Dear Brothers and Sisters in IAUA (ee-ah-oo-ah) our Father,

Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of IAUA. This is the 27th day of the 6th month of the Biblical Calendar in the estimated year 6019 Anno Mundi.

The Fall Sabbaths begin Tuesday with Trumpets Sabbath on the 1st day of the 7th month (Tuesday, September 15th of the 2015, Gregorian Calendar, at sunset Monday, September 14th).

On God's Calendar the Biblical month begins on the global day after lunar conjunction and the Biblical year begins with God's New Year's Day (Passover) after the spring equinox (Spring Passover Rule). The Millerite Calendar (Spring New Moon Rule) is the same this year. The Calculated Rabbinical Calendar is one day early.

Greetings Frank,

I am working to understand the true Calendar of our creator. Like you, I have an overwhelming desire to be "In Sync" with YHWH. Without this Synchronization with our Creators calendar how can we be truly obedient? This is likely one of the primary focuses of the adversary intended to separate us from our desires to keep YHWH's appointed times.

Sincerely

Larry xxxx

Larry,

You are correct. The Biblical Calendar represents the highest worship we give to our Creator on the weekly and yearly Sabbaths. The Bible indicates that this is the primary reason for Satan's iniquity.

Isaiah 14:11-14
11 Your pride is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your harps. The maggot is spread under you, and the worms cover you.
12 How you are fallen from the heavens, O shining star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart, I will go up to the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.
14 I will go up above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.

The JPS is clearer:

Isaiah 14:13 And thou saidst in thy heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, above the stars of God will I exalt my throne, and I will sit upon the mount of meeting, in the uttermost parts of the north;

The actual word "meeting" is "holy days".

I struggled with the question. How can we worship together, if we don't agree on the day?

There is a lot of controversy about almost every aspect of the Biblical Calendar. I have encountered many of these controversies. I have studied deeply to resolve them to my satisfaction. There are many different viewpoints and traditions. I am in a unique position of having no traditional background other than observing the weekly Sabbath to lead me to favor one viewpoint over the other. I go strictly by the Bible. When the Bible is not scientifically specific, I examine the evidence from Bible observing traditions and compare it with the Bible.

God will bless you in your search.

Be at peace,

Frank,

Thank you for the thoughtful reply....any man who desires to bless YHWH through obedience is my brother!

The fragmentation of understanding regarding YHWH's set apart days is overwhelming!

I have been prayerfully studying on my own for a short time, but have been keenly aware of the fragmentation for some time.

One of the first leadings of the Holy Spirit was that the scribes (Jer 8:8) who have provided our interpretations are part of the synagogue of Satan Rev 2:9; 3:9

Second, to understand the strategy of the adversary has been a key to understanding too. As long as YHWH's people are in sync/obedient to YHWH's will there is no force that can displace them, and as long as any sizable remnant maintained obedience to YHWH the adversary could not seize control. But, as we know through prophecy, they/the adversary do seize control, so as we watch our brethren fall prey to deception, we are forewarned.

Below are some of the points I am focusing on;

Sabbath observance times. Yahshua said there are only 12 hours in a day! Rome established the 24 hour day! All pagan rituals begin at sunset! YHWH begins with light!

The monthly commencement: The definition of the "New Moon" may have been inverted! There is considerable scriptural support for the "New Moon" being the Full Moon! Again YHWH begins with light, so it stands to reason that the pagan deception of commencement at conjunction/darkness is sinister!

Third, there are considerable stakes for getting the feasts correct. For example: Isa 26:20 KJV (20) Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

Please pray and meditate on this verse if you haven't already. Think of the booth we make at the feast of Tabernacles/ They smack of camouflaged dwellings. Personally I think anyone in a home wired for electricity at this time will be damaged or destroyed by the "indigantion" perhaps a massive nuclear EMP. Speculative, yet persistently brought forward in my prayerful study.

There are a few more important points, but I do not wish to overwhelm you with my words.

Sincerely

Bless YHWH!

Larry

Larry,

I am saddened to read your latest email.

I can agree that many "Jewish" writings from the Talmud and Mishnah, for example, are questionable interpretations of God's truth that add questionable and cumbersome traditions to God's Word. Moses was guided by God to give these words of guidance.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

I cannot agree with the idea that a day is only 12 hours. This is not what our Savior said.

John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

It is quite clear He was talking about the daylight portion not the length of both parts of the day. As recorded in Genesis:

Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

It is a deception of Satan to completely reverse the true understanding of millions who have followed God's Law concerning the New Moon. I am certain God has preserved His Truth and our Savior has left us a correct example to follow when He was here on Earth. It is foolish to claim that such a reversal has happened during recorded history.

If this represents the results of your studies, then do not waste my time and yours sharing anything more.

Be at peace,

Thank you for your reply.

I read everything you wrote with an open heart and mind, but it grieved me to find a root of bitterness within your heart within the harshness of your words; ".....do not waste my time and yours sharing anything more."

As you requested, I will not trouble you any more, but I was heartily hoping for open and honest studying together.

Sincerely

Larry

Larry,

There is no bitterness whatsoever. I have simply found that the many I have corresponded with who hold views similar to yours are simply too far out of touch with my understanding of the Bible for any common ground. I have never found a spirit of open and honest study of what the Bible actually says but rather a presentation of extreme ideas. I could be wrong about you, but this is what the Spirit has shown me about the words you used. I spoke simply, honestly, and with no malice. Thank you for being honest about your views. Others have hidden their extreme ideas for a lot longer before they revealed themselves.

He continued to criticize me in later emails but I will spare you the details. It is disturbing to see so much confusion about truth. When anyone presents ideas that are completely outrageous, I will eventually just ignore them. The Biblical Calendar is one of the primary issues of contention.

I will be presenting a series of six studies on the Biblical Calendar beginning Friday October 2, 2015 15:00-16:30 through Sunday October 4, 2015 11:00-12:00 in Matteson, Illinois at a small Tabernacles home camp meeting.

Do your studies of the Bible lead you to truth or do the words of others lead you astray with deceptions?

I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
