Hello. My name is Pauline Brown and I am currently a student at the University of South Alabama. I'm a secondary education major, emphasis in the biological sciences. I will be assigned to your blog for the next couple weeks for Dr. Strange's EDM 310 class. Feel free to visit my blog: http://brownpaulineedm310.blogspot.com/

I do believe in multiple intelligences. As the school system is right now, do you think the classes are set up in a bias fashioned, catering more to the students with a specific type of intelligence or are they working more towards incorporating ways to reach out to the students who have high IQs in the not so well known intelligences? Also, how long have you been teaching?

Wow. I love the way you structured your classroom time. If we give students an opportunity to talk in an allotted time it would help a lot of restlessness. And furthermore, we control what they are talking about. I want to teach high school biology, and in MS the classes are almost 1.5 hours long. But i like your layout and I'm sure I can tweak it for the extended time period. Thank you again for your insight about their attention span and how you structure your class. I'm sure it helped a lot of teachers.

******************************************************************

Mrs. Carrillo has a lot of insights as a teacher. I can tell that she studies a lot of trends on her own time, which make her a much more resourceful teacher. She also has great tips on classroom time management. There are other blogs she wrote that I definitely want to check out and I encourage you to do the same. From what I read so far, she speaks in very direct, simple terms. I know a lot of teachers have their Masters and PhDs and are very intelligent people, but it's nice to read blogs that have the tone of everyday conversation.

Wordle - sh'ma yisrael

Wordle - sh'ma yisrael: "Wordle: sh'ma yisrael"

Blog Post 1

Hello, my name is Pauline.
I currently live on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and I commute to USA four days a week. I used to attend USM on the Gulf Coast, but I didn't like that school too much, so I transfered here this past spring.

I still live at home with my parents. Between moving to California and back, Texas and back, and all the cities between; I am quite tired of moving and am really hoping and praying I don't have to move again until I get married, whenever G-d brings me my godly husband.

My parents are both retired and have adopted five foster children over the last couple years. The one little girl is 12 and the four little boys are 7 and under. Needless to say there is never a dull moment at our house.

I have been working with teenagers for almost three years. I love teenagers and I know that G-d has blessed me to be a part of their lives. I love young people and it breaks my heart that a lot of society just casts them off as future delinquents or bad kids when they don't even take the time to get to know them or their hearts. Seeing young people on fire for G-d blesses me beyond measure. It's truly an honor and a privilege to witness their passion.

I want to teach high school sciences because I just want a chance to be there for one of those teenagers. After all, we can still shine as a light in the darkness without necessarily opening our mouths. Young people, they can tell who sincerely loves them and is rooting for them.

Outside of my love for my awesome G-d and His precious young people, I love to study His Torah and all about the ancients. I love living our Messianic life style. It's fun being Jewish, it's even more fun being Jewish and knowing who the Messiah is ^_^

In my free time, I like to read books and watch anime.

P.s. This is my second time taking EDM 310. Take it from me, do NOT get behind in the work and don't be afraid to ask questions. There are still a lot of things I didn't check into last semester because when I tried I just cried. But this time around I will do my utmost to get acquainted with the tools that are presented in this class...there are a lot of them!

come out of her My people....

The Fall Feasts of YHWH detail the timing of the end time events as follows:

1.)The Abomination of Desolation will be seen in the 3rd Temple (Matthew 24:15) and then the 42 months of the Antichrist's false ministry will begin, while concurently the Two Witnesses prophesy against him globally for 3.5 years.

2.) Then there will be 30 more days of the month of Elul (1,290 days) see Daniel 12:11. At the end of the 1,290 days will begin the 7th month of Tishri (Feast of Trumpets), and this is “the last trump” (1st Cor 15:51-53). And this is when the 7th angel sounds as soon as the two witnesses are taken up. This all happens concurently with the other books of Revelation leading up to Revelation 20, as the book of Revelation cannot be read sequentially.

3.) There will be a 7 day literal marriage (Wedding of Jacob, Leah & Rachel--one week) and this is when we are changed into incorruption. Those 5 foolish virgins who are not ready are caught off guard by the “theif in the night” and they shall not escape (1st Thessalonians 5:2-3).

*Note: What I see, is that there is the resurrection of Leah (10 Northern Tribes of Israel assimilated as Gentiles) and there is a 7 day wedding. Then on Yom Kippur, Yeshua comes back and gets Rachel also. Remember in the prophetic pattern, Laban (symbolic of the Father), said to Jacob, “finish the week with Leah, and I will give you Rachel also.” Jacob was married to Rachel (2 southern tribes, Benjamin & Judah, Jews) at the end of the “week” after 7 days with Leah. And so on Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, is when the house of Judah (Jews) discover if their names are written in the book of life, they also call this “face to face.” This will be the same day that Rachel (Jews) see him face to face and they will look upon him whom they pierced and they will mourn for him as one mourns for his only son (Zechariah 12:10).

Rachel will also be married to Yeshua (the remnant of Jews who did not take the mark of the Beast). And they also will be changed into incorruption at this point. The Two Witnesses are a special group of people who thought that they were Gentiles (Ephraim) and they discover their Hebraic Roots, so they join the Jews (Judah), and this is when the Two sticks (Ephraim & Judah) become one stick in the Lord’s hand (Ezekiel 37:16-17) and this is the same “one new man” the Apostle Paul spoke about in Ephesians 2:12-15.

This is that two witness group. They also are taken at the 7th trumpet (as the 7th angel sounds) in Revelation 11:15. This group goes with redeemed Leah (Gentiles who become one new man with Jews). Then 7 days later, the remnant of Rachel who did not take the mark, are also redeemed on Yom Kippur and changed. Then the two groups (Leah & Rachel) Gentile & Jew go into the marriage together to celebrate the drinking of the wine of the covenant on Feast of Tabernacles.

4.) There are 10 days between the Feast of Trumpets & the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and so there are 3 of those days where the bride is given a 3 day notice that the groom is on the way. She hears the shouts from a 3 days journey in the distance and she knows that some time in those 3 days, he will be there to catch her away.

5.) While this is happening in the heavenlies, the children of wrath are having bowls of wrath being poured out on them and they still won’t repent (Revelation 14-20). This all happens during the 10 days of awe.

6.) After the 10 days of awe (3 day shouts and 7 day marriage), the bride comes back on white horses with the groom (Revelation 19). This day is known as “face to face” when the bride removes the veil and she sees him face to face. Yeshua takes vengeance on her enemies and avenges the blood of the saints on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). This is the day of wrath for the wicked.

7.) There are 5 days between the Day of Atonment & The Feast of Tabernacles, and this is the white throne judgment seat of Messiah---where the dead are judged. The righteous will receive rewards as to whether his works were of “wood, hay or stubble” (1st Corinthians 3:12).

8.) The Feast of Tabernacles is the wedding celebration where the groom drinks the cup of the covenant with his bride and consumates the marriage on the Feast of Tabernacles.

Let Us Prepare Ourselves & Repent During the Ten Days of Awe!

The commandment is given to “all Israel” (not just Judah/Jews), and this includes the New Testament grafted in branches (believers in Yeshua).

The Feast of Trumpets Begins Sunday September 20th 2009 at sundown:

*This is the true birth of our Savior Yeshua Messiah, we are blowing shofars as we “remember” his coming into the world to redeem us!

Leviticus 23:

23 And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,

24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation (REHEARSAL).

25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHWH.


This is the Feast of Trumpets, called Yom Teruah literally “Day of Blowing.” This begins on the Karaite Barley Harvest Calendar on Sunday September 20th 2009 at sundown.

The Karaite Jews follow the “sighting of the new moon” along with the ripening of the barley each spring in the month Aviv (Exodus 12 & 13).

The Rabbinic Calendar follows a man made calculation started by Hillel II’s Calendar revisions in the 4th Century.

What Is a Biblical New Moon?

http://www.yrm.org/whatisbiblicalnewmoon.htm

Historically, new moon spotters in Israel watched for the thin crescent to establish the beginning of each month. Once seen they reported their sighting to the calendar court authorities of the Sanhedrin. Note what one authority says, “Originally, the New Moon was not fixed by astronomical calculation, but was solemnly proclaimed after witnesses had testified to the reappearance of the crescent of the moon,” Encyclopaedia Judaica, Vol. 12, p. 1039.

The switchover from watching for the first visible crescent to calculating conjunctions to determine the month’s beginning came with Hillel II’s calendar revisions in the 4th century C.E. “By the middle of the fourth century, the sages had established a permanent calendar and the public proclamation of the New Moon was discontinued” (Ibid).

Going by the calculated lunar conjunction contradicts the command in Deuteronomy 16:1: “Observe the month [chodesh, new moon] of Abib and keep the Passover…” Here, the word “observe” in the Hebrew is shamar and also means “look narrowly for, search” (No. 8104 in Strong’s). The Holladay Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon defines it as watching in the sense of looking. Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words includes the definitions “mark, watchman, wait, watch, look narrowly.” The command is to look for, wait for, watch and mark the new moon.

The Day of Atonement Begins Tuesday, September 29th 2009 at sundown:

Leviticus 23:

26 And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,

27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation (REHEARSAL) unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto YHWH.

28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.

29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

Judgment Coming to America Unless We Repent!

Beloved, it is no coincidence that each year when these catastrophic events take place it is around the time of the Fall Feasts. Consider the events that occurred on September 11th 2001. And seven years later on Wall Street, the Financial Crisis with Lehman brothers occurred exactly 7 years later on September 11th 2008! This occurred after America was given a sabbatical of seven years to reflect on what happened on September 11th and still no repentance!

Beloved, our nation is on the brink of God’s Judgment. Disaster is looming. Every where we turn, we are hearing of wars, and rumors of wars. We are hearing about forced vaccinations, martial law, nuclear bombs going off in Washington D.C. We are hearing about famine, pestilences, economic collapse etc.

Yeshua our Messiah spoke of these events in his Olivet discourse in Matthew 24:

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.


History repeats itself and our nation is no different than ancient Israel in the days when God had sent to her many prophets to warn her of impending judgments.

This past week, as I prayed, I asked the Father “what do you want me to read about in the scriptures?” He said “read the book of Amos.” As I read the book of Amos, I realized that he was speaking to me about America!

Listen to what he says:

Amos 5:

18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.


Notice, that he does not say “I hate my feasts” he says “I hate your feasts” and he is speaking to them about the pagan holidays which they adopted from pagan sun god worship in Babylon! This is Christmas & Easter! People, you might be thinking to yourselves “this is really petty there are other sins worse than pagan holidays---what about abortion?” But God is saying to this nation, Abortion has a spiritual root! It comes from tolerating the religion of Jezebel and Ba’al worship seen in Christ Massacre & Easter!

Jezebel’s Religion began with Semiramis “The Queen of Heaven” at the Tower of Babel where babies were offered up to Moloch on December 25th and burned alive! Then after Nimrod, her son/husband was killed by Noah’s son Shem, his body parts were scattered to all ten province of Shinar and the only body part never found was his penis.

So Semiramis (his mother/wife) consulted her astrologers who told her that she would become pregnant by Nimrod’s “rays of the sun” on March 25th (Easter Sunday) because he was the god of the sun. Exactly 9 months later she would give birth to Tammuz on December 25th who was supposedly a reincarnation of Nimrod and this is why God was angry with Israel in Ezekiel 8 where he was about to send a messenger with an ink horn and a slaughter weapon to kill young and old in Ezekiel 9. He listed all the abominations for which he was going to destroy them for, and he says “they set up the image of jealousy” (Ezekiel 8:3).

This is the Washington Monument, a detestable image to Yah! He commands us to break down these images over and over again in scripture. It is an Obelisk; it is Nimrod’s Penis jutting up into the sky symbolizing intercourse with the Queen of Heaven his mother/wife.

They worship “Tammuz” the pagan sun god reincarnated each year on December 25th and they lump Jesus in with him also!

Ezekiel 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

This is what is called “Lent” in today’s Catholic Church and even some Protestants are doing this now. Lent is a carry over from Tammuz who was killed by a wild pig while hunting at the age of 40 years old. Pagans sacrifice one day of pleasure for each year of Tammuz’s life for 40 days leading up to Easter, and then on Easter Sunday, when his mother (Semiramis) rises in the “East” where the sun comes up she is reincarnated and then babies are sacrificed on an altar in her honor on Easter Sunrise services, then the eggs are then dipped in the blood of these sacrificed infants!

THIS IS WHY ABORTION IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL IN AMERICA!!!

The Church must repent of Christ Mass & Easter and every vestige of pagan sun god worship if we want to rid our land of the demons that we invite into our worship when we do these things! And this is the reason why our prayers against abortion have not been effective as a church and as a nation! Sin is in our very own camp! God is saying to the church “judgment begins in my house!”

1st Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Ezekiel 9:

16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.


*Note: Miseltoe, tree worship, Wicca, nature worship, Christmas trees decorated for Nimrod who was cut down like a tree. Jeremiah 10 warns us not to learn the ways of the heathen by cutting down a tree and decorating it with silver and gold. Semiramis commanded the Babylonians to cut down trees from the forest and to decorate them in memory of Nimrod (the god of the sun and the tree). He is also called “Ba’al” which means “Lord, or Husband.” The silver and gold balls were supposed to represent Nimrod’s testicles and this is what Christians do in honor of Jesus? He hates this practice and does not want us to associate him with it!

Listen to what Yah says because he is so angry about Pagan Sun God Worship:

Ezekiel 8:18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

This is a message to the Evangelical Born Again Christian Church today! They are worshipping the pagan sun god, not the real Jesus of the Bible! Paul the Apostle warned about this when he said to the Corinthians:

2nd Corinthians 11:

3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.


Paul is telling these former pagans in the Corinthian Church “I fear for you, that if any so-called prophet comes to you preaching ANOTHER JESUS, you might bear with him or put up with him!”

Listen to the warning that Amos was given for Israel. It is the same warning for America!

Amos 5:

22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.


American Born Again Christians, here me now! Stop looking to the politicians as the reason for our problems! The real problem is in the church!

We have prayer rallies and solemn assemblies calling for fasting and praying for our nation, but we don’t realize that God is calling born again Christians to put away Ba’al Worship!

Yeshua is calling “his people” to come out of MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS:

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Did you hear what Yeshua is saying to his people? He is commanding us to “come out” of the pagan customs from Mystery Babylon, the religion of Nimrod, Semiramis, & Tammuz. This is the same religion that Jezebel brought into Israel in the days of Elijah, and this is why Yeshua rebuked the church at Thyatira for tolerating her:

Revelation 2

19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.


Yeshua is rebuking the modern day American Evangelical Churches for tolerating the Ba’al worship of pagan holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day & Halloween. Now you might be saying to yourself “Maria, don’t be ridiculous, that sounds like legalism to me.”

You might already be conjuring up some scriptures from Galatians 4 and Colossians 2 to try to justify keeping pagan holidays. But I will tell you that Paul is not talking about judging one another for keeping pagan holidays in these scriptures. He is actually admonishing these former pagans in the Colossian & Galatian Churches not to go back under “doctrines and commandments of men.” In other words so-called “holy days” instituted by the corrupted leaders of Israel who copied the pagan holidays of Babylon. This is exactly what the Papacy has done today in the Christian Churches by inventing Easter (Ishtar, Queen of Heaven) Christ Mass (an abomination of re-crucifying Jesus afresh at every mass). Paul was telling the Colossians and the Galatians not to be entangled with so called “holy days” which have a form of godliness such as abstaining from meat on Fridays (Catholic tradition) for the pagan goddess Venus (Constantine renamed her Mary). This is why he said “touch not, handle not, taste not.” He was addressing the 40 days of “Lent” which originated with the “40 days of weeping for Tammuz.”

Paul was telling the Galatians and the Colossians not to allow any man to judge them because they were now keeping the Holy Feast days of Yehovah, which are prophetic shadow pictures of good things to come!

Paul was speaking to them about going back under the “elements” (zodiac signs after which pagan holidays are patterned). He was telling them not to be led by the “rudiments of this world” (nature worship, decorating trees for Nimrod).

Some of the Rabbi’s had picked up many pagan customs while in exile during Babylon and they incorporated it into their worship as seen in Ezekiel 8. They picked up Babylonian Mysticism called Kabbalah just like the Christian Church has picked up Babylonian Mysticism from the Roman Catholic Church today!

Colossians 2:16 says: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

This verse is often used out of context to justify keeping pagan days, but it is saying just the opposite. We are not to judge those who want to keep the feasts of YEHOVAH from Leviticus 23 that are called “holy” and we are not to judge each other in HOW these holy days are celebrated.

This means that we don’t have to sacrifice animals any longer under the new administration of grace. Every believer in Yeshua is now under the royal priesthood of Melchsidek, and so we do not celebrate these feasts in the rabbinic way that they were formerly kept. We are now led by the Holy Spirit in how we keep these holy days. This verse is in no way condoning keeping pagan days, because God never called them holy.

What is Paul talking about then in Colossians 2:16? He is telling them not to let any man judge them for wanting to keep holy days and the Sabbath. He is telling them not to let any man judge them for eating biblically clean foods rather than unclean foods which defile our body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. How do we know that Paul is not condemning the celebration of God’s Holy Feast days?

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

*What was blotted out? The word ordinance here is “dogma” in Greek meaning a man made decree. What caused these man-made decrees to come into existence? It was the sinful nature of man—pride. Because of pride, rabbis had made up their own traditions in the temple that were against God’s Torah and they added in many pagan customs that they picked up while they were in exile in Babylon. These man made ordinances were “against us” because they teach us lies that are against God’s commandments. These man made doctrines and ordinances were nailed to the cross because they are the “leaven of the Pharisees.” God is against anything that “adds to or subtracts from” his Holy Law—the Torah.

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.


Maria’s Paraphrase of Paul in Colossians 2:15-17:

Because Messiah spoiled these demonic principalities which are behind these man made doctrines, and he made an open show of them, THEREFORE.......Let no pagan judge you in the clean meat that you eat now (now that you don’t eat parasite infested pork) and let no pagan judge you in the Passover Wine that you drink as part of the Covenant. Let no pagan judge you for watching for the new moons each month and sounding the shofar. Let no man judge you for wanting to keep God’s Holy Days and his Sabbath Days because these Holy Days and Sabbath days are a prophetic shadow picture of good things to come. But the Body of Messiah/Christ is allowed to judge you in these things. (1st Corinthians 5 tells us that we are supposed to judge those inside the household of faith.)

18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.


What is Paul talking about here in Colossians 2:18-23? He is telling them not to be seduced by some false doctrine that promotes the worship of angels (putting an angel at the top of your Christmas Tree?); Having statues and graven images of angels decorating your house, etc. He is saying, if I may paraphrase:

“If you are dead to these former pagan customs why as though you are back in the world subject to these man made customs again? You are fasting for 40 days for Lent, giving up meat on Fridays during Lent, and all these man made customs which are patterned after the doctrines and commandments of men. These customs appear to be pious and show a false humility because they make you neglect your body, but they only serve to satisfy the flesh because you make yourself believe that you did something holy.”

Galatians 4:

8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.


Maria’s Paraphrase:

When you did not know the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, and you were pagans, you served other gods by worshipping the created things in nature. Now that you know the God of Israel, why are you turning again to the weak elements of nature and zodiac signs? (Four elements of zodiac are: fire, water, air, earth).

Why do you desire to be in bondage again to paganism? You observe the pagan sun god holidays patterned after the zodiac signs; you follow your astrological forecast, by observing times and years etc. (Deuteronomy 18:10-11 calls these an abomination).

Paul continues in Galatians 4:

11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?


Paul is speaking to these Galatians who have just come out of the bondage of man made religion. Judaism in those days was a mixture of God’s commandments mixed with pagan sun god worship from Babylon, much like today’s Christian Churches. He is telling them, why do you desire to be under bondage to the “Oral Law” of the Rabbi’s? He goes on and gives an allegory of two covenants. The first covenant given to Moses in stone tablets was corruptible or breakable. It was broken because of sin, not because the covenant or the commandments themselves were flawed. The first set of stone tablets were presented at Mount Sinai (Sinai is a Babylonian moon god) and this first covenant “genders to bondage” (Galatians 4:24) only because of the people’s idolatrous hearts. God’s covenant itself was not flawed.

God wanted Israel to hear his voice at Mount Sinai but they refused to hear his voice. So God had to give them his instructions in stone tablets which were impersonal. He knew they were not going to be able to keep it this way.

But the second set of stone tablets given to Moses when he went back up the second time, were not broken. Instead, they were deposited into an ark made of incorruptible wood (called shittim wood). And this wood never rots. This is symbolic of the New Covenant which is made “incorruptible” when we receive a new born again nature! When Moses presented the second set of tablets to Israel and they were deposited into that ark made of incorruptible wood, the sacrificial system was set up in the Tabernacle (symbolic of the cross and the blood atonement of Messiah). And this second set of tablets pre-figured the New Covenant! The second set of tablets were presented NOT at Mount Sinai this time but at “Mount Horeb” which was a different location within the same mountain range. But the word “Horeb” means “to kill, destroy.” This word “Horeb” represents the cross where sin was destroyed for us. And so the second set of stone tablets presented to Israel by Moses did not bring them into “bondage” as Paul described in Galatians 4, that this second covenant “genders to freedom” and answers to Jerusalem, where the sacrificial system was set up in the temple and Yeshua was ultimately sacrificed for us.

The New Covenant was presented on the day of Pentecost when the same “Law” of Moses was transferred from stone tablets and put into “fleshy tables of the heart” (2nd Corinthians 3:3) as the Renewed Covenant offered in Yeshua’s blood. This is where God restored our ability to “hear his voice” when the disciples spoke in tongues and each man present could “hear” his own language being spoken. God restored what he had always intended to do at Mount Sinai by allowing his to hear his Torah in our hearts by his own voice.

This New Covenant was not a different set of laws any more than the second set of stone tablets given to Israel through Moses was a different set of laws. The only difference was in the “form” that they were given to us in. The first covenant was corruptible or breakable (in stone tablets) and also in Yeshua’s corruptible body which was destroyed on the cross. But the second set of stone tablets pre-figured the New Covenant when Yeshua resurrected and put on incorruption. Yeshua is the Living Law or Living Word of God. He came to us as the “word became flesh” but he came in a corruptible form (like that first set of stone tablets). But after he destroyed the corruptible form of the law on the cross (like Moses broke the first set of tablets), then he put on incorruption and the Law (who is the person of Yeshua himself) became incorruptible exactly the same way that Moses deposited the second set of tablets into an ark made of incorruptible wood. Now the Law is all the more established in our hearts and minds because we are able to hear his voice.

So you see the Apostle Paul would be contradicting himself if he was stating in Colossians 2 & Galatians 4, that we were no longer supposed to keep God’s Holy Days, because he tells us that the law of God is all the more established in our hearts because of faith:

Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Galatians 4 describes two covenants:

1.) The First Covenant (stone tablets) were broken because of Idolatry with the Golden Calf at Mount Sinai. Sinai means “Babylonian Moon god.” This covenant genders to bondage because of their idolatry (not because God’s commandments put us in bondage).

2.)The Second Covenant was presented at Mount Horeb and deposited into the ark made of incorruptible wood (symbolic of a new incorruptible nature) and those commandments were identical to the first set which was broken. What was different? The sacrificial system in the Tabernacle was set up and blood atonement was made for their idolatry. They were also in faith when the second covenant (stone tablets) were presented and this brought them freedom!

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Hagar.

25 For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.


So you see, both the Old & New Covenants were pre-figured in the book of Exodus! What puts men into bondage is not God’s Holy Laws, but the sin of Idolatry!

In these next TEN DAYS OF AWE, let’s repent as a nation and as a body of Messiah for tolerating the religion of Jezebel. Come out her my people!

2nd Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
