Miller<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more you begin to investigate history, culture and Scripture, the more you begin to see we&#8217;ve been lied to down through the ages. We&#8217;ve been lied to by every institution \u2013 the school, the politicians and the philosophers, what makes you think that the religious institution is the only one that&#8217;s never been compromised? The religious of this world are at the bottom of the mind games and manipulations. The religious in this world are put there by the same entities who manipulating governments, your corrupt universities, and the international banking system \u2013 the Sitre HaRa (Dark Forces). They hate mankind; they hate you and your family. All they care about is what they have always cared about and that&#8217;s controlling the whole of creation and placing HaSatan on the Throne of Yahweh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mankind has been misled away from the true and divine presence in the universe \u2013 the Heavenly Father Yahweh. Since he is Ayn Sof \u2013 the Incomprehensible one &#8211; I don&#8217;t know everything Elohim is but I know what He isn&#8217;t, and unless and until you are prepared to look at the whole truth, and wherever it may go, whoever it may lead to, if you want to look the other way or if you want to play favorites, then when you come to the judgment seat of Heaven you&#8217;re going to find out you&#8217;ve been messing with divine justice. The more you educate yourself the more you understand what truth is the more obvious things become and you begin to see lies everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It wasn&#8217;t very long after the Great Flood of Noah&#8217;s Day, that mankind began a great Apostasy away from Yahweh. Nimrod was the Ring-Leader in this opposition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;&#8230;Nimrod&#8230;.He displayed himself a mighty hunter in opposition to Yahweh&#8230;.&#8221; (Genesis 10:8, 9)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his book \u201cNimrod,\u201d Horatius Bonar, the great Scottish theologian, says: &#8220;His name is Nimrod, It means \u2018the rebel,\u2019 and is evidently meant to designate the nature of the man. He was the first specimen of giant tyranny after the flood. His Defiance of [Yahweh] was perpetrated in wickedness and ambition under the very eye of [Yahweh]. Nimrod&#8217;s assumptions were religious as well as political. Nimrod presented himself not only for obedience but also for worship. His awful greatness was of ambitious rebellion,&nbsp;&nbsp; apostasy and defiance of [Yahweh]. And as it was Babel that was the beginning of his empire, so is \u2018Babylon the great\u2019 its consummation and close.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Harry Lancaster wrote in his article, \u201cNarrow is the Way,\u201d in the \u201cEnsign Trust,\u201d June 1999: \u201cAs the people increased in number, the Way of [Yahweh] was corrupted and a principal figure in those days was Nimrod, the grandson of Ham described as a mighty hunter before [Yahweh]. The word &#8216;before&#8217; used in this sense means, &#8216;totally antagonistic to [Yahweh].&#8217; We celebrate Christmas on a date which coincides with the birthday of Nimrod &#8211; the villainous king of ancient Babylon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shinar is the land where Nimrod built his five city states, with Babel as the capital. Babel which became Babylon continued to be the seat of pagan opposition against Yahweh from Nimrod onward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cNow the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward,they found a plain in Shinarand settled there.\u201d (Genesis 11:1, 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nimrod headed up a great confederacy in open revolt against Yahweh. This confederacy is described in Genesis 11 and it is clear from Scripture that this was <strong>an organized rebellion against Yahweh.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;\u201c<\/strong><strong>They said to each other, \u2018Come, let\u2019s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.\u201d They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, \u201cCome, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.\u2019\u201d (Genesis 11:3-4)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201c\u2026King Nimrod reigned securely, and all the earth was under his control, and all the earth was of one tongue and words of union. And all the princes of Nimrod and his great men took counsel together; Phut, Mitzraim, Cush and Canaan with their families, and they said to each other, Come let us build ourselves a city and in it a strong tower, and its top reaching heaven, and we will make ourselves famed, so that we may reign upon the whole world, in order that the evil of our enemies may cease from us, that we may reign mightily over them, and that we may not become scattered over the earth on account of their wars. And they all went before the king, and they told the king these words, and the king agreed with them in this affair, and he did so.\u201d (Jasher 9:20-22)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Babel temples called Ziggurats were erected for idol worship. Through these means many pagan customs were nurtured and promoted far and wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201c\u2026Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. Yahweh said, \u2018If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So Yahweh scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. <sup>9<\/sup> That is why it was called Babel\u2014because there Yahweh confused the language of the whole world. From there Yahweh scattered them over the face of the whole earth.\u201d (Genesis 11:3-9)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cAnd many of the sons of men died in that tower, a people without number.\u201d (Jasher 9:39)<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNimrod, who began to prevail in wickedness, for he shed innocent blood, and rebelled against [Yahweh].\u201d&nbsp; (\u201cThe Companion Bible,\u201d by E.W. Bullinger; Appendix 28, pg. 29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cNimrod did not return to Yahweh, and he continued in wickedness and teaching wickedness to the sons of men\u2026\u201d (Jasher 11:7)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here Comes the Sun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nimrod based his new religion of the basics of life. He understood, if you\u2019re going to seduce a people you must keep it simple and inclusive. He centered everything on the sun and it is simple to understand why as every morning the sun would rise, bringing vision, warmth, and security, saving man from the cold, blind, predator-filled darkness of night. Without it, people could understand, the crops would not grow, and life on the planet would not survive. These realities made the sun the most revered physical object in man\u2019s limited existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nimrod began associating himself with the sun. The people could see that as Nimrod went to retire in his palace, the sun went down, and as he emerged from his palace the sun rose. So, it was logical to the pagan\u2019s mind, to believe Nimrod and the sun were one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nimrod, had a wife by the name of Semiramis. Semiramis was a beautiful woman, but she was very vile and evil-minded like her husband Nimrod. The influence of these two people &#8211; Nimrod and Semiramis &#8211; led many to turn away from the good example of Shem (one of the three sons of Noah). Thus many people fell into great apostasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; HaSatan rewarded Nimrod by spreading his self-exaltation around the world.&nbsp; Most gods of many countries were fashioned after Nimrod, and most goddesses of the world were fashioned after his wife &#8211; Semiramis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ralph Woodrow in his book, \u201cBabylon, Mystery Religion,\u201d says: \u201cThus from Babylon emerged the entire complex of human &#8220;religion&#8221;.&nbsp; The various gods and goddesses of Rome, Greece, India, Egypt, and other nations can be identified with corresponding gods from Babel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And David Terrell in his book, \u201cWorld Religions,\u201d agrees: \u201cIn his deified form, Nimrod the Sun god is known as Ba\u2019al. Mythology reveals the fact that the god Ba\u2019al, and the goddess, the Queen of Heaven, were universally worshiped under various names and titles. History confirms, that Nimrod, and his wife, Semiramis, were the prototypes for all gods and goddesses that permeated all subsequent cultures and societies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev. Alexander Hislop, a Free Church of Scotland minister and outspoken critic of Christendom exposed in his masterpiece, \u201cThe Two Babylons,\u201d: \u201cNimrod of Ancient Babylon became both the husband and son of Semiramis, and was worshiped as &#8211; both god the father &#8211; and god the incarnate son. In the Bible, Nimrod was called \u2026 Molech\u2026&nbsp; In Assyria, Nimrod was called Ba\u2019al, Bal or Belus meaning \u2018lord.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mankind in general and Christianity in particular have gone to great lengths to eliminate any mention of the name of Yahweh from the earth. Bible translators have removed Yahweh\u2019s Name&nbsp; almost seven thousand times (7,000) and have replaced&nbsp; it with the generic title of Lord.&nbsp; There is nothing wrong with the title of \u201cLord\u201d but when it is used not to designate the sovereignty of Yahweh but to replace the name then we bare the sin of Jeroboam who merged the religion of Yahweh with the religion of Nimrod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cEsau \u2026 after the death of Abraham, frequently went in the field to hunt\u2026Nimrod, King of Babel \u2026 also frequently went with his mighty men to hunt in the field\u2026in the cool of the day\u2026Nimrod and two of his men that were with him came to the place where they were, when Esau started suddenly from his lurking place, and drew his sword, and hastened and ran to Nimrod and cut off his head\u2026And Esau fought a desperate fight with the two men that were with Nimrod, and when they called out to him, Esau turned to them and smote them to death with his sword.\u201d (Jasher 27:1-8)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;When Nimrod, the founder of Babylon, died, Semiramis told the people that her husband&#8217;s spirit had taken possession of the sun. She encouraged the people to pay homage to her husband by worshipping the sun. Thus began the evil practice of sun worship. Later on when Semiramis gave birth to a son she named him Tammuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dr. Bullinger, in the Companion Bible, appx. 162, states, \u201ccrosses were used as symbols of the Babylonian Sun-god \u2026 It should be stated that Constantine was a Sun-god worshiper \u2026 The evidence is thus complete, that the Lord was put to death upon an upright stake, and not on two pieces of timber placed at any angle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev. Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons, pp. 197-205, frankly calls the cross \u201cthis Pagan symbol \u2026 the Tau, the sign of the cross, the indisputable sign of Tammuz, the false Messiah \u2026 the mystic Tau of the Cladeans (Babylonians) and Egyptians \u2013 the true original form of the letter T the initial of the name of Tammuz \u2026 the Babylonian cross was the recognized emblem of Tammuz.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In Egypt Nimrod was known as Horus the Sun God of Egypt. He is the sun, anthropomorphized, and his life is a series of allegorical myths involving the sun&#8217;s movement in the sky. From the ancient hieroglyphics in Egypt, we know much about this reinterpretation of Nimrod. For instance, Horus, being the sun, or the light, had an enemy known as Set and Set was the personification of the darkness or night. And metaphorically speaking, every morning Horus would win the battle against Set- while in the evening, Set would conquer Horus and send him into the underworld<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that &#8220;dark vs. light&#8221; or &#8220;good vs. evil&#8221; is one of the most ubiquitous mythological dualities ever known and is still expressed on many levels to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The myth of Horus was born on December 25th of the virgin Isis-Meri. His birth was accompanied by a star in the east, which in turn, three kings followed to locate and adorn the god-man. After being betrayed by Typhon, Horus was murdered, his body scattered in pieces. When his mother and wife finds out she gathers the scattered pieces and puts them in a box, buries them and laments. Out of the ground springs up an evergreen tree and thus, Horus is resurrected. Isis-Meri gives birth to Osiris, the son, in the Spring and she declares him to be Horus reincarnated so the cycle begins all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seeing Stars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, the birth sequence is completely astrological. The star in the east is Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, which, on December 24, aligns with the 3 brightest stars in Orion&#8217;s Belt. These 3 bright stars are called today what they were called in ancient times: The Three Kings. The Three Kings and the brightest star, Sirius, all point to the place of the sunrise on December 25th. This is why the Three Kings &#8220;follow&#8221; the star in the east, in order to locate the sunrise \u2014 the birth of the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why December the 25<sup>th<\/sup>? It is because from the summer solstice to the winter solstice, the days become shorter and colder. From the perspective of the northern hemisphere, the sun appears to move south and get smaller and scarcer. The shortening of the days and the expiration of the crops when approaching the winter solstice symbolized the process of death to the ancients. It was the death of the Sun. By December 22nd, the Sun&#8217;s demise was fully realized, for the Sun, having moved south continually for 6 months, makes it to its lowest point in the sky. Here a curious thing occurs: the Sun stops moving south, at least perceivably. During this pause, the Sun mainly resides in the vicinity of the Southern constellations. And after this time on December 25th, the Sun moves 1 degree, this time north, foreshadowing longer days, warmth, and Spring. And thus it was said: the Sun died, only to be resurrected or born again. It is the Sun&#8217;s transition period before it shifts its direction back into the Northern Hemisphere, bringing Spring, and thus salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they did not celebrate the resurrection of the Sun until the spring equinox, the Feast of Ishtar (Semiramis) or Easter because at the spring equinox, the Sun officially overpowers the evil darkness, as daytime thereafter becomes longer in duration than night, and the revitalizing conditions of spring emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Greatest Story Ever Retold<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These attributes of Horus or Nimrod permeate every pagan culture in the world, for many other gods are found to have the same general mythological structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attis, of Phyrigia, born of the virgin Nana on December 25<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Krishna, of India, born of the virgin Devaki with a star in the east signaling his coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dionysus of Greece, born of a virgin on December 25<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mithra, of Persia, born of a virgin on December 25<sup>th<\/sup> and the sacred day of worship of Mithra was Sunday. We know that Constantine was a devotee of Mithra and incorporated this myth system into Christianity. His Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary on December 25th in Bethlehem, his birth was announced by a star in the east, which three kings followed to locate and adorn the new baby savior. We are all familiar with this story but it\u2019s not the story of Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justin Martyr, one of the first Christian historians and defenders, wrote: &#8220;When we say that he, Jesus Christ, our teacher, was produced without sexual union, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended into Heaven, we propound nothing different from what you believe regarding those who you esteem Sons of Jupiter.&#8221; In a different writing, Justin Martyr said &#8220;He was born of a virgin, accept this in common with what you believe of Perseus.&#8221; It&#8217;s obvious that Justin and other early Christians knew how similar Christianity was to the Pagan religions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the sun, in which they put a man called Christ in the place of the sun, and pay him the adoration originally paid to the sun which Constantine worshipped as God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t want to be unkind, but we want to be truthful. We don&#8217;t want to cause hurt feelings, but we want to be biblically correct, in what we understand and know to be true. Christianity just is not based on the truth. We find that Christianity was in fact nothing more than a Roman story, developed politically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reality is, the Jesus of Romanism is a Solar Deity of the Gnostic Christian sect, and like all other Pagan gods, and he was a mythical figure. It was the political establishment that sought to historize this Jesus figure away from the historical YahShua, crown prince of Israel, for social control of the Roman Empire. By 325 CE in Rome, emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicea. It was during this meeting that the politically motivated Christian Doctrines were established and thus began a long history of Christian bloodshed in which most of YahShua\u2019s immediate family was hunted down and executed, and spiritual fraud. And for the next 1600 years, the Vatican maintained a political stranglehold on all of Europe, leading to such joyous occasions as the celebrated Dark Ages, along with enlightening events such as the Crusades in which the battle cry was \u201cKill a Jew for Jesus!\u201d, and the Inquisition that killed most of the Jewish converts to Christianity which was the real reason Christopher Columbus, a Jew, sailed the ocean blue looking for a new homeland for the European Jews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christianity, is the fraud of the age. It served to detach the mankind from the one true Creator \u2013 Yahweh, the Elohim of Israel, the priest of mankind \u2013 the House of Israel and likewise, each other. It supports blind submission to authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Is the Truth?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cNow a great sign appeared in Heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

If you will remember King David, according to I Chronicles 24:1-19, had divided the priestly families into twenty-four groups. Each group was a course, and named after the Elder of that particular family. Each course served for one week in the first half of the year, and for another week the second half of the year. This was in addition to the weeks of Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot, when all the courses were required to be present (Deuteronomy 16.16). Therefore, <strong>\u201cthe first \u2026to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,<sup>&nbsp; <\/sup>the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah. (1 Chronicles 24:7-10)\u201d<\/strong> The family of <strong>Abijah<\/strong> would serve the tenth week of the first half of the year, having allowed two weeks for Pesach and Shavuot. It is at this time that Zechariah receives the prophecy of Yochanan&#8217;s birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cSo it was, that while he was serving as priest before Elohim in the order of his division,according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the Temple of Yahweh.And the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.Then an angel of Yahweh appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.<sup>&nbsp; <\/sup>And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.&nbsp; But the angel said to him, &#8220;Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Yochannan. (Luke 1:8-13)\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Allowing for the \u201ctime of separation,\u201d&nbsp; <strong>\u201cThen Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,&#8221;Speak to the children of Israel, saying: &#8220;If a woman has conceived, and borne a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her customary impurity she shall be unclean.And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.She shall then continue in the blood of her purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any hallowed thing, nor come into the Sanctuary until the days of her purification are fulfilled. (Leviticus 12:1-4)\u201d <\/strong>an additional 11 days have to be counted. Allowing for this and going forward a normal pregnancy, the time of Yochanan&#8217;s birth (if this is the first half of the year) would be approximately Pesach, when it is expected that Elijah will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Six months following Elizabeth&#8217;s conception, the angel Gabriel is sent to Miriam (Mary), the cousin of Elizabeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cNow in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by Yahweh to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the House of David. The virgin&#8217;s name was Miriam.And having come in, the angel said to her, &#8220;Rejoice, highly favored one, Yahweh is with you; blessed are you among women!&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;But when she saw him,she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.Then the angel said to her, &#8220;Do not be afraid, Miriam, for you have found favor with Yahweh. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name YahShua.He will be great, and will be called Ben Elyon (Son of the Highest); and the Sovereign Yahweh will give Him the throne of His father David.And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.&#8221; (Luke 1:26-33)\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Starting at Chanukah, which begins on Kislev 25 and continues for eight days, and counting through the nine months of Miriam&#8217;s pregnancy brings one to the approximate time of Sukkot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Sign In the Heavens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cAnd Elohim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and <u>let them be for signs<\/u>, and for seasons, and for days, and years. (Genesis 1:14)\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cNow after YahShua was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, &#8220;Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?

In a deeper sense, in the religious sense, a myth serves as an orienting and mobilizing story for people. The focus is not on the story&#8217;s relation to reality, but on it&#8217;s function. A story cannot function unless it is believed to be true in the community or the nation. It is not a matter of debate that some people have the bad taste to raise the question of the truth of the sacred story. The keepers of the faith won&#8217;t enter into debate with them. They ignore them or denounce them as blasphemers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As we have seen, there are two ideas on a collision course \u2013 truth and a lie. We have seen that it was Nimrod that started all the apostasy of Babylon. We\u2019re told to not have anything to do with this lie and embrace the truth. We have laid out the facts. They are undeniable. So, you\u2019ve got some decisions to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>\u201cI have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
