Why would the authors of the Synoptic Gospels insist that Yom Yahweh had come – and then deny it? Why does John’s Gospel deny that Elijah, and thus Yom Yahweh, had come – making the others, especially Luke, out to be liars - only to allude to it in obscure fashion? Why would all four Gospels insist that Yahweh had come, even though John denies that Yom Yahweh had come... when the expectations inherent to Yom Yahweh palpably failed to materialise? And why are we, 1900 years later, still expected to subscribe to this divergent theory, in spite of the Bible being available for more than 400 years and Yahweh having denied that He had come and is yet to come?

There has to be a false prophet.

The problem seems to have originated with Mark, who first introduced Yahweh. The other authors recognised this and, using his story as source material, elaborated upon the various themes found therein. To take the question further:

Why and how did Mark come to believe what he wrote - some forty years after the fact? Did he act alone in his rhetorical opening gambit - the introduction? It seems to be his own theology and not a word of mouth tradition, as much of the content of the Gospels appear to be. OR DID HE HAVE A MENTOR? Was he someone else’s disciple?

If 2 Jesus is the Prophet of whom Moses spoke the word of Yahweh when he said:

Deut.18:18 “I will raise up a prophet like you from among their brothers; I

will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them

everything I command him...”

and every prediction he made has come true, pending Yom Yahweh, the coming of the Son of Man Messiah and the restoration of Israel... WHO THEN IS THE FALSE PROPHET of whom Moses also spoke?

Deut.18:20 “But a prophet who presumes to speak in My name anything I

have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in

the name of other gods, must be put to death.”

:21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message

has not been spoken by Yahweh?”

:22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of Yahweh does not

take place or come true, that is a message Yahweh has not

spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be

afraid of him”

The gravest, and most pathological contradiction in the New Testament appears on the same page of my Bible - a contest between the two prophets of Moses:

2 Jesus: “Are you going to restore the kingdom of Israel at this time?”

“It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His

own authority” (Acts 1:6,7) (Yom Yahweh remains fully in the future.)

Peter: “In the last days,” says Yahweh, “I will pour out My Spirit on all

people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will

see visions, your old men will dream dreams...”(Acts 2:17) (Yom Yahweh has fully come)

Peter is quoting the Prophet Joel on a day of Pentecost. We will do a comparative study of Joel and see how the prophecy is misquoted, omitted and inverted by Peter. Nevertheless, what Peter is saying is in fact: (This will become evident as our study continues)

Yahweh says the Last Days kingdom of Israel has been restored, never to

be shamed again, that He is in the midst of Israel in His Sanctuary and

now the Holy Spirit has come - according to the prophet Joel - at the

conclusion of Yom Yahweh. And after the Spirit...(again) Yom Yahweh.

(Acts 2:16 – 21, Joel 2:26 - 32, and Joel 3:17) (Yahweh says Yom Yahweh has

fully come... yet future??????)

Every serious student of prophecy had the right to expect the Acharit Hayemim Latter Days Kingdom described by Isa. 2:1-5 and by Joel 2:26-27 to have come to pass.

EVERYTHING THAT 2 JESUS HAD SAID CAME TRUE. HISTORY IS THE WITNESS.

NOTHING THAT PETER SAID THAT GOD HAD SAID - THROUGH JOEL IN TERMS OF YOM YAHWEH - HAS COME TO PASS.

PETER HAS CALLED 2 JESUS A LIAR TO HIS FACE... YET THE CHURCH OF 2000 YEARS HAS CHOSEN TO BELIEVE PETER AT THE EXPENCE OF YESHUA - AND HAVE PAID THE PRICE FOR IT.

Jesus did say the Spirit would come upon them to be his witnesses - to bring Torah to the world in terms of Yahweh’s promise to Abraham. HOWEVER, THIS OUTPOURING IS NOT YET THE FINAL CLIMAX FOR THE PEOPLE AND KINGDOM OF ISRAEL. as predicted by Joel.

The Church of 2000 years has chosen to believe Peter at the expense of 2 Jesus. It believes the kingdom of Israel has been fully restored, a “kingdom” which now resides in the Church itself which has become “Spiritual Israel”. All three its Foundational Creeds - Apostolic, Nicean and Athenasian - testify to this. At the return of Jesus he will “judge the living and the dead”. This is the event of Rev.20:11 - The Great White Throne Judgment - which the Church, on account of Peter, associates with a future “Yom Yahweh” (see shortly). This notion places the Church - and the world - in an impossible, present thousand-year “Kingdom of peace” of Rev.20:1-10, which has to be the Kingdom of Israel.

The Church has equally called 2 Jesus a liar for denying that Israel’s kingdom had been restored and is on an unavoidable collision course with him. It is the result of the subtle changing of the set times.

2 Jesus has one who supports him in that inside circle, namely Ya’akov, James, the leader of the first, Torah observant, Jewish Church, who interprets prophecy correctly.

Acts 15:13 When they finished, James spoke up: “Brothers, listen to me.

:14 Simon has described to us how God at first showed His concern

by taking from the Gentiles a people for Himself.

:15 The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is

written (from Amos 9:11,12);

:16 ‘After this I (Yahweh) will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent.

Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,

:17 That the remnant of men may seek Yahweh, and all the

Gentiles who bear My name, says Yahweh, who does these

things...’

“After...” the Gentiles have come in. This is James’s interpretation of what Amos said, which was:

Amos 9 :11 “In THAT DAY I (Yahweh) will restore David’s fallen tent”

:15 “I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted

from the land I have given them,” says Yahweh your Elohim.

(It says exactly the same as Joel 2:26,27 - in the future)

James recognises that Israel is to be restored in that future Day of Yahweh - after the Gentiles have come in (to the religion of Israel) in exactly the same way as 1 Paul had shown in Rom.11:25. This is also the position of 2 Jesus: Israel’s kingdom would be “delayed”.

The contradiction comes in the above statement by James, at the great Synod of Jerusalem - some 20 years after Peter had quoted Yahweh as having said that the fallen tent of David had previously been restored, according to Joel (2:26,27 as will be seen) and that the Spirit had come, which is a function of Yom Yahweh. Furthermore, Simon (Peter), whom he quotes, does not object to James’s contra-statement. They do not seem to have noticed the severe contradictions and neither does Luke, the scribe, who recorded all of it.

James thus sees Yom Yahweh in the future while Peter, by invoking Joel, had called on Yom Yahweh previously, and then presented it in an unrecognisable futuristic manner - also in his Second Epistle.

It is vitally important to note that both James (Acts.15, Amos 9) and 1 Paul (Rom. 11, Isa.59) see Israel and the Gentiles as separate prophetic entities. Neither would condone the Gentile Church’s position that it has become “Spiritual Israel” at the expense of Israel proper. Neither would furthermore agree that the “New Covenant” had come at the expense of the “Old Covenant”, as 2 Paul and the author of Hebrews contend.

Let us look at how Peter had utterly misrepresented the Prophecy of Joel... and how this misrepresentation manifests itself... in the Gospel of Mark.

At this point you should carefully read through the Prophecy of Joel - all three chapters - and find the key to unraveling the mystery. The entire prophecy concerns the Yom Yahweh - Day of the Lord. The first chapter reveals its preceding hardships. Chapter two speaks of its cataclysmic tribulation - and then repentance, restoration, Yahweh’s singular irrevocable presence and - after that - the outpouring of the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit). Chapter three expands on the theme - Yahweh’s retribution on Israel’s enemies, His presence in His Sanctuary in their midst and His blessing on the restored kingdom of Israel.

The central theme of this prophecy is a mirror image of Ezekiel 39:

Ezek. 39:8 “...This is the DAY I have spoken of”

:25-29 Return, restoration, blessing and... the Holy Spirit

on the restored kingdom of Israel.

Here is a comparative study of what Joel had said and how Peter presented it:

Joel 2:27 Acts 2:16

“Then you will know that I (Yahweh) No. This is what was spoken of by

am in Israel, that I am Yahweh your the prophet Joel...

Elohim, and that there is NO OTHER:

Never again will My people be shamed.”

Joel 2:28 Acts 2:17

“AFTER THAT (THEREAFTER or “In the last days,” GOD SAYS, “I will

AFTERWARDS), I (Yahweh and no pour out My Spirit on all people (now

other) will pour out My Spirit on all the gentiles). Your sons and daughters

flesh (of restored Israel). Your sons and will prophecy, your young men will see

daughters will prophecy, your old men visions, your old men will dream

will dream dreams, your young men will dreams.” (The Charismatic Church)

see visions.”

After what? After the restoration of the kingdom of Israel, which 2 Jesus had placed somewhere in the unknown future. The term “After that” is a non-negotiable, indispensable, qualifying key statement, which requires full compliance of the preceding matter (the restoration of Israel with Yahweh in their midst) for the following (outpouring of the Holy Spirit) to take place. By omitting “After that”, Peter has made the context unrecognisable. On the other hand, by quoting God as saying that the “acharit hayemim - latter days” have come in the context of the prophecy of Joel, Peter is, in fact, saying that God says that He (Yahweh) is in Israel, that they know it, that there is no other and that Israel’s kingdom has permanently been restored - Yom Yahweh having fully come. And now... the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

2 Jesus knows nothing about this!

Joel 2:29 Acts 2:18

“Even on My servants, both men and “Even on My servants, both men and

women, I will pour out My Spirit in women, I will pour out My Spirit in

those days.” those days, and they will prophesy.”

Joel 2:30 Acts 2:19

“I will show wonders in the heavens and “I will show wonders in the heavens

on the earth, blood and fire and billows above and signs on the earth below,

of smoke.” blood and fire and billows of smoke.”

Joel 2:31 Acts 2:20

“The sun will be turned to darkness and “The sun will be turned to darkness and

the moon to blood before the coming the moon to blood before the coming

of the great and dreadful day of of the great and glorious day of

Yahweh.” Yahweh.”

Joel 2:32 Acts 2:21

“And everyone who calls on the name of “And everyone who calls on the name

Yahweh will be saved; for on mount of the Lord (now Jesus) will be saved.

Zion and in Jerusalem there will be …………………….?……….............

deliverance, as Yahweh has said, …………………….?……….............

among the survivors whom Yahweh …………………….?…….................

calls.” ………..? (Omitted from the original)

Joel 3:1

“In those days and at that time when

I restore the fortunes of Judah and

Jerusalem...”

A number of serious discrepancies arise from our comparative study of these last verses:

1. According to Peter, God says that the prerequisites for the outpouring of the

Holy Spirit have been fully satisfied, namely:

a. Yahweh Himself being permanently in Israel, no one else and Israel knows it

without a shadow of doubt.

b. Israel being permanently restored - in the Yom Yahweh - never to be shamed

again.

We have seen from Revelation that Yahweh denies having come and places His

advent in His future “Day”. And history reveals that Israel has experienced

her worst shaming ever since that time – and is rejected even today.

2. A complete study of Joel reveals that THE MESSAGE OF THE PROPHET ENDS WITH Joel 2:29 - the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Joel 2:30 to Joel 3:1 IS A SUMMARY OF THAT MESSAGE. We can draw a line in our Bibles after Joel 2:29. Peter, however, having omitted “AFTER THAT” and having lost the context of Israel's permanent restoration in the Yom Yahwe, PRESENTS THE PROPHECY IN SUCH A MANNER THAT IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT - AND CONSEQUENTLY, THE KINGDOM - PRECEEDS THE YOM YAHWEH INSTEAD OF VICE-VERSA.

Peter has presented the prophecy in INVERTED ORDER - Yom Yahweh

AFTER the kingdom instead of BEFORE - leaving the Church with its

eternal inexplicable quandary: Yom Yahweh has come through John the

Baptist/Elijah and yet... it is still in the future! As we stated earlier: The

New Testament exists in an impossible eschatological framework, which

begins with Elijah and Yom Yahweh, and ends in the distant, unknown

future with the preceding signs of Yom Yahweh - without Covenant Am

Israel (the people of Israel). So says the mighty Anti-Chiliastic Church.

3. Joel 2:32 clearly describes an earthly restoration of the survivors of Israel to their earthly city of Jerusalem following the tribulation of Yom Yahweh. This is the universal expectation of Yom Yahweh found in all the prophets. Peter, however, HAVING OMITTED THE LATTER PART OF JOEL 2:32, creates the impression that the Yom Yahweh is God’s final act of Judgment – the judgment described in Revelation 20:11, which is supposed to follow after the Millennial Kingdom of Rev. 20. AND THAT ALL WHO CALL ON THE NAME OF JESUS WILL HAVE SALVATION OF THEIR SOULS. THIS IS NOT AT ALL WHAT JOEL SAID! YET, THIS IS THE BASIC MESSAGE OF THE CHURCH.

Joel 3:14-18 says exactly the same as Joel 2 of Yom Yahweh, the presence of Yahweh in Israel and the results:

Joel 3 :14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of

Yahweh is near.

:15 The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine.

:16 Yahweh will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and

the sky will tremble. But Yahweh will be a refuge for His people, a

stronghold for the people of Israel.

:17 Then you will know that I, Yahweh your Elohim, dwell in Zion,

My holy hill. Jerusalem will be holy; never again will foreigners

invade her.

:18 In that day the mountains will drip new wine, and the hills will flow

with milk...”

These errors of inversion and omission by Peter have caused profound confusion and divisions in all of New Testament Theology, ranging from misplaced eschatology, the fallacy of Trinity Theology, Replacement Theology with its replacement of Brit Milah (Circumcision Covenant) with the non-Biblical Infant Baptism and the premature Kingdom and New Covenant, right through to the horrors of Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. It has also lead to the development of strange religious forms such as Christmas, Easter and Sunday at the expense of Pesach, Sukkoth and Sabbath. It’s a mess. And we will find the seed of Trinity Theology in Peter’s statements, where he implies that Yahweh had come - first as Jesus and then as the Holy Spirit. And 2 Paul also became distracted;

2 Cor. 6:16 “...For we are the temple of the living God. As God

has said; “I will live with them and walk among them, and I

will be their God, and they will be My people”

(From Lev. 26:12 where Yahweh indicated that He will

dwell amongst the Israel in His temple... in Yom Yahweh.)

You may ask: Should these apparent misrepresentations by Peter not be laid at the door of Luke, the author of Acts, who miss-quoted Peter and, therefore, that Peter is innocent? We believe the answer is no - in part. Peter, in his second epistle, confirms his mistaken understanding of Yom Yahweh and the Acharit Hayemim (the latter days):

1. Peter on The Day of the Lord:

2 Pet. 3 :10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief . The heavens will

disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and

the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

:11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people

ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives

:12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That

day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the

elements will melt in the heat.

:13 But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new

heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

He then admits his difficulty in understanding 1 Paul’s statements on these matters ( verse 16) Yet, he had invoked Joel and, consequently, Yom Yahweh previously... which he now, again, places in the future!

Peter’s statement on “a new heaven and a new earth” has to be a reference to Rev. 21-22, as though they (and us) were already in the post-Yom Yahweh millennial kingdom of Rev. 20, after which is to follows the final judgment of Rev 20:11. He implies that these events will take place on the same “Day of the Lord” (Yom Yahweh). These are the religious gymnastics to which we have been subjected for nearly 2000 years.

It is thus Peter’s position that Yom Yahweh (or “Armageddon”, as popularly known) represents the end of the earthly dispensation. The end of the “kingdom”.

The Prophet Joel, whom he miss-quotes, refutes his claims completely:

Joel 3 :1 In those days and at that time when I restore the fortunes of

Judah and Jerusalem... (Which will introduce the Rev 20

Peace Millennium - the result of Yom Yahweh - in the future)

Joel - and all the prophets - say that Yom Yahweh introduces the “kingdom”. Peter’s misquote says Yom Yahweh ends the “kingdom.

2. Peter on the Acharit Hayemim (the latter days):

2 Pet. 3 :3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers

will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will

say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?”, ...

Peter is writing to a dispersed and reviled community. A community in distress that is being mocked about God’s absence - which should never have happened, had Joel been fulfilled. His association of “absence” and “mockers” with the Latter days is the complete antithesis of what Isa. 2:1-5 and Joel 2:27 had told us to expect. The “Latter days” cannot precede Yom Yahweh, but follows from it.

“Then you will know that I am in Israel and that there is no other. Never

again will My people be shamed” – the fulfilment of Yom Yahweh

(Joel 2:27 and Isaiah 2) is magnificent on the Acharit Hayemim - the latter days.

To crown it all, Peter implies that God says that this has happened. He has a pathologically corrupt misunderstanding of Yom Yahweh - which he has forced on us.

Let us again look at how Peter explains the “presence” of Yahweh, according to Joel:

Acts 2 :33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the

promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

:34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,

“The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand

:35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”.

:36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus

whom you crucified both Yahweh and Messiah”

Is such a concept at all possible or viable? Would Yahweh turn another into Himself, or use a surrogate to perform a major task which He said he would do Himself? For Peter it was absolutely necessary that Jesus should be Yahweh in order to justify his claim to Joel’s prophecy – a claim made in the name of Yahweh. However, if we turn once again to Joel 2:27-28. WE CANNOT FIND ANY INDICATION THAT YAHWEH WOULD HAVE AN INTERMEDIARY TO REPRESENT OR BECOME HIMSELF, ONE WHO WOULD THEN POUR OUT THE HOLY SPIRIT ON THE RESTORED HOUSE OF ISRAEL AS THE FINAL EVENT OF YOM YAHWEH. Yahweh merely says:

“Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am Yahweh

your God AND THAT THERE IS NO OTHER!”

“Thereafter I (NO OTHER) will pour out MY Spirit…”

Again, 2 Jesus, the true prophet, knows nothing about Peter’s theology of Substitution. There are now two instances under which Peter’s credibility becomes fatally flawed:

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PROPHECY OF JOEL TO HAVE BEEN
FULFILLED ON THAT FATEFUL DAY OF PENTECOST – because:

2.1 The test of the false prophet according to Deut. 18

“If what a prophet speaks in My Name does not come about

or come true, that prophet has spoken presumptuously…”

a. Yahweh had not yet come, and is yet to come according to the correction

of Revelation and 1 Paul’s quote of Isa. 59 in Rom. 11... the Redeemer.

b. Israel has suffered its greatest shame subsequent to Peter’s statement

that God had said “Never again will My people be shamed”.

2.2 The Delay of Rev.10

Yahweh says that the prophecy of Joel, in its full entirety - as part of the great prophetic

expectation - HAS BEEN DELAYED UNTIL YOM YAHWEH DOES COME - IN THE FUTURE.

Let us return to Joel, Acts 2, Peter and Luke. Peter was an illiterate man, a simple fisherman, who could not write his own letters. He required a scribe, Silas (1 Pet. 5:12) to write, verbalise and quote on his behalf. It seems most unlikely that he could have made the lengthy speech and presented scripture quotes off-hand in the way ascribed to him by his reporter, Luke, some forty years after the fact, when he wrote Acts. Luke, on the other hand, was an educated man, a physician of Greek descent and education. A skillful author, Luke was well acquainted with the Greek philosophers and the prevailing Mystery Religions of the time.

We have already done the painful exploration of Luke and Paul and their non-existent quotes from the Law, the Psalms and all the Prophets about the death and resurrection after three days of the Davidic Messiah. Now we find Luke quoting Peter on Psalm 16 in an effort to prove prophetic pre-knowledge of the resurrection of Jesus:

Acts 2 :25 David said about him (Jesus): “I saw the Lord always before me.

Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

:26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also

will live in hope,

:27 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your

Holy One see decay.

:28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me

with joy in your presence.”

This is a quote from Ps.16:8-11. In studying Psalm 16 it is most difficult to conclude that David is not speaking of himself. There is no evidence of violent death and resurrection on the third day as Peter, Luke and Paul would want to ascribe to it. David knew that his body would rise from the grave at the appointed time and would not remain in the grave. Isa. 26 19 and Dan.12-13 testify to this:

Isa.26 :19 But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the

dust, wake up and shout for joy.

This is part of the long discourse, covering several chapters, on “that day…”

Dan.12 :13 “As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then in the

latter days you will rise to receive your inheritance.”

To quote Psalm 16 as speaking of Jesus is highly contentious. Luke then proceeds to quote Peter on Psalm 110. where he puts Jesus on a heavenly throne. We have already seen that Psalm110 speaks of an earthly scenario - with its counterpart in Ezek. 44:3 - and not a heavenly one.

The question must be asked: Is the eloquent speech of Acts 2, ascribed to Peter, really the work of Peter, or is it the theology of Luke who manipulated what folklore had attributed to Peter? Nevertheless, the failure and dishonesty of Luke and Paul, and the most flimsy evidence presented by Peter, in ascribing Torah, Psalm and Prophetic evidence of the death and resurrection of the Davidic God/man Messiah DETRACTS LARGELY FROM THE CREDIBILTY OF THIS HUGE CORNERSTONE OF CHRISTIANITY. THEOLOGY OF SUCH MAGNITUDE WOULD REQUIRE ABSOLUTE SUBSTANTIVE EVIDENCE. Torah, Psalms and Prophets know nothing about it. Neither do 2 Jesus and 3 Jesus.

In the final analysis, the Prophecy of Joel, which is the subject matter, knows nothing of a Messiah who would come, be transformed into Yahweh, who would then be executed, rise on the third day and depart to rule from heaven, only to have his people experience their worst shaming. Of this Messiah, who would pour out the Spirit of Yahweh, on His behalf, on uncircumcised and non-observant Gentiles, JOEL KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT.

3. Peter on Circumcision and Torah

Having studied Peter’s misplacement of Israel’s Eschatology, let us look at his statement on Circumcision and Torah. This statement was made at the Great Synod Of Jerusalem and would forever change the philosophy of the Church. In debating the obligation for the Gentiles to be circumcised and to keep the Law Of Moses, this is Peter’s response:

Acts 15 :10 “Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of

the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able

to bear?

:11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that

we are saved, just as they are.”

What YOKE would that be? Circumcision and Torah observance? Surely not! Why would God be tested by His own institutions, those which true Israel had always adhered to - those that set them apart, make them kadosh? Peter implies that neither circumcision nor Torah observance are now required of both Jew and Gentile. Yet it is amazing how the other two main characters in this story, Paul and James, appear to have ignored Peter’s defeatist attitude as we see Paul circumcising the Gentile Timothy, to please the Jews, in the very next chapter. Surely this would have been the ideal opportunity to demonstrate the “New Theology”? Then we find James reminding Paul:

Acts 21 :20 “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and

all of them are zealous for the law.” (...Paul then complies)

The contradictions and inconsistencies are astounding! Yet, the Church has chosen to believe Peter.

Peter’s Plethora of Errors

1. Premature introduction of the Kingdom of Israel - in defiance of 2 Jesus.

2. Premature introduction of Yahweh.

3. Confused Yahweh with the Davidic Messiah.

4. Confused the Suffering Messiah with the Conquering Davidic Messiah.

5. Yom Yahweh in inverted order - fulfilled yet in the future.

6. Heavenly kingdom instead of earthly kingdom.

7. “Heavenly kingdom” before/after Yom Yahweh?

8. Fulfilment of Daniel’s 70^th week - 3 ½ years premature.

9. Placed Yahweh’s declared times of Israel in bondage having declared fulfilment

thereof 3 ½ years early – “Whatever you bind on earth shall be in heaven” (Math.

16:19), which caused...

10. DELAY - a time vacuum still in effect pending its “unbinding” or revoking.

11. Premature fulfilment of Abrahamic Circumcision Covenant.

13. Replacement Theology - Supersessionism. “Kingdom of Israel” is now “Spiritual

Israel” - which is the Church.

14. All prophecy fulfilled in god/man Messiah.

15. The birth of the “Science” of Allegory - the Augustinian search for the spiritual

meaning behind the literal text.

16. Israel in Diasporah - “obviously” rejected as “God killers”.

17. The scourge of Anti-Semitism.

18. Persecution, Crusades, Inquisition, Pogroms, Holocaust...

19. The resultant misrepresentation of Shavuot/Pentecost.

20. Seriously undermined Circumcision and Torah observance.

21. The seed of a new religious system is planted. A religious form that would move away from the original as instituted by Yahweh for all generations, of which 2 Jesus had said it would never change, not one Yod or tittel of it. A religious form called Christianity, which has one foot in the Bible (Yeshua’s Bible), and the other in Greco-Roman Paganism with its traditions of Sun worship, Mother and Child veneration and dying/resurrecting God/man elements. This religious form has a Christmas festival which unwittingly celebrates the rebirth of the sun at the mid-winter Solstice and a Sunday “Sabbath” at the expense of the seventh day Sabbath. It has an Easter festival with its elements of honouring the Babylonian goddess of fertility, Astarte. It further misrepresents Shavuot (Pentecost), which celebrates the giving of Torah at Sinai fifty days after the first Passover. And finally, this religious from institutes a covenant of infant baptism at the expense of Brit Milah. Neither 2 Jesus nor his Bible – the Tanakh - know anything about any of these. Yet, today they are “Gospel truth.” They are incompatible with any Jewish Messiah.

After all. the great Constantine, the father of Christianity, was a worshipper of the Sun god and only opted for “baptism” on his death bed. Even Roman Catholic historians do not dispute this.

We have previously referred to the book of Revelation as one of correction, the book that restores the perspective on Yom Yahweh. We have seen the futuristic nature of that theme as previously seen by the prophets. We have also noted the very Hebrew/Jewish nature of that theme. In this regard there are certain questions that arise. How can we be certain that the material we have today is the original? Or has it been tampered with?

Despite the very Jewish nature of the concept of Yom Yahweh, the book of Revelation seems to ignore the people of its origin and its heritage - the people of Israel. It contains seven letters to seven Gentile communities who would have no conception of Yom Yahweh or the major implications it has for Israel. It appears to make the Gentile Church its main focus despite the declared mission of Yeshua; “…to seek and find the lost sheep of Israel”. It appears to invoke the Lamb as the Lion of Judah who has no word of encouragement for that first Torah observant Jewish Church who had to be in the most dire predicament of persecution, disillusionment and diasporah some twenty five years after the destruction of Jerusalem.

Was there not, among those other letters from the Lamb, also one of encouragement to that Jewish Christian community, or even to the dispersed community at Yavneh? The absence of these is most strange. Yet it refers to the 144,000 - the 12,000 from every tribe of Israel... who have now been hijacked by the Jehovah Witnesses and by the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church, who believe themselves to be the 144,000 who stand on Mount Zion with the Lamb - who do not contaminate themselves with women.

The seven letters themselves also show signs of interference.

Rev.2 :9 I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are

a synagogue of Satan.

:13 I know where you live - where Satan has his throne.

Rev.3 :9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be

Jews though they are not - I will make them come and fall down at

your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.

:12 Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God..

the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of

heaven from my God.

Rev. 2 :14 You have people here who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught

Balak to entice the Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols

and by committing sexual immorality.

Three matters arise:

1. Jews and the synagogue of Satan

Who are these people? Who would want to be known as Jews when they were not, and have a synagogue at that? The Gospel stories do not portray Yeshua as talking of “the Jews”. John’s Gospel portrays “the Jews” as confronting, ridiculing and persecuting him. Is there an Anti-Semitic undertone in the Revelation statements? A nuance that the people of the Church are now the true “Jews” - Spiritual Israel? Set against the apparent absence of any communication to the first Jewish Church in particular and the Jewish community in general - both in dispersion, anxiety and uncertainty - could this be a nuance that God’s focus has moved entirely onto the Gentile Church, away from the Synagogue?

2. Temple and the New Jerusalem

These are incompatible elements. Rev.21:10 speaks of the New Jerusalem out of heaven. But then…

Rev.21 :22 And I saw no temple therein.

Why does the text present the New Jerusalem as the next dispensation while, as we have seen, the next dispensation will be the restoration of the earthly Jerusalem, which must have a temple? This is the Millennial kingdom of Rev. 20. If the next dispensation is indeed that of the New Heaven and Earth with its heavenly Jerusalem of Rev. 21, then the present dispensation has to be that of the Rev. 20 kingdom. This is indeed what the Anti-Chiliastic Church believes. In such an event Satan cannot have a synagogue or a throne - he is supposed to be bound with a heavy chain - in the Abyss, locked and sealed.

The Book itself says it is impossible for “the throne of Satan”, the Millennial “Temple” and “the New Jerusalem out of heaven” to co-exist in the same timeframe. There is an interference in the “Set Times”. Where does it come from? We shall see.

3. The teachings of Balaam

Why would the Lamb relate a story to a Gentile community that is obviously not true? Study of the actions of Balaam and his oracles in the book of Numbers reveal the exact opposite. Numbers 22 to 24 reveal him as a man who knew Adonai, the God of Israel; who consulted Adonai on every request made to him and refused to curse or seduce Israel in any way. He resisted Balak, king of Moab, on numerous occasions, despite the bribes offered to him. The story of the donkey is a parody of contradiction, which is difficult to understand as Adonai had told him to go.

Num.22 :20 That night God came to Balaam and said: “Since these men have

come to summon you, go with them, but do only what I tell you.”

So he went and was confronted by his donkey that saw the angel who was ready to kill him (Num.22:21 - 35). Then he was again told to go and do only what the angel of Adonai. told him to do. Perhaps Adonai was emphasising the importance of his instruction to Balaam. And Balaam never wavered an inch.

Num.24 :12 Balaam answered Balak, “Did I not tell the messengers you sent me,

:13 Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I

could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go

beyond the command of Adonai - and I must say only what

Adonai says?”

And so he did. One should read through these oracles to discover his devotion. Also, to discover his prophecy of the Star who will rise out of Jacob, a scepter out of Israel – the prophecy misread by Rabbi Akiva in Simon Bar Kochba (son of a star) at the Jewish rebellion of 135 CE.

Why then the enormous contradiction in Revelation?

Both the time dysfunction and the Balaam dysfunction come straight out of the Epistles of the Vicar.

1 Pet. 4 :7 The end of all things is near...

2 Pet. 3 :13 But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new

heaven and a new earth...(Rev.21) – (from his misrepresentation of

Yom Yahweh which places him, presently, in the premature Millennial

kingdom of Rev.20)

2 Pet. 2 :15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way

of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.

There are clear contradictions. What other interference has come from the seat of St. Peter, which is clearly not interested in Israel’s perspective of Yom Yahweh (to whom it belongs)? Perhaps interferences such as the Lamb also being the Lion of Judah, the Root of David - The Suffering Messiah and Conquering Messiah being the same one (Rev.4:5-6)? Furthermore, the Suffering Messiah presented as the “ruler of the kings of the earth” (in the present; Rev. 1:5), which is a function dedicated to the male child Conquering Messiah “who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter” (in the future; Rev. 12:5)? Or other interferences, such as the removal of a letter of encouragement to those dislodged Jewish communities in diasporah, which would contain a different message from that of the letters of St. Peter?

The major disturbing part, however, of Peter’s erroneous interpretation of Yom Yahweh is that it does not remain limited to him. It permeates virtually the entire New Testament. How did this come about?
