The Book of Transitions

We see many people/ churches and assemblies formulating a doctrine from Acts of the apostles and quote the doctrines based on what is written in it. While this book is inspired by Yahuah's Ruach the arrangement of this book in Yahuah's dabar is to understand the acts of transition from being a physical Yahudite to a spiritual Yahudite and is a historical evidence of this transition. We will examine many passages from the book to understand how the early disciples reacted to keeping of Masha's Turah literally as a Yahudite in the Old Covenant would do and how they transitioned to a spiritual observance as stated in the later chapters of Acts and in the epistles to the assemblies by Shaul and the other apostles.

Acts 1:23 So they appointed two, Yoseph called Barshaba (who was surnamed Yustus), and MattithiYahu.
Acts 1:24 And they prayed and said, You, Yahuah, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen,
Acts 1:25 to take part of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.
Act 1:26  And they cast their lots/gural, and the lot fell on Mattithyahu. And he was numbered with the eleven emissaries.

The first thing we see the emissaries do is casting lots to choose between Yoseph called Barshaba and MattithiYahu to occupy Yahuda Iscariot's office. The Abary word for 'lots' is 'gural' which means colored stones used to cast lots to determine a course of action or make a decision. It was an Old testament practice to cast lots/gural to come to a decision to divide/allot pieces of land/inheritance etc. Even Turah stated that on Day of Atonement the high priest has to cast lots between the two goats so that one could be sacrificed and the other could be left out into the wilderness.

Lev 16:8  “And Aharon shall cast lots/H1486 gural for the two goats, one lot for יהוה and the other lot for Azazel/sacpegoat.
Lev 16:9  “And Aharon shall bring the goat on which the lot/H1486 gural for יהוה fell, and shall prepare it as a sin offering.
Lev 16:10  “But the goat on which the lot/H1486 gural for Azazel fell is caused to stand alive before יהוה, to make atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness to Azazel.

We won't go into the other passages but the one that stand's out is the gural/lots cast for Mashiyach's inner garments so that they don't rend it as his outer garments as prophesied in the book of Psalms

Psa 22:18  They divide My garments among them, And for My raiment they cast lots/H1486 gural.

Joh 19:23  Then the soldiers, when they had impaled יהושע, took His outer garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the inner garment. But the inner garment was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 
Joh 19:24  So they said to each other, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots/gural for it – whose it shall be,” in order that the Scripture might be filled which says, “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.” The soldiers therefore indeed did this.

So we see this practice common among Yahudites to resolve a dispute in parting things/inheritance etc they would cast lots. We see the same thing done by the emissaries to choose the one to replace the office of Yahudah Iscariot. After this we have no record of lots being cast for anything in the Renewed Testament, instead we find them appointing elders through prayer and fasting.

Acts 14:23  And having appointed elders in every assembly, having prayed with fasting, they committed them to the Master in whom they had believed.

Was their method of appointing to fill the office of Yahudah Iscariot the right method? While scriptures are silent on this we see Shaul saying with emphasis added in Galatians about his being an emissary 'not from men, nor by man'

Gal 1:1  Sha’ul, an emissary – not from men, nor by a man, but by יהושע Messiah and Elohim the Father who raised Him from the dead –

Emissaries/Apostles were eyewitnesses of Yahusha's resurrection. While the other emissaries were with Mashiyach seeing him when he died and when he rose again and taken up in a cloud,  Shaul was not converted yet and had not witnessed the resurrection of Yahusha along with the others. But as one chosen in due time he did see the Master and was witness of his resurrection being called directly into the apostleship by the Master himself. His emphasis to the Corinthian assembly ''Have I not see Yahusha Mashiyach our Master?'' to being an emissary shows this.

1Co 9:1  Am I not an emissary? Am I not free? Have I not seen יהושע Messiah our Master? Are you not my work in the Master?

Matthew records Yahusha's 12 emissaries and this shows that Yoseph called Barshaba and Mattithyahu (this one was another Mattithyahu and not the tax collector who was already chosen by the Master himself among the 12)  chosen may have been eye witnesses of Yahusha's resurrection because all 12 had seen him and also seen by over 500 brethren showing that there were more emissaries/apostles other than the 12 but when we speak of the 12 we speak of the pillars of the faith who transitioned the Yahudite from physical to spiritual. Yahuah was silent when the cast their lots but chose one out of due time who would be eye witness of Yahusha's resurrection into the apostleship through whom he would gather his lost sheep of the house of Yasharal now known as Guym/gentiles by geographical location.

Mat 10:1  And having called His twelve taught ones near, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every bodily weakness.
Mat 10:2  And these are the names of the twelve emissaries: first, Shimʽon, who is called Kĕpha, and Andri his brother; Yaʽaqoḇ the son of Zaḇdai, and Yoḥanan his brother;
Mat 10:3  Philip and Bartholomi; T’oma and Mattithyahu the tax collector; Yaʽaqoḇ the son of Alphai, and Laḇai whose last name was Taddai;
Mat 10:4  Shimʽon the Kenaʽanite, and Yehuḏah from Qerioth, who did also deliver Him up.

1Co 15:4  and that He was buried, and that He was raised the third day, according to the Scriptures,
1Co 15:5  and that He was seen by Kĕpha, then by the twelve.
1Co 15:6  After that He was seen by over five hundred brothers at one time, of whom the greater part remain till now, but some have fallen asleep.
1Co 15:7  After that He was seen by Yaʽaqoḇ, then by all the emissaries.
1Co 15:8  And last of all He was seen by me/Shaul also, as if to one born prematurely. 

Eph 2:20  having been built upon the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, יהושע Messiah Himself being chief corner-stone,

2Co 11:5  For I reckon that I/Shaul am not inferior to the most eminent emissaries.

Proof that there were other emissaries apart from the 12:

Rom 16:7  Greet Andronikos and Junias, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are eminent among the emissaries, who also were in Messiah before me.

Shaul distinguishes himself among the common emissaries in 2 Cor 11:5 saying that he is not inferior to the most eminent emissaries. The most eminent emissaries were the ones who labored in the dabar/word and doctrine in the transition and Shaul was one of them.

Act 2:42  And they were continuing steadfastly in the teaching of the emissaries, and in the fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers.

Act 16:1  And he came to Derbe and Lustra. And see, a certain taught one was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Yehuḏite woman who believed – but his father was Greek –
Act 16:2  who was well spoken of by the brothers who were at Lustra and Ikonion.
Act 16:3  Sha’ul wished to have this one go with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Yehuḏim who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was Greek.
Act 16:4  And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the regulations to keep, which were decided by the emissaries and elders at Yerushalayim. 

While Acts 16:4 shows Shaul in his journeys with Barnabah went through the cities and delivered the assemblies the regulations to keep which were decided by the emissaries and elders at Yerushalayim, we have Shaul recording in Galatians 2 that he went up to the eminent emissaries to reveal to them how Yahusha had led him in the doctrine formulation to see whether what he received from Yahusha through the Ruach matched up with how the emissaries at Yerushalayim were led to see if  had somehow run in vain

Gal 2:1  Then after fourteen years I again went up to Yerushalayim, with Barnaḇah, taking Titus along too.
Gal 2:2  And I went up by revelation, and laid before them that Good News which I proclaim among the gentiles, but separately to those who were esteemed, lest somehow I run, or had run, in vain. 
Gal 2:3  But not even Titus who was with me, though a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Gal 2:4  But as for the false brothers, sneakingly brought in, who sneaked in to spy out our freedom which we have in Messiah יהושע in order to enslave us,
Gal 2:5  to these we did not yield in subjection, not even for an hour, so that the truth of the Good News remains with you.
Gal 2:6  But from those who were esteemed to be whatever – what they were, it makes no difference to me, Elohim shows no partiality – for those who were esteemed contributed naught to me.
Gal 2:7  But on the contrary, when they saw that the Good News to the uncircumcised had been entrusted to me, even as Kĕpha to the circumcised – 
Gal 2:8  for He who worked in Kĕpha to make him an emissary to the circumcised also worked in me for the gentiles. 
Gal 2:9  So when Yaʽaqoḇ, Kĕpha, and Yoḥanan, who seemed to be supports, came to know the favour that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnaḇah the right hand of fellowship, in order that we go to the gentiles and they to the circumcised, 
Gal 2:10  only that we might remember the poor, which I myself was eager to do.

Kepha in his letter speaks about Shaul's writings which somethings are hard to understand but are scriptures

2Pe 3:15  and reckon the patience of our Master as deliverance, as also our beloved brother Sha’ul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him,
2Pe 3:16  as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters, in which some are hard to understand,1 which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do also the other Scriptures.

Hence we see choosing of an emissary by lots was not the right way as it was the Ruach in them who worked in separating/set-aparting people for the work of the ministry.

Act 13:1  And in the assembly that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: both Barnaḇah and Shimʽon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaḥĕm who had been brought up with Herodes the district ruler, and Sha’ul.
Act 13:2  And as they were doing service to the Master and fasted, the Set-apart Spirit said, “Separate unto Me Barnaḇah and Sha’ul for the work to which I have called them.”
Act 13:3  Then having fasted and prayed, and having laid hands on them, they sent them away.

Shaul and Barnabah were recognized as prophets and teachers in the assembly at Antioch before Yahuah by his Ruach revealed their call to apostleship in which Shaul was among the eminent apostles who laid down the instructions for the assemblies.

The basarah of introducing Yahusha ha Mashiyach:

Yahusha to the Yahudites throughout the book of Acts is portrayed as a man from Aluahym, a Prophet who was to come which Unitarians in Messianic faith love to teach that he was a created being without understanding that Yahudites had a common understanding of the Son of Aluahym as they considered themselves as sons of Aluahym. It was necessary to teach them the set-apartness of the Son of Aluahym and that it is through faith in him one receives the sonship. The transition can be clearly seen later in the epistles and the letters Shaul and the other apostles elevate Yahusha as being in the form/likeness and on the same level as Yahuah.

Act 2:22  “Men of Yisra’ĕl, hear these words: יהושע of Natsareth, a Man from Elohim, having been pointed out to you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs which Elohim did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know,
Act 2:23  this One, given up by the set purpose and foreknowledge of Elohim, you have impaled and put to death through the hands of lawless men –

Act 3:21  whom heaven needs to receive until the times of restoration of all matters, of which Elohim spoke through the mouth of all His set-apart prophets since of old.
Act 3:22  “For Mosheh truly said to the fathers, ‘יהוה your Elohim shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers. Him you shall hear according to all matters, whatever He says to you.
Act 3:23  ‘And it shall be that every being who does not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.

We have two versions of translations from the Renewed Testament among Messianics where they translated YHUH (Yahuah) the 4 letter tetragrammation as ADON which means Master:

Php 3:20  For our citizenship is in the heavens, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the YHUH (YAHUAH) יהושע Messiah,

Php 3:20  For our citizenship is in the heavens, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the MASTER (ADON) יהושע Messiah, TS2009

the Master translated from YHUH and hence can read the last 4 words as: YHUH YaHUShA Messiah.

1Ti 1:1 "Paul, an apostle of YaHUShA Mashyach by the commandment of Elohiym our Saviour, and YHUH (YAHUAH) YaHUShA Mashiyach:, which is our hope;" 

1Ti 1:1  Sha’ul, an emissary of יהושע Messiah, according to a command of Elohim our Saviour, and of the Master (ADON) יהושע Messiah, our expectation, TS2009

Tit 1:4 to Titos, a genuine child according to our common belief: Favour, compassion, peace from Elohim the Father and the YHUH (YAHUAH) יהושע Messiah our Saviour."

Tit 1:4  to Titus, a genuine child according to our common belief: Favour, compassion, peace from Elohim the Father and the Master (ADON) יהושע Messiah our Saviour. TS2009

THIS CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING

YAHUSHA THE MESSIAH IS YAHUAH HIMSELF IN HUMAN FLESH WHO CAME TO EARTH TO BE THAT SAVIOUR!

Isaiah 43:11 There is only ONE SAVIOUR: "I, even I, am YaHUaH יהוה, and besides Me there is no Saviour." 

Isaiah 45:21 "Declare and bring near, let them even take counsel together. Who has announced this from of old? Who has declared it from that time? Is it not I, יהוה? And there is no mighty one besides Me, a righteous Ěl and a Saviour, there is none besides Me."

Act 13:22  “And having removed him, He raised up for them Dawiḏ as sovereign, to whom also He gave witness and said, ‘I have found Dawiḏ the son of Yishai, a man after My own heart, who shall do all My desires.’ 
Acts 13:23 And from this descendant the Aluahym according to promise raised redeemer of Yisrael Yahusha

So we see the preaching began in the emissaries themselves being in the transition learning on the divinity of Mashiyach as it was a mystery slowly being unfolded. Below is the word to word translation of the mystery of holiness/divinity which Shaul speaks of about Yahusha.

1Tim 3:16 By common confession, great is the mystery of holiness: He who was revealed in the flesh, surely righteous/natsadaq in the Ruach, seen by angels, proclaimed among the guym/nations, taken hold/natqabal in belief/ba amunah in the world, taken up in glory

The ADON and ADONI changes:


Act 2:34  “For Dawiḏ did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself said, ‘יהוה said to my master/ADONI, “Sit at My right hand, 
Act 2:35  until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.
Act 2:36  “Therefore let all the house of Yisra’ĕl know for certain that Elohim has made this יהושע, whom you impaled, both ADON (Master) and Messiah.” TS2009

If you notice in the above translation both ADONI and ADON are used (verse 34 ADONI) (verse 36 ADON). The translation wants us to believe both without a distinction between the two while the so called scholars believe adoni to be rendered to Yahusha seeing his humanity as adoni means master, as in a human master. Unitarism Messianic Judaism wants you to believe 'adoni' an earthly ruling man. If you see verse 36 says Aluahym has made this Yahusha whom you impaled, both ADON and Messiah whereas the verse in Hebrew reads

I looked up Acts 2:36 word to word in Hebrew and here is the correct translation:

Act 2:36  לכן ידע־נא בית־ישראל כלו ברור כי האלהים שם את־ישוע זה אשר צלבתם לאדון ולמשיח׃

Acts 2:36 Therefore/laken let know/yedana all the/kulo house/beyt of Yisrael for certain/barur that/kiy the Elohim/ha Aluahym has placed/sam Yahusha this/zeh  whom/asher you crucified ( ts’lab’tem) as YHUH (ADON) and the Mashiyach.

In simple English: Acts 2:36 Therefore let know all the house of Yisrael for certain that the Elohim has placed Yahusha this whom you crucified as YHUH (ADON) and the Mashiyach.

The Hebrew word 'sam' (samek mem) means 'placed'. It's not clear whether the word there is 'sam' or 'sham' because when they do a reverse translation the samek in most places gets auto converted to a 'shin'. If they meant 'sham' then 'sham' means 'name' and the translation would render as follows:

Acts 2:36 Therefore let know all the house of Yisrael for certain that the Elohim has named/sham Yahusha this whom you crucified as YHUH (ADON) and the Mashiyach.

Psa 110:1  A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. KJV

Most of the Hebrew texts say 'Adoni' and translate as lord with a lower case for Yahusha ha Mashiyach a title used for human rulers. Something somewhere is wrong and since Dead Sea scrolls don't have Psalms 110:1 to verify how it was written in the oldest translation, we only have the Aleppo Codex so we have to look at it to understand what it says there

Psa 110:1  יהוה said to my Master/ADONI, “Sit at My right hand, Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” TS2009

Psalms 110:1 א לדוד מזמור נאם יהוה לאדני--שב לימיני עד-אשית איביך הדם לרגלי (Aleppo Codex)

א (Alaph) לדוד (La Daud: of Daud) מזמור (Mizmor: A Song)נאם (na am: Uttered)יהוה (YHUH:Yahuah)לאדני (la Adoni: to my master)שב (Shab: Sit)לימיני (to my right) עד (ad: until)אשית (Ashayat: I make)איביך (Aybayak: your enemies)הדם (ha dam: the blood)לרגלי (la ragalay: of your feet)

In Simple English: Psalms 110:1 Alaph. Of Daud A Song. Uttered Yahuah to Adoni sit to my right hand until I make your enemies the blood of your feet.

Unitarians who have the same belief of Rabbanical Judaism look at the word 'adoni' and quickly point out that Yahusha is a human master and not Divine (because of the word) on the same ground as Yahuah himself as in a divine prophetic utterance saying this in Psalms 110:1. Firstly Rabbanical Judaism is divided on this verse as many don't believe in Mashiyach and render this verse to Abraham, yet some say it's one of the High priests and yet others say the adoni is Daud. The pen of the scribes changed the tetragrammation as in Paleo Hebrew YHUH to Adon and adoni. Below are the proof verses where the name YHUH (Yahuah) appears in the original texts but the pen of the scribes have changed it to 'adoni' for Yahuah.

Genesis 18:3,27,30,32; 19:18; 20:4. Exodus 4:10,13; 5:22; 15:17; 34:9,9. Numbers 14:17. Joshua 7:8. Judges 6:15; 13:8. 1 Kings 3:10,15; 22:6. 2Kings 7:6; 19:23. Isaiah 3:17,18; 4:4; 6:1,8,11; 7:14,20; 8:7; 9:8,17; 10:12; 11:11; 21:6,8,16; 28:2; 29:13; 30:20; 37:24; 38:14,16; 49:14. Ezekiel 18:25,29; 21:13; 33:17,29. Amos 5:16; 7:7,8; 9:1. Zechariah 9:4. Micah 1:2. Malachi 1:12,14. Psalm 2:4; 16:2; 22:19,30; 30:8; 35:3,17,22; 37:12; 38:9,15,22; 39:7; 40:17; 44:23; 51:15; 54:4; 55:9; 57:9; 59:11; 62:12; 66:18; 68:11,17,19,22,26,32; 73:20; 77:2,7; 78:65; 79:12; 86:3,4,5,8,9,12,15; 89:49,50; 90:1,17; 110:5; 130:2,3,6. Daniel 1:2; 9:3,4,7,9,15,16,17,19,19,19. Lamentations 1:14,15,15; 2:1,2,5,7,18,19,20; 3:31,36,37,58. Ezra 10:3. Nehemiah 1:11; 4:14. Job 28:28.

Firstly one must understand how they got this word ADON?

They got this word from Torah. I have briefly shown this in my study ' Exposition on the Tabernacle of Witness' in my study

Exo 26:19  And thou shalt make forty sockets/adan H134 of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets/H134 adan under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets/H134 adan under another board for his two tenons. 

The word 'adan' H134 is from the same word 'adon' H113

H134
אֶדֶן
'eden
eh'-den
From the same as H113 (in the sense of strength); a basis (of a building, a column, etc.): - foundation, socket.

H113
אָדֹן    אָדוֹן
'âdôn    'âdôn
aw-done', aw-done'
From an unused root (meaning to rule); sovereign, that is, controller (human or divine): - lord, master, owner. 

The word 'Adan' and 'Adon' means 'The foundation of a column or pillar as the support of the structure'

The replaced Yahuah's name to 'ADON/ADONI' not only in the OT but also in the Renewed Testament and the Masoretes vowel pointing gives the same word different pronunciation and a different meaning altogether unless one sees the originality of the word in supporting the tabernacle/mishkanot in lifting up something that is taken down and re-erected. The picture is of Yisrael in the wilderness journey in a TRANSITION from Turahless to Turah in rehearsals. While they journeyed the tabernacle was removed and its items carried by the Leuites until they camped for sometime in the wilderness and the tabernacle fastened by the adon/scokets. This kept happening for 40 years until they reached the promised land and their sojourning ended and the ark came to it's resting place in the time of Daud who desired to build a house to the name of Yahuah. This was Yahuah's response to Daud through Nathan the prophet.

2Sa 7:1  And it came to be when the sovereign was dwelling in his house, and יהוה had given him rest from all his enemies all around, 
2Sa 7:2  that the sovereign said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I am dwelling in a house of cedar, but the ark of Elohim dwells within curtains.” 
2Sa 7:3  And Nathan said to the sovereign, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for יהוה is with you.” 
2Sa 7:4  And it came to be that night that the word of יהוה came to Nathan, saying, 
2Sa 7:5  “Go and say to My servant Dawiḏ, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Would you build a house for Me to dwell in? 
2Sa 7:6  “For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the children of Yisra’ĕl up from Mitsrayim, even to this day, but have moved about in a Tent and in a Dwelling Place. 
2Sa 7:7  “Wherever I have walked with all the children of Yisra’ĕl, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ ” ’ 
2Sa 7:8  “And now, say to My servant Dawiḏ, ‘Thus said יהוה of hosts, “I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be ruler over My people, over Yisra’ĕl. 
2Sa 7:9  “And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are on the earth. 
2Sa 7:10  “And I shall appoint a place for My people Yisra’ĕl, and shall plant them, and they shall dwell in a place of their own and no longer be afraid, neither shall the children of wickedness oppress them again, as at the first, 
2Sa 7:11  even from the day I appointed rulers over My people Yisra’ĕl, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. And יהוה has declared to you that He would make you a house. 
2Sa 7:12  “When your days are filled and you rest with your fathers, I shall raise up your seed after you, who comes from your inward parts, and shall establish his reign. 
2Sa 7:13  “He does build a house for My Name, and I shall establish the throne of his reign forever. 

The same transition we see in the book of Acts from physical Turah to spiritual Turah, from being a physical Yahudite to a spiritual Yahudite until it was established through the doctrines established by the counsel of the emissaries who were taught by the Ruach in their sojournings.

One of the reasons why the word ADON would have been used to replace the four letter tetragrammation YHUH would have been as the word shows a similarity to the meaning of the name Yahuah which means 'Yod/Hand Hey/behold Uau/Nailed Hey/Behold' as in Yahuah making his tabernacle with man just as John 1:14 speaking of Ha Mashiyach says 'And the Dabar was made flesh and tabernacled with us'. Below is the word Adon which shows the heavenly supremacy through the doorway pegging with us as the seed/son.


While the word 'adonay/adoni' shows a limitation of a dwelling ruler. See the picture below:

Adonay/Adoni:





Mat 22:41  And when the Pharisees were gathered together, יהושע asked them, 
Mat 22:42  saying, “What do you think concerning the Messiah? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “The Son of Dawiḏ.” 
Mat 22:43  He said to them, “Then how does Dawiḏ in the RUACH call Him ‘ADON,’ saying, 
Mat 22:44  ‘יהוה said to my Master/ADONI, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool of Your feet” ’? 
Mat 22:45  “If then Dawiḏ calls Him ‘Master/ADON,’ how is He his Son?” 
Mat 22:46  And no one was able to answer Him a word, and from that day on no one was bold enough to ask Him any more questions. 

While the same thing is seen in the translation in Matthew 22:41-46 where both ADON and ADONI is used to describe Yahusha ha Mashiyach, the passages quoted by Yahusha ha Mashiyach himself brings out the truth of his heavenly supremacy over Daud which Kepha affirms in Acts 2:34 “For Dawiḏ did not ascend into the heavens.....
Yahusha makes the Yahudites thinking that if Mashiyach was the Son of Dawid how does Dawid in the Ruach call him 'ADON'? Dawid was a king and no king would call his son/seed to be above him. In this case Dawid called him ADON/YHUH because his/Dawid's rule was because of Him and not vice-versa. Many miss this point. So whether Yahusha used the name YHUH instead of ADON as per their texts or used the replacement ADON for YHUH, they had no answer to his question because they were not able to comprehend how YHUH/ADON could be the Son of Dawid and yet be his YHUH/ADON. The same can be understood when Kepha on the Day of Shavout being filled by the Ruach called Yahusha as YHUH or the replacement from their texts ADON as seen in Acts 2;36. The result was they were cut to the heart.

Keeping Masha's Turah in the letter:

We see many instances where the emissaries went up to the Yahudite temple at various times for prayer, for cleansing laws etc even after the veil of the temple was torn into two when Yahusha hung on the stake, many people looking at the transitional behavior and not discerning would do the same things the emissaries did in their sojourning/transition from the physical to the spiritual

Act 3:1  And Kĕpha and Yoḥanan were going up to the Set-apart Place at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 

It says Kepha and Yohanan went up to the Set-apart place at the hour of prayer at the ninth hour. Some even would look at uninspired gospels to teach that James the emissary was a Zadok priest would go into the most set apart place on the Day of Atonement as he had 5000 followers who believed in the name of Yahusha and the Pharisees were afraid of him and the followers and allowed him. Such teachings show the carnality of those professing faith in Yahusha and do not understand why the book of Hebrews was written and one of the verses reads that we enter the Most-Set apart place by the blood of Yahusha through the veil of his flesh.

Heb 10:19  So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of יהושע, 
Heb 10:20  by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 

There are various scriptures in Acts of the apostles showing Shaul/Paul went upto Yerushalayim to keep the feasts of Yahuah, and there are also scriptures where he purified himself and offered a sacrifice for cleansing on the advice of James to affirm to the believing Yahudites (in their transition journey) that he kept the Turah of Masha in the letter so as to keep them united in Mashiyach as many Yahudites were adamant that they had to keep Masha's Turah even after turning to Mashiyach.

Act 21:17  And when we had arrived in Yerushalayim, the brothers received us gladly. 
Act 21:18  And on the following day Sha’ul went in with us to Yaʽaqoḇ, and all the elders came. 
Act 21:19  And having greeted them, he was relating one by one what Elohim had done among the gentiles through his service. 
Act 21:20  And when they heard it, they praised the Master. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands of Yehuḏim there are who have believed, and all are ardent for the Torah. 
Act 21:21  “And they have been informed about you that you teach all the Yehuḏim who are among the gentiles to forsake Mosheh, saying not to circumcise the children nor to walk according to the practices. 
Act 21:22  “What then is it? They shall certainly hear that you have come. 
Act 21:23  “So do this, what we say to you: We have four men who have taken a vow. 
Act 21:24  “Take them and be cleansed with them, and pay their expenses so that they shave their heads. And all shall know that what they have been informed about you is not so, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Torah. 
Act 21:25  “But concerning the gentiles who believe, we have written and decided that they should keep themselves from what is offered to idols, and blood, and what is strangled, and whoring.”
Act 21:26  Then Sha’ul took the men on the next day, and having been cleansed with them, went into the Set-apart Place to announce the completion of the days of separation – until the offering should be presented for each one of them. 

We see Shaul shaving his hair as he took a vow (according to Masha's Turah of purification as seen above in Acts 21:17-26) and also was keen to go upto Yerushalayim to keep one of the feasts of Yahuah to keep the Yahudites who turned to Mashiyach from falling away from their new faith. This shows the emissaries understood that a transition doesn't happen overnight. 

Act 18:18  And Sha’ul, having stayed several days more, having taken leave of the brothers, was sailing for Syria, and Priscilla and Aqulas were with him, having shaved his hair at Kenḥrea, for he had taken a vow. 
Act 18:19  And he came to Ephesos, and left them there, but he himself went into the congregation and reasoned with the Yehuḏim. 
Act 18:20  And when they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he declined, 
Act 18:21  but took leave of them, saying, “I have to keep this coming festival in Yerushalayim by all means, but I shall come back to you, Elohim desiring so.” And he sailed from Ephesos. 

Act 20:16  For Sha’ul had decided to sail past Ephesos, so that he might lose no time in Asia, for he was hurrying to be at Yerushalayim, if possible, on the Day of the Festival of Weeks

We see the same Shaul understood that it wasn't required to go upto Yerushalayim as stated in the Turah that 3 times every male should appear before me with an offering for the feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Shavout and Feast of Tabernacles as he taught the Corinthian assembly the spiritual application of the feast of Pesach and Unleavened bread in the right understanding that the leaven was sin and the elect in Mashiyach were to cleanse themselves from the old leaven so that they become a new lump in Mashiyach our Pesach who was offered for us.

1Co 5:7  Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Messiah our Passover was offered for us. 
1Co 5:8  So then let us observe the festival, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 

Act 20:5  And these, going ahead, waited for us at Troas. 
Act 20:6  And we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days. 

Day of Unleavened Bread required all males to be in Yerushalayim but Shaul was not at Yerushalayim. He at times went up and at times didn't. The times he went up was to strengthen the brethren in faith and not to keep the requirement of the Turah that 3 times every year every male should appear before Yahuah in the place he chooses i.e. Yerushalayim. We see the writer of book of Hebrews showing Abraham looked to the Heavenly country in which righteousness dwells and understood the promise made to him that Yahuah would give the land of Canaan to his seed forever spiritually and so did the fathers of faith.

Heb 11:8  By belief, Aḇraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he was about to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 
Heb 11:9  By belief, he sojourned in the land of promise as a stranger, dwelling in tents with Yitsḥaq and Yaʽaqoḇ, the heirs with him of the same promise, 
Heb 11:10  for he was looking for the city having foundations, whose builder and maker is Elohim. 

Heb 11:15  And yet, if they had indeed kept remembering that place from which they had come out, they would have had the chance to return. 
Heb 11:16  But now they long for a better place, that is, a heavenly. Therefore Elohim is not ashamed to be called their Elohim, for He has prepared a city for them. 

It was the Ruach working in and through them in strengthening those turning to Mashiyach in the fulness of the stature of the renewed man which Shaul spoke of.

Col 3:10  and have put on the new one who is renewed in knowledge according to the likeness of Him who created him, 
Col 3:11  where there is not Greek and Yehuḏite, circumcised and uncircumcised, foreigner, Scythian, slave, free, but Messiah is all, and in all. 

Eph 4:22  that you put off – with regard to your former way of life – the old man, being corrupted according to the desires of the deceit, 
Eph 4:23  and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 
Eph 4:24  and that you put on the renewed man which was created according to Elohim, in righteousness and set-apartness of the truth.

Eph 4:11  And He Himself gave some as emissaries, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as shepherds and teachers 
Eph 4:12  for the perfecting of the set-apart ones, to the work of service to a building up of the body of the Messiah, 
Eph 4:13  until we all come to the unity of the belief and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohim, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the completeness of Messiah, 

So to go upto Yerushalayim to keep a feast or to do carnal things as sacrifice a lamb, remove literal leaven from houses during Unleavened bread, building and living in literal sukka's during Sukkot etc shows that those who claim to be Yahudites have not transitioned because they formulate their doctrines from the book of Acts based on the behavior of the people who were transitioning.

Reason and understand why there would be a separate set of rules for the guym/gentiles (lost sheep of the house of Yisrael) and read for yourself and understand that there was no problem for the Yisraelites in dispersion/scattering to understand the faith in Mashiyach for there was no transition for them from literal/physical Turah to spiritual. It was purely spiritual and they had no problem with that. The problem was with the believing Yahudites who taught that unless you are circumcised according to the practice of Masha, you are not saved. They were in a transition.

Act 15:1  And certain men came down from Yehuḏah and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised, according to the practice of Mosheh, you are unable to be saved.” 
Act 15:2  So when Sha’ul and Barnaḇah had no small dissension and dispute with them, they arranged for Sha’ul and Barnaḇah and certain others of them to go up to Yerushalayim, to the emissaries and elders, about this question. 

Act 15:22  Then it seemed good to the emissaries and elders, with all the assembly, to send chosen men from among them to Antioch with Sha’ul and Barnaḇah: Yehuḏah being called Barsabba, and Sila, leading men among the brothers, 
Act 15:23  having written by their hand this: The emissaries and the elders and the brothers, To the brothers who are of the gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Kilikia: Greetings. 
Act 15:24  Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your lives, to whom we gave no command – 
Act 15:25  it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnaḇah and Sha’ul, 
Act 15:26  men who have given up their lives for the Name of our Master יהושע Messiah. 
Act 15:27  We have therefore sent Yehuḏah and Sila, who are also confirming this by word of mouth. 
Act 15:28  For it seemed good to the Set-apart Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessities: 
Act 15:29  that you abstain from what is offered to idols, and blood, and what is strangled, and whoring. If you keep yourselves from these, you shall do well. Be strong!

The same was reiterated by James when he asked Shaul to be purified with some brothers in the temple for the sake of the believing Yahudites.

Act 21:25  “But concerning the gentiles who believe, we have written and decided that they should keep themselves from what is offered to idols, and blood, and what is strangled, and whoring.”

My prayer is that everyone reading this study understand and keep themselves from carnal things as carnal things do not appease Yahuah as the flesh is against the ruach. My prayer is also that the reader understand and affirm the divinity of Mashiyach based on the facts stated in this study to show how the pen of the scribes changed the YHUH to ADON and ADONI to demean our Savior.

Refuting Apocrypha Book of Hanok

The full version of the Book of Enoch is a 15th century text or later that is only found in the Ethiopian “Ge'ez” language. Ge'ez is a Semitic language that is used for liturgy in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Catholic Church and in the Ethiopian Jewish congregations.
Fragments in Aramaic, Greek and Latin of the Book of Enoch have been found. It is generally believed by scholars, that the Book of Enoch may have been originally written in Aramaic or Greek and later translated into the Ethiopian Ge’ez language after the 3rd century AD
This book was never included in the Yahudite Canon
There are various portions as mentioned in scriptures for example ‘’ Is this not written in the book of Yasher?’’
2Sa 1:18 and he ordered “The Bow” to be taught to the children of Yehuḏah. See, it is written in the Book of Yashar:
The book of Yasher was never in Hebrew Cannon. Lately many who call on the name of Yahuah and Yahusha have gone into apostasy into looking into these books trying to fit their beliefs from these books into the inspired texts. The following is a quote from book of Yashar which elevates Enoch to be called to rule the angels:
Yashar 3:23 And in some time after, when the kings and princes and the sons of men were speaking to Enoch, and Enoch was teaching them the ways of God, behold an angel of the Lord then called unto Enoch from heaven, and wished to bring him up to heaven to make him reign there over the sons of God, as he had reigned over the sons of men upon earth.
This is apostasy because if anything compared to the inspired text and it doesn’t match up needs to be discarded straight away. Scripture says Yahusha is the head of all principalities and powers not only in this age but in the age to come. If one accepts book of Yashar to be inspired text then he/she has 2 rulers of angels Hanok and Yahusha.
Eph 1:20 which He wrought in the Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies,
Eph 1:21 far above all rule and authority and power and mastery, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
Eph 1:22 And He put all under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all, to the assembly,
Eph 1:23 which is His body, the completeness of Him who fills all in all.
Not only this if one reads verses of the same chapter 3 Enoch is said to be Godlike in appearance as initially he separated himself from the people for 3 days and went up 1 day and then he hid himself for 6 days and appeared to his people 1 day in 7 days and after that once in a month and then once in a year and the people became afraid of him on account of the Godlike (excuse me for the term, I am using it as its written in the book of Yashar in this way) awe of his countenance.
Yashar 3:18 And Enoch did so, but did not entirely secret himself from them, but kept away from the sons of men three days and then went to them for one day.
19 And during the three days that he was in his chamber, he prayed to, and praised the Lord his God, and the day on which he went and appeared to his subjects he taught them the ways of the Lord, and all they asked him about the Lord he told them.
20 And he did in this manner for many years, and he afterward concealed himself for six days, and appeared to his people one day in seven; and after that once in a month, and then once in a year, until all the kings, princes and sons of men sought for him, and desired again to see the face of Enoch, and to hear his word; but they could not, as all the sons of men were greatly afraid of Enoch, and they feared to approach him on account of the Godlike awe that was seated upon his countenance; therefore no man could look at him, fearing he might be punished and die.
We have scripture only recording of Masha’s face shining when he came down from Mount Sinai and Shaul the emissary confirms that if the administering of death in letters, engraved on stones was esteemed so that the children of Yasharal couldn’t steadfastly look at the face of Masha because of the passing esteem of the written Torah, the administering of the Ruach which is the Torah of life is much more. There is no record of any other person apart from Masha whose face shone mentioned in scripture and tied to the ministration of the letter.
Exo 34:29 And it came to be, when Mosheh came down from Mount Sinai, while the two tablets of the Witness were in Mosheh’s hand when he came down from the mountain, that Mosheh did not know that the skin of his face shone since he had spoken with Him.
Exo 34:30 And Aharon and all the children of Yisra’ĕl looked at Mosheh and saw the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.
2Co 3:6 who also made us competent as servants of a renewed covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit, for the letter kills but the Spirit gives life.
2Co 3:7 But if the administering of death in letters, engraved on stones, was esteemed, so that the children of Yisra’ĕl were unable to look steadily at the face of Mosheh because of the esteem of his face, which was passing away,
2Co 3:8 how much more esteemed shall the administering of the Spirit not be?
The word Canon comes from the Hebrew word Qaneh which means reed (H7070 qaneh) as stated in Ezekiel 40:3 & Ezekiel 42:16
In his writings the Yahudite historian Josephus, states this:
For we have not an innumerable multitude of books among us, disagreeing from and contradicting one another, [as the Greeks have,] but only twenty-two books, which contain the records of all the past times; which are justly believed to be divine; and of them five belong to Moses, which contain his laws and the traditions of the origin of mankind till his death. This interval of time was little short of three thousand years; but as to the time from the death of Moses till the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, who reigned after Xerxes, the prophets, who were after Moses, wrote down what was done in their times in thirteen books. The remaining four books contain hymns to God, and precepts for the conduct of human life. It is true, our history hath been written since Artaxerxes very particularly, but hath not been esteemed of the like authority with the former by our forefathers, because there hath not been an exact succession of prophets since that time; and how firmly we have given credit to these books of our own nation is evident by what we do; for during so many ages as have already passed, no one has been so bold as either to add any thing to them, to take any thing from them, or to make any change in them; but it is become natural to all Jews immediately, and from their very birth, to esteem these books to contain Divine doctrines, and to persist in them, and, if occasion be willingly to die for them.i
He states there were only 22 books which contain the record of all the past times which are justly believed to be divine. Why does he say just 22 books whereas our Protestant bibles have 39 books listed?
In a typical Jewish printing of the Scriptures the arrangement is as follows:
The Law: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy: 5 books • The Prophets: Joshua, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel- 7 books The 12 books (Hosea to Malachi) included in the prophets as minor prophets • The Writings: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth-Judges, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra-Nehemiah, Chronicles: 10 books
Hence 5 + 7 + 10 =22
In Protestant Bibles, many of the books are divided—Samuel becomes 1 and 2 Samuel, Chronicles becomes 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah are separate books, as are Ruth and Judges. This is how it becomes 39 books in our bibles. Here is how:
The Law: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy: 5 books • The Prophets: Joshua, 1 Samuel & 2 Samuel, 1 Kings & 2 Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah-Lamentations, Ezekiel- 9 books The 12 books (Hosea to Malachi) minor prophets -12 books • The Writings: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Judges, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, 1 Chronicles & 2 Chronicles: 13 books
5 + 9 + 12 + 13 = 39
Paul quotes from the Greek writer and comedian Menander [Thais 218] – “Don't be deceived! ‘Evil companionships corrupt good morals’." found in 1 Corinthians 15:33. This is a truth that is also found in scripture [Proverbs 13:20 and 22:24-25], but instead of using Hebrew scripture, Paul may have thought the Greeks in the Corinthian Church would understand the message better if he quoted from a pagan Greek writer they may have been familiar with.
Paul quotes from a pagan scientist, philosopher, and poet named Aratus – “'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'” found in Acts 17:28. This poem was actually used for praise to Zeus, but Paul used it to teach about the true Alahym.
Paul quotes Epimenides, another pagan writer in Titus 1:12: “One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."
Is this statement about all Cretans biblically true? The current population on the Island of Crete is about 624,000 people, so are we to believe that all 624,000 of these people are always liars, evil beasts and gluttons? It's more likely Paul was using this pagan prophet to make a point.
So, the question we need to ask is should these pagan writer’s be considered "Alahym inspired"? These pagan writers are quoted in the bible by the Apostle Paul, does that mean we should make all the works of these pagan writers inspired? Should we put all their pagan poems, prophecies and writings in the bible? The answer to all these questions is absolutely not. The fact that Yahuah uses the term ‘’Is this not written in the book of Yasher’’ is a test to his people to examine and compare to discard falsehood, while at the same time to disperse those not chosen into confusion so that they don’t arrive at truth. People don’t share this common sense when it comes to the Book of Enoch and other books such as Yasher and Jubilees. Some think that just because the Apostle Jude supposedly quotes Enoch 1:9, then that means the entire Book of Enoch is inspired. If this principle was used with Menande, Artus, and Epimenides, then our bible would be much larger and filled with many pagan teachings that would introduce strange doctrines in the bible.
Holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him. For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses,teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain's sake. One of them, a prophet of their own, said, ‘Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.’ This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.” (Titus 1:9-14)
People who accept this work as equal to biblical truth need to heed the advice of Paul: "...Reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not paying attention to Jewish fables..."
Quote of Jude:
Jude 1:14-15: "...Behold, Yahuah (name changed) cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly..." KJV
Jude 1:14-15: "... Behold, the Yahuah (name changed) came with ten thousands of his holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought..." ASV
Book of Enoch 1:9: "And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgment upon all, and to destroy all the ungodly..." (R.H. Charles translation, 1917)
Book of Enoch 2:1 (1:9) "Behold, he comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon them, and destroy the wicked..." (Translated from Ethiopic by Richard Laurence, London, 1883)
Jude states to convince the ungodly whereas book of Enoch says to destroy the wicked
Two different meanings altogether
Did Yahusha quote from the book of Enoch?
But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." (John 4:14 WEB)
The supposed 1 Enoch similarity
Enoch 48:1 “And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness which was inexhaustible: And around it were many fountains of wisdom; and all the thirsty drank of them, and were filled with wisdom, And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.”
In John 4:14 Yahusha was speaking of living water springing up from within a person. However, 1 Enoch is not talking about this same thing. It is more likely that the writers of 1 Enoch may have borrowed from Isaiah 12:3, 55:1, 58:11; Jeremiah 2:13; Psalm 36:8-9 and modified the concepts found in these verses.
I can’t list all the contradictions from the book of Enoch but here are a few from the enoch book online here: http://www.hiddenbible.com/enoch/on...
1) The Book of Enoch contradicts scripture by saying all sin in the world did not originate with Adam, as the scripture states, but from a fallen angel named Azazel. Enoch 10:8
2) The Book of Enoch claims angels can cleanse the earth of all sin. This is counter to scripture and the message of the Basarah and makes the Book of Enoch heretical. Enoch 10:20-21
3) The Book of Enoch states that the human women who had sexual relations with fallen angels, and gave birth to giants will also be transformed into mythical creatures known as “sirens” which is the promotion of pagan teachings. Enoch 19:2
4) The Book of Enoch states that in the last days the children of the holy elect will come down from heaven to be one with the children of men. This is another strange concept that disagrees with scripture. Enoch 39:1
5) Yahusha stated he was going into heaven to prepare a mansion for the righteous, but the Book of Enoch says sinners must be evicted from the heavenly mansions first. Enoch 41:2
6) Yahusha shed his blood as the final sacrifice, but the Book of Enoch says Alahym will still require a certain number of righteous to shed their blood as an offering required by him.
7) Scriptures teach those who are in Sheol will be cast into the lake of fire, but the Book of Enoch says that Alahym will choose the righteous and holy from hell. Enoch 51:1-2
8) The Book of Enoch teaches that only the angels built the Ark, but the scriptures say Noah and his family were involved with the Ark. As a sign of his obedience and faith to Alahym Noah took the instructions of Alahym and completed the Ark. Angels are never mentioned as the builders of the Ark. Enoch 67:2
9) Book of Enoch states Enoch chapter 40:9 and the fourth, (angel) who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life, is named Phanuel.’ This is blasphemy because an angel name Phanuel replaces the Ruach of Aluahym which brings the true repentance leading one to Mashiyach
10) The Book of Enoch teaches pagan mythology, by claiming the Sun and Moon are beings that ride in chariots across the sky. Then the Book of Enoch adds further heresy, by stating this knowledge about the cosmos was given from heaven. Enoch 72:4-5 & Enoch 73:12
Enoch 75:8: "And I saw chariots in the heaven, running in the world, above those portals in which revolve the stars that never set."
The teaching in the Book of Enoch is not meant to be a poetic illustration. In fact, the Book of Enoch claims this information about how the Sun and Moon go across the sky in a chariot, was actually knowledge given to Enoch from heaven by Uriel the angel (See chapters 79, and 80:1). However, how could that be true when we see king Yosiah destroying the dedication and symbolism of the Sun Chariot?
2Ki 23:11 And he/Yosiah did away with the horses that the sovereigns of Yehuḏah had given to the sun, at the entrance to the House of יהוה, by the room of Nathan-Meleḵ the eunuch, that were in the court. And he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
11) The Book of Enoch speaks wickedly about the Second Temple and the sacrifices, which Alahym considered qodesh because it was him who strengthend the hands of Ezra and Nehemiah to continue the work of rebuilding . Enoch 89:72-74
12) The Book of Enoch says that Noah’s father was fearful of Noah when he was born, because Noah did not appear human and had eyes like laser beams that illuminated the entire house. In addition, the Book of Enoch says that Noah and his grandfather Methuselah were able to speak to Enoch from the edge of the earth and that Enoch appeared when summoned to shared secrets from heaven. Not only does this contradict scripture, but it appears to be very pagan, or like occult teachings, which is probably why many in the occult support this book. Enoch 106:2-3
13) Enoch is elevated to be above Mashiyach as the book teaches he was called by Alahym to come to heaven to rule his angels just as he ruled mankind
14) The book also teaches Enoch kept himself most of the time locked up away from men and came very seldom to teach them the words of Alahym and the whole world came to him to hear the pure words
There are so many other garbage stuff which is not worth a read. Doctrines of demons
Moreover the temple scroll found in the Dead sea scrolls as the book of Enoch adds to the Tanak by stating laws which are more burdensome than Masha’s Turah.
One of them being no consummation of marriage within the temple city and purification for upto 3 days to even enter the temple city for the married couple who consummate marriage outside the temple city
The book also elevates the imaginary second temple of the writer of the Temple scroll above the one which Solomon built and says it should have been built like the one the writer understood it
The basis of calendar’s are from these pagan demonic books which are full of heresy
Just because it fits to what you believe dosen’t make these books inspired text
Yahusha calls all those into repentance who have ventured into these pagan beliefs
I am not a solicitor of any calendar but urge you and everyone occupied in a calendar to see the times we live in with the sign of the sun turning black and the moon into blood before the great day of Yahuah.

The Renewal

Psalms 81:3  Blow a shophar in the New Moon/chadash H2320, in the full moon/kasah H3677 for the day of our festival/chag.
 4  For this is a law a for Yisra’ĕl, And a right-ruling of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ

Chadash: H2320 Renew


There are three calendars floating today, Enoch calendar which only takes the path of the sun, Rabbinical Judaism only takes the path of moon and then there is a luni Solar calendar which only takes the path of the Full moon. Each camp are adamant they have the right calendar and accuses the other camp to be unclean. This study is an attempt to help one discern the signs of times in understanding the historic fulfillment of the feasts of Yahuah spiritually in the visitation/appointed time.

Let's begin by understanding Yahuah's promise to Abraham

Gen 18:10  And He said, “I shall certainly turn/shub H7725 return/ashub H7725 to you according to the time/ayt H6256 of life/chayah H2416, and see, Sarah your wife is to have a son!” And Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.

Gen 18:14  “Is dabar/H1697 too hard for יהוה? At the appointed time/muaed H4150 I am going to return/ashub H7725 to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah is to have a son.”

We have seen these verses before in our study 'Yasharal of Aluahym' but I would like to touch base on these verses as this is very important to understand why Yahuah gave Yasharal his muaedim/appointed times as he says in Leviticus 23:2  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘The appointed times/muaedim H4150 of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times/muaedim H4150, are these:

These appointed times/muaedim of Yahuah were shadows or a rehearsal his bride would need to walk in for her purification until she is purified in her visitation when the dayspring from high would visit her. Yahuah's promise to Abraham was that he would turn and return to Sarah according to the time/ayt of life and she shall conceive and bear a son. This son would be the son of promise. Sarah was in her deadness of her womb and Yahuah would revive the womb to bring forth his promised son. And in Gen 18:14 Yahuah says '...At the APPOINTED TIME/MUAED I am going to return to you......''

This was the promise of springing forth of Mashiyach from her barren womb which would now be fruitful

Luk 19:44  and dash you to the ground, and your children within you. And they shall not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time/ayt of your visitation.

While the immediate fulfillment was the birth of Yitshaq and many people stop there but the promise was of being born from above i.e. New Yerushalam whom Sarah was a type of.

Gal 4:22  For it has been written that Aḇraham had two sons, one by a female servant, the other by a free woman.
Gal 4:23  But he who was of the female servant was born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through promise. 
Gal 4:24  This is allegorical, for these are the two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai which brings forth slavery, which is Haḡar,
Gal 4:25  for this Haḡar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children.
Gal 4:26  But the Yerushalayim above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Gal 4:27  For it has been written, “Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who do not have birth pains! For the deserted one has many more children than she who has a husband.”
Gal 4:28  And we, brothers, as Yitsḥaq was, are children of promise. 

The word used in Gen 18:10,14 for time is 'ayt' H6256


The word 'ayt' has the ayin which is the eye and the tau which is the cross/stake. The time of life/chayah is the eye looking at the stake/cross from where we would get life. The Paleo Hebrew emanations are deep and point to Mashiyach who would be the one who would give us the life when we meet him in the appointed time/muaed. It's sad that the people of his time and even today missed the day of their visitation as they are in a continuous rehearsal having borrowed the wine from Yahudism after the flesh like the foolish virigns.

Luke 1:68 Blessed be Yahuah the Al of Yasharal, For He has watched over/paqad H4662 and accomplished redemption for His people,
Luke 1:69 And has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David His servant.

The Abary word 'paqad' they translated as 'visitation' which is one of the meanings as the word means 'Oversee/Watch/Appoint/Visit'. The picture is of Yahuah guarding/watching over the womb of Sarah in renewing it to bring it from barrenness to fruitfulness to bring forth his Son who would meet his people face to face and in him his people would receive life. Those calling for a literal rehearsal after the appointed time/day of visitation have missed Yahusha ha Mashiyach completely as all the appointed times find its spiritual fulfillment in him. For details you may visit my study on 'The appointed times of Yahuah'.

There is no word 'calendar, solar, lunar, luni-solar' in scriptures. All calendars are man made for time keeping. Yahuah when giving instructions for a rehearsal gives simple instructions on how his muaedim had to be observed. Hence we will now look at Psalms 81:3-5 and Psalms 104:19 closely in this study to understand this.

Psalms 81: 3  Blow a shophar in the New Moon/chadash H2320, in the full moon/kasah H3677 for the day of our festival/chag.
 4  For this is a law a for Yisra’ĕl, And a right-ruling of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ.

The word chadash H2318 means renew and is used as 'Barayat Chadashah' which means 'Renewed Covenant'

Matt 26:28 “for this is My blood of the renewed/chadashah covenant/barayat, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.”

Jer 31:31  “See, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “when I shall make a renewed/chadash H2319  covenant/baryath with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah,

H2319 chadash is from H2318 which means renew

The shophar had to be blown in the renewal? What renews apart from the moon
The word for moon is yarach H3394 where the yad in the word is the hand and rach means travel. Yasharal would see the yad/hand of Yahuah in rach/travel to arrive at the desitination.

Rach: 



Gen 1:14  And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times/muaed 4150, and for days and years,

Many people follow a solar calendar based on the book of Enoch. Firstly the book of Enoch is abominable as it holds doctrines like Enoch being called to heaven to rule the angels and in his journey to seven heavens. The so called Enoch in that book reveals the path of the sun and his encounters with different angels as he ascends. I don't want to get into that but people can go to any extent into apostasy to prove their calendar.

We have to be consistent in interpreting scripture and when Yahuah made the two great lights i.e. the sun and the moon he made them for signs and appointed times, and for days and years. While some take only the path of the sun to determine a solar calendar, the others only take the path of the moon making up a lunar calendar and yet a third view is of a luni solar calendar which only takes path of the Full moon. While all three of these calendars have some truth in them, we strive to understand a whole perspective to understand how the rehearsal took place until the appointed time of the visitation from the Dayspring from high.

Psa 104:19  He made the moon/yarach H3394 for appointed times/muaedim H4150; The sun knows its coming in/mabua H3996.

All of the translations say ...''the sun knows its going down'' and they are partly right but a closer look at the word 'mabua' H3996 and its root word 'bua' sheds a light on what the Psalmist is trying to say.


The root word 'bua' in 'mabua' means to fill/entrance/coming in. While we know the sun sets in the west, it's path doesn't stop there, it continues into its path of the entrance the next morning rising again and this is exactly what this word means. Let me give you a few examples.

Psa 50:1  A Psalm of Asaph. Ěl Elohim יהוה shall speak, And He shall call the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down/mabua H3996.

Let's re-read the verse Psa 50:1  A Psalm of Asaph. Ěl Elohim יהוה shall speak, And He shall call the earth From the rising of the sun to its coming in/mabua H3996.

The verse shows a complete 'circuit' i,e, starting point to the starting point. Let me show you another example.

Psa 113:3  From the rising of the sun to its going down/mabua H3996, The Name of יהוה is praised.

Lets see the verse in the light of the word 'mabua' as 'entrance/coming in' and not going down

Psa 113:3  From the rising of the sun to its coming in/mabua H3996, The Name of יהוה is praised.

The translators would want you to praise Yahuah only from the rising of the sun to it's going down but the call is to praise him from the rising of the sun to it's coming in the next day which shows a continuous praise ascending to him.

I have only shown you examples of the sun, you may look up the word and most of the times it is interpreted correctly as 'entrance/coming in/enter into/cometh/entry/entering in etc'

Hence the verse Psa 104:19 should be correctly translated as ' He made the moon/yarach H3394 for appointed times/muaedim H4150; The sun knows its coming in/mabua H3996'

When does the sun come in? While we understand the sun coming in/entering daily when it rises in the east we must understand Psalms 104:19 in relation to his appointed times/muaedim and relate it to Gen 1:14 where Yahuah made the great lights one to rule the day and one to rule the night and he made them for signs, appointed times, seasons, days and years.

Before looking at the entrance of the sun we must also see the imagery of Heavenly Yerushalam as portrayed in Revelation 12 as Sarah with her children of promise.

Rev 12:1  And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Rev 12:2  And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

The woman was clothed with the sun, the Hebrew word for sun is 'shamash' which has root words 'sham' which means breath and 'mash' which means drawn out. The woman being clothed with the sun shows she is set-apart in being made righteous and clothed with the esteem of Yahuah just like the letter quph shows the sun on the horizon which shows the 'entrance/coming in' of the sun.





The moon under her feet shows she walked into the muaed/appointed time being purified of her impurity by travailing in birth pangs to bring forth the promised seed Yahusha Mashiyach. The 12 stars on her head shows the 12 tribes are her crown.


Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the male child.
Rev 12:14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was made whole/kalkal there for a time/muaed and times/muaedim and half /khatsay, from the presence of the serpent.

The woman was persecuted by Shatan and she was given two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness where she was made whole/kalkal (they translated it as nourished, the word kal means 'complete/whole'). She was made whole in the wilderness for muaed, muaedim and khatsay. The word khatsay means 'an arrow dividing the flesh'

khatsay: arrow dividing the flesh




The picture is of the woman being set-apart from the fleshly Yasharal as dividing of the wheat and tares, ruach from the flesh. She is made whole in the wilderness for muaedim/appointed times. It is a picture of being made whole in Yahusha ha Mashiyach and in OT she walked in the cycles of her impurity/mensuration uncleanliness year after year. For details you may look up my study on 'Enclosed in the womb'. The two wings of a great eagle is a picture of her deliverance from Egypt into the wilderness unto Yahuah.

Exo 19:4  ‘You have seen what I did to the Mitsrites, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

Some people may quickly jump into saying the woman was taken to the wilderness to observe the muaed, muaedim and khatsay, the truth revealed in this passage is she is in the wilderness (out of  carnal Yasharal) during the appointed times, after she delivers the manchild as we read in the promise Yahuah made to Abraham that he would turn and return according to the time of life and Sarah will give birth to a Son. Whereas carnal Yasharal indulges into the carnal observance of the appointed times without understanding the fulfillment in Mashiyach.

Matt 24:20 “But pray that your flight shall not be in the winter/chorep, or on a Shabbat.”
Matt 24:21 “For then there shall be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.”

They translated choreph as winter but choreph also means 'reproach, blaspheme, jeopardize, bethroed '

Choreph: H2778



Matt 24:20 pray that your escape be not when bethroed/choreph H2788 or on Sabbath
Matt 24:21 “For then there shall be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.”

Psalms 42:10  With murder in my bones, My enemies have reproached/choreph H2778 me, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your Elohim?”

Lev 19: 20  ‘And when a man has intercourse with a woman who is a female servant, choreph/bethroed H2788 to a man, and to be ransomed, but she has not been ransomed nor set free, there should be an inquiry. But they are not put to death, because she was not free.

The fleeing/escape of the woman was when she was bethroed i.e. on Sabbath. Sabbath is listed as one of the muaedim in Leviticus 23

Lev 23:2  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘The appointed times/muaedim of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times/muaedim, are these:
Lev 23:3  ‘Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a set-apart gathering. You do no work, it is a Sabbath to יהוה in all your dwellings.

A spiritual comparison shows us this beautiful truth as a warning to heed to in the end times. We also read Daniel showing us this in Daniel 12:7

Dan 12:7  And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he held up his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it would be for a time/muaed, times/muaedim, and half/khatsay. And when they have ended scattering the power of the set-apart people, then all these shall be completed. 

Now with this background let's look at the historical perspective of the observance of the muaedim/appointed times in the land of Yasharal. Let's get back to Psalms 104:19 '...the sun knows its coming in/mabua'

Entrance/coming in of the sun :

Psalms 89: 35 “Once I have sworn by My set-apartness, I do not lie to Dawiḏ: 36 “His seed shall be forever, And his throne as the sun before Me; 37 “Like the moon, it is established forever, And the witness in the heaven is steadfast.” Selah.

The witness of the sun and the moon in the heaven is steadfast established forever as the muaedim find its completeness in Mashiyach.

The following chart I drew to help the reader understand Psalms 81:3-5 & Psalms 104:19





The entrance of the sun is the beginning of the year at vernal equinox each year, that's the starting point and the sun runs its circuit to return there each year on March 20th-March 21st bringing in spring in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. The sun on its circuit runs its course and brings in summer in the southern hemisphere around 22nd/23rd of September each year and autumn in the Northern hemisphere during that time. Hence we see this as the entrance of the sun year by year for both the parts of the world.

What's important is once we understand the entrance/coming in of the sun its application to Psalms 81:3-5

Psa 81:3  Blow the ram’s horn at the time of the Renewal /Chadesh, At the full moon/kasah, on our festival/chag day.
Psa 81:4  For this is a law for Yasharal, And a right-ruling of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ.
Psa 81:5  He appointed it in Yehosĕph for a witness, When He went throughout the land of Mitsrayim; I heard a language that I did not know.

The ram's horn/shophar was to be blown at the renewal/chadash and the full moon on our festival day. In the hand drawn picture above each year at the entrance/coming of the sun at vernal equinox on March 20th-21st the first new moon closest to the vernal equinox is Abib/Nisan 1
Counting 14 days from Abib/Nisan 1 is the feast of Pesach and 15th day of the same month for 7 days is the feast of Unleavened bread which is the full moon.

Exo 12:2  “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you. 
Exo 12:3  “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
Exo 12:4  ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb.
Exo 12:5  ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats.
Exo 12:6  ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the evenings. 

First day of Unleavened bread always falls on a full moon day. Kasah also means covering/clothe oneself (H3680).

Example: The New moon for 2018 is 17th March. Hence March 17th is Abib 1 and this New moon/renewal is closest to the vernal equinox, counting 14 days from 17th March we arrive at 30th March as the day being Pesach, The current Jewish calendar also shows Pesach to fall on 30th March 2018.



The same entrance/coming in of the sun with the renewal/chadash (new moon) closest to the vernal equinox happens on the 22nd or 23rd Sept and the first day of the renewal/chadash is the 1st day of the seventh month which is Rosh Hashanah i.e. feast of the blowing of the trumpets. Counting 15 days from the renewal/chadash one arrives to the feast of Sukkot on a full moon day.

Example: The New moon/renewal for September this year is 9th Sept 2018 which is the first day of the 7th month and Rosh Hashanah (feast of trumpets). Counting 15 days from there we come to the full moon which falls on the 23rd of September 2018. The Jewish calendar this year also shows Rosh Hashanah on 9th September and Sukkot falling on 23rd September 2018. There are various moon phase calendars online and many of them are off by one or two days in the new moon/renewal phases. Ancient Yasharal observed real time and followed the mueadim and now since the tools made by man are available man looks up the tools and decides a pre-appointed calendar.

I just used the below link as a source to look up the new moon phases.  I am not calling anyone to observe a calendar. I am purely using this as an example.

http://www.astronomyisrael.com/p/moon-phases-calendar.html

https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/israel/jerusalem

What is important to understand is the path of the sun measures time and the entrance/coming in and the path of the moon the chag/muaedim (feasts). No where does scriptures ever teach that the muaedim need to be calculated based on the path of the sun. That's why these people go outside to book of Enoch and Temple scroll etc to prove their calendar is right.

Prov 7:19  “For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey;
 20  “He took a bag of silver with him; He comes home on the day of the full moon/ kasah H3677 .”

Kasah is the same word we see in Psalms 81:3.The whore knows when the Master is returning.

The other objection many raise is what about the other feasts? Why only the renewal is considered only for Pesach and Sukkot?

In the 12 months of Abary only a few months in scripture are listed in Abary. The remaining names for their months they brought along with them from Babylonian captivity. All the months which had no names were related to Abib the first month and hence testifying of Yahuah bringing his people out from the land of Egypt by a great deliverance. The 12 months cycle was a continuous reminder that Yahuah is Aluahym who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt but now Yasharal changed that. They added to his Turah the Babylonian culture which now would make them forget their deliverance from the land of Egypt. Their new calendar would now proclaim Yahuah who delivered them from Babylon. Yermeyahu prohesied of this

Jer 16:14 ¶ Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Yahuah, that it shall no more be said, Yahuah liveth, that brought up the children of Yasharal out of the land of Egypt; 15 But, Yahuah liveth, that brought up the children of Yasharal from the land of the north (Babylon), and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

While the above passages may seem to be speaking positive of Yasharal proclaiming their deliverance from Babylon we need to read the other three verses before making that conclusion.


Jer 16:16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Yahuah, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. 18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double;because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things.
The months listed in scripture before the Babylonian captivity are Abib (1st month), Ziw (2nd month), Eythanim (7th month) & Bul (8th month). Only 4 months name in scripture is revealed prior to Babylonian captivity and that's because Abib is the beginning of months and all the rest of the months are counted from the deliverance from the Egyptian captivity.

Abyab/Abib means 'Green grain' The new green ears of growing grain as the parent seeds attached to the stalk (pole) of the next generation of crops.
Ziw- named as month of building the temple and Ziw means 'brightness of flowers'
Eythanim means 'strong/mighty/strength'
Bul means 'food/stock' as in The crops grown in the flood plains of rivers when it starts raining

The structure of the months begin with new green ears of growing grain (spring) in Abib, Ziw when the flowers bloom and the summer is at peak, Eythanim when the harvest is stocked in their barns and the people are strong and Bul when it starts raining and the winter sets in with crops grown on the river banks. Two months up during spring/Abib and summer/Ziw showing the beginning of months and the offering of the count of omers and two months down during ingathering when Yasharal takes a stock of their harvest and bring their offerings to Yahuah during the feast of Sukkot in the 7th month and sows their autumn crops when it rains just before winter sets in. This happens/ed year by year in a repeat cycle with a renewal at spring in March when the sun enters in during vernal equinox and September during the vernal equinox causing seasons in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Yasharal falls in the Northern hemisphere.

Yarach/Moon showed the hand of Yah leads one's travel to Yahusha. He is the goal of Turah. Turah was our school master to lead us to him. The renewal is in him as he springs forth as the manchild through the woman renewing her dead/barren womb to bring forth many sons of promise in him.

1Ti 2:12  But I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, rather, to be in silence.
1Ti 2:13  Because Aḏam was formed first, then Chauah.
1Ti 2:14  And Aḏam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, fell into transgression.
1Ti 2:15  But she shall be saved in childbearing if they continue in belief, and love, and set-apartness, with sensibleness.

Isa 54:1  “Sing, O barren one, you who did not bear! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not been in labour! For the children of the deserted one are more than the children of the married woman,” said יהוה.

The calendars are corrupted by men as Jew's add a month which they call Adar 1 (thirteenth month)  to cover up loss of days, they add the 13th month seven times in 19 years which they call as Jewish leap year.
The Egyptian's invented the Solar calendar : https://www.britannica.com/science/solar-calendar

Later this calendar was modified by Caesar based on the  rotation of the earth around the sun.
Firstly the sun rotates around the earth and not vice versa. The earth is a motionless plane and is flat. The Solar calendar adds one day every four years as a leap year to cover up the loss of days just like lunar calendar to keep their momentum of 12 months adds 7 times an extra month in a 19 year cycle. They do this to cope up with the sun to reach the vernal equinox in March. Most calendars referred to as "lunar" calendars are in fact lunisolar calendars. Their months are based on observations of the lunar cycle, with intercalation being used to bring them into general agreement with the solar year. The solar "civic calendar" that was used in ancient Egypt showed traces of its origin in the earlier lunar calendar, which continued to be used alongside it for religious and agricultural purposes. Present-day lunisolar calendars include the Chinese, Hindu, and Thai calendars. The ancient calculation of months with the muaedim in it was without an intercalation (adding of extra months to cope up with the Solar calendar).
It was a straight forward 12 months calendar based on the lunar phases with the Sun at the entrance/coming at vernal equinox.

A mesolithic arrangement of twelve pits and an arc found in Warren Field, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, dated to roughly 10,000 years ago, has been described as a lunar calendar and dubbed the "world's oldest known calendar" in 2013.
The lunisolar calendar tries to adjust the difference between the Solar and the lunar calendar.

Yahuah deliberately allowed this so that his sign would be accomplished which he gave the elect that the sun will turn black and the moon into blood before the great day of Yahuah.

Joe 2:31  the sun is turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה.

Rev 6:12  And I looked when He opened the sixth seal and saw a great earthquake came to be. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.

When applying to scriptures Yahuah's word has no mention of the word calendar, Solar or lunar. All this is made up by man where man on his calculations decided that based on the rotation of the earth around the sun on its axis hence a year consists of 365.2422 days, or about 365.25 days .
The truth being the earth never rotates around the sun, the sun rotates around the earth and twice comes close to the equator in March causing spring in Northern hemisphere and autumn in the Southern hemisphere and switches in September causing autumn in the Northern hemisphere and spring in the Southern hemisphere. The time calculation never changes. Its always determined by the sun. The months are neither Solar nor lunar. They are straight 12 months based on the moon phase renewal/chadash which determines the beginning of the month and the full moon/kasah falling on the feast/chag/muaedim in the first month and seventh month. (based on the vernal equinox's)
The cycle would reset at the entrance of the sun at vernal equinox year by year.
No international dateline, no Solar, no lunar, no intercalation (adding of days like leap year or leap month). This is all man made. It has all been corrupted and changed.
Solar calendar followers are in big deception and so is the Rabbinical Judaism as they follow calendars which is based on earth rotation around the sun whereas Yahuah's dabar shows the earth is flat and the earth is stationery and has foundations and it's the sun and the moon who runs on a circuit around the earth. To add to it the Greeks changed the day from evening to evening in the second temple era. Ceaser (the title itself shows that he was the one who ceased everything to put under his control) changed it further to midnight to midnight in timekeeping and a modified Egyptian Solar calendar in 46 BC which was called the Julian calendar. Later they changed it to the Gregorian calendar.

The Solar calendar adds 7 days to a 360 days lunar cycle (30 days x 12 months) in a year in the 31 days months ( March,  May, July, Aug, Oct, Dec and Jan) and takes away two from it in Feb (Feb has just 28 days)  to keep it at 365 days coping up with the Sun to reach the vernal equinox in March. And they add an extra day every four years called a leap year as to maintain the 0.242 days because the Earth does not orbit the sun in precisely 365 days. Is this the way Yahuah wants us to keep a calendar for weekly Sabbaths and feasts? Many of the scrolls found in dead sea don't confirm with the dabar of Yahuah.
Example the writer of the temple scroll claims to be a zadok priest who says the measurements of sacrifices revealed to Him in sacrifices, burnt offerings, incense etc are better than those offered in Solomons temple as people forgot Moses law.
This is a false claim as scriptures teach that when Solomon dedicated the temple the priests couldn't minister for the esteem of Yahuah filled the house.
If Solomon had forgotten Moses law and not made everything as per the Mosaic pattern given by Yahuah, Yahuah would never have come into that house with esteem and would have judged Solomon for leading his people astray. The temple scroll adds to Moses law by giving details on where to cut the animal during sacrifice, how much incense in measures need to be used to make a yearly stock etc. It's actually Talmud which adds to Yahuahs Turah.

To keep it simple there were 12 months of 30 days more or less each depending on the new moon/chadash (renewal) each month when the shophar was blown to mark the beginning of a month as stated in Psalms 81:3

Num 10:10 “And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed times, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over your peace offerings. And they shall be a remembrance for you before your Elohim. I am יהוה your Elohim.”
The new moon determines the beginning of a month and the full moon in March and September determines the spring and autumn equinox.
In March it determines the month Abib/Nisan with the feast of Pesach falling in it and in the autumn equinox the feast of tabernacles/sukkot. Shavuot is a calculation of 7 complete Shabbats from Firstfruits which is morrow after the Shabbat during Unleavened bread.
Rosh Hashanah/feast of trumpets falls on a New moon/chadash/renewal on the first day of the seventh month ...day of atonement was on the 10th day of the seventh month.
Feast of Sukkot is calculated as 15 days from the new moon in the seventh month ie. Rosh Hashanah which/Sukkot is a full moon day.
So when it says blow the shophar on the new moon /renewal, in the full moon /kasah is related to the first and the last feast showing us Yahuah is the first and the last.
When Yahusha entered Yerushalam on a foal Yahuah brought both the feasts together as it was time of Pesach and the people came with goodly branches crying Hoshianah as done during Sukkot.

Psalms 81: 5  He appointed it in Yehosĕph/Joseph for a witness, When He went out of the land of Mitsrayim; I heard a language that I did not know.

I heard a language I did not know is probably a reference to some Yasharalites who held on to the Egyptian Solar calendar which was carried on years later as Asaph who wrote the Psalm saw it's observance against the ordinance of Yahuah.

The quph with a picture of 'sun on the horizon' is a renewal as it shows both a rising and setting, it shows a beginning and a coming in again i.e. when the sun takes a complete circuit and comes to the same starting point year by year.
The moon as chadash/renews month by month marking the beginning of the month and the covering/kasah on Pesach and Sukkot the beginning and the end of the muaedim. The woman being clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet shows her purification in delivering the manchild Yahusha ha Mashiyach who cleansed her of her impurity of a year by year walking in the cycles in hope of her purification.

Isa 66:22  “For as the renewed/chadash heavens and the renewed/chadash earth that I make stand before Me,” declares יהוה, “so your seed and your name shall stand.
Isa 66:23  “And it shall be that from renewal/chadash to renewal/chadash, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares יהוה.
Isa 66:24  “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die, and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!

The renewed heavens and earth are the spiritual heavens and the earth which Yahuah Aluahym made in the day he made the earth and the heavens. Many interpret these passages as the Millennial rule on earth which is a wrong interpretation. The all flesh coming to worship before Yahuah is in a renewed covenant in Mashiyach as the previous verses talks about the people of Yahuah being scattered and their brothers bringing them back from Tarshish, Pul, Lud, Tubal and Yawan and the coastlands far off who did not hear the report or seen the esteem of Yahuah.

Isa 66:19  “And I shall set a sign among them, and shall send some of those who escape to the nations – Tarshish and Pul and Luḏ, who draw the bow, and Tuḇal and Yawan, the coastlands afar off who have not heard My report nor seen My esteem. And they shall declare My esteem among the gentiles.
Isa 66:20  “And they shall bring all your brothers as an offering to יהוה out of all the gentiles, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My set-apart mountain Yerushalayim,” declares יהוה, “as the children of Yisra’ĕl bring an offering in a clean vessel into the House of יהוה.
Isa 66:21  “And from them too I shall take for priests – for Lĕwites,” declares יהוה.

Tubal and Yawan were sons of Yapeth and Tarshish was the son of Yawan, these were sons & descendants of Noach and in Gen 9:27 Noah prophesied that Yapeth would come into the tents of Shem. Shem was the father of the Yahudi's.

Gen 9:27  “Let Elohim enlarge Yepheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shĕm. And let Kenaʽan become his servant.”

Gen 10:1  And this is the genealogy of the sons of Noaḥ: Shĕm, Ḥam, and Yepheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.
Gen 10:2  The sons of Yepheth: Gomer, and Maḡoḡ, and Maḏai, and Yawan, and Tuḇal, and Mesheḵ, and Tiras.
Gen 10:3  And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Toḡarmah.
Gen 10:4  And the sons of Yawan: Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Doḏanim.
Gen 10:5  From these the coastland peoples of the nations were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their clans, into their nations.

Pul was an Assyrian king and Lud was a son of Shem...as we know that only the promised seed is accounted for and not the carnal seed of Shem/Abraham. The sons of Yasharal were driven far away into these lands and further away from where they will be gathered again and Yahuah says he will take from them the Levites (Yashayahu 66:21).

Gen 2:4  These are the births of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that יהוה Elohim made earth and heavens.

Heb 8:8  For finding fault with them, He says, “See, the days are coming,” says יהוה, “when I shall conclude with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah a renewed/chadashah covenant, 
Heb 8:9  not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Mitsrayim, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them,” says יהוה.

The renewal is from a physical to a spiritual (heavens and the earth in the earth and the heavens), from a physical Shabbath to a spiritual Sabbath in Mashiyach as all come to Aluahym through the veil of his flesh entering the Most Set-Apart place.

Heb 10:19  So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of יהושע,
Heb 10:20  by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

Yahusha quoted verse 24 of YahshaYahu in Mark 9 three times in context of hand/yad, foot/ragal and eye/ayin
Hand speaks of work, feet of walk and eye to see ...all in context of cutting of what is dead which cannot discern the works & signs of Yahuah

Isa 66:24  “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me1. For their worm shall not die, and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!

Mar 9:43  “And if your hand makes you stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two hands, to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,
Mar 9:44  where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 
Mar 9:45  “And if your foot makes you stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two feet, to be thrown into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,
Mar 9:46  where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 
Mar 9:47  “And if your eye makes you stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter into the reign of Elohim with one eye, than having two eyes, to be thrown into the fire of Gehenna,
Mar 9:48  where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 
Mar 9:49  “For everyone shall be seasoned with fire, and every offering shall be seasoned with salt.

Yahusha also said ''For everyone shall be seasoned with fire, and every offering shall be seasoned with salt''

Every grain Old Testament offering was salted with salt.

Lev 2:13  ‘And season with salt every offering of your grain offering, and do not allow the salt of the covenant of your Elohim to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you bring salt.

Numbers 18:19  “All the contributions of the set-apart gifts, which the children of Yasharal present to יהוה, I have given to you and your sons and daughters with you as a law forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before יהוה with you and your seed with you.”

The heave offerings were the grain/manchah offering as a sweet incense, and all ascending offerings  pointing to the elect who typified all these heave (wave offerings) offered during feast of firstfruits, pentecost and grain offering along with the sacrifices.. All a sweet smelling fragrance. Every sacrifice will be salted with fire, and the fire is a purifier and will reveal the works of men in obedience to Yahuah's commands in returning to him from their exile. We are called to preach the basarah /good news to everyone and he who is from the ones scattered of Yasharal and chosen by Yahuah will return to him.

The renewal is the fulfillment of the sun on the horizon as the Sun of Righteousness who is Yahusha ha Mashiyach lifts up his bride on his eagles wings taking her to the wilderness to make her whole until muaed, muaedim and division.

Mal 4:2  “But to you who fear My Name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall.

My prayer is everyone reading this study see the fulfillment of meeting the one at the appointed time i.e. Yahusha in a renewed/chadash covenant in a transition from the physical to the spiritual.

Rev 21:1 And I saw a renewed/chadashah heaven and a renewed/chadashah earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, renewed/chadashah Yerushalam, coming down out of heaven from the Elohim, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

In the renewed Yerushalam there are no timekeepers ...no sun, no moon, no stars for Yahuah's esteem illuminates it and the Lamb is the Lamp.

Rev 21:23 And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of Elohim has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness, which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by being dipped /tabalyath and/uau praising/halyadah in the renewing/ha chadashah and renewal/chadosh by the Ruach ha Qodesh
