Paul told us in 2 Thessalonians 2 that there would be a \u2018falling away\u2019<\/em> from truth, before the \u2018man of sin<\/em>,\u2019 the \u2018son of perdition\u2019<\/em> arrived.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most Christians apply the \u2018falling away<\/em>\u2018 to the end times, and they believe that it won\u2019t happen to them.<\/p>\n

What if I told you that the \u2018falling away<\/em>\u2018 occurred in the 4th century,
\nand the result of it probably shapes your beliefs today?<\/p>\n

Before the man of sin<\/em>, the son of perdition<\/em>, the office of the Popes of Rome, came to power in 538 A.D., the Bishops were already at work<\/em> in the Roman Empire.<\/p>\n

Today the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and the Protestant Churches, express their faith in what is called The Nicene Creed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At the first council at Nicaea in 325 AD Roman Emperor Constantine began to create the religion of ‘Christianity’<\/em>, based on their Roman pagan worship rituals.<\/p>\n

Here is a brief explanation of the changes that Emperor Constantine and the Bishops of Rome made, which oppose the Holy Scriptures.<\/p>\n

They serve to steal glory and honor away from the Father, and they cause the followers of the Messiah to be out of covenant<\/em> with Him.<\/p>\n

You will see how today\u2019s Christian churches are still following these changes today, and so they are steeped in the Babylonian religion without knowing it.<\/p>\n

They banned people from observing the seven Holy Feast Days, which our Messiah is fulfilling to redeem us, which His followers should still observe. The Feast of Trumpets has not been fulfilled yet and it represents His return, so it’s important to know.<\/p>\n

And they created the pagan-based holidays of Easter and Christmas, to replace them.<\/p>\n

They banned the followers of Christ from observing the 7th day Sabbath rest, which marks<\/em> us as followers of the Messiah.<\/p>\n

And they created The Lord’s Day<\/em> of worship on SUNday, which honors the god “ba’al”.<\/p>\n

They changed the personal Hebrew name of the Father from YHUH,<\/p>\n

to the generic ‘god’, as there are many impersonal, false gods.<\/p>\n

Friend, you can discount that list and say that God knows your heart; but the Scriptures warn us:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must not worship YHUH your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things YHUHhates<\/em>.\u201d Deuteronomy 12:31<\/p>\n

Keep in mind our Messiah\u2019s words in Matthew 7:21-23<\/p>\n

\u201cNot everyone who says to Me, \u2018Lord, Lord,\u2019 shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, \u2018Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?\u2019 And then I will declare to them, \u2018I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness<\/span>!<\/em>\u2018<\/p>\n

The moral law of the Torah, the commandments to observe the Holy Feast Days and 7th Day Sabbath, were not nailed to the cross and eliminated, as so many people teach.<\/p>\n

The ceremonial law was fulfilled by our Messiah, who is fulfilling the Holy Feast Days in exacting detail, so we don’t have to observe the ceremonial part of the law, meaning we don’t have to sacrifice a lamb on Passover anymore.<\/p>\n

The written record of your transgressions, which testifies against you and condemns you, was nailed to the cross of Calvary.<\/p>\n

We are saved by grace, but we demonstrate our love of the Father, by obeying the commandments of His Law, His Torah.<\/p>\n

Does the Messiah really know us:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If we don’t celebrate the Holy Feast Days, which He is fulfilling<\/em> for your redemption?<\/p>\n

If we don’t rest in Him on His perpetual Holy 7th day Sabbath, which marks<\/em> our covenant with Him?<\/p>\n

Am I saying that one has to know and observe those things to be saved?<\/p>\n

No, but why would a follower of Messiah not want to know the Hebrew name that His parents and disciples called Him?<\/p>\n

Why would a follower of Messiah not want to know about the Father’s seven divine appointments, which Messiah is fulfilling to redeem us?<\/p>\n

Why would a follower of Messiah not want to know about the fall Feast Day which represents the harvest and Messiah’s return for His bride?<\/p>\n
