- -Sharing our Saviour Yahushua the Messiah to the World!--
-Please Read this FIRST- On this site we
prefer to use the actual Name of our loving Heavenly Father as it was written
in the Word, and thus you will note that we will use the Four Letter
“Memorial Name” of
- YHVH,
which is pronounced as YaHVaH or YaHWaH. In addition we will also use our
Heavenly Father’s attribute/title, which is Elohim rather than
“God,” which sadly is the name of a pagan god. In addition we also
love to use the actual and real Name of our beloved Messiah which is
- Yahushua or Yahshua in short, for this is
our Saviours original Hebrew Name as given to Him at birth in Lukas - Luke 1:31. This was the only Name ever used
when He was on the earth by His family, disciples and His followers OVER THE
centuries, even until today! However, it was changed to a foreign name by the
founder of the new “pagan church of Rome.” Occasionally, we may
also use other Hebrew or Greek names as well as different words in our studies
for certain common words used are from pagan backgrounds and thus are not
suitable. All names will be translated when they are FIRST used in a study or
at various times as needed for clarity. There is a full explanation of
YHVH’s blessed “Memorial Name” as well as the wonderful
blessed Name of our Messiah and Saviour, thus please read … “The Memorial Name.”
The
three levels of learning & understanding of the blessed Word of YaHVaH Elohim (the Lord God):
When we read and
study the blessed Scriptures, the Word of YHVH Elohim as a believer in Yahushua
(Yeshua) the Messiah, we should keep following three steps always in mind for
they are a valuable guide and it will certainly provide us with guidance and
illuminate the sheer beauty and the fullness of YHVH’s most blessed Word.
1. Who was YHVH Elohim, blessed be His Holy Name speaking to?
2. When was it said?
3. How was His Word understood at the time it was spoken/given?
I do believe
that these three points are most relevant to our understanding of 1. What
the Almighty is saying at the time – 2. As well as what it means to us
today - and 3. Especially to you and me right now!

Short Introduction:
With the abdication of Benedict XVI
in February 2013, he became the first Pope in some 600 years to relinquish his
title. It was announced by a source of the Roman
Catholic Church that that “Pope Benedict
had been a true successor of St Peter”
of course meaning the Apostle of Messiah Jesus,
whose actual Name is Yahushua! On the final day he departed the Vatican
per helicopter for his new, but temporary home, being the luxurious Castel
Gandolfo, but sometimes in April after renovations will be completed he will
move into “Mater Ecclesiae,” being what was at least a more modest
convent for cloistered nuns at the Vatican.
However, it was not long after Benedict XVI had departed, the
Cardinals from around the world came together at the Vatican and entered the
Sistine Chapel and what was considered to be relatively fast, it was on the
second day of their sitting and casting votes, they elected their new leader on
March 13, 2013. But what was so very different this time was that their new
Pope was in fact a Jesuit priest, who was sworn in with the evil and infamous
“Jesuit (blood drawing) Oath,” and he had to sign an agreement by
using his own blood that he had drawn from his chest with a knife that both he
and the Jesuit Superior General held together during the entire ceremony, he
held the blade and the Superior General held the handle! The Jesuits were
formed by an ex Knight who turned to Catholicism and became a priest and in
1541 he established this evil organisation known as the Jesuits, who are rather
militant in many ways, but they will even take on any guise that will suit them
in order to take over churches or organisations. Read my study regarding Pope Francis and the
history of the Jesuits via the link at the bottom of the page!
Thus Pope Francis
became the very first Pope in history to be a Jesuit! In addition, he is the
very first Pope to come from a third world country, being an Argentinean
Cardinal by the name of; Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Buenos Aires. In addition
he himself decided on another first, the third of the firsts, as he decided to
take on a name that has never been used by any other Pope in history, which was
strange, thus he became “Pope Francis the First.” Since becoming a
Pope many will have seen how he has already changed many of the tradition as
set in stone in the Word, for he has even blessed homosexuals, told priests and
bishops to forgive mothers who had abortions and the list just goes on!
Thus, with this new man at the helm of the 1.2 billion ROMAN
Catholic’s had a wish to start a new age and for some reason, I tend to I
ask myself, why do I feel so tense about this man for he is being called
“The Pope for the people.” He has slowly given into homosexuality
and is easing the churches stand on them, and is also now not as hard on
abortion as well as priest marrying. This is a whole new Pope for the End days
and he is without a doubt preparing the way for the end times! Yes, he
certainly comes across as a humble man and he certainly seems to be liked by so
many, and I have heard that he is admired by almost all persuasions, and I do
mean people from the vast majority of faiths. Now that is what I call the
perfect deception for a pagan faith that is ruled by Satan
himself!
A Future False Pease Maker:
Now just think about it, for years it has been said that people will
not easily take to the coming of a new world leader, and I am speaking of
course of that false peacemaker, who will be the Anti-Messiah (Christ)!
But I say, yes they will for he will be just like this man, very humble, most
kind and so very likable. But Anti-Messiah will not be a Pope, but the Pope
could well be the false prophet in the scheme of things. But, today the Pope is
preparing the way for what is to come in the future in what is what we know a
very evil world!
But friends we should also know much
more about the beginnings of the Roman Catholic Church!
I have covered the recent facts about the Pope, but friends, there
was a short statement in the very first paragraph that I would like you to take
a very careful note of; for the question I must ask is this, “Was that
statement 100% true, Scripturally, Historically and according to the Word of
YHVH Elohim (God) and the Writings of the Apostles? Now you are asking,
“What was the statement?” it is this one … “Pope Benedict had been a true successor of St
Peter.”
The question is this; “Was the man known in the blessed
Scriptures as Shime’on ben Yochanan (known as Peter) the Apostle who walked with Yahushua our
blessed Saviour, EVER IN ROME?”
Well my friends that is what this study is all about and by the time
you come to the conclusion of this study you will be astounded, for the Word is
TRUTH and it will give you a factual and a true answer in its entirety! May I
say as we continue, please never trust man, no not even this teacher, for I
also can make mistakes, for if what I say does not line up with the blessed
Word of our Heavenly Father then throw it out with the dish water. But, I ask
you to pray to the Father in the most wonderful and blessed Name of Yahushua
(Yeshua) our loving Saviour, and ask that He will guide and provide you with
discernment as you study this work! HaleluYAH.
The other Simon
in the Scriptures:
This study will cover in detail the story of Simon,
who is a man that lived in Samaria and he was clearly spoken
about in the “Brit Chadashah” being Hebrew for the “New
Covenant.” You may ask; “Well, who is this Simon and what has he done?”
Beloved, I am sad to say, that he has done a great deal and he has
even touched your life to this day and that is what you will learn in this
study. I pray that you gain a better understanding of how the original church
in Rome came into being and how it relates to
early Rome as well as the days of the
Tribulation for the two Rome’s
are connected. The Word very clearly describes ancient Rome as well the Rome of
the “Latter Days,” for it will be the seat of great Satanic evil it
will be drunk with the blood of the faithful in Messiah Yahushua as prophecy
has so clearly revealed to us in the Book of Revelation:
“And
I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy,
having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet,
and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a
golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on
her forehead a name was written: Mystery, Babylon
the Great, the Mother of Harlots and of the Abominations of the Earth. I saw
the woman, drunk with the blood of the faithful and with the blood of the martyrs
of Yahushua.” Revelation 17:3-6.
Beloved, I will provide you the details directly from the Word of
YaHVaH Elohim, for remember that the Word is;
“All Scripture is given by inspiration
of Elohim, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness.” 2 Timotheos – 2 Timothy 3:16.
In addition some other details will come from recorded history and
some well know historians, including one who was present at the time, and
although I known that what is presented is fully backed up, you still need to
follow everything up for yourself, as well as through prayer and not through
another person, for they, such as pastors or priests will all have their well
prepared stock answers, for like so many they live in a world of traditions and
that is so sad! I know all the aforementioned so well for as a Hebrew, I lived
a life full of “rabbinic traditions” and “vain and
repetitious prayers,” but when I was miraculously redeemed by the shed
Blood of the Lamb of Elohim, all traditions were thrown out of my life, and
only His Word became part of my life, in fact the first seven years I read only
the blessed Scriptures and no other writings by any man! This way I could not
be indoctrinated by erroneous teachings, Only His Word would do, for nothing
else was good enough! Blessed be His Sanctified Name! And my teaching continues
on this basis to this day.
*****************************
The Man who changed the
church and the World to this Day!
I am sure many will realise that the pagan church of Rome had its
beginnings during the days of the Apostles. But what the tragedy really is that
this conflict did not just remain within the Roman Catholic church, but it
together with much of its erroneous pagan doctrines were transferred into her
harlot daughters who decided to go their own separate ways, being 98% of the
Protestant churches. Many had thought that they would dump some of the Roman satanic doctrines, but not even Martin Luther
understood Elohim’s command regarding “Make no graven images or
likeness!
“You shall not make unto yourself any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in
the earth below.” Shemos - Exodus 20:4.
Go into any Lutheran church and you will find
statues and images, as well as stained glass windows with depictions all of
which are graven! In addition Luther
was an evil man in his later life as he was obviously still very Roman inspired
with a hatred for “the Jews.” Tragically Martin Luther was the man
who was responsible for the slaughter of countless millions of men, women and
children, all because of his very last wicked and evil book entitled in German; “Von den Juden
und Ihren Lügen”
or “Of the Jews and Their Lies” in 1543.
Luther expressed his virulent opinion of the
Jews very freely, by calling them “venomous and virulent,”
“thieves and brigands,” and “disgusting vermin,” and
encouraged christian princes to take the following action; “their
Synagogues should be set on fire and whatever does not burn up should be
covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a
cinder or stone of it.” He urged that
“Jewish homes,” be “broken down and destroyed.” and
that the “Jews should then be placed under one roof, or in a stable like
Gypsies, in order that they may realise that they are not masters in our
land.” Luther continued
“These poisonous worms (the Jewish people) should be driven out of the
country for all time like mad dogs.” Many of the Protestant rulers of the
times relied on Luther’s
political advice, and through his maniacal tirades against Israel
resulted in the expulsion of Jews from Saxony
in 1543. But, this satanically inspired
man did far more even after his death!
In 1920, a young lecturer gave an impassioned address entitled; “Why we are against the Jews.”
The name of this young speaker was none other than Adolph Hitler.
He declared, “It is the German
duty to arouse, whip up and incite the instinctive repugnance of the Jews to
even a higher pitch.” The political party that Hitler
controlled attracted masses of like-minded Germans. The Nazis set themselves
the task to cleanse Germany
and to restore the supremacy of the Aryan race and rescue the German, Teutonic
peoples from the “cancerous
species of Jews and other non-Aryan subcultures.” Hatred was the
main feature of Hitler’s programme, hatred of
the Jews, hatred of Slavs, Gypsies, and other so-called inferior people. Even
the mentally and physically handicapped were hated and doomed for
extermination. Millions cheered Hitler as he
promised to make Germany
great again. They also cheered as Hitler again and
again quoted from Luther's book “Of the Jews and their Lies”
and promised to drive “the
disgusting vermin, the Jews, out of existence for all time like mad
dogs.” He wasted no time in carrying out his programme of hatred,
just like Luther did back in 1543.
However, the sad truth is that there are so many pagan ideologies
and doctrines in the beginnings of church of Rome that many of these crept in
all thanks to one man by the most crafty and most evil of beings HaSatan, or Satan!
This man Simon heard about
the Messiah of Israel at a meeting that is clearly recorded in the book of
Acts, Chapter 8. This was a meeting between this Samaritan who was also a
Babylonian high priest who later met the Apostle Philip
and then Shime’on ben Yochanan (Peter) when he visited Samaria.
This evil man born in the village of Gitta in Samaria, but we first
need to look at some of the background of the Samaritans as well the meaning of
this person’s name. We will then look into the new "religion"
that he established and ask “who was he?” Although, be advised that
I may not go through all the issues in the order as mentioned.
The Samaritans’: Judea
and the Samaritans had a long and outstanding conflict, for the Samaritans were
an evil people that practices paganism and did things that were simply
abhorrent to the Hebrews. Many various battles took place, but around 29 BC,
during the Feast of Passover, a group of Samaritan men entered into Jerusalem
in secret and entered the temple and began to scatter human bones in the
porticoes and throughout the temple. This so horrified the priests, who were
not accustomed to such evil things were forced to manage the temple with far
greater care in the future. Obviously, it was soon found out who the culprits
were as they with pride announced it!
Thus, there was no great love lost between the two nations and this
satanic man came from this background, whilst the men of faith in Messiah still
went in to preach the Good News to all sinners in Samaria for that is where the
Gospel was greatly needed, and praise be to our Saviour, many did come to
Yahushua and were redeemed!
Let us now read a part of the Word it clearly describes that evil
man concerned, for he is to be found in the Book of Acts, and the vital part
comes when he actually meets the man he desires to be Shime’on
(Peter)!
“Filippos - Philip went down to a city in Samaria
and proclaimed the Messiah there. When the crowds heard Filippos
- Philip and saw the miraculous signs
he did, they all paid close attention to what he said. With shrieks, evil
spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed. So
there was great joy in that city. But there was a certain man, called Simon,
which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of
Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed,
from the least to the greatest, saying, this man is the great power of Elohim.
And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them
with sorceries.
But when they believed Filippos
- Philip preaching the things concerning the Kingdom of Elohim, and the Name of
Yahushua the Messiah, they were immersed - baptised, both men and women. Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was
immersed, he continued (remained) with Filippos - Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs
which were done.
Now when the Apostles that were at Jerusalem
and heard that the Samaritans had received the Word of Elohim, they sent unto
them Shime’on ben Yochanan - Peter and Yochanan - John: Who, when they
had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: For as
yet he had fallen upon any of them: only they were baptised in the Name of the
Master, Yahushua. Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the
Holy Spirit. And when Simon (the
Samaritan) saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy
Spirit was given, he offered them money, Saying, ‘Give me also this
power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.’
But Shime’on ben Yochanan - Peter said unto him, ‘Your money perish with you,
because you have thought that the gift of Elohim could be purchased with money.
You have neither a part or a lot in this matter: for your heart is not right in
the sight of Elohim. Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray Elohim,
if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. For I perceive that
you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.’ Then
answered Simon, and said, ‘Pray
to YHVH for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon
me.’” Acts 8:5-24.
As we can so clearly see from this Scripture, that Satan was already
perfecting a counterfeit, an “anti-messiah” type, who was working
right in very the backyard of Messiah's much loved Apostles and he even had a
meeting with Shime’on ben Yochanan - Peter himself. His name was Simon Magnus
or as he was also known as ‘Simon
the Sorcerer’ and this man, was obviously NOT Shime'on
ben Yochanan - Peter, for he was the
true Apostle, who was the greatly loved one of Yahushua the Messiah!
Yet strangely enough we have always been told that it was “the
Apostle Peter
(Shime’on ben Yochanan) who went to Rome
and that it was he who was the founder of the church" there. Sorry that is
a lie! In fact it was another Simon
that went there, and that was “Simon
the Sorcerer” who arrived in Rome,
and certainly NOT Shime’on, for the beloved
disciple of our Messiah never throughout his entire life set a foot in THAT
City. Check the Scriptures and you will discover that Yahushua appointed Shime’on - Peter
to be the Apostle to whom? In fact it is Shaul - Paul
who makes it extremely clear that he himself was the Apostle to the Gentiles,
and Peter to the Jews in his writings
Galatians;
“But
when they saw that the gospel of the un-circumcision (the
Gentiles) was committed was unto me (Shaul - Paul),
as the gospel of the circumcision (the Hebrews – Jews) was
given unto Shime’on- Peter.” Galatians 2:7.
“For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch
as I am an Apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry.” Romans 11:13.
Thus, Shaul fully confirms that his ministry was totally and 100%
aimed to the Gentiles in Rome, although he also
did minister to the Hebrews there for they were scattered amongst the Gentile
nations that he travelled to, including his main destination, Rome!
Who does History say this Simon
became!
Now read a remarkable account what Justin Martyr had written, and
how Simon had finally become regarded and worse still honoured as a god, for
the Romans revered him so much that they even raised up a statue to honour the
“holy god Simon”;
"When Justin Martyr wrote [152 A.D.] his Apology, the sect of the Simonians appears to
have been formidable, for he speaks four times of their founder, Simon; and we need not doubt that he identified him
with the Simon of the Acts. He states that
he was a Samaritan, adding that his birthplace was a village called Gitta; he
describes him as a formidable magician, and tells that he came to ROME in the
days of Claudius Caesar (45 A.D.), and made such an impression by his magical
powers, that he was honoured as a god, a statue being erected to him on the
Tiber, between the two bridges, bearing the inscription ‘Simoni deo Sancto’ (i.e., the ‘holy god Simon’).”
(Dictionary of Christian Biography, Vol. 4, p. 682).
That these things actually happened cannot be doubted! Justin Martyr
was writing to the Roman people at the
very time and they could certainly have exposed Justin’s
credibility if what he said had not been the case. Therefore, there is no doubt
that a statue of Simon was actually
erected is definite, for we also know that Justin
did go and he begged the authorities in Rome
to destroy it!
There are many writers, who lived in Rome
itself, who afterwards repeated Justin’s
account. Those who want to reject these clear statements have nothing in their
favour. Justin is clearly giving us
the facts!
Hastings’s Dictionary of the Apostolic Church,
states that there is …
“very slight evidence on which to reject
so precise a statement as Justin
makes; a statement he would scarcely have hazarded in an apology addressed to Rome,
where every person had the means of ascertaining its accuracy. If he made a
mistake, it must have been at once exposed, and other writers would not have
frequently repeated the story as they have done.” (Hastings’s
Dictionary of the Apostolic Church, Vol 2, p. 496).
These are the facts of the times, in the days of Claudius it would
have been totally illegal to erect a statue to any man as a god or one who was
a honoured person, unless a request had been made to the Senate and then only
when they agreed they would submit it to the Emperor, and when he gave full
permission only then could they go ahead. Obviously, permission was given by
both the Senate and Claudius, for the statue
remained standing until Justin’s
day in 152 AD, and the people were still worshipping it.
There are countless other reports of Simon’s
travelling to Rome and becoming one of the great
gods to the city and to the people of Rome.
“There are records that show that Simon prophesies that Rome
will be the scene of his crowning glory, when he will be adored as a god”
(Dictionary of Religion & Ethics, Vol. 11, p. 522).
Proof of Simon’s
existence:
Amazingly to this very day there are still countless images and
mosaics of him they still call “Saint
Simon” who had become the
“first Bishop of Rome”, just like the one shown below. The only
reason I am showing this evil pagan image is to prove the point who this evil
sorcerer was, and let’s be honest he was a satanic Babylonian priest who
commenced the new Roman based pagan
“christian” religion. His master was certainly not our blessed
“Saviour”, but instead he inserted a very different god indeed, and
that I will explain below this wicked image!

This
is a Mosaic of the so-called “Saint
Simon” in the Palatine
Chapel
(Cappala Palatina)
Sicily - this
can be seen to this day!
A Short Message of Teaching:
The creation of the word “Christian”
Simon (Peter) Magnus the Sorcerer arrived at Rome with the idea of
convincing these peoples through his satanic powers and tricks of elevation,
etc, that he indeed was a man of a god, and he instituted a new religion
carried a mixture of Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek and Roman pagan ideas combined
and wrapped up with his new “chrestos” = “christian”
names and identities. Thus he wove all these into a unified system of his own,
that at first became known as a sect called the “Simonians.”
We need to understand that there was no word in use for the faithful
in the Body of the Faithful in Messiah; words used were the brethren, faithful,
believers, Ekklesia and other similar words. Not even Messianic. There were
some who had picked up the two special Words of Yahushua during his teachings
in Lucas – Luke 12: 32 – “Little Flock” and were using
that as designating themselves, for the verse that came with it applied
directly to them and they had a desire to follow it!
“Do not be afraid, little flock, for
your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and
give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a
treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no
moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Luke 12:32-34.
What Simon Magnus
did is directly related to a word that all “christians” know so
well and that is how they are so closely related to this pagan conjurer! The
word is “Christian” and I
am sure that you will remember I mentioned that he coined the term, and out of
this came the associated word “Christ,”
Let me now explain how he did that!
The Greek faithful in Yahushua THE
Messiah originally used the word “Messias” being a transliteration
for the Hebrew “Mashiach” that means “Anointed” or
“Messiah.” However, it was obvious that the word “Christos” became the new and popular word in
the newfound religion.
But as it was originally Messias,
the question begs, “Where did this brand new word, a word that did not
exist at the time, come from?” And friends, that is a question that must
be answered and be made clear!
There is an ancient
“christian” inscription in existence that goes back to 318 A.D. and
it states: “The Lord and Saviour Jesus the Good.” Now interestingly
it is the word “Good” that is in question
here and very soon you will understand why.
When it came to presenting details, such as names and titles of a
new faith it would be far more acceptable to the Greek and Roman pagans who
were worshiping their many god’s, and thus it was better to give them
names that the Romans, as well as the Greeks, were more used to. Therefore,
rather than retaining the original Hebrew “Mashiach” or
“Messias” Simon Magnus decided to use the title, or in this case
the name of their pagan god’s “Chreston” and “Chrestos.”
Now why should that not surprise us?
According to the Interpreter’s “Dictionary of the
Bible,” the word “Christos”
was easily confused with the common Greek name “Chrestos,” meaning
“Good.” Also according to a French theological dictionary, it is
absolutely beyond doubt that “Christus” and “Chrestos,”
and “Christiani” as well as “Chrestiani” were used
indifferently by the profane and various christian authors of the first two
centuries A.D., and that the word “Chreston” and
“Chrestus” and “Christus” were originally introduced by
Simon (the sorcerer) Magnus.
The German “Real-encyclopaedie,” states that an
inscription of “Chrestos is to be seen on an ancient Mithras
relief in the Vatican”
and considering that the vatican cathedral was purposely designed in a pagan
design, again no surprise there! According to “Christianity and
Mythology,” - “Osiris the sun deity of Egypt
was also revered by the name of Chrestos! However, “Chrestos” was
also “the Pagan god and the judge of Hades, the lower world.”
What has all the above taught us? Obviously that this man was
completely evil and that he commenced a pagan “christian church,”
and having read what we just have above, and pray that you would start any
study prayerfully, that you will have been shown that the very word
“christian” is in fact pagan itself, thus if you call yourself a
christian you are connecting yourself with a pagan sun god and the god judge of
Hades!
I am sure that by now you will noted that we never call ourselves by
that evil name, but rather as the “faithful in Messiah,” or by the
name our beloved Saviour used - the “Little Flock.” Regarding using
a name, remember the Word of the Almighty!
“And
in all that I have said to you, beware
and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.” Shemos - Exodus 23:13.
Shime’on
(called Peter) was NOT in Rome,
but it was Simon
Magnus:
In due course many details were released about Shime’on
ben Yochanan’s meeting the evil Simon Magnus
once again, but this time in Rome and overthrowing him. But if
anyone has read any of these works they are all just fables, simple fiction!
Almost every single scholar will know the absurdity of maintaining such a lie.
In the first place, for it can be Scripturally be proven that Shime’on
the Apostle was NEVER in Rome
when these fictitious writings say that he had been there. For it was NOT Shime’on - Peter
who went to Rome to become Apostle to the World,
but THE SIMON in Rome
was SIMON (Peter)
MAGNUS, the Samaritan and the Satanic sorcerer!
Therefore the Apostle Shime’on -
known as Peter was not with Simon Magnus
in Rome and
this is made very clear in the Encyclopaedia Biblica;
“The
attempt has been made to meet this by pointing out that church fathers mention
the presence of Simon in Rome
while at the same time not speaking of controversies between him and Peter. This is indeed true of Justin
one of the earliest witnesses of152 A.D. who knows nothing of any presence of Peter in Rome
at all, as also of Irenaeus.” (Encyclopaedia
Biblica, col. 4554).
The truth is that Justin
Martyr knew that Shime’on
- Peter was not in Rome
at the time, but his deliberate silence shows he did not want to perpetrate
such fiction. After all, Justin lived
very early in the history of the time of the faithful in Messiah, and the
legend of the Apostle Shime’on
- Peter having been in Rome
had not as yet commenced as yet! Continuing with the Encyclopaedia Biblica
about Justin’s reference to Simon Magnus:
“One part of this tradition, that about
Simon’s presence in Rome, he (Justin) found himself able to accept, in
fact he held it to be confirmed by the statue, which he brought into connection
with Simon; the other about Peter’s presence in Rome, that he was unable
to accept.” (Encyclopaedia Biblica, col. 4555).
Of course Justin was unable
to accept the latter teaching. The fact is the Apostle
Shime’on was not in Rome
at all. It was another Simon who went
there, the one who brought them his new Universal Roman faith called
“christianity” to them in the guise of the old Babylonian mystery
religions. Simon came to Rome
with the grand idea of establishing this Universal Religion with the name of
“christianity!” And what is remarkable, he accomplished just that!
Now, we will see how this most evil of all men, who was obviously guided by
Satan, became confused with the true Apostle Shime’on - Peter who walked
with Yahushua, and how this sorcerer cleverly brought into reality a faith that
he had partially learned about from the apostles, and his own teachings, as
well as the pagan religions of Egypt. Babylon, Greece
and Rome, and
as I have already said a number of times, he called this the “Universal
Roman Christianity,” that then in due course was officially renamed the
“Roman Catholic Church.”
The Proof that the Apostle
Shime’on - Peter was NOT the First Pope!
Please Note, and note it very clearly, for below I will provide a
number of solid Scriptural proofs that the Apostle Shime’on (Peter)
was never in Rome!
I ask you beloved that you mark each one in your own Scriptures and
understand them well, in order that you will not be deceived again! The entire
Roman Catholic Church fundamental doctrine depends upon one single claim. And
that claim is as follows:
Simon
Magnus - the
first Bishop (Pope) of Rome
and the founder of the Roman Catholic Church!
The teaching of Catholic historians tells us that Simon Peter went to Rome
at the same time as Simon
Magnus in order to thwart his
evils. This was during the reign of Claudius. After
successfully combating the Magnus, they tell us, Peter
assumed the Roman bishopric and ruled it until the Neronian persecutions of 68
A.D., during which Peter was supposed
to have been crucified upside down on Vatican
hill. This is the basic story and Catholic writers never shirk in attempting to
defend it. Some of them say that this general account is one of the most
provable of historical events.
But the question is, can this be really true?
We need to go back once more to one of the early authors such as
Justin Martyr, being one of them, who gave clear information that completely
negated Peter’s supposed Roman bishopric. This is admitted by virtually
every single scholar except the most conservative Roman Catholics of course!
(this is also confirmed in Encyclopaedia Biblica, col. 4554).
But, more importantly than this are the blessed records found in the
writings of the “Brit Chadashah,” the “New Covenant”
that absolutely refutes the “Roman Catholic” claim, for their
problem is, that they just do not know their Scriptures well enough and they
also use additional writings that were never included in the Scriptures, thus
not valid! The Catholic Bible is a man’s version, and certainly far from
the authorised one!
Beloved, it is time that the greater church opens its eyes to the
truth of the matter, for the truth is so clearly revealed in the Word of YaHVaH
Elohim, blessed be His Holy Name! The Apostle Shime’on ben Yochanan - Peter was never the “Bishop of Rome!”
Teachings from the blessed Word of Elohim:
As I stated earlier there are a good number of Major Scriptural New
Covenant proofs that completely disprove the claim that the Apostle Shime’on - Peter was in Rome from the time of Claudius until Nero. The blessed
Word proves it and there are many evidences in the Word that should be
sufficient to prove the madness of the pagan Roman Catholic
Church’s’ claim. Note clearly what the Almighty tells us for the
truth is absolutely conclusive!
Evidence Nr. One:
First we should consider what commission
our beloved Messiah Yahushua gave to the Apostle Shime’on - Peter.
The truth is that this very fact is rather embarrassing to the “Roman
Catholic Church” for our Saviour Himself commissioned Shime’on
Kepha - the “precious stone”, to become the chief minister to the
“circumcised,” and that of course means beloved, the Judeans and to
the Children of Israel and NOT to the uncircumcised, or the Gentiles!
Lets read the blessed Word, for it makes it all very clear!
“But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel
of the un-circumcision (the Gentiles) was committed unto me (Shaul - Paul), as the
gospel of the circumcision (Judeans - the Hebrews) was unto Kepha – Shime’on - Peter.” Galatians 2:7.
Having read the Word, we have seen it in the very clearest of
language. The fact is that Yahushua had commissioned Shaul - Paul, and that Shime’on
was not to be an Apostle to the Gentiles. And remember who wrote the Epistle to
the Romans? It certainly was not then Apostle by the name of Shime’on
ben Yochanan - Peter, but it was of
course Shaul - Paul of Tarsus,
the tent maker!
"And when Ya’akov - James, Kepha -
Peter, and Yochanan - John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace
(i.e., the gift or office) that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas
the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they
unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.
Shaul again confirmed his special office as “the apostle to
the Gentiles”;
“To whom I am appointed a preacher and
an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.” 2 Timothy
1:11.
It has become quite obvious that so far Shime’on
- Peter is nowhere called the Apostle
to the Gentiles! This precludes him from going to Rome
to become the head and leader of a Gentile (Roman)
community.
Evidence Nr. Two:
Shaul specifically told the faithful and
people of Rome
that he had been chosen to be their Apostle, thus it was obviously not
going to be not Shime’on - Peter!
“Because of the grace Elohim gave me to
be a minister of Messiah Yahushua to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of
proclaiming the gospel of Elohim, so that the Gentiles might become an offering
acceptable to Elohim, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:15-16.
We already know that Shaul - Paul
had a direct charge from Messiah regarding this matter. He even further relates
in Romans 15:18 that it was Messiah who had chosen him “to make the
Gentiles obedient, by word and deed.”
But let us now look at Romans Chapter 1 and verses 1, 7 and chapter
15, where Shaul of Tarsus – Paul made it absolutely 100% clear what his
mission was to the Romans and that no one had proceeded him in sharing the
Gospel in Rome!
“Shaul, a bondservant of Yahushua the
Messiah (Yeshua the Messias), called to be an Apostle, separated to the Gospel
(Good News) of Elohim … To all who are in Rome, beloved of Elohim, called
to be saints (future tense) … That is why I am so eager to preach the
Gospel also to you who are at Rome.”
However, it is in chapter 15 of Romans we find the absolute and very
clear proof that Shime’on ben Yochanan - Peter had never visited before Shaul - Paul, and yet Shaul had arrived after Shime’on
- Peter was supposed have arrived
according the church of Rome who clearly claimed that “the Apostle Peter came to Rome
and established the Church there.” However, we know that when Shaul
wrote the following in Romans 15, he made his position in Rome
very clear indeed;
“It has always been my ambition to preach the Gospel
where Messiah was not known, so that I would not be building on someone
else’s foundation. Rather, as it is written: ‘Those who were not
told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.’” Romans 15:20-21.
Now that makes it very clear indeed that the Gospel had NEVEL been
preached officially by anyone, certainly not by the chief of all the Apostles, Shime’on ben Yochanan - “Peter.”
For obviously, as Shaul said in Romans chapter 15:20-21 that his “ambition
was to preach the Good News where Yahushua the Messiah was NOT known, and that
he would never, step on another preachers toes,” so to say!
Why is it you do not know this?
In answer to the question I have posed above, let me put it in an
old-fashioned terminology and I am sorry, but … “It is as plain as Day.” Yet men sadly have no desire to believe the TRUTH of YaHVaH Elohim
Word, blessed be His Sanctified Name?
The truth is, that it has been so very clearly written in the Word,
but the churches for some reason during the past two thousand years bothered to
take any notice of 1. Acts Chapter 8. 2. Simon Magnus’ evil ways, being a
pagan “sorcerer” pretending to be a believer, then desiring to buy
an apostleship and his wicked and evil religion in Rome.
And finally 3. What the Apostle Shaul
so clearly stated making it all - “as plain
as day!” certainly not a single theologian, priest, pastor or
teacher picked it up for they just went along with the Papal system, for the
truth is; you must not upset the apple cart! It has been said one by one who
did know;
“If you take Peter
out of the Roman picture, you will not only just upset the apple cart brother,
but you will be attacking the whole of Christianity as we know it today!”
Thus the truth is, that it was Shaul - Paul who established a
faithful Ekklesia (fellowship) in Rome, people who came to believe in the one
true YaHVaH Elohim of Israel, and His Only Begotten Son, with the full
understanding of Yochanan - John chapter 1:1-5, that He was, and is the Word,
and that the Word is Elohim! That Yahushua (not Jesus)
had come in the flesh and was temped in all manner like we are, but He was
without spot or blemish and that He gave His life freely, for no man took it,
and that He rose again three days and three nights after He had entered the
tomb! That all who believe and repent in Him and are fully immersed in the Name
of Yahushua are cleansed from all their sins, and then they are to live a life
according to His commandments, as set out clearly in the New Covenant, which
include ALL of the Ten Commandments! HaleluYAH.
Shaul - Paul was a faithful servant in all this, for this is just what
he taught and all the faithful in those days continued to uphold the Seventh
day Sabbath, as well as the Passover remembering the Death and the resurrection
of our beloved Saviour, for the whole Passover story was prophetic and a
picture of Yahushua’s life, death and resurrection! Tragically, later
many would die by the hands of Rome, for the pagan sun worshipping emperor
Constantine would change the law and change the day to a SUNday, being the
pagan day of worship for Mithra the sun god, yet many of the true and faithful
ones in Messiah who continued to uphold Elohim’s law, were killed during
the fourth century!
Thus the blessed Scriptures has proved that the Apostle
Shime’on - Peter could not have “founded” that new and evil
pagan “Roman Church” ten years prior to Shaul the Apostle
statement! Below we again have clear proof that Shime’on
- Peter had never been in Rome!
Where was Shime’on
ben Yochanan all this time?
Well it is quite clear, for in 45 AD, we
find him being cast into prison in Jerusalem;
“It was about this time that King Herod arrested some
who belonged to the Ekklesia, intending to persecute them. He had Ya’akov - James,
the brother of Yochanan - John, put to
death with the sword. When he saw that this pleased the (unfaithful) Judeans,
he proceeded to seize Kepha - Peter also. This happened during the (seven day)
Feast of Unleavened Bread. After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing
him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod
intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. So Kepha - Peter was kept in prison, but the Ecclesia was
earnestly praying to Elohim for him.” Acts 12:1-5.
Thus we see that Herod is still king and
Kepha - Peter is thrown into prison
during the feast of Unleavened Bread, and this would have happened after the
first day, which is a High Sabbath Day. Sadly as we have read Yochanan - John’s brother - Ya’akov
- James had already been put to death,
thus things were very volatile! But the point is, although the Roman Catholic
Church continues to state that Peter
was in Rome, how come he is in Jerusalem?
Some four years later in 49 AD, we find him still in Jerusalem,
but this time attending the Jerusalem Council. In 51 AD, he was in Antioch
in Syria
where he managed to get into different viewpoint with Shaul because he would
not sit or eat with the Gentiles. If he had indeed been to Rome
and was indeed the “Roman
Bishop” as the (Universal)
Catholic Church” claim how come that he would have nothing to do with
Gentiles in 51 AD!
Then we head another fifteen years later, in about 66 AD, when we
find him in the city of Babylon
amongst who? The Hebrews (I Pet. 5:13)
“Salute you in Babylon,
those chosen together with you sends you her greetings and so does my son
Markus - Mark. Greet one another with
a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Messiah.” 1 Shime’on
- Peter 5:13-14.
We need to remember that the apostle Shime’on
- Peter was the Apostle to the Hebrews
and that is why he was in Babylon?
Because history shows that there were as many Hebrews in the Mesopotamian
regions in the time of Yahushua the Messiah as there were in all of Judea.
Therefore it is no wonder that we find Him going to the East to visit his
flock. Perhaps this is the reason why scholars say Shime’on
- Peter writings have sort of an
Aramaic flavour, due to the type of Aramaic spoken in Babylon.
Although he did write everything in Hebrew, as it was against Elohim’s
Law to do otherwise and he knew this, for anything related to Scripture, be it
spoken or written had to be in Hebrew, and it remains so to this very day!
However, when in a foreign land it can be spoken in the local tongue, but if it
is written for a record, it must be in Hebrew. For example, a Jewish marriage
certificate is and must be always be in Hebrew, as my own marriage certificate
was!
However, you will find that the Roman Catholic records will tell you
that the Apostle Peter
who became the first Bishop of Rome was the first to arrive in Rome,
whereas the Word clearly proves otherwise and it also proves that he was far
away in the Middle East. The evidence is
abundant and conclusive. By paying attention to Elohim’s own words, thus
no one need be deceived, for the Apostle Shime’on ben Yochanan - Peter was NEVER a Bishop of Rome!
Have you realised that I have stopped calling our Apostle PETER, for who
gave him this name, certainly not our beloved Messiah, for it is not a
Hebrew name of any shape or form! His actual and scriptural name was and will
always be; Simon ben Yochanan, which
translates as, Simon son of John.
That other Simon
- Peter:
However, there was a “PETER”
in Rome around
two thousand years back?
The question must be, “Well who was that and who was the first
“Simon - Peter of Rome,”
and what were his successors called?” The history of ancient religion
reveals the simple truth about the original Peter of Rome. The truth about his
real successors has become quite clear to us, but tragically it has been hidden
to the world.
Here is what history shows us of the original “Peter of Rome,”
and you will find that the truth is rather startling!
The blessed Word of YaHVaH Elohim records that in the earliest ages,
directly after the Flood of Noah,
men began to rebel against the teachings of Elohim. They began to build cities,
found religions and bring in idolatries. Countless pagan temples were erected,
and we all know about that evil Tower of Babel in what became the place
that became known as the land of Babylon.
All of these things started within the first two hundred years after the Great
Flood.
Who Were the Pagan Gods Known as “Peters – Patres”:
Surprising as it may sound, it is a well-known fact among students
of ancient religion, that the chief pagan gods worshipped in the early
civilizations were generally known by the name “Peter or Patres”
It is also known that the priests of those heathen gods were also called
“Peters or Patres” That same name be it in one form
or another, was even applied to the pagan temples consecrated to those gods.
At this point, I need to add the Apostle Shime’on ben Yochanan
should in reality never be known as Peter, for it is as you will have guessed a
pagan name that was given to him, by guess who? The pagan church of Rome,
for he became their “Patres.” Thus from here on it will be Shime’on
- Kepha, which means the Rock in Greek.
Note what Bryant
said in his work “Ancient Mythology”:
“Not only the gods, but the Hierophantae
[special priests], in most temples; and those priests in particular, who were
occupied in the celebration of mysteries, were styled Patres.” (Ancient
Mythology vol. 1, p. 354).
We should understand that this is significant for the word
“Patre” is the same as “Pator” or “Peter” in meaning and pronunciation. Bryant continues;
“Patre was undoubtedly a religious term
… the same as Pator and Patora.” (p. 354).
Thus the ancient pagan gods had their priests who were their
ministers and their sacred sanctuaries, their temples and they were all called
Pators or Peters (either spelling is acceptable
since vowels are fluid in all languages, especially in the Semitic languages).
The Meaning of the Pagan Name Peter:
Now we will look into the meaning of the word Patres, Pator, Patar,
Pothar or Peter what it really meant
to the ancients? Surprisingly enough, the word is found in the Word. When Moshe
wrote about the Egyptian “magicians,” he clearly states that they
would “Peter” or “Patar” - “interpret,” for
these pagan “magicians” were the interpreters of the ancient
Egyptian mysteries and thus they were called their Patres!
“In the morning his mind was troubled,
so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt.
Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret (pothar) them for
him.” Bereshis - Genesis 41:8.
Please note that in Bereshis - Genesis 41:8, in his Hebrew Lexicon
Davidson shows that the consonantal word P-T-R, “patar” or
“peter” signifies “to interpret” or
“interpretation” (p. 638; of Brown, Driver, Briggs, p. 837; and in
Gesenius, p. 877 and p. 843). Bryant
points out that “the term always related to oracle interpretation”
(p. 308). The pagan priests of the mystery religions were called Pators or Peters. They had the power to interpret the heathen
mysteries.
Bunson in his Hieroglyph, page 545, makes this even clearer where he
shows that the Egyptians, as the Word also indicates called their
“interpreters” or priests: Petr, that is Peter.
The term Peter was also one
of the earliest names for the pagan gods. It lasted as late as Greek and Roman times. But by that time the term also took on a
widespread secular meaning. It came generally to mean “father” or
“parent.” But this was not its primary meaning at all. Bryant continues;
"The word Pater, when used in the
religious addresses of the Greeks and Romans, meant not, as is supposed, a
father or parent; but related to the divine influence of the Deity, called by
the people of the East, Pator.” (Ibid., p. 353).
In many ancient religions the father was the chief priest of the
family. That is the reason the head of the family became known as
“Pator” or "Father." The father, because of his priestly
position, became known as the “Archpator,” or, as it is now
commonly rendered, “Patriarch.” This is how the term Pator came to
signify, in a secular sense, “a father.” But originally, it always
meant, “interpreter” especially one of the mystery pagan religions!
Chief Pagan Gods Called Paters - Peters:
We have clear evidence showing that the ancient Romans called their
chief gods Peters the divine interpreters. The early
Roman writer Lucilius, mentions Neptune, Liber,
Saturn, Mars, Janus and Quirnus all of them were
Paters. (The famed Lucilii Fragments have the details of this.) He did not mean
they were “father-gods.” He meant they were gods of the Pater
rank, the chief of gods.
If you will check you will find that Lucilius does not exhaust the
list, in fact, he leaves out Jupiter, the “Father” of the Roman gods. But it was unnecessary to mention him as
a “Peter god.” Due to his
extreme high standing, the title Peter
was actually incorporated as a part of his name, for he was named Ju-Piter,
which was pronounces as Ju-Peter!
In his well known work on the antiquities of Greece, Gladstone,
shows that Jupiter and the Greek god Zeus were one and the same, Ju-Pater
was the Roman way of saying Zeus-Pater, the chief god of the
Greeks (from, Homer and the Homeric Age, vol. I, p. 287), Pater - Peter was the name that came to signify a high rank
among the gods and among their priests.
And as it was this Simon
(the so-called Patre - Peter) Magnus
who bewitched the people of Rome with his false occult
miracles and set up his new religion.
Simon Magnus commences His UNIVERSAL Church:
History comes alive with the startling story of how Shime’on
- Simon Magnus, who obviously is the false prophet
that established his own universal church in the city of Rome!
However, the truth is that Simon Magnus
had been a Babylonian priest for he had been a part of the Babylonian community
which lived in the land of Samaria,
just north of Israel
ever since the Ten Tribes had been carried away captive by the Assyrians.
Although as we know that a great deal of the Ten Tribes had already returned
and were living in Judea as is clearly proved in the Tanach, Old Covenant and
the Brit Chadashah, the New Covenant! Also read the study online - Who is Israel - In this study the question will be posed, “Are the
Ten Tribes of Israel
lost?” Be assured that you will find the Scriptural answer to that
question and you will find that it is fascinating indeed!
Blessed be His Holy Name, YaHVaH Elohim tells us that these Samaritans,
as they are called, were claiming to be the “true people of Elohim”
However, whilst saying this, they were practicing pagan rituals that came
directly from Babylon as stated in 2 Melachim – 2 Kings 17:41;
“However every nation continued to make
gods of its own, and put them in the shrines on the high places which the
Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities where they dwelt … To
this day they continue practicing the former rituals … So these nations
feared YHVH, yet served their carved images; also their children and their
children's children have continued doing as their fathers did, even to this
day.” 2 Melachim
– 2 Kings 17:2, 34, 41.
This was the religious world that Simon Magnus
was born into, and in due course it was where he commenced his own ministry and
he became known as “someone great” and it was finally
proclaimed the he who had the “Great Power” of the
“Divine” - even meaning being Elohim Himself!
“A man named Simon
had practiced
sorcery in the city and (he) amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,
and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed,
‘This man is the Divine power known as the
Great Power.” Acts 8:9-10.
He so swayed the whole of the Samaritan nation in such a way that
they all heeded to him and they did for a very long time (Verses 9-11). But
suddenly Simon saw something brand
new, being things that he was unable to do, heal the sick and raise the dead in
the Name of Yahushua when Ya’akov was
ministering in Samaria.
Simon felt that this new religion
could have great potential for his future as it had a Messiah and he decided to
become a pseudo believer and was immersed – baptised. Then when Shime’on - Kepha came to Samaria
he took his opportunity and he sought to buy an apostleship. Obviously Shime’on - Kepha was astonished at this sinful request
and rebuked him sternly;
“Shime’on
- Kepha answered: ‘May your money perish with you, because you thought
you could buy the gift of Elohim with money! You have no part or share in this
ministry, because your heart is not right before Elohim. Repent of this
wickedness.’” Acts 8:20-22.
Having felt that he was so brutally rejected by Shime’on -
Kepha the Saviour’s Apostle, Simon began to fashion his own new version
of a “messiah based” religion one of which that he would become the
head of and it would be designed to completely overthrow those who were
teaching the true faith of Elohim and the Gospel of Yahushua THE Messiah!.
Simon Magnus’ idea was to blend together a combination of
prime Babylonian, and Greek with Roman teachings with some of the teachings
regarding Judean Messiah, but he had to make some dramatic changes, especially
the most blessed Name of our Saviour and in due course when the Gospels came
into being, and they were in Hebrew, the order from the Papacy was that they
had to be translated into Greek. This way the Messiah’s Name could be
easily altered to “Iesous” (Jesus)
instead of the true translation as it is in the Septuagint. We need to look into this question
first!
The Name of our Blessed Redeemer!
The first question you may ask is this
… “How do I know that “Iesous” Jesus
is not the true name of Christ?”
Beloved that is very simple to answer
for all we have to do is to look at another well-known person in the blessed
Scriptures and that is Moshe’s (Moses)
successor Joshua. We should look at
how Joshua’s name was written in
the original rabbinic Greek translations and again in later changed version of
the Septuagint which was done to fit in with the First Bishop - Pope Simon’s faith
and instructions!
The first translation of the Tanach -
Hebrew for Old Covenant, was compiled by seventy rabbinic scholars around the
third century B.C., into Greek, for it was a time when Israel
was under what could be called a tragic Hellenic influence! In this version Joshua’s name as we know him today, was written
in the Greek as “Giacousoua.”
When this orthodox Hebrew came to know
his Lord and Saviour through what can only be called a miracle in 1977, and the
Father instructed this Hebrew new believer to only study His Word in the Hebrew
for the next seven years and also in Greek. I had no idea how I would read the
Brit Chadashah, New Covenant in Greek, but, blessed be He, a wonderful and
faithful Greek suddenly came on the scene about five years later and this
wonderful brother who has been in ministry with me ever since 1982 and has he
travelled the world sharing the blessed Word he has been a great assistance with
the Greek! Thus I discovered that Greek is an interesting language! But the
point is that I have been completely protected from church theology and
everything I know comes from His precious Word alone!
It is most interesting to note that
there are eight Greek letter combinations that are known as “dipthongs” one of these is ou -
if a Greek font is not available to you these are
the letters “Omicron” and “Upilson” and look much like (ov). However, they all end up sounding much like a
single sound, or letter. “Gia” is pronounced much
like the Dutch “Ja.” Thus it sounds much like the
blessed Name YAH, as in HalleluYAH.
Thus, having read the aforementioned,
we need to realise that our beloved Saviour and Joshua
had the very same name and we would really write our Saviours Name in the
original Greek as it was done in the first Greek translation of the rabbinic
Septuagint as Giacousoua - “Giahousua!” When we transliterate the
name it will look just like this; “Ja’hou’soua”
and should be pronounced as Yaho’shua.
The question begs, when we look up the
later editions of the Septuagint which was changed by, guess who? The Roman church much later, how come that suddenly
“Giahousua” being Joshua’s name in the new translation was
suddenly changed to the pagan name “Iesous?” And the Joshua is mentioned three times in the Brit
Chadashah, the New Covenant. However, we still know him by a name that sound
very much the same as the original, Joshua
– Yah’shua!
But tragically, the pagan church did
the same with the most beloved Name of our Saviour Yahushua, for they changed
it to the pagan name “Iesous” as well!
But we all should ask this question;
“Why was the person from the time of Moshe - Moses
given a name that in reality sounds almost like the original.” And
Yahushua, who we now know today as Joshua,
somehow still sounds very similar to the original, yet in the Greek he is known
as “Iesous.”
The argument has been given over the
centuries that they had to call our Saviour, who became known as the “Christ” by another name because there was no “Y”
in Greek so it became Jesus? Hello,
why was He not given the Name of Yahushua or Joshua,
is that simple enough? But, of course there is something far more behind all
this, for why name the Old Covenant Yahushua Joshua,
and the New Covenant Yahushua Jesus? Well beloved it was Satan’s
work at hand and he works well in the church of Rome and amongst her harlot
daughters!
We may think, well they may not have
known better, O yes they did, and the church has known the real and true name
of our Saviour from the beginning to this day! But your ministers will not tell
you the truth why His name was changed to something totally foreign! And sadly
the lowly ministers and pastors are not educated enough and simply know no
better, and yet when they hear the truth they will just reject it for it is not
their churches’ doctrine, as they are so imprisoned to their doctrine.
All you have to do is look at Strongs
Concordance and the truth unfolds, for there you will see that it very clearly
states that both Joshua and our Messiah’s real names are what I am
telling you have told you, it is Yahushua, although as the Strongs
author’s are not Hebrew scholars, they do tend to use a “J”
and that is OK, but it still proves the point that there has been a Satanic conspiracy
and that sadly commenced in Samaria with that Babylonian priest and a Satanic
sorcerer by the name of Simon Magnus!
Let me now turn to
Strongs!
Joshua in the Tanach – Old Covenant - Strongs Concordance:
OT:3091: Yehowshua
(yeh-ho-shoo'-ah); or Yehowshu’a
(yeh-ho-shoo'-ah); from OT:3068 and OT:3467; Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua),
the Jewish leader: -Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua.
Compare OT:1954, OT:3442.
Joshua in the Brit Chadashah – New Covenant - Strongs Concordance:
“…
the son of Joshua , the son of
Eleazar.” Luke 3:29. See also
Acts 7:45 & Heb 4:8
NT:2424 Iesous
(ee-ay-sooce'); of Hebrew origin (untrue the word is
of Greek origin) [OT:3091]; Jesus
(i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites:
Thus, we have clearly established that
the Name of our Saviour was never a Greek name, which is sadly of a pagan base,
but He has a Hebrew Name as stated so clearly in Strongs and as is confirmed by
countless scholars, and many other ministers, but now they feel it is too late
to change for it has been taught for far too long and it has become a
“tradition.” Others will claim that it is only a translation; well
I am sorry the truth is you cannot translate a name and should never try to do
so! Of course we must translate words for we would never understand the
blessed Word if we did not translate one language into another, but a name is a
name!
But tragically, somehow, the pagan Roman based church could not use a Hebrew name for
their “Christ”, they did not want to
keep the Name that “Elohim exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him
the Name that is above every name, that at the Name of Yahushua every knee
should bow.” Phil 2:9-10. And
instead the Roman church belittled He who is the true Messiah and Rome gave Him
the name of “Iesous” – “Jesus,” which is NOT His
Name, yet did our loving Saviour so clearly said “ASK IT IN MY NAME
AND IT SHALL BE DONE.” Thus, Yahushua has long been asking “Why
are they putting another’s name in My Scriptures?”
Thus beloved, apart from those who are
part of His “Little Flock” Yahushua
cannot recognise those who uses the name of Jesus!
However, but let me add this.
There are many
wonderful and good souls, who simply do know not better and have been led
astray by the church traditions and have remained in their fellowships loving
their Saviour. Know therefore that YaHVaH Elohim
does know your heart, however, if you are now reading this, note that He,
through the Holy Spirit is challenging you right now! BUT
- Please Know This: Now that you have read this and
the Scriptures back everything up! You MUST Heed and
Act upon the Word, for
if you do not, then you will be in error and I am sorry to say, although I will
not judge you, but according to His Word, You will stand in His judgement!
The new Universal Church
combined with an Babylonian Basis:
Simon Magnus proclaimed a doctrine in which the faith that he had picked up in Samaria
was strangely and grotesquely mixed up with his many Babylonian myths, as well
as other pagan faiths. Somehow he managed to blend a mysterious style of
worship in consequence of what he called “the widened horizon and the
deepening of religious feeling.” Simon
finally completed his new “church” with a wild blending together
of all these religious beliefs and the aim was a “universal
religion” that would gain universal followers, to be truthful, of Simon the great.
Thus there is no doubt that Simon can be classified among the major
group of so-called “christians” and Simon was the first to call
himself a “Christian” whilst the faithful in Messiah Yahushua, did
not have an official name at this stage and they simply considered themselves
as followers of the Messiah of Israel, or as Messianic believers!
As Church historian “Harnack”
stated that this “new Christian religion was
decidedly anti-Jewish.” And he also stated that … “They
advance much further in the criticism of the Old Covenant and perceived the
impossibility of saving it [that is, the Old Covenant] for the Christian
UNIVERSAL RELIGION. They rather connected this [universal] religion with the
cultish-wisdom of BABYLON
and SYRIA"
(Vol. 1, p. 246).
With this background, we can understand why Shime’on
- Kepha so strongly rebuked this evil Simon
for his Babylonian ideas. Shime’on prophesied
that this Simon
Magnus was the man who would be;
“For I see that you are in the gall of
bitterness, and in the bondage of iniquity.” Acts 8:23.
Simon new universal church would indeed commence a worldwide attack
with the help of his lord HaSatan, the Satan of the world, and he was against the True Ekklesia of Yahushua! Simon’s attitude was indeed corrupt in the
extreme and he gained hordes of followers, for he was indeed a sorcerer and
with the aid of Satan he was in a way just like
countless TV evangelists do this very day! The Word does tell us that Simon the Samaritan had been working through demons.
But he called himself a "Christian."
Dr. McGiffert, speaking of Simon Magnus,
says;
"His effort to rival and surpass Jesus very likely began after his contact with the Christians
that Luke records. His religious
system was apparently a SYNCRETISM of Jewish and Oriental elements"
(Hasting’s Dictionary of the Apostolic Church, Vol. 2, p. 497).
How did Simon Magnus
Blend Paganism With his newly
formed Christianity & Christ?
Now let us take a closer look how this evil man, Simon Magnus
managed to startle the Roman world with his plan to bring in one universal
religion under the guise of and new religion called “Christianity”
a named that he coined!
“And in all that I have said to you,
beware and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from
your mouth.” Shemos - Exodus 23:13.
It is well known that Simon Magnus
was the person who created the term, we know today as “Christian” and “Christ.”
We need to remember that the faithful in Messiah Yahushua did not have any
official name at that time, for they simply considered themselves as followers,
or the faithful in the Messiah of Israel, or as Messianic believers (using our
modern terminology), regardless if they had come out of the Hebraic or Gentile
communities, but we are all ONE in Messiah! The question begs, how did Simon
come up with his terminology – “Christ”
and “Christian/s?” I am sorry, but the answer is
shocking! Of course in Hebrew Yahushua is HaMashiach or the Messiah, but Simon decided to head in
a new direction, for Romans would not like to be under those they considered to
be an enslaved people / nation as Judah was conquered by Rome, etc!
Debated Word: Christ
– Christos, the basis for Christian:
Today, the sad fact is that so many use the combined terminology of
“Jesus Christ” thinking that they are referring to he who is
the most wonderful man that has ever lived, being He who, as Yochanan - John
said;
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. He was with
Elohim in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing
was made that has been made.” Yochanan - John
1:1-3.
Thus we are speaking of He who is not just the Word, but also was, is
and always will be Elohim! This is our Saviour who came to earth as a man and
taught the Word then He gave His life as the Passover Lamb in order that all
who believe and repent and follow His ways and commandments will have life
eternal in the “Kingdom of Elohim.”
“Blessed
are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Mattityahu - Matthew 5:5.
But what of that word “Christ”?
At first the Greek faithful used the word “Messias” being a
transliteration as found in the original Gospels, which were of course written
in Hebrew – “Mashiach,” and we have absolute proof
of this in another study. But then thanks to Simon Magnus
the first Bishop of Rome it became “Christos,”
being is a newly created word by him. The Hebrew as we may know is; “Ha
Mashiach” that means “the Anointed” or “the
Messiah.” However, where did the word “Christos”
came from? I am afraid you may be terribly shocked to learn about its origin!
There is an ancient Christian inscription in existence that goes
back to October 1, 318 A.D. and it states: “The Lord and Saviour Jesus
the Good.” Now interestingly it is the word “Good” that is in
question here and very soon you will understand why.
When it came to presenting details, such as names and titles of a
new Roman and Greek faith it would be
far more acceptable to the Greek and Roman
pagans who were worshiping their many deities, to entice them into a new faith
using a name that they were familiar with. Therefore, rather than retaining the
original Hebrew Mashiach or Messias it was decided to use the name of the pagan
god’s named “Chreston” - “Chrestos.” Now why
should that not surprise us?
According to the Interpreter’s “Dictionary of the
Bible,” the word “Christos”
was easily confused with the common Greek proper name “Chrestos,”
meaning “Good.” According to a French theological dictionary, it is
absolutely beyond doubt that “Christus” and “Chrestus,”
and “Christiani” as well as “Chrestiani” were used
indifferently by the profane and various Christian authors of the first two
centuries A.D. It is known that the word was originally introduced by Simon
(the sorcerer) Magnus who became the Bishop of Rome, the man who commenced this
new faith, being a pagan based, mixed loosely with Messianic details, and he is
the genuine founder of the Church of Rome.
Chrestos was a highly worshipped Egyptian, Greek
and Roman god that had the full name of “Serapis Chrestos”
who soon became known in Rome
as “Christianos.” The word
“Christianos” is a Latinism that the Messianic faithful refused to
use, as they would always use the words - “Messias”,
“Messiah” or “Mashiach” (meaning the Anointed) as we do
to this day! As the new words came into the church of Rome and were introduced by this evil man, who was
clearly spoken about in the Book of Acts, means that the two word’s known
today as “Christian” and our beloved Messiah and Saviour as a pagan
god by the name of “Christ,” both sadly originating from a pagan
origin as shown.
According to the “Real-encyclopaedia,” the inscription
“Chrestos is to be seen on a Mithras relief
in the Vatican,”
which does provides us with further proof that it was Simon Magnus
who introduced it, for it is officially recorded that Simon
was the person who coined the word “Christian.”
According to ‘Christianity and Mythology,” Osiris the sun-deity
of Egypt
was also revered by the name, “Chrestos!” However, there is
just one more interesting fact, “Chrestos” was also known as
“the judge of Hades or the lower world.” Thus in the ancient
day’s he was the sun, and later he became the judge of Hades, the grave!
How tragic a world we are looking at!
Le us look at a few passages from the blessed Word of YaHVaH Elohim,
blessed be His Sanctified Name!
“And
in all that I have said to you, beware and make no mention of the name of other
gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.” Shemos - Exodus 23:13.
“You
shall not take the Name of YHVH your Elohim in vain, for YHVH will not hold him
guiltless who takes His Name in vain.” Shemos – Exodus 20:7
“Little
children,” urges Yochanan - John,
“keep yourselves from idols” 1 Yochanan - 1 John
5:21.
“Whoever
blasphemes the Name of YHVH shall surely be put to death.” Vayikra -
Leviticus 24:16.
Thus “christians” and those in
the world, all I can say is … BEWARE!
To read all the material that the writers of the second to the
fourth centuries wrote about this satanic man, Simon Magnus,
as well as all of his followers would literally take countless pages, but I
will try and keep it as condensed as possible.
He has been called by many as; “The father of HERESY”
and apart from the Scriptures, the amount of literature devoted to him as well
as his activities, shows he really lived up to this title, for he was indeed
the ultimate heretic who was the founder of today’s modern
“christianity” that worships “Iesous – Jesus”!
In order to ensure that you have a full and true picture of this
person, whom you have already read about in the book of Acts, I will provide a
good number or reliable authorities who were either eyewitnesses of many of the
things mentioned, and they were writing to others who were likewise
eyewitnesses, or they were well known and highly respected historians. Much of
the testimony to be mentioned is conclusive and it simply cannot be set aside!
With this evidence of Simon’s activities after his rejection
by Shime’on ben Yochanan - Kepha, we will clearly be able to see why
Lukas - Luke thought it most important to tell the real condition of this man, proving
that he was in actuality NEVER an Apostle of Yahushua our blessed Redeemer.
In this regard, notice the comment of Hasting’s Dictionary of
the Apostolic Church, Vol.
2, p. 496;
“But it need NOT be supposed that when Simon broke with the Christians HE RENOUNCED ALL HE
HAD LEARNED. It is more probable that he carried some of the Christian ideas
with him, and that he wove these into a system of his own. This system did
contain some of the later germs of Gnosticism. Thus he became a leader of a
retro-grade sect, perhaps nominally Christian, and certainly using some of the
Christian terminology but in reality anti-Christian and exalting Simon himself to the central position which
Christianity was giving to Jesus Christ.”
Please note: The above and following are
leading Scriptural commentators as well as using “Bible Dictionaries and
Encyclopaedias all of which will use terms that are typically “Christian” and other Christological
terminologies. However, as the true believers in Messiah are NEVER called by
the term “Christian,” but prefer the “faithful” or what
Yahushua said the “Little Flock,” it should be noted that whenever
the word “church” is used, “ecclesia” or
“fellowship" should be assumed! When “Jesus
Christ” is used we use of course; “Yahushua the
Messiah” blessed be His Sanctified Name!
What Simon Magnus did was to bring a mixture of Babylonian Egyptian,
Greek and Roman myths and these were all combines with the Hebraic religious
beliefs into a form of what he called by a name that he newly created, which he
took from two ancient names, being “Chreston” and
“Chrestos,” which he turned into “Christianity” in order
to bring about what he called the “UNIVERSAL (Catholic) Roman
church!”
The amalgam of paganism and the faith of Messiah which was
characteristic of Gnosticism, which was especially obvious in the Simonian
system, is readily explicable in the teaching of Simon Magnus, who as we have
read in Acts, it was brought into intimate contact with the teaching about our
beloved Saviour, but without Simon ever having become a true and genuine
follower.
In Schaff’s History of the church there is another reference
to Simon Magnus, for there he says;
“The author, or first representative of
this baptized HEATHENISM, according to the uniform testimony of Christian
antiquity, is Simon Magnus, who unquestionably adulterated Christianity with
pagan ideas and practices, and gave himself out, in a pantheistic style for an
emanation of God” (Apostolic Christianity, ol. 2, p. 566).
Simon only
used his new name of Christianity to bring about his own desired ends. The
Dictionary of Religion and Ethics says that Simon
was;
“… a false Messiah, who practiced
magical arts and subsequently attempted by the aid and with the sanction of
Christianity, to set up a rival UNIVERSAL [Catholic] RELIGION” (Vol. 11,
p. 514).
Again, what does history tell us about Simon’s
doctrines – what it consisted of primarily?
“Two independent traditions profess to
preserve the teaching of Simon, the
one betraying the influence of Alexandrian allegory, the other of Syrian and
Babylonian religion.” Dictionary of Religion and Ethics, Vol. 11, p.
516).
It is no wonder that Lukas
- Luke hits hard at the infamy of Simon, for at first Simon
claimed to be a believer in Messiah Yahushua, even desired to be an
Apostle and yet he was still preaching Babylonian paganism. Therefore, this
satanically inspired man was teaching paganism by using the Messiah of Israel,
even though he would make sure that His name would be changed to Iesous! Thus,
there is no doubt whatsoever that this Simon
is one of the most evil man that lived since the day of our beloved Saviour,
for he has done more to destroy lives than any other! How? Tragically, Simon Magnus
is the true founder of what has become “Christianity” as we know it
today, even though there have been changes, but his trinity of changes still
remain!
1… The creation of the word “Christian”
and “Christ” created our of the pagan
god “Chrestos” goes hand in hand!
2… The change of the most Sanctified Hebrew Name of
“Yahushua” into a Greek pagan name “Iesous” –
“Sous” and “Sus” is directly related to the name of the
Greek god “Zeus!” Just look up the
meaning of the various Greek names and places such as; Pamassas, Dioysus,
Odysseus, Ieusus, Pegasus, Ephesus, Tarsus,
etc., and then in the New Covenant they even dared to change the name of
Eliyahu (Elijah) to “Eliseus” in Lukas – Luke 4:27, and
“Eliseus” translates as follows; “my mighty one is
Zeus.” In the same way do all the others including Iesous - Jesus
relates directly to the pagan god Zeus! It is the same with all names
and words ending with sous, sus or seus. It is simply tragic!
3… If you worship on the day of Mithra, being the sun goddess,
today known as SunDAY! All
“Christians were ordered by force, or be killed to worship on this day,
for only on this day was it right to come together! At that time there was no
such a thing as “communion” or what in many churches is now called
“breaking of bread” as yet, for that did not come into being into
the church until the seventh century! For interest, the Middle Eastern and
Mediterranean term “Breaking Bread” simply means “to dine,”
or “to eat together.” This term is used to this very day!
“Evidently the Simonian heresy always
had a “Christian” tinge. This made it more dangerous to Christians
than a Gnostic which did not affect any Christian influence. Luke therefore would be anxious to disclose the true
circumstances that accounted for the origin of the sect, circumstances highly
discreditable to Simon.”
Hasting’s Bible Dictionary, p. 498).
The reason Lukas - Luke recorded his encounter with Simon had far-reaching effects. As Hasting’s
explains, the important reason was that of “Luke’s
well-known plan of describing THE FIRST MEETING between Christianity and rival
systems” (Ibid., p. 498).
Lukas - Luke gives in detail the principal character who
established the so-called “Christian” counterpart of the
“Truth” in the Apostles days. It is for this reason the Apostles
mention in their letters to the Ecclesia’s on many occasions about the
false system as being already in existence, but fail to describe its origin.
The truth is, they didn’t have to. That had already clearly been
announced by Luke earlier and by Shime’on - Peter!
The Death of Simon Magnus:
Amazingly the records in regard to Simon’s death is amazingly
varied and stories attempt to incorporate a certain amount of fiction from
Greek and Egyptian myths to enhance interest to those who would read about his
death about this so-called great man of faith, who was the first Bishop of
Rome. It was said that he was crucified upside down, but then again they said
that also about the so-called “St Peter” and we now know that all that
was a fabrication, and based on Simon
(Peter) Magnus, who pretended to be
our Saviours apostle.
However, the truth about his death in reality is far simpler than
all the stories on record, for if we go back to the original records, we
discover that they state that he simply died at a good age and that he was
buried in Rome after a long period of mourning by his followers and that there
was a huge deification in the church. Although, it is not sure where Simon,
alias Simon - Pater or Simon- Jupiter was buried, but it is said that the place
of burial for all prophets and holy men of the Romans was in the sacred
cemetery on Vatican Hill and that much was for certain, thus his remains would
be directly under St Peters Basilica, the perfect pagan and Babylonian Temple!
And therefore Simon (Peter) Magnus to this day has a most honoured
place inside the Vatican, for there is a plaque located high up on the Eastern
wall, under a section that is entitled; “Episodes in the Life of St
Peter” and there is a marble carved plaque that depicts men taking
down “Simon Magnus” who had been hung upside down from a T
shaped cross and he is seen still upside down. Which was a lie of course, but
how very Catholic is that, for they would not know what a simple truth is! See
the image below.

This
plaque is entitled strangely enough “Simon Magnus’
fall”
“Episodes
in the Life of St Peter” - Is there something terribly wrong here?

Please Note what Werner
Keller in his “The Bible as History”
says about the burial of the Simon
Pater/Jupiter. We also need to
note that Werner Keller
is a devout Roman Catholic and he had always believed that the Apostle Peter was buried
in Rome.
However, the Word of YHVH Elohim shows nothing of the sort and as I have stated
and will prove again, Shime’on (Peter) the Apostle of Yahushua never set a foot in Rome!
Now, let us read Werner Keller’s
comment:
“On the night of his death on the
cross Peter’s followers buried his body. As in the case of Jesus
on the hill of Calvary it was wrapped in linen and secretly taken to a pagan
burial ground on the Via Cornelia, behind the stone structure of the arena.
This pagan cemetery lay on a knoll
called Vaticanus: The Latin word ‘Vatis’ means a
‘prophet’ or ‘soothsayer’. In days gone by there had
been an Etruscan oracle on this spot" (p. 368).
What a powerful
admission!
Keller ought to have
had better sense to know that this Simon
Pater buried in this cemetery, of all places, could
never have been the Apostle Shime’on.
In the first place, The Apostle was a Hebrew, a Jew, and they had to be buried
in a Hebrew cemetery or at least one that was not a pagan one. And even if by
chance a Jew would be buried in a Roman cemetery, which is unlikely that a Jew,
especially one who attacked the Roman religion as a true Apostle of Yahushua
would, he certainly would never have been allowed into the most holy of all
Roman pagan cemeteries! For these cemeteries was reserved for their finest
prophets, soothsayers and the great ones of pagan Rome.
It would be as sensible to say that Hitler
could find a place of burial in Westminster Abbey or have a memorial service
with a persecuted German Jewish family gathering at the great Synagogue and be
buried in the place of honour in the Jewish cemetery, no that would be too
outrageous. To awful even to think about! And can you imagine the true
believers even entering and searching a pagan cemetery for their greatly
beloved Apostle of Yahushua the Messiah? No they could not even walk in!
Obviously this true Apostle was never there for he was the complete and perfect
enemy of paganism!
This place, of all places, could not be the place of
the Yahushua’s Apostle burial, even if he had ever been in Rome.
But, there is really no better place to bury Simon Magnus.
He had been, and was being, honoured as a god not only by the people of Rome,
but even by the Emperor and the Senate. And remember they even set up a
statue in his honour!
The Roman Catholic Church without doubt did have a
person by the name of Simon Peter, but it was not our beloved Apostle
Shime’on (Peter) who was the Apostle to the Judeans/Jews!
A message from Eusebius:
“Simon
was the author of all heresy. From his time down to the present those who have
followed his heresy have feigned the sober philosophy of the Christians, which
is celebrated among all on account of its purity of life. But they nevertheless
have embraced again the superstitions of idols, which they seemed
(ostentatiously) to have renounced; and they fall down before pictures and
images of Simon himself and of the above-mentioned Helena who was with him,
that is, the images of Jupiter and Minerva, the Catholics do exactly this
today; and they venture to worship them with incense and sacrifices and
libations” (Eccl. Hist. II, 13, 6).
What clear and revealing statements they are! Eusebius is not
talking about what he considers distinct heretics outside the Catholic Church.
He is talking about leadership of that church which was continually adding more
and more heresies on a large scale. He attributes these evils to the
“Christians” who followed Simon Magnus.
They were so active in his day inside the church as to give him grave concern
and that continues to this day and sadly it is in part spread into every church
worldwide, for we need to remember that it was Simon Magnus who created the
word “christian” that came directly from the pagan god
“Chrestos” if you check your Greek lexicon you will find that word,
but somehow it will not give you any detail on THAT word, but it will take you
for some strange reason to an totally different word, WHY? Well I know why, for
how can anyone in the church explain why a pagan name being used for “Christ” and “Christian?”
Satan knows, for he used his chosen man, named Simon Magnus very well as he influenced the entire
church to this very day!
In Conclusion:
Obviously there is so much more than I can write here for frankly I
still have many pages of detail that I am able to give you. Possibly at a
latter date, but, for now I believe that I have provided enough to satisfy the
truth of the matter of two very important facts!
Fact One: Is that the
Apostle to the circumcised (the Jews/Hebrews) Shime’on
- Kepha never set a foot in Rome.
How do we know? Because we have already read the Scripture that clearly proved
this fact, for the apostle to the Gentiles, Shaul - Paul of Tarsus, would have
made some sort of mention of him whilst he was in Rome,
and do you really think that His brother in Messiah would just allow him to be
sentenced to death and die without defending him? Of course not! In addition, Lukas - Luke
who is known for his ensuring specific details and naming names, he does not
ever say that Shime’on - Kepha ever visited Rome
either, but Shaul did as we well know!
There were two men who heard Yochanan the Immerser (Baptist) preach
in the Jordan
and saw Yahushua being Immersed, etc. One of them was Andreas
– Andrew the brother of Shime’on ben Yochanan - Kepha.
“The first thing Andreas - Andrew did was to find
his brother Shime’on - Kepha and tell him,
‘We have found the Messiah.’” Yochanan - John 1:41.
Fact Two: We have
learned a great deal about the name, or word “Pator” - “Peter”, etc., thus it is obvious that neither
his family nor Yahushua would ever have given Shime’on
a pagan name or title! Although when Yahushua first met him this is what,
according to the Greek translations is supposed to have occurred;
“Yahushua looked at him and said,
‘You are Shime’on son of Yochanan. You
will be Kepha." Yochanan - John
1:42.
As we come to an end of this important study, which will come as a
shock to many I am sure, I will close with the word that our beloved Saviour
gave us. They are words of warning, for ever since the beginning of the
creation, Satan has been active, first in deceiving the woman and the man in
the garden, then the first murder, followed by great evil, except for a few of
the faithful, and the great flood came.
By now, I pray we know from the Scriptures regarding of the comings
and goings of the Children of Israel, as they were faithful one day, and many
would be unfaithful the next. If you read my studies these issues are well
covered! But sadly nothing has changed for the entire “christian
world” that worships “Jesus - Iesous” that hails out of the
pagan “Roman (Universal) Catholic Church” founded by an evil pagan
Samaritan, a Babylonian priest that was immersed (baptised), but as he could
not buy his apostleship for he was a charlatan and Shime’on - Kepha
denounced him and as he left and he departed for Rome, where seemed to be
welcome, due to his enchantments and his many signs and wonders, all performed
by the power of Satan his closest ally!
Later the Roman Catholic Church named him “Simon Peter”
and claimed that he was the apostle but we all know well that he was not! But
sadly when the New Covenant was translated into Greek, they made countless
errors and certain details were changed by those who had vested interests and
as the translators were instructed by the church’s hierarchy!
Beloved, please beware for all this continues to this day as the lie
is being protected even by the protestant and evangelical churches and then
there are the new modern groups that have started with new theologies that are
full of lies and are based on the “I, Me and Myself,” and based on
wealth, riches, thus gaining more and more money, and obviously most of this
ends up in the pockets of those countless mass produced Media savvy TV
Evangelists who claim to be prophets and healers, etc, but many of whom are the
worlds biggest con artists! Just take a look at their Versace suits, and their
very expensive cars and grand homes, as well as their private Jets, and staying
in grand suites in 5 star hotels, etc! What did our beloved Saviour tell us
about our own needs and riches?
“And do not set your heart on what you
will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all
such things and your Father knows that you need them. But seek His Kingdom, and
these things will be given to you as well. Do not be afraid, little flock, for
your Father has been pleased to give you the Kingdom. Sell your possessions and
give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a
treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no
moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Be
dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like men waiting for
their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when He comes and knocks
they can immediately open the door for Him. It will be good for those servants
whose Master finds them watching when He comes. I tell you the truth, he will
dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and
wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose Master finds them ready,
even if He comes in the second or third watch of the night. But understand
this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he
would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because
the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him." Lukas - Luke
12:29-40.
But Yahushua also takes a very strong stand of “false
prophets” as being “Ferocious
wolves” and “evildoers”;
“Watch out
for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes
from thorn-bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good
fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a
bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is
cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize
them. Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven
(of Elohim – God), but only he who does the will of My Father who is in
heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy
in Your Name, and in Your Name drive out demons and perform many
miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away
from me, you evildoers!’” Mattityahu - Matthew
7:15-23.
Beloved, I ask you to heed the Word as I close: “Prove
all things, and hold fast to that which is good.” 1
Thessalonians 5:21.
“Yahushua said to them; ‘I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never
hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that
you have seen Me and yet do not believe (like the unbelieving church today).
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no
means cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not
to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the
Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but
should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him (YHVH Elohim) who sent Me that everyone who
sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise
him up at the last day." Yochanan - John 6:35-40.
When we are obedient unto Him, we will have the assurance, that
through His grace and love our spiritual lives will be in order! And YaHVaH
Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, will speak to your heart, and I believe
that He is speaking to you even now as you have been reading this study about a
man with an evil past that set up a pagan based church, but now you in spirit
and in truth can take the opportunity to set all things right with the Father
and His beloved Son who came to save you, and I pray that you will make things
right with Him now!
“Behold, your King is coming to you. He
is just and having Salvation … He shall speak peace to the nations. His
dominion shall be from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the
earth” Zecharyah
– Zechariah 9:9 & 10.
Yahushua said …
“I tell you the truth, if you have faith
as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here
to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Mattityahu - Matthew 17:20.
Join THE “Little Flock” in
Yahushua!
Beloved, you also can join or assist in commencing a home group of
the faithful in Yahushua THE Messiah in your area. We will be more than happy to
advise you where to find a group if one is available in your area, and if not,
assist you possibly in commencing one if a male can head it. Remember we are
most respectful of all ladies and treasure them, and they have some of the most
wonderful duties in the ministry, but according to the Word of the Father in
Heaven, a man should be the teacher and lead a “flock!”
Why not join “Meh’at-Tzon”
(Hebrew) or “Mi’kros Poim’neon”
(Greek from Lukas - Luke 12:32) meaning the “Little Flock” of the faithful in Messiah
Yahushua! YaHVaH Elohim
called those in Him - “Amiy”
- pronounced as Ah’mie, which is Hebrew
for “My People” and what can
be better than to be part of a “Little Flock”
and be genuinely a people of YaHVaH Elohim?
What a wonderful opportunity you have today,
to come out of her that is the harlot that was created by one called Simon the
sorcerer, who masqueraded as the one we know as the apostle Kepha - Peter, that in due course became the pagan based
church of the roman empire and it covered the globe, or one of her
daughter’s churches.
But step out in Faith and return to Him who is your Saviour and
Messiah Yahushua - pronounced – Ya-ho-Shoe-a and live
according to the Ten Commandments, and I do Mean ALL the Commandments including
the 4th.one “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” And it is
always good to live according to the principle … “Give us this
day our daily bread” as this ministry
does!
Do not fear “Mi’kros
Poim’neon” - Little Flock,
for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. Sell what you
have and give alms; provide yourselves moneybags which do not grow old, a
treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, nor a
moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also.” Lukas - Luke 12:32-34.
Read the following: “Pope Francis - the Jesuit Pope”
And Shamar - Keep it

Hebrew in the Gospels

is Israel
“Teach me
Your way, O YHVH. I will walk in Your truth.
UNITE MY HEART TO FEAR YOUR NAME!”
Tehillim
– Psalms 86:11
May
YaHVaH
Elohim bless and keep you in the
palm of His hand, in Messiah Yahushua’s loving Name!!

Yahushua
said; “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and
I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets: They will
all be taught by Elohim. Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from Him
comes to Me. No one has seen the Father except the One who is from Elohim; only
He has seen the Father. I tell you the truth he who believes has everlasting
life.” Yochanan (John)
6:43-48.
