Have we been using the wrong calendar? What if God’s people can’t tell when the proper time for each purpose is? To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. Most people have heard that famous nugget of wisdom from Ecclesiastes 3:1, so they know there is a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted.
Excerpt From WND:
“The problem is most Christians are plucking at planting time and planting at plucking time because they don’t know what time it is,” said Pastor Mark Biltz during a recent appearance on Stand for Truth Radio with Susan Knowles. Biltz, the founder of El Shaddai Ministries in Washington State, said Christians are confused because they are following human calendars rather than God’s calendar. He teaches believers how to follow God’s calendar in his new book titled “God’s Day Timer: The Believer’s Guide to Divine Appointments.”
Protestantism correctly identified the “little horn” of Daniel as the papal office. And, consequently got the Bible in the hands of laymen and evangelized the world.
However, they did not heed scripture’s advice in Dan 7:25, which the “little horn” was guilty of doing: changing the seasons and times.
Everyone knows Christmas and Easter are pagan holidays adopted by the Roman Catholic Church to lure folks into the church. And, the Greco-Roman calendar is not at all the calendar given in the Bible.
Thanks to Protestantism, all the confusion about a- pre- post-millinialism is due to violating Dan 7:25. God’s Holy Days and calendar and temple rituals are annual reminders of God’s milestones in the plan of salvation as well as a pattern of heavenly things, as scripture says they are.
Also, Protestantism has confused what happens to people when they die per violating Dan 7:25. And, more.
Eph 4:13 is prophesied to come to true, which states we’d all come to the unity of KNOWLEDGE. The fact is prophetic events are not based on ANYTHING to do with Protestantism’s foundational doctrines. They are following the traditions of men rather than living by EVERY WORD that comes from God.
Indeed, the pagan Roman calendar has the Christian world deceived as Rev. 12:9 plainly says and has no exceptions, no not even the Jews who also concocted a calendar designed by men that only PRETENDS to obey scripture. The Jewish calendar is only a slightly modified version of the Babylonian calendar they adopted while in captivity for what, “SABBATH BREAKING”. The book of Jeremiah is very clear that “the Priests have done violence to my LAW” and indeed Satan has done a great job in deceiving the masses.
The Babylonians originally followed a 10 day week and there is ZERO evidence that they adopted the Biblical creation cycle of 7 days where the Creator specifically named ONLY the 7th day as the SABBATH, the rest were just numbered with accounts of what was created on specific days. When Babylon by contrast adopted a seven day week to honour their pagan gods they named them after the seven planets known at that time and the pragmatic Jews “went along to get along” adopting the 7th or “SATURNS DAY+ as their Sabbath, and with them “tradition becomes truth” regardless of what scripture says.
By contrast, SUN worship was the primary pagan religion which is the sole reason it was FIRST in the revised Babylonian weak calendar. Sunday was however adopted by the Catholic church founded by Simon the Sorcerer (magician) who as we read in the Book of Acts “beguiled (i.e. deceived”) the people,after the disciple DENIED him baptism because he was not repentant and sought power over the people out of a mercenary motive.
NO the Apostle Peter was NOT the first Pope as the Catholic’s claim. the Book of Acts is clear on the trips of the Apostles to various countries to preach the Gospel. (good news of the resurrection and the Messiah’s promise to return to the earth to rule with a rod of iron, and indeed it is only then that full knowledge and unity of belief can be restored and neither is their Good Fri- Easter claim for the crucifixion biblicaly valid based on Matt. 12:40 which required that Messiah be in the grave “THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS” in other words 72 hrs. and indeed Easter does not even belong in the Bible. It is a corruption of “ISHTAR” the pagan goddess after which the Statue of Liberty in N. York harbour is modeled.The Greek word “PASHA” falsely translated EASTER (ISHTAR)should actually say “intending after PASSOVER” one of many instances where various religions have falsely read their traditions into scripture instead of accurately translating the original texts.There are TEN N. Testament scriptures that say the Messiah would be resurrected “THE THIRD DAY” and allowing the Bible to interpret the Bible it means what the creation account originally stated. The THIRD Day not just any 3 days after the burial which the Catholics surmised was Fri after sunset because NOTE, “the Jewish Sabbath drew on” it does NOT say the BIBLICAL Sabbath which has nothing to do with the pagan Roman week, this is part of the careless way in which religious leaders have read their ideas into the scripture instead of comparing scripture with scripture to “prove all things” as we are commanded to do. For further proof that the Jewish calendar has also been corrupted, scripture is very clear that the PASSOVER is to be observed on the 14th day of the first month, “AT EVENING” proving that evening is still part of the SAME DAY, supported by may other scriptures. Yet because the JEWS rejected the Messiah who did die as our “Passover Lamb” on the second Sabbath of the month, a day they do not observe according to scripture, instead they observe the 15th, and I have documented evidence they themselves admit they CHANGED from the 14th to the 15th because that is the day they marched out of Egypt. The Creator specifically says SABBATHS are “seventh days” so in the spring, (when a New Year starts biblically at DAYBREAK not as per the Jews tradition “at sunset, which would be an oxymoron given that DAY in its primary meaning means DAYLIGHT, the confusion arises because “day” is also used to define a 24 hr. cycle when night is added.
Again, I have documented from their own literature that the Jews admit their tradition” of greeting the Sabbath the night before with their various ceremonies was not original practice, it just at some point became a tradition not commanded in scripture.
In some Bibles you will find the phrase “FOR THAT SABBATH WAS A HIGH DAY” which Christians universally do not understand, but for that matter neither do the Jews who claim to keep the Sabbath but lost that knowledge in antiquity. By Biblical definition THE SABBATH instituted by the Creator in the creation account, (HE created that day as a day of rest as a blessing for mankind) so biblical “HIGH DAYS” simply means a special YEARLY observance with symbolic meaning related to HIS plan of salvation over seven millenium’s of time. In the spring they are the 7th , next the 14th (Passover) on which HE allowed His Son to die for our sins and then the 21st *3rd Sabbath of the year which is the last Day of unleavened bread. In the second half of the year the first day of the 7th month is a SABBATH, (by definition a 7th day, so obviously the next Sabbath is the 8th on which the sanctuary is cleansed. The next “HIGH DAY” is the 15th, the beginning of the Feast of Tabernacles ( a harvest festival) and then the 22nd is called the LAST GREAT DAY which depicts the millennial reign of the Messiah on the earth. The only way these spring and fall special Sabbaths line up is if each year begins with day one and ends with a seventh day Sabbath which dovetails with the Jubilee year and seven millenniums of time the Creator has allotted for the experiment of time for man to try every possible mode of government to rule himself without the Creator’s laws before sending His Son back to this earth to prevent man from annihalating all life on the planet we are rapidly approaching with the advent of nuclear war.
Nothing I have said should be taken by anyone as condemning Catholic’s, Protestants or Jews, or for that matter any man created religion. It is simply an acknowledgment that mankind IS DECEIVED and until we acknowledge that and “contend earnestly for the faith once delivered” it should be obvious that UNITY will allude us as long as we allow Satan’s deceptions to divide us into competing factions contending we alone are right.
The problem is Mark Biltz is wrong too. Let’s begin with two questions, food for thought so to speak. #1. How was the Sabbath determined before the creation of the Roman calendar in 46 BC? #2. Where in scripture are we given instructions or commands to formulate a lunar calendar?
#1.If a calendar existed before the Roman calendar to determine the Sabbath, then the Roman calendar day of Saturn is a false Sabbath. It just may be the mark of the beast everyone is looking for. In fact two calendars existed before the Roman calendar that were used to determine the Sabbath, but we have to eliminate one of them.
#2. Nowhere in scripture are we given instructions or commands to formulate a lunar calendar. In fact we have rebukes of the lunar calendar. Such as Isaiah 1:13-14, Jubilees 6:36-38 and others.
One man was given the wisdom and authority to reveal the calendar of our Father. His name is Enoch, the seventh from Adam, Jubilees 4:16-18. Chapters 72-82 of the book of Enoch are the only scriptural instructions to formulate a calendar. Anyone not using this calendar is teaching a false Sabbath and commandment breaking.
So, you copy/pasted part of the article from wnd.com, which is trying to sell his newest book, but you never gave any kind of commentary on his ideas. What do YOU think about this?
