidently only suggestive and non definitive. They are presented as to open our spirit to alternative ways to understand the inspired words of YHVH. Certain non confirmed hypothesis have been used to produce a preliminary scenario for discussion and correction purposes.

9.13.0 Year of Resurrection 30 CE In the calendar described in the books of Enoch and Jubilees, we should be able to confirm or infirm the exact year of Yahushua's crucifixion. Now, we know from the Qumran texts that the Passover falls on the 3 rd day of the week on the 14th day of the 1st month. In particular, using the scientific computed data of past natural astral phenomenons, we should be able to verify the dates of the equatorial equinoxes. Given that the day of equinox in Jerusalem occurs 1 to 3 days before the world equatorial equinox, we could therefore confirm or infirm certain years. Indeed, the 1st day of the month must fall on a 4th day so that the 14th day may fall on a 4th. To verify which year is possible, theorical scenarios have been compiled in the following sections for the years 27 CE to 33 CE using the following dates for the so-called equatorial equinoxes obtained from scientific authorities.
707
9.13.1 Year 27 CE The calendar below shows the calendar with the configuration of the days of Unleavened Bread with the Passover on Wednesday according to the particular sequence of the year of crucifixion of Yahushua. The day of the week of the socalled world equatorial equinox is shown according to the Observatory of the United States. As a validation trial, the equinox of Jerusalem is placed on Tuesday in this calendar. Indeed, to be a valid year for the crucifixion in Enoch's calendar, the day of equinox must occur on Tuesday. First, we verify the proximity of the day of equinox in Jerusalem (Tuesday) before the world equatorial equinox to note the number of days which separate them, the maximal number being of 3 days. For the year 27 CE, the Jerusalem equinox would need to be 5 days before the equatorial equinox and thus is an impossible scenario. Indeed, the Jerusalem equinox may be 1 to 3 days before the equatorial equinox, no more. The use of the equatorial equinox instead of the Jerusalem equinox makes this scenario impossible also. Thus, the year 27 CE is not possible for both types of equinoxe in Enoch's calendar. Note that the proleptic Gregorian dates are used below. The calendar below is thus not a valid configuration.
708
9.13.2 Year 28 CE The calendar below shows the calendar with the configuration of the days of Unleavened Bread with the Passover on Wednesday according to the particular sequence of the year of crucifixion of Yahushua. The day of the week of the socalled world equatorial equinox is shown according to the Observatory of the United States. As a validation trial, the equinox of Jerusalem is placed on Tuesday in this calendar. Indeed, to be a valid year for the crucifixion in Enoch's calendar, the day of equinox of Jerusalem must occur on Tuesday. First, we verify the proximity of the day of the equinox of Jerusalem (Tuesday) preceding the world equatorial equinox to note the number of days which separate them, the maximal number being of 3 days. In this trial case, the Jerusalem equinox would be 6 days before the equatorial equinox and thus is an invalid scenario. Indeed, the Jerusalem local equinox may be 1 to 3 days before the equatorial equinox, no more. In Enoch's calendar, the use of the equatorial equinox instead of the Jerusalem equinox would show a possible scenario. Note that the proleptic Gregorian dates are used below.
709
9.13.3 Year 29 CE The calendar below shows the calendar with the configuration of the days of Unleavened Bread with the Passover on Wednesday according to the particular sequence of the year of crucifixion of Yahushua. The day of the week of the socalled world equatorial equinox is shown according to the Observatory of the United States. As a trial, the equinox of Jerusalem is placed on Tuesday in this calendar. Indeed, to be a valid year for the crucifixion in Enoch's calendar, the day of Jerusalem's equinox must occur on Tuesday. First, we verify the proximity of Jerusalem's equinox (Tuesday) preceding the world equatorial equinox to note the number of days which separate them, the maximal number being of 3 days. The Jerusalem equinox would need to be on the same day as the equatorial equinox and thus is an invalid scenario. In Enoch's calendar, the use of the equatorial equinox instead of the Jerusalem equinox would show a possible scenario because it occured on Tuesday.
710
9.13.4 Year 30 CE The calendar below shows the calendar with the configuration of the days of Unleavened Bread with the Passover on Wednesday according to the particular sequence of the year of crucifixion of Yahushua. The day of the week of the socalled world equatorial equinox is shown according to the Observatory of the United States. As a validation trial, the equinox of Jerusalem is placed on Tuesday in this calendar. Indeed, to be a valid year for the crucifixion in Enoch's calendar, the day of Jerusalem's equinox must occur on Tuesday. First, we verify the proximity of Jerusalem's equinox (Tuesday) preceding the world equatorial equinox to note the number of days which separate them, the maximal number being of 3 days. In particular, we can see that the Jerusalem equinox would be 2 days before the equatorial equinox and thus is a possible scenario. Indeed, the Jerusalem local equinox may be 1 to 3 days before the equatorial equinox, no more. The use of the equatorial equinox instead of the Jerusalem equinox would show an impossible scenario. As detrmined from Luke's account in relation with a possible dating of Tiberius' reign, indeed, the year 30 CE appears as the year of Yahushua's death and resurrection.
711
9.13.5 Year 31 CE The calendar below shows the calendar with the configuration of the days of Unleavened Bread with the Passover on Wednesday according to the particular sequence of the year of crucifixion of Yahushua. The day of the week of the socalled world equatorial equinox is shown according to the Observatory of the United States. As a trial, the equinox of Jerusalem is placed on Tuesday in this calendar. Indeed, to be a valid year for the crucifixion in Enoch's calendar, the day of equinox must occur on Tuesday. First, we verify the day of proximity of the equinox of Jerusalem (Tuesday) preceding the world equatorial equinox to note the number of days which separate them, the maximal number being of 3 days before. The Jerusalem equinox would need to be 3 days before the equatorial equinox and thus is a possible scenario. The use of the equatorial equinox instead of the Jerusalem equinox shows an impossible scenario.
712
9.13.6 Year 32 CE The calendar below shows the calendar with the configuration of the days of Unleavened Bread with the Passover on Wednesday according to the particular sequence of the year of crucifixion of Yahushua. The day of the week of the socalled world equatorial equinox is shown according to the Observatory of the United States. As a validation trial, the equinox of Jerusalem is placed on Tuesday in this calendar. Indeed, to be a valid year for the crucifixion in Enoch's calendar, the day of Jerusalem's equinox must occur on Tuesday. First, we verify the proximity of Jerusalem's equinox (Tuesday) preceding the world equatorial equinox to note the number of days which separate them, the maximal number being of 3 days. In particular, we can see that the Jerusalem equinox would be 4 days before the equatorial equinox and thus is an invalid scenario. The use of the equatorial equinox instead of the Jerusalem equinox would also show an iinvalid scenario. Thus the year 32 CE is apparently not the year of resurrection.
713
9.13.7 Year 33 CE The calendar below shows the calendar with the configuration of the days of Unleavened Bread with the Passover on Wednesday according to the particular sequence of the year of crucifixion of Yahushua. The day of the week of the socalled world equatorial equinox is shown according to the Observatory of the United States. As a validation trial, the equinox of Jerusalem is placed on Tuesday in this calendar. Indeed, to be a valid year for the crucifixion in Enoch's calendar, the day of Jerusalem's equinox must occur on Tuesday. First, we verify the proximity of Jerusalem's equinox (Tuesday) preceding the world equatorial equinox to note the number of days which separate them, the maximal number being of 3 days. In particular, we can see that the Jerusalem equinox would need to be 5 days before the equatorial equinox and thus is an invalid scenario. The use of the equatorial equinox instead of the Jerusalem equinox would also show an impossible scenario. Thus the year 33 CE is apparently not the year of Yahushua's resurrection.

9.14 Astronomy Definitions The different technical terms of astronomy are supplied below for your information. Civil twilight is what most people mean when they talk about twilight. It starts in the morning when the centre of the Sun’s disk is 6 degrees below the horizon, and ends at sunrise. In the evening civil twilight stars at sunset and continues until the centre of the Sun’s disk is 6 degrees below the horizon. During civil twilights the sky is still bright enough that, in general, artificial illumination will not be needed when doing things outside. In reality though, most councils switch lights on a fixed time after sunset (say 30 minutes) and turn them off a fixed time before sunrise, rather than relying on the Sun’s angular distance below the horizon. Nautical twilight is when the Sun’s disk is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon. During nautical twilight it is still possible to distinguish the sky from the distant horizon when at sea, thus allowing sailors to take measurements of bright stars against the horizon. Most of us would consider this “dark”, but it is still technicaly twilight. Astronomical twilight is when the Sun’s disk is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon. During astromical twilight you’ll no longer be able to tell the sky from the distant horizon when at sea, but crucially for astronomers, there is still light in the sky. Not much – indeed most of us would say it’s properly night time at this point – but the faintest objects in the sky, such as nebulae and very dim stars, will only be visible after astronomical twilight ends. Also, if you intend to measure how dark the sky is using a Sky Quality Metre, say, it is important to wait till after astronomical twilight. Conjunction: the meeting of celestial bodies in the same longitude or straight line with regard to a point of the Earth, i.e. the situation of two celestial bodies or more when their longitudes are the same - they seem to be in line with one another. The dates and hours of the lunar conjunctions are available on the following link: Http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/ docs/MoonPhase.ht ml Twilight hours : The precise hours of twilights can be generated for any location at the following link: Http: // aa.usno.navy.mil / cgi-bin / aa_rstablew.pl The data for Jerusalem can also be generated by using the following data therein: longitude 35 ’ 19 east, latitude 32 ’ 34 North and 2 hours east of Greenwich. Equinox: the equinox is the moment when the sun crosses the equator of the Earth. It produces generally, night and day of equal duration but not everywhere on the Earth at the offical date. It arrives twice during the year: once in March and once in September. The date of equal night and day varies according to the latitude. The data are available on the following link: Http: // aa.usno.navy.mil / dated / CD-ROMs / EarthSeasons Greenwich Mean Time: the mean solar time of the meridian passing through Greenwich, in England. Gregorian calendar: the re-formed Julian calendar introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII and in actual use. According to this calendar the common year consists of 365 days (12 months) and 366 days in a leap year. Days begin at 715
midnight in the Gregorian calendar. Latitude: the north or south angular distance of the equator from a point on Earth, measured in degrees. Longitude: the angular distance in the East or in the West measured in degrees of certain meridian (lines from North Pole to South Pole) of the Earth. Usually, the meridian passing through Greenwich, in England is used. Luni-solar: connected or based on the relations or the relative actions of the moon and the sun (for example luni-solar cycle). The hour of rising / setting moon: these hours depend on moon phases – i.e. on the completely dark new moon, the full moon and first and the second quarters. The moon rises and sets every day like the sun. New Moon: the astronomical lunar conjunction, sometimes known as the dark moon, occurs by definition at the time of the conjunction in the ecliptic longitude with the Sun, when the Moon is invisible from the Earth. This is a near alignment of sun moon and earth. They are almost never perfectly aligned since this would cause an eclipse every month with the path on the equator. There a only 2 or 3 eclipses per year. New moon in the modern Bible translations: the intercalary day as defined in the Book of Enoch. In the annual calendar cycle, there are 4 partitions each comprising 1 intercalary day and 3 months of 30 days. The intercalary days are days of memorial to be observed as holy days and holy convocations. The solar time: measured or defined according to the movement of the Earth in relation to the sun. Sunrise: first appearance of the sun in the morning. Sunset: the descent of the sun - the last appearance of the sun during evening. Universal time: the system of measurement of time based on the mean time at Greenwich but counted from the hour 0, which is equivalent to midnight, time in Greenwich. Data for the dates of equinoxes http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/EarthSeasons Celestial Calendar : The annual calendar which was initiated at creation to control/direct/measure all cycles of the celestial bodies including the earth. This celestial calendar or clock is still in effect today to determine Father YHVH's solemnities although the earthly cycle has broken away after the flood caused by man's rebellion. We have no certain method to find the its true correspondance with the earthly cycle. Thus, we are unable to determine with certainty the exact time, years and days we are actually living in.

10. YHVH's Solemnities The solemnities commanded by Father Creator are enumerated in the Bible, in the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The solemn days are called solemnities because they are not always feasts nor festive days. For example, the solemn Day of Atonement is very solemn and not festive at all. In the past, Father Creator YHVH's elect have always kept His solemnities according to His calendar. Today, the elect must still keep His solemnities according to His commands and according to His calendar (see 9.0 YHVH’s Calendar). If any solemnity is not kept on the exact day commanded in Father YHVH’s calendar, it is not His solemnity but rather the solemnity of some other one or simply a common day. If we do not keep the correct days for Father Creator’s solemnities, we are not in effect His active spiritual people, at least, not until He reveals to us the correct days. We may only be part of His physical people, i.e. the physical descendants of the 12 tribes. We are not His active elect, not as long as we would keep someone else's solemnities and someone else's laws and traditions (see 12.5 The Identified Tribes). His elect must come out of this spiritual, economical and political Babylon to keep His solemnities just as the Israelites came out of Egypt. The Bible clearly shows us certain days as being set apart since the beginning, such as the 7th day Sabbath in Father YHVH's honour. It will be shown in the following sections that all the consecrated weekly Sabbath days, the intercalary days (head of trimesters called new moons) and the annual solemnities must be kept at their appointed times in Father Creator’s calendar. In particular, the 7 annual solemnities listed in Leviticus 23:1-44 represent each step of the plan of salvation (see 11. YHVH's Plan in 7 Solemnities). Leviticus 23:1 YHVH spoke to Moses: 2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: These are My appointed times, the times of YHVH that you will proclaim as sacred assemblies. 3 “For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a Sabbath of complete rest, a sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; it is a Sabbath to YHVH wherever you live. 4 “These are YHVH’s appointed times, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times. 5 The Passover to YHVH comes in the first month, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the month. 6 The Festival of Unleavened Bread to YHVH is on the fifteenth day of the same month. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly; you are not to do any daily work. 8 You are to present a fire offering to YHVH for seven days. On the seventh day there will be a sacred assembly; you must not do any daily work.”..... Thus, the list in Leviticus 23 concerns exclusively the solemnities which are also 718
prophetic steps in the plan of salvation. It includes the 7 th day Sabbath as it represents the 7th millennium and the kingdom of Father YHVH on earth represented by the Feast of Tents (see 11.6.0 The Feast of Tents). This 7th millennium will be a spiritual rest after 6000 years of hard labour. In regard to the plan of salvation, the 4 solemn intercalary days before each division in the biblical calendar do not represent any step in the plan and are thus excluded from the book of Leviticus. It will shown that, although it is rejected or ignored by most, these intercalary days are part of Father YHVH's solemnities to be kept during this era (see 10.2 The 4 Intercalary Days). These solemnities and these holy days are also commanded holy convocations which should not be voluntarily neglected (see 10.13 The Holy Convocations). Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon [intercalary day], or of the sabbath days: Except for the weekly Sabbaths and the 4 intercalary days, the solemnities are annual. As shown in the following sections, here are Father YHVH's solemnities, consecrated and holy days and sabbatical days: 1) The weekly solemnity of the 7th day Sabbath (See 10.1 The Sabbath) 2) The quaterly solemnity of the intercalary day called the new moon (See 9.3.2 and 10.2 The Intercalary Day) 3) Yahushua's Passover (see 10.3.4 Yahushua's Passover) 4) The Feast of Unleavened Bread (see 10.4 Unleavened Bread) 5) The Wave Omer Offering (after the weekly Sabbath following the 14 th day, always on Sunday) (See 10.5 The Wave Omer) 6) The Day of the Feast of Weeks (always on Sunday) which is on the 50 th day counting from the day of the Wave Omer on Sunday and the additionnal feasts (See 10.6 the Feast of Weeks) 7) The Day of Trumpets, the 1 st day of the 7th month (see 10.7 The Day of Trumpets) 8) The Day of Atonement as a complete fast, the 10 th day of the 7th month (see 10.8) 9) The Feast of Tents of 7 days (from the 15 th day of the 7th month) (See 10.9 The Feast of Tents or Booths) 10) The Day of Addition called the Last Great Day (the 22 nd day of the 7th month) (See 10.10 The Day of Addition) 719
The sabbatical days and certain prescribed solemnities must be kept as days of rest and cessation of common secular servile work and/or commercial transactions (see 10.12 Servile Work). All of Father YHVH's solemnities are commanded according to His calendar, i.e. according to the biblical calendar. Also, several important events in the perfect plan of Father Creator will occur/begin specifically on the days of the commanded solemnities. Each of the 7 prophetic solemn days represent a definite period of time that leads to the fulfillment of the perfect plan. The dates of the annual solemnities of Father Creator may be supplied for some coming years in the following sections. You may also view them in full screen slide show on the site Onedrive and/or download them (see 13. Download).
10.1 The Sabbath The 7th day of the week is a day of rest which was established on the 7 th day of the creation week. Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day El ended his work had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all which he had made. 3 And El blessed the seventh sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all which El created and made.
which he his work day, and his work
The 7 day week cycle was probably used as a part of the natural calendar by Adam's descendants from the beginning. After their departure from Egypt, the Sabbath day rest was shown and commanded to the chosen people in the wilderness. This day of rest was clearly explained to them with the manna which fell from heaven only 6 days a week. It did not fall on the Sabbath day. People had to collect it 6 days but not on the 7th day a Sabbath. A double portion was given to them on the 6th day so that they may rest on the Sabbath day, the 7th day (Exodus 16:11-35).
Exodus 16:25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath to the LORD : to day you shall not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. 720
Afterward, this command was again given to them on the tablets of the 10 commandments at Sinai, as the 4 th commandment (see 8.2.4 The Sabbath, the 4th command). The Sabbath is a sign between the Father Creator and His people to identify them among all the peoples of the earth. The law of the Sabbath was never changed neither by Yahushua, nor by his apostles, but remains the same (see 10.1.1 The Newly Found Sabbath). Exodus 31:16 Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the sabbath, observing the sabbath throughout their generations, as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign for ever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’" 18 And he gave to Moses, when he had made an end of speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of El.
The elect of the people of Father YHVH are thus identified by the observance of the Sabbath and of other Father YHVH's laws. The Sabbath is again repeated as a solemnity also.
Leviticus 23:1 And YHVH spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, Concerning the feasts of YHVH, which you 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 [07676 shabbath] of rest [07677 shabbathown], an holy convocation; you shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of YHVH in all your dwellings. 4 These are the feasts of YHVH, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons.
The Hebrew words 07676 and 07677 together indicate a total and solemn rest from our normal work and activities as a solemnity in memory and honor to Father YHVH. The Sabbath must be observed from sunset to sunset (9.1 The Day). The Sabbath is simply observed by not working on the common things which are normally carried out on the other 6 days. We must prepare the food on the previous day (on Friday), called justly the day of preparation. We must not buy nor sell on Sabbath days. 721
Nehemiah 10:31 And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
We find more details in the Book of Jubilees:
Jubilees 50: El, who has given it to you as a festival day; and a holy day it shall be, and a day of the holy kingdom, for all Israel this day, among your days, in all the days. 8. For great is the honor which the Lord has given to Israel to eat and to drink and to be satisfied on this festival day, after resting on this day from all the work of the children of men, except burning frankincense and bringing offerings and sacrifices before the Lord on the days and the Sabbaths. 9. This work alone shall be done on the Sabbath days, in the sanctuary of the Lord your El, so that these shall appear over Israel as a constant atonement, day by day, as a memorial, which is acceptable before the Lord and received forever, day by day, as I have commanded thee. 10. And every man who does any work on this day, or makes a journey, or works his land, be it in the house or at any other place, and whoever lights a fire or rides upon any beast, or travels by ship upon the sea, and everyone that strikes or kills anything, or kills an animal or a bird, and who catches an animal and bird and fish, and who ontends or engages in war on the Sabbath day, the man that does any of these things on the Sabbath day, shall die, so that the children of Israel shall observe the Sabbaths, according to the command of the Sabbath of the land, as it is written on the tablets of heaven, which he gave into my hands, that I should write for thee the laws of the times, and the different times in the division of their days.
This day should be dedicated to the Only Creator to worship Him, to do good works, to rest from servile work, to meditate, to pray, to rejoice, to study and to read the Bible, if possible in meetings with brothers of same Faith, in acts of assistance to brothers in need or isolated, etc. The Sabbath day is the basis for the observance of the solemnities. The day before a Sabbath day is called a day of preparation wherein we must prepare the food and all other work in anticipation of the needs on the Sabbath day. For 722
example, cleaning the house and washing and doing all the domestic tasks must be made before the Sabbath day. It is thus necessary to plan beforehand and to warn people sometimes that we are not available for work on the Sabbath day. Most of the national laws forbid the persecution and discrimination related to work because of absence to keep the Sabbath which is then considered as a religious practice. Yahushua and his followers observed the Sabbath of the 7 th day without exception, as the laws of YHVH require it. Luke 23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. … 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon [intercalary day], or of the sabbath days: Hebrew 4:9 There remains therefore a rest to the people of Creator Father.
The Sabbath day is a sign for the people of Father YHVH but it is not the only sign (see 3.1 The Essential Doctrines). Thus, some people observe the weekly Sabbath but reject the other solemnities and\or Father YHVH's laws. But if we sin in a single law, it is like breaking them all.
James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
10.1.1 The Newly Found Sabbath There are prophecies found in the Book of Jubilees which state that the 7 th day Sabbath would be lost. What can we understand from the following verses concerning the Sabbath days? Lamentations 2:6 He has laid waste his booth like a garden, laid in ruins his meeting place; YHVH has made Zion forget festival and Sabbath, and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest. Jubilees 1:10. And many will be destroyed and will be taken captive and will fall into the hands of the enemy, because they 723
have deserted my ordinances and my commands and the festivals of my covenant, and my sabbaths and that which I have sanctified to myself in their midst, and my tabernacle and my sanctuary which I have sanctified to myself in the midst of the land that I should set my name over it and it should dwell there, ii. And they will make to themselves altars on heights and groves and sculptured idols, and each one will worship his own idol for sin, and they will offer their children to the demons and to all the deeds of the error of their hearts. Jubilees 6:31. But if they do transgress and do not observe them according to his commandment, then will be corrupted all their fixed dates, and the years will waver in consequence, and also their times and their years, and they will transgress their ordinances. 32. And all the children of Israel will forget and will not find the paths of the years, and will forget the new moon and the sabbaths and the festivals, and in all the order of the years they will err. Jubilees 6:34 And there will be those who will make observations of the moon, for this one [the moon] corrupts the stated times and comes out earlier each year by ten days. 35. And in this way they will corrupt the years and will observe a wrong day as the day of testimony and a corrupted festival day, and every one will mix holy days with unclean ones and unclean with holy ; for they will err as to months and sabbaths and festivals and jubilees. 38. For this reason I command and testify to thee that thou mayest testify to them; for after thy death thy children will disturb (them), so that they will not make the year three hundred and sixty-four days only, and for this reason they will go wrong as to the new moons 1 and seasons and sabbaths and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh. The above verses announce that all the children of Israel would forget the calendar and misplace the solemn days. We have seen this with the lunar calendar from the modern Pharisees which has been adopted by many so-called Christian associations as they beleive that these pharisees are supposed to hold the holy oracles, also the holy calendar. However, how is it possible that even the 7th day weekly Sabbath could be lost or forgotten? In the eyes of the world, it is absolutely inimaginable that Saturday in the Gregorian cycle is not the 7th day Sabbath as recognized by modern Judaism. If the prophecies in the Book of Jubilees are true for the complete calendar and the annual holy days, would they not be true for the 7 th day Sabbath also? Yet, nor the Book of Enoch nor the Book of Jubilees reveal a hint regarding a method to establish the 7th day Sabbath in Enoch's calendar. 724
However, certain scrolls discovered at Qumran, near the Dead Sea, give precise details on the sequence of the 7 th day Sabbaths for each of the 12 months in Enoch's calendar (see 2.3.1.2 Dead Sea Scrolls Texts). Among others, for the 1 st month, a list of the 7th day Sabbaths is given: Sabbath falls on the 4 th day of the month, on the 11th day of the month, on the 18th day of the month, etc. In that case, we can determine that the 1st day of the 1st month would fall on the 4 th day of the week. This is a repeated pattern to be a perpetual calendar. Should we then begin the year on the 1 st day of the month, a Wednesday (4 th day of the Gregorian week)? That is exactly what some Enoch calendar adepts have decided to do. They propose to begin the 1 st month on the first Wednesday after the equinox. That is not the conclusion supported in this work. Besides that interpretation, it is shown in this work that the 4 supplementary intercalary days are placed at the head of the 4 partitions or seasons and consequently, they precede each partition (see 9.3.1.2 New moon day vs 1 st day of the Month and 9.4.2 Head of Months). Consequently, the 1 st day of the year is a supplementary intercalary day which always falls on the 3rd day of the week. Furthermore, can we discover a method to establish the correspondance of Enoch's weekly cycle with the Gregorian calendar from the day of true equinox in Jerusalem? Enoch's instructions are clear : the 364th and last day of the cycle is the day of equinox. In that case, the 1 st day of the 364 day sequence must begin on such a day after the day of equinox so that the 364 th day falls on the day of equinox. In that scenario, we generally insert 1 or 2 blank days after the day of equinox before beginning the 364 day sequence. That blank day will generally compensate for the difference between the actual 365,242 day cycle and the 364 day cycle. In this method, it may be that on some years, there will more than 1 blank day. If the first day of the first month is the 4 th day of the week according to Qumran and if the 364th and last day is the day of the equinox, it follows that Enoch's weekly cycle is determined solely based on the day of the equinox, without respect to the Gregorian weekly cycle. Enoch's 7 th day Sabbath cycle is thus established independently of the Gregorian cycle and independently of the Gregorian Saturday (Sabbath for modern Judaism). In 2016, for example, the day of the real equinox in Jerusalem is March 16, 2016, a Wednesday, while for 2017, the day of the equinox is March 16, 2017, a Thursday. For the 364th day to fall on the day of the equinox March 16, 2017, the first day of the 364-day sequence is to be March 18, 2016, a Friday. We must therefore insert a blank day, March 17, 2016 before beginning the year of 364 days. As mentioned, this new year is the first intercalary additional day which is Enoch's third day of the week. In 2016, the 1 st day of the year corresponds to the Gregorian Friday, March 18, 2016. In this case, according to the Qumran texts, the 1st day of the 1st month falls on the 4th day of the week of Enoch, a Gregorian Saturday 19 March 2016. We can then deduce that for 2016, Enoch's 7 th day Sabbath corresponds to the Gregorian Tuesday, ie from Monday sunset to Tuesday sunset. Each year, one must repeat the exercise to find the correspondence between the 7th day Sabbath in Enoch's calendar and the 725
Gregorian calendar. It is important to note that the position of the 4 intercalary days of memorial is critical to properly start the calendar year. This work proposes that 4 intercalary days are also Noah's 4 days of memorial. Some scholars and followers of Enoch's calendar interpret the texts in order to create two distinct sets of 4 days: 1) 4 intercalary days placed at the end of the 4 partitions as 31st days 2) 4 days of memorial located on the 1 st day of the 1st month, the first day of the 4th month, the 1st day of the 7th month and the 1st day of the 10th month. This interpretation to create 2 sets of 4 days is contrary to the following verses of Jubilees where the 4 days of memorial are called the days of the seasons and therefore identified also as the intercalary days (see 10.2 The 4 Supplementary Intercalary Days of Memorial). Jubilees 6: 23 And on the new moon of the first month, and on the new moon of the fourth month, and on the new moon of the seventh month, and on the new moon of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year. These are written and ordained as a testimony for ever. 24. And Noah ordained them for himself as feasts for the generations for ever, so that they have become thereby a memorial unto him.

10.2 The 4 Intercalary Days Many Bible scholars and students may beleive that ancient Israel did set apart the day of lunar conjunction (new moon) based on the modern biblical translations which are misleading. However, according to a recent revelation, in the Bible, the term new moon designates rather the intercalaray day which is described in the Book of Enoch as 4 holy days in Father YHVH's calendar. A whole new reading of the modern text is necessary to understand the proper use of these intercalary days. In fact, we must take up the Book of Enoch to find the answers.
Enoch 75:1 And the leaders of the heads of the thousands, who are placed over the whole creation and over all the stars, have also to do with the four intercalary days, being inseparable from their office, according to the reckoning of the year, and these render service on the four days which are not 2 reckoned in the reckoning of the year. And owing to them men go wrong therein, for those luminaries truly render service on the world-stations, one in the first portal, one in the third portal of the heaven, one in the fourth portal, and one in the sixth portal, and the exactness of the year is 3 accomplished through its separate three hundred and sixty-four stations.
As shown in this work, these 4 days are intercalated before the 1st month, the 4th month, the 7th month and the 10th month which correspond to the portals or gates described by Enoch (see 9.3.2 Intercalary Days). We must utterly substitute the term new moon by the term intercalary day to come to the correct interpretation. It is because of the false Jewish lunar calendar that the whole wolrd and most brethren ignore the observance of YHVH's calendar and the 4 intercalary days. The term new moon in the modern translations, as a lunar conjunction, was a masterly trap in which many have fallen. These days must be kept as memorial days and holy days.
Jubilees 6:21. And at the new moon [intercalary day] of the first month, and in the new moon [intercalary day] of the fourth month, and in the new moon [intercalary day] of the seventh month, and in the new moon [intercalary day] of the tenth month are the days of remembrance and the days of the festivals in the four divisions of the years : written and ordained they are for a testimony until eternity. 22. And Noah ordained them for himself as festivals for 727
future generations, for on them there was to him a remembrance.
As denonced many times, the modern translations have induced the brethren and the whole world in error. The Gregorian calendar represents an incorrect human version of Father Creator's calendar. There are several biblical examples which show an observance of the intercalary day (incorrectly translated as new moon). Indeed, we find several biblical verses showing the observance of the intercalary day with the assembling of the people of Israel, including its kings and prophets (see 10.2.2 Holy Convocations). Whereas most cannot nor wants to recognize any observance for the intercalary day during the present age, the objective of this work is to bring to light the biblical verses which reveal clearly a certain observance. The author has compared the Greek Septuagint version (OT) with the modern translations of the Bible. As a preliminary warning to the reader, several verses found in the modern translations simply hide certain words and concepts which the Septuagint reveals clearly in Greek (see 2.6 Difficult Verses). These omissions and corruptions in the modern translations obviously undermine the observance of the intercalary day as they confuse several other true doctrines. For example, the Greek word neomenia found in the Septuagint confirms the intercalary day as being an intercalary day translated from the Hebrew word 02320 chodesh (see 9.3.1 Neomenia and the Intercalary Day).
Many such omissions mislead the readers of the Bible so that they ignore YHVH's calendar and the intercalary day. In face of such imperfect and misleading modern translations, we should understand why there is so much confusion among the brethren concerning the observance of YHVH's calendar and the intercalary day and the other essential doctrines. Although the lunar cycle was used by many peoples as a clock in the sky since its creation, the angel of YHVH revealed to Moses the calendar to be observed. The angel YHVH commanded Moses to observe the annual cycle of YHVH's calendar instead of the calendar which was observed in Egypt and which he knew. Exodus 12:2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Thus, the annual cycle of YHVH's calendar was revealed to Moses from this 1st day of the year as Father YHVH's sacred calendar. The validity of the annual solemnities depends on the exactness of this intercalary day and on the exactness of this 1st month in the annual cycle. The 4 intercalary days are set apart in the Bible with the Sabbath days and the other solemnities as it will be shown in the biblical verses below. To set apart a day means to sanctify it and making it holy for the Father's use. The Book of Jubilees confirms more exactly these intercalary days. Some reject the observance of the intercalary day 728
because it is omitted in Leviticus 23 where the other solemn days and the day of weekly Sabbath are enumerated. Many reject the observance of the intercalary day called New Moon because it is omitted from Leviticus 23 listing the other solemn days and weekly Sabbath days.
Leviticus 23:2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, Concerning the feasts [04150 mow‘ed fixed time, convocation, solemnity, etc.] of YHVH, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts [04150 mow‘ed fixed time, convocation, solemnity, etc.]. The verses of Leviticus 23:1-44 enumerate the solemnities to keep, including the 7th day Sabbath, the annual solemnities of the 1 st month and the solemnities of the 7th month with the Feast of Weeks in between.
There is a good reason why the observance of the intercalary day is not listed in Leviticus. The list in Leviticus 23 concerns exclusively the solemnities related to the plan of salvation, those which represent the steps in the prophetic accomplishment of the plan. It includes the 7th day Sabbath which represents a spiritual rest after 6000 years of hard labor. In the plan of salvation, the weekly Sabbath prefigures the 7th millennium and the kingdom of Father YHVH on earth represented by the Feast of Tents (see 11.6 The Feast of Tents).
The intercalary day is excluded from the book of Leviticus because it does not represent any step in the plan of salvation. As it is shown in the Bible, in the Book of Enoch and in this work, the intercalary day is clearly included in Father YHVH's solemnities to be kept also during this present age. That is why the intercalary day called new moon is set apart and listed together with the Sabbath days and the other solemnities in many verses of the Bible, not only the OT but in the NT also. There must be a the common denominator between the intercalary day and all those holy days, solemnities and Sabbath days. They are evidently enumerated together because they belong in the same category, that is, a memorial or a day of rest or a holy convocation or a day used for animal sacrifices or all of the above. We must diligently search the Bible and other Books to find what was commanded and/or what was done by the people in obedience to the command.
The animal sacrifices which were commanded on the intercalary day called new moon day were 5 times more numerous than the Sabbath day (see 8.3.2 Number 729
of Animal Sacrifices). If animal sacrifices had any spiritual value, the intercalary day is more important than the Sabbath day. If those who call themselves Christian today reject the observance of the Sabbath day, all the more they also reject the observance of the intercalary day. Yet Paul confirmed or reminded the new covenant believers of the necessity to observe the Sabbath day, the solemnities and the intercalary day called new moon according to the laws that the elect knew already (see 2.6.16 Colossians 2:16).
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon [3561 noumenia intercalary day], or of the sabbath days:
Indeed, the elect should be careful not to reject any commanded solemnity based on incorrect Bible translations and personal interpretations. In the old covenant, people would bring animals to be sacrificed at the temple and to eat of them. As a logic necessity, such activities on the Sabbath day required the people to take leave from their normal activities, besides the command to rest from servile work. Indeed, as the people were commanded to go to the temple and/or to hold a holy convocation on the Sabbath days, so also the same necessity evidently applies to the other solemn days. Such a cessation from normal servile activities is also evident on the intercalary day which had more animal sacrifices.
The holy convocations are confirmed both for the Sabbath days and for the intercalary days for the future millenium in the following verses.
Ezekiel 46:1 “Thus says YHVH: The gate of the inner court that faces east shall be shut on the six working days, but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon [intercalary day] it shall be opened.....3 The people of the land shall bow down at the entrance of that gate before YHVH on the Sabbaths and on the new moons [intercalary days].
Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon [intercalary day] to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, said YHVH.
Although these verses are prophetic, they do not eliminate for the present 730
age the Sabbath day observance as many so-called Christians do reject today. In the same logic, the intercalary day observance in this present age is in no way eliminated more than the Sabbath day. Unless we would ignore all the verses that prove otherwise in the Bible, there is no real opportunity to reject the intercalary day observance in this present age. The intercalary day is no more no less prophetic than the Sabbath day. In fact, as the Sabbath day observance is prophetised in the millenium as a confirmation of its eternal status, so the intercalary day is also sustained as a statute for ever. No one can deny that the Sabbath day was instituted in the beginning. The intercalary day as a solemn day was lost until it was revealed again at the time of the exodus from Egypt. Psalms 81:3 Blow up the trumpet [07782 ram's horn] in the new moon [intercalary day], in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the El of Jacob. 5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. All admit that the intercalary days (translated as new moons) will be as important as the Sabbath days during the millenium because they are mentionned together in Ezek. 46:1. We should not fail to apply the same consideration for the intercalary day when it is mentionned many times with the Sabbath day and the other solemnities in the OT and the NT. Logically, the intercalary day has equal importance where it is mentionned with the others. Any other consideration would represent a risk of rejecting a commanded observance. On the other hand, we may argue that there is no known penalty for not observing the intercalary day. In the old covenant, was there a penalty for not assembling at the blowing of the shofar on the intercalary day or on the Sabbath or on the other days ? Was the blowing of the shofar discriminated against or ignored only on the intercalary day ? As the elect should also know, the holy convocations are still commanded on the Sabbath days and the intercalary days as Paul confirmed and reminded the elect in this present age. Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon [3561 noumenia intercalary day] or a Sabbath.
The elect do not reject the observance of Father YHVH's laws on food nor the observance of the solemnities nor the observance of the Sabbath days. Why would they reject the observance of the intercalary day (translated as new moon)? The above verse indeed confirms the observance of the Sabbath and the intercalary day called new moons for the elect in the new covenant. 731
Because of this confirmation in Colossians, it is not possible to postpone its observance until the millennium since it applies to the new covenant elect in the present age. In fact, the Greek term noumenia νουμηνια G3561 used in the new covenant as the intercalary day observance is found in the Greek Septuagint (OT) for over 20 verses (see 9.3.1 Biblical Neomenia and 2.2 Translations).
This reminder of the intercalary day in the new testament should compensate for the omission in the book of Leviticus. Many such cases of omission can be seen in the Bible. For example, in Matthew 19:16-19, Yahushua was asked by a young rich man what he should do to inherit eternal life ? Yahushua's answer did not include all the commandments nor all details of the law. In the world, some use such omissions to say that the law is abolished or somehow not to be obeyed.
Some claim that they cannot find a sufficiently clear command in the OT for them to observe in any way the intercalary day. They should read the Book of Enoch and find it there. If ancient Israel did keep the day called new moon in the OT, as many recognize, the justification or command must exist in the OT. Logically, how can the justification exist in the OT for ancient Israel to keep the intercalary day but not for modern Israel ? Is something missing or incorrect in the modern translations or is it being ignored by the modern Bible students ? From the evidence of the observance by ancient Israel, modern Israel should also keep the intercalary day with the same justification but also from the Book of Enoch.
Yet we will procede further to search for any observance of the intercalary day.
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
To begin, we will examine the verses related to the intercalary day and/or the head of month in regard to any observance.
Besides the verses in Ezekiel and Colossians above, the holy convocation on the intercalary day is confirmed in many other verses in the Bible as shown below (see 10.2.2 Holy Convocations).
Psalms 81:3 Blow up the trumpet [07782 ram's horn] in the new moon [intercalary day], in the time appointed, on our solemn feast [02282 chag] day. 4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the El of Jacob. 732
This above verse commands us to blow the shofar on the intercalary day as a solemn feast day. Amongst other things, the blowing of the shofar, is a call to assembly as on all solemn days. The erronuous interpretation of the term new moon which designates rather the intercalary day and not the lunar conjunction, causes confusion concernant le Jour des Trompettes le 7ème mois. Many believe that the above verse applies only to the 7th month. In fact, the concept exceeds the 7th month because this law was given in the 1 st month when they left Egypt as revealed in verse 5 below.
Psalms 81:5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
Indeed, we find a confirmation that the blowing of the trumpet was commanded on all intercalary days.
Numbers 10:10 And in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in your new moons [intercalary days], ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings and over your sacrifices of peaceoffering; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your El: I am Lord [YHVH] your El.
In the above verse, we are commanded to blow the trumpet as a memorial on all solemn days and the intercalary day equally. How can anyone reject the observance of the intercalary as a holy convocation in face of the clear commands in the above verses ?
In the following verse we can see that the intercalary and the Sabbath days were specifically set aside to hear the prophets. Indeed, the husband did not expect his wife to visit the prophet on any another day than on the Sabbath or the intercalary day (translated as new moon).
2 Kings 4:22 And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray you, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of El, and come again. 23 And he said, Why will you go to him to day? it is neither new moon [intercalary day], nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well. 733
As regard the observance of a holy convocation on the intercalary day, the above verses should be sufficient to convince the elect (see 10.2.1 Holy Convocations). But we have a direct confirmation in the Book of Enoch. To a few brethren, these holy convocations did occur and are thus indeniable. Indeed, it should be the elect's priority to obey Father YHVH's laws and be present at His holy convocations. As the weekly Sabbath was clearly commanded and kept in the OT by the elect, it was also kept in the new testament by Yahushua, his apostles and the elect. Yet, today, many so called Christians reject the 7 th day Sabbath observance. Inspite of certain flaws and omissions in the modern translations regarding the intercalary day observance, we must not neglect any evidence found in the Bible. We should weight in the risk of openly rejecting one of Father YHVH's law as stated in Psalm 81:4.
Psalms 81:4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the El of Jacob.
As for any other requirements or other restrictions on the intercalary day, we must look further. We find the following verses.
Amos 8:5 Saying, When will the new moon [intercalary day] be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? Nehemiah 10:31 And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day [06944 qodesh]: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
In the verses above, it is forbidden to buy or sell on the Sabbath days. That is also evident from the strict requirements of the Sabbath days and the holy days (see 10.1 The Sabbath and 10.13.1 Requirements). Thus, it is not allowed to sell our personal services in all types of work on the Sabbath day. Is the intercalary day included in that restriction ? The intercalary day is included with the Sabbath in Amos 8:5 above. It appears that the people were waiting for the intercalary day to be ended as to eagerly proceed with buying and selling with deceitful balances. They were evidently scolded for their deceitful commerce but they nevertheless held back from commerce on the intercalary day.
Verse 31 in Nehemiah above applies this commercial prohibition to the other holy 734
days, that is, the other set apart days. Again, the intercalary day may well be qualified as a day set aside for Father YHVH's purpose. This 'holiness' of the intercalary day is the important underlying reason why the intercalary day is listed many times together with the Sabbath days, the holy days and the other solemnities as shown in the verses below.
1Chronicles 23:31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices to YHVH in the sabbaths, in the new moons [intercalary days], and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually before YHVH;
In the above verse, the intercalary day is listed just after the Sabbath days and before the set feasts or solemnities as in the following verses. How can we reduce the importance of the intercalary day as a feast day when no such reduction is applied to the other days ?
2Chronicles 2:4 Behold, I build an house to the name of YHVH my God [Ulhim], to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons [intercalary days], and on the solemn feasts of YHVH our God [Ulhim]. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. 2Chronicles 8:13 Offering every day what had been ordered by Moses, on the Sabbaths and at the new moon [intercalary days] and at the regular feasts three times a year, that is at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents. 2Chronicles 31:3 And he gave the king’s part of his private property for the burned offerings, that is, for the morning and evening offerings, and the offerings for the Sabbath and the new moons [intercalary days] and the regular feasts, as it is recorded in the law of YHVH. Ezekiel 45:17 And the ruler will be responsible for the burned offering and the meal offering and the drink offering, at the feasts and the new moons [intercalary days] and the Sabbaths, at all the fixed feasts of the children of Israel: he will give the sin-offering and meal offering and burned offering and the peace-offerings, to take away the sin of the children of Israel.
We note in verse 4 above that this is an ordinance for ever. As we know, the cessation of the animal sacrifices during this present age on the Sabbath days and the solemn days, has not removed their observance as solemn days nor as holy convocations. Logically, the observance of the intercalary day is not 735
abolished although the animal sacrifices have ceased during this present age. Furthermore, the intercalary day is also used by the Word of YHVH to speak to his prophets. This would also confirm a holy convocation where the prophets must evidently set aside normal servile activities to be available for teaching the people of Israel but also to be instructed by the Word of YHVH.
The observance of the intercalary day is subject to personal perception and interpretations that may motivate us to keep it as a holy day or to regard it as a common day. At this time, we must consider the examples in ancient Israel and what is found in the Bible;
1) the intercalary day was more important than the Sabbath day since it had 5 times more animal sacrifices 2) the shofar was blown to call to assembly on the intercalary day as on Sabbath days and solemn days 3) the Word of YHVH was adressed to the prophets on the intercalary day 4) several times people would meet the prophets on the intercalary day for teaching 5) the intercalary day is enumerated several times with the Sabbath day and the solemnities in the OT and the NT because it is also a solemnity to keep as the others
In consideration of the above activities on the intercalary day and the Book of Enoch, the author is convinced to keep the intercalary day at least as a holy convocation and at most as a day of minimal servile work. Although there is insufficient details to consider the intercalary day as a strict Sabbath day, nevertheless, a holy convocation does require time off from our normal activites. As it was used in the past, the intercalary day should be a good day for studying and discussing biblical questions with the brethren. Although there is no well established penalty for not keeping the intercalary day, we do not keep a day or obey any law for fear of penalty but to please our Father Creator YHVH. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ 736

10.2.1 Sanctification In Father Creator's perfect plan, reconciliation is a fundamental concept (see 11.02 Reconciliation). Reconciliation is carried out through Yahushua's sacrifice. In the old covenant, the animal sacrifices prefigured the atoning sacrifice of Yahushua. The solemnities symbolically describe the development of this plan (see 11.0 The Plan of YHVH in 7 Solemnities). However, even if the intercalary days called new moons are not an integral part of the plan as the other solemnities, they serve in the process of sanctification (see 9.3.2 Intercalary Day). The sacrifices of animals temporarily removed the sins of the people. The great number of sacrifices on the intercalary days implied a relatively important role in this aspect. Indeed, we discover the intercalary day of the 1st month and the intercalary day of the 7th month playing a specific role in the sanctification of the people in Ezekiel shown below. As we know, it is the 2 months which include the greatest number of solemnities. For example, the solemnities of the 1st month, beginning with the pascal sacrifice of Yahushua, represent the first stages of the plan of salvation. In contrast, the solemnities of the 7th month represent the last stages of the plan, of which is the Day of Atonement constitutes the last stage of purification and final reconciliation for the elect in the 1st resurrection. In this context, the intercalary days preceding the 1 st and 7th month are specifically appointed in the following verses according to a corrected translation (see Difficult Verses 2.6.1 Ezekiel 40:18-20). Ezekiel 45:18 So speaks YHVH: before the first month, you will take a young bull without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary. 20 You will do the same at the seventh month, for those who sin involuntarily or by ignorance; you will so cleanse the sanctuary. According to verse 18, the process of sanctification would begin on the 1st intercalary day (1st month) for the sanctuary. In verse 20, the sanctification would proceed from the 3rd intercalary day (7th month) but this time for the people who sin involuntarily by ignorance. From the perspective of 2 stages of sanctification, we can see that it begins with the saints (the sanctuary) as they reach the final purification (1st resurrection) before the rest of humanity. So, the rest of humanity would be later cleansed and saved in the 2 nd resurrection. In other words, all those who are baptised and have the Holy Spirit when Yahushua returns, will be part of the sanctification of the 1st month and take part in the final purification and receive incorruptibility and immortality. The rest who are part of the sanctification of the 7th month will be saved in the flesh and blood to live and enjoy the millenial paradise.
738
10.2.2 Holy Convocations We find in the Bible many verses which report assemblies of the people of Israel on the intercalary day (translated as new moon). How can we logically explain such assemblies unless they were officially commanded ? In Psalm 81:5, we have the clear command to assemble on the intercalaray days called new moons but somehow, most reject such a command and a law. Psalm 81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon [intercalary day], in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the El of Jacob. 5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. In the following verses, we find the assembling of the people on the intercalary day as a confirmation of its holy convocation. Again, many verses confirm that holy convocations were regularly held on the intercalary days called new moon days as on the Sabbath days as shown below. Isaiah 1:12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons [intercalary days] and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. These holy convocations are confirmed again when they were held with a banquet every new moon day at the king's court. 1 Samuel 20:18 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon [intercalary day]: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.... Furthermore, several Bible verses show us that the Word of YHVH was adressed to the prophets on the intercalary days called new moons, confirming its observance as a day of teaching, implying the assembling for such a purpose.
739
10.3 Passover You will find here below a summary of the Passover prescriptions, its historic origin (see 10.3.1 The 1st Passover), its application according to the old covenant (10.3.2 In the Old Covenant) and the changes arisen with the new covenant (10.3.3 In the New Covenant). It is essential to know the historic facts first and then to understand its different applications. As a prophetic step and prefigured in the Passover commanded since Egypt, Yahushua's sacrifice began the perfect plan of salvation of our Father Creator YHVH (see 11.0 The Plan of YHVH in 7 Solemnities). In the old covenant In the old covenant, Passover was the lamb which was sacrificed in the 14 th of the 1st month and which offered the protection of the firstborns during passage of the destroying angel during the following night, that is of 15th day. This sacrifice was commanded during the daylight part of the 14 th (between the 2 nights - afternoon).
day the the day
Leviticus 23:5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is YHVH’s passover. Numbers 9:5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that YHVH commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. Numbers 28:16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD. Joshua 5:10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho. 2 Chronicles 30:15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of YHVH. 2 Chronicles 35:1 Moreover Josiah kept a passover to YHVH in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. Ezra 6:19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. Ezekiel 45:21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. The Passover in the old covenant prefigured the atoning lamb, that is Yahushua who would be killed as the perfect sacrifice. In the new covenant Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the 740
new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. Yahushua came to accomplish the blood covenant by dying on the stake in our place to take upon himself all our sins. During the present age, Yahushua has eliminated the sacrifical laws by his perfect sacrifice, including the old Passover by replacing it with his new Passover. We absolutely must distinguish the Passover in the old covenant from that of the new covenant. We must now keep Yahushua's Passover as He commanded it (Luke 22.19 do this in remembrance of Me.) The new Passover is commanded today for the elect instead of the old Passover. In the new testament Scriptures, the word Passover may also be used to indicate the complete feast including the 7 days of unleavened bread. By establishing a new Passover ceremony at the beginning of the 14 th day, Yahushua has extended the feast of 7 days with an 8 th day which is a memorial of his death. Although it is not commanded, we may have a moment of reflexion at the 9 th hour on the 14th day for the death of the Lamb Yahushua. That day is not a holy day but the new ceremony is like a new holy convocation which was not commanded in the old covenant. We must avoid any confusion because there is no more a Passover lamb on the 15th day although the feast beginning on the 15 th day is always in effect with its prescriptions (see 10.4 Unleavened bread). We must now keep Yahushua’s Passover as he commanded without however excluding the prescriptions and the commands which remain in effect (see 10.3.4 Yahushua’s Passover). Contrary to the rebellion and the confusion promoted in the world, the laws of YHVH were not abolished but only the sacrifices of animals which have become the sacrifices of the elect who are under the priesthood of Melchisedek.
10.3.1 The 1st Passover In the old covenant, the Passover was the lamb which was killed on the 14 th day of the 1st month. This sacrifice was commanded during the daylight part of the 14th day (between the 2 evenings or nights). Leviticus 23: 5 In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the two evenings, is the passover (06453 pecach) to YHVH (3068 YHVH). Exodus 12:3 Speak unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take themselves each a lamb, for a father’s house, a lamb for a 741
house. 4 And if the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; each according to the measure of his eating shall ye count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats. 6 And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings (06153 ereb). Exodus 12:21 And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Seize and take yourselves lambs for your families, and kill the passover (06453 pecach). Jubilees Chap. XLIX. i. Remember the command which the Lord commanded thee concerning the Pascah, that thou shalt keep it in its time, on the fourteenth of the first month, that thou shalt kill it before the evening come, and that they shall eat it during the night, on the evening of the fifteenth, from the time of the setting of the sun, for this is the first day of the festival and the first Pascah. The people had been instructed by the angel YHVH through Moses to choose a lamb on the 10th day and to kill it on the 14th day and to place its blood on the door posts of their house. Exodus 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They were commanded to stay inside the house during the night of the 15 th day when they watched all night untill morning. Exodus 12:22.... and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. We find that later, the lambs had to be killed outside of their city or before the tent of meeting or the temple (see 10.3. In the Old Covenant). Jubilees 49:13 If they observe the Pascah in its time in everything as they have been commanded, then it is not allowed them to eat it outside of the sanctuary of the Lord, and all the people of the assembly of Israel shall observe it in its time. 14, Every man who is twenty years and above who comes on that day shall eat it in the sanctuary of your God before the Lord, for thus it is written and ordained that they shall eat it in the sanctuary of the Lord. 15. And when the children of Israel come into the land which they shall possess, into the land of Canaan, and plant the tent of the Lord in the midst of the land, within one of their hosts, until the time when the sanctuary of the Lord shall have been built in the land, then they shall come and observe the Pascah in the midst of the tent of the Lord, and shall sacrifice it before the Lord from year to 742
year. The lambs had to be killed between the evenings. We have heard different contradictory interpretations of so-called experts which place this moment between sunset and total darkness. Now, we can henceforth know the true interpretation through Yahushua, the perfect lamb who died at the 9 th hour (see 6.4.8 His Resurrection). Thus, we now know that the lambs were killed between the evening of the 14th day and the evening of the 15 th day, i.e. during the daylight part of the 14th day, i.e. during the period of 12 hours when the sun gives its direct light (see 9.1 The day). We cannot conclude from this verse only that there was a precise hour but the following verse gives another important indication for the time to slaughter the lamb. Deuteronomy 16:6 but at the place that YHVH thy Ulhim will choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even (06153 ereb), at the going down of the sun, at the time that thou camest forth out of Egypt. In the above verse, the same term ereb 06153 appears, i.e. between the 2 evenings. Furthermore, in several English and French versions, the verse above uses the term at sunset. In our modern language, the term means the precise moment when a part of the sun disk begins to fall below the horizon. It is not the meaning used in this verse as it is proved by the death of Yahushua. In this verse, the term indicates the period when the sun has finished its ascent in the sky and has begun its descent, i.e. during the period we now call afternoon. In conclusion, lambs must be killed from the 9th hour. The book of the Jubilees confirms this period for the slaughtering of the Passover lambs from the 3rd part of the day which corresponds to the 9th hour. Jubilees 16. And in the days when a house shall have been built in the name of the Lord in the land of their inheritance, they shall go there and slay the Pascah in the evening, as the sun goes down, in the third part of the day. The slaughter during the afternoon allowed everyone to begin the cooking of the lamb and to prepare the meal to eat it during the night of the 15th day. Exodus 12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in this night roast with fire, and they shall eat unleavened bread with bitter herbs. 9 Ye shall not eat of it raw nor sodden in water, but only roast with fire, the head with the feet and the appurtenances. Verse 8 clearly specifies the night of the 15th day which followed the slaughter of the lamb in the previous afternoon ( 14 th day). We also see that the people had to eat it with some unleavened bread. Exodus 12:43 And YHVH said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat it. 44 "But every man’s servant who is bought 743
for money, when you have circumcised him, then he may eat it. 45 "A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat it. 46 "In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house, nor shall you break one of its bones. 47 "All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. We see in these verses that the Passover was restricted to the assembly of Israel and to the male slaves who were circumcised in the flesh. The foreigners could not eat of it. This precept was strict and cannot be changed and it forbid all uncircumcised males in the flesh to eat the Passover lamb on this 15 th night. We can understand that all people who took refuge in the marked houses did not need to eat of the lamb this night of the 15 th day but only the adults. The firstborns who took refuge in those houses were protected by the blood placed around the door posts and not necessarily by the fact of eating or not the lamb. Exodus 12:13 ‘Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. 14 ‘So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to YHVH throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance. The firstborns were protected by the blood of the lamb. Only the first born were threatened and not all the persons in the land. Note in verse 29 below that the angel YHVH passed in the middle of the night to command the execution of the firstborn. Exodus 12:12 ‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am YHVH. Exodus 12:29 And it came to pass at midnight that YHVH struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock. It is after this meal with the lamb and their deliverance from Egypt that all the people would be baptized in the cloud and in the sea by crossing it on dry foot. 1Corinthians 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2 and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; During their journey in the wilderness, the people were tried and taught during 40 years. When they approached the promised land, the whole generation which had gone out of Egypt refused to believe in the promises of YHVH by refusing to enter it. In spite of all the miracles they had witnessed at the hand of the angel YHVH, they lacked faith. Consequently, all the adults of that generation except 2, died in the wilderness and only their children who were born in the wilderness, entered the promised land. In spite of their baptism, it was clearly not sufficient 744
to enter into the promised land. In the context of the new covenant, their entrance into the promised land is comparable to the 1 st resurrection with the eternal salvation, i.e. immortality. The diagram in 10.3.1.1 shows the sequence of the important events of the 1st Passover. We should not confuse this sequence to understand indeed and correctly keep Passover in the new covenant also.
10.3.1.1 Diagram - The 1st Passover The Sequence of the 1st Passover The diagram below shows the sequence of the important events of the 1st Passover. We should not confuse this sequence to understand and correctly keep the Passover in the new covenant also. Here are some explanations on this sequence: 1) The lambs were killed during the afternoon of the 14 th day. The term between 2 evenings means between the 2 nights, i.e. during the daylight part of the day. Yahushua the messiah died at the correct prescribed time. He confirms the meaning of the term by dying at the 9th hour, which is in the middle of the afternoon of the 14th day. Matt. 27:46 And about the ninth hour Yahushua cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My El, my El, why hast thou forsaken me? 47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. 2) During the afternoon, during daylight, as soon as the lamb was killed by severing the jugular veins, the blood was collected in a basin and placed at once on the door posts. Exodus 12:22 "And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. 3) The lambs had to be entirely roasted whole, which takes several hours of cooking. This certainly began during the daylight immediately after the slaughter. Exodus 12:9 ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire—its head with its legs and its entrails. 4) They ate the lamb in their house during the night of the 15 th day where they 745
had to remain inside until morning. Exodus 12:22... And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. 5) The angel YHVH passed in the middle of the night. Exodus 12:29 And it came to pass that at midnight YHVH smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt,... 6) The Pharaoh called in Moses during the night to cast out the Israelites. After the death of the firstborn during the night in Egypt, the Egyptians were frightened and were then spoiled by the Israelites. Exodus 12:31 And he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve YHVH, as ye have said. Exodus 12:36 And YHVH had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians. 7) There is a certain difficulty to determine the precise moment when the Israelites came out of their house. According to verse of Exodus 12:22 below, they had to wait until morning before going out but according to the verse, this took place in the morning when they were able to go out of their houses. However, according to the verse Deut. 16:1, they would have gone out during the night. What is the solution to the intrigue? Certainly, we can question the correctness of the translations but the solution is not evident. Exodus 12:22... Nobody of you will go out of the house till morning. Deuteronomy 16:1 Keep the month of Abib, and celebrate the passover to YHVH thy El; for in the month of Abib YHVH thy El brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. The order of evacuation by the Pharaoh during the night officially began the exodus from Egypt. The complete sequence is very important and must be correctly established because it must still be kept today but without the sacrifice nor a lamb meal. Indeed, if we wish to apply a night vigil during the observance of the Passover, we shall have to choose (see 10.4 Unleavened Bread).

10.3.2 In the Old Covenant Since the 1st Passover in Egypt, the people of Israel were commanded to keep the solemnity of Passover according to the prescriptions which had been given to Moses. Afterward, every year, the people chose a lamb by group of families on the 10th day of the 1st month and killed it during the afternoon of the 14 th day. The hour at which the Passover lamb was to be killed has been subject of numerous interpretations but Yahushua has definitely settled the question because he was killed at the 9 th hour as the perfect sacrifice (see Difficult Verses 2.6.14 Exodus 12:6). This period of solemnity included the killing of lambs on the 14th day followed by a period of 7 days of unleavened bread which had already been established at the 1st Passover as a memorial of the exodus of Egypt. Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be for you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt. Jubilees 49:13 If they observe the Pascah in its time in everything as they have been commanded, then it is not allowed them to eat it outside of the sanctuary of the Lord, and all the people of the assembly of Israel shall observe it in its time. 14, Every man who is twenty years and above who comes on that day shall eat it in the sanctuary of your God before the Lord, for thus it is written and ordained that they shall eat it in the sanctuary of the Lord. 15. And when the children of Israel come into the land which they shall possess, into the land of Canaan, and plant the tent of the Lord in the midst of the land, within one of their hosts, until the time when the sanctuary of the Lord shall have been built in the land, then they shall come and observe the Pascah in the midst of the tent of the Lord, and shall sacrifice it before the Lord from year to year. Jubilees 49 i. Remember the command which the Lord commanded thee concerning the Pascah, that thou shalt keep it in its time, on the fourteenth of the first month, that thou shalt kill it before the evening come, and that they shall eat it during the night, on the evening of the fifteenth, from the time of the setting of the sun, for this is the first day of the festival and the first Pascah. In verse 14 below, in Egypt, the angel YHVH established the night of the 15 th day as a memorial in a perpetual solemnity for the people of Israel. It is on the 15th day in the middle of the night that the angel YHVH passed over the houses marked with the blood of the lamb to spare them from death. Exodus 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it as a solemnity to YHVH; throughout your generations as an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it. 15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day—that 749
soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16 And on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person—that only shall be done by you. 17 And ye shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall keep this day in your generations as an ordinance for ever. 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening. This annual solemnity is again confirmed with the other solemnities of Father YHVH. Leviticus 23:5 In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the two evenings, is the passover to YHVH. 6 And on the fifteenth day of this month is the solemnity of unleavened bread to YHVH; seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do. 8 And ye shall present to YHVH an offering by fire seven days; on the seventh day is a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do. In verse 5, the sacrifice of the Passover is confirmed again between the 2 evenings on the 14th day of the 1st month. The feast of 7 days of unleavened bread is also renewed to the people with a holy convocations on the 1 st day and also on the last day. This feast was kept since the 1 st Passover by the people more or less faithfully. We can find some restoration of this solemnity by Nehemiah and Ezra. Ezra 6:19 And the children of the captivity held the passover upon the fourteenth of the first month. 20 For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves as one man: they were all pure; and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves. Furthermore, Yahushua, like the other slaughtered lambs, was killed in the place where Father YHVH put His name. Deuteronomy 16:5 You may not sacrifice the passover in one of your gates, which YHVH thy Ulhim gives you; 6 but at the place that YHVH your Ulhim will choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the passover between the two eveneings, at the going down of the sun, at the time that you came forth out of Egypt. Jerusalem is the place where Father YHVH put His name and it is there where Yahushua was killed like several prophets according to the old covenant. Luke 13:33 "Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the 750
day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem. No part of the law concerning this solemnity had even been changed at the time of Yahushua. Circumcision in the flesh of all males was compulsary to eat of the Passover lamb on the night of the 15th day in the old covenant. Furthermore, according to the Book of Jubilees, verse 14 above, only adults of 20 years old could it of it. The day Yahushua was put to death by the Jews and the people of Jerusalem was the 14th day of the 1st month and these Jews were preparing to kill their lambs and eat them during the following night (15th day). Although the Jews had themselves replaced certain commands with their human rabbinical traditions, the prescriptions of the solemnity were perfectly applied in the case of the sacrifice of Yahushua. Indeed, Yahushua's sacrifice on the stake took place entirely according to the prescriptions of the old covenant as the perfect sacrifice for Father YHVH. In fact, his whole life was in complete respect for the laws of his Father YHVH, including the circumstances of his death as the spotless perfect lamb. John 1:29 The next day John saw Yahushua coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of Father YHVH who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:36 And looking at Yahushua as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of Father YHVH!" After the death and the resurrection of Yahushua, the solemnity of Passover, including the sacrifices of lambs, continued according to the old covenant only among the Jewish authorities which had rejected him and this, until the destruction of the temple in 70 EC. At these times of the end (2015), there are apparently people today who still keep this solemnity by killing a lamb according to the old covenant. In the same manner, traditionnally, others have a lamb killed at the butcher house (in disrespect of the prescriptions) to eat of it during the night of the 15th day according to the old covenant. The elect are called to follow their master Yahushua in the new covenant and not to follow the rebellious modern Jews in the old covenant and their traditions (see 10.3.3 In the New Covenant).
10.3.3 In the New Covenant It is important to examine the new covenant in contrast to the old covenant (see 3.2 The New Covenant). The laws of Father YHVH have not been abolished. Some people assert that the new covenant abolishes the old covenant but they abolish at the same time Father YHVH's laws to replace them with laws and human 751
traditions. Father YHVH's laws are indeed far from being abolished but on the contrary, they are/will be written in the hearts and the spirits of men instead of tables of stone. Jeremiah 31:33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, says YHVH: I will put my law in their inward parts, and will write it in their heart; and I will be their El, and they shall be my people. Hebrew 8:10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Father YHVH: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their El, and they shall be My people. It is essential to note in these verses that these laws are the same laws of Father YHVH that are / will be written in the hearts. This new covenant excludes other foreign laws which oppose Father YHVH as do the modern or old human laws and traditions. As explained previously, Passover and the 7 days of Unleavened bread remain compulsory for the people of Father YHVH but according to the new covenant and not the old covenant. Father YHVH's solemnities are not abolished and the Passover must now be kept by the disciples of Yahushua with the new prescriptions. There is a new Passover and there is an old Passover. Yahushua's Passover is the new ceremony that he commanded which is also called the Lord’s Supper. The Passover of the old covenant has been replaced by the Passover of the new covenant, Yahushua's Passover. The lamb of the old covenant has been replaced by the bread and the fruit of the vine of the new covenant. According to a new revelation and contrary to human traditions, this fruit of the vine must be non alcoholic. The same prescriptions of the laws of Father YHVH remain except for the sacrifice of the lamb which has ceased. Indeed, Yahushua was killed on the stake at the 9th hour of the 14th day of the 1st month as the perfect sacrifice according to the laws of Father YHVH once for all (see 6.4.8 The Resurrection of Yahushua). 1Corinthians 5:7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed messiah Yahushua, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Yahushua cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My El, My El, why have You forsaken Me?" Luke 23:44 Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. 46 And when Yahushua had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’" Having said this, He 752
breathed His last. The 9th hour does not always correspond to 15h00 localy which is used from tradition (see 9.1.2.0 The 3rd and 9th Hours). According to the old prescriptions, the people put aside a lamb on the 10 th day of the 1st month and ate during the night of the 15th day, the lamb which had been killed during the afternoon of the 14th day. Only the circumcised males in the flesh were legally allowed to eat this Passover lamb on this 15th day. In the new covenant, the Yahushua's disciples do not sacrifice any more a lamb as it was prescribed but instead consume some unleavened bread and some fruit of the vine. The animal sacrifices have ceased after the destruction of the temple in 70 EC, even among the Jews who reject Yahushua. In all cases, animal sacrifices have obviously ceased also among his disciples with the death and resurrection of Yahushua, since the necessity of this sacrifice was fulfilled. Hebrew 9:12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.... 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.... 25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another—— In the new covenant, according to Yahushua's example and command, we keep his new ceremony of Passover called Yahushua’s Passover during the night of the 14th day. It is a memorial of his death when he was sacrificed as the Passover lamb prefigured since the 1st Passover in Egypt. Hebrew 10:10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Yahushua messiah once for all. 1Corinthians 5:7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed messiah Yahushua, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. According to the new covenant, we are henceforth commanded to keep the new Passover, i.e. to eat bread and drink some fruit of the vine representing the lamb according to Yahushua's prescriptions since he is our Passover. This annual ceremony commemorates to us his death until he returns. It was proposed that the 10th day of the 1st month, we put aside the fruit of the vine and the ingredients of the bread to be prepared for the ceremony of Yahushua’s Passover as he commanded. Luke 22:19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. 753
1Corinthians 11: 23 For I received from the Lord Yahushua that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Yahushua on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord Yahushua’s death till He comes. We keep his new prescriptions of the new Passover during the night of the 14th day by eating the symbolic lamb in the bread and the fruit of the vine, i.e. the body and the blood of Yahushua. It is during the night of the 14 th day when Yahushua was betrayed that he gave the example by commanding to his disciples the new ceremony of his Passover (see 10.3.4 Yahushua’s Passover). During that night of the new Passover, Yahushua commanded us to wash another's feet. John 13:14 "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 "For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. We are to imitate our master Yahushua in all things and also when he told his disciples to do this on the night of the 14th day. During the night of the 14th day, it was suggested by Paul not to take a complete meal but only a short ceremony to avoid any food or drink excess. 1Corinthians 11:20 Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord Yahushua’s Supper. 21 For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of Father YHVH and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you. It is not strictly forbidden in the Bible to take a meal at Yahushua’s Passover but it is recommended to keep the ceremony distinct. Given that the animal sacrifices and the killing of the Passover lamb have ceased, thus, we do not have anymore a lamb nor the eating of a lamb during the night of the 15 th day. This eating of a lamb during the 15 th day is eliminated and replaced by this short ceremony during the night of the 14th day. Instead of eating during the night of the 15th day the lamb freshly killed and roasted of the old covenant, we eat symbolically during the night of the 14 th day, the atoning lamb (Yahushua) represented in the bread and the fruit of the vine in memorial. Luke 22:19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." With the observance of the other essential doctrines, the observance of these 754
new prescriptions is compulsory for salvation (see 8.1 The Essential Doctrines). John 13:8 Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Yahushua answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." The observance of this ceremony with the taking of the bread and the fruit of the vine of Yahushua is a sign of the elect who will have part in the 1 st resurrection and/or the change to receive immortality (see 5.16.1 The Change). John 6:54 "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. Beware of the interpretation of this verse. We read that the individual who eats his flesh and drinks his blood (symbolically), already has a deposit of immortality with the Holy Spirit. The elect who are destined to the 1 st resurrection and/or to the change to receive immortality keep all the essential doctrines and not only this ceremony. It would be misleading to think that anyone will receive immortality only by observing this ceremony without keeping the other essential doctrines as an elect. Nobody will have a part with Yahushua, if he refuses to participate in this ceremony with the other essential doctrines. However, there are requirements to participate legally in this ceremony. As the eating of the Passover lamb on the 15th day was restricted to the assembly of Israel with the circumcision in the flesh of males, the new ceremony has its requirements also. In the old covenant, the women were included with the children in this meal with lamb flesh, being under the custody of their father or their husband. However, it is important to note that the protection under the old covenant was only through the blood placed on the door of the house and not by the eating of the lamb. The prescriptions for the meal of the 15 th day remain but without any lamb, at least during this era, because there is no lamb killed anymore on the 14 th day. During all this feast, it would be imperious not to eat any lamb's flesh in respect of the only acceptable lamb, our Passover Yahushua. The eating of lamb's flesh during the night of the 15th day was and still is traditionnally done in the so-called churches. In the new covenant, during the night of the 14 th day, the consumming of unleavened bread and fruit of the vine replaces the eating of lamb's flesh on the 15th day (see 10.3.4 Yahushua’s Passover). Given that this ceremony is not a complete meal, we should thus eat a normal meal shortly before the ceremony, but without alcoholic beverages in view of the solemnity of the ceremony which follows. During the last meal with Yahushua, the disciples apparently ate and drank before the specific ceremony. We can read that they may have drunk more than one cup of the fruit of the vine during this meal. Certain messianic Jews and other sympathizers, introduced up to 4 cups into a traditional Passover ceremony. The advantage of celebrating the ceremony without a complete meal is to avoid any confusion as to the fundamental elements of the feet washing, the bread and 755
the fruit of the vine. We must discern here between the prescriptions of the meal of lamb flesh on the 15th day and the prescriptions for the ceremony of Yahushua’s Passover of the 14th day. The prescriptions of the old covenant are physical whereas the prescriptions of the new covenant add spiritual elements and spiritual requirements. The old covenant offered the protection to all the first born in the house marked with blood. The new ceremony is intended for all those who are elect and who practice the essential doctrines and who are predestined for immortality after the 1st resurrection. Some confuse the words of Yahushua when he spoke about the Passover with his disciples during the night of the 14th day. Luke 22:15 Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; This Passover which Yahushua had desired to eat was not the Passover lamb which the Jews would eat approximately 24 hours later during the night of the 15th day. That Passover of the night of the 14th day was his Passover, his meal of bread and fruit of the vine according to the new covenant and not the Passover lamb which would be eaten during the following night by the Jews. This new ceremony is the new Passover of the new covenant. There is now only one single legitimate Passover meal, in the new covenant which is consumed on the 14th day. That is why John qualifies the old Passover as that of the Jews' because they were not participating in the new Passover of the new covenant. John 2:13 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Yahushua went up to Jerusalem. John 6:4 Now the Passover, a solemnity of the Jews, was near. John 11:55 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. Yahushua’s Passover is intended for the true disciples and not for those who bear the name only as Christians. What are the requirements to participate in this ceremony? Yahushua shows us in the 1 st application of this ceremony with his 12 disciples. They were repenting adult men, baptized, circumcised in the flesh and instructed and obedient in YHVH's laws. Can we debate that they were circumcised in the heart also? Contrary to the requirements of the meal of the lamb on the 15th day which required circumcision in the flesh of males, this ceremony of the 14th day does not apparently require physical circumcision in this era. It requires baptism and obedience to YHVH's laws by all adult participants. We can be assured that the 12 apostles were baptized and circumcised in the flesh. According to the practices found in the Bible, we find there are only adults being baptised. We find no children which are mentionned 756
as baptized (see 11.2.2 Baptism). Contrary to the eating of lamb on the 15 th day by the women and the children, the eating of the bread and drinking some fruit of the vine on the 14th day includes only the baptized adults, without respect to the circumcision of the flesh (in this era). Indeed, according to YHVH's laws, the children cannot take part in the military activities nor may they be baptized before adulthood at 20 years of age. The requirement of the new covenant requires repentance and the commitment of a baptized adult. In the new covenant, the law requires the circumcision of the heart of all participants (see 8.5.2 The Circumcision) which is done through repentance in the baptism and from the reception of the Holy Spirit. Since children cannot be baptized before the age of adulthood at 20 years, they cannot take part in this ceremony. They are however set apart and protected because of the believing parents. 1Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. We see in the verse above that the unbelieving wife or husband is set apart and protected by the believing spouse. The unbelievers are not considered yet as being baptized nor elect, only because of their believing spouse. Not being baptized, the unbelieving spouses cannot participate in Yahushua’s Passover because they are not even believers (nor circumcised in the heart). The same logic applies for the children. As a consequence, the children cannot participate in Yahushua’s Passover. The children are certainly not lost nor condemned by not participating in the ceremony. On the contrary, as specified in verse 14 above, they are protected until their adulthood and until their calling according to the perfect plan and Father YHVH's predestination. The children may participate in the rest of the solemnity including the night of the 15th day when they can ask the question mentioned in Exodus 12:22-27. Thus the requirement of physical circumcision for this meal is not relevant. Besides keeping Yahushua’s Passover during the night part, the 14 th day also includes a holy convocation as a memorial of the death of Yahushua at the 9th hour local time (see 9.1.1 The 3rd and 9th Hours). Leviticus 23:4 These are the set solemnities of YHVH, holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons: 5 In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the two evenings, is the passover to YHVH. According to the old covenant, the holy convocations took place during the afternoon when the people met by family (between 10 and 20 persons) for the killing of the lamb. According to the new covenant, it is no more the killing of a lamb but a special assembly, a holy convocation at the 9 th hour, to mark this event of the atoning death of our lamb Yahushua. The 14 th day is also a day of preparation if it does not coincide with a day of weekly Sabbath. 757
Furthermore, this ceremony as all the solemnities, must be kept in a place that Father YHVH has chosen (see 10.11 The solemnity Site). However, as for all the solemnities, we must meet with believers according to Father YHVH's will. When going to a solemnity site where we can meet for the Passover and the solemnity of Unleavened bread (see 10.4 Unleavened bread), we should remain together in the same site for the complete period of 8 days. Certain individuals use verse 5 below to impose on the new covenant, an old prescription applicable only to the slaughtering of the lamb. Deuteronomy 16:5 You may not sacrifice the passover in one of your gates, which YHVH your El gives you; 6 but at the place that YHVH your El will choose, to cause his name to dwell in, … In fact, the prescription to kill the Passover (the lamb) outside of our gates (towns) was made obsolete at the same time as the killing and the eating of lamb's flesh ceased. It is thus not required anymore to go out of our cities or places of residence for the 14th day and the night of the 15th day because this old prescription does not apply in the new covenant where there is no killing anymore of a lamb. Jerusalem is the place where Father YHVH has put His name but until we can keep the solemnities in Jerusalem, we shall observe them in the places where He will allow/indicate us.
10.3.4 Yahushua's Passover During the night of the 14th day of the first month, Yahushua instituted the new Passover which is called here Yahushua's Passover. We keep annually that ritual which Yahushua commanded to his disciples. This ritual is not a meal. This ritual is called Yahushua's Passover because he instituted it himself and because he is the Passover lamb. Indeed, we must distinguish between the Jews’ Passover and Yahushua’s Passover, that is, between the old Passover and the new Passover, between the old covenant and the new covenant. Luke 22:15 Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; When saying ' this Passover ', Yahushua was making an important distinction since the Jews would eat their Passover lamb (lamb of flesh and blood) the next day, about 24 hours later. But he would himself be the Passover lamb to be sacrified the following afternoon, a known and confirmed fact when he said before I suffer. We now keep in the new covenant Yahushua’s Passover, a 758
ritual to commemorate annually his death until Yahushua returns. It is intended for the elect who already have the deposit of immortality by the presence of the Holy Spirit in them. 1Corinthians 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord Yahushua’s death till He comes. Luke 22:19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." Before the bread and the fruit of the vine are taken, there is the foot washing ceremony. Why is the foot washing done first ? Logically, we must be symbolically and spiritually clean before taking the bread and the fruit of the vine which are the symbols of his perfect sacrifice (see 10.3.4.1 The Order of Elements). Those who have been baptized and circumcised in the heart are clean except for the feet which symbolize our contact with the unclean things of this world. John 13:10 Yahushua said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." This also confirms the requirement of being baptized and circumcised in the heart to participate in this ceremony as adults, being clean except for the feet (see 11.2.2 Baptism). Yahushua established the ritual of eating the bread and the fruit of the vine which symbolically represent his body and his blood. Paul confirms the practice of this new ritual established by Yahushua on the night of the 14th day. 1 Corinthians 11:23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Yahushua on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. 1 Corinthians 11:33 Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come. Yahushua has intituted and commanded to his disciples this ritual, his new Passover during the night of the 14 th day of the 1st month which prophetically announced his death in the foolowing afternoon of the same day. From that day, that announcement is a memorial to keep until he returns. Yehosha has thus instituted this new Passover 24 hours before the meal of lamb's flesh of the old 759
covenant taken during the night of the 15 th day. This 24 hour gap is not only justified by the fact that he had to do it before he died but this gap insures the distinction between the new Passover and the old Passover, between the new covenant and the old covenant, between Yahushua's Passover and the Jews' Passover. That is why we cannot take the new symbols on the night of the 15th day to substitute the lamb's flesh. The elect must obey and imitate the master who gave to his disciples the bread and fruit of the vine on the 14th day. Thus, the ceremony must be celebrated during the night of the 14 th day of the first month, after sunset which is the beginning of the day (see 9.1 The Day). Those who missed the Passover in the first month for valid motives, may keep it in the 2nd month (Numbers 9:10-11). We should plan to take a normal meal before the ceremony, at the end of the preceding day (13 th day). For reason of the solemnity, we should avoid any alcohol consumption before taking the new Passover which also excludes all alcohol (see 8.4.5 Wine and Alcohol). For the proposed celebration of Yahushua's Passover, see 10.3.4.5 New Passover Ceremony. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________

10.3.4.1 Order of Elements During the ritual of Yahushua’s Passover, there is a chronological order of elements to be followed according to the Bible. Some people may propose different interpretations as the rest of the doctrines manipulated by false ministers. Yet we should make all efforts to imitate Yahushua and hold to what the Word of YHVH says through the Holy Spirit. Among the 3 elements, the foot washing, the consumption of the bread and the consumption of the fruit of the vine, which one must be done first ? According to the available translations, we can determine that the foot washing was first. In other Bible stories, we saw that the foot washing was done when the people first arrived at their destiny, before the meal. Although only John mentions the foot washing and curiously, he does not mention either the bread nor the fruit of the vine, we can determine the order of elements. The following verse is rendered in several versions in differing manner regarding the state of the supper. It is assumed that the correct translation is probably ' during the supper ' (see 2.6 Difficult Verses John 13:2). John 13:2 And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to {1} betray him, {1) Or deliver him up} 3 Yahushua, knowing that the Father had given all the things into his hands, and that he came forth from Creator Father, and goeth unto Creator Father, 4 riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself. 5 Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Then, one can also see that the fruit of the vine was taken after the foot washing and after supper: Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. Thus, unmistakably, the fruit of the vine was taken after the foot washing. Then when was the bread taken ? Even if neither Mark, nor Luke, nor Matthew mention the foot washing, it would be clear according to the relevant verses that the bread would have been taken after the foot washing and before the fruit of the vine. Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Yahushua took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." 27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 761
Mark 14:22 And as they were eating, Yahushua took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." 23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many. The chronological order of the bread and the fruit of the vine seems very clearly established by the above verses. It would be difficult to establish a different chronological order according to these verses, so that the foot washing is the 1 st, the bread is 2nd and the fruit of the vine in 3rd.
10.3.4.2 Feet Washing Yahushua established the elements composing this ritual in a chronological order in which the first element is the foot washing among the disciples (see 10.3.4.1 The Order of Elements). He gave himself as an example by washing the feet of all his disciples. John 13: 1 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Yahushua knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. 2 And during supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, 3 Yahushua, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from Creator Father and was going to Creator Father, 4 rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. 5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. We notice in verse 2 that the foot washing was made during the supper. Yahushua commanded that we did the same thing between us. John 13:14 "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. The foot washing is made at first so that we may be cleansed before taking the bread and the wine, the symbols of his perfect sacrifice. Those who are baptized and circumcised in the heart are clean except for the feet which symbolize our contact with the unclean things of this world. John 13:10 Yahushua said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; ... This ritual is a part of holy doctrines required for salvation because Yahushua warned Peter who was refusing to have his feet washed by the messiah. 762
John 13:8 Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Yahushua answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." When there are several men and women, it is preferable that the women do the foot washing separately from men as the appropriate manner.
10.3.4.3 The Bread In the ritual of Yahushua’s Passover, the bread represents the body of Yahushua who was killed for us, i.e. for the atonement of our sins. Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Yahushua took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." Mark 14:22 And as they were eating, Yahushua took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." Luke 22:19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." Luke 24:30 Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 1Corinthians 11: 23 For I received from the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Yahushua on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. There is a concept too difficult to understand that even his disciples did not understand. How could he offer his flesh to eat ? John 6:49 "Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 "This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 "I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world." 52 The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?" 53 Then Yahushuaaid to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 "Whoever eats 763
My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 "For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 "As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 "This is the bread which came down from heaven——not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever." Obviously, there is a spiritual aspect which exceeds our understanding because it is evident that the literal meaning of the translations of the texts is doubtful. The laws of YHVH clearly forbid to drink blood and to eat human flesh. Obviously, there is another meaning but not literal in the words of Yahushua. What we can understand is that the bread and the wine represent his body and his blood and that in the consumption of this bread and this wine, there is a process of transmission of immortality through the Holy Spirit. Literally, the consumption of the bread and the wine with the foot washing is a part of the essential doctrines required for salvation, i.e. for immortality. Literally, the consumption of the bread and the wine with the foot washing is a part of essential doctrines for the elect who already have the Holy Spirit for salvation. The access to immortality is given through the Holy Spirit which is the seed of the Father Creator. Those who have the Holy Spirit are the elect who keep all the essential doctrines.
10.3.4.4 The Wine In this ritual, the fruit of the vine represents his blood shed for our salvation, i.e. for the atonement of our sins. We are redeemed through his blood (see 8.3.1 Redemption). Matthew 26:27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Mark 14:23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. The cup most certainly contained non alcoholic fruit of the vine, that is non fermented (see 8.4.5 Wine and Alcohol). In fact, contrary to the general beliefs, 764
this fruit of the vine is simply non alcoholic red grape juice, also called new wine. We note in verse 20 above that the cup representing his blood was given after the supper. This confirms the sequence of the elements where the cup of fruit of the vine is consumed after the foot washing. Yahushua asserts that he will not drink the fruit of the vine anymore until he drinks it again in the Kingdom of YHVH which will be established on earth. Luke 22:18 "for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of Creator Father comes." During the night when Yahushua established this ritual, it is very possible that there were a few cups of fruit of the vine during a meal. These cups are a part of a meal and not part of the ritual itself. Thus, in the ritual of Yahushua’s Passover which is a short ritual and not a meal, there is only one cup and not several cups like the modern messianic Jews and others have added in their traditional Passover. In all the relevant verses in the ritual, a single cup is mentioned representing the blood of Yahushua.
10.3.4.5 New Passover Ceremony In summary, Yahushua’s Passover must be celebrated by baptised adults only, in solemnity as follows: A man directs the ceremony. The reading of the biblical verses may be alternately read between the participating men. If there are only women, a woman is appointed to direct the ceremony. PREPARE THE BREAD AND THE FRUIT OF THE VINE Put aside small quantities of fruit of the vine and unleavened bread on a plate, covered with a clean white towel or paper towel. Use a small glass per person with a small quantity of fruit of the vine in every glass. READ SCRIPTURES: Luke 22:7 Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed. 8 And He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat." .... 14 When the hour had come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. 15 Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; Matthew 26:17 Yahushua answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. ... 20 Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Yahushua the Christ. John 13:1 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Yahushua knew that His hour had come that He 765
should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. FOOT WASHING Read: John 13: 2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from Father Creatornd was going to God, 4 rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. 5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. 6 Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?" 7 Yahushu answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this." 8 Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Yahushuanswered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." 9 Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!" 10 Yahushuaaid to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." 11 For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean." 12 So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? 13 "You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14 "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 "For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 "Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 "If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. The foot washing is then performed. Generally, if there are mixed bachelors, the women would do this separately from the men. TAKE THE BREAD: Read: Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Yahushua took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." Mark 14:22 766
And as they were eating, Yahushua took bread,
blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." 1Corinthians 11:23 For I received from the Lord Yahushua that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Yahushua on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." The bread and the fruit of the vine are then uncovered and the man who directs the meeting will give thanks to Father YHVH and ask for the blessing on the bread, as a symbol of the body of Yahushua. The bread is broken in fragments in the plate which is passed to the participants who take each a piece and passes the plate to the next. TAKE THE FRUIT OF THE VINE: Read: Matthew 26:27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom." Mark 14:23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many. 25 "Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of Creator Father." 1Corinthians 11:25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. 27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. The man who directs the meeting, prays then on the fruit of the vine, by giving thanks to Father YHVH and by asking Him to bless it, as a sacred symbol of the blood of Yahushua which was poured for the forgiveness of our sins. The fruit of the vine is then distributed in individual glasses and drunk, as a symbol of the acceptance of the blood of Yahushua for the forgiveness of our sins. 767
READ SCRIPTURES: John 13:18 to John 17:26. Having pronounced these words, Yahushua then went to the garden where he was seized to be killed on a stake. SING AN HYMN: As Yahushua did, we must sing an hymn. CLOSE THE ASSEMBLY: After singing an hymn, the official ceremony is ended with a prayer of thanks to Father YHVH. AFTER THE CEREMONY After the ritual is ended and after singing an hymn, Yahushua and the apostles went out to go to the Mount of Olives. Mark 14:26 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Proposed hymn : John 14 (link here to skydrive) Yahushua was taken by the soldiers during this night and he was mistreated all night long by his enemies to be finally put on the stake at the 3rd hour and killed at the 9th hour. THE WATCH The discussions can continue during this night of the 14 th day with a short watch. We should not confuse with the watch which was commanded during the night of the 15th day when the angel passed over the houses. The night of the 14 th day also has a watch but much shorter, i.e. 1 hour according to the command of Yahushua. Mark 14:34 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch." ... 37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour? There is no death angel passing during the night of the 14 th day but we should stay up at least one hour after the end of the ceremony to conform to his commanded watch and to commemorate Yahushua’s sufferings.
10.3.5 The Jewish Passover In the time of Yahushua, the Jews kept obviously the Passover according to the old covenant. They probably continued to keep it after the death of Yahushua until the temple was destroyed in 70 EC. 768
It is important to distinguish the Passover meal which the Jews were going to eat 24 hours after the one that Yahushua established and kept with his disciples. Yahushua’s Passover was kept during the beginning of the night on the 14 th day of the first month (see 10.3.4 Yahushua’s Passover). For several motives, certain Biblical students and scholars asserted that Yahushua kept the Passover a day before the Jews. They thus claim that the Jews or Yahushua were in the error. In the morning when Yahushua was brought before Pilate to be condemned, the Jews were preparing to kill the Passover in the afternoon and eat it during the following night. John 18:28 Then they led Yahushua from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. It should thus be clear that Yahushua was going to be killed during the afternoon on this 14th day. It would be during the same afternoon when the Jews would kill their Passover lambs according to the old covenant to eat them during the following night (15th day). It is evident that Yahushua had to be killed at the time appointed by Father YHVH according to His prescriptions for the old covenant. Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time messiah Yahushua died for the ungodly. The expression ' in due time ' means at the perfect moment foreseen for the perfect lamb. There should be no doubt in our spirit nor in our faith that Yahushua died on the correct day according to the correct calendar. In all things, we know that Yahushua perfectly accomplished the laws of his Father YHVH and that he died at the prescribed time for the Passover lamb according to the precise rules in the law of Father YHVH to be the acceptable sacrifice. Such as prescribed in Exodus, the lamb had to be killed between the 2 evenings, i.e. in the afternoon of the 14th day and eaten during the following night of the 15th day. From where comes this assumption of error concerning the day of Passover in the new testament? It comes certainly from Yahushua’s statement to his disciples concerning this Passover that they would eat together during the night when he was taken by the soldiers ( 14th day). Luke 22:15 He says to them: I deeply wished to eat this Passover with you, before suffering; The wrong assumption which certain biblical students made was that this Passover which Yahushua took with his disciples was the Passover prescribed in the old covenant (see 10.3.2 In The Old Covenant). The Passover meal of the old 769
covenant consisted in eating during the night of the 15 th day the lamb which had been killed during the afternoon of the 14th day. However, we learnt that Yahushua’s Passover with his disciples during the night of the 14th day was a new ritual not prescribed in the old covenant (see 10.3.4 Yahushua's Passover). There is no mention of eating lamb's flesh during this meal with Yahushua and his disciples. In fact, this ritual consists clearly in making use of bread and wine which represent the body and the blood of Yahushua. The Bible clearly show that the Jews kept Passover according to the old covenant the same day when Yahushua was killed as the atoning lamb. In the texts of the new testament, the disciples of Yahushua distinguish the Jews' Passover from Yahushua’s Passover because the Jews had rejected their messiah and his Passover in the new covenant. John clearly distinguished Passover of the Jews in his writings as follows. John 2:13 And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. John 6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. John 11:55 And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. For more details on the sequence of the events surrounding Yahushua's Passover, see 6.4.8 His Resurrection.
10.4 Unleavened Bread The days of Unleavened Bread are an annual commanded solemnity of 7 days, from the 15th day to the 21th day of the first month. It is also a prophetic step in Father YHVH's plan of salvation (see 11.2 Unleavened Bread). It is a period of 7 days during which we must eat unleavened bread, that is, without live yeast (see 10.4.1 Types of Yeast). We must avoid also eating any leavened products. We must also completely remove such products from all our permanent and temporary dwellings. We must remove them from our houses before leaving to go to the solemnity (if we leave). Leviticus 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto YHVH: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. Exodus 13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for 770
by strength of hand YHVH brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten. ...6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to YHVH. 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters. We must note in the above verses: 1) The ban on yeast everywhere 2) The ban on leavened breads and cakes 3) The obligation to eat unleavened bread. During this solemnity, yeast represents symbolically sin and false doctrines in our lives. Yahushua explained to his disciples which leaven we should avoid or get rid of above all. Matthew 16:6 Then Yahushua said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees... 11 How is it that you do not understand that I spoke it not to you concerning bread, that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. Luke 12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they stepped one on another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Thus, Yahushua has warned us of the leaven of false doctrines and hypocrisy. That is more important than the bread crums in our homes. Such a ritual represents for us a reminder of our sanctification through this Passover sacrifice of Yahushua which requires our continual repentance to bring us gradually to stop sinning. 1Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ [messiah Yahushua] our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity 771
and truth. In this verse, yeast is symbol of sin and false doctrines which we must remove but we must also take the bread of sincerity and truth (see 10.4.4 The Good Yeast). During this 7 day solemnity, according to the command of Lev. 23:6, we keep the 15th day and the 21th day of the 1st month as Holy Days, that is, days of rest when we must not do any common work but have a holy convocation (see 10.13 The Holy convocations). Leviticus 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto YHVH: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. 7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. In particular, the 15th day was a day of commanded memorial in the old covenant (see 10.4.1 The Memorial of the 15 th Day). In the old covenant, we were commanded to eat a meal of lamb's flesh during the night of the 15 th day. Since the old Passover lamb was accomplished in the present age with Yahushua's perfect sacrifice, the commanded memorial meal of the night of the 15th day is changed and replaced with the new Passover ceremony on the night of the 14th day. We are commanded to eat unleavened bread during 7 days. Exodus 12:18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even [sunset], ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even [sunset]. This verse commands specifically to begin to eat unleavened bread from the 14th day at the fall of night, that is, at sunset, from the night of the 15 th day, till the fall of night of the 21 th day, that is, at sunset, before the night of the 22nd day. Indeed, we can count 7 complete days between these 2 sunsets. Logically, the 14th day, as a day of preparation, will see all yeast removed by our houses. Deuteronomy 16:3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life. Then, from the new Passover ceremony on the 14 th day and the Feast of Unleavened Bread of 7 days, we now have a period of 8 days. That is why the solemnity may be treated as a single sequence. Contrary to certain groups who 772
recommend the observance of these solemn days always outside of our cities of residence, we may also keep the 8 days in our usual place of residence (see 10.13.2 The Place of the Solemnities). Except for the ceremony of Yahushua's Passover also called the Lord's Supper on the 14th day reserved for baptized adults, the rest of solemnity is opened to all interested people; the children and the non-baptized guests. The Waved Omer Offering must be observed as a memorial during these 7 days. It is the first day of the week during these 7 days which follows the weekly Sabbath occuring on the 15th day or after (see 10.5 The Wave Omer). We must note this day because it is the 1 st day in the count to the Feast of Weeks (Pentacast).
10.4.1 The 15th Day Memorial The people were delivered from Egypt on the 15 th day of the 1st month. They were commanded to commemorate this day of delivrance from Egypt. On this 15th day of the 1st month is the 1st day of the Feast of unleavened bread, a holy day with a holy convocation. Exodus 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to YHVH throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. Exodus 13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand YHVH brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten. Exodus 12:42 It is a night to be much observed unto YHVH for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of YHVH to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations. This memorial of the exodus from Egypt on the 15 th day has been extended with the memorial of the death of Yahushua in the night of the 14 th day in the new covenant (see 10.3.4 Yahushua's Passover). We now eat the new symbols of the body of Yahushua on the night of the 14 th day while on the 15th day, there is no more lamb to eat thus no commanded meal in the night with bitter herbs because the sacrificial laws were suspended from Yahushua's perfect sacrifice. During this solemnity of 7 days, according to the command of Lev. 23:6, we keep 773
the 15th day and the 21st day of the 1st month as Holy Days, that is, as days of rest wherein we must not do common work and we must hold an holy convocation (see 10.12 The Holy convocations). Leviticus 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto YHVH: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread. 7 In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work. 8 .. in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work. In the sacrificial laws, the people were commanded to kill a lamb in the afternoon and eat it at night. In the later years, the children would ask what is this service done for? The verse 26 below concerned the sacrificed lamb and its blood which identified the houses which were spared from the death angel in the old covenant. Exodus 12:24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye are come to the land which YHVH will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? 27 that ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of YHVH’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. In the new covenant, there isn't a lamb anymore sacrificed every year, neither on the 14th day, nor on the 15th day. Thus, we are not commanded anymore to take a specific meal after sunset in the night of the 15 th day according to the old covenant. We are commanded to eat unleavened bread during 7 days and to commemorate our deliverance from Egypt. Exodus 12:18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. By tradition and\or by ignorance, some who support the new covenant include a common lamb in the meal of this night of the 15th day. They eat the flesh of a lamb killed at a butcher's shop or one they have killed themselves, as a human tradition and not as a command from Father YHVH. Even if this tradition seems acceptable and well-intentioned, it is contrary to what Yahushua taught his disciples concerning the new covenant just prior to his death. For the 1st Passover in Egypt, during the night of this 15th day when the death angel passed over, a watch was commanded. In the new covenant, as the sacrificial laws are suspended, we have no lamb flesh to eat, no night meal and no night watch. The night watch, like the lamb meal has been replaced on the night of the 774
14th day when we have an hour watch after the new Passover ceremony as Yahushua required. Only baptized adults are allowed to participate in Yahushua's Passover but the holy convocation on the 15th day and the rest of the solemnity is opened to all interested people; the children, the non-baptized guests, etc. (see 10.11 Solemnities' Guide). Being commanded for perpetuity, this memorial must be continued spiritually and symbolically. Today, instead of having the houses marked with the blood of a lamb freshly killed annually, the elect are symbolically marked once for all in their baptism by the blood of Yahushua in their spirit and in their circumcised heart. We could say also that the elect are marked by the blood of Yahushua on their body which is their house. Thus the elect have not to be afraid of the death angel neither during the night of the 15th day, nor at any other time.
10.4.2 The Good Leaven In the context of the feast of unleavened bread, leaven is definitively a symbol of sin and in particular, a symbol of malice and wickedness and false doctrines. 1Corinthians 5:7 Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ [messiah Yahushua]: 8 wherefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. However, in a parable, Yahushua compares the kingdom of heaven with leaven: Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened. Furthermore, at the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), the 2 loaves of bread of proposition are leavened. Leviticus 7:13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings. We know that the leaven is a live organism which can multiply quickly under favorable environment. Can we conceive the Holy Spirit as a kind of spiritual leaven which is sowed in us 775
and which fertilizes our personal spirit to develop into a new creature (see 5.6.4 Spiritual Process, 7.15 His Reproduction and 7.16 His Ultimate Purpose) ?
776
10.4.3 The Leaven Types In the following verses, we are commanded to destroy all leaven in our houses and even our territory during the 7 days of the feast of unleavened bread. Exodus 13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand YHVH brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten. … 6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to YHVH. 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee, in all thy borders. Obviously, it is necessary to begin the cleaning before the beginning of the 7 days. Furthermore, since the use of unleavened bread during the ceremony of Yahushua 's Passover (Lord's Dinner) on the 14th day, we should possibly end the cleaning before the beginning of the 14th day. We must understand what is leaven. Leaven is a living organism which causes the rising of the dough of bread or cake. There is natural leaven and also chemical leavening agents. Both must be banned since both can make dough rise. This includes the bicarbonate of sodium or soda. The ban is equaly on leaven as on raised bread or cake. Obviously, cakes and similar raised dough are forbidden. As for beer, the leaven that some brands may contain, is dead. Thus, beer is not banned from the days of unleavened bread. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 10.4.4 Recipe Recipe for unleavened bread Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 cup olive oil 1/2 cup water sea salt for sprinkling (optional) 777
Directions: Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 C). Combine flour and salt in food processor. Combine olive oil and water in small bowl, whisking them together into a “vinaigrette”-like substance. While running the food processor, add olive oil and water mixture to the flour mixture slowly. Run the food processor until all ingredients combine into a firm dough ball. Remove dough from food processor and knead slightly into a ball. Cut ball in half, then in smaller pieces, until you have 12 small pieces of dough. Roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each piece on a well-floured surface into a 3-4 inch patty. Roll out with rolling pin into a 6-8 inch circle. Make sure it is very, very thin (you should be able to see your fingers on the other side when looking through the dough with light behind it). Place thin circles on ungreased cookie sheets or perforated pizza sheets and sprinkle with sea salt if desired. You may punch holes in it to reduce the bubbling. Bake for 2 minutes on one side and one minute on the other. If you use a pizza sheet with holes, you don't have to turn them over. JUST KEEP A VERY CLOSE WATCH ON DOUGH UNTIL IT IS CLOSE TO BURNING, THEN REMOVE FROM OVEN. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

10.5 The Wave Omer This ritual is described in the Old Testament as being the offering of the first omer harvested from the field. This ritual was commanded with the other solemn days listed in Leviticus 23 as a holy convocation: Leviticus 23:4 “These are the appointed feasts of YHVH, the holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them.
Leviticus 23:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a omer of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: 11 And he shall wave the omer before YHVH, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the omer an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto YHVH. 13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto YHVH for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your El: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
The original word is omer 06016 [SHD] and not sheaf. It is 59 gallons or 220 liters according to a website. It applies to dry or liquid products. The consumption of the products from the new harvest at the beginning of the calendar year was forbidden as long as this offering had not been carried out according to the prescribed ritual. Leviticus 23:14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your El: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. This ritual was observed according to the prescriptions in the Old Testament with the new omer of barley on the 1 st day of the week (Sunday) which occurs during the 7 days of unleavened bread. In the new covenant today, this day may be commemorated in the 3rd hour by a holy convocation (see 9.1.1. The 3 rd and the 9th Hours and 10.6.1 Diagram). It is important to note this day since it is 779
necessary to determine the Feast of weeks 49 days later as we count from this day. Leviticus 23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the omer of the waveoffering; seven sabbaths shall there be complete: This ritual prefigured the acceptance of Yahushua as the 1 st fruit of the new creation, of the new man born of the Spirit with the spiritual nature of the Father Creator (see 5.16 Born Again and 7.14 His Reproduction). Yahushua is the firstfruit of the immortal creation of the future sons of the Father Creator. As an omer of the new harvest was taken before the main harvest, so Yahushua was the first son to be made immortal as a firstfruit before all the other sons will be made immortal at the last trumpet. Romans 8:19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God [Creator Father]. 1 Corinthians 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. Since the resurrection of messiah Yahushua, this ritual is not observed anymore. This day of memorial reminds us that after his resurrection, Yahushua was the new human creation which would be waved and presented in heaven before Father Creator to be accepted and completed by the Almighty Creator YHVH. The resurrection to receive immortality is symbolically represented by the harvest. After his physical resurrection at the end of the Sabbath, Yahushua was still on earth on the morning of the first day when he was met by a woman before ascending to heaven and presenting himself before his Father in heaven. John 20:16 Yahushua said to her, Mary. She turned herself, and said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher. 17 Yahushua said to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God [El Father Creator] and your God [El Father Creator].
In this encounter, we see that Yahushua had not yet received incorruptibility because he clearly told the woman not to touch him because he had not gone up to his/our Father yet. We can definitively conclude that Yahushua had received continuous life in his resurrection but not incorruptibility nor immortality. We must recognize a time gap between the event of the resurrection and the change to immortality and incorruptibility. Only when presenting himself before his Father in heaven did Yahushua receive incorruptibility and immortality. Yahushua 780
then returned to earth with his physical body of flesh and bone made incorruptible and immortal. His disciples were then able to see him and touch him, including Thomas who was refusing to believe without touching him.
John 20:25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he [Thomas] said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”
After his resurrection, Yahushua was seen and touched by his disciples because he had a physical body (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection).
1Corinthians 15:6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep; Acts 13:30 But Father Creator raised him from the dead: 31 and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.
Yahushua thus carried out the prescription of the Old Testament concerning the omer which had to be waved as a physical entity. He then returned to heaven, at the right-hand of the Father Creator, until he returns to earth at the end of this age to cleans the earth, to save the elect and the rest of humanity and to establish the government of his Father YHVH for a period of 1000 years. Matthew 24:22 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
It is important to correctly note this memorial day of the Wave omer Offering because it is the 1st day in the counting of 50 days which will determine the solemn day of the Feast of Weeks, called Pentecost in the New Testament (see 10.6 The Feast of Weeks). The feast of weeks will occur necessarily also on the 1st day of the week (Sunday). __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ 781

10.6 The Feast of Weeks The Feast of Weeks also called Pentecost in the New Testament translations is set on the day following 7 weeks of 7 days (49 days), that is the 50 th day (see 10.6.1 Diagram). To reduce the impact of the Feast of Weeks only to the day called Pentecost is an intellectual trap in which many have fallen. In the book of Jubilees, in chapter 6, it is written that this feast was celebrated entirely in heaven from the day of creation until the days of Noah. Jubilees 6:17. But his children violated it until the days of Abraham, and they ate blood. But Abraham alone observed it, and Isaac and Jacob observed it, for these are his children, up to thy day ; and in thy day the children of Israel forgot it until I renewed it for them on this mountain. On Mount Sinai, the angel YHVH told Moses:
Jubilees 6:18 And thou command the children of Israel that they should observe this festival in all their generations as a commandment for them: one day in the year, in this month, they shall celebrate this festival. 19. For it is the festival of weeks and is a festival of first fruits; for this festival is of a double nature and double kind, as is written and engraved concerning its celebration. Deuteronomy 16:10 Then you shall keep the feast of weeks to YHVH your El with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give as YHVH your El blesses you; It is interesting to read the following. Numbers 11:25 that the angel YHVH came down in the thick cloud, and spoke to Moses; he took some spirit which was on him, and put it on the seventy elders. And as soon as the spirit rested on them, they prophesied ; but they did not continue. 26 There were two men, the one called Eldad, and the other Medad, who had remained in the camp, and on whom the spirit rested and they prophesied in the camp. One year after the flood The Feast of Weeks was established from the events that followed the flood as found in the Book of Jubilees below. 783
Jubilees 5:17 And in the new moon of the 3 rd month, he came out of the ark and built an altar on this mountain and he made an atonement for the earth. He took a young goat and made atonement through its blood for all the earthly sin, because all things therein were destroyed except those who were in the ark with Noah. And he put the fat on the altar and he took an he-goat and one goat and a sheep and youngs and some salt and a turtledove and a young dove and put on the altar a sacrifice on the fire and poured on it an offering mixed with oil and splashed it with wine and covered the whole with incenses, what made a good acceptable smell rise in before the Lord. And the angel YHVH smelt the good odor and he made a covenant with him that there will never be a flood to destroy the earth; so that during every day of the earth, sowings and harvest will never stop, cold and warmth and summer and winter and day and night will not change their order and will never cease. And he said: - and you, increase and multiply on the earth and you will become numerous on her and you will be a blessing on her. I shall inspire the fear of you and the terror of you in all thing which is on earth and in the water. And well, I gave you all animals and all winged things and all which moves on the earth and the fish in waters and all things for food as the green herbs; I gave you all things in food but the flesh with the life, with the blood, you will not eat it, because the life of all flesh is in the blood, otherwise the lives will be demanded to you of your blood. From the hand of every man, the hand of all [animal] I shall demand the blood of man. Who will shed human blood, through this man its blood will be shed, because in the image of El he made man. And you, increase and multiply on the earth. And in this month Noah and his sons swore that they would eat no blood which is of any flesh and he made a covenant before YHVH El forever for all the generations of the earth. He spoke to you that on this matter you make a covenant with the children of Israel by an oath in this month on the mountain and that you have to sprinkle with some blood on them because of all the words of the covenant which the Lord made with them for ever. And this testimony is written concerning you that you must observe it permanently, that in no day you eat no blood of animals or birds or cattle for all your days on the earth. And the man who eats blood of animal or cattle or birds lasting every day of the earth, him and his seed will be uprooted from the land. And order to the children of Israel not to eat blood so that their names and 784
their seed may stand before the Lord our God permanently. And there is no limit of days for this law, because it is for ever. They will observe it for their descents so that they may continue to implore from you with some blood on the altar every day. And at the time of the morning and evening, they will seek for the forgiveness before the Lord from you in perpetuity so that they preserve it and are not uprooted. His rainbow in the thick cloud And he gave a sign to Noah and his sons that there will not be a flood anymore on the earth; he [the Lord, YHVH] placed his rainbow in the thick cloud as the sign of the eternal covenant that there will not be a flood anymore on the earth to destroy it, all the days of the earth. For that reason, it was ordered and written on celestial tablets that they must celebrate in this month the Feast of weeks once a year, to renew the covenant every year. In Wikipedia we read that the flood is a myth spread in numerous cultures. The term myth being often used to indicate an obviously erroneous faith at first sight, but which can relate to concrete elements expressed in a symbolic way and shared by a significant number of people... Is the flood, a myth ? How does Yahushua consider it ? Matthew 24:37 As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not know until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Luke 17:26 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man. 27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was in the days of Lot — they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built, 29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom fire and sulphur rained from heaven and destroyed them all — 30 so will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed. The following verses also mention the Feast of Weeks : 785
Leviticus 23:22 "And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field to its very border, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest; you shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am YHVH your El." Deuteronomy 16:12 You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt; and you shall be careful to observe these statutes. This solemn day of the Feast of Weeks is an important prophetic step in the plan of salvation (see 11.3 Feast of Weeks). The day of the Wave Omer Offering is the first day of this count and it always falls on the 1 st day of the week during the 7 days of unleavened bread (see 10.5 The Wave Omer Offering). Leviticus 23:15 "And you shall count from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that you brought the Omer of the wave offering; seven full weeks shall they be, 16 counting fifty days to the morrow after the seventh sabbath; then you shall present a cereal offering of new grain to YHVH. 17 You shall bring from your dwellings two loaves of bread to be waved, made of two tenths of an ephah; they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with leaven, as first fruits to YHVH....21 And you shall make proclamation on the same day; you shall hold a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work: it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. Deuteronomy 16:9 "You shall count seven weeks; begin to count the seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain. 10 Then you shall keep the feast of weeks to YHVH your El with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give as YHVH your El blesses you; This counting of 7 weeks confirms the continuance of the week cycles of 7 days since the beginning of creation (see 9.2 The Week). The Bible establishes the Feast of Weeks as a Holy Day with a holy convocation. The Feast of Weeks always falls on the 1st day of the week (Sunday) because this day follows the 7th weekly Sabbath (verse 16 above). The Feast of Weeks is practically a 2 day feast because it combines: 1) The feast of this 7th weekly Sabbath which is also the 49th day, 2) This 50th day which is the day strictly speaking of the Feast of Weeks. The Sabbath mentioned above (verse 15) is the one which may fall from the 14th day to the 21st day of the 1st month. It is the Sabbath which falls on the day of Passover (14th day of the month) or on one of the days of unleavened bread. A Sabbath on the 21th day is excluded because the next day is outside of the days of unleavened bread. Thus, the day of the Wave Omer Offering is the 1 st day of the week (Sunday) which falls during the 7 days of unleavened bread, from the 15th day to the 21th day of the first month. We must count 7 whole weeks (v. 15) with 7 Sabbath days, that is, 49 days. The 50 th day follows the 7th Sabbath and 786
thus always falls on the 1 st day of the week (Sunday). On the day of the Feast of Weeks following the resurrection of Yahushua, the Holy Spirit was given to the apostles. Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance... 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is but the third hour of the day. This solemnity was observed from the 3 rd hour, as it is confirmed in Acts (v. 15 above). Some people observe the Feast of Weeks at 09:00 am in the morning in place of the 3rd hour. However, if you really want to keep it during the 3rd hour, please consult the article on this subject and see the method of calculation (see 9.1.2 The 3rd and 9th Hours and 9.1.2.2 Method of Calculations). The Feast of Weeks is the beginning of the New promised and prophetised covenant (see 3.2 The New covenant). Acts 2:17 And it shall be in the last days, saith Creator Father, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams: 18 Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. Contrary to the popular teachings, the Feast of Weeks is not a harvest but indeed a sowing. As the verse above clearly says, the Feast of Weeks is not a resurrection but the sowing of the deposit of immortality. The harvest will take place after the 1st resurrection in the last day, on the Day of Atonement, as the change from mortal to immortal (see 5.16.1 The Change). __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________

10.6.1 Additional Feasts According to a recent revelation from the Dead Sea Scrolls, and in particular, from the so-called Temple Scroll, the Feast of Weeks is extended to additionnal feasts 7 week cycles associated with ulterior harvests. Indeed, the Dea Sea Scrolls reveal certain feasts every 7 weeks according to the same count as the 1st Feast of Weeks called Pentacost in the New Testament (see 10.6.1 Diagram). These feasts are associated with the later harvests which would be completed at 7 weeks intervals. Thus, 49 days after the 1 st Feast of Weeks, there would be the Feast of Wine on the 50 th day. Then, 49 days later, there would be the Feast of Oil on the 50 th day. These feasts, just like the 1 st Feast of Weeks, always occur on the 1st day of the week (Sunday). These feasts allow us to rejoice from Father Creator's blessings but above all, they would be for us the opportunity to offer to Father Creator the first fruits of our harvests as commanded. These additional 7 week cycles correspond to the same concept of the Jubilee which repetes itself continually every 49 years, on the 50th year. As the day of the Wave Omer, these days are memorials intended for the offerings to the only True Creator Father YHVH and are not holy days without servile works. Further, we may ponder on the meaning of the following verse in regard to the wine and oil versus the additionnal feasts. Revelation 6:6 and I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm oil and wine!" In the Bible, the fruit of the vine was used to represent Yahushua's blood while the oil may represent the Holy Spirit.
10.7 The Day of Trumpets This solemnity is observed on the 1st day of the 7th month. The prophetic accomplishment of this solemn day is an important step in the plan of salvation (see 11.4 The Day of Trumpets). Leviticus 23:23 And YHVH spake unto Moses, saying, 24 Speak 790
unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest [07677 shabbat] unto you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets [08643 terouah], a holy convocation. 25 Ye shall do no servile work; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH. The word terouah 08643 implies not only trumpets but loud sounds, alarm, cries of war, roarings, etc. According to this verse, this day of solemnity must be observed as being: 1) A Sabbath day 2) One day when we must sound the trumpet (shofar and\or clarion) (see 10.15 Sounding the Shofar) 3) A day of holy convocation 4) part of 2 consecutive solemn days (see Difficult Verses 2.6.1 1Sam. 20:27) The sanctification process which began on the intercalary day which preceded (SID3) is in development for those who are chosen in this process (see 11.2.1 Sanctification). Indeed, certain individuals who were deceived and/or ignorant who sin involuntarily but without wickedness, would be included in this sanctification. Thus, in the last days, the saints' spouses and children could be set apart and protected from the plagues and calamities of the trumpets to survive in flesh and blood during the millenium. 1Corinthians 7:1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. In the plan of salvation of Father YHVH, some people say that this day of trumpets corresponds to the day when Yahushua will come down from heaven but that is not found in the Bible. Rather, this day is associated with the 7 trumpets described in the book of the Revelation. This is the day when the 7 trumpets are given to the 7 angels and when the 1st of the 7 trumpets will begin to sound (11.8.4 The 7th Seal and the 7 Trumpets). Yahushua will not return at the sound of the 1st trumpet but rather at the 7th trumpet which is the last trumpet (see 11.4.6 The 7th Trumpet). Indeed, according to the verse below, the change will occur at the last trumpet (see 5.16.1 The Change). 1Corinthians 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Besides, verse 16 below asserts that Yahushua will come down from heaven and the dead will be resurrected at Father Creator's trumpet. 791
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord [kurios YHVH] himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Creator Father: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; From this above verse, we can conclude that the return of Yahushua will be at the sound of the 7th trumpet (see 11.4.7 Yahushua's Advent on the Clouds). Besides, it seems that only the angels can sound these silver trumpets because they are not available to men today. Revelation 8:1 And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels that stand before Creator Father; and there were given unto them seven trumpets. According to the above verses, the day of trumpets is the day when the 7 th seal will be opened. We could also see the use of the trumpets as seen in the story of the fall of Jericho. Joshua 6:4 And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets [07782 shophar horn of ram]. 5 And it shall be, that, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him. 6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of YHVH. Like in the fall of ancient Jericho, the 7 th trumpet at the end will bring down the walls of the new world order of the Beast. The 7th trumpet is the last one during which begin the very last events preceding Yahushua's return and his millenial reign on earth (see 11.8.3 The 7 th seal and Trumpets). __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________

10.8 Day of Atonement The Day of Atonement is the most solemn of all the Father Creator YHVH's solemnities. This day represents a very important prophetic step (5 th) in the plan of salvation (see 11.5 The Day of Atonement). It is a 24 hour day of fasting commanded on the 10th day of the 7th month, a holy convocation and a day of solemn Sabbath. Leviticus 16:29 And it shall be a statute for ever unto you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the home-born, or the stranger that sojourneth among you: Leviticus 23:27 Howbeit on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH. 28 And ye shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before YHVH your El. 29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be cut off from his people. 30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people. 31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be to you a sabbath [07676 shabbath] of rest [07677 shabbathown], and you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even to even, shall you celebrate your sabbath [07676 shabbath]. Leviticus 25:9 Then shalt thou send abroad the loud trumpet [07782 shophar] on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye send abroad the trumpet [07782 shophar] throughout all your land. These verses establish the solemnity and the requirements of this day of fasting. The expression 'to afflict your souls' in verse 27 is interpreted as being an abstinence of all food. In this day, it is also an abstinence of all liquid (see 8.4.6 Fasting). We find the direct interpretation in the following verse where afflicting oneself or mourning means fasting. Matthew 9:15 And Yahushua said to them, Can the children of the bridal chamber mourn [3996 afflict, mourn] , as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. 793
The fasting should begin on the 9 th day to insure a complete 24 hour fast (see 2.6. Leviticus 23:32). Leviticus 23:32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even <06153 ereb>, from even <06153 ereb> unto even <06153 ereb>, shall ye celebrate your sabbath. In the above verse, the expression from even to even means from sunset to sunset of the following day. This expression applies only to the period of 24 hours for the observance of the Sabbath. It is evident that the fasting should begin on the 9th day and cover the entire 10th day in respect of verses 27 and 29. Also, it is suggested (not imposed) that the fast begin at the 9 th hour on the 9th day (See 6.4.8.1 The Resurrection of Yahushua and the Sign of Jonah). By transposing the physical aspect into the spiritual, this fasting and this solemn Sabbath establish an essential condition to those who would like to be a part of the people of Father YHVH. In fact, this strict requirement is a part of the other Essential Doctrines which identify the elect of Father YHVH (see 3.1 The Essential Doctrines). Those who assert that the Laws of Father YHVH have been abolished and willingly reject their observance, are not part of the people of YHVH, at least not yet, not as long as they rebel. They must first be called and come out of the Babylonian rebellious ways to join the household of Father YHVH. The prophetic accomplishment of the Day of Atonement is prophesied in Joel, among others, as the Day of YHVH (see 11.5.4 The Day of YHVH). Joel 2:15 Blow the trumpet [07782 shophar] in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly; 16 gather the people, sanctify the assembly, assemble the old men, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Every year, we must announce this day with the sound of the shofar (07782) made from a ram's horn. In particular, after 7 cycles of 7 years (49 years), in the 50th year, it is the announcement of the year of jubilee and the application of the law of the Jubilee by which all the families are freed from all debts. They then return to their ancestral lands of inheritance to live there free of debts (see 9.6 The Jubilee). The ritual which was commanded in the Old Testament on the day of Atonement included 2 goats. The spiritual meaning of that ritual is examined below. 794
Leviticus 16:5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. It is important to note in verse 5 above that both goats were taken for the same purpose related to sin. There is no distinction in regard to sin but for Father YHVH's plan, each is selected and identified for the ritual's procedure using the casting of lots. Leviticus 16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for YHVH, and the other lot for Azazel. 9 And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for YHVH, and offer him for a sin-offering [02403 sin, sinner, punishment, etc.]. In verse 9 above, Aaron is directed to kill the one goat selected and identified by Father YHVH. Most of the popular mainstream teachings identify the 2 he-goats as one goat being the messiah Yahushua as the killed goat and the other as Satan, the goat sent alive into the wilderness. As it will be shown below, this popular teaching is not coherent with the plan of salvation revealed in the 7 solemnities. Indeed, Yahushua's sacrifice was clearly accomplished with the solemnity of the Passover when he was killed on the stake as the first step in the plan of salvation. Why would Yahushua's sacrifice be repeated on the Day of Atonement since he was sacrificed once for all? Logically, this killed goat does not represent Yahushua but rather a rebellious goat. The sacrificed Passover lamb is totally different from the killed goat of the Day of Atonement. The 2 goats represent rebellion as seen in the following verse. Matthew 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left... 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Again, the following verse clearly identifies goats with demons. Leviticus 17:7 So they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to goat demons [08163 goat] , after whom they whore. This shall be a statute forever for them throughout their generations. Thus both goats represent sinners. The spiritual meaning is revealed in the prophetic accomplishment of this Day of 795
Atonement just after Yahushua's return. The goat which is killed in that ritual represents those who rebelled and refused to repent from their disobedience. They will die for their own sins on the last day (see 11.5.12 Capital punishment). John 12:48 He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Zechariah 10:3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for YHVH of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. The live goat represents Satan who is sent to the wilderness with the sins of all Israel on his head, which imputes him the whole responsibility. Leviticus 16:21 and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a man that is in readiness into the wilderness: 22 and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a solitary land: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. This live goats clearly represents Satan who is the instigator of the angelic and human rebellions. On the last day, Satan is thus sent to a remote place away from all the human creation to prevent him from deceiving them into rebellion (11.5.8 Satan Imprisoned). Revelation 20:1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time. An important fact : both verse 21 from Leviticus and verse 3 above point to the same event : Satan's imprisonnement for Yahushua's 1000 year rule. That event will be accomplished exactly on the last day to occur on the solemnity of the Day of Atonement (see 11.5.1 The last Day). This day is clearly identified in the 796
sequence of the last days shown in the book of Revelation (see 11.8.02 The Events). Logically, if the sacrifice of the first goat had accomplished the atonement for the sins of Israel, why would there be sins left to put on the other goat's head ? Evidently, the so-called atonement of the first goat did not take place because the sins of Israel are placed on the other goat's head. We know that the sins of many were forgiven on the day of Passover not on the Day of Atonement. Those who will have rejected Yahushua's Passover sacrifice will not be forgiven. They will die for their own sins. Yet, Satan will receive Israel's sins and his own sins on his head with the entire responsibility and guilt. This killing of the 1 st goat is not an atoning sacrifice but represents instead a purification of Israel by removing the incorrigible sinners such as prophesied in Matthew 25:33 aforementioned (see 8.3.3 Atonement or Cleansing ?). This ritual with the 2 goats is not performed during this current era since all animal sacrifices have ceased. Was this ritual done only by Aaron while he was alive ? Has this ritual ceased for ever except for its prophetic accomplishment on the Day of Atonement (the last day) when Satan will be imprisonned for 1000 years and the wicked killed ? Did this ritual then exclusively prefigure the killing of goats and not animal sacrifices ? In fact, the next time this ritual will be accomplished, it will be done by the high priest Yahushua YHVH on the Day of Atonement which is called the last day and the Day of YHVH. In fact, out of necessity of coherence, we must question the translation of these verses which mention the sin-offering (Strong number 02403) . Indeed, most of the biblical translations translate this word 02403 simply by sin 167 times on 270 occurences of the word. Why is it translated by sin-offering ? In fact, the word sacrifice which is Strong number 02077 is not found with the word sin 02403. Besides, we notice that the purpose of drawing lots is to identify a goat in particular. The case of drawing lots for Jonah clearly shows the purpose to identify which individual was responsible for the threatening storm (see Jonah 1:7). Also, drawing of lots served to identify which man would replace Judas Iscariot with the apostles (see Acts 1:26). Thus the Father Creator is asked to identify the individuals. In the case of the 2 goats, Father Creator identifies Satan among the 2 goats to keep him alive and not kill him yet but to remove him from humanity. The 2 goats are condemned to death but the capital execution of Satan will be postponed until after the 1000 year rule. When considering the precise prophecy concerning the rebels who will be killed after the return of Yahushua, we must look for a translation and thus a consistent, coherent and logical interpretation. Verse 8 above could thus be translated as follows. 797
Leviticus 16:8 He will draw lots to know which one will be chosen to be killed for or by the Eternal [ YHVH] and which one will be chosen to live with the guilt of the sins. According to the prophecy, these rebels will be killed by Yahushua YHVH or by angels and\or by the 144000 under the orders of Yahushua-YHVH. We would thus have a coherence for this ritual with the prophecies (see 11.5 The Day of Atonement). The concept of an atoning sacrifice of a goat is then excluded from this ritual that is simply the slaughter of the goat. In conclusion, the day when Satan will be imprisoned for 1000 years corresponds to the last day of his rule which will be a Day of Atonement, a day of 24 hours called the last day by Yahushua (see 11.5.1 The Last Day). The fasting on that day corresponds to the solemnity and severity of that last day which will be a terrible day of wrath and destruction (see 11.5.4 The Day of YHVH). Logically, the appetite of all living beings on earth will simply be absent in face of the extreme distress of that day. This day of atonement is not only a process of forgiveness and salvation but also of purification. In fact, the sheep at the right hand of Yahushua will effectively be forgiven because their sins will already have been atoned by Yahushua's sacrifice at Passover. In contrast, the goats on his left will have refused Yahushua's sacrifice and their sins will not have been atoned for. That is why the atonement process in their case is strictly a purification/cleansing process by elimination. The purification/cleansing of the planet will result from the elimination/removing of the wicked. That is the same concept which will remove Satan and the unclean spirits from the presence of the humans for 1000 years on that Day of Atonement (see 11.5.8 Satan Imprisoned and 11.5.9 Capture of the Unclean Spirits).

10.9 Feast of Tents The feast or solemnity of tents is commanded to be observed from the 15 th day in the 7th month of the sacred calendar, for 7 days in tents or booths or huts (translated as tabernacles). This solemnity represents an important step (the 6 th) in the plan of salvation. Its prophetic accomplishment will be a period of peace and prosperity under the millenial reign of Yahushua on earth (see 11.6 The Feast of Tents). This Feast begins on the 15th day of the 7th month, with a holy convocation. Leviticus 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles [05521 sookaw ; tent, booth] for seven days unto YHVH. 35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work. It begins after the harvests which were done before the end of the year (see 9.4 The Annual Cycle). Exodus 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field. This Feast lasts 7 days. In the Old Testament, sacrifices of animals were commanded. In the new covenant and during the present age, the animal sacrifices and offerings by fire have ceased following Yahushua's perfect sacrifice. However, the holy convocations are always in force. The holy convocation is commanded on the 1 st day. However, it would be good to assemble every day to eat together and to benefit from the fellowship. The 8th day is set apart as a separate solemnity (see 10.10 The Last Great Day). Leviticus 23:36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH: it is a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work. 37 These are the set feasts of YHVH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day; 38 besides the sabbaths of YHVH, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill-offerings, which ye give unto YHVH. 39 Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of YHVH seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. We are specifically ordered to live in tents or huts during these 7 days. However, the cold climate in certain northern countries does not allow the use of tents. All persons must be adequately accommodated, particularly the elderly, the children, etc. If possible, we can place a tent nearby, just as a reminder that we 799
lived in tents after our deliverance from Egypt. 40 And ye shall take you on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm-trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before YHVH your El seven days. 41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto YHVH seven days in the year: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations; ye shall keep it in the seventh month. 42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home-born in Israel shall dwell in booths; 43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am YHVH your El. For this Feast, as for all 3 annual solemnities, we must keep it in the place that Father YHVH has chosen for us (see 10.11 The Place of Solemnities). Deuteronomy 16:16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before YHVH thy El in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not appear before YHVH empty: The solemnities will be kept in Jerusalem when Yahushua will be king on earth. For the nations, the tribes and families which will live outside of Jerusalem during the millenium, they will send their representatives in Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tents. Zechariah 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, YHVH of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. For our part, we who are in exile in the Modern Babylon, we cannot obviously go to Jerusalem every year and to every Feast. We wish to obey the command to go instead in the place which Father YHVH El has chosen to put His name to keep His solemnities. We should go instead in the place which Father YHVH El wants usto go under the circumstances which He will have determined. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________

10.9.1 The Reading of the Law The people were commanded every 7 years to read the law to teach it to the new people and to recall it to others (see 8.6.3 The Reading of the Law). This reading is thus commanded in the year of release that is the 7 th year, a land Sabbath (see 9.5 The Land Cycle and the Sabbatical Year). Deuteronomy 31:10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, 11 when all Israel is come to appear before YHVH thy El in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and thy sojourner that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear YHVH your El, and observe to do all the words of this law; In these public teachings, we included the children. We can see how Nehemiah had applied this command of Moses. Nehemiah 8:1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which YHVH had commanded to Israel. 2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: 6 and Ezra blessed YHVH, the great El. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with the lifting up of their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped YHVH with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. 8 And they read in the book, in the law of El, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading. 18 Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of El. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the manner.

10.9.2 Tents or Booths? We find in the different English biblical translations the expression the Feast of tabernacles. Today, in our modern language, the word tabernacle is not used anymore to designate a known or specific type of dwelling. The term tabernacle designated the portable temple built in the desert according to the heavenly model. However, for the annual solemnity which begins on the 15th day of the 7th month, the expression the Feast of Tents is used in this work for the following reasons. Indeed, we are commanded to be live in temporary shelters for the 7 day Feast during the 7 th month. That is why, it is important to know exactly what is required so as to do it correctly. The word tent is clear and contemporary enough to be clearly understood whereas the word tabernacle is for all practical purposes obsolete and useless to designate the type of shelter commanded for this solemnity. As we see below, the translators were incoherent by translating the same original word succa DHS 05521 with various words. Sometimes, we find the word tabernacle, sometimes tent and sometimes booth. We notice this incoherence in some versions below. AV Leviticus 23:42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths : 43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths , when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am YHVH, your El. (AV) AV Leviticus 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto YHVH. (AV) LXXE Leviticus 23:42 Seven days ye shall dwell in tabernacles : every native in Israel shall dwell in tents , 43 that your {1} posterity may see, that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tents , when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. {1) Gr. Generations} (LXXE) LXXE Leviticus 23:34 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month, there shall be a feast of tabernacles seven days to the Lord. (LXXE) BBE Leviticus 23:42 For seven days you will be living in tents ; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places: 43 So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am YHVH, your El. 802
( BBE) BBE Leviticus 23:34 Say to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the feast of tents be kept to YHVH for seven days. (BBE) What we must recognize is the temporary and portable character of this type of dwelling. An on-line dictionary gives the definition of the word booth as follows (excluding the modern uses such as telephone booth): - (Historical Terms) (formerly) a temporary structure for shelter, dwelling, storage, etc - any temporary structure, as of boughs, canvas, or boards; shed. - First a temporary dwelling made of branches, material, etc. The same dictionary gives the definition of the word tent as follows : 1. A portable shelter, as of canvas, stretched over a supporting framework of poles with ropes and pegs. The booth has a less temporary and less portable aspect. Furthermore, today, the tent is an easily available commodity which can also be easily folded, moved and reused. The word tent will be used in this work for the solennity of the 7th month based on the above considerations and because of its use in many English and French translations. Yet this is not a definitive answer but it is supplied as a helpful interpretation. Obviously, in the northern countries where the temperature is too cold to use this type of shelter during the feast, we must use other permanent types of housing. Although permanent, we will use these houses for the period of the feast only, thus as a temporary shelter. If possible, it would be useful in these cases to set up a small tent nearby as a sign to remind us of the command to live in tents. During the millenium, all our questions will be answered because we will all be perfectly instructed what to do during the feast of the 7 th month as for all other solemnities.
10.10 The Great Day of Addition The Great Day of Addition is called the Last Great Day in the New Testament's modern translations because it is a sabbatical day. The true name of this feast is revealed in the Book of Jubilees. 803
Jubilees 32:29. And he stayed there yet another day, and sacrificed there according to all that had been ordained on former days, and called its name " addition," for this day was added ; and the first day he called " the festival." 30. And thus it appeared that it would be, and it is written on the tablets of heaven ; and on this account it was revealed to him, that he should celebrate it, and that he should add it to the seven days of the festival, and its name was called "addition," because it comes to the seven days; and thus is the festival by number of days of the year. It is considered as the 8 th day of the Feast of Tents, that is the 22 nd day of the 7th month. It is a holy day distinct from the Feast of Tents and a holy convocation. Leviticus 23:39 ... and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. Leviticus 23:36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH: it is a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work. In the New Testament, Yahushua kept his Father's solemnities and on such a solemnity, he invited people to come to him so that they may receive life on this day of Addition, the last great day. John 7:37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Yahushua stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. This Day of Addition called the last great day represents a period of the Judgment of the Great White Throne for the rest of humanity who are part of the 2nd resurrection (see 11.7 The Day of Addition). This last judgment is the opportunity to accept Yahushua's invitation to receive the most extraordinary conceivable offer: immortality in a paradise where perfect happiness will reign. The only condition is to repent and agree to obey the only True Creator, Father YHVH, our Savior. Those who do not repent will be subject to the lake of fire, that is, to the 2nd death (see 5.15 The 2nd Death and 11.7.3 The lake of Fire). As in verse 37 above, it will be the invitation which will be made during the Last Judgment. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ________

10.11 Preparation Day All servile work is forbidden on the Sabbath and holy days. To correctly observe the sabbatical days in question, all preparation must be done beforehand. In the desert, the instructions of the angel YHVH were clear: everything must be done on the 6th day so that nothing is done during the 7th day and all must rest. Exodus 16:26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is a Sabbath, there will be none.” 27 On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they found none. 28 And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? 29 See! The LORD has given you the Sabbath; therefore on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Remain each of you in his place; let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.” 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. In fact, the angel YHVH did establish the concept of the day of preparation, when we have to do everything beforehand. In this way, we can really rest from servile work which is normally done during the 6 days of the week. We also note that the Sabbath applies to all human beings as well as to animals. Exodus 23:12 “Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant woman, and the alien, may be refreshed. The Sabbath was clearly observed by the first disciples like their master Yahushua. The observance of the day of preparation reported in the New Testament obviously confirms the observance of the weekly Sabbath and also of the solemn days by the disciples of Yahushua and by the Jews. Matthew 27:62 Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate Mark 15:42 And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Luke 23:54 It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning. 55 The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. John 19:14 Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” John 19:31 Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. John 19:42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Yahushua there. 805
In spite of some poor translations, the observance of the preparation day by the contemporaries of Yahushua is irrefutable as is the observance of the Sabbath days.
10.12 Servile Work During the days of holy convocations to be observed, in the day of weekly Sabbath, the annual solemn days and the intercalary days, it is forbidden to do servile works. We must distinguish the activities which are allowed on the days of weekly Sabbath, the annual solemn days and the days of the intercalary days called new moons. Leviticus 23:7 In the first day you shall have an holy convocation: you shall do no servile work therein. The term servile work in the verse above is translated in the other versions as work of service. We should understand the meaning of this term as being work or activities which are normal and daily in our life. We can certainly include all activities or work which are paid with a salary or with some goods. We can also include all the preparation of food which can be made before such day to keep. Among the different types of days to be observed without servile work, there are some distinctions in the Bible (see 10.13.1 Requirements). The Day of Atonement is the most solemn Sabbath day and the strictest among all days. The weekly Sabbath day is preceded by a day called the day of preparation. This preceding day of preparation thus allows to prepare beforehand all the food and any other task which would be required, such as bringing in the firewood if it is strictly required to heat with wood. Like the weekly Sabbath day, all holy days which are specifically qualified as days of Sabbath [07676] of rest [07677] must be prepared beforehand as the day of weekly Sabbath. The other days, as the intercalary days called new moon, it is allowed to prepare some food as it is explained during the days of Unleavened Bread. Exodus 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16 And in the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that 806
which every man must eat, that only may be done by you. In all the days to observe, it is forbidden to buy or sell. Amos 8:5 Saying, When will the new moon [intercalary day] be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________
807
10.13 Holy Convocations The holy convocations associated with Father YHVH's solemnities are commanded gatherings on the solemn days which He decreed. It is important to note this requirement to assemble as a command and not as a voluntary and secondary aspect in Father Creator's solemnities. The ram's horn is sounded to announce the holy convocations, to command the marching of the people, to launch battle assaults and to command plagues on modern Babylon (see 10.15 Sounding the Trumpet). Here are the holy commanded convocations. 1) The 7th day weekly Sabbath (see 10.1 The Sabbath). Leviticus 23:3 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no work; it is a sabbath to YHVH in all your dwellings. 2) The intercalary days called new moons in the Bible (see 9.3.2 Intercalary Day) Psalm 81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon [intercalary day], in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the El of Jacob. 3) The 1st day of unleavened bread Leviticus 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to YHVH; seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. 4) The 7th day of unleavened bread Leviticus 23:8 ... on the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work." 5) The Feast Of Weeks (Pentecost) Leviticus 23:16 counting fifty days to the morrow after the seventh sabbath; then you shall present a cereal offering of new grain to YHVH...21 And you shall make proclamation on the same day; you shall hold a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work: it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 6) The Day of Trumpets Leviticus 23:24 "Say to the people of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation. 7) The Day of Atonement Leviticus 23:27 "On the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be for you a time of holy convocation, and you shall afflict 808
yourselves and present an offering by fire to YHVH. 8) The 1st day of the Feast of Tents Leviticus 23:34 "Say to the people of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month and for seven days is the feast of booths to YHVH. 35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. 9) The Great Day of Addition Leviticus 23:36 Seven days you shall present offerings by fire to YHVH; on the eighth day you shall hold a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to YHVH; it is a solemn assembly; you shall do no laborious work. 10) Yahushua's Passover (10.3.4). 1Corinthians 11:24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." 25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." We must hold an additional convocation for Yahushua's Passover on the night of the 14th day of the 1st month. That day is not a Sabbath day but that ritual is compulsary for the elect. As for the 14th day of the 1st month between the 2 evenings, there was an informal convocation in the old covenant as the people slaughtered the lamb in the afternoon. The slaughter was certainly an informal gathering of the Israelites around the slaughtered lambs in the afternoon. 11) The Omer Wave Offering Leviticus 23:10 "Say to the people of Israel, When you come into the land which I give you and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest; The day of the Omer Wave Offering is neither commanded as sabbatical nor as a holy day but on which we may hold a convocation as a memorial (see 10.3 Passover and 10.5 The Omer Wave Offering). That day is the 1 st day in the Omer count to the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost). Today, considering the enormous distances separating the scattered brethren in the different nations, it is difficult, otherwise impossible to meet physically in person on all the Sabbath days and even on the annual solemnities. However, our Father Creator allowed the development of modern communication technologies such as the telephone and the internet which allow us at least to converse from one continent to another without problem. We should take advantage of these technologies to make contacts between brethren on the days of Sabbath, Intercalary Days (called New Moons) and solemnities. 809
10.13.1 Requirements The following table shows the different applicable requirements for the days of weekly Sabbath, for the annual solemn days and for the intercalary days (translated as new moon). Every solemn day requires a holy convocations and a day of preparation. The forbidding of servile work may vary a little between these days.
810
811
10.13.2 The Place for Solemnities The Bible mentions certain prescriptions in regard to the place where to keep Father YHVH's solemnities or feasts. Except for the weekly Sabbaths and the intercalary days called new moons which are normally kept at home, it is necessary to plan ahead the longer annual solemnities. In particular, traveling to far places does require more planning. The place to keep the solemnities must be chosen by Father YHVH where He will place His name. We must note that the expression within your gates makes reference to the city of usual residence or simply the designated territory if the city is not walled. Deuteronomy 12:11 Then there will be a place marked out by YHVH your El as the resting-place for his name, and there you will take all the things which I give you orders to take: your burned offerings and other offerings, and the tenth part of your goods, and the offerings to be lifted up, and the offerings of your oaths which you make to YHVH; 12 And you will be glad before YHVH your El, you and your sons and your daughters, and your men-servants and your women-servants, and the Levite who is with you in your house, because he has no part or heritage among you. Deuteronomy 16:13 Take care that you do not make your burned offerings in any place you see: 14 But in the place marked out by YHVH in one of your tribes, there let your burned offerings be offered, and there do what I have given you orders to do. 15 Keep the feast to YHVH your El for seven days, in the place marked out by YHVH: because the blessing of YHVH your El will be on all the produce of your land and all the work of your hands, and you will have nothing but joy. Deuteronomy 16:2 And thou shalt sacrifice the passover unto YHVH thy El, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHVH shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there. Deuteronomy 12:17 In your towns you are not to take as food the tenth part of your grain, or of your wine or your oil, or the first births of your herds or of your flocks, or anything offered under an oath, or freely offered to YHVH, or given as a lifted offering; 18 But they will be your food before YHVH your El in the place of his selection, where you may make a feast of them, with your son and your daughter, and your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is living with you: and you will have joy before YHVH your El in everything to which you put your hand. When we go to a place to keep the solemnities outside of our cities, we have the promise that our possessions will be protected during our absence. Exodus 34:24 For I will send out the nations before you and make wide the limits of your land; and no man will make an attempt to take your land while you go up to give worship to YHVH, three times in the year. 812
There is also another prescription if the place which Father YHVH chose is too far. If we cannot go to it, then we may observe the solemnity at home. Deuteronomy 12:21 If the place marked out by YHVH your El as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which YHVH has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living. Moreover, if the place is too far to bring our live stock, there is a prescription to sell them locally and then bring the money instead to the place YHVH has chosen to buy with the money what we wish. Deuteronomy 14:24 And if the way is so long that you are not able to take these things to the place marked out by YHVH your El for his name, when he has given you his blessing, because it is far away from you; 25 Then let these things be exchanged for money, and, taking the money in your hand, go to the place marked out by YHVH your El for himself; 26 And with the money get whatever you have a desire for, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your soul’s desire may be: and make a feast there before YHVH your El, and be glad, you and all your house; In particular, in the old covenant, the sacrifice of the Passover lamb had to be done outside of our doors, that is, outside of our cities of usual residence, at the place chosen by Father YHVH. Deuteronomy 16:2 The Passover offering, from your flock or your herd, is to be given to YHVH your El in the place marked out by him as the resting-place of his name. … 5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which YHVH thy God giveth thee; 6 but at the place which YHVH thy El shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt. These verses above in particular were incorrectly applied by some to the New covenant Passover because there are no more sacrifices of lambs or other animals. Verse 5 concerns only the slaughter of the lamb which has ceased in the New covenant. As a consequence, the requirement to go outside of our cities because of the Passover sacrifice is not applicable nor compulsory any more from this verse only. Even during the 1 st Passover, the Israelites had not gone out of their cities of residence to sacrifice the Passover. On the contrary, they had been commanded to remain in their houses of residence to sacrifice and eat the lamb. We could argue that the condition to sacrifice the Passover outside of their doors (cities) applied when they would be established in the land of their inheritance. Today, as spiritual Israel, we are not established in our lands of inheritance yet either. 813
Jerusalem is the place where Father YHVH has placed His name for ever. Isaiah 18 :7 In that time shall the present be brought unto YHVH of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of YHVH of hosts, the mount Zion. 1Kings 11:36 And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there. 2Kings 21:4 And he put up altars in the house of YHVH, of which YHVH had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name. 2Kings 21:7 He put the image of Asherah which he had made in the house of which YHVH had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever. Jerusalem is the perfect place to celebrate Father YHVH's solemnities because therein will be His name. Zechariah 14:16 And it will come about that everyone who is still living, of all those nations who came against Jerusalem, will go up from year to year to give worship to the King, YHVH of armies, and to keep the feast of tents. Certainly, the nations, at least their representatives, will have to go up to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tents (Tabernacles). Moreover, it is reported that at the age of 12, Yahushua had gone up to Jerusalem for the Passover feast with his mother and Joseph. Luke 2:41 And every year his father and mother went to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover. We thus must consider these prescriptions to go to a place to keep the solemnities of Father YHVH. We should not thus generalize prescriptions which are specific and apply them to all circumstances. It is recommended and rightly so, to go to a place to keep Father YHVH's solemnities to celebrate and be delighted with brethren of same convictions. However, it is not always possible to do so due to divers personal circumstances. In all cases, we should always look for the place which Father YHVH has chosen for us to observe His solemnities. This must be made in prayer to our Father Creator YHVH. Casting lots is a biblical means which may be used to know personnally Father Creator's choice (see 8.10 Drawing Lots).
814
10.13.3 Convocation Guide Here is a summarized guide for the observance of Father YHVH's holy convocations and solemnities. In this guide, we must distinguish mere suggestions in contrast to the law which is compulsery. Leviticus 23:1 And YHVH spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of YHVH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts. Deuteronomy 16:15 Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto YHVH thy El in the place which YHVH shall choose; because YHVH thy El will bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful. 16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before YHVH thy El in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles [tents]; and they shall not appear before YHVH empty: This guide contains a list of subjects and items to be remembered when getting ready to rejoice in Father YHVH's solemnities. This guide constitutes a reminder to better prepare and rejoice in His Solemnities. It may be useful for newcomers in the Faith. Certain suggestions may apply to solemnities when we travel in a foreign place. For the local Sabbath convocations, the organisation may be much more simpler, especially when we do not travel far or/and the conferences are done using modern technologies such as the internet, the phone or other. Choice of the place of the Solemnities The place of the solemnities is chosen by our Father Creator (see 10.11 The Place of the Solemnities). We should avoid restaurants during the days of Sabbath, and the use of places with inclusive services such as motel or hotel where employees work on the Sabbath days and the holy days. Travelling to the place of the Solemnities During a Sabbath day or a Holy Day, unless it is an emergency, we should avoid long travelling or using commercial services (planes, trains, taxis, etc.) where people are paid to work. For those who work as employees, a sufficient number of days off should be obtained from the employer to allow travelling and the initial preparation at the place of solemnities for the complete duration. Conditions of Participation To participate in Father YHVH's solemnities, every person must believe in the only True Creator, YHVH, the Father and Creator of Yahushua the messiah, the Christ. Besides the baptized adults (and their children), all adults who sincerely want to learn the Perfect Way in a spirit of humility and peace may participate also. Only the night of Yahushua's Passover is exclusively limited to the baptized adults. All 815
other activities of the Solemnities are opened to all the guests. Baptism before the Solemnities The meetings for the solemnities in foreign places are sometimes the occasion to meet brethren from distant continents and thus to proceed with the baptisms. We may proceed to the baptisms of repentant adults (20 years and more) just before the beginning of the solemnity period. In particular, before Yahushua's Passover, it allows the adults recently baptized to participate for the first time. Number of participants Generally, the number of participants in the solemnities should not exceed 20 persons. This number is based on the solemnity of the Passover where people were gathered in a sufficient number to eat a lamb. A great number of persons imposes excessive constraints on the organization, the resources and the costs to rent the facilities. This number is suggestion only. Each situation must be examined to determine if more than one group would be easier. Organization of the Solemnities A man should be named or chosen as coordinator for each place for the organization and the coordination. A meeting of all the adults should be done at the place before the beginning of the solemnity to review the organization, the sharing of responsibilities and all other relevant questions. A written program for each day and a list of responsibilities should be handed to all the adults. All unaccompanied participants should hand to the coordinator in an envelope the coordinates of a close person (family or friend) to contact (telephone) in case of emergency. Offering at the Solemnities An offering is commanded at Father YHVH's 3 annual solemnities: Unleavened Bread, Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) and the Feast of Tents. No man may attend empty handed, as small as the offering may be. The Offering must be made before the first Holy Day or Sabbath of the solemnity. This offering in money or food products is destined for all to consume during the solemnity. Preliminary preparation and in posteriori In a foreign place, a period of adequate preparation should be planned before the beginning of the solemnity to get ready and prepare the place. If possible, we should plan a period of 24 hours before the beginning of the first Sabbath or of the first day when the first convocation begins. It also allows to do certain last minute purchases. Also, after the solemnity, the place must be left in good condition and in its original state before our use as the responsibility of all participants. All should thus plan a period of time for this task before leaving. 816
We should post at the entrance of the place of solemnity and of the conference room in the sight of all a banner of the Father YHVH's 10 commandments. Sharing the responsibilities and tasks All the participants should contribute to the efforts of preparation according to their capacities. If it is necessary to move furniture or other objects such as statutes or unwanted images in a rented place, we must note their exact places before moving them to put them back in their respective places before leaving. The surroundings should be examined before the beginning of the solemnity for matters of security and to take precautions in case of unexpected and\or dangerous situations. The food should be prepared as much as possible beforehand, in particular before the Sabbath days and Holy Days. The person responsible for security must inquire of the location of the closest hospital and emergency services and inform all the participants on a printed note. Different tasks are necessary for the organization and the preparation of the place. All are invited to participate in these tasks according to the list of shared responsability prepared beforehand. The coordinator of the solemnity will attribute to each person certain responsibilities for the period of the stay according to the talents and the capacities of each. Among these responsibilities, we can enumerate the following ones: - The organization of the place - The initial preparation of the place - The food and the additional purchases - The directing of the convocations - The health and security - The neatness of the site. The site must be left at least as clean as before our arrival and if possible, in better state Special needs It is the responsibility of all to see to fill the special needs of the handicaped persons or those having specific needs. The place should be chosen while taking into account persons using wheelchairs, for example. If necessary, adults would be assigned for the whole period to care for such persons. Responsibility for the Children in a foreign location The parents must have the complete surveillance of their children at the place at all times. They must not leave their children outside their sight without surveillance nor let them leave the place alone. In the case of single-parent, the other adults must assist the parent to take charge of the children. An adult helper should be assigned to the parent for the period of the stay to give the necessary 817
help. If possible during the sermons, a separate room should be set up where the children can enjoy themselves and where the parents can listen to the sermons through an audio system in this room. If possible, biblical lessons and activities should be prepared for the children by the mothers and the other volunteers in a separate room. Procedure for the convocations in a foreign location The convocations during the solemnities should normally be held once a day, either at the 3rd hour, or at the 9th hour (see 9.1.1 The 3rd and 9th Hours). Only for Passover, the following convocations must be considered at the hours fixed below. The convocations at Yahushua's Passover must take place just after sunset on the 14th day. The convocations of the Memorial of the Death of the Lamb is necessarily held at the 9th hour on the 14th day. The convocations of the Night to be much remembered on the 15 th day must take place after sunset on the 15th day with a meal together where the youngest person asks the question ‘ Why do we do this ’. The answers given by all the participants constitute the basis for the discussion. This night watch should continue after midnight to commemorate the passage of the angel. For the Feast of Tents, the convocations are at the normal time of 3 rd hour and 9th hour. The convocations include singing Bible hymns, a sermon or the reading of the Bible and biblical studies. Only the baptized men may read at the convocations. When only women meet, they may do the readings. Concerning the prayers, following Yahushua's recommendations, they should be made in private and not in public. Thus, the prayers in the convocations are not compulsory nor are they imposed as standard procedures. The convocations could be according to the following example : 1 - Sing Bible hymns for opening 2 - Sermon or Reading of the Bible and/or biblical studies 3 - Period of discussion and question 4 - Sing hymns to close 5- Question period for women Women must abstain from talking during the official meeting. An informal question period and free discussions should be planned after the offical meeting to allow women to ask questions to their husbands. Single or unmarried women may ask their questions to the men in charge of teaching. The preparation days must be planned before every day before Sabbath and Holy Days. Bible hymn singing The songs should reflect the true biblical theology and the Essential Doctrines 818
(see 3.1). We must find and sing hymns suited to our Only True Creator YHVH. A book of hyms is available for this purpose. Certain hymns have been modified accordingly from their original version to better reflect the original names. There is a CD of musical accompanying for these hymns (see 13. Download). Expenses at the convocations Each individual or family must use the 2 nd tithe to cover any expenses for traveling, dwelling and food at the place of solemnity. Each person who would be in need must speak about it before coming to the solemnity to the coordinator. The local 3rd year tithe fund is established for that purpose. When a house is rented for a solemnity to be shared by all the participants where the food is shared in common, the expenses at the place should be shared by all the adults equally except for the alcoholic breuvages and personal purchases. We thus divide the total cost of the solemnity by the number of adults and not by the number of rooms or other. The couples are thus considered as 2 adults. The children of less than 20 years are not counted. The children are not thus a charge to their parents only but to all the adults present. Dress Code All the participants at the place must respect the dress code suitable for the convocations and the meals. Men and women should wear decent clean clothing. Women should wear dresses. The Spirit at the Solemnities The place must be peaceful, enjoyable and harmonious. We are commanded to rejoice in the solemnities of our Only True Creator Father YHVH. The behavior should always be courteous and respectful. We must not consume alcohol before directing a holy convocation. Smoking cigarettes or other tobacco is not allowed in the place. Rules for discussion Question periods may be planned outside of official convocations. The discussions must be done in the respect of others. Certain rules of discussion should be applied during the periods of questions and\or discussion in group. These rules of discussion must allow all ( inclusive women) to ask questions freely and in the order. A moderator should be named to keep the order in the group. A single person should speak at one time and should not be interrupted before he has ended. Every person who wants to speak must request with a hand sign if someone is speaking for the moderator to allow each to speak in the order that the persons made the request. Food The food should be planned beforehand for the whole duration of the solemnity. Those who prepare the food beforehand (to freeze) to share must keep their 819
receipts of purchase so that these costs may be shared with the others. We must respect the Bible food laws. The persons with special dietary needs or allergies must inform and insure that the persons responsible for the food takes good note of it. List of item to bring Certain items are required for the place and should be enumerated on more complete lists separately. Among these item, we should find the following: - A Bible and a concordance - Hymnal books - Paper and pencils - Audio musical hymns (CD or cassette) - A sound system - Additional loudspeakers (children's room) - Audio wires - Local FM transmitter - A first aid kit - An emergency kit - Pocket flashlights with extra batteries - A banner of the 10 commandments - A printed calendar for the solemnity - A printed program for the period - Drinking water in surplus as required - A shofar (ram's horn)

10.13.3.1 Readings – Passover and DUB A proposed reading schedule for Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread The following readings are proposed during the days of Passover and Unleavened Bread from the website Hope & Truth. In order to read the most recent updated information on the website Hope & Truth, it is important to get a recent download from the website. Last minute revisions are being done. A full PDF copy may be available before leaving for the feast (unless we stay home). We must plan in case there is no internet available during the feast. It would be useful to download the latest file on our laptop or tablet. Some may print only the selected material but it is a more costly option. Preliminary preparation for the feast It is suggested that we set aside on the 10th day of the 1st month the fruit of the vine and the food product to be used to make the unleavened bread. This is to remind us that day when Yahushua entered Jerusalem on a donkey. Also, Yahushua may have begun to fast on this day in preparation of his sacrifice as it was the practice not to feed the live lamb for some days before it was slaughtered. In the year 2015, the 10 th day is on March 29 (see Appendix A Dates for 2015). In preparation of the meal during the night of the 15 th day, we should read the following section to make sure we have the proper food on hand and prepared for that meal. 10.4.2. The 15th Day Meal Introductory information To start, before taking the New Passover symbols on the 14 th day, we should read the introductory information. This read could be done in the latter part of the 13th day before the actual Passover ceremony. For example, we should have a normal supper on the 13th day, before sunset. We can set 1 hour or 2 to read these introductory sections and to discuss after supper and before the ceremony. Proposed reading Below are the proposed sections to read and discuss before taking the New Passover symbols. This can be done before sunset or after sunset. It is not necessary to take the Passover immediately after sunset but rather during the night of the 14th day, preferably before midnight. 10.3 The Passover 10.3.1 The 1st Passover 10.3.1.1 Diagram 10.3.2 In the Old Covenant 10.3.3 In the New Covenant 821
10.3.4.0 Yahushua's Passover 10.3.4.1 Order of Elements 10.3.4.2 Foot Washing 10.3.4.3 The Bread 10.3.4.4 The Wine After this reading is completed, we could take a short break to rest and meditate in silence before taking the New Passover symbols. We can decide on a duration of 15 minutes, more or less. It is a solemn memorial in regard to his death and suffering but it is also a memorial to rejoice in his mercy and our redemption and salvation through his sacrifice. The next step is the ceremony itself which must be done after sunset and possibly after dark to make sure we are on the 14th day. Proceed with the ceremony (10.3.4.5 New Passover Ceremony). 10.3.4.5 New Passover Ceremony Holy convocation for the death of the lamb during the afternoon of the 14th day A holy convocation may be held at the 9 th hour (14:00 -15:00), in the afternoon to commemorate Yahushua's death at this hour. The 14 th day is also a preparation day since the following day is a holy day (1 st day of ULV). We could read the Bible verses related to his sacrifice and the death of the lamb (starting from Matthew 26:46 or starting from Mark 15:1 or starting from Luke 23:1) Then we could read the following sections. 6.4.7 His Atoning Sacrifice 10.3.5 The Jews' Passover Other sections to read If time allows, the following sections may be read during the time left of the 14th day or during the 7 days of the feast. 11.1.0 11.1.1 11.1.2 11.1.3 11.2.0 11.2.1 11.2.2
Passover (1st) Grace The Elect's Calling The Atoning Sacrifice Unleavened Bread (2nd) Sanctification Baptism
After sunset of the 14th day, that is, it is the beginning of the 15 th day and the beginning of the 7 days of unleavened bread. These 7 days are also memorial of 822
our coming out of Egypt and coming out of sin, that is, repenting. A holy convocation may be held to begin the feast days. It is not a night watch as the old covenant. The following sections may be read. 10.4 The Unleavened Bread 10.4.1 15th day Memorial 10.4.2. The 15th Day Meal 10.4.3 Leaven Types 10.4.4 The Good Leaven During the daylight part of the 15 th day, there may be a holy convocation in the afternoon, allowing for a good rest after the night watch. The following sections could be read as they relate to the Passover and the related concepts of sanctification, redemption and salvation. 2.6.9 Difficult Verses: Exodus 12:6 8.3.1 Redemption 10.2.1 Sanctification The Omer Wave The following sections are suggested on the day of the wave omer. 10.5 The Wave Omer 6.4.8.0 His Resurrection 6.4.8.1 Diagram - Resurrection 6.4.8.2 Calendar 30 CE These sections may be done over the following days of the feast. 11.0 YHVH's Plan in 7 Solemnities 11.01 Diagram 11.02 Reconciliation 11.03.0 Basic Principles 11.03.1 Predestination 11.03.2 Delegation 11.03.3 Universal Salvation? 11.03.4 Free Will 11.03.5 The Great Lesson 11.03.6.0 The Sign of Jonas 11.03.6.1 For Nineveh 11.03.6.2 For Messiah 11.03.6.3 For Jerusalem 11.03.6.4 For Humanity 823

10.15 Blow the Shofar The trumpet is sounded to call the people to holy convocations, to command the movements of the people, to launch battle assaults and to send plagues on modern Babylon (see 11.8.3 The 7th Seal and 7 Trumpets). We find 2 different words in Hebrew translated as trumpet according to the dictionary by James Strong: 1) 07782 shophar, ram's horn 2) 02689 chatsots@rah, clarion (silver) Sometimes, they were commanded to sound the silver trumpet [02689] and sometimes the ram's horn [07782], called the shophar. In particular, the shophar is sounded to announce the year of Jubilee on the Day of Atonement. The Jubilee is translated from the Hebrew word yobel 03104 which is found 25 times and translated 21 times as Jubilee (see 9.6 The Jubile). Leviticus 25:10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee [03104 yobel] to you; and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his family. Sometimes, 2 types of trumpet were sounded at the same time. Psalms 98:6 With trumpets [02689 clarion] and sound of cornet make [07782 shophar] a joyful noise before YHVH, the King. In the Bible, the holy convocations are always announced with the sound of the trumpet. Numbers 10:2 Make you two trumpets [02689 clarion] of silver; of a whole piece shall you make them: that you may use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. 3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to you at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. 5 When you blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward. 6 When you blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm. 8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations. 9 829
And if you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then you shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and you shall be remembered before YHVH your El, and you shall be saved from your enemies. 10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings [head of months = intercalary days] of your months, you shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your El: I am YHVH your El. Today, it is not easy to make pure beaten silver trumpets because of the very high cost. On the contrary, the ram's horn is very easy to find and not expensive. The shophar must be also sounded on the intercalary day (translated as new moon) which is a feast or solemnity for Israel. Psalms 81:3 Blow up the trumpet [07782 shophar] in the new moon [intercalary day], in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the El of Jacob. Numbers 10:10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings [head of months = intercalary day] of your months, you shall blow with the trumpets [02689 clarion] over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your El: I am YHVH your El. In particular, on the 1st day of the 7th month, we must sound the trumpet. Leviticus 23:24 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets [08643], an holy convocation. 25 You shall do no servile work therein: but you shall offer an offering made by fire to YHVH. On the Day of Atonement, we must also sound the ram's horn or shophar. This day is also the beginning of the year of jubilee. Leviticus 25:9 Then shall you cause the trumpet [07782 shophar] of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall you make the trumpet [07782 shophar] sound throughout all your land. 10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee to you; and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his family. 11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed. 830
That is why the sound of trumpets is so important for announcing important events. It is at the sound of the trumpet that Yahushua will come down from heaven and that the resurrection will take place . 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord [kurios YHVH] himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Creator Father: and the dead in Christ [messiah] shall rise first: Even more important, the 7 trumpets which will be sounded at the end of this evil age, will announce the last events to take place on earth before the fall of modern Babylon and the establishment of the Government of Father Creator on earth with his son Yahushua. Revelation 8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before Creator Father; and to them were given seven trumpets. This scenario with 7 trumpets looks a lot like the one which caused the fall of the walls of Jericho at the 7th trumpet and the total destruction of the city except for the household of Rahab who had made a covenant with the people of Father YHVH. Joshua 6:13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of YHVH went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rear guard came after the ark of YHVH, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets. ... 20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwells in Israel even to this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

11.0 YHVH's Plan in 7 Solemnities Unlike an imperfect human designer / creator of a temporary imperfect invention, the Supreme Creator Father Creator has conceived a plan destined to an eternal success. His plan is perfect and His creation is/will be perfect because our Creator is omniscient and is almighty love. His first creation, the Word Yahushua is perfect and made immortal at his resurrection. If the rest of His creation is not yet perfect, it is only because it is not yet completed. This plan of salvation / creation is actually in development. Perfection will be achieved at the appointed time which He has fixed, foreseen and planned. Indeed, the Father Creator has set up a physical creation and living beings (men and angels) in His image that He is perfecting according to the chronology that he has put in motion. The current plan in process is to save living beings that are in danger of death and to restore lives of those who have already died. That is why, we may speak of salvation as well as creation. That is obviously a plan of an all powerful Father Creator YHVH for whom, nothing is impossible (see 7. The Father Creator YHVH). This perfect Plan includes several elements and details which will briefly be described in the following sections. They are also shown in the general chronology in the diagrams below 11.01 and 11.8.01 which show chronologically the unfolding of the plan up to the implementation of the Kingdom of Father Creator on earth. Our Father Creator, in His infinite wisdom, has created beings who were limited in intelligence and deprived of knowledge and who had to learn everything by experiment and\or exercising faith in obedience (see 6. Creatures). Some of the animals, on the contrary, have an innate behavior, thus without learning. He created living beings in His image who would, like Him, have free will and would not be robots. Given that the nature of Father Creator is infinite love, all creation has a fantastic fate which still exceeds the imagination of all living beings. 1Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which Father Creator has prepared for those who love Him." In other words, the plan aims at perfecting all beings in total free will to the point where they will make no errors, i.e. that they will choose only the good and will reject evil, without ever failing. That perfection is the precondition and a necessary attribute to receive immortality that will be granted with other attributes from the nature of the Father Creator. We, humans, are among those beings which the Father Creator has predestined for immortality in a universe where perfection will reign in all things. In His infinite wisdom, again, Father Creator has placed in the physical creation physical laws and spiritual laws which would guarantee perfection in all things. 833
These laws of Father Creator which are summarized in the 2 great commandments (love your Creator and love your neighbor) are strictly based on love (see 8. YHVH's Laws). If the world had perfectly kept these commandments, we would have already enjoyed paradise. But in His wisdom, the Father Creator gave us (humans and angels) free will : we have the choice to obey or to disobey His Laws. Adam and Eve were subjected to this choice with the temptation and they failed by disobeying. They disobeyed by eating from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil in spite of the warning of the angel of YHVH. Genesis 2:17 "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." Father Creator is omniscient. He knows all the future before it happens. He knew that Adam and Eve would disobey. He knew that Adam and Eve and all humanity would know evil and its fruits, before knowing good. Father Creator knew already that we would learn through our errors. All humanity must know the fruits resulting from each of its choices. In the case of disobedience, it would be suffering and death during Satan's rule of 6000 years. In the case of obedience during Yahushua's 1000 year rule, it will be happiness and perfect health. Logically, according to the foreknowledge of Father Creator, humanity first tasted the fruits of disobedience because of ignorance and weakness. The creation was subjected at first to futility against its will so that every human being would see the bitter fruits of disobedience, so that it would freely reject this choice as soon as it would be free and able to do so. Romans 8:20 for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of Father Creator. This wrong choice had to be made in controlled conditions by Father Creator. We must absolutely understand/believe that the Father Creator foresaw everything beforehand to succeed with His plan and He controls each step and each detail of the process. In face of disasters which burden humanity and the planet, some people may say that the plan is failing. All this evil will turn to a positive end just like the birth pangs turn to the birth of a beautiful healthy child. The objective of the lesson is to know perfectly the fruits of disobedience, to the point where, when a real opportunity will be offered, all would choose to obey a perfect Father who alone, wants and can give perfect happiness in immortality 834
(see 11.02.5 The Great Lesson). Evidently, the great majority of humanity will not be saved before the return of Yahushua on earth. It will be at the 2 nd resurrection and at the judgment of the Great Day that the opportunity of salvation will be available to all. Concerning the sequence and the steps of this plan in time, they are reflected in the 7 annual solemnities and the holy days (see 10. YHVH's Solemnities). These days of solemnities represent the spiritual prophetic steps in the plan which extend over 6000 years of rebellion followed by 1000 years of obedience. The elements of this plan are briefly shown in the different chronologies contained in this work (see 4.3 Chronology of Creation). Here is a chronology of the salvation/creation plan divided in 7 solemnities with some explanations on the spiritual meaning of the 7 holy days of the 7 annual solemnities (see 11.01 Diagram and 10. The Solemnities of YHVH). Each solemnity of YHVH illustrates each prophetic step of this salvation plan during the whole history of humanity. The plan is developped in 7 solemnities through the 7 seals, the 7 trumpets and the 7 cups (see 11.8 The End of This Age). The plan obviously includes a process of spiritual creation and reproduction (see 5.6.3 and 5.6.4). The perfect wisdom, coherence and logic of Father YHVH are illustrated in all His activities, including those commanded of His faithful creatures. Each of the annual solennities is reviewed below in the particular context of the development of this perfect plan. The first 3 solemnities (steps) began in the year 30 CE. We are now anticipating the accomplishment of the next 3 future solemnities which will bring in the millennial reign of Yahushua and of the saints. The Day of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tents are the 3 following future solemnities which will be carried out in the events of the end of this age (see 11.4.02 The Events). The last step after the millennial reign aims to complete the reconciliation and the perfection of all the creation. This will be done with the solemnity of the day of the Judgment of the Great White Throne which aims at perfecting all His creatures with immortality.

11.02 Reconciliation There is in the plan of salvation / creation a fundamental aspect which underlies all the creation. It is the concept of reconciliation. Reconciliation will be carried out by means of redemption (see 8.3.1 Redemption). There is thus in this plan, an original creation and also a salvation of that creation which became corrupted. The plan is explained in detail in the following sections of this chapter. All the physical creation was perfect from the beginning. We read the confirmation in Genesis that everything was good. In the story of the creation, we find for each of the first 5 days, the expression 'El saw that it was good' and another occurence on the 6th day, the expression 'El saw all that he had made and behold, it was very good'. Later however, we read that Adam and Eve disobeyed. They would remain separated from their Father Creator because of sin (see 7.12 His Separation). Thus, all humanity would continue in this separation because of sin which entered physically and spiritually into the human creation. Prior to this human fall, Satan and a third of the angels had already rebelled. In His infinite omniscience and wisdom, Father Creator had foreseen this fall as well as the reconciliation that He would accomplish through His only son Yahushua, formerly the Word, formerly the angel of YHVH (see 11.02.5 The great Lesson). 1Peter 1:18 You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake. Reconciliation is a twofold process within the plan of salvation. The first step is spiritual access to the Father through the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God [Father Creator] by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 2Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of Father Creator, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah], and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that Father Creator was in Christ [Yahushua], reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ [Yahushua], as though Father Creator did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ [Yahushua]’s stead, be ye reconciled to Father Creator. Colossians 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked 837
works, yet now hath he reconciled, The second step in the reconciliation process is the future physical and total reconciliation in the presence of the Father Creator. This final and ultimate reconciliation will be accomplished after the resurrections and the change from mortal to immortal and from corruptible to incorruptible. Only then may we be in the presence of the Father Creator as being totally reconciled. Indeed, it is clear that corruptible flesh and blood cannot enter in the presence of the Father Creator. Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from Creator Father out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Creator Father is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and Creator Father himself shall be with them, and be their God [El Father Creator]. Revelation 22:1 Then the angel showed me a pure river of the water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of Father Creator and of the Lamb. 2 Between the street on one side, and the river on the other side, was the tree of life, which bore twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there will no longer be any curse: but the throne of Father Creator and of the Lamb will be in the city; and his servants will honor him: 4 And they will see his face; and his name will be in their foreheads. Complete reconciliation will result in a new physical and spiritual creation with immortality in the perfection of character and nature (see 5.16 Born again and 6.13 The New Man). In other words, it is the perfection and the purification of the creation that will allow reconciliation with the Father Creator. Currently, in this flesh, reconciliation has begun in the spirit but it is limited because of our sinful flesh. We are in the process of being renewed spiritually to be eventually totally reconciled and saved in the resurrection. That is why we find the expression ' plan of salvation / creation ' in this work. The fact that His creatures can be in the presence of the Father Creator constitutes the final fulfillment of this reconciliation and the end of the separation. It is the same with the unborn child who cannot be in the presence of his biological father until he is born of the flesh. Also, we will be able to be in the presence of our Spiritual Father YHVH when we are born of the spirit, that is, at the change that will occur in the twinkling of an eye after the 1st resurrection.
838
11.03 Basic Principles The creation and the salvation of human beings are a part of a perfect plan by a Being who is Superior in wisdom, in mercy and in power, the Father Creator YHVH, for whom nothing is impossible. Just as His perfect laws are based on love, so is His plan. Every step in the plan is effective in accomplishing His plan up to its finalisation in perfection. The different elements of His plan contribute to our understanding, to our admiration and to our worship of our Father Creator who deserves all praises eternally. That is why Father YHVH has set up all the elements to succeed in His plan, regardless of any and all opposition. Will the clay dictate to the Master Potter and prevent Him from doing what He has determined in His infinite authority and power ?
839
11.03.1 Predestination Predestination is a concept which is difficult to understand but which is nevertheless confirmed by the Inspired Scriptures. Some will refuse to believe in it because they do not understand how we can have free will and yet be predestined all the same. How is it compatible ? The answer to this enigma is found in the great wisdom and the prescience of our Father Creator YHVH. In other words, He knew how to achieve the objective while giving free will to every person (see 11.03.5 The Great Lesson and 11.03.4 Free Will). His plan includes several steps but the most interesting one is really His reconciliation with His creation, i.e. with His creatures. He chose to make this final reconciliation through 2 resurrections from death. The 1 st resurrection takes place at Yahushua's return to begin the 1000 year rule under the government of the Father Creator YHVH on Earth with Yahushua as king. This 1 st reconciliation to immortality concerns a group of 144000 of the 12 tribes of Israel and a great multitude. The 2nd resurrection takes place after this 1000 year rule. This 2nd resurrection concerns all the rest of the humanity which was not included in the 1st resurrection (see 11.5.10 The 1st Resurrection). The ultimate purpose of Father YHVH is to save all His creation, i.e. all His children. In other words, it is to acheive His original objective of a perfect creation. Every good father of any family would do so if he was able. We know that there is nothing impossible for the only True Creator YHVH. Evidently, He is indeed able and He will do it. He makes acception of no one but He has decided to do this in 2 steps of reconciliation in His wisdom. He has thus predestined certain persons for the 1 st resurrection and the rest for the 2nd. Ephesians 5:4 just as He [Father Creator] chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,, Ephesians 1:11 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ [Yahushua] should be to the praise of His glory. 840
Romans 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. Ephesians 1:5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, However, only Father YHVH knows the fate of each individual. We cannot know so easily that we are a part of the 1 st or of the 2nd resurrection. Certainly, having predestined us, it is logical to think that our Father YHVH will guide us into the position to which He has decided for each of us. As a matter of fact, we are His creation and He does what He wants with us. Being a Perfect Father, we can believe that He will do everything to place each individual where He wanted him since the beginning, as the Master Potter has indeed the leisure to do what pleases Him with the clay. Given that Father YHVH intends and has the firm capacity to save each of his children, it is only a question of time, no matter in which resurrection we are, in the 1st or the 2nd. As soon as we leave the consciousness of this life in physical death, we shall resume our consciousness (after a time of unconsciousness) in the resurrection predestined for us, to proceed towards immortality according to the perfect plan of salvation of our Father YHVH. For some, the transfer of this life could be in a twinkling of an eye from a mortal corruptible body, to an incorruptible immortal body according to Paul's description in 1Cor. 15:52-55. This is still predestined to some.
841
11.03.2 Delegation The plan of salvation of the Father Creator YHVH is accomplished through His creation and through His creatures according to the concept of delegation (see 7.7 His Delegation). Being Invisible Immaterial Spirit, the Father Creator Supreme YHVH decided to act through physical subordinate intermediaries with His creation and with His creatures which are physical. All the process of creation and salvation is accomplished through angels and delegated subordinate men who receive His power and His authority for accomplish His specific objectives. His only son Yahushua, formerly the Word, formerly the angel YHVH, is the exclusive intermediary through whom the Father Creator created at first the world and through whom finally, the world will be saved (see 6.4 Yahushua and 11.1.3 The Atoning Sacrifice).
11.03.3 Universal Salvation In spite of the 1st death which all humans suffer as a penalty for sins, there is a possibility for universal salvation, i.e. immortality for almost all human beings. This principle of quasi universal salvation does include the certainty of severe punishments to men and to demons. This universal salvation would result from the Father YHVH El's infinite goodness from which very few people would be eternally killed in the lake of fire but would repent (see 11.6.1 The Good News and 11.7.3 The Lake of Fire). In this scenario, certain individuals propose the concept that the lake of fire is not a place of total destruction but rather a process of purification where only wickedness would be destroyed. In that scenario, even the demons and Satan would be cleansed in the lake of fire and thus, would repent and would also be saved. In contrast, the literal translations seem to equate the 2 nd death as eternal death and eternal destruction. If there is a hidden meaning which would allow a resurrection from the lake of fire and a subsequent repentance, it would be to the Power and Mercy of Father YHVH. One would be in agreement with such a scenario of universal salvation based only on the infinite mercy and the power of our Father Creator YHVH El. He knew everything beforehand before creating the angels of whom some would sin but He created them all the same. In that case, He would have created children for a limited period of time to destroy them after for eternity. We know that our Father Creator is omniscient and that His creation was good at the beginning in spite of a temporary rebellion. We assume that He would heal His creation and would 842
save it in the end. Father Creator YHVH allowed and He still allows that some people may repent and receive immortality. Why could the demons not repent also and be saved ? Given that the angels, both the loyal and the disobedient, are also children of Father YHVH El, we could think that He also foresaw salvation for them as much as for human beings. Colossians 1:18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. Verse 20 mentions the reconciliation of what is on the earth and in heavens. We could then ask who in heaven, needs to be reconciled ? Who is there? In fact, this verse speaks about heavenly beings, i.e. about beings which have their origin in heaven. The demons are heavenly beings who were cast to earth. We could thus interpret this verse 20 to include the reconciliation of the demons also. The concept of predestination is incompatible with a scenario of eternal destruction (see 11.03.1 Predestination). Indeed, if certain individuals were predestined to receive eternal life, it would imply by deduction that some were predestined for eternal destruction. This possibility is apparently incompatible with the infinite mercy and goodness of our Father YHVH. Yet we cannot entirely know His wisdom and it may be that some individuals may freely choose to refuse to repent and freely accept to die eternally. That seems the case with Satan who will have 1000 years to reconsider his decision. Yet, he will apparently still refuse to repent. It may be that universal salvation may simply exclude 3 individuals, those 3 who are clearly thrown in the lake of fire : namely, Satan, the Beast and the false prophet.
843
11.03.4 Free Will Our Father Creator YHVH created us with the freedom of choice in spite of our total ignorance at our birth / creation. Obviously, such a freedom without the appropriate knowledge and experience would necessarily lead us into the current situation of the world, i.e. confusion and the imminent total annihilation of humanity. At first, being free also, Satan and his angels decided to disobey and to reject the plan of their Father Creator YHVH. Secondly, being free also, Adam and Eve, under the deceitful influence of Satan, also chose to reject obedience to their Father Creator YHVH. Being omniscient and almighty, our Father Creator YHVH knew beforehand the choice which these angels and humanity would make. This omniscience is a part of His perfect plan of Salvation. Apparently and logically, even Satan did not know the end result of his fate (death and suffering) from rebelling as he did, otherwise, he would not have done it. The same logic applies for Adam and Eve, even if they had clearly been warned. We may say to our child ‘ do not do this, otherwise you will injure yourself ’, but he does it all the same. Our child may as well be 2 years old, 15 years or 30 years, he does not always obey nor follow our advice anyway. Such as explained somewhere else, all living beings must come to the point where they will choose obedience in full freedom (see 11.03.5 The Great Lesson). This point will arrive after millenniums of sufferings and destruction resulting from disobedience to YHVH's laws. This hard lesson will serve to educate and correct all living beings, angels and men, to learn and ascertain without any ambiguity, that obedience to our Father Creator YHVH was and will always be the perfect thing to do. This point will come about because our Father Creator YHVH will completely open our eyes to the fruits of disobedience and to the fruits of obedience. Our eyes will be opened to the sufferings and death resulting from our disobedience to the Laws of love during our past human life as much personally as collectively during the past 6000 years. Our eyes will be opened to the prosperity and the happiness which will have resulted from the obedience to the laws of love of YHVH during the millenial rule of Yahushua on earth. The contrast between these 2 ways of life will be made clear and evident for all His creatures, so that only a madman or a blind person would not see it. But in this day when the eyes will be opened, exactly, there will not be anymore madmen nor blind persons but all will see the fruits of obedience to a Perfect Father who is Infinite Love and who offers to His children an infinite life filled only with good things. In fact, we learn that all men did not have complete freedom of choice. 844
Romans 11:32 For Creator Father has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all. Free choice will be made and can only be made in full knowledge. No fraud will be possible and all will choose, in complete freedom, eternal obedience to our Father Creator YHVH (see 11.03.3 Universal Salvation). Deuteronomy 30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: In this subject, a recent study on the mechanism of human decision reveals a surprising discovery on the resonant imaging of the brain during the process of decison. The analysis of the images in action seem to reveal that the decision is taken by the brain 4 seconds before the subject officially makes his decision. A possible explanation would be that the brain then acts as a computer which calculates the favorable answer and communicates it to the subject. Full freedom of choice in that case would be questionable because it would then be subject to a process outside the control of the subject.
11.03.5 The Great Lesson We are living in difficult times. Although some of us are living in so-called civilized countries with relative riches, we can still see people facing diverse hardship everywhere. There are still famines and diseases in Africa and elsewhere despite the existence of powerful organisations such as the United Nations whose main objective was supposedly to eradicate poverty in underdeveloped countries. Its true purpose is yet to be uncovered to the world. The wars have made countless victims, besides AIDS which is claiming thousands every year. Some may ask why is there so much suffering and death in this so-called civilized world? Some devil’s advocate would blame our Father Creator for all the misery on earth when it is all the devil's fault. They would ask: “Where is your Creator when we need Him? Why doesn’t He stop this suffering, especially for the children?” These are legitimate questions but the spirit behind those questions is 845
one that does not know the One true Creator Father YHVH, nor His plan. In general, many do not know the history behind these sufferings. They do not know the plan which the Father Creator has prepared to save all humanity fromt itself and from its ennemy Satan. The elect believe that the almighty Father Creator YHVH of all the creation, knows the end from the beginning. He knew in advance that Satan would rebel and would cause all this devastation and these sufferings. If He knew it, why would he have proceeded and created Satan any way ? Why would he let Satan ruin His creation and particularly His new Adam and all his offspring? In this human history, there is a hidden plan which explains all the suffering. His Church knows that His plan of salvation is perfect, independently of the suffering which we must all bear, for some time. Why did the Father Creator choose this particular way with suffering and rebellion to bring us to His perfect will? Because of the free will that He gave us from the beginning (see 11.02.4 The Free Will). Besides, this freedom must remain for ever. The Father Creator created all the beings, angels and men, with the capacity to choose between good and evil. Just like we are now apparently free to choose good or evil, in the future, as immortal beings, we always must have the capacity to choose between good and evil. His son first-born as the angel of YHVH and then, as his human son Yahushua, had this freedom from the beginning. Later, as a resurrected being angel-man, he has still kept this freedom and will keep it for the rest of eternity. However, he has chosen at that time without a single fault, to do the perfect will of His Father and he will always continue to do it. We also must come to choose continually in total freedom to do the good and perfect will of the Father without fault. How will this exploit be realized in us and in all His children? In fact, it is the precondition by which immortality will be given to all created beings. The basic hypothesis is that the Father Creator YHVH, the only True Creator created limited beings who did not have the necessary knowledge at first. The angels also had to exercise faith to remain faithful to their Father Creator YHVH. He did not create robots with programmed behavior who learn nothing but which carry out only predetermined actions and reactions. A robotic machine does not choose freely, but it acts or rather it reacts in a limited programmed way to preconceived values or points or conditions. Rather, the Father Creator created creatures with a freedom of thought who needed to learn about Him and who would learn to choose the good instead of the evil. He works with us so we may learn to choose life instead of death. Before signing a contract, the parties must be clearly informed about the contents, the consequences and the opportunities being offered. In that case: obedience or disobedience to Father Creator were at stake in this contract. The obedience would bring life whereas disobedience would bring death. Although 846
Adam and Eve were informed about the wages of sin, that is, about the death, they did not know really personally what disobedience would really entail. They had never known nor never had seen suffering nor death previously. It would be like explaining to a two-year-old child about the death of a parent and the meaning of this cessation of life while the child knows no such concept. How do we explain that this person has stopped existing and has gone ? Adam and Eve really knew what death and suffering were only after their eviction of the garden, when they began to suffer in their weakened bodies and when they saw other persons dying. Of the 2 choices, death was the choice which Adam and Eve made, but not in the full knowledge of the details which they would taste for the rest of their life. Although legally valid then, the clauses of the contract will certainly be more significant in the resurrection when they will remember themselves of the suffering by which they learnt their lesson. The same concept applies as a lesson globally to humanity which continues to learn today. It is the same lesson of suffering and death caused by disobedience. Was there another way for us to learn it ? Angels nor men could not acquire this experience in their imagination for it to be effective. They had to live in their own flesh and\or see with their own eyes, the effect of disobedience so that this knowledge would be real and effective. Our Father Creator YHVH has planned to give immortality to all His children. But before He can give this immortality to whoever, Father Creator must make sure that each will always do the true and good choice. How could he make sure of this behavior? How could he show His created children to always choose the good and to always reject the evil? We define the good as being the perfect will of the Father Creator and the evil as being everything except the will of the Father Creator who is the Love: it is simple. We do it or we do not do it. Sin is defined as being disobedience to His laws (see 7.10 His Laws and 8. YHVH's Laws). 1John 3:4 Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. According to this plan, obedience would cause immortality and vice versa. In His wisdom, our Father Creator YHVH set up the possibility for us to reject temporarily His will (that is, do evil). Disobedience is a badly used free will. Indeed, as beings created with a limited experience, we face the unknown. Our Father Creator did not implant this experience in us, nor di He implant it in the angels. We see some animals with innate behavior: construction of nest, feeding behavior, etc. Man has no such innate behavior, but must acquire his behavior by learning in this physical life. So, our Father Creator conceived an opportunity for all His creatures to try or to see the result of sin. Obviously, it was not sufficient to tell Adam and Eve that 847
they would die if they disobeyed by eating some forbidden fruit. It was apparently necessary for them to disobey and then to taste the bitterness of their disobedience until they die. Adam lived 930 years to taste it. Do we know now that we can learn almost only from our errors? We call it experience or the school of life. As parents, we all tried to tell our children to do it correctly the first time. But no, they want to try it their way. We also, as children and even as adults, we wanted to experiment forbidden things. Still, we must realize that our Father Creator would not give to any man immortality unless he would know the result of sin personally from the suffering so that he would never choose this way, never in eternity. This included all created beings. On one hand, we know that all the men have sinned and have seen with their own eyes and in their own body, the result of sin which is suffering followed by death. In the case of Yahushua the messiah, he did not sin himself but he really has seen with his own eyes the result of sin and he really suffered the result of sin in his own body by suffering and by dying on the stake. Yahushua really has born for us in his body our sins and our diseases. Although he did not sin, he felt more than any man the wages of sin. Although he already knew as an angel not to sin and to do the will of his Father, he has learnt again perfect obedience from the physical and mental suffering in his human body. Hebrew 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. As for the fallen angels, they are also learning in a most difficult way. They are suffering in their fallen position until the judgment of the last great day (see 10.10 The Last great Day and 11.7 The Judgment of the great Day). They are learning the wages of the sin and they will suffer more for many years. The fallen angels are called unclean spirits by Messiah. To survive, they take refuge in the human beings and the animals who serve as a house (see 6.6 The Unclean Spirits). Luke 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he said, I will return to my house from where I came out....26 Then goes he, and takes to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. As for the loyal army, the angels have seen with their own eyes also the result of the sin. Certainly, the Father Creator has shown them what they needed to know to remain faithful in His will. There apparently was no need that absolutely all the angels would rebel to attain His objective. It is obviously different with humanity because all men have sinned except Yahushua. The Father Creator allowed a third of all the angels to sin with Satan to carry out His plan and attain His 848
purpose at the fixed time. It was apparently sufficient for all humanity and one third of the angels to rebel to demonstrate the wages of sin in an indisputable way. The devastation caused by this rebellion in the whole universe would be sufficient to establish clearly that this ' other choice ' which was disobedience and death, should be avoided for ever. Our purpose in this life then was to get acquainted with sin and to know perfectly its results which are suffering and death. Without the Holy Spirit, we cannot be free from sin (see 7.8 The Holy Spirit). Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope, Again, why our Father Creator would subject us to sin against our will? Why would he allow so much suffering and death? This must be because of eternity. He must be assured that nobody having immortality, can disobey Him again and through ignorance, allow sin and suffering to enter among the immortal El where the Father Creator lives through the Holy Spirit. When the human history will be finished and when we will examine in the past the devastation caused by disobedience (the sin), the lesson will be complete. All the created beings will have their eyes opened and their mind enlightened to see the perfect will of our Father Creator. Every person without exception will have seen and tried the bad choice which we all had to live before really making the good final choice, that is, obedience. The lesson was a difficult lesson which will have taken approximately 6000 years of human suffering with the rest of the creation subjected to vanity. The lesson must be very well learnt by all without the slightest doubt before we enter in eternity with Father Creator. In Yahushua's church, we believe that our Creator Father YHVH is infinite love, power and wisdom. We believe that He is capable and has planned to save all His created beings through the sacrifice of His son Yahushua called the Christ, the messiah. He is capable of bringing all His children to the knowledge of His perfect will and to perfect obedience like Yahushua showed us, both as angel and as man. We then must consider our errors, our sins and our sufferings as being a part of our sad but necessary lesson. We do not need to sin more voluntarily to finish our lesson. Romans 6:1 What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace? 2 In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer? Only the Holy Spirit can guide us far from sin (disobedience) to bring us to perfect obedience. As elect, it is shown and given to us now the immediate result 849
of sin so that we will have learnt very well the lesson before the 1 st Resurrection (see 11.5.10 The 1st Resurrection). We may consider Father YHVH's plan not only as a plan of salvation, but as a plan of creation in two phases which correspond to the 2 choices being offered. The first (temporary) phase is to choose disobedience and to know the consequences of sin which are suffering and death. The second phase (permanent) is to make the good choice to obey Father YHVH in immortality. It is the way of Father YHVH where the bad choice is made first in a temporary mortal body and the good choice will be permanently made in an immortal body. Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live: So, when He will ask again to His resurrected people to choose life, they will know clearly what is offered and they will be capable of choosing the only good way (see 3. The Perfect Way). It will thus be shown to all created angelic and human beings, the clear results of disobedience in the second resurrection. In contrast, all will see clearly the fantastic offer that Father Creator had prepared from the beginning for all His children. We can clearly see today in the world mental illnesses, blindness and evil, to the point that people cannot be now helped. 2Corinthiens 4:4 In whom the Father Creatorf this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ [messiah Yahushua], who is the image of Creator Father, should shine to them. Today, men are blinded so that they cannot see the good choice. In other words, the spirit of man, when left with himself, is condemned to death and destruction. But Father Creator gives at present a new life and power to the spirit of man by through His own Holy Spirit to protect him from his otherwise inevitable fate. The final purpose is that our Father Creator will remove all blindness, all mental illnesses, all errors, all sins, all deceits, all frauds so that all His created beings will really be free to choose life and the good. Only a foolish man would choose the death? But the even madness itself will be removed. The choice will be evident for all. The perfect will and love of Father Creator will be made visible to all. Then, true freedom is the capacity to choose justice and truth. Previously, we were not free but we were slaves of sin. This verse can then take on a new meaning. John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make 850
you free. Some receive now this opportunity and the true freedom to attain the 1st resurrection through the sacrifice of Yahushua. We will soon see the plan of the Father Creator YHVH proceeding with the 2 witnesses and a great number of persons receiving this true freedom when He will pour out His Holy Spirit (see 11.4.3 The 2 Witnesses). We have many reasons to give honour and to worship our only True Creator who is our Savior and our Father Creator through Yahushua, the first-born of His Creation.
11.03.6 The Sign of Jonah Jonah received a mission from the angel YHVH to go to Niniveh to warn the inhabitants to repent. Jonah 1:1 Now the word of YHVH came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me." However, Jonah ran away in the opposite direction to not obey the angel. Jonah 1:3 But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of YHVH. He went on a ship to flee away but the angel YHVH caused a storm to wreck the ship to the point that the crew of the ship cast Jonah in the sea to stop the storm which was caused on account of Jonas. Then, the angel YHVH ordered a great fish to swallow Jonah. Jonah 1:17 Now YHVH had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah 2:1 Then Jonah prayed to YHVH his Father Creatorrom the fish’s belly. Contrary to the popular beliefs, Jonah died in the stomach of the fish. For Yahushua to use this sign for his death of 3 days and 3 nights, Jonah had to be dead. Yahushua's resurrection respects perfectly this sign (see 6.4.8.1 Diagram). The fact that Jonah cried from sheol, indeed confirms that he had died. Jonah 2:2
And he said: "I cried out to YHVH because of my 851
affliction, And He answered me. "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice. Finally, the fish rejected and Jonah was resurrected and YHVH ordered him again to his mission. Jonah 2:10 So YHVH spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. Jonah 3:1 Now the word of YHVH came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you." 3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of YHVH. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent. Jonah thus warned the inhabitants of the city of Nineveh to repent otherwise they would be destroyed after 40 days. Jonah 3:4 And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day’s walk. Then he cried out and said, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" Fortunately, they repented and avoided the destruction. Jonah 3:5 So the people of Nineveh believed El, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them We will see below that Jonah's sign concerned not only Nineveh and the messiah, but also Jerusalem and finally the whole world.
11.03.6.1 For Niniveh Jonah received the mission from the angel of YHVH to go to Nineveh to give its inhabitants 40 days to repent. Jonah 3:4 And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day’s walk. Then he cried out and said, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" 5 So the people of Nineveh believed El, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. According to the literal meaning of the above texts, a period of warning of 40 days was given to repent. We must indeed understand that the destruction would 852
be applied after the period of 40 days and not before. Thus, the literal meaning of verse 4 above requires that 40 days are completed before the destruction begins. We have heard interpretations where this concept of the period of repentance is not respected. Thus, the 40 th day must be completed and the beginning of the 41th day would be the beginning of the destruction. This is important to determine the correct times. Fortunately, the inhabitants of Nineveh repented. Luke 11:32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
853
11.03.6.2 For Messiah Jonas's sign was mentioned by Yahushua as being the only sign which would be given to that generation. Matthew 12:39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. In these verses, Yahushua establishes clearly Jonas's sign. Yahushua confirmed that he would remain 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth (in the sepulchre), as Jonah was 3 days and 3 nights in the stomach of the fish. Yahushua confirms the duration of his stay in death at approximately 72 hours (see 5.14 The 1st Death). Some people would argue that Jonah did not die in the fish. Would it be more difficult for a man to survive 3 days under water or to be resurrected after 3 days? Neither one nor the other is difficult for our Father Creator YHVH. The fact that Yahushua compares his stay of 3 days and 3 nights in the sepulchre to that of Jonah in the fish, confirms that Jonah had also died. Yahushua would not have compared his death of 72 hours with Jonah's living in the fish. Yahushua confirmed that he would really be dead for 72 hours, the very proof that he was the messiah. The fact of mentioning 3 days and 3 nights excludes the scenario of a crucifixion on Friday and a resurrection on Sunday because there are not there 3 days and 3 nights. According to the study of days based on the calendar of YHVH, the dead messiah spent approximately 72 hours in the sepulchre. Because of the recent discoveries in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the scenario may be changed as for the days of the week (to see 6.4.8.1 Diagram - His Resurrection).
854
11.03.6.3 For Jerusalem As Nineveh was warned by Jonas to repent before 40 days, Jerusalem also received a warning from Yahushua and John the Baptist. Matthew 3:1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17 From that time Yahushua began to preach, saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Luke 13:2 And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way ? 3 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem ? 5 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” The people of Jerusalem were clearly warned by Yahushua to repent, otherwise they would die. Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. Yahushua confirms that he is greater than Jonah. He could also say that John the Baptist was greater than Jonah. Thus, their warning takes on more authority and consequences than that of Jonah. John the Baptist began his preaching in 26 EC. Yahushua began his ministry from the emprisonnement of John the Baptist and thus has began to preach in 27 EC (see 9.8 The Jubilee of 27 EC and 6.4.01 Diagram - His Ministry). As a consequence, the 41th year began in 68 EC and the destruction could then begun after the term of 40 years. The destruction of a city is not always as sudden as Sodom and Gomore. It can take some years. In fact, in 70 EC, Jerusalem was completely in ruin. This destruction after 40 years corresponds to this concept of Jonah's sign.
855
11.03.6.4 For Humanity Yahushua and John the Baptist warned Jerusalem and its inhabitants to repent. As we saw, they were given 40 years to repent. Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. They did not repent repent and consequently, Jerusalem was destroyed after 40 years. According to the same concept, we could assume that the warning was also given to the whole world. Yahushua personally confronted Satan the prince of this world in the wilderness. Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me. 10 Then Yahushua said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your Creator Father and him only shall you serve.’ ” John 16:11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. Without being absolutely affirmative, it is plausible as well that this concept of warning for repentance could be applied to the whole world. The warning to the world could be then 40 jubilees instead of 40 days or 40 years as the number 40 is symbolically associated with repentance. We can calculate the period of 40 jubilees of 49 years as a total of 1960 years. So, from the jubilee in 27 EC which is the year of the warning, we add the period of repentance of 40 jubilees or 1960 years (see 9.8 The Jubilee of 27 EC). So, we find the end of the 40th jubilee in 1987 EC and the beginning of the 41th jubilee (see 9.9 The Current Years). According to this concept, the destruction of the world system under Satan may begin in 1987. In this Gregorian year of 2015, for some years already, we have seen the media filled with news reporting natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods, drought, forest fires, besides the human tragedies such as famines, AIDS, economic distress, terrorism, ebola, etc. This destruction is gradual but it will become intensified during the next years. According to the calculation of the jubilees of 49 years, the next jubilee would be in 2036 CE. With the current rhythm of events and their intensity, we could easily anticipate the destruction of the satanic world system with the return of Yahushua before this next jubilee of 2036. 856
Yet, according to a possible separation of the eathly calendar from the celestial calendar, there is an accumulated gap of approximately 15 years from the flood year. Thus, the celestial year count may 15 years greater in number (see 9.05 The Celestial Calendar). Thus, the year 2015 CE may well be 2030 CE and the next jubilee could be as early as 2021 CE (2036-15). We don't know these things for sure but we are warned that somehow the years would be shortened. Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
857
11.03.7 The Sufferings For the carnal man, the elect face evident contradictions because on one hand they are to rejoice at the promises of salvation, of prosperity and of eternal happiness from our Father Creator YHVH while on the other hand, they suffer by following the steps of their master Yahushua in the way which leads to the Father Creator because of the enemy's persecution on his body which is the assembly. Romans 8:17 and if children, then heirs — heirs of Creator Father and fellow heirs with Christ [messiah], provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. Among the sufferings of the elect, we can enumerate: - isolation because the brethren are scattered; - persecution by those who do not understand, by the system of the Beast and its wicked puppets; - stigmatization because we are publicly blamed, made separate and\or rejected because of our faiths perceived as going against the cultural standards of the society in which we live; - false accusations which come from everywhere, even from so-called Christians who support human laws and traditions opposed to Father YHVH's perfect laws. 1Thessalonicians 2:14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of Creator Father in Christ [messiah] Yahushua that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, 2Corinthians 1:5 For as we share abundantly in Christ [messiah]’s sufferings, so through Christ [messiah] we share abundantly in comfort too. 6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. 7 Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort. Galatians 3:4 Did you suffer so many things in vain — if indeed it was in vain? 858
Philippians 1:29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ [messiah] you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, Colossiens 1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ [messiah]’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, For the spiritual man, as we have just read, there are thus no contradictions: ' I am delighted in the sufferings ' the apostle Paul says to us. Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love Creator Father all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 1Thessalonicians 5:16 Be always joyful. 2Corinthians 6:10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything. Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] always; again I will say, Rejoice. Matthew 5:12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Luke 10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
859
11.03.8 A New Name There is a concept which is not usually discussed nor even recognized in the socalled Christian circles: to receive a new name. We find this concept in the following verses. Revelation 2:17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’ Revelation 3:12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God [El Father Creator]. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God [El Father Creator], and the name of the city of my God [El Father Creator], the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God [El Father Creator] out of heaven, and my own new name. This concept is confirmed by the necessity to give a new name to a new person. This is officially done at the physical birth of a child. This will also be done officially at the spiritual birth and major change which will take place in a definitive way after the 1st resurrection for the elect, when the new man will be born again. Indeed, the concept of the new man is also established in the Bible with Yahushua who is first in all (see 6.4.11 His Precedence and 6.13 The New Man). Ephesians 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after Father Creator is created in righteousness and true holiness. Colossians 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: If we have the Holy Spirit, we already have in us this new man who grows in knowledge and in grace beside the old man. Already, even if he was not yet been born again, this new man in us may be entitled to possess a new name which is different from the name of the old man. This final new name of the new man will be known definitively after the 1 st resurrection but the old man has lost his spiritual legitimacy because he is considered as dead. The name of the old man 860
was recorded in the civil registers of his nation and thus, he belongs to the civil system civil as a slave. However, through the death of the old man in baptism, the new man is freed from the slavery of the old man by the power of the Father Creator YHVH. Romans 6:6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin. At this time, the slavery from which we are freed from is from sin and not yet totally from this civil slavery system. There is thus a concept which needs to be better understood as to be applied in the life of the elect in this modern world: to leave behind the old man with his former name. The new name in Revelation 2:17 above may apply to the elect before the 1 st resurrection at the time set by the Father Creator. Indeed, why continue to use the name of a dead man when the new man is alive and progressively taking control of the body and the mind of the old man? In effect, the old man is dead or to be set aside as obsolete. Colossians 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ [Yahushua] in Creator Father. Logically, a new name is necessary for the new creature in us, although not born yet. Indeed, the death or disqualification of the old man and the beginning of the spiritual life of the new man, justify a change of name, even if this new name would only be temporary. The implications and the impacts to abandon the old name are enormous in our modern society. Consequently, such a decision must be planned beforehand by every elect according to Father YHVH's will and with His help. Our ultimate deliverance and freedom will be accomplished at the time of leaving this sinful body (1 st death) or at the day of the change that will occur in a winkling (see 5.16.1 The Change in a Winkling).
861
11.03.9 Destruction by Fire The destruction by fire is often mentioned in the Bible. Such a destruction is complete in the case of the physical living beings because it completely eliminates the nature of the beings and reduces them to inert ashes and water vapour: this corresponds to the 1st death (see 5.14 The 1st Death). In nature, the phenomenon of fire corresponds to the combustion of a combustible material with a release of heat (energy) and light. This combustion occurs due to an exposure to a high enough temperature in the presence of oxygen. The combustion of combustible materials changes completely their nature and transforms them into ashes and into gases which rise up into the atmosphere. Combustible materials are thus completely transformed into several other sub-elements without visible usefulness. For example, a dead human body thrown in the fire would be completely cremated and would not be more than ashes and smoke. The water contained in the body thus evaporates as steam into the atmosphere. The spirit is not affected by the physical fire. Certain materials, such as metals do not change nature from the fire and the heat. Depending on the temperatures, solid metals may be liquefied or evaporated but they normally keep their original nature. So by subjecting metals to high temperatures, we can purify them according to specific processes. In simple terms, the high temperature of a fire allows to burn any present combustible materials and remove other metals or noncombustible materials by physical separation based on the different density. And thus we purify precious metals such as gold and silver. The purification of gold and silver is a concept mentioned in the Bible as follows. Zecheriah 13:9 And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, YHVH is my El. Malachy 3:3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to YHVH. In the case of the 2nd death, obviously the physical bodies are destroyed by fire but what happens to the spirit ? According to Revelation, even death, an immaterial concept, is destroyed in the lake of fire. The lake of fire appears literally as a destruction of the spirit because the Bible does not clearly allow to conclude to some other form of life after the lake of fire (see 5.15 The 2 nd Death, 11.7.3 The Lake of Fire and 11.7.4 Gehenna). This concept remains difficult to fully understand.
862
863
11.03.10 Apostasy Apostasy may be understood as being a falling away from knowledge and a rejection of the truth, the biblical doctrines and Father YHVH's laws by a great number of peoples. Apostasy, like ignorance, affects the so-called Christians or believers, the modern Jews and people generally. It is a loss of the truth by people who had believed formerly in the Faith of Yahushua or in certain fundamental truths. It is also the secular world which agrees to believe in lies opposed to the fundamental doctrines of the Bible and to the laws of YHVH, in particular during the last days. 2Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah], and our gathering together unto him; 2 to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] is now present; 3 let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, 4 he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called El or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of Creator Father, setting himself forth as El. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things ? So, apostasy had already begun in the time of Paul but will be more advanced during the last days preceding the advent of Yahushua. The degree of apostasy is not evident because people are not even conscious of the current ignorance, having no clear reference point to judge from. Consequently, it is not a punctual event which may be clearly determined. However, apostasy precedes the man of sin who may be recognized by those who have their eyes opened. Only those who know the Biblical Truths and the laws of YHVH may judge the importance of this apostasy in the world. The introduction of pagan practices, for example, in the social customs of all the nations is an evident indication of the apostasy of the last days by which the only True Creator YHVH is openly rejected with His laws. According to these verses, apostasy will reach its highlight during the last days and apparently just before the return of the messiah Yahushua. Apostasy is not a situation which explodes as a bomb in one second. Apostasy has developed gradually from the first church as we can see in the New Testament. One of the proofs of apostasy would simply be the rejection of the religion which 864
the messiah and his apostles practised. They were essentially Jewish of genetic descent but also spiritual Israelites by their practices of the laws of YHVH, not according to the false modern Judaism but according to the perfect way (see 3. The Perfect Way) How can this apostasy be explained ? The Bible indeed answers this question. Deuteronomy 28:15 But if you do not give ear to the voice of YHVH your El, and take care to do all his orders and his laws which I give you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you: 16 You will be cursed in the town and cursed in the field. 28 He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear: John 12:39 For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again, 40 He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well. 2 Corinthians 4:4 Because the Father Creatorf this world has made blind the minds of those who have not faith, so that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ [messiah Yahushua], who is the image of God [Father Creator], might not be shining on them. It is not only the apostasy which followed the general rebellion but the curses also (see 11.03.6 Sign of Jonas). It is generally recognized that the messiah committed no sin by perfectly obeying to his Healenly Father's commandments. How can we explain that modern Christianity does not adopt in any way the practices of the messiah? It is clear that the Pharisees falsely accused him of breaking the Sabbath with other false accusations. The Pharisees did not observe themselves the laws of YHVH but only their traditions. Mark 7: 8 For laying aside the commandment of Creator Father, you hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things you do. 9 And he said to them, Full well you reject the commandment of Creator Father, that you may keep your own tradition. 865
John 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why go you about to kill me? We thus see that false Judaism already existed in the time of messiah as a false religion. It exists even today with the rabbis. The perfect way which the messiah and his apostles practised corresponded to the commandments of YHVH and not to the traditions of the men. The practices of Yahushua constitute the true religion and the perfect way. In fact, modern Christianity would be simply a form of false religion established by men for profits over men. Those who seriously study the Bible should notice the great difference between the religious practices of the messiah and those of the so-called Christian churches. Apostasy is thus the rejection of the true religion practised by the messiah, our perfect example. The false doctrine of rebellion under grace against the laws of YHVH has invaded modern Christianity. This false doctrine is a part of the apostasy because it asserts that the laws of YHVH are abolished or made void and that disobedience to the laws of YHVH is required or allowed. Under grace, they assert, we may reject the laws of YHVH without penalty and thus continue in sin. Apostasy corresponds to this mentality of disobedience to the laws of YHVH, i.e. to the rebellion promoted by Satan from the garden of Eden. Romans 6:15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Apostasy is thus formed by all the false doctrines and the human laws and traditions which replace the laws of YHVH in the lives of people. Apostasy will inevitably drive people to take the mark of the Beast unless they repent in time (see 11.4.5 The Mark of the Beast). We must also realize that the modern translations of the inpired texts are also a source of false doctrines and confusion among the Bible students and brethren (see 2.2 Translations).
11.03.11 The Protection of the People There is a concept of a protection of the people of YHVH during the great tribulation and through the disasters sent on the earth. As the plagues in Egypt affected only the Egyptians, thus, the disasters will affect only those who reject YHVH and who take the mark of the Beast (see 11.4.5 The Mark of the Beast). Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and 866
shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be over. 21 For, behold, YHVH comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye YHVH, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of YHVH’s anger. Zechariah 12:8 On that day YHVH will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them on that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like El, like the angel of YHVH, going before them. These verses concern the saints who will be protected alive until the return of Yahushua and until the moment of the 1st resurrection after which they will be changed with the resurrected saints. We must distinguish the 144000 saints from the other live saints on the earth but these will be protected (see 11.4.8 The 144000 on the Clouds). Those who are predestined, will know what to do in face of these disasters to be protected. We must consider a wider meaning for the people of YHVH. On the one hand, the people of YHVH are those who obey the laws of YHVH and who possess the Holy Spirit, that is, the church, the body of Yahushua. These individuals come from all nations, from all languages. On the other hand, there are the physical people of YHVH, that is the physical descendants of Jacob, the Israelites who are liiving today, unaware of their origins. A great part have rebelled and were excluded from the church because of their rebellion. However, Father Creator will call them in the last days so that they turn all to Him in repentance. Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; Romans 11:25 Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; 27 “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”

Besides, it is clearly established that human beings in flesh and blood will survive the tribulations of the last days. While we don't know how, we know that Father YHVH will do it and there will be a great number of people surviving in flesh and blood. Zechariah 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, YHVH of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles [tents]. We certainly may include many children [under 20 years] who will be exempted from taking the mark of the beast, being too young for such a legal act. Thus, the children may specially be protected against these disasters, being preserved for the repopulation of the earth during the millenium. It may be that the children of the Kingdom, that is, the non baptised children chosen to repopulate the earth during the millenial kingdom, will be protected during the period of calamities which will fall on the earth. It is certainly against these children that Satan launches his attacks, i.e. to the physical offspring of the woman, the physical Israelites who may obey YHVH's laws. Revelation 12:17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of Father Creator and hold to the testimony of Jesus [Yahushua]. And he stood on the sand of the sea. The rest of her offspring certainly include these children who received the truth and keep the laws of YHVH. Being less than 20 years old, they could not be baptized but they were a part of the perfect plan of YHVH to live during the millenium in flesh and blood. There are other individuals who will be protected alive in flesh and blood because they are judged as having assisted the saints during their persecution. Indeed, Yahushua will judge the individuals remaining alive at the end. In contrast, the enemies of the saints will be judged, killed and cast in a fire to be cremated (see 11.5.12 Death Sentence). Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from 868
the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ There is no rapture of the elect before the return of Yahushua as the so-called Christians teach. A gathering will take place at the 7 th trumpet at the return of Yahushua when he will firstly gather the 144000 saints on the clouds to go later to Zion. The other living saints will be gathered on the last day with the resurrected saints on the clouds with Yahushua and the 144000 saints to be changed together in a twinkling of an eye (see 5.16.1 The Change in a Wink and 11.5.12 The 1st resurrection). We must also admit our ignorance to know which will be our fate among those possibilities. Will we still be alive when Yahushua returns? We cannot know but we may hope in faith that our place will be with Yahushua.

11.1 Passover (1st step) (voir 10.3) In His foreknowledge and His wisdom, even before He began His creation, our Father Creator YHVH knew beforehand all the circumstances and all the choices which His creatures would make. Father YHVH knew that Satan would rebel and that Adam and Eve would also disobey. It is because of the free will which our Father YHVH gave us, that sin was found in His creation and in His creatures (see 11.03.4 Free Will). Father YHVH did not create robots who would know all things and who would not make errors. His plan apparently included a period of learning which was compulsory because of ignorance and thus, the need to learn through our errors (see 11.03.5 The Great Lesson). Father Creator knew that Satan and a number of the angels would rebell. He also knew that Adam and Eve and eventually all humanity would rebell. Therefore, Father YHVH established a means of salvation, even before the foundation or the creation of the world. That means was prepared with His only son Yahushua, also called the Word and the Lamb. 1Peter 1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ [messiah Yahushua], like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for your sake, Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. His son Yahushua would reflect the essence of the Father Creator who is infinite Love. In all the choices and the available means in His imagination, Father YHVH chose a means which would demonstrate this love to a very high degree. This was accomplished in a very simple and obvious way. John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends. Father YHVH sent His only son who gave his life for his friends. Likewise, the Father YHVH's gift of His only son in sacrifice was in the same spirit of love. The Father Creator YHVH and the son Yahushua would demonstrate this love in a clear and remarkable way to us. John 3:16 “For Creator Father so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. The 1st step in the plan of salvation is the atoning sacrifice of Yahushua, the only son of the only True Creator Father YHVH. Romans 5:8 But Creator Father shows his love for us in that while 870
we were still sinners, Christ [messiah Yahushua] died for us. For us who are living in these last days of this evil age, even before we were created and were born, the debt of our sins was already paid! The 1 st step was carried out in the solemnity of Passover in 30 CE. The sins were not completely erased with the old Passover in the old covenant with annual sacrifices of lambs. Now, the sins are definitively forgiven through the blood of the lamb of Father YHVH when we simply accept it. Through this sacrifice of love for his friends, for all humanity and for the demons, Yahushua carried out the perfect will of His Father Creator (see 10.3 Passover). It is through his blood that the only son would redeem the creation of his Father Creator and his own offspring (see 5.6.3 Adamic Procreation and 8.3.1 Redemption).
11.1.1 Grace The Holy Spirit guides us through the laws of Father YHVH in our behavior and in all our relations with others. These laws also include penalties, sometimes extreme, even death. In the Old Testament, these penalties were applied literally, immediately and without mercy. After the sacrifice of Yahushua, grace took precedence over the justice of the law. Yahushua's judgment on the woman caught in adultery is representative of this grace. Indeed, the law required her stoning to death but Yahushua intervened to take on him the judgment of this woman. Yahushua granted this woman the grace which he represented himself. John 8:11 … And Yahushua said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." It is this grace from which we benefit even today and not the rigour of the law. Those who do not repent of their murders and serious abuses, will be executed at the appointed time without mercy according to the law. Today, death penalties are still applied in certain countries and for good reasons. Indeed, certain individuals cannot repent and must be removed from the community for the safety of its inhabitants. However, the period of grace which we enjoy today, will come to an end one day. We find from Revelation that it would be logical to think that it will end because of the ongoing killings by the wicked. Indeed, it will be replaced by the wrath of YHVH, the anger which only the unrepentant wicked will undergo. 871
Grace aims at protecting us from the exact justice, i.e. from the penalty applicable to each of our sins for which the wages is death. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of Creator Father is eternal life in Christ Jesus [Yahushua messiah] our Lord. Grace is not a permission to sin nor an excuse to avoid our personal efforts to stop sinning. Grace is a temporary concept during our times of weakness. Our Father Creator has a plan to make us strong in Spirit so that we will become perfect as our Father Creator YHVH is perfect. Matthew 5:48 "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Those who deliberately use grace to sin, could experience the rigour of the law if they continue to reject this time of grace intended for their salvation and if they continue to rebel in wickedness. Judgment and mercy belong to our Father YHVH who wishes the salvation of all. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord The Lord [Father Creator] is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
11.1.2 The Elect's Calling If we are a part of the elect, we believe and we obey by observing the laws of Father YHVH, being convinced and helped by the Holy Spirit. We do not know this of ourselves but because of a previous election by the Father Creator (see 11.03.1 Predestination). We were called according to our predestination to understand and to accept to obey at the moment in our life when we make this decision. Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. The obedience and the repentance is the sign of the elect who form the spiritual people of YHVH and thus the body of Yahushua the messiah (see 6.4.3 The Body of Yahushua and 11.3.2 The Church). Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Creator Father rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 872
We have now received the understanding that obedience is the only way of living, i.e. because of love and not only from a law imposed by force and under threath. It is through the Holy Spirit that we understand this. We understand that we are under grace, because we cannot obey perfectly yet the Law as imperfect human beings. Grace is given to compensate for our lacks after our sincere efforts of obedience. Grace is not given to cover voluntary disobedience in rebellion. Besides obeying the laws of Father YHVH, we are called to announce the Good News and to teach these Laws in obedience to our Father and Creator YHVH. We do this with all the talents and all the resources which our Father YHVH gives us to carry out His work and His plan. We have published several texts and information in this Internet site which explain in a summary way the will of our Father Creator YHVH, His plan and His laws. We hope that the elect will quickly recognize them It is the Father YHVH alone who calls, not us nor anyone. John 6:44 "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. We can meet with other brethren who are also called like us and elect. It is an enjoyment to meet with other obedient brethren. Also, it is sad to see the rebellion in the world. We cannot convince anyone, no matter how much time and energy we put in, if the person is not called but even more, if he is not chosen. We believe that only the Holy Spirit can convince and convict. In such a case, we believe that only the elect will accept Yahushua's Faith because the Holy Spirit will guide them to obey Father YHVH in all things. The rebels cannot understand or be in agreement with our position without the Holy Spirit. We will simply be persecuted because of our Faith, our obedience and our allegiance to the only True Creator. We are called to refuse to obey laws and human traditions opposed to Father YHVH's laws. The fundamental requirement of the true Faith is to know Father Creator, the only True Creator YHVH and His Son whom He created and sent, Yahushua, called the Christ. An attitude of obedience comes only from the Holy Spirit whereas a spirit of disobedience comes from the very first rebel, Satan. To be baptized, it is beforehand necessary to show fruits of repentance over a period of time evident to the brethren in the Faith. Given that it is not possible to teach on an individual basis, each of the called individuals must do his own studies. Every called individual indeed has to take 873
time himself to read and to search the Holy Scriptures under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Certain persons can accept more easily Father YHVH's laws thanks to the Holy Spirit. However, most of the persons have to unlearn the Babylonian world religion taught by the whole world from the trinitairian church and her daughters. It is necessary to replace these false heathen doctrines with the truth. Only our Father in heaven can do this through His Holy Spirit, before and after baptism. We are and we willl be called an heretical sect simply because we are a small group which teaches the biblical truth, against the popular religions which dominate people. Satan uses human activities with high technology to compile lists of the elect to attack them as he did through all ages, using different means. His system is attempting to find all the true believers and everyone who may look like them. We saw in the Holy Scriptures that he killed many innocent children in an effort to kill Moses and the Messiah in their childhood, but he did not succeed. Through the ages, he was capable of inciting men to do this, in the name of the Creator. They killed our Messiah and his followers for these same reasons. Yahushua taught against the popular dominant religions which had corrupted the teachings of the Bible. He established a small sect, his Body, to accomplish a great work on this planet. Even today, the Body of the Messiah is a small church which is always called a sect. We are not the only ones to believe in Father YHVH and in His son and to assert that we follow the laws of Father YHVH and the Truth. We could suppose that all the groups and the churches believe and claim it also. What is the difference then ? Who can prove that we are wrong ? The difference is in the opinion of our Father YHVH. He knows who is keeping His laws and who does not keep them. He knows the hearts and spirits and nobody can hide anything. Our role now in Father YHVH's plan is according to His election. We do not know where we will be tomorrow, but Father Creator knows everything and He does accomplish all things for His purpose. Nothing is done at random by our Creator YHVH but everything is done in the order in which He planned it in the remote eternity. We may be greatly delighted that we may play a role in the Plan of Father YHVH and see it being accomplished before our eyes. 874
11.1.3 The Atoning Sacrifice Since the first sin in the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve, it had been foreseen that a sacrifice would be done for the atonement and the salvation of all humanity, beginning with the elect (see 11.03.1 Predestination and 11.5.10 The 1st Resurrection). This salvation was done according to the laws of redemption established in the Bible (see 8.3.1 Redemption). 1Peter 1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ [Yahushua], as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Ephesians 1:4 just as He [Father Creator] chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, Thus, the angel of YHVH had already agreed to live as the man Yahushua and to die as the atoning lamb, from the beginning (see 10.3 Passover and 6.4.4 The Pre-existence of Yahushua). Father Creator YHVH knew beforehand that Adam and Eve would disobey and would bring humanity in the great lesson (see 11.03.5 The Great Lesson). It is the perfect example of love and obedience that we received in Yahushua. He gave his perfect life so that we are forgiven from our sins and may receive immortality. This sacrifice is based on the ultimate love of man. This love corresponds to the nature of the Father YHVH who wants to share His nature with His children. 2Timothy 1:9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Yahushua before time began, John 1:29 The next day John saw Yahushua coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God [of Father Creator] who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:36 And looking at Yahushua as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God [of Father Creator]!" Yahushua is possibly not the only individual who gave his life for others. This sacrifice is not the unique element but rather that his life was perfect as a human being without sin. It is this unique perfection which made this acceptable and sufficient sacrifice to cover all the sins of all humanity. Furthermore, Yahushua 875
was the only son of the Father Creator YHVH, a son of great value. The Father YHVH as the Supreme Creator established this condition in His full right and contributed to the success of the mission of Yahushua. This sacrifice constitutes moreover the first stage in the Plan of salvation / creation of YHVH (see 10. YHVH's Solemnities).
876
11.2.0 Unleavened Bread (2nd step) (see 10.4) The prophetic application of this feast is our progressive separation from this modern Babylon and its human laws and traditions until we are totally separated. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a commanded feast of 7 days during which we eat bread without leaven and remove all leaven from our homes. Leaven then is symbolic of sin and false doctrines (see 10.4 Unleavened Bread). This feast is to remind us to remove false doctrines and to replace them with the Truth. To do this, we must study to know the law. At the same time, it is symbolic of our removal from spiritual Egypt and spiritual Babylon where we were slaves of sin and human laws and traditions. Our deliverance is continuing in each of our lives according to Father YHVH's plan (see 11.2.4 Coming out of Babylon). The grace of our Father Creator is not a permission or a means to sin without penalty as some false ministers teach to their detriment. Jude 1:4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our Father Creator into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah]. Romans 6:15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness ? 17 But thanks be to God [Father Creator], that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, Indeed, through grace, we receive salvation without having perfect obedience nor prerequisite perfection. However, having received grace and the knowledge of sin, we are commanded and required to stop sinning and to obey our Creator and Savior Father YHVH. Sanctification is thus required and carried out through repentance and obedience to the perfect laws of our Father Creator. Having received grace for our sins done in ignorance and rebellion, are we going to continue to sin as Paul asks in verse 15 above? Sin is the transgression of the law whereas obedience excludes all rebellion against Father Creator's will. The period of 7 days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread commanded during the 1st month represents our sanctification and separation from sin and false doctrines by the elect. This 7 day feast also represents our coming out of Egypt as the first exodus and is kept also as a memorial of our deliverance (see 10.4.1 15th Day Memorial). 877
1 Corinthians 5:8 Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. The prophetic fulfilment of this feast is our final separation and deliverance from this modern Babylon. As we obey more and more Father YHVH's laws and less and less the human laws and traditions of this modern Babylon, we become spiritually separated from it and from those who give their allegeance to it. Our spiritual growth in knowledge and grace will continue until Babylon is destroyed and we are removed from it physicaly forever. This will happen on the last day when we are changed from mortal to immortal and from corruptible to incorruptible in the twinkling of an eye (see 5.16.1 The Change in a Twinkling and 11.5.1 The Last Day).
878
11.2.1 Sanctification Sanctification is a continous life-long process that leads each one of us to reconciliation (see 11.02 Reconciliation). The term sanctification does not only mean to make holy in character or in kind. The biblical word sanctification also means set apart for a particular usage. For example, a holy day is not different from the other days by its nature or by its intrinsic character. A day is declared holy by the One who has the authority to set apart this day from the other days for His own usage. So, a holy day is a day in which certain activities are commanded and whereas other activities are downright forbidden according to the will of the One who establishes it. For example, the 7th day weekly Sabbath is holy because it is set apart in honor and in remembrance and for the worship of the Only Creator Father YHVH and for our rest (see 10.1 The Sabbath). Exodus 16:23 he said to them, “This is what YHVH has commanded: ‘Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to YHVH; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over lay aside to be kept till the morning.’ ” So, a day dedicated to Father YHVH means being set apart from the other days for the usage of worship of the Only Creator Father YHVH. Exodus 31:15 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to YHVH. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. Physically and intrinsically, the 7th day is identical to the other days except for the usage which is made. The unfaithful rebels are correct in saying that every day is physically identical. However, they reject the command of the Father Creator who set apart this day to identify Himself clearly as the Creator. In the same way, the elect are set apart by the Father Creator for a specific usage in His plan. Yahushua was set apart to represent his Father Creator in all things and to sacrifice his body for the prophesied usage, i.e. to die for the redemption of sinners. For example, we could thus understand that Yahushua in his pre-existence, was an angelic being without intrinsic power nor wisdom except which he received from his Father Creator the unshakeble faith by which he participated in the creation. By perfectly carrying out the will of his Father, Yahushua remained perfect by being in the service of his Father. In this concept, the living beings, human and angelic, are identical except for the usage which they were attributed. 879
Physically, sin causes the death of each living being who disobeys the Father Creator, the same for angels as for men. As such, Adam, created in the image of the El, was physically similar to the angels and like the angels, he would not have died if he had not sinned (see 5.6 Procreation). The angels who sinned have died the 1st death and were condemned to roam on the earth as unclean spirits in wait for the judgment of the Great Day of Addition (see 5.14 The 1 st Death and 11.7 The Great Day of Addition). They left the usage for which they were intended. Jude 1:6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day — In the verse above, we understand that these angels disobeyed by making use of their body, of their capacity and of their potential outside of the instructions of the Father Creator. Among others, the fornication with the human women was obviously forbidden for the angels, being a forbidden use of their physical body. Sanctification thus is more related to the activities of a person than his intrinsic physical nature. Sanctification involves modifying our behavior so as to devote ourselves more to dedicated activities in the service of the Father Creator. Saints are not those who have the smell of holiness only but who act according to the will of the Father Creator. Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Hebrew 10:7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O Father Creator, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’ ” 8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] once for all. 880
We were redeemed through this sacrifice of Yahushua to be separated from this evil system. It is by our activities that we are judged. Idolatry is present in all this world at all levels. Those who are part of this world are expected to follow the unjust human laws and traditions of this world. All are incited into keeping the worldly feast days which are tinted with idolatry and paganism. By being set apart through this process of sanctification, we should gradually manage to do the will of the Father Creator YHVH more and more. We should already observe the annual solemnities commanded by our Father Creator. By doing so, we are already separated from the world by acting differently from the world and doing the will of the Father Creator YHVH. There is great danger in these last days where the world may be led to do Satan's will, just like the pharisees did the will of their father the devil. John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Seeing the whole world (or most of it) rejecting the laws of the Father Creator and observing pagan traditions, it becomes evident that Satan infected all humanity in his madness except those that the Father has redeemed or is redeeming. Sanctification is thus applied to the elect of the Father Creator whom He called and chose for His particular purpose. It is the Father Creator who decided to set apart individuals to participate in His plan of salvation. Sanctification is associated then strictly with the separation of the individuals from this present evil world. 2 Corinthians 6:17 Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord [2962 kurios], and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; The verses above are based on old testament scriptures where Father Creator YHVH asked Israel to separate from the other pagan nations and not to do the same pagan practices.
881
Isaiah 52:11 Depart, depart, go out from there; touch no unclean thing; go out from the midst of her; purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels of YHVH! Jeremiah 51:6 “Flee from the midst of Babylon; let every one save his life! Be not cut off in her punishment, for this is the time of YHVH’s vengeance, the repayment he is rendering her. We thus must stop imitating the people from this world who reject the laws of the Father Creator but we must imitate the one who perfectly obeyed his Father as our perfect example, Yahushua the messiah. John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. Our sanctification is done through the Word who is our guide. Through Yahushua's sanctification, we are called to become perfect children of our Father Creator in the resurrection (see 5.16 Born again). Yahushua acted as the perfect obedient son of his Father. John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. The word is the truth which is given to us in the inspired Scriptures, the Bible, the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, etc. It is only Father Creator who can open our eyes to receive it and our heart to accept this truth and who gives us the Holy Spirit to discern it. It is the promise which we received from the Father Creator. Ezekiel 36:26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. 28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God [Ulhim]. Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares YHVH: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their El, and they shall be my people. We find in the biblical stories the sanctification which the people had to receive 882
before celebrating Passover. The following verses are a corrected version showing that the sanctification began on the intercalary day, that is, before the 1st day of the 1st month and the same in the 7 th month (see 2.6 Difficult Verses Eze. 40:20). Ezekiel 45:18 “Thus says YHVH: [The day] before [intercalary day], the first day of the month, you shall take a bull from the herd without blemish, and purify the sanctuary. 19 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and the posts of the gate of the inner court. 20 You shall do the same on the seventh month for anyone who has sinned through error or ignorance; so you shall make atonement for the temple. We find in Ezekiel 45:18-20 that the sanctification of the sanctuary began on the 1st intercalary day of the year (that is the day before the 1 st day of the 1st month) and on the 3rd intercalary day (the day before the 7 th month) for the people (see Difficult Verses 2.6.1 Eze. 45:20). The period of sanctification would be 22 days, that is, from the intercalary day to the end of the feast on the 21st day of the month. Thus, according to Ezekiel 45:20, we have 2 periods of sanctification, that is, during the 1 st month fro the sanctuary and also during the 7th month for the people in which most of the solemnities are commanded. The sanctuary may include the elect who are the temple of the Holy Spirit. These 2 sanctification periods correspond to the 2 most important seasons in Father YHVH's calendar when important events will take place in the last days according to prophecies.
11.2.2 Baptism The Bible is clear and shows many examples of adult men and women who were baptized in total immersion to demonstrate their acceptance of true Faith, as well as their repentance and their commitment as soldiers of Father YHVH under Yahushua the messiah. Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] 883
for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of Creator Father and the name of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah], both men and women were baptized. We still have the perfect example of Yahushua the messiah who asked John the Baptist to baptize him. Matthew 3:13 Then Yahushua came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?" 15 But Yahushua answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him. 16 When He had been baptized, Yahushua came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of Creator Father descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. The Baptism requirement is a part of the essential Holy Doctrines for salvation (see 3. The Perfect Way). Although it seems to be limited to a simple ritual, it is a part of the process of sanctification which Father YHVH has determined. Baptism is secondary to the receipt of the Holy Spirit which is usually received after Baptism by the laying on of hands. Of all the elements of salvation, it is the reception of the Holy Spirit which is most fundamental (see 7.8 The Holy Spirit). It was after his baptism that Yahushua received the deposit of immortality because he did not have it before. Yahushua is the way and the perfect example for us. The Bible clearly confirms to us that Baptism must be made in the name of Yahushua who also bore the name of his Father YHVH. The name YHVH is translated as LORD in the modern translations (see 2.2.1.2 The Name Lord). Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of Creator Father and the name of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah], both men and women were baptized. Acts 8:16 For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had 884
only been baptized in the name of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] Yahushua. Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH]. Then they asked him to stay a few days. Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] Yahushua. Acts 22:16 ‘And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH].’ 1Corinthians 1:13 is Christ [Yahushua] divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Thus, it is confirmed that the name of Yahushua is the only name for salvation and he also bears his Father YHVH's name. This is Father YHVH's choice. Acts 4:11 "This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." We must do everything in the name of Yahushua which is literaly YHVH saves (see 2.2.1 Biblical Names). Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] Yahushua, giving thanks to God [El] the Father through Him. We must even pray only to the Father YHVH but in the name of Yahushua. John 16:26 "In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; James 5:14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH]. Generally, the Holy Spirit is granted after the baptism of water (v.38 above). The Holy Spirit is granted to one who repents, directly by Father YHVH and not by the man who baptizes. Incidentally, we find nowhere in the Bible women who 885
baptize men. According to Father YHVH's laws, the women are excluded as ministers over men. The law clearly establishes the roles of men and women in the body of believers, the church. We can also see cases where the Holy Spirit had been given even before the baptism of water was done. Furthermore, although having already received the Holy Spirit, these persons must be baptized all the same in water by obligation. Acts 10:47 "Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?" 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH]. Then they asked him to stay a few days. The children are excluded from baptism as long as they are not adults. Indeed, adulthood is fixed by Father YHVH's laws at 20 years old for the census intended for war. We did not even count the women and the children in the national census but only men to serve in the army. Children are clearly kept away from service in the army. Exodus 30:14 "Everyone included among those who are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the LORD (YHVH). Exodus 12:37 Then the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children. We see clearly that the men are counted from the age of 20 years old. The purpose of the census was essentially for the purpose of the war in the old testament. In the new testament, by his baptism, the disciple also undertakes as a soldier in a spiritual and physical war. The war is physical also by the fact that the enemies persecute and try to kill the disciples as they killed messiah. As a consequence, the children cannot be baptized before being adults. Although we do not read directly such a ban in the Bible, baptism of children is excluded from Father YHVH's laws who place the children under the whole custody of the parents. Galatians 4:1 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. What we see in the Bible, are adults who are baptized in the Jordan by John the Baptist. Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things 886
concerning the kingdom of Creator Father and the name of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah], both men and women were baptized. Matthew 3:5 Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him 6 and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. Mark 1:5 Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
Any baptism by sprinkling is not a baptism according to the biblical prescriptions. John the Baptist baptized in the Jordan, a river which allowed such an immersion. The children are not baptized before being adult but they are set apart according to the plan of Father YHVH. 1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. The word holy means set apart, separated for a specific usage. However, they are not considered as being baptized by the only fact of the baptism of their parents. So, the children are not allowed at the ceremony of Yahushua's Passover. The commitment of Baptism is not an admission ticket to salvation without any actions nor efforts nor changes as some seem to believe. Baptism includes a commitment in the obedience and the observance of the Holy Doctrines. This commitment corresponds to a life of repentance, service, change and obedience to Father YHVH's laws. In the world, there are millions of individuals who were baptized but who continue their life according to this world and the false religions and the false so-called Christian doctrines. The so-called Christianity which encourages rebellion in rejecting Father YHVH's laws is false. If anybody is alone, what can he do ? He cannot baptize himself. Then, as all believers, he should ask and trust our Father YHVH that He will send somebody in his life to baptize him according to the plan of salvation. As He did with Cornelius, Father YHVH can grant His Holy Spirit before being baptized. We cannot judge concerning the salvation of any one but only Father YHVH can decide on it, when and how. For example, the criminal next to Yahushua on the stake, believed in him and received salvation, apparently without a water baptism. These judgments belong to the only True Creator Father YHVH. 887
888
11.2.3 The Baptism Ceremony The baptism should be carried out according to biblical prescriptions to be valid. However, certain baptisms are made according to different practices which are not always clearly biblical. The validity of a baptism is subject only to the Father YHVH's judgment. Only the individual in question can decide to redo his baptism according to his conscience because that is his concern. Among the biblical requirements for baptism, we can mention the following ones: 1) The baptized individual (man or woman) must be an adult of 20 years old and more 2) The individual already must know Father YHVH's laws in sumary and have begun to repent and to change 3) The individual must know YHVH's true calendar and keep the Sabbath, solemnities and Holy Days 4) The baptized individual already must believe in Yahushua 5) The baptism is a total immersion under water, 6) The baptism must be done by a converted adult man 7) The individual must be baptized in the name of Yahushua which means YHVH saves, the messiah, called also the Christ Acts 4:11 This Yahushua is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Here is only an example of a procedure for baptism: 1) The candidate and the baptizer must stand in the water in sufficient depth to perform complete immersion. 2) The candidate then must cross his arms on his chest and pinch his nose. The baptizer places a hand in the back of the candidate and the other hand on the forearm of the candidate for complete support. 3) The baptizer pronounces words similar to the following ones: I baptize you now in the name of Yahushua YHVH, the messiah called the Christ, the only born son of the Father YHVH Supreme Creator. I baptize you in the body of Yahushua which is the church of the Only Father Creator and not in any human association or sect or any human contrivance. 4) The candidate is warned to take his breath and to close his eyes and month. He is lowered under the water in full immersion face upward for a few seconds.
889
5) When the candidate stands up in the water, the baptizer imposes his hands on the head of the candidate and pronounces words similar to the following : 6) I have baptized you in the water according to the prescriptions of the Law of the Father YHVH. I now pray Father YHVH to grant you His Holy Spirit, in the name of Yahushua YHVH, the messiah. Amen. 7) As a member of the body of Yahushua, the messiah, that is, as a member of the true church, you are now baptized and have undertaken to obey our Father YHVH, the Supreme Creator through His son Yahushua by the power of the Holy Spirit.

11.2.4 Coming out of Babylon In the past, the people of Israel were sent to captivity in Babylon because of their sins and rebellion against their Father Creator YHVH. They had to stay there for a long time. It is where we are still today, in captivity in a foreign land. Jeremiah 29:28 For he has sent to us in Babylon saying, The time will be long: go on building houses and living in them, and planting gardens and using the fruit of them. The Feast of Unleavened Bread spiritually represents our repentance from sin (transgression of YHVH's laws) and our separation from the false doctrines of modern Babylon (see 10.4 Unleavened Bread). The yeast that we remove from our homes symbolically represents our sins and the false doctrines and the false teachings of this world which we must cease to observe. Matthew 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. Father Creator YHVH wrote a long time ago this command for His people to come out of Babylon. However, this command was prophetic for the last days in which we now live. Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 2Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Jeremiah 51:45 My people, go out from her, and let every man get away safe from the burning wrath of the Lord. What does this command mean exactly? It was not addressed only to the ancient people of Israel since they were to stay in Babylon a long time. It is addressed at His actual people in the last days. Is Babylon only a geographical location which we must leave to come out of it or is it the political and religious system which we must cease to follow? As it was asserted in this work many times, the modern 891
Babylon is the present system of human laws and traditions opposed to Father Creator's laws. The current Babylonian system is constituted of the human laws which would govern all human activities on earth: the economy, medicine, pharmacology, politics, sports and even the religions. Even the religions are controlled by the state as long as they are registered with the state and agree to observe the state laws, even to the detriment of Father Creator's laws. It goes without saying that the true disciples of Christ Yahushua, the elect, do not register their association or meetings in the registers of the state to be accountable to it or submit themselves to its rules of control. The elect meet together on a personal and confidential basis outside the control of the state. Already, the elect have begun spiritually to come out of the control of Babylon. It is the spiritual aspect which is the guiding principle of the meaning of the term to come out of Babylon. According to Revelation 18:4 above, we must not participate in the sins of modern Babylon to not suffer also of its plagues. There is in this command an important distinction to make. We must not participate actively in any activities to willingly support the operations of this Babylon, that is, in the promotion of its human laws or the allegiance to this system. We must denounce this Babylon for what it is to all those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Like our master Yahushua the messiah, we do not oppose directly the system which is now in place but rather to live outside of the system as much as possible. Indeed, Yahushua has never opposed the political system in authority but he did not adhere to it. In the case where we have a real opportunity to not pay taxes as to not participate in the wicked activities of the Beast, we may apply that choice but also suffer its consequences. The same concept will be applied when we refuse to take the mark of the Beast. Yahushua came into opposition with the religious Jews in authority because he was teaching the Truth and they wanted to prevent him by killing him. Like our master Yahushua, we also come into opposition with the religious authorities when they reject Father YHVH's laws and try to impose on us their man made religious laws.
We live in this system of civil and financial slavery because of our sins (see 8.1.6 The slavery due to Sin). A slave cannot free himself alone but he needs an outside help who can pay redemption price or who can free him by force. It is exactly what has happened in the deliverance from Egypt of the people of Israel. It is by the power and the miracles of Father YHVH that the Pharaoh was forced to let the people go. Also, as the elect, we are waiting for the strong hand of our liberator to come out once and for all from this modern Babylon. While waiting for this final deliverance, individually, we must part from false doctrines of the present system by rejecting them and by adopting the true 892
doctrines of our Father Creator YHVH. By living according to the true doctrines and by obeying the laws of Father YHVH, we are spiritually coming out of Babylon and we do not participate any more in her sins. Concerning our activities in this world, we must work physically to earn our daily bread outside of the activities of the current system. We must refuse to support the system by working in it directly in political and governmental activities. So, we should not participate actively in any activity which maintains the Babylonian system in operation. The fact that the system takes from us taxes in diverse illegal manners, does not constitute an active participation on our part. These excessive taxes are another consequence of our rejection of Father Creator YHVH and His laws (see 1Samuel 8:10-21). Today, we are in this slavery system where we pay many taxes as they simply take our earned money without our permission. Only when Father Creator YHVH will intervene, will we be freed from this slavery. This final and ultimate deliverance was prophetied to be achieved at the end of this age when this Babylon will be completely destroyed (see 11.5.5 Destruction of Babylon). We are joint heirs but we shall receive our inheritance only after the 1st resurrection. Galatians 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; As long as we are in this body of flesh and blood, we cannot inherit, nor see, nor enter Father Creator's kingdom. We can only adhere and live according to its laws during our training and our growth while waiting for its implementation on earth. 1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Creator Father; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. We are ambassadors of the coming kingdom and we may certainly benefit from being a part of it in embryo at this time. 2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though Creator Father did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to Creator Father. Although spiritually freed, we may still be in physical slavery like Paul who was in physical bonds and yet, was able to represent the Good News. Ephesians 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

11.3 Feast of Weeks (Pentacost) (3rd step) The Feast of Weeks is translated as Pentacost in the modern translations (see 10.6 Feast of Weeks). The sanctification of human beings through repentance and grace is a preparation for the steps to follow. The marriage of the Lamb is the end result of that sanctification. Repentance implies a renewal of obedience and respect towards the future husband by his bride as a mark and a precondition of the holiness of the marriage which will follow. Baptism then follows this repentance. Revelation 19:7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; 8 it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure” — Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ [Yahushua messiah] loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The gift of the Holy Spirit is in a sense the procreation of the wife that will enter in the covenant of marriage with her husband when she has become an adult (see 5.6 Procreation, 5.6.3 The Spiritual Process and 7.14 His Reproduction). After the 1st resurrection, the wife will be born again as an adult woman to be married to her husband. His wife will comprise all the elect who formed the body of Yahushua through all times as he was in fact, the biological father of Adam, and thus, of all humanity (see 5.6.2 Adamic Procreation). Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Adam exclaimed the same words when he saw Eve, his new wife. Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Baptism is our agreement to enter this new covenant which is offered to us. Baptism is our voluntary and visible initial participation. After our former life of sin, a new spiritual life is granted to us through the gift of the Holy Spirit by the 895
Father Creator (see 7.8 His Holy Spirit). This step of the plan of salvation was begun in the year 30 CE to form the new extended body of Yahushua, his church. It will continue to add members to this body until the last day. Contrary to certain human associations, the Feast of Weeks is not a harvest but it is part of a continuous process of spiritual procreation which is the spiritual reproduction of the new immortal creation of the Father Creator. Acts 2:17 ‘And in the last days it shall be, God (Father Creator) declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; 18 yea, and on my menservants and my maidservants in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. As the above verse clearly says, the Feast of Weeks is not a resurrection but the sowing of the deposit of immortal life through the Holy Spirit. For those having the Holy Spirit in this age, the harvest will take place after the 1 st resurrection on the last day, on the Day of Atonement, at the change in the twinkling of an eye from mortal to immortal (see 5.16.1 The Change and 11.5 The Day of Atonement). For those receiving the Holy Spirit during the millenium, the harvest will be after the 2nd resurrection.
896
11.3.1 The New Covenant While the new covenant was established at Yahushua's atoning sacrifice through his blood, its actual realization began at the Feast of Weeks in 30 CE when the Holy Spirit was given to the elect present. We find the mention of the new covenant as much in the New Testament as in the Old testament (see 3.2 The New Covenant). We also could call it the renewed covenant. Yahushua links the new covenant with the cup representing his blood at Passover with his disciples (see 10.3.3 Passover in the New Covenant). Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. Hebrew 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. The promises were made not only by the messiah Yahushua in his human flesh but also in his pre-existence in his office of angel such as reported through the prophets (see 6.4.4 The Preexistence of Yahushua). We find in the inspired writings the promise of the new covenant which would be implemented during the last days. Jeremiah 31:31 "Behold, the days are coming, says YHVH, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—.... 33 "But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says YHVH: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their El, and they shall be My people. Ezekiel 36:26 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 "I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. 28 "Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your El. What Yahushua had promised and what was prophesied by the prophets came true 50 days after the resurrection of Yahushua. On that day of the Feast of Weeks called Pentecost, Peter confirms the beginning of the fulfillment of the new prophesied covenant where the Spirit was poured on the disciples with great signs to form his church. Acts 2:16 "But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 897
‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God [Creator Father], That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. By speaking thus about the prophet Joel, Peter confirms that the establishment of the new covenant was begun at that Feast of weeks (Pentecost) and was not strictly reserved for the future days during the millenium. In addition, we note that there will be women as well as men prophesying. Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. The expression all flesh in verse 28 above does not stricly mean all living beings without exception simultaneously. The meaning of all flesh including all living beings without exception will be carried out gradually in Father YHVH's plan. Obviously, the narrative of that Feast of Weeks does not include all flesh nor even all people present at this Feast of Weeks. Those who received the Holy Spirit on that day of the Feast of Weeks were those who had received the promise of the Father YHVH. By waiting, as instructed by Yahushua and staying in Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit was received through obedience. Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; What is this new covenant ? Human sects and so-called Christian associations assert that the new covenant is the abolition of the laws of the old testament. These people assert that all which is old must be abolished to be replaced by the new. This doctrine is false if it rejects the laws of Father YHVH, which would essentially constitute a complete rebellion against the only True Creator Father YHVH (see 8.1 The Call to Obedience). By carefuly reading the verses above, the following points can be deduced: 1) This new covenant concerns not only the house of Israel and the house of Judah who both will be reunited, but also the rest of humanity because Father YHVH makes exception of no one (Acts 10:34). 2) These are the biblical laws of Father YHVH which are written and not any human laws and traditions (see 8. YHVH's Laws) 3) These laws of Father YHVH are written in the hearts and spirits of human 898
beings 4) the Holy Spirit will be granted to men to allow them to obey the spirit of the law and not only to the letter We should consider that it is the covenant which is new and not the laws of Father YHVH. For example, we should note that in the old covenant, the laws were written on tables of stones and given to Israel by the angel of YHVH through Moses. These tables of stones were outside the individuals and thus far from their natural thoughts. In the new covenant, the laws are written in the spirits and in the hearts of the individuals, which is the essential condition of obedience to our Father YHVH. Since this famous Feast of Weeks, men and women have received the Holy Spirit and have begun to keep Father YHVH's laws such as promised in Ezekiel 36:26 above. This New Covenant is thus the beginning of a new process of conversion of humanity (see 5.6.4 The Spiritual Process). Yahushua, coming from Juda's tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel, is the first fruit of the new covenant and in fact, of the new creation. As the rest of Father YHVH's plan, the new covenant begins with Israel but it will be extended to all humanity. Paul reveals that the Gentiles would have access to the new covenant before many Israelites who refused to believe. Romans 11:25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. The choice of 12 disciples of Yahushua confirms the prophecies concerning this new covenant for Israel. In the book of Revelation, the concept of 144000 elect from the 12 tribes of Israel taken alive at Yahushua's return confirms the basis of the kingdom of Father YHVH (see 11.4.8 The 144000 on Clouds). But this does not exclude the other individuals of the other nations who are added to the tribes of Israel over time, as Paul revealed above. This new covenant will obviously be displayed in a more complete way over time. For example, verse 28 below announces the restoring of the people of Israel in the promised land. Ezekiel 36:28 "Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your El. When will it be completely carried out? After the verse above, Ezekiel continues to describe an extraordinary event which confirms the establishment of Israel in the promised land: the resurrection of the dry bones. Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of YHVH came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of YHVH, and set me down in the midst of the valley; 899
and it was full of bones. 9 Also He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live."’" 11 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 14 "I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, YHVH, have spoken it and performed it," says YHVH.’" The above verses describe how the new covenant will be carried out in the millineum, which began at the Feast of Weeks in the year 30 CE. This is completely different from the contemporary immigration of so-called Jews to the country of modern Israel. The implications of this new covenant concerns all the plan of salvation / creation of the Father Creator. That is why the new covenant is the basis of this work.
11.3.2 The Church In the New testament Scriptures, the word church is translated from the Greek word 1577 ekklesia or assembly or grouping of people called out and set apart by the Father Creator YHVH. It is at the Feast of Weeks (called Pentecost) in the year 30 CE that the church of the new covenant in Yahushua began. The true church is the extended physical body of Yahushua on this earth formed by all the elect, i.e. those who were baptized, have the Holy Spirit in them and are obedient to the only True Father Creator YHVH. These are the saints subjected to Yahushua, the leader and the head of the church which is his body (see 6.4.9 The Body of Yahushua). Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ [messiah Yahushua] is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; 1Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is Creator Father. 900
Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Colossians 1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ [messiah Yahushua] in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church; Ephesians 1:22 and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, The elect are thus submitted to Yahushua and not to any man in regard to faith and to conscience. We are the temple where dwells the holy Spirit. 1Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are a temple of Creator Father, and that the Spirit of Father Creator dwells in you? The church is constituted by those who belong to Yahushua regardless of any registered human associations. Romans 8:9 You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of Creator Father is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his. We must understand that we are the church as the physical body of Yahushua. We may gather with other elect to observe the laws of YHVH and if possible, observe the solemnities together. So, the church is simply represented by the saints, that is, those who obey Father Creator YHVH's commands (see 8.1.0 The Call to Obedience). This is the way the church may be identified. 1John 3:24 And he that keeps his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he stays in us, by the Spirit which he has given us. 1John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of Creator Father, when we love Creator Father, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of Creator Father, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Creator Father, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ [Yeoshua messiah]. Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of Creator Father, and the faith of 901
Yahushua. In truth and in contrast to human associations, the names of the elect are written in heaven, in the book of life and not in a register of an earthly human association.
Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it ... but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Philippians 4:3 And I entreat you also, true yoke fellow, help those women which labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow laborers, whose names are in the book of life. Revelation 3:5 He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. The church is not a building nor a corporation nor an association legally registered in the human governments and submitted to the human laws and traditions. Naturally, new believers may look for the true church in a distinct human association. Some are convinced that it still exists today on this planet as a human association. Indeed, Yahushua confirmed that his church would never be destroyed and that it would be here at his return. However, contrary to the human dictators of this world, it is not legally registered in the human governmental systems. Matthew 16:18 And I say also to you, That you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Thus, it is not necessary nor required for anyone to be part of a human church nor an official human association to choose to live according to the superior laws of love and to obey Father YHVH's laws. It is even disadvised to do so because any human association is a trap and a type of intellectual and psychological slavery. We can, and even, we must implement these perfect laws in our lives independently from any so-called religious human influences. In fact, as it has 902
been demonstrated from millenniums, such human associations, even while beginning on a good note, are infiltrated by the corrupted human nature and by the enemies of the people. These registered associations are forced by the human authorities to violate the laws of Father Creator. They are gradually corrupted, so that they finally incite people in error and in the human laws and traditions opposed to the laws of the Creator Father YHVH (see 7.10 His Laws). One of the indications of the true church is that it is small in number. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Conversely, any church or association which gathers followers in large number, may be disqualified automatically. In fact, even the 144000 elect are not present together in a human association but they are scattered through out the planet and thus, they do not even know each other. The structure of the first church described originally is not applicable nor necessary nor useful today because the elect are scattered in all places of the world. Jeremiah 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, said YHVH; for I am married to you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: The true structured original church which was localised around the apostles, was gradually chased away by trinitarian dictators such as Constantine, by catholic inquisitors and by many others who taught false doctrines, slowly but certainly. In fact, the true believers were killed or hunted down, through the years, by trinitarians and other spiritual dictators inspired by Satan and his devils. The great trinitarian church has a structure which may look like the antique true initial church. Millions are deceived by this structure found with a great number of followers while the doctrines are false. Sadly, some were indoctrinated and are captive of great associations who may be social clubs but not the true original church. Dictators, under the disguise of sheep of pious appearance, are in fact wolves which want to force people to believe what they say, contrary to the inspired writings to keep the people far from the Truth and to grow rich with their tithes and offerings. Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. True ministers, bishops, apostles, prophets, doctors, clergymen, etc. are humble servants who do not ask tithes and offerings from their brethren. Luke 22:25 And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority on them are called benefactors. 26 But you shall not be so: but he that is 903
greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that does serve. 27 For whether is greater, he that sits at meat, or he that serves? is not he that sits at meat? but I am among you as he that serves. We must be careful with men who appear as leaders of religious associations. There are several churches of this kind where the members must observe all the human laws and traditions but only one of the laws of YHVH, namely the law of the tithe. What trickery! Their rejection of Father Creator's laws reveals their lack of love for Him, His laws and the Truth. Indeed, if they had love for Father YHVH and his son, it would be obvious by their obedience. John 14:15
If you love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Yahushua confirmed the law of tithing when the temple was still in function in his days. Yahushua confirmed it in his time but he also exhorted to apply love and mercy. Matthew 23:23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Yahushua reprimanded the scribes and Pharisees because they tithed in spectacle without applying the other requirements of the laws of Father YHVH and mercy. After the destruction of Jerusalem and the old temple, the unfit priesthood was rejected et the laws of tithing and animal sacrifices have been suspended until the millenium (see 8.8.2 Tithing and Offerings and 8.3 Sacrificial Laws). The elect ask no tithing of anyone nor pay tithing to no one. They offer their lives as living sacrifices which is more than 10% required in the law. The elect may share inspired teachings free of charge and freely for the love of the truth and for the love of the brethren. It is always encouraging to meet other individuals who agree to live according to the truth of the inspired writings. Yahushua takes care of his sheep from the beginning and he who will gather them at the appropriate time. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My 904
Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. Each one of us is predestined since the foundation of the world to be part of the body of Yahushua or not, i.e. in the 1 st resurrection or in the 2nd resurrection (see 11.03.1 Predestination). Romans 8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren: 30 and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah] to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will:
The judgment against the false ministers In the last days, YHVH will remove the ministers because they have all deceived the sheep for their selfish pleasures and self-interests. Thus, the sheep will be placed in difficult situations to be tried between themselves and so that they demonstrate their true love. We have one shepherd only, Yahushua the messiah et the others are imposters. Between brethren, we must help each other and encourage each other to continue in obedience. Zechariah 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me. 16 For, see, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that stands still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. 17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaves the flock! the sword shall be on his arm, and on his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. Ezekiel 34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, Thus said YHVH to the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 905
Ezekiel 34:17 And as for you, O my flock, thus said YHVH; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats. 18 Seems it a small thing to you to have eaten up the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet? 19 And as for my flock, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet. 20 Therefore thus said YHVH to them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 21 Because you have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad; 22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. 24 And I YHVH will be their El, and my servant David a prince among them; I YHVH have spoken it. According to these verses, the resurrected king David will be established soon again on the people of Israel as shepherd while Yahushua will be king of the earth. In the meantime, the sheep must help each other, free of false ministers and each must study and grow in the knowledge and grace of Yahushua who is our head through the Holy Spirit. The elect must not be subjected to human dictators who appear as angels of light or as sheep. Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. The Church of the new covenant There is a new covenant where men do not need to learn any more because all will know the truth and Father YHVH's laws. This covenant has begun and will be extended to all the people of Israel during the millenium. Hebrew 8:10 But here is the alliance which I shall make with the house of Israel, After these days, says the Lord: I shall put my laws in their spirit, I shall write them in the heart; and I shall be their Creator Father, And they will be my people. 11 Nobody will teach more his fellow countryman, Or any his brother, by saying: know the Lord! Because all will know me, Since the smallest until the biggest of them; This new covenant began at Feast of Weeks in the year 30 CE where the Holy Spirit was granted to the elect. It is indeed the covenant of which the elect are a part through which our Father YHVH writes His laws in our heart and our spirit. However, this knowledge is gradually acquired and requires time. This explains the numerous differences in doctrines between brethren and such important gaps concerning the calendar. Indeed, it is very logical and essential that all elect know and keep Father YHVH's true solemnities. We can expect a reunification of 906
the brethren under the same calendar soon, possibly with the 2 witnesses who will reveal the true calendar. That is why the brethren in the Faith of Yahushua should meet on a basis of equal authority and that nobody imposes his beliefs on the others to impose incoherent views. This is a blatant problem spread in all the earth in the so-called Christian churches. Indeed, human associations impose their particular beliefs in exchange for membership in this association, as if salvation depended on this membership. If the brethren can fellowship in harmony, it is because they agree on the Essential Doctrines, required for salvation (see 3.1 The Essential Doctrines). The minor differences of understanding should be tolerated between brethren, however, without arguing constantly over these same differences. We should rather look for the fundamental truths which unite us in Yahushua, our leader. When men put themselves in authority as minister, leader, pope, general coordinator, etc., they substitute themselves to Yahushua, the true leader. Is this not a serious insult to the authority of Yahushua? The fruits will reveal the truth. The human nature is the enemy of Father YHVH. Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against Creator Father: for it is not subject to the law of Creator Father, neither indeed can be. Whoever will really want to serve Yahushua, will really have to serve the brethren and not impose on them his beliefs, but allow freedom, without constraint nor threat of eviction as do the human associations who take a place as judges of men. James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brothers. He that speaks evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law, and judges the law: but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge. Matthew 7:1 do not judge, so that you are not judged. 2 Because we shall judge you the judgment which you judge, and we shall measure you with the measure of which you measure. There is only one judge, only one leader: the man Yahushua who is under Father Creator YHVH the Supreme Master. John 5:22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son: John 5:27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. John 5:30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me. 907
The mission of the Church every individual will be called, either to obey freely to the only True Father Creator YHVH and His Laws, or through threats or fraud, to obey men and their personal beliefs. The elect are thus subjected to Yahushua and not to any man in regard to the Faith and to conscience. We are the temple of Father YHVH, i.e. the temple where His Holy Spirit lives if we are chosen and baptized according to the biblical instructions. 1 Corinthians 3:16 Know you not that you are the temple of Creator Father, and that the Spirit of Creator Father dwells in you? The church includes those who belong to Yahushua without respect to the registered human associations. Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of Creator Father dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ [messiah Yahushua], he is none of his. It is necessary to understand that we are the church as the body of Yahushua. We can fellowship with other elect to keep Father YHVH's laws and if possible to keep the feasts together. Dictators under the disguise of lambs, are wolves of pious appearance who want to force people to believe what they say, contrary to the Bible and to steal their tithes. Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Trully, these false ministers are abusive dictators who apply the laws of tithes to fleece the sheep. A true minister, a true 'bishop', apostle, prophet, doctor, Minister, clergyman, etc. is a humble servant and not an imperious dictator. Luke 22:25 And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority on them are called benefactors. 26 But you shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that does serve. 27 For whether is greater, he that sits at meat, or he that serves? is not he that sits at meat? but I am among you as he that serves. It is through the adversities that we move forward in the Faith. We can look for help through other elect who also look for help. The help comes from Father YHVH only. The command to the servants of Father YHVH is clear, we work by doing the business of our Father YHVH. 908
John 5:17 But Yahushua answered them, My Father works till now, and I work. Luke 2:49 And he said to them, How is it that you sought me? know you not that I must be about my Father’s business?
We must take care of our Father YHVH's business. It is Him alone who will guide us in His work, in His plan, in His laws, through the Holy Spirit and all the circumstances of life. It is our predestination. We should be announcing the Good News of the Kingdom of YHVH and salvation in Yahushua according to Father YHVH's perfect plan. John 20:21 Then said Yahushua to them again, Peace be to you: as my Father has sent me, even so send I you. Matthew 28:19 Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of [with] the Holy Ghost: Mark 16:15 And he said to them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
909
11.3.2.1 The Ministries There is good reason to define briefly the diverse ministries or services which existed in the primitive church. Apostle: There were 12 apostles appointed or chosen by Yahushua. This number was maintained at 12 when Judas Iscariot took his own life. Afterward, we cannot see in the history of the true church where the number of 12 apostles would have been maintained except that the elect were persecuted and almost all killed. Today, the structure is changed because of the limited number of elect living in the same place. Apparently, the scattering of the elect over all the planet does not allow nor does require such a structure. Besides, in these last days, there is a concept according to which the shepherds have been removed because they neglected and deceived the sheep instead of feeding them and protecting them.
Prophet: That function was clearely known in the old testament. Men are clearly identified because they received the words from the angel YHVH and they received a clear mission to accomplish with the people or other groups. In the new testament, we find again the term for certain individuals of whom Yahushua, the first and John the Baptist. Today, we cannot easily distinguish the true prophets from the false prophets who are very numerous. The prophecies clearly announce an individual called the false prophet in the very last days with another individual called the Beast. Also, the 2 witnesses of Revelation 11 may be considered as the 2 last true prophets (see 11.4.3 The 2 Witnesses) who will not only preach to the elect who are still alive but also to the whole world as a last warning. As the Pharaoh of Egypt was afflicted with plagues to force him to release the people of Israel, also, the 2 witnesses will afflict this modern Babylon for their rebellion against the only True Creator Father YHVH and their persecution of the elect. Bishop This term is not clearly defined in the inspired writings. In any case, today, in the true church, this function is not either necessary because the brethren are placed on an egalitarian basis to help each other, without the shepherds who were professional abusers. The spiritual gifts and talents are shared among the brethren who come in contact. In this case, the functions are naturally shared without an official structure. 910
Deacon (deaconess): The word deacon is translated from the Greek word diakon which is simply translated somewhere else by servant. This role served strictly as the physical service of the brethren in particular, during the assemblies. These men and women had no spiritual responsabilities but only physical tasks in the service of the brethren during the meetings.
911
11.4 The Day of Trumpets (4th step) The solemn Day of Trumpets is commanded to be kept on the 1st day of the 7th month (see 10.7 Day of Trumpets). It is a day of shouting and alarm marked with the sound of trumpets. The word trumpet is not found in the original texts of the following verse but the sound of trumpet is commanded on each intercalary day (translated as new moon) (see 10.15 Blow the Trumpet). Leviticus 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing [08643 teruwah shouting] [of trumpets], an holy convocation. This solemn day represents the 4 th step in the plan of salvation. It corresponds to the prophetic day when the 7th seal is opened and the 7 trumpets are given to the 7 angels. It is the prophesied day when the sound of the first of the 7 trumpets will begin as described in the book of Revelation (see 11.8.3 The 7th Seal and the 7 Trumpets). Revelation 8:1 And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels which stand before Creator Father; and there were given unto them seven trumpets. These 7 trumpets will be sounded to afflict this modern Babylon with plagues and cause its walls to fall with the 7 cups of wrath. This step in the plan constitutes punishment on those who did not accept the offer of salvation and repentance. This step initiates the destruction of the evil system which Satan imposed on humanity through lies and deceit. As the following parable explains it, rich and powerful men on this earth have joined with Satan to participate in his rebellion and to seize the resources which belong to the Father Creator. All creation belongs to the Father YHVH who wishes to give it to His legitimate heir, His son Yahushua who will share it with the elect (saints) and the rest of humanity. Matthew 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, which planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. 34 And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits. 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them in like manner. 37 But afterward he sent unto them his 912
son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance. 39 And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. This step, represented by the solemn Day of Trumpets, begins the severe correction which will be served on the rebellious authorities of this planet and on its inhabitants who followed them. As the walls of Jericho fell with the 7th trumpet, the human and satanic system of the world order will also collapse during the 7th trumpet (see 11.4.6 The 7th Trumpet). We can calculate the total number of days of the 7 trumpets which totalize approximately 48 months (4 biblical years). The total is deducted from counting the 5 th trumpet which lasts 5 months and the 6th trumpet which is associated with the preaching of the 2 witnesses of 1260 days with 3,5 days when they lay dead. The 7 th trumpet marks Yahushua's advent and begins the end of Satan's rule which will meet its last day on the Day of Atonement (see 11.5.1 The Last Day). While the 1 st trumpet would be sounded on a solemn Day of Trumpets (1 st day of 7th month), it is not revealed nor obvious that any of the other 6 trumpets will also be sounded on another solemn Day of Trumpets (1st day of 7th month). The time period covered by the 7th seal corresponds essentially to the 7 trumpets from one solemn Day of Trumpets on the 1st day of the 7th month to a solemn Day of Atonement approximately 48 months (4 biblical years) later which will be the last day and the day of YHVH (see 11.5.4 The Day of YHVH).
913
11.4.1 The 5 First Trumpets The first 5 trumpets are relatively simple and are described below. The first trumpet will begin to sound after the 7th seal is opened. 1st TRUMPET Revelation 8:7 And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 2nd TRUMPET Revelation 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 and there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, even they that had life; and the third part of the ships was destroyed. 3rd TRUMPET Revelation 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of the waters; 11 and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. 4th TRUMPET Revelation 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner. 13 And I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, for them that dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, who are yet to sound. Verse 13 above announces 3 woes which are the following 3 trumpets, the 5 th, the 6th and the 7th trumpets. 914
5th TRUMPET (1st Woe) Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. 2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of Creator Father on their foreheads. 5 And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man. 6 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war. 10 And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months. 11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue he hath the name Apollyon. 12 The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter. The 5th trumpet covers a period of 5 months (5 X 30 days) which is approximately 150 days (do we include an intercalary day?). According to certain verses, the whole period of the first 5 trumpets would totalize approximately 6 months which is deducted from the total period of the 7 trumpets to be 4 biblical years. The 5th trumpet is specifically called a woe and it announces 2 other woes with the 6th and 7th trumpets.
915
11.4.2 The 6th Trumpet (2nd woe) The 6th trumpet is the 2nd woe where the third of men are killed by an army of two myriads of myriads (some people say 200 million). Revelation 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before Creator Father, 14 one saying to the sixth angel, which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed, which had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men. 16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates as of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they do hurt. 20 And the rest of mankind, which were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries [5331 pharmakeia], nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Also, it is noteworthy in verse 21 above, that the word sorceries is translated from the Greek word pharmakeia which means drugs and chemicals. The drug cartel is the means by which much harm has been done to humanity in the last days. We could recognize in the verses above the same army described in Joel 2. Indeed, they are both creatures similar to horses and both use fire as a weapon of destruction. Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of YHVH cometh, for it is nigh at hand; 2 a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong, there 916
hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations. 3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and none hath escaped them. 4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run. 5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 6 At their presence the peoples are in anguish: all faces are waxed pale. 7 They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and they break not their ranks. 8 Neither doth one thrust another; they march every one in his path: and they burst through the weapons, and break not off their course. 9 They leap upon the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief. 10 The earth quaketh before them; the heavens tremble: the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining: 11 And YHVH uttereth his voice before his army; for his camp is very great; for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of YHVH is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? 12 Yet even now, saith YHVH, turn ye unto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto YHVH your El, for he is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, and repenteth him of the evil. Verse 1 above specifies clearly that the Day of YHVH is close and thus that it did not arrive yet. Verse 2 mentions darkness which is a precursor to the Day of YHVH. Is it not possible that the army of Joel 2 is in fact the army described in Revelation 9 which will kill the third of men? The trumpet which is sounded in Joel 2:1 would thus be the 6th trumpet mentioned in Revelation 9. Then, John hears seven thunders but he is prevented from revealing their message. Revelation 10:1 And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire; 2 and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth; 3 and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven 917
thunders uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. An angel announces that the mystery will be revealed at the sound of the 7th trumpet. 5 And the angel which I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven, 6 and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be time no longer: 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of Creator Father, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets. John is commanded to eat a small book so that he will still prophecy to several nations, peoples and kings. 8 And the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. 11 And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings. The outside court of the temple will be trampled by nations during 42 months (see 11.4.4 The Reign of the Beast). The two witnesses will prophecy during 1260 days (see 11.4.3 The 2 Witnesses). Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of Creator Father, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread 918
under foot forty and two months. 3 And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if any man desireth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this manner must he be killed. 6 These have the power to shut the heaven, that it rain not during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they shall desire. This 6th trumpet could cover a period of at least 1263.5 days and cover the Reign of the Beast who will be killed on the last day with the false-prophet. The 6th trumpet seems to end on the day of the resurrection of the 2 witnesses which occcurs at the 1st sound of the 7th trumpet and at the advent of Yahushua on the clouds. It seems very likely that the 144,000 living saints will be gathered on the clouds at this precise moment. In fact, the 2 witnesses are part of the 144,000 saints (see 11.4.8 The 144000 on the Clouds).
919
11.4.3 The 2 Witnesses Among the events of the last days, the preaching of the Two Witnesses is situated during the 6th trumpet which is also called the 2 nd woe (see 11.8.01 Diagram ). This woe is situated between the 5th trumpet called the 1st woe and the 7th trumpet called the 3rd woe). Revelation 11:3 And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. The duration of their preaching is 1260 days exactly. This may differ from the 42 real months of the reign of the Beast which may begin a few days after the 2 witnesses begin. The two witnesses will display extraordinary powers, like angels, like Yahushua to announce the Good News and the Truth in all the earth, to fight and punish the enemy. Revelation 11:4 These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if any man desireth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this manner must he be killed. 6 These have the power to shut the heaven, that it rain not during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they shall desire. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] was crucified. 9 And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do men look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 10 And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth. 11 And after the three days and a half the breath of life from Creator Father entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which beheld them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them. We can see that these two witnesses, while speaking for the only True Creator Father YHVH, will be attacked and threatened by the authorities of this world 920
under Satan. The 2 witnesses, like Yahushua, will denounce the sins of the world, so that it will be without excuse at Yahushua's judgment at his return. John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. However, nothing will harm them before the end of their 1260 days of preaching. After that, they will be allowed to be killed and suffer the 1 st death. Then after three and a half days of their bodies lying in the street without being put in graves, they will be resurrected. A voice which is heard from the cloud is possibly that of Yahushua who has just arrived on the 7 th day of the 7th month at the sound of the 7th trumpet (see 11.4.7. Yahushua's Advent on Clouds). At first examination, we would think that the moment of their resurrection coincides with the moment of the 1st resurrection of the dead in Christ. However, the Bible clearly places the 1 st resurrection on the last day which is the 10th day of the 7th month (see 11.5.1 The Last Day and 11.5.10 The 1st Resurrection). Besides, it is clear in the Bible that nobody will preceed anyone in the change from mortal to immortal as Paul says (see 5.16.1 The Change). 1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord [ Yahushua YHVH], that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord [ Yahushua YHVH], shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Consequently, the two witnesses will be resurrected to continuous life only physically before the last day; without immortality, like Lazarus was resurrected. In fact, the two witnesses will be apparently resurrected at the first blowing of the 7th trumpet with the advent of Yahushua on the clouds on the 7 th day of the 7th month. The resurrection and rising of the 2 witnesses will be in fact the moment when the 144,000 saints arise on the clouds with Yahushua (see 11.4.8 The 144000 on Clouds). The two witnesses would therefore be a part of the 144000 saints sealed at the 6th seal who are taken up. It is thus confirmed that they cannot be hurt during their days of witnessing as part of the 144000 sealed saints. Being included in the 144000, the two witnesses could join Yahushua on the 921
clouds on the 7th day of the 7th month. They will all arrive at Mount Zion on the 10th day of the 7th month which is the last day with the last events (see 11.8.02 The Events). They will join the fight against the army of the Beast at Armagedon. The 1st resurrection will occur on the last day after these last events. On this last day, the other livings saints on earth will be taken with the resurrected saints on the clouds to join all the other saints. All saints will be changed in one single twinkling of an eye from corruptible to incorruptible, from mortal to immortal. As for the identity of the two witnesses, it is not really important. Some people propose that they are Moses and Elijah. Others propose Enoch and Elijah who are the only two men whose physical death was not confirmed on the earth as all human beings. They were taken by the angel of YHVH outside of the sight of men (2Kings 2:11 and Genesis 5:23). This possibility remains an hypothesis without biblical proof. However, another concept is revealed by the Bible. The spirit of Elijah could be apparently transfered to other individuals to carry out a specific mission. As indicated in the verses below, Elisha even received a double portion of his spirit. 2 Kings 2:9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. 2 Kings 2:15 And when the sons of the prophets which were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. Clearly, these verses imply the concept of a particular spirit which is transfered from an individual to another individual. These verses mention the spirit of Elijah being transfered to Elisha, even in a double portion! The angel who spoke to Zechariah again confirms this concept by saying that John the Baptist would walk in the spirit and power of Elijah. Luke 1:17 And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] a people prepared for him. The spirit of Elijah has already been transfered twice to another individual. In conclusion, it is possible that the spirit of Elijah will again be transfered to another individual who will be one of the 2 witnesses. Also, we could conclude 922
that Elijah's body was disposed of by the Father Creator in an unknown way according to the concept of the 1st death.
923
11.4.4 The Reign of the Beast The present political and economic system called the New World Order is in fact the satanic system which will take full control of the planet soon. The Bible specifies the duration of the reign of the Beast as 42 months. Revelation 11:2 And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. Revelation 13:4 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to war with him ? 5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months. We should consider 42 real months of 30 days. This period may exceed 1260 days because of the intercalary days and epagomen days. This period of 42 months will end a few days after the 2 witnesses end their testimony. It is during this period of 42 months that the mark of the Beast will be imposed on all the earth (see 11.4.5 Mark of the Beast). The Beast will continue to reign after the death of the 2 witnesses and during the period covered by the 7 cups of the plagues during the days of the 7th trumpet. The Beast participates with the army in the battle of Armagedon. Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army. The destruction of the army at Armagedon, will begin the destruction of the complete system of the Beast after the return of Yahushua on the last day which is the Day of YHVH and the Day of Atonement (see 11.5.6 Armagedon). It will be at the time of the 7th cup, after the destruction of the army at Armagedon, that the Beast will be cast in the lake of fire.
924
11.4.5 The Mark of the Beast What is the mark of the Beast? Is it an electronic chip that will be implanted on the right hand or the forehead to clearly identify each person as a willing member of the Beast system? Or is it rather an allegiance of each person towards a man and his system which will require to worship another entity or object in place of the One true Creator Father YHVH? In any case, the mark must be a volontary act by an adult person who has the maturity to make a binding legal decision. It cannot be a birth certificate which was registered when the child was unable to make a valid, conscious and legal decision. The birth certificate is merely the proof and sign of our slavery in a foreign land due to our disobedience to our Father Creator YHVH as He had told us (see 8.1.3 Slavery due to Sin and Leviticus 26:14-28). Leviticus 26:14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: 16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. The mark of the Beast will be established during the reign of the Beast which may mostly be concomitant with the preaching of the 2 witnesses. The Beast may be recognized by the number 666 if we can deceipher the code. The present civil and financial and slavery system is preparing to install the Beast system and its final mark. Each adult person will have to make a personal decision as to worship some man and/or system under threath of death. Revelation 13:11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed. 13 And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he 925
deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who hath the stroke of the sword, and lived. 15 And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name. This mark will be taken during the 6th trumpet because the 1st cup will be poured during the 7th trumpet and this 1st cup is specifically intended for those who have already accepted the mark of the Beast. Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of Creator Father into the earth. 2 And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and which worshipped his image. The Beast, as an entity and as a system, will exercise supreme authority on the earth. It will cause the inhabitants of the earth to worship the image of a first Beast. There is place for interpretation here but let us look at the mark only. Verse 16 mentions a mark on the forehead and on the right hand to identify every individual in order to grant permission to buy and\or to sell. Without the mark, nobody can buy nor sell. So, we cannot work in the official system to buy food nor sell anything without the mark. We can see that all the inhabitants of the earth will be subjected to this totalitarian control, the rich and the poor, the free and the slaves, alike. Those who willingly accept the mark of the Beast will do it to survive, that is, to save their skin because their name may not be in the book of life of the lamb. Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man hath an ear, let him hear. 10 If any man is for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 926
There is a distinction made for those whose name is written in the book of life of the lamb. Indeed, those who refuse to worship the Beast had their name already written in the book of life of the lamb (see 11.03.1 Predestination). We assume that those who worship the Beast will agree to take its mark also. Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having seven plagues, which are the last, for in them is finished the wrath of Father Creator. 2 And I saw as it were a glassy sea mingled with fire; and them that come victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing by the glassy sea, having harps of Father Creator. This mark is firstly spiritual and intellectual because people must first give their allegiance to a political and economical system. The saints who recognize this system as being antechrist and against the laws of YHVH, know that Satan is at the head. Thus, they will refuse to submit themselves to it and to give it any allegiance. There is a great multitude of saints who will conquer through their faith and who will not take the mark of the Beast. In fact, the elect are sealed with the mark of Father YHVH before the mark of the Beast is imposed because the elect have been baptised and have received the Holy Spirit. Revelation 7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands; 14 And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. There will be a great multitude of people who will be resurrected in the 1st resurrection and who will receive immortality for their faith in Yahushua. These people come out of the great tribulation about which Yahushua spoke in Matthew 24. Matthew 24:21 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. Even if we do not know with certainty our place among the 144,000 living saints or among the other living saints or among the great multitude, each of us will 927
carry out our fate according to Father YHVH's plan because He has predestined us. If we refuse the mark of the Beast, it is only because the Holy Spirit will have warned us of it and will have given us the courage and the faith to do so. All the glory belongs to our Father Creator YHVH through his son Yahushua. Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Yahushua, and for the word of Creator Father, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ [Yahushua] a thousand years. The verses above are clear: some will refuse to take the mark of the Beast and to worship the Beast and its image. Should we be part of those? We will take the place for which we were predestined by our Father YHVH. Those who take the mark of the Beast will be severely punished in the 1 st cup and more later. Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and which worshipped his image. Revelation 14:9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Creator Father, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name. We should note here that the mark of the Beast will be imposed at the beginning of the 6th trumpet. In our modern system with the electronic identification which is very widespread, we could imagine how it will be possible to prevent whoever from buying or from selling without some mark. Indeed, by eliminating the paper currency and by replacing it with electronic credit and debit cards, it will be possible to 928
restrict all financial operations only to those who will accept the mark of the Beast. The mark of the Beast is more than having our name legally registered as a citizen of this modern civil and political system through the birth certificate. It must be another willing registration, an additionnal legal agreement as a willing adult that will require a spiritual allegeance and the worship of a man or image at the head of the Beast system. Those who accept to worship the Beast system will have their name written in that sytem so that they can buy and sell. In contrast, the elect's name are written in the book of life and will refuse this specific agreement. According to law, children under the age of 20 years are not legally responsible since they are under their parents' authority. Thus, we could imagine that the children will be spared from the mark of the Beast. This does not mean that all children will survive the plagues of the 7 trumpets because many will be killed. We can imagine that the children who will survive and live during the millenium may also be elect, although they are not baptised. They will remain in flesh and blood to replenish the earth.
929
11.4.6 The 7th Trumpet The 7th trumpet announces the end of the satanic kingdom and the beginning of Father YHVH's kingdom through Yahushua. Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord [Father Creator], and of his Christ [messiah Yahushua]: and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sit before Father Creator on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped Father Creator, 17 saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord Father Creator, the Almighty, which art and which wast; because thou hast taken thy great power, and didst reign. 18 And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and the time to give their reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth. 19 And there was opened the temple of Father Creator that is in heaven; and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail. The 7th trumpet marks the advent of Yahushua as the heir and the spokesman who speaks for the Father Creator. Revelation 19:13 And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of Creator Father. The 7th trumpet includes 7 cups of the wrath of Father YHVH and of the lamb (see 11.8.4 The 7 cups). We do not see the exact duration of the 7 th trumpet directly, nor of the cups but it is possible to deduct them. The following verse specifies the days of the 7th trumpet as being plural, thus of 2 days or more. Revelation 10:7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of Creator Father, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets. The reign of Satan and of the Beast will be finished during the days of the 7th trumpet and completely eliminated on the last day which is the Day of Atonement (see 11.5 in The Day of Atonement). The last trumpet is the 7th trumpet which will sound during a few days, for the advent of Yahushua on clouds, for the 1st resurrection and for the change from mortal to immortal. 930
1 Corinthians 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. The shofar is always sounded to announce the solemn Day of Atonement. Although the shofar could be added to the 7 th silver trumpet, the verse above allows us to believe that the sound of the 7 th silver trumpet continues until the resurrection. THE DURATION OF THE 7th TRUMPET How can we determine the duration of the 7 th trumpet ? We know that it lasts at least 2 days. We find an important hint in Hosea. Hosea 6:1 "Come, let us return to YHVH; for he has torn, that he may heal us; he has stricken, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. 3 Let us know, let us press on to know YHVH; his going forth is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth." (RSV) These verses above mention the coming of YHVH (Yahushua) and the resurrection which is to occur after 2 days. Therefore, we must consider two full days between the day of the advent of Yahushua on the clouds at the 7 th trumpet and the day of the 1st resurrection which will take place on the last day, that is, a solemn Day of Atonement, the 10 th day of the 7th month. In this scenario, the sound of the 7th trumpet would begin on the 7th day of the 7th month for the advent of Yahushua on the clouds. So, the 1st resurrection would take place 2 days after the coming of Yahushua on clouds, which is the 3 rd following day; that is, the 10th day of the 7th month, the solemn Day of Atonement, in conformity to Hosea 6:1-3 above. The sound of the 7th trumpet will be heard during 2 full days (8 th and 9th days) and during 2 partial days (7th and 10th days) of the 7th month. The exact duration in hours cannot be known because the hour of the beginning of the 7th trumpet is unknown, being the unknown hour of the advent of Yahushua. Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only. We cannot know the exact day because we do not know the year of the advent of Yahushua. Also, we do not know the exact hour of the 1 st resurrection and of the change to immortality when the 7th trumpet will cease. Besides, the advent of Yahushua will cause an unusual light which will be neither 931
day nor night. Zechariah 14:7 but it shall be one day which is known unto YHVH; not day, and not night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light. Furthermore, it is very plausible that the first sound of the 7 th trumpet will coincide with the resurrection of the 2 witnesses (see 11.4.3 The Two Witnesses). Their resurrection could thus correspond to the gathering on the clouds of the 144000 living saints. So, it is plausible that the two witnesses would be part of the 144000 saints who will be gathered on clouds with Yahushua (see 11.4.8 The 144000 on Clouds). Matthew 24:30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. These scenarios are plausible but not entirely confirmed. The resurrection of the 2 witnesses does not qualify to be the 1st resurrection which occurs clearly on the last day, that is, the solemn Day of Atonement (see 11.5.10 The 1st Resurrection). We may also consider that the 7th trumpet will overlap with the Atonement as the 7th cup is poured on the last day, that is, the Atonement. We expect the 7th cup to be part of the 7th trumpet but the will have the sound of the 7 th trumpet continue until the resurrection change to immortality.

11.4.7 Yahushua's Advent on the Clouds Among the most important events in the history of humanity, certainly Yahushua's return to earth is the most significant. The Bible clearly reveals that Yahushua returns on a cloud at the first sound of the 7 th trumpet (see 11.4.6 The 7th Trumpet). Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Matthew 24:30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Matthew 25:31 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: Matthew 26:64 Jesus [Yahushua] saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. Mark 14:62 Yahushua said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. Revelation 14:14 And I saw, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud I saw one sitting like unto a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. As the verses above clearly demonstrate, his return will not be secret. Yahushua 933
will be visible to the eyes of all human beings on earth, not being an invisible spirit but a physical man. At the first sound of the 7 th trumpet, Yahushua will descend from heaven, from the throne of his Father Creator to stand on clouds in our earthly atmosphere for the pouring of the 7 cups of wrath during the days of the 7th trumpet (see 11.8.02 The Events). Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord [Father Creator], and of his Christ [messiah Yahushua]: and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sit before Father Creator on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped Father Creator, 17 saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord Father Creator, the Almighty, which art and which wast; because thou hast taken thy great power, and didst reign. 18 And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and the time to give their reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth. 19 And there was opened the temple of Father Creatorhat is in heaven; and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail. As the legitimate heir, Yahushua returns to end the satanic reign and to prevent the total destruction of humanity. Mark 13:20 And except the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days. Revelation 19:11 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon, called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written, which no one knoweth but he himself. 13 And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God [of Father Creator]. We can see from the following verse that Yahushua will descend to earth from heaven at the sound of the 7th trumpet. 1Thessalonians 4:16 For YHVH himself shall descend from heaven, 934
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Creator Father: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Father Creator will prevent the total destruction of humanity by intervening through His son Yahushua (YHVH) who will come to establish what was called the Good News of the Kingdom and to save those who are waiting for him (see 11.6.1 The Good News). Hebrew 9:28 so Christ [messiah Yahushua] also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation. Yahushua will come to establish the Government of the Father Creator which will cause a paradise on earth. This paradise is another important prophetic step in the plan of salvation and in the great lesson to humanity (see 11.6.0 The Feast of Tents). Certain popular beliefs state that the Bible places the return of Yahushua on a day of solemnity called the Day of Trumpets on the 1 st day of the 7th month. However, the Bible does not support that belief by showing that his return may rather take place at the first sound of the 7 th trumpet on the 7th day of the 7th month. His return will take place a few days before the solemn Day of Atonement which will be the last day of Satan's rule (see 11.5.1 The Last Day and 11.4.6 The 7th Trumpet). Such details of his return are taken on Hosea who places the day of the 1st resurrection 2 days after the return of Yahushua YHVH on the clouds, that is on the 3rd day (see 11.5.10 The 1st Resurrection). Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto YHVH: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. 3 And let us know, let us follow on to know YHVH; his going forth is sure as the morning: and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. We know that the 1st resurrection will take place on the last day which is the solemn Day of Atonement (the 10th day of the 7th month) and that this day is the 3rd day after Yahushua's return. Thus, we can deduct that he will return 2 full days before the resurrection day, possibly on the 7 th day of the 7th month. According a possible scenario, Yahushua would return in the 7 th year of the calendar to inaugurate the sabbatical 7th year of the land cycle which begins on the day of Atonement. Thus, the day, the month, the year, the trumpet and the seal are marked with the number 7 which identifies Father Creator's intervention. There are 2 full days between the 7 th day and the 10th day (Day of Atonement). However, this scenario, although plausible, is not confirmed since these events may be accomplished according to the celestial calendar and not the earthly calendar (see 9.04 The Celestial Calendar). Yahushua himself did not know the 935
day nor the hour of his return but can the elect know the year of his return in the last days? Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only. Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh. From the day of his return on a cloud until the day when Yahushua will arrive over Zion on a cloud on the last day, a period of a few days will pass. What will Yahushua do during these few days? Just as the people of Israel marched around Jericho seven times to cause its walls to fall, Yahushua will most likely go around the planet Earth on clouds during those days before the walls of modern Babylon fall on the last day (see Joshua 6:1-21). Who knows if Yahushua will go around the Earth seven times on a cloud to be seen by all? All the events described at the sound of the 7th trumpet, including the seven cups, the 1 st resurrection and the change to immortality, will take place while Yahushua is standing on clouds with the 144000 saints (see 11.8.02 The Events). There has been many false prophecies concerning the date of his return. Unfortunately, many false prophecies still continue to be published. The Bible reveals that he will return during the night but we don't know the hour. We do not know exactly the duration of the 7 th trumpet as confirmed in the following verse but it will sound over a period of 4 days (see 11.4.6 The 7 th Trumpet). No matter which is the day of his return, we must be ready and busy with the business of our Father Creator. James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] is at hand. 2Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you; Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven; from whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] Jesus Christ [messiah Yahushua]: 21 who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all 936
things unto himself. These verses are specific about the physical return of Yahushua on the earth to establish the Kingdom of his Father Creator. The disciples saw Yahushua rising to heaven on a cloud with his body of flesh and bone. The angels confirmed to them that Yahushua would return in the same way; that is, on clouds in flesh and bone. Acts 1:9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Yahushua, which was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven. Yahushua's advent will have an impact on the light on the earth. Indeed, Yahushua will make light seen in the middle of the night. Zechariah 14:7 And there shall be a unique day, which is known to YHVH, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light. On the day of Yahushua's return, individuals will be taken away (raptured) from among the living human beings on earth (see 11.4.8 The Rapture of the 144000). Matthew 24:38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 40 Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: However, we must admit that his advent on the cloud can easily be confounded with his arrival at Mount Zion on the last day, called the day of YHVH (see 11.5.2 Yahushua at Zion and 11.5.4 The Day of YHVH). Indeed, his advent on the clouds will be seen by all the inhabitants of the earth at the first sound of the 7th trumpet while his personnal intervention will only take place on the last day at Armagedon where he will fight and destroy the armies of the world (see 11.8.02 The Events). The cups of wrath will be poured out by the angels one by one during the days of the 7th trumpet. It is only on the last day, after the armies' destruction and after Satan's emprisonment that will take place the rapture of the other living saints on the clouds for the famous change from 937
mortal to immortal, from corruptible to incorruptible (see 5.16.1 The Change). More discerment is thus needed to distinguish the rapture of the 144000 on the day of his advent from the rapture of the other saints immediately after the 1st resurrection on the last day. It is only after those events that Yahushua YHVH will put his feet on the Mount of Olives with all the saints changed on the last day.
938
11.4.8 The 144000 on the Clouds The 144000 saints will be chosen and sealed at the time of the 6 th seal among all the living saints on earth from the 12 tribes of Israel. Revelation 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascend from the sunrising, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our Father Creatorn their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel. 5 Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand: 6 Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand: 7 Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand: 8 Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. It is important to note that the 144000 saints will be sealed before certain disasters begin to afflict the earth during the 7 th seal with the 7 trumpets. Logically, if these 144000 saints need to be physically protected, it is because they will still be alive on the earth when Yahushua returns from the throne of heaven. As they are being marked on the forehead, it is implicit that the 144000 saints are still alive with a physical body. The saints who died do not have physical bodies anymore nor a forehead because their spirit without a body is resting with the Father Creator, waiting for the resurrection (see 5.4 A Spirit in a Body). Some people assert that the 144000 saints will all have died at the return of Yahushua and others assert that a part will be alive and another part will have died. Nevertheless, the Bible reveals that the resurrection of the two witnesses will occur at first during the days of the 7th trumpet and thet a few days later, the 1st resurrection will take place on the last day. The resurrection of the two witnesses is not a part of the 1 st resurrection as such because it does not take place on the last day but a few days before. The two witnesses are taken up on 939
the clouds on the day of the return of Yahushua which is not a sabbatical day. Matthew 24:30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. The 144000 saints will not need to be resurrected since they will all still be alive as Yahushua returns to earth on the clouds. They will be taken up on the clouds and gathered with Yahushua at his return, when the 7 th trumpet begins to sound (see 11.4.7 Yahushua's Advent on the Clouds). Matthew 24:39 and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 40 Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: 41 two shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. Luke 17:31 In that day, he which shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back. 34 I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 There shall be two grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. We know that the 1st resurrection takes place on the last day which is a solemn Day of Atonement, a solemn sabbatical day. Thus, it is evident that the raptures described in the verses above do not take place on this sabbatical day since the elect are shown there working. Besides, we must consider the time zones on the earth because some are in bed while others are in the field. The saints inevitably keep the law of the Sabbath and will not be found working on a sabbatical day (see 11.5.10 The 1st Resurrection). Consequently, it is impossible to conceive that the 144000 saints will be raptured on the day of the 1 st resurrection on the last day which is a solemn sabbatical day. Besides, we should note in verse 34 above, that Yahushua will return during the night for some (in bed) and during daylight for others (grinding). We therefore must distinguish the 144000 saints gathered with Yahushua on the clouds from the other saints still alive on earth on the last day. These latter wait for the 1st resurrection of the dead saints to be joined with them and the 144000 on the clouds for all to be changed at the same time from mortal to immortal, in a twinkling of an eye, as Paul explained (see 5.16.1 The Change). 940
1Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. From the instant of Yahushua's return on the clouds, the 144000 saints will thus be joined first with him to attend to all the events with Yahushua (see 11.4.7 Yahushua's Advent on Clouds). The 144000 saints will accompany Yahushua when he arrives on the clouds over Zion on the Day of YHVH (the last day) for the battle of Armagedon (see 11.5.4 in The Day of YHVH). 1Thessalonians 3:13 to the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our Creator Father and Father, at the coming of our Lord Yahushua with all his saints. The saints mentioned in the verse below, called the chosen, would be the 144000 saints who will be with Yahushua for the battle of Armagedon (see 11.5.6 Armagedon). Revelation 17:14 These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they also shall overcome that are with him, called and chosen and faithful. This last verse 14 is determining, in the concept of the 144000 saints, who will accompany Yahushua during the battle of Armagedon. In the chronology, the battle of Armagedon takes place before the 1 st resurrection. That is why the 144000 saints are mentioned on the mountain of Zion separately from the other saints who are not gathered yet nor resurrected. Revelation 14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand, even they that had been purchased out of the earth. 4 These are they who have not made themselves unclean with women; for they are virgins. These are they who go after the Lamb wherever he 941
goes. These were taken from among men to be the first fruits to Creator Father and to the Lamb. It is important to notice the above verse 4 which states that the 144000 saints follow the lamb wherever he goes. This statement confirms the fact that the 144000 saints will accompany Yahushua on the clouds as they circle the earth for a few days and then finally will stop above Zion to defend Jerusalem and confront the army at Armageddon.
942
11.4.9 The Book of Daniel Some important prophecies concerning the end of the age are found in Daniel's book. Some simply confirm events which need no explanations. It is assumed that these propheties concern only the period preceding the last day and particularly the period of time represented by the Day of Trumpets. However, certain verses mention elements which are not currently integrated into the summary chronologies shown in the present work. At this time, these unresolved verses are simply shown below. Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." 5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and behold, there stood two others, the one on this side of the bank of the river and the other on that side of the bank of the river. 6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, "How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?" 7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by Him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished scattering the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. 8 And I heard, but I understood not. Then said I, "O my lord, what shall be the end of these things?" 9 And he said, "Go thy way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified and made white and tried, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. 11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. 13 But go thou thy way till the end be; for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days." First of all, let us note that these verses were sealed in secret (v. 4) until the time of the end at a moment when its meaning would be revealed. We may note the following elements: 1) After 1 time, 2 times and half a time, the power of the holy people will be completely broken (v. 7) 2) A period of 1290 days concerns the cessation of the perpetual sacrifice and the setting up of the abomination of desolation ( V.11 ) 943
3) Happy is he who will wait and will arrive at the end of a period of 1335 days (v. 12) Generally, the use of the term 'time' is often interpreted as being a period of one year. In that case, the concerned period would be a period of 3.5 years. As for the numbers of days in question, they could really be days of 24 hours but they can also represent complete years. We may ask what is the happy event to occur at the end of the 1335 days? Is it the 1st resurrection? In that case, it would be on the Day of Atonement on the 10th day of the 7th month. Is it the Lamb's wedding? In that case, it would be the Feast of Tents which begins on the 15th day of the 7th month following the famous last day (Day of Atonement). If we fix the 1335th day on a given date, we could retreive 1334 days and find a given date in the calendar if that could useful.
944
11.5 The Day of Atonement - 5th step The Day of Atonement is the most solemn commanded Holy day (see 10.8 The Day of Atonement). As a prophetic step, it is most solemn also to put an end to Satan's rule. There is a prophetic period of 2 years represented by the Day of Atonement. The patience of the Father Creator will allow a hard lesson to humanity, but He will not allow the total destruction of life on the planet. If Father Creator did not shorten the days, all life on earth would be annihilated. Matthew 24:22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. If Father Creator left Satan at the head of the human governments, Satan would destroy all life on earth to prevent the plan of the Father Creator from establishing His son Yahushua and the saints to reign on earth. However, that satanic system along with the men who support it will be destroyed. Who are the elect mentionned in the above verses? They include the 144000 saints from the 12 tribes of Israel (see 11.4.8 The 144000 on the Clouds). They include also the children of Israel under the age of 20 years old who will be physicaly protected to continue the descendance of the tribes during the millenium. There will also be survivors from the other nations. The prophetic accomplishment of this 5 th step begins and is represented by the Day of Atonement on the 10 th day of the 7th month at some time in the future. This day very solemn Sabbath day will see the last events as the last day of this age to end Satan's rule (see 11.8.02 Chronology of Events). There will be during this same day other events that will lead to the setting up of Father YHVH's new just government. Satan's emprisonnement was prophesied in the annual ritual which took place on the Day of Atonement where the goat for Azazel was sent into a wilderness, far from human beings. It is through this ritual that this day is identified as the last day when Satan is emprisonned for 1000 years (see 10.8 The Day of Atonement). Leviticus 16:21 and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a man that is in readiness into the wilderness: 22 and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a solitary land: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. The symbolism of two goats aims at removing the sins and the sinners from among the people in the last day. The goat for YHVH would represent all those who refused Yahushua's sacrifice and who refused to repent. They will receive 945
their reward for their own sins: capital punishment (see 11.5.12 Death Sentence). They will be killed in this last day to cleanse the people. Also, through the sacrifice of Yahushua, the prophetic fulfillment of this Day of Atonement also includes the final transformation of the elect through the new birth in a new body perfectly subjected to the law of the spirit (see 5.16 Born again). As the spirit of man has already become a new spiritual creature with the Holy Spirit, also, in a winkling, the corrupt physical body will be changed into a body similar to the glorious body of Yahushua. Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from where also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah]: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like to his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things to himself. The change of the saints to incorruptibility and to immortality will take place on the last day to begin their participation with Yahushua in his reign and in his just government of 1000 years (see 11.5.1 The Last Day). The following sections establish from the Bible verses, in a coherent chronology, the events which will take place during this 5th step. This step of the plan of salvation will be accomplished beginning on this 24 hour day which marks the end of this age (see 11.8.01 Diagram and 11.8.02 The Events). This 5th step will include the preparation towards the prophetic accomplishment of the following 6 th step in the plan represented by the Feast of Tents (see 11.6 The Feast of Tents). As the Day of Trumpets will be the beginning of a period of 4 years to end the satanic system, also, the Day of Atonement will be the beginning of a period 2 years of preparation and reconciliation which is the 5 th step. This period will include the wedding supper of the Lamb and the establishment of the survivors of the children of Israel in their ancestral lands (see 11.5.13 The Great Exodus). The duration of this period of reconciliation and preparation is revealed from the sequence of the solemnities in the calendar as follows. In the biblical calendar, the Day of Trumpets is kept on the 1 st day of the 7th month whereas the Day of Atonement is kept on the 10 th day of the 7th month. Between these 2 solemnities, there are 8 calendar days which correspond to the 4th step which was found to be 4 years approximately. With a simple cross multiplication, the 4 calendar days between the Day of Atonement (10th day) and the Feast of Tents (15th day), give us a period of 2 years for this 5th step. If 8 calendar days represent 4 years, the 4 calendar days represent 2 years. Thus, the just government of Father YHVH will begin officially with the people in their promised land at Feast of Tents, approximately 2 years after the last day which will be a solemn Day of Atonement. What will happen during those 2 946
years? The shofar is sounded on the Day of Atonement to declare within the land cycle, the 7th sabbatical year with release and the year of the jubilee, in the 50th year (see 9.5 The Land Cycle and its Sabbatical Year and 9.6 The Year of Jubile). For this period beginning on the Day of the Atonement, there will be two sabbatical years, that is, the 7th sabbatical year (49th year of the jubilee cycle) followed by the year of jubilee ( 50th year). By examining the sequence of the land cycles and the incidence of the harvests, the year of jubilee seems absolutely required for the prophetic fulfillment of this step where the children of Israel will be returned to their ancestral lands (see 8.6.2 The Year of Jubile and 11.5.13 The Great Exodus). The 1st year will be a sabbatical year with release where all the debts will be erased and the slaves will be released (see 8.6.1 The Year of Release). This sabbatical year will also see the reading of the law in the Feast of Tents which will begin 4 days after the sound of the shofar of the Day of the Atonement sounded on the last day. It is not clear that all the survivors will be available to observe this holy day, in particular the children. Nevertheless, the people (through their representatives) will be instructed in the laws of the Father Creator from the beginning for the reign of Yahushua and the saints on earth. It is logical that the rules be set at the very beginning to avoid problems along the way. It will also be the opportunity to explain to the survivors the new situation with the steps and the changes which will be implemented from that day. This Feast of Tents will also be the occasion for the wedding supper of the Lamb (see 11.5.11 The Wedding of the Lamb). The first year would be the opportunity where the husband and the wife will better know each other according to the biblical law for the newly-weds. The 2nd year will be the year of jubilee with the great prophetised exodus which will allow the movement of all the descendants of each tribe of Israel and their establishment in their ancestral lands. Because of the greatness of the number of nations and individuals involved, this great world exodus will overshadow the exodus of Egypt (see 11.5.13 The great Exodus). Jeremiah 16:14 Therefore, behold, the days come, said YHVH, that it shall no more be said, YHVH lives, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15 But, YHVH lives, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers. It is thus deducted that the new just government will be completely formed and established in all the earth officially on the Feast of Tents which will be observed 2 years after the famous last day (a Day of Atonement). All the peoples will be already established in their countries and respective territories.

11.5.01 The Chronology of Events Here is a brief list of prophesied events during the prophetic period represented by the solemn Day of Atonement as the 5 th step of the plan of salvation. This step will begin on the Day of Atonement which corresponds to the last day of Satan's system (see 11.5.1 The Last Day). During the last day, the change (in the winkling of an eye) of the elect really constitutes the beginning of the prophesied reconciliation. The following events will occur after the last day in the sequence of the end of this age (see 11.8.02 The Events). This 5th step is characterized by forgiveness, atonement and the reconciliation of the people in contrast to the events of the last day which eliminated the enemies and their system. Yahushua's judgment of the survivors at first will eliminate all the wicked before the mariage supper of the Lamb (see 11.5.12 Death Penalty). This period of 2 years will be the beginning of the just government of Yahushua and of the saints to be gradually implemented. This period of reconciliation will include all the preparations for the implementation of the just government which is the 6th step. The list of events below may not be entirely chronological nor complete. These items are a part of the necessary logistics for the organization of the surviving descendants of Israel and the other survivors. Before the end of this period, all the survivors will have been settled in houses in their territory according to the law of the jubilee (see 8.6.2 The Jubilee). No harvest nor sowing are allowed during this 2 year period (a sabbatical year followed by the year of jubilee) but the survivors will benefit from previous triple harvests (see 9.6.01 Diagram). - The survivors will be taken charge of by guardians to secure them - some changed saints will receive cities to rule over - the survivors will be invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb to take place during the time of the Feast of Tents - the Feast of Tents will be prepared - the survivors will be temporarily lodged in tents for the feast - Food reserves will be gathered and distributed for the Feast of Tents - The Feast of Tents is begun in Jerusalem and in the different camps of tents through out the planet - the Law will be read and explained at the feast - all the survivors will be informed of the situation and their possible relocation - the Holy Spirit will be granted to the children of Israel living in flesh and blood - the survivors of the 12 tribes of Israel will be identified by family to be relocated in their respective territories 948
- the survivors will be relocated during the year of jubilee ( the great exodus) - the construction of the temple will begin in Jerusalem - the bones of the soldiers killed in Armageddon will be buried (Eze. 39:12-14) - the earth will be cleansed from human works and pollution - All the food reserves will be managed and made available for the period of 2 years of rest for the earth - The agricultural tools will be fabricated and supplied to the survivors for the sowing after the year of jubilee
11.5.1 The Last Day There is a last day of 24 hours mentioned in the Bible. We find the mention of this last day from the mouth of Yahushua and from his disciples who understood the meaning. Why is it called the last day? As it will be demonstrated in the following sections, it is the last day of this age and of the satanic government. This last day will see the destruction of the evil system of Satan and of evil men. The same day of 24 hours will also see the arrival of the new government in the person of Yahushua and of the saints changed from corruptible to incorruptible (see 5.16.1 The Change). This day of 24 hours will end the 4 th prophetic step of the period associated with the Day of Trumpets and will begin the 5th step represented by the Day of Atonement and its 2 year period of reconciliation and purification. This day of 24 hours may be common to the 2 steps and will see the transition. Here are the biblical verses which testify to it. This last day is clearly to be the day of the 1st resurrection (see 11.5.10). John 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. John 6:54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 949
John 11:24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Yahushua thus revealed that the 1st resurrection would take place on this last day. When will this last day occur on which the elect will be resurrected ? As it is deducted from the Bible, it is the last day of Satan's reign on earth before the millennial reign of Yahushua and of the saints. Thus, the last day is the end of this age or era. Matthew 24:3 And as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world [165 aion age or era]? The term which has been translated as the end of the world in most Bible versions is in fact the end of this age and not of the physical creation. It is the day when this age will end which was subjected to Satan as its head or prince. Yahushua had recognized Satan as the prince of this world and Paul had simply called Satan the Ulhim (god) or theos of this age or era. John 16:11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged (RSV). 2 Corinthians 4:4 In their case the god [theos] of this world [165 era or age] has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ [messiah Yahushua], who is the image of Creator Father. The last day is the same day on which Satan is put in prison, which ends his rule. Satan is imprisonned on the same day when the Beast and the false prophet are cast in the lake of fire. It is thus the same day when the rule of the Beast ends. The sequence of events is clearly given in Revelation. Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Yahushua, and for the word of Creator Father, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ [messiah] a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand 950
years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.
951
11.5.2 Yahushua at Zion The return of Yahushua is revealed in the Bible as being at first on the clouds at the beginning of the sound of the 7th trumpet in the 7th month (see 11.4.7 Yahushua'S Advent on Clouds). From certain biblical verses, his advent may be on the 7th day of the 7th month to gather the 144000 elect. A few days after his return on the clouds, Yahushua will arrive with the 144000 saints over Zion on the last day, the day called the Day of YHVH on the 10th day of the 7th month to battle against the nations (see 11.4.8 The 144000 on Clouds). Yahushua arrives at Zion on the clouds as the angel YHVH bearing the name of his Father YHVH (see 11.5.4 The Day of YHVH). The return of Yahushua is thus seen in 2 steps which has created much confusion among the Bible students and scholars alike. At first, his coming will be on the clouds over an unknown location and after a few days, he will come over Zion specifically for the Day of YHVH. The following verses indicate that on the same day after Yahushua has fought and conquered the nations' armies, he will set his feet on the mount of Olives bearing the name of his Father YHVH. Zechariah 14:3 Then shall YHVH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and YHVH, my El shall come, and all the saints with thee. In the sequence of the events taking place at the sound of the 7 th trumpet, we must distinguish the presence of Yahushua on the clouds. It is essential to understand that all the events will take place while Yahushua is still on the clouds with the 144000 elect (see 11.5.01 Events). Yahushua will not put his feet on the Mount of Olives before the realization of the following last events: 1) The enemy army will be destroyed at Armageddon 2) The Beast and the false prophet will be cast in the lake of fire 3) Satan will be imprisoned 4) The dead saints will be resurrected in the 1st resurrection 952
5) The live saints on earth will be gathered with the resurrected saints on the clouds 6) All the saints gathered with Yahushua and the 144000 on the clouds will be changed in a twinkling of an eye from mortal to immortal Thus, Yahushua will set his feet on the Mount of Olives with all his changed saints to establish the government of his Father Creator. We find a specific indication to place in the time frame the presence of Yahushua over Zion between the 6th and the 7th cup according to the following verses. Yahushua will be accompanied by the saints to fight the nations' armies. Revelation 16:12 And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that come from the sunrising. 13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: 14 for they are spirits of devils, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of Creator Father, the Almighty. 15 (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.) 16 And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew HarMagedon. 17 And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done: In verse 15, Yahushua gives the warning that he will come as a thief. Somewhere else, Paul confirms that the Day of YHVH comes as a thief during the night. 1Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord [day of YHVH] so cometh as a thief in the night. The text of this warning is placed just before the 7 th cup which is poured on the last day. Then, is it not evident that Yahushua will arrive over Zion for the pouring of this 7th cup on the Day of YHVH? This day will complete the destruction of Babylon and all its system.
953
11.5.3 The 144000 at Zion The 144000 saints will come to the mountain of Zion with Yahushua on the clouds. Revelation 14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. Yahushua will return to earth with an army of angels but the 144000 saints are mentioned specificaly with Yahushua to play an important role. At what moment will they come to Zion? According to the Bible and to a coherent sequence of events, they will arrive to Zion at the beginning of the last day, at the beginning of the day called the Day of YHVH which is the Day of Atonement because they will arrive with Yahushua (see 11.5.1 The Last Day and 11.5.2 Yahushua at Zion). The verse 1 above seems to say that Yahushua is standing on his feet on the Mount of Olives. Yet, the Bible asserts clearly that Yahushua will arrive with the 144000 saints on clouds before putting his feet on the ground. Revelation 19:11 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon, called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written, which no one knoweth but he himself. 13 And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of Creator Father. 14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. This armies include the angels but also the 144000 human saints because the fine linen represents the works of the saints according to the following verse. Revelation 19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Furthermore, it was prophesied that Yahushua would arrive as YHVH with his human saints. Zechariah 14:5.... YHVH, my El shall come, and all the holy ones with thee. 954
Obadiah 1:21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be YHVH’s. Yahushua is coming with some of his saints at Zion, that is, the 144000 elect. We must distinguish these live saints from the saints who will be resurrected only later, on the last day, after his arrival at Zion. Yahushua will be sitting on his white horse to fight against the army while he is still on the clouds. Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army. The following verses indeed confirm that Yahushua will fight against the nations from his horse in our earthly atmosphere, that is, on the clouds. Zechariah 14:1 Behold, a day of YHVH cometh, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished: and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then shall YHVH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azel: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and YHVH my El shall come, and all the holy ones with thee.
The 144000 will be with Yahushua on the clouds before he sets his feet on the Mount of Olives such as confirmed in verse 5 above. They will be with Yahushua because they will already have been gathered with him on the day of Yahushua's return on the clouds at the first sound of the 7 th trumpet (see 11.4.6 The 7th Trumpet). They are seen before the battle of Armagueddon because they will be with Yahushua to fight the nations at Armagueddon. Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive 955
authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour. 13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast. 14 These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they also shall overcome that are with him, called and chosen and faithful. 1 Thessalonians 3:13 to the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our Creator Father and Father, at the coming of our Lord Yahushua with all his saints. The distinguishing element with the 144000 saints which contrast with the other live saints, is their presence in flesh and blood on the clouds with Yahushua before the last day. Matthew 24:30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. The 144000 saints will be still alive on the earth as they will be taken in flesh and blood on the clouds by the angels. The other live saints will only be gathered on the clouds after the battle of Armagueddon, only after Satan will have been imprisoned and only after the 1st resurrection (see 11.5.11 The 1st Resurrection). Indeed, it is clear that other saints still alive will only be gathered on the last day with the other resurrected saints in the 1st resurrection. 1Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord [Yahushua], that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord [Yahushua], shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord [Yahushua] himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Creator Father: and the dead in Christ [messiah Yahushua] shall rise first: 17 then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord [Yahushua] in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord [Yahushua]. The above verse 17 describes the resurrected saints who rise on the clouds with the other saints gathered from the earth, proving as well that Yahushua has not yet put his feet on the ground. The saints mentionned in verse 17 above are all still living saints on the last day, on the day of the 1 st resurrection. (See 11.5.01 The Events). The 144000 live saints will be gathered in their body of flesh and 956
blood on the clouds because they will not precede the others in the change and all will be changed in a twinkling of an eye at the same time. Yahushua will put his feet on the ground only after the battle of Armagueddon and after the events which follow, that is, after the imprisonment of Satan and after the 1st resurrection which will take place at the last sound of the 7 th trumpet (see 11.5.10 The 1st resurrection). The return of Yahushua is thus described in 2 movements which has created much confusion among the Bible students and scholars alike. At first, his coming to earth will be on the clouds, possibly to circle the earth as with Jericho. A few days later, he will come to Zion specifically for the Day of YHVH. The following verses indicate that on the same day when Yahushua will fight the nations, he will put his feet on the mount of Olives bearing the name of his Father YHVH. Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of YHVH comes, ... 3 Then shall YHVH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall split in the middle thereof toward the east and toward the west, ... 5 ... and YHVH my God [Ulhim] shall come, and all the saints with you. We should note in first verse 5 above which names specifically YHVH the Ulhim who will come with his saints on the Mount of Olives. The mountain of Zion is synonymous for the city of Jerusalem. In that case, the one who will come is Yahushua bearing the name of his Father YHVH (see 6.2 The Angel of YHVH). It is not the Father YHVH who will come to the earth at this moment but indeed His son Yahushua called also YHVH like his Father. We should also note that the saints with Yahushua will be the 144000 saints who were gathered with him from his coming on the clouds at the first sound of the 7th trumpet. This is not concerning the other saints who are not resurrected yet. Thus, only the 144000 saints arrive with Yahushua on the Mountain of Zion. The 144000 also will bear the name of the Father Creator YHVH as Revelation 14 below asserts it. Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, see, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 957
These 144,000 saints will be with Yahushua over Zion before the 1 st resurrection which will arrive later on that last day. Yahushua will arrive with his 144000 saints as the verse above indicates it. The 1 st resurrection will occur only after this arrival over the mountain of Zion. Knowing that the 1st resurrection will occur only after the coming of Yahushua to Zion, it is evident that the saints who arrive with Yahushua are not the saints of the 1st resurrection but the 144000 saints who were alive and who were gathered before, at the 7th trumpet.
958
11.5.4 The Day of YHVH In the Bible, there is a day which is called the day of YHVH in more than 23 verses. The original texts say the Day of YHVH (03068 HSD). In the New Testament, it is called the day of the Lord (2962 kurios). This name Lord (2962 kurios) may in fact reveal the name YHVH in the New Testament (see 2.2.1.2 The Name Lord). That day of YHVH is described with several aspects as follows. 1) It is a day of darkness. Amos 5:18 Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD [03068 YHVH]! Why would you have the day of the LORD[03068 YHVH] ? It is darkness, and not light, 19 as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him, or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall, and a serpent bit him. 20 Is not the day of the LORD [03068 YHVH] darkness, and not light, and gloom with no brightness in it ? Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD [03068 YHVH] comes. 2) It is also a day of judgment from Father YHVH. These following verses clearly point to the war of Armageddon. Joel 3:11 Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves there. Bring down your warriors, O LORD [YHVH 03068]. 12 Let the nations stir themselves up and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. 13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the winepress is full. The vats overflow, for their evil is great. 14 Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD [YHVH 03068] is near in the valley of decision. Obadiah 1:15 For the day of the LORD [03068 YHVH] is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. 3) It is also a day of wrath from Father YHVH which will be poured in the 7 cups of the anger of Father Creator and of the Lamb during the days of the 7th trumpet. The 7th cup is shown to be poured on the day of YHVH. Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD [YHVH 03068] comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the land a desolation and to destroy its sinners from it. 959
Zephaniah 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the LORD [YHVH 03068]. In the fire of his jealousy, all the earth shall be consumed; for a full and sudden end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth. Zephaniah 2:2 before the decree takes effect before the day passes away like chaff — before there comes upon you the burning anger of the LORD [03068 YHVH], before there comes upon you the day of the anger of the LORD [03068 YHVH]. 4) This day is also a day of fasting and a holy convocation. Joel 1:14 Sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the old men and all the inhabitants of the land unto the house of the LORD [03068 YHVH] your El, and cry unto the LORD [03068 YHVH]. Joel 2:15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16 gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the old men, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. In the preceding verses, a fast is commanded with a holy convocation for the house of YHVH. This fast corresponds to the fast on the Day of Atonement. 5) It is a day of destruction. Zechariah 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Revelation 19:21 and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh. Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith YHVH of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I do make, saith YHVH of hosts. Zechariah 14:1 Behold, a day of YHVH cometh, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. Zephaniah 1:14 The great day of YHVH is near, it is near and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of YHVH; the mighty 960
man crieth there bitterly. 15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, 16 a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fenced cities, and against the high battlements. 17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against YHVH: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of YHVH’S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make an end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the land. Joel 2:1 Blow a trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD [YHVH 03068] is coming; it is near, 2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been before, nor will be again after them through the years of all generations. 3 Fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but behind them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them. By examining the verse in Acts 2:19, the text is taken from Joel 2:31, word for word by Peter concerning the return of Yahushua. Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD [03068 YHVH] comes. Acts 2:20 the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of YHVH comes, the great and magnificent day. Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. This translation above in Acts uses the word LORD [2962 kurios] while we find the word YHVH ( 03068 YHVH) in Joel 2 above. We must thus conclude that the Lord mentionned is Yahushua bearing the name of YHVH, which confirms that the angel YHVH is the son of man Yahushua (see 6.2 The Angel of YHVH). This correspondence between the word Lord (2962 kurios) and YHVH (03068 YHVH) confirms that Yahushua is called YHVH like his Father Creator and that his disciples knew the identity of Yahushua as being the angel of YHVH. The identity 961
problem is due to imperfect Bible translations and in particular of the New Testament which causes confusion. In the new testament, the day of the Lord simply means the day of YHVH (see 2.2.1.1 The Name Lord). 1Thessalonicians 5:2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] will come like a thief in the night. 2Thessalonicians 2:2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] has come. 2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. Paul, like Peter, asserts that this day will come as a thief. It is indeed what is confirmed by Yahushua himself. Revelation 16:15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) We confirm once again how the modern translations are sometimes vague and misleading, in particular as regards to the proper names identifying the entities. Besides, this day is literally of 24 hours. It is not excluded that the meaning of the day of YHVH may apply to the millenial reign of YHVH, that is, of Yahushua. The fact that the son Yahushua YHVH does perfectly the will of his Father during this millenial reign, it will be in fact the rule of the Father Creator through His son. When will it occur ? Can we place it in the chronology of the end of this evil age? What indications do we have ? 1) It is a day of darkness 2) It is a day of wrath 3) It is a day of judgment 4) It is a day of fasting 5) The wicked will be exterminated from the land in this day It would be logical to conclude that the extermination of the wicked concerns the Beast and the false prophet. This extermination will also include the complete army which will be present at Armageddon. Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague with which the LORD [03068 YHVH] will strike all the peoples that wage war against 962
Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD [03068 YHVH] shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. ...15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, as this plague. So, there is enough time during this day to carry out the following events: 1) The army is destroyed 2) Babylon is destroyed (in 1 hour) 3) The Beast and the false prophet are cast in the lake of fire 4) Satan is put in prison Also, the day of arrival to Zion corresponds to the Day of Atonement which is the last day (see 11.5.2 Yahushua at Zion and 10.8 The Day of Atonement). As we have also seen, the day of YHVH will also be the last day with the sound of the last trumpet, i.e. the 7th trumpet which will be still sounding for the 1st resurrection to occur after the battle of Armageddon and after Satan's imprisonment. Zechariah 14:3 Then shall YHVH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, … This preceding verse clearly confirms that Yahushua will set his feet on the ground on the same day when he will fight the nations. It corresponds well to the Day of Atonement which is a fast with a holy convocation when Satan is sent away to a remote place, far from human life (see 10.8 The Day of Atonement). Joel 2:15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Nevertheless, Yahushua will not set his feet before all the events of the end of this age are completed, including the 1 st resurrection and the change to immortality, which are the last 2 events before Yahushua will set his feet on the ground. In summary, the Day of YHVH is the last day of Satan's rule. It is a solemn Day of Atonement on the 10th day of the 7th month.

11.5.5 Destruction of Babylon The final and complete destruction of Babylon will be done at the pouring of the 7th cup (see 11.5.01 The Events). There are many verses about Babylon because it represents Satan's world system. Babylon is a symbol of lawlessness and rebellion. It is sometimes represented as a city, sometimes as a woman, sometimes as a system. Babylon is from the beginning of the tower of Babel, the symbol of the rebellion which will be eliminated from the earth as much physically as spiritually at the return of Yahushua. Revelation 18:1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast. 3 For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.” 4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; 5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and Father Creator has remembered her iniquities. 6 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed. 7 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning, since in her heart she says, ‘I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and mourning I shall never see.’ 8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day, death and mourning and famine, 9 And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. 10 They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, “Alas! Alas! You great city, you mighty city, Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.” 11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls. 14 “The fruit for which your soul longed has gone from you, and all your delicacies and your splendors are lost 964
to you, never to be found again!” 15 The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud, 16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! 17 For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste.” And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, “What city was like the great city?” 19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out, “Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been laid waste. 20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for Creator Father has given judgment for you against her!” 21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more; 22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will be heard in you no more, and a craftsman of any craft will be found in you no more, and the sound of the mill will be heard in you no more, 23 and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth.” Babylon had become, as a city and as a system, the refuge of unclean spirits who had taken control of the whole planet through unscrupulous men, traitors to their fellow citizens and to their nations (see 5.13 Reincarnation). That is why these people will be judged for their acts of wickedness that included genocides. Babylon will be destroyed in a single day and even in a single hour (verse 17 above). According to the relevant verses, it will be on the last day (see 11.5.1 The Last Day). YHVH's people are commanded to come out of Babylon and it means in many ways besides spiritually. Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 965
Jeremiah 51:45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of YHVH.
966
11.5.6 Armageddon Revelation 16:16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. Armageddon is the valley or the city of Megiddo where Yahushua will fight the army of the Beast and the nations. This valley is also called the valley of Jehoshaphat according to Joel 3:2 and v.12 below. This confrontation will occur 3 days after the return of Yahushua on the clouds. This battle is one of the last events in the global conflict between YHVH and Satan with his demons and his system of the satanic world order of the Beast. This battle has been prophesied in many biblical verses for a long time such as shown below. It is important to note that the verses of the old testament and the verses of the new testament tell of the same event where Yahushua is in fact YHVH, the son bearing the name of the Father Creator YHVH. This battle is also prophesied during the day of YHVH (see 11.5.4 The Day of YHVH).
Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. 13 These are of one mind and hand over their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.” It should be noted that the last verse above confirms the presence of the 144000 saints over Sion before and for the battle of Armageddon. The following verses concern the battle of Armageddon and the Day of YHVH because these 2 events are reciprocal. Indeed, YHVH (Yahushua) will fight against the nations on that day of YHVH at Armageddon. The day of YHVH is for that confrontation between Yahushua and the nations that constitute modern Babylon. Zechariah 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Revelation 19:11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The 967
Word of Creator Father. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of Father Creator the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. 17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of Father Creator, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. Joel 3:1 “For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land, 3 and have cast lots for my people, and have traded a boy for a prostitute, and have sold a girl for wine and have drunk it. 4 “What are you to me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you paying me back for something? If you are paying me back, I will return your payment on your own head swiftly and speedily. 5 For you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my rich treasures into your temples. 6 You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks in order to remove them far from their own border. 7 Behold, I will stir them up from the place to which you have sold them, and I will return your payment on your own head. 8 I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far away, for YHVH has spoken.” 9 Proclaim this among the nations: Consecrate for war; stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war 968
draw near; let them come up. 10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, “I am a warrior.” 11 Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves there. Bring down your warriors, O LORD [YHVH]. 12 Let the nations stir themselves up and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. 13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the winepress is full. The vats overflow, for their evil is great. 14 Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of YHVH is near in the valley of decision. 15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. 16 YHVH roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth quake. But YHVH is a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the people of Israel. 17 “So you shall know that I am YHVH, your El, who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall never again pass through it. Zechariah 14:2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then YHVH will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. 4 On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward. 5 And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then YHVH my El will come, and all the holy ones with him. 6 On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. 7 And there shall be a unique day, which is known to YHVH, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light. 8 On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter. 9 And YHVH will be king over all the earth. On that day YHVH will be one and his name one. Ezekiel 39:11 “On that day I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea. It will block the travelers, for there Gog and all his multitude will be buried. It will 969
be called the Valley of Hamon-gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land. 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and it will bring them renown on the day that I show my glory, declares YHVH. 14 They will set apart men to travel through the land regularly and bury those travelers remaining on the face of the land, so as to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make their search. 15 And when these travel through the land and anyone sees a human bone, then he shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog. Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague with which YHVH will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 And on that day a great panic from YHVH shall fall on them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. 14 Even Judah will fight against Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. 15 And a plague like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and whatever beasts may be in those camps. Isaiah 29:7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her, shall be like a dream, a vision of the night. 8 As when a hungry man dreams he is eating and awakes with his hunger not satisfied, or as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched, so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount Zion. As soon as the army of the enemy will be destroyed, Satan and his generals and all those who will have taken part in their world system will be imprisonned and judged (see 11.5.9 Capture of the Unclean Spirits). The old system of the world order will be destroyed and replaced by the new world order of our Father Creator YHVH which will be ruled by His son Yahushua bearing the name YHVH of his Father Creator.
11.5.7 The Beast and False Prophet cast in the Fire
970
The false prophet and the Beast will be cast alive in the lake of fire which is the 2nd death (see 11.7.3 The Lake of Fire). They will be captured at the place called Armageddon where they had gathered the armies of the earth. The false prophet is associated with religion. The Beast who acted as a king, had at his side the false prophet who deceived the world with false religion. Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. According to the literal meaning of the texts, these 2 beings will undergo the 2nd death in the lake of fire, i.e. eternal death (see 5.15 The 2nd Death). If they were human beings, they would normally be killed with the 1 st death and later resurrected in the 2nd resurrection as all human beings and the unclean spirits (see 5.14 The 1st Death). We may thus wonder if these 2 beings are unclean spirits who took cloned human bodies. However, their destruction also represents the eternal destruction of the system and concept represented by these 2 entities. In any case, this event will occur at the end of the armed conflict at Armageddon after the 7th cup of wrath was poured. This judgment confirms the elimination of all opposition to the Kingdom of YHVH. These 2 beings with Satan are the only 3 beings to be namely and specifically cast in the lake of fire. Except for these 3 beings, there are no other entities specifically named who are cast in the lake of fire which is the 2nd death. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________
971
11.5.8 Satan Imprisoned After the army will be destroyed at Armageddon and after the Beast and the false prophet will have been cast in the lake of fire, Satan will also be captured. Revelation 19:20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. Satan will be kept alive, being imprisoned for the time of the millennial reign of Yahushua. Revelation 20:1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. Satan will be imprisoned far away from the inhabitants of the earth for a period of 1000 years so that he does not deceive any more the inhabitants of the earth to rebel against the Father Creator. The day of his imprisonment is called the last day in reference to the end of 6000 years of Satan's rule (see 11.5.1 The Last Day). The millennial reign of Yahushua will be free of all unclean spirits so that the inhabitants of the earth will undergo no evil influence (11.5.9 Capture of the Unclean Spirits). They will only have the good influence of Yahushua and the saints and all his planetary system under the perfect laws and the blessings of Father Creator. Satan will not be destroyed immediately as will be the false prophet and the Beast in the lake of fire. Satan will be kept alive to return to deceive the people who lived during the millennium. These will have an opportunity to reject Satan's lies and seduction. As all other human beings who have lived before, all must be subjected to the same test, to the same temptations of rebellion. Nobody may receive immortality before having been tested in the same way and having conquered. 972
Satan will be imprisoned on the last day which is also the day of the 1st resurrection which will occur just after his imprisonment (see 11.5.10). After 1000 years, Satan will be resurrected/set free for a short time before the 2nd resurrection (see 11.7.1 The 2nd Resurrection). Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison
11.5.9 Capture of Unclean Spirits The imprisonment of Satan for 1000 years is clearly explained (see 11.5.8 Satan Imprisoned). However, in the chronology of the last days, we do not find all the details in the book of Revelation. It is in the old testament that we find some additional details. We have seen that the unclean spirits would be removed from the earth but we had no knowledge of the place where they would be held. Zechariah 13:2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith YHVH of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. In the following verse, we can see that the unclean spirits who possessed human beings and who acted among kings of the earth under Satan's orders are also imprisoned. Isaiah 24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that YHVH will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. 22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited. This verse mentions the army of heaven, i.e. the fallen angels who come from heaven and who operate now in our earthly heaven, also called the heavenly places in the following verse which are simply our earthly atmosphere where the birds fly (Genesis 1:20). Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places [1st heaven]. These authorities and these princes of darkness are unclean spirits who have 973
control and possess human beings. It is not revealed why these wicked beings are not killed immediately like the Beast and the false-prophet. We could imagine that another opportunity will be given to them later to repent. Apparently, these wicked beings will be imprisonned at first for their participation in the battle of Armageddon and the genocides on the earth. According to the actual understanding, the unclean spirits will be imprisonned until the 2nd resurrection (see 11.7 The Great Day of Addition). This is confirmed by the expression in verse 22 'after many days shall they be visited'.
974
11.5.10 The 1st Resurrection The physical resurrection is the means through which Father Creator will give life again to the dead in a new physical body (see 5.17 The Physical Resurrection). The Bible asserts that there are 2 resurrections and that the 1 st resurrection is the better. Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Yahushua and for the word of Creator Father, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ [Yahushua] for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God [Father Creator YHVH] and of Christ [Yahushua], and shall reign with Him a thousand years. It should be noted that only the dead in Yahushua will be resurrected in the 1st resurrection. Many saints will still be alive at the return of Yahushua. The living saints will instead be changed in a moment with a new birth, in a twinkling of an eye as Paul said (see 5.16.1 The Change). There must be a distinction made between the instant of the resurrection and the instant of the change from corruptible to incorruptible and from mortal to immortal. We can see this time gap of several hours after Yahushua's resurrection and before he went up to heaven to his Father to receive immortality and be changed with this new birth of the Spirit (see 5.16 Born Again, 6.4.8 His Resurrection and 10.5 The Wave Omer). 1Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Creator Father; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
975
THE TIMING OF THE 1st RESURRECTION When examining the Biblical verses concerning the 1 st resurrection, it is difficult to establish the exact moment of this resurrection in the sequence of the last days if we mix up the 2 groups of saints. In view of some apparently contradicting verses, it is necessary to do a more detailed analysis. The understanding of the related verses is made difficult because of our ignorance and due to doubtful translations. We must thus examine the hints of the Bible to form a coherent chronology. 1) Paul places the 1st resurrection just after Yahushua's return. 1Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming. 1Thessalonicians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Creator Father: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Although some say that the 1st resurrection and the descent from heaven of Yahushua are simultaneous, these 2 events are in fact separated by a few days, as it will be demonstrated in this work. 2) According to the sequence of Revelation 20 below, the 1 st resurrection will take place after the imprisonment of Satan. Revelation 20:1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of Creator Father, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ [messiah Yahushua] a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection. Besides, Satan's imprisonment is placed after a series of events prophesied in Revelation 19, of which is the destruction of the army at Armageddon and the destruction of the Beast and of the false prophet in the lake of fire (see 11.5.6 Armageddon and 11.5.7. The Beast and False Prophet cast in Fire). 976
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image: they twain were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone: 21 and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh. 3) It has been clearly established in the Bible by Yahushua himself that the 1st resurrection will take place on the last day (see 11.5.1 The Last Day). John 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. Consequently, the 1st resurrection is one of the last events to take place during that last day of 24 hours (voir 11.5.01 The Events). That day is a solemn day of Atonement which is on the 10 th day of the 7th month which will also be the prophetic Day of YHVH. Concerning the saints who are still alive at Yahushua's return, we must distinguish 2 separate groups. One of these groups is formed by the 144000 who are specifically sealed for this purpose in the 6 th seal (see 11.4.8 The 144000 on Clouds). Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed: On the last day, the other saints who will still be alive at Yahushua's return will be gathered on the clouds with those who are resurrected in the 1st resurrection. 1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Creator Father: and the dead in Christ [Yahushua] shall rise first: 17 then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to 977
meet the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH]. Paul describes what will happen on the last day when the 1 st resurrection will occur. He explains that the saints still living on the earth will be gathered and brought on the clouds with those who were just resurrected so that they may all be together with Yahushua and the 144000 on the clouds. Just after this gathering, in one moment, in a twinkling of an eye, all the saints will be changed to immortality (see 5.16.1 The Change in a Twinkling). We must not confuse with the 144000 living saints who will already have been set apart in the 6th seal and already gathered with Yahushua a few days before the 1st resurrection. The following verses are addressed to the living saints on earth at the time of his arrival on the clouds. Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh. When it is written that redemption is near, it can be deducted that it is not immediate at the sight of Yahushua on the clouds, in contrast to the 144000 who will have been gathered (in flesh and blood) immediately at the presence of Yahushua on the clouds at the 1st sound of the 7th trumpet (see 11.4.8 The 144000 on the Clouds).
11.5.11 The Mariage of the Lamb The marriage supper of the lamb with his church is symbolic of Father Creator's reconciliation to His children. Through this marriage will be accomplished the unification of a government under Father YHVH, the Only Master, the Father Creator. The head, the leader of the church is Yahushua and he comes back from heaven to gather the elect in a single family while Satan tries to divide and to lead astray all humanity from the Truth and from the perfect way. Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ [messiah Yahushua] also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it 978
should be holy and without blemish. 2Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ [messiah Yahushua]. Joel 2:16 gather the people, sanctify the assembly, assemble the old men, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he said to me, Write, Blessed are they which are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true sayings of Creator Father. Yahushua prophetised that he would drink wine in Father YHVH's kingdom. As in the wedding at Cana, he can certainly supply some good wine in the wedding supper of the Lamb. Mark 14:25 Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of Creator Father. So, Yahushua will receive his new wife who will have been spiritually born again after the 1st resurrection on the Day of Atonement, just like Adam received his new wife Eve after her formation as an adult woman. The marriage supper of the lamb will be a great feast which will be held after the Day Atonement at the following Feast of Tents which will be the opportunity for this wedding. According to Father YHVH's law, the new bridegroom is exempted from going to war and from activities away from home for one year to remain with his wife to make her happy. We could assume that the 1st year of this marriage will be particular for the elect in the context of this particular law.
979
11.5.12 The Death Penalty There is a concept which is applicable to the wicked men at the return of Yahushua. We find several verses which prophecy the application of the capital punishment for many individuals guilty of rebellion and serious crimes. Revelation 19:15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of Creator Father the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. 17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of Father Creator, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” Revelation 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Already, at the battle of Armageddon, there will be thousands of soldiers who will be killed (see 11.5.6 Armageddon). Zechariah 14:1 Behold, a day of YHVH cometh, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 7 but it shall be one day which is known unto YHVH; not day, and not night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light. Zechariah 12:8 In that day shall YHVH defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as El, as the angel of YHVH before them. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Soon after his return, Yahushua will make a judgment of the survivors on earth separately from the captured kings and unclean spirits. He will determine who will live to see the millenial paradise and to attend the wedding supper of the Lamb and who will be quickly executed. 980
Matthieu 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ... 41 Then shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Those who abused, persecuted and killed the poor will be punished with death. Psalm 109:16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. Those who polluted and destroyed the earth will be destroyed also. Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you should give reward to your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth. Furthermore, in terms of parables, Yahushua announced these capital executions for his enemies after his return. Matthew 21:33 “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. 37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.” 981
Matthew 22:1 And again Jesus [Yahushua] spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, 5 But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Luke 19:26 ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 27 But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’ ” In terms of prophecies, we find many other verses which announce the capital punishment. Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith YHVH of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, saith YHVH of hosts. Revelation 19:17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of Creator Father, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. Revelation 1:16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his 982
mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, Revelation 18:8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day, death and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Lord Father Creator who has judged her.” We could wonder; who are the enemies of Yahushua? Are they not the rich and powerful individuals members of a superior elite in complicity with Satan who masterfully deceived the rest of humanity? Are there not on this earth many individuals who have never received the knowledge of the Truth, without voluntary fault of their part? Yahushua can judge in the Truth among all the human beings found alive on earth at his return.
983
11.5.13 The Great Exodus The prophetic fulfillment of the Day of Atonement, as the 5 th step of the plan of salvation, will begin the process of atonement and reconciliation of the nation of Israel. This day is justly called the Great Forgiveness by some. This process of reconciliation over a period of 2 years will include the restoring of the 12 tribes of Israel in their ancestral lands. The sound of the shofar in the Day of Atonement announces the 7th sabbatical year, a year of rest for the ground in the land cycle (see 9.5 The Land Cycle and its Sabbath). The year of Jubilee is also a law which allows all individuals from all tribes to return to their ancestral lands and regain its possession (see 9.6 The Year of Jubilee). In both years, it is a year of rest of the ground that will begin on the Day Atonement. It will be the opportunity of the great exodus which will allow to move and to return all the descendants of every tribe in their ancestral lands in Israel or elsewhere. This great new world exodus will make the ancient exodus of Egypt look small. Jeremiah 16:14 Therefore, behold, the days come, said YHVH, that it shall no more be said, YHVH lives, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15 But, YHVH lives, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers. Isaiah 66:20 And they shall bring all your brothers for an offering to YHVH out of all nations on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, said YHVH, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of YHVH. 21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, said YHVH. This great exodus thus precedes the Feast of Tents which will be celebrated 2 years after this famous Day of Atonement. During this sabbatical year, the survivors of the tribes of Israel will definitively be settled in their ancestral lands to enjoy the blessings promised by the Father Creator to Abraham and to his descendants. According to Father Creator's laws, the year of jubilee is the occasion for the restoring of the tribes in their ancestral lands. Is this period inevitably the year of jubilee ?
984
11.6 The Feast of Tents- 6th step The Feast of Tents represents symbolicaly the Good News of the Kingdom of YHVH which will finally be accomplished on earth as the 6th step of the plan. It will be Yahushua's 1000 year rule on earth with the saints and the millenial paradise. The commanded period of 7 days of the annual solemnity called the Feast of Tents or Tabernacles prefigures the implementation of the just government of Yahushua on earth. As the rejoicing at the Feast of Tents allowed an annual respite from this evil world, Yahushua's millenial rule will cause all peoples to benefit from the peaceful life that the Father Creator had planned and wanted since the beginning with Adam and Eve. Following the 2 years of the atonement period for cleansing of the earth, settling the peoples, teaching, reconciliation, the official inauguration of the just government will begin at the Feast of Tents on the day of its prophetic accomplishment. All the families of the tribes of Israel will already be settled in their ancestral territories from the preceding great exodus during the period of the prophetic Day of Atonement (see 11.5 The Day of Atonement). That is a Good News after the distress of the last days which we experience today. The distress will worsen to the point that the days will be shortened to save the elect alive. This just government of Father YHVH will cause a paradise on earth similar to that of Eden in the beginning because the earth will receive great blessings during that period (see 11.6.3 The Millenial Paradise). The creation will be cleansed and exempt from all evil influence from the unclean spirits and Satan who will be imprisoned far from human beings during the millennium (see 11.5.8 Satan Imprisonned and 11.5.9 Capture of the Unclean Spirits). This 1000 year period will clearly demonstrate the fruits of obedience at a very high level which has never been seen before in the history of humanity. The descendants of Israel living on earth in flesh and blood will receive the Holy Spirit and will be able to live according to the new covenant by having the laws of the Father YHVH written in their heart and in their spirit (see 3.2 The New Covenant). Joel 2:28 “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Hebrew 8:8 For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord [2962 kurios YHVH] , when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, According to these verses, the Holy Spirit will be granted to the House of Israel mainly. From the Bible, we can conclude that certain nations would be left without the Holy Spirit during the millennium. However, considering that all evil 985
demonic influences will be absent, we can understand that nations will be subjected to the king Yahushua Yehovah who will rule these nations with a rod of iron. Revelation 12:5 She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron... Certain nations will play an important role at the end of the millennium to accomplish the prophecies (see 13.8 Gog and Magog). Will the preceding period of 2 years be sufficient time to build the temple described by Ezekiel ? With the help of Yahushua's miraculous power from the Father YHVH, that is possible. Thus, Yahushua may receive the representatives of the nations in Jerusalem. The construction during the sabbatical year is allowed because the sabbath rest is applicable only to the earth and not to men (see 9.5 The Land Cycle and its Sabbath). During the sabbatical year and the year of jubilee, the peoples will benefit from the food from the previous triple harvests. Thus, this Feast of Tents will not lack any food set aside from the 6th year.
11.6.1 The Good News What is this Good News ? Certainly, there are numerous promises from our Father Creator YHVH El which are all of good news. We all need to hear the Good News in our lives because the world is at present filled with bad news which are the birth pains predicted by Yahushua. The Good News announced by Yahushua is the establishment of the kingdom of YHVH on Earth, i.e. of the Just Government. Matthew 4:23 And Yahushua went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Matthew 9:35 Then Yahushua went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Mark 1:15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of 986
Creator Father is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." Luke 4:43 but He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of Creator Father to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent. Luke 8:1 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of Creator Father. And the twelve were with Him, Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of Creator Father and the name of Jesus Christ [Yahushua messiah], both men and women were baptized. This 1000 year kingdom is one of the important steps of the plan of salvation / creation of our Father YHVH. The paradisiac state which will result on Earth from this 1000 year kingdom will serve as an example and also as a proof that the observance of the Laws of YHVH is unarguably beneficial and essential to have a prosperous life. The establishment of this paradise on Earth constitutes the Good News after approximately 6000 years of sufferings and the rule of the unclean spirits. It is after these 1000 years of perfect administration that the final step will be carried out for humanity, i.e. eternal salvation, i.e. perfect life in immortality. Indeed, it is the will of our Father YHVH that all His children accept His offer of life. 1Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of Creator Father our Savior, Contrary to the teachings of the so-called Christian churches, the Good News is not limited to salvation with immortality. The Good News is the establishment of the kingdom of the Father YHVH according to His perfect Laws, not only for 1000 years but for all the eternity. It is Yahushua who received Father YHVH's power to remove all wickedness on Earth and to establish this Government. Matthew 24:30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. James 5:8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord [Yahushua YHVH] is at hand. Yahushua will returns to establish a paradise, i.e. to restore the garden of the Father Creator YHVH El which was formerly in Eden. Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Ezekiel 36:33 ‘Thus says YHVH: "On the day that I cleanse you 987
from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt. 34 "The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. 35 "So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ 36 "Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, YHVH, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, YHVH, have spoken it, and I will do it." 37 ‘Thus says YHVH: "I will also let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do this for them: I will increase their men like a flock. 38 "Like a flock offered as holy sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem on its feast days, so shall the ruined cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they shall know that I am YHVH."’" Isaiah 11:6 "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. The Good News also consists in populating the earth with men and animals devoid of all wickedness. It is not a paradise in heaven as claimed by the false doctrines. The word paradise comes from Greek 3857 paradeisos, meaning a place such as a peaceful and restful park containing beautiful trees, a garden filled with beauties of creation. Revelation 2:7 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of Creator Father."’ . We know that the tree of life was in the garden of Eden on earth at the beginning (see 5.18 The Tree of Life). Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground YHVH God [ Ulhim] made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But the access to this garden was closed for Adam and his offspring until the day when this garden will again be opened to men. Revelation 22:2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. This tree of life will be accessible on earth in the city of the king Yahushua. Nations will be healed from its leaves but this tree contrary to popular beleifs does not give immortality but only continuous life (see 5.5 Continuous Life). The elect receive immortality through the seed of the Father YHVH, the Holy Spirit. Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

11.6.2 The Kingdom of YHVH The kingdom of YHVH that Yahushua came to announce is in fact the government of the Father Creator on earth with His son Yahushua as the king of kings and the resurrected/changed saints as kings under him. This is the Good news that he preached at his first advent and the answer to the prayer that he taught (your kingdom come) (see 11.6.1 The Good News). Luke 4:43 And he said to them, I must preach the kingdom of Creator Father to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.; because it is for it that I was sent. Luke 9:2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of Creator Father, and to heal the sick. Luke 9:11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of Creator Father, and healed them that had need of healing. On his second advent, Yahushua, also called YHVH, will come to earth at the 7th trumpet to establish the just government, that is, the Kingdom of Father Creator YHVH on earth which is described as a perfect paradise (see 11.6.3 Millenial Paradise). Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ [messiah Yahushua], and he shall reign forever and ever.” As we saw in the Bible, several events occur at each of the 7 seals, at each of the 7 trumpets and finally, at each of the 7 cups. There will be a perfect government on earth having access to prosperity. The men chosen by the Father Creator, will occupy their position during Yahushua's millenial reign. Revelation 1:6 And has made us kings and priests to Creator Father and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Revelation 5:10 And have made us to our Creator Father kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. The people will receive Father YHVH's blessings through their king Yahushua. We shall have known the human governments which abused their fellow countrymen. We shall finally know a perfect government which will rule in justice, in truth and in the love of his fellow countrymen. Even more, imagine, the king Yahushua who will reign with power, is the one who loved us to the point to die for us. Under Yahushua as king, we shall find as rulers all those who were chosen for the 1st resurrection with immortality. These will be placed as guides, guards, mayors, governors, kings, because they will be transformed by the Holy Spirit with the knowledge of Father YHVH's laws but especially with Father's perfect will in all things (see 5.16 Born again). 990
Isaiah 30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; thou shalt weep no more; he will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear, he will answer thee. 20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers; As judges and teachers over the people under Yahushua, these transformed human beings will not have hidden self-interest nor be attracted by the love of money nor ambitions of power as we see in this present evil world. The human beings who will remain alive in flesh and blood mortals after the tribulations, will be guided and educated in the knowledge of the Father Creator YHVH and His laws. Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of YHVH, as the waters cover the sea. They will live on the earth which will be blessed and filled with blessings and will become like the garden of Eden (see 11.6.4.0 The Millenial Paradise). The temple in Jerusalem will allow all nations to give honor to the king Yahushua at the annual solemnities. The only True Creator Father YHVH is the Supreme Master of His creation. He alone gives life. At present, He directs the Creation thanks to a central government formed with His son Yahushua and the angels who are faithful to his will. As a great disciplined army, every angel has his place in the order of his government. He maintains all the planetary systems and all living systems in functioning order according to His power and His infinite wisdom. Through his perfect obedience in his angelic life and in his human life, Yahushua was established as the king under his Father Creator. At his resurrection, he became the commander-in-chief of the angelic army and of all the creation under his Father Creator YHVH. Everything is governed according to the explicit permanent will of the Supreme Father Creator except for a limited period of time when He allowed a temporary rebellion. He allowed Satan and a third of the angels and all the humanity to sin and to learn the hard lesson from sin (11-.03.5 The Great Lesson). Once the rebellion is eliminated and the reconciliation is completed with His creation and His children, Father Creator YHVH will establish His perfect will in obedience through the Holy Spirit. Then, Father Creator will proceed with the rest of His plan of creation which is still unknown to His children. His son and all His children will then be used as instruments and\or extension of Himself to continue the creation in all the expanding universe. The hierarchy of the government of Father YHVH is clearly established in the Bible. 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ [messiah Yahushua]; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ [messiah Yahushua] is 991
Creator Father.
992
11.6.3 The Millenial Temple There will be a temple built during Yahushua's 1000 year reign. There is a detailled description of that temple where the nations' representative will come to prosternate before Yahushua called YHVH as Father YHVH's son and representative. Ezekiel prophecies and describes these things and events. Ezekiel 45:17 And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons [intercalary days], and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel. Ezekiel 46:3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before YHVH in the sabbaths and in the new moons [intercalary days]. Ezekiel 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the middle of them for ever more. 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yes, I will be their El, and they shall be my people. 28 And the heathen shall know that I YHVH do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the middle of them for ever more.

11.6.4.0 The Millenial Paradise The following sections cover different aspects of the earthly paradise which will result from the reign of Yahushua and the saints on this earth. This reign of 1000 years is finally the good news of the kingdom or government of Father Creator YHVH on earth. The prophetic fulfillment of the Feast of Tents is the 6 th step in the plan of salvation which will cause a real paradise on earth. The observance of the laws of the Father Creator YHVH will cause a real paradise on earth because it will bring great blessings on the earth. The Bible describes many a time a paradise on earth. Peace and prosperity will prevail under the just government of the Father Creator with messiah Yahushua as the king of the earth. According to the perfect plan of our Father Creator YHVH, this purpose will soon be reached after the return of Yahushua on earth. When Yahushua was dying on the stake, he promised to the criminal next to him that he would be with him in paradise, Yahushua was saying that this man would be one day in paradise on earth under the government of his Father YHVH. Luke 23:43 Yahushua said to him, Truly I say to you To day, shall you be with me in paradise. During 3 days and 3 nights, messiah was really dead because he was resurrected on the 3rd day like Jonah (see 6.4.8 His Resurrection and 11.02.6 Jonas' Sign). The spirit of Yahushua and of the thief indeed returned to the Father Creator after their death but not as conscious entities but in an unconscious sleep until the resurrection (see 5.14 The 1st Death). During the week of the 7 millennial days, the first 6000 years represented 6 days of hard labours and of rebellion of Satan with one third of the angels and of all humanity (see 9.10 in The Millenial Day). In contrast, the 7 th millennial day represents a peaceful rest of the spirit enjoyed during the weekly 7 th day Sabbath and the 7th annual rest of the land. This paradise on earth during almost 1000 years will be the demonstration of what our Father Creator YHVH had prepared from the beginning with the application of His laws. Indeed, after this 7th millennium of obedience to His laws under Yahushua, the whole humanity will be able to compair before and after. The sufferings and mortality during 6000 years of rebellion will be contrasted to the paradise which will take place on earth with 1000 years of obedience to the laws of the Father Creator YHVH. The resurrected and\or changed saints will reign with Yahushua during these 1000 years. Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushua, and for the word of Creator Father, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ [Yahushua] a thousand years. The Bible is clear that the millenial reign of Yahushua will be on earth and not in 995
heaven as some claim. The messiah Yahushua came the 1st time for his sacrifice as the Passover Lamb of the Father Creator YHVH. He will return soon a 2nd time as the king to remove all wickedness and to establish the kingdom of his Father Creator on the earth. He will return to save the elect alive, as the creation of the Father YHVH, otherwise no single human being would survive. Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. The millenial reign of Yahushua will begin after his return. The official inauguration and the establishment of the just government will occur after the atonement period depicted by the prophetic Day of Atonement. Thus, several actions will be carried out during the 2 year period to set up this just government in all the earth with all its human subjects and priesthood. When all things will be in place, it will be the official beginning of the government or kingdom of the Father Creator YHVH on earth, a kingdom which will never end. Luke 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Yahushua prophecied that he will drink wine again with his disciples in this paradise on earth. Matthew 26:29 I say it to you, I shall not drink any more henceforth this fruit of the vineyard, until the day when I shall drink it of the new with you in the kingdom of my Father. The subjects of the kingdom will be mortal human beings of flesh and blood whereas the government will consist of the saints made immortal in flesh and in bone just like Yahushua (see 5.10 The Flesh). The earth will become a paradise like in the beginning with Adam and Eve. Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatted calf together; and a little child shall lead them. People will be healed from all disease and will live continuously during the millenium. Indeed, we can easily believe that nobody will die during this millenium because of the good care from the watchers and the healing available from the tree of life (see 5.18 The Tree of Life). If Adam lived 930 years under Satan's reign, we can believe that life will continous under the reign of Yahushua. Revelation 22:2 In the middle of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bore twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. People will be taught of the laws of the Father Creator so that they will live by them (see 8. YHVH's Laws). This will probably begin at the reading of the law just after Yahushua's return during the atonement period. Isaiah 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, to the house of the El of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for 996
out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of YHVH from Jerusalem. The weekly Sabbath and the intercalary days (translated as new moons) will be observed as solemn days and holy convocations. Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon [intercalary day] to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, said YHVH. Ezekiel 46:1 Thus said YHVH; The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon [intercalary day] it shall be opened.

11.6.4.1 Yahushua's Reign (Rev. December 20, 2014) Yahushua was chosen by the Father Creator to reign on the earth during 1000 years with the saints, following his personal sacrifice as the Passover atoning lamb. Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushua, and for the word of Creator Father, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ [Yahushua] a thousand years. Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of Creator Father and of Christ [Yahushua], and shall reign with him a thousand years. Those who will have part in the 1 st resurrection will also be part of the Government with Yahushua, the king. They will be kings and will reign during 1000 years under Yahushua who is under the Father Creator YHVH. Peace will prevail on earth because all spiritual opposition will be absent. Indeed, Satan will have been put in prison and the unclean spirits also, thus kept far away from human beings who will be able to live in peace, without any evil influence (see 11.5.8 Satan Imprisonned). Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. The reign of Yahushua will only be apparently restricted after 1000 years to allow Satan's last deception. Indeed, Satan will be freed to tempt the inhabitants of the earth before the 2nd general resurrection. The guardians or kings responsible of the inhabitants of the earth will withdraw to let the people act freely and to let Satan tempt humanity who will have enjoyed a millenium of peace. Apparently, Satan will succeed in seducing again a great number of people.
998
11.6.4.2 YHVH's Laws (Rev. December 20, 2014) All of Father YHVH's laws will be applied in all the earth by all during the 7th millenium. The government of Yahushua will have the job of instructing the people in these laws by establishing guardians or kings responsible for different peoples in different cities. Isaiah 30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left. Luke 19:17 And he said to him, Well, you good servant: because you have been faithful in a very little, have you authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord [2962 kurios YHVH], your pound has gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be you also over five cities. After some time, all will know the only True Creator Father YHVH and His Laws. Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of YHVH, as the waters cover the sea. Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know YHVH: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, said YHVH: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. All will know Father YHVH's laws. Isaiah 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, to the house of the Father Creator of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of YHVH from Jerusalem. Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, said YHVH, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their El, and they shall be my people.
999
John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of Creator Father. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to me. The chosen people will finally obey their Creator Father YHVH during the millenium where the resurrected king David will be again a king to reign over the repentant people. Ezekiel 37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their El. 24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. It is thanks to a new spirit and a new heart coming from Father Creator that the people of flesh will finally obey. Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: 20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their El.

11.6.4.3 The Annual Solemnities The solemnities or annual Feasts of Father YHVH will be observed during the millenium by all the nations of the earth (see 10. The Solemnities of YHVH). Any nation who will refuse to celebrate these solemnities, will be punished with severe plagues and with the lack of rain in their seasons. These solemnities include the days of the weekly Sabbath and the intercalary days (translated as new moon). Zechariah 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, YHVH of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 17 And it shall be, that whoever will not come up of all the families of the earth to Jerusalem to worship the King, YHVH of hosts, even on them shall be no rain. 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, with which YHVH will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles [tents]. Ezekiel 36:38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am YHVH. Isaiah 33:20 Look on Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon [intercalary day] to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, said YHVH. Ezekiel 46:1 Thus said YHVH; The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon [intercalary day] it shall be opened. Even Passover will be celebrated during the millenium. Ezekiel 45:21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 22 And on that day shall the 1001
prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering. 23 And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to YHVH, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.
1002
11.6.4.5 Marriage The will be 2 types of individuals during the millennium in Father YHVH's kingdom. The first type will be the human beings in flesh and blood who are going to repopulate the earth through the normal human reproduction. This first group will live on the earth as subjects of Father YHVH's Kingdom and not part of the immortal heirs. 1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Creator Father; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. These human beings, some of them being our physical descendants, will get married and will procreate to repopulate the earth under Yahushua's reign. Thus, these people will get married to form families according to Father YHVH's laws. Ezekiel 36:11 And I will multiply on you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better to you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am YHVH. The second type corresponds to those who will have received immortality in their redeemed and changed body on the last day. These flesh and bones individuals will be a part of the government of Father YHVH, that is, they will have inherited Father YHVH's Kingdom, as Yahushua inherited the Kingdom from his resurrection. The elct will not get physically married in a traditional marriage as Yahushua explained but instead the elect will be spiritually married to Yahushua (see 11.5.11 Marriage of the Lamb). Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of Creator Father in heaven. Luke 20:34 Yahushua answering said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Is the following verse a possibility of polygamy during the millenium ? Isaiah 4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one 1003
man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach. Will the number of surviving men after the battle of Armageddon be insufficient for the surviving virgins and widows ? Are these 7 women asking this man in marriage ? Will he chose one and leave the othere 6 to remain alone ? For strict necessity, polygamy may be acceptable during the beginning of the millenium for the women and men of flesh and blood (see 8.2.7.3 Polygamy). In any case, Father YHVH's laws will be in effect and applied for all, so that if details of the law are misunderstood today, everything will be clear at that time.
1004
11.6.4.6 The Priesthood During the millenium under Yahushua's reign, there will be several classes of priesthood. The elect as spiritual priests will have a superior function over the human priests such as the Levites who will again be in office in the temple. The book of Ezekiel explains these things in details and numerous verses confirm it. Ezekiel 44:15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me, and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, said YHVH. Isaiah 66:20 And they shall bring all your brothers for an offering to YHVH out of all nations on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, said YHVH, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of YHVH. 21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, said YHVH. Isaiah 61:6 But you shall be named the Priests of YHVH: men shall call you the Ministers of our El: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves. Exodus 19:6 And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel. 1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; Revelation 1:6 And has made us kings and priests to Creator Father and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Revelation 5:10 And have made us to our Creator Father kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of Creator Father and of Christ [Yahushua], and 1005
shall reign with him a thousand years.
1006
11.6.4.7 The Nature of Animals The nature of animals will be changed during the millenium to become docile and totally inoffensive. Ezekiel 34:25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. The animals which can now be ferocious and dangerous, will then be harmless, even for the young children. Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatted calf together; and a little child shall lead them. 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of YHVH, as the waters cover the sea.
1007
11.6.4.8 The Land of Israel Father YHVH's promises concern Israel not only as a people but also as a country and a region of the earth (see 13.2 Israel). These promises will be accomplished in a country filled with blessings. Salvation with immortality will take place in Israel which will become an earthly physical paradise. The city of Jerusalem is also included. Isaiah 46:13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory. Isaiah 33:20 Look on Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. Isaiah 51:3 For YHVH shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of YHVH; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Ezekiel 47:13 Thus said YHVH; This shall be the border, whereby you shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions. 14 And you shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you for inheritance. Ezekiel 36:33 Thus said YHVH; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built. 34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. 35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. 36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I YHVH build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I YHVH have spoken it, and I will do it. The country will be shared between all the tribes of Israel. All chapter 48 of Ezekiel specifies the distribution and the dimensions of the lots and the territories assigned to each tribe and to the prince in the land of Israel. There are many details which are found in the Bible. The city of Jerusalem has an important place in Father YHVH's plan. For some reason, Father Creator has chosen this city as the centre of His government. It is also called Zion or the mountain of Zion. It is there that Father YHVH's temple will be established and where Yahushua will reign over the earth during 1000 years as king of the earth. He is and will be called YHVH like his Father Creator YHVH. 2Kings 19:31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of YHVH of hosts shall do this. 2Kings 21:4 And he built altars in the house of YHVH, of which 1008
YHVH said, In Jerusalem will I put my name. 2Chronicles 7:16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. Psalms 78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. Psalms 132:13 For YHVH has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation. 14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 2Kings 19:31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of YHVH of hosts shall do this. Psalms 2:6 Yet have I set my king on my holy hill of Zion. Psalms 48:1 Great is YHVH, and greatly to be praised in the city of our El, in the mountain of his holiness. 2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psalms 48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your judgments. Psalms 74:2 Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old; the rod of your inheritance, which you have redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein you have dwelled. It is there that Yahushua will return to establish his government. Out of Zion will come out the Law. Zechariah 14:3 Then shall YHVH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall split in the middle thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. Isaiah 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, to the house of the El of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of YHVH from Jerusalem. Micah 4:2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, and to the house of the El of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of YHVH from Jerusalem. Ezekiel 36:38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am YHVH. 1009
Isaiah 33:20 Look on Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. We can then understand the attraction for the city of Jerusalem to Satan and his generals who want to take it. The final attack will in fact be made on Jerusalem and the enemy's army will be destroyed in the valley of Armageddon on the last day (see 11.5.7 Armageddon). The city of Jerusalem will be inhabited in happiness and peace and health. Zechariah 8:3 Thus said YHVH; I am returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of YHVH of hosts the holy mountain. 4 Thus said YHVH of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. 5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. 6 Thus said YHVH of hosts; If it be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes? said YHVH of hosts. 7 Thus said YHVH of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; 8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the middle of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their El, in truth and in righteousness.
