Chapter 4
Sunday worship of “Ba’al”
|
The Mystery Religion of Babylon was the origin
of Astrology, the worship of the planets in our solar system. Each planet was
worshipped as a “god” and given a specific day of the week: Each of the days
of the week, beginning on Sunday (the first day), is called a "Day of
John". Each of the days of the week is called a "tentyon", a
simple transcription of the Greek ton theon which means “the God”. So
each day of the week is named after The God represented by the stellar object.
The hours and days are based not on Yahuah’s Calendar found in the Bible, but
pagan astrology and worship of the planets:

The pagan religions most “holy” worship day was the worship
of the Sun on … Sunday. The reason why the Vatican has gone to a lot of trouble
to convince everyone that our Messiah resurrected on “Sun-day” morning is
because they want to assimilate him to the pagan god of the “Sun.” Satan needed
to find a way to convince the true followers of Messiah to worship him (Satan)
unaware, and so he has set aside a special day that represents “Nimrod” the god
of the sun from the Tower of Babel. Nimrod was the first historical false
Messiah who ruled his false One World Government and Religion about 2,275 years
before the birth of the true Messiah Yahusha. He was the first historical
Anti-Messiah whose name in Chaldean adds up to 666.
In order to “justify” the worship of Baal (the sungod) on
Sunday, the Biblical reckoning of time where days started and ended at sunset,
was
changed to midnight. The Bible declares that the early church met
“early on the first day of the week”. This was actually referring to just ‘after
sunset’ on Saturday night not Sunday morning. That would have
been “late on the first day” in Jerusalem at the time it was recorded in The
Bible. The early church was at home keeping The Sabbath with
their families. Once the sun set on the Sabbath (7th day) (what we
call Saturday night) they then met at a central place together that evening
after the sun set which was “early the first day of the week”. The first day
(Sunday) was a work day for them and “early the first day” or late Saturday
night after the Sabbath ended was the ONLY time they had to gather together.
They had to go to work the next morning. Being a work day, no Jew was meeting
together on what we call Sunday morning. It wasn’t until Constantine changed
The Sabbath to Sunday and gave everyone in his realm the day off that anyone
could or would actually assemble on the first day.
Next, the pagan doctrine of Ishtar took hold and Good
Friday/Easter Sunday was ordered by ‘threat of death’ to be observed instead of
Passover and The Feast of First Fruits. I will cover this in detail in this
book series.
Sunday worship is nowhere to be found in The Bible. This
day is derived from "Sol," the Roman god of the sun. Their phrase for
Sunday "Dies Solis" means "day of the sun." The Christian saint Jerome (d. 420) commented, attempting to justify Sunday worship, "If it is
called the day of the sun by the pagans, we willingly accept this name, for on
this day the Light of the world arose, on this day the Sun of Justice shone
forth." None of that is commanded by Yahuah. Jerome just made it up and
“justified” breaking what IS commanded, the 7th Day Sabbath, to keep
himself from being killed in the inquisition. Again, all of this is covered in
great detail in this book series. I mention it here with the intention to establish
that “Sunday” was the Babylonian day of worship to the sungod ‘The LORD’
(which means Ba’al) who is The Sungod.
The LORD is not the name of the Creator. The LORD is the
name/title for the Babylonian sungod Ba’al and is a pagan reference to just
about all pagan “gods”… The LORD is a false god:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baal
Baal, also rendered
Baʿal (Biblical Hebrew בַּעַל),
is a Northwest Semitic title and honorific meaning "master" or
"lord" that is used for various gods who were patrons of cities in
the Levant and Asia Minor, cognate to
Akkadian
Bēlu. A
Baalist or
Baalite means a worshipper of
Baal i.e. The Lord.
"Baʿal"
or “The Lord” can refer to any god and even to human officials. In some texts
it is used for
Hadad, a god of
the rain, thunder, fertility and agriculture, and the
lord
of heaven. Since only priests were
allowed to utter His Divine name, Hadad, Ba‛al was commonly used.
Nevertheless, few if any
Biblical uses
of "Baʿal" refer to Hadad, the lord over the assembly of gods on
the holy mount of heaven; most refer to a variety of local spirit-deities
worshipped as
cult images,
each called baʿal and regarded in the
Hebrew
Bible in that context as a "false
god".
Etymology
Baʿal (bet-ayin-lamedh) is a
Semitic word signifying
"The Lord, master, owner (male), keeper, husband",
Yahuah told Elijah and Jeremiah that the Israelites would
adopt “the way of the pagans” in Babylon who worshipped Ba’al and forget His
name Yahuah; and that they would use the title
the LORD which is
a reference to Ba’al.
1 Kings 18
18
“I have not made
trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “But you and your father’s family have. You
have abandoned Yahuah’s Commands and have followed Baal (The LORD).
Jeremiah 23
25
“I have heard what
the prophets say who prophesy lies in My Name. They say, ‘I had a dream! I had
a dream!’ 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these
lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? 27 They
think the dreams they tell one another will make My people forget My Name, just
as their ancestors forgot My Name through Baal (The LORD) worship
The LORD “Ba’al” was worshipped on Sunday the “day of the
invincible sun” or Dias Solis and the sacrifice to the LORD “Ba’al” was the pig
of Ishtar (Easter). The prophecies in 1 Kings (that we would abandon Yahuah and
follow Ba’al) have come true in Christianity, who calls on The LORD on Sunday putting
their Faith in Easter (the sacrifice of a pig to Ba’al). Just as Jeremiah
foretold, we would forget The Name Yahuah and use the LORD, as they did in
Babylon.
We see below that The Name Yahuah was regularly pronounced
by His chosen until superstitious Jews, who adopted the pagan practices of
their captors, changed the name Yahuah to The LORD coming out of Babylonian
captivity:
The Encyclopedia Judaica,
Volume 7, pages 680-682
Yahuah or
Yahweh. The
personal name of the God of Israel is written in the Hebrew Bible with the four
consonants Yahuah and is referred to as the "Tetragrammaton". At
least until the destructions of the First Temple in 586 b.c.e., this name
was regularly pronounced with its proper vowels (Yahuah), as is clear from
the *Lachish Letters, written shortly before that date. But at least by the
third century b.c.e., the pronunciation of the name Yahuah was avoided, and
Adonai, "the Lord", was substituted for it, as evidenced by the use
of the Greek word Kyrios, "Lord", for Yahuah in the Septuagint, the
translation of the Hebrew Scriptures that was begun by Greek-speaking Jews in
that century. Where the combined form Adonai Yahuah occurs in the Bible, this
was read as Adonai Elohim, "Lord God".
We also see below, from the same source, that the Jews
replaced the proper vowel points in Yahuah with the vowel points in Adonai
giving us the name Yehowah in ERROR. Then uninspired Christian translators
then came up with the totally foreign name Jehovah. In a total disconnect from
all reality, the Jews started just saying ha-Shem (the name) and totally
abandoned the proper Name of the Creator all together.
In the early Middle Ages,
when the consonantal text of the Bible was supplied with vowels points to facilitate
its correct traditional reading, the vowel points for 'Adonai with one
variation - a sheva with the first yod of Yahuah instead of the hataf-patah
under the aleph of 'Adonai were used for Yahuah, thus producing the form
Yehowah. When Christian scholars of Europe first began to study Hebrew,
they did not understand what this really meant, and they introduced the hybrid
name "Jehovah". In order to avoid pronouncing even the sacred name
Adonai for Yahuah, the custom was later introduced of saying simply in Hebrew ha-Shem
(or Aramaic Shemc, "the Name") even in such an expression as
"Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Yahuah" (Ps. 118:26).
This is an abomination! It is literally “taking His name in
vain”. Vain means to bring to nothing by using titles! Yahuah gave us His Name and He Declares that it is His Memorial
for all generations:
Exodus 3:15
And Yahuah said moreover unto
Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Yahuah the God of your
fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent
me unto you: this is My Name forever, and this is My Memorial unto all
generations.
His Name is not “The LORD” or “Adonai” or “Jehovah” or
anything else. His name is YHVH (Yahuah in English) and that is His Everlasting
memorial by which He is to be called upon. Our English Bibles use the title ‘The LORD’ for Yahuah which
is a violation of the Command not to add to nor subtract from His Word. Not to
mention, it is idolatry calling upon the Babylonian god Ba’al. We, humanity,
have totally forgotten the name of our Creator which was originally written in
His Word over 8,000 times! We replaced every reference to it with The LORD
(Ba’al). Below we see the Jews committed this abomination out of what I call
“reverent stupidity” as they followed the way of the pagans in Babylon:
Unger's Bible Dictionary,
on page 665:
Lord (Hebrew, Adon), an early
word denoting ownership; hence, absolute control. It is not properly a Divine
title. The Jews, out of a superstitious reverence for the Name Yahuah,
always, in reading, pronounce Adonai (lord) where YHVH is written.
Smith's Bible Dictionary,
1872 Edition, states the following:
The substitution of the word
Lord is most (sad); for, while it in no way represents the meaning of the
Sacred Name, the mind has constantly to guard against a confusion with its
lower uses, and, above all, the direct personal hearing of the Name on the
revelation of Yahuah...is injuriously out of sight.
This is extremely important as the name of the Messiah
contains the Tetragrammaton to fulfill the prophetic requirements of the One
name under heaven whereby we may obtain Salvation:
Acts 4:12
Salvation is found in no one else,
for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by
which we must be saved.”
When I quote Scripture in this book, no matter what
translation I use, I will always replace the pagan reference and title of The
LORD with Yahuah and Lord with King as it applies to Yahusha. I
will always clarify in context the use of impersonal pronouns such as
‘he’ and ‘him’ by identifying the subject by name. I will turn the text
from passive voice to active voice. I will demonstrate when the uninspired
translations are corrected in this way; the truth comes shining through as to
the real meaning of the text. In doing so, many of the Scriptures used to
justify the false doctrines of the incarnation and The Trinity completely fall
apart in light of the Truth.
