It’s Easter, for crying out loud, !

The procession down from the Mount of Olives, his supporters cheering with enthusiasm, brought disapproval from the ‘establishment’ as the latest charismatic ‘Messiah’-Leader made his way with his entourage towards the capital…

Is it so very different today? When told to ‘shut his followers up’, Messiah replied,

“I am telling you, if these were to keep quiet now, the stones would cry out!”

There are many thousands across Britain right now who are looking this way and that, for that one charismatic character who will confront the hypocrisy of the day and stand for what is Truth. People will continue to give their lives for what they believe is Truth; on the other hand there are others who are scattered, like sheeple without a shepherd, because they are afraid of consequences.

It is time for the stones to start shouting. Sticking to the unjust government imposed upon us is no longer an option, our situation calls for a decision – do we STAND or do we RUN? If we have found a Truth, we need to stand firm.

I make no apology for appending a reappraisal of what has been reduced to a comfortable ‘christian’ narrative:

‘Here it is once more – Easter! It is the time when we note, especially, the dreadful death of the Messiah and the miracle of His resurrection three days later.

As we celebrate these events, here are a few thoughts to keep in mind. Remember that this term ‘Easter’ is a Roman/Anglican equivalent of the original Hebrew – ‘Chaq Hamatzot’ – the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Some hundreds of years after the miracle itself, the Roman ‘church’ saw fit to vary their ecumenical calendar, to make it fit more closely with the actual time which the earth takes to complete its orbit around the sun. For now, therefore, let’s relate this ‘holy day’ to their present ‘Gregorian’ calendar.

Nisan 14 –Wednesday 17th April 2019 = The Passover (Pesach)

On the original night, [Exodus 12:21-30] when the Hebrew slaves revolted against their Egyptian taskmasters, they got all packed up, ready to make a ‘moonlight flit’, and suddenly, there appeared an ‘angel of death’, who paid an unscheduled visit, taking out the eldest male child in each Egyptian household, whilst, at the same time, ‘passing over’ the Hebrew families. This amazing event is commemorated annually by all self-respecting Jewish households as ‘Pesach’ – Passover, a one-day Feast.

For Chrystians [sic] this is the night when their Messiah sat down with his Inner Cabinet for a final supper meal, shortly after which he would be betrayed by his chancellor, captured by the ‘church’ heirarchy, arraigned before the Sanhedrin’s ‘kangaroo court’ and, the following day, be butchered by Rome’s equivalent of the ‘Waffen SS’. But let’s stick with the order of events as they unfolded.

Nisan 15 -Thursday 18th April 2019 = ‘Chaq Hamatzot’

The Feast of Unleavened Bread – a seven-day feast begins. right after Passover. This is a ‘feast’ – of unleavened bread, so, if we wish to stick with the original Rule Book, we should all get an eight-day vacation at this time of year, not a three-day one. However, as we have abandoned the original script in favour of this Roman/Anglican copy, there seems little chance of the British government going out on a limb on this one. In terms of the Hebrew calendar, this day was also a Yearly Sabbath [cf.Lev 23:6], which is mentioned in John 19:31.

By daylight on this day the Sanhedrin Court sitting had already ended and was followed by the Roman governor deciding that one dead Jew more or less was a small price to pay, compared with the risk of a civil uprising, so, send him off to Golgotha (Skull Hill). Incidentally, the poor chap actually carried just the horizontal beam (patibulum), not the complete cross, as some would have us believe. ‘Patibuli’ were pre-prepared in bulk, each with a mortise socket to fit onto the upright stakes, which were generally left on the hillside. Thus, the Messiah was dead by sundown and buried by nightfall.

Nisan 15 – Thursday 18th April 2019 nightfall to Friday nightfall,

the first day in the tomb

Nisan 16 –Friday 19th nightfall to Saturday 20th April 2019 nightfall

the second day in the tomb

Nisan 17 -Saturday 20st April nightfall to Sunday 21st April 2019

the third day in the tomb, and the normal ‘weekly’ sabbath.

Nisan 18Sunday 21st April 2019

Very early on the morning of the fourth day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, John Mark, the 12-year old son of the disciple ‘Peter’, seems to have climbed out of his bedroom window and made his way, in the half-light, to the burial garden (how did he know where to go? Good grapevine, then) where he was to be confronted by an empty tomb. – John Mark’s ‘Flash Gordon’ hero was up and about again. [cf: Mark 16:5-7 – ‘a young man’ sitting]

So convincing was John Mark’s testimony that, some ten years later, a redeemed Saul of Tarsus insisted on taking the young man on a European Tour, to prove to the Diaspora (dispersed Jews) that the Messiah is alive for evermore. [cf Acts 12:25]in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established’

Please accept my apologies if this modern-day version of events clashes with your received ‘church’ teaching, but it was Messiah, not I, who said that he was going to be dead for three days and three nights before vacating the tomb. [ Matt 12:40] Why, then, do we insist on having the poor chap crucified on a Friday and resurrected on a Sunday? Surely, someone who heals lepers, turns water into wine and walks on water wouldn’t have made a careless slip-up over an important schedule like that?

Friends, I do not intend to be offensive, but then again, neither do I wish to be inoffensive. I will confess with you the joyful Truth of a resurrected Messiah, now seated on the Throne of the Universe, and, let’s remember, his earth-name was never ‘Jesus’!

If we believe, with our adult minds, that this is Truth, we surely have an obligation to walk in it. If we do NOT accept these facts as reliable according to the scripture and the Hebrew calendar, then we are probably merely meeting in a local ‘social club’, and not as Living Stones in the ‘Body of Christ’.

With love and sincere wishes, as ever’, your brother and companion in the Way.

The Lisbon Pitfalls

With due deference to its originators, we gratefully acknowledge the contribution made by ‘Wikipedia’ in presenting the following statement regarding the Reform Treaty (better known as the Treaty of Lisbon.

“The Treaty of Lisbon (initially known as the Reform Treaty) is an international agreement that amends the two treaties which form the ‘constitutional’ basis of the European Union(EU). The Treaty of Lisbon was signed by the EU member states on 13 December 2007, and entered into force on 1 December 2009.[2] It amends the Maastricht Treaty (1992), known in updated form as the Treaty on European Union (2007) or TEU, and the Treaty of Rome (1957), known in updated form as the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (2007) or TFEU.[3] It also amends the attached treaty protocols as well as the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM).

Prominent changes included the move from unanimity to qualified majority voting [QMV] in at least 45 policy areas in the Council of Ministers, a change in calculating such a majority to a new double majority, a more powerful European Parliament forming a bicameral legislature alongside the Council of Ministers under the ordinary legislative procedure, a consolidated legal personality for the EU and the creation of a long-term President of the European Council and a ‘High’? Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. The Treaty also makes the Union’s bill of rights, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, legally binding. The Treaty for the first time gave member states the explicit legal right to leave the EU, and established a procedure by which to do so.

The stated aim of the treaty was to “complete the process started by the Treaty of Amsterdam [1997] and by the Treaty of Nice [2001] with a view to enhancing the efficiency and ‘democratic’ legitimacy of the Union and to improving the coherence of its action””.

12.04.19 – The Lisbon Treaty Pitfalls 

We may have been unwary enough to allow ourselves to be enticed into the EU’s ‘federation’, but its ‘High Authority’ is proving to be illusory, and the time is now short, before, in utter desperation, it seeks to reduce our nation to a vassal status, as it assumes control of our territory, finances and populace.

October 1994 – Norman Lamont concluded:

“As a former Chancellor, I can only say I cannot pinpoint a single concrete economic advantage that unambiguously comes to our country because of our membership of the European Union.”

Please, promise me that those who think that ‘remaining’ tied up in the web of this ‘constitution’ have not opted to do so after reading the small print. Please, download the confounded thing (all 583 pages of it) and READ it.

The times, they are a-changing!

There is a war going on – and not, this time, with ballistics.

After the past two years, there can surely be no-one in the nation who is unaware of the dilemma which the present Prime Minister has created for herself, and her hapless ‘Party’, in trying to find a solution which can marry the result of their own much heralded ‘Referendum’ vote with maintaining support from their big business sponsors.

It is clear that ‘democracy’ has become a walking shadow in Westminster, except when it suits any given political agenda moment. The ‘party system has long shown itself ‘not fit for purpose’ – it must be changed, if real local democracy is to survive.

Overnight, Sloths became Leopards, and the PM gets her jogging suit on once more and goes for another jaunt around Europe at the tax-payers’ expense.

How long will it be, before Yvette Cooper morphs back into Ed Balls?

Soon, folks, the EU Constitution (aka The Lisbomb Treaty 2009) will take over your lives and you will never again have the ‘once-every-five-year’ privilege of being a sovereign people. Now, where did I leave that pitchfork?

I.F.P.

Keep a close eye on this development, started in 2018, but given a public airing yesterday in God’s country.

The Irish Freedom Party is led by Hermann Kelly MEP, who, in stark contrast to that other Irish MEP, who was uttering standard EU-speak ‘dribble’ on QT last night, has finally seen that the precious identity of the small nation should NEVER have been surrendered to the EU machine, and is, belatedly, worth fighting for.

For myself, I wish the IFP ‘g-d speed’ and look forward to the day when there is no need for any sort of ‘border’ with King Billy’s six counties. The way the devious quisling is performing in London, that day will probably dawn first.
