Lord of the Sabbath-Mark Ch 2:27-28

In the world of scriptural scholars, a large debate has been present for some time in respect of the calendar. Divisiveness has ensued, and camps have developed over preferences in reckoning the months, the sabbath, and the feasts. One such calendar is known as the Tsadoq Calendar. One idea that has been promoted by many scholars is that the books of Jubilees and Enoch (Cephers Yovheliym and Chanoch) promote the Tsadoq (solar algorithm based 364 day calendar) Calendar. We will discover tonight that this is not the case at all. Instead we will discover Chanoch's description of the solar months and "gates" which are its cycles based on the locations of its rising and setting. Many of you who have studied astrology will quickly recognize this as the same methodology for determining astrological "signs", each such sign being marked by the location of the rising of the sun in correlation with the location of the particular constellations in the skies, the names of which we so readily recognize. What we didn't know is how the Zodiac would come to appear in churches around the world, and for that matter, how this study became known as the Zodiac. Join us tonight for a discussion on this calendar. All citations are taken from the Cepher Millennium Edition. You can obtain your own written copy by visiting us at cepher.net.

The Sabbath is for the believers in the Messiah. He practiced it, and you should too. What do you need to know to add this wonderful day to your schedule? Join us tonight for a scripturally based discussion on this issue.

Join us as we briefly discuss the Sustain Me conference coming up in March, and of course, a robust discussion on the prophetic letter of Albert Pike. Let's talk prophesy.

A new time has arrived; the screw has turned, a new epoch begins, a great reset has begun, and we are about to enter into a time like no other that has ever been seen on earth. Are you prepared? It is written that mens’ hearts will fail from seeing what is coming on the earth. How is your heart? The contemplation of the end times is one which can inspire gloom and doom. For others, it is a time to look up, for our salvation draws near. And we take heart in knowing that this is not the end of the world, but just the end of the age of man. It is written: And Yahuah said, My Ruach shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. Are these days equal to years? Or are they actually Jubilee years? If so, note that we are about to enter into the 121st Jubilee – a marker of the end.There are many things written concerning the events that will culminate at the End of the Age. One of those has to do with the seat of the dragon. We will be taking a look at this tonight. And we will see that something remarkable has been written in the stars. Should the believer look at all at the stars? It is written: And Elohiym said: Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for appointed feasts, and for days, and years:1 15 And let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth: and it was so. Let them be for signs! Let them be for lights!In this presentation, we take a look at the seat of the dragon. What does it tell us (if anything). Join us for a lively discussion

One sign of the Military-Industrial-Complexification of our society is the ever-increasing use of acronyms. An acronym is an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a single word (e.g. ASCII, NASA ). In our world today, abbreviations and acronyms have become necessary in chat and SMS communication, primarily because such communication has been developed by the MIC for use by consumers. But scripture also gives us a clue that acronyms would foretell of an end-times scenario. Join us tonight for this discussion.

As the events of the world unfold around us, many of the students of scripture seek to compare our times with the end times predicted in verse. Today we take a look at a new timeline and discuss the expectation of the coming of the two witnesses.

As we close in on the end of the Gregorian year, it is time to take a look back at the topics covered here this year.

The rules: thou shall defer to those who made the rules before. Q: Who were they? A: Doesn't matter. This is what they did; this is what we do. Q: But weren't the guys who made these rules Messiah deniers? A: Hadn't considered that, and don't intend to consider it now. Tradition is the most important thing. Q: But what if they were wrong? A: Huh?So now we ask the question: What in the world did those guys at Cepher do?

But how is the Messiah without the prophecies of the Old Testament? And there was given to me a reed like a rod; and the messenger stood, saying: Rise, and measure the Temple of El’ayim, and the altar, and those who worship therein. 2 But the court, which is outside the Temple leave out, and do not measure it; for it is given to the other nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months. Chazon (Revelation) 11:1-2.Let's take a look.

There are often many questions concerning the translation of scriptures into the English language. We all know the joke concerning the KJV: "If it was good enough for Paul, it's good enough for me!" Of course, the KJV-AV (King James Version - Authorized Version) was published in A.D. 1611, and Pa'al likely died around A.D. 64, almost 1600 years earlier, and about 1500 years before the English language began to codify in its modern form. But when the KJV was created, it was subject to restrictions - restrictions which would hold it to a "vulgar" use of the English language. This approach, and the clinging to tradition instead of scholarship has created a widely accepted text that has contradictions so enormous as to render its claims fatally flawed. Some of the vulgar errors so casually embraced by James VI of Scotland may even be violative of the commands of scripture itself.Here, we discuss these difficulties and their solutions.

Streamed live on Nov 21, 2024Scott Bennett passed away today. Here are a few notes concerning our friendship.

Chimera - the tissues of diverse genetic constitutions.A new commentary today.

In the religious world, many people believe that the angels were created before mankind, and then among them were those who fell. Genesis 6:4 tells us a curious narrative concerning fallen ones, giants and the sons of Elohiym who came into the daughters of Adam. This is an antediluvian narrative that proceeds Noach's flood and is further informed by the discussions of both Jude and Peter in the New Testament.However, a closer look is warranted compared to our classic understanding. Further, a greater mystery appears in the language of the New Testament.Let's take a very close look at one of the great mysteries found in the very beginning of scripture.

The modern Christian church has an inclination to preach Paul, Paul, and more Paul. The average Christian - should they have any scripture committed to memory - typically recite the verses of Pa'al. Of course, there are exceptions, such as John 3:16, but almost everything else comes from the pen of Paul. But did Paul really say those things?One of the great problems facing those who have wakened to the truth of what is actually written in scripture is that often they experience a "popping" of the Paul bubble - particularly if you are a person whose response in all debates over scripture typically begins with "but Paul says . . ."The over-exultation of Paul (Paulos in the Greek) has caused many Christians to believe that Paul is the ultimate authority - even over the words and teachings of the Mashiach. This is a theology that when the walls fall to the bulldozer of truth often causes believers to question all of their faith. Why? Because that is how they understood scripture. Why? Because that is how it was taught to them. And why the distortion? Because the business of church requires the church leader to issue a permission slip to lawlessness if the church is going to succeed.Who said the law "was nailed to the cross"? Who said "you are not under the law?"However, should we bash Pa'al altogether? I don't think so. Let's talk about it.

What is the Cepher and why is it different? What are the treasures contained therein? What can a person expect when reading this text? Join us for a candid discussion about the Cepher!

In conclusion of our cursory study of this topic, tonight we will look at the actual practices of Yoceph of A'rama'thean when he entered Britain to remain in AD 36. This promises to be a robust discussion.

In our discussion of the A'rama'thean Remnant, we have compared and contrastd the protocols with those practices held by the kahilah in Yerushalayim and even Qumran. Tonight we are going to begin our quest toward an understanding of the protocols as they developed in the British Isles. Let Yah arise!

In our discussion of the A'rama'thean Remnant, it is important to compare and contrast these protocols with those practices held by the kahilah in Yerushalayim and even Qumran. Tonight we are going to make a review of these practices and stayed tuned! There will be surprises!

For those of you who have followed this channel, and for those of you who are knew to our discussion, a great deal of time has been dedicated to understanding the true history of the faith in the risen Messiah (Mashiach). While many of us are familiar with the founding of the Christian church under Constantine in AD 325 at the Council of Nicea, many have no information at all about the practices across Europe in the years between the resurrection (approximately A.D. 31) and this council in what is today Istanbul in far away Turkey. Much is now being revealed about two factions of the faith in the hands of the eye witnesses (which would necessarily exclude the work of Pa'al (Paul) who would not begin his ministry until A.D. 48, namely that of Ya'aqov Tsaddiq (James the Just) who may have led in Qumran (ancient Damasque) and whose group may be responsible for amassing the Dead Sea Scrolls, and that of Yoceph A'rama'thea, whose group included Miryam the mother of Mashiach, Mary of Migdal (Mary Magdelene), Elazar (Lazarus who had risen from the grave) Simon the Zealot, Nicodemus, Aristobulus V and others found in the British Isles.While we will be comparing the practices of the community at Qumran (much of what is detailed in the DSS Community Rules and can also be found in Ma'asiym - the book of Acts) our focus is going to be primarily on the practices of the A'rama'thean remnant in the British Isles, for it would follow a slightly different path, particularly concerning the handling of private property.

The Brit Chadasha (the Renewed Covenant or New Testament) sets forth a discussion of something which has no precedent in the Tanakh and this is the casting out of demons. Is this merely Catholic mythology created by Monks in their imagination? Or was it an old wives tale later incorporated into scripture by corrupted scribes?

The casus belli for the upcoming war between Russia appears to have its impetus in the codification of divergent sexual orientation. This agenda is unacceptable to Russia and generally the Slavic world. It is the break that has caused inordinate "Russophobia" in the west - a vitriolic hatred which cannot be rationally justified but which has caused those who are under the jurisdiction of the six-colored flag to rise up to make war out of their intolerance. Yes, it is intolerance. There is room for every behavior on earth but the behavior built on the faith in the deliverance of Yahusha Mashiach that we call the Way, the Truth, and the Life. But there is a history of the foundation of this thought. It began in Sodom (C'dom). And it is much more than you might find in the deliverance of the story from (Bere'shiyth) Genesis. Join me tonight for another lively discussion.

Is the faith journey irrational? Does it defeat logic with its tenets of the resurrection, life eternal, and a truth which exists beyond the senses? Some people hold to the notion that if they can't see it, smell it, or touch it, it doesn't exist. History is of course no assistance whatsoever to those who espouse this view, nor is any other study, since education appears to be all virtual, whether expressed in the opinions of a teacher, the writing of a text, or the creation of a digital file. Yet, we are called to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of El’ayim." How is it that such a thing is proved, if not by employing reason? The perfect will of Yah is something which must be rightly discerned, as it is written: "Judge not according to the appearance but judge with righteous judgment."Yet, is there any other scripture which gives us a clear measure of proper judgment and the use of reason?While the redacted scripture in the form of 66 books does not have an elaboration, the Cepher Millennium Edition does include a particular discourse on this subject in the Cepher Makkabiy Reviy'iy (4 Maccabees). Let's take a look at this discussion here tonight.

One text in the Cepher that has received a great deal of criticism is of course the book of Yashar. It is both a lengthy and very interesting book that, according to sources, managed to evade the lying pen of the scribes for approximately 1500 years, emerging in Ivriyt form in 14th century Spain to be published thereafter. According to one record, the scroll of Yashar - a book which is identified both in the Cepher Yahusha (Book of Joshua) and Shemu'el Sheniy (2 Samuel), was secured from Roman destruction in AD 70 during the burning of Herod's Temple (the third temple) by a scribe and a Roman who would move the scroll to safety to be kept in hiding somewhere in Sevilla, Spain for centuries, to be revealed in the 14th century, published in the Ivriyth language in Italy in the 15th century, translated to English in the 19th century and included in the Cepher Millennium Edition in the 21st century.The Cepher Yashar (the book of Jasher) relates a more detailed history concerning the house of Yashar'el than is provided in the redacted text of the modern bible. Today we are going to take a look at the foundational myth behind the city of Rome and compare it with a narrative with which we are all familiar. While we are here, let's likewise attempt to get a grasp on the historical foundations of what we believe is true within scripture.Will you join me for this journey?

Ce qui est tragique? Ce qui est pathétique! Maybe the great tragedy in our own lives comes when we first learn that it is certain that we will die. Equally tragic, that we will die without knowing with the same certainty whether our consciousness will survive. How is it that we could be such sentient beings and come to nothing in the end? And life is given for the living and not for the dead. Somehow we seek to believe that our consciousness grants to us a right to live forever. So it is that we come to love this life - to cherish its wonder, its adventure, its challenges, its rewards, its maturity, its ongoing conversation. Yet it is written that there is no greater love than he who lays down his life for another. And what can be said about life? Is it not irrelevant if it is devoid of love? And so it is that we live to love, and love to live, and seek to determine if this is just the beginning - or even part of an ongoing continuum of life. Yet it is written that our names appear in the book of life written from the foundation of the world. How is this but that our lives - our thoughts, our hopes, our dreams, our ideas, our resolutions, our decisions - were all know from their beginning to their ending by he who created us. Our understanding of the metaphysical world around us - from good to evil, from light to the darkness, hinges around the notion that a supernatural world exists - something beyond our perception and senses. A world which can be understood, but not perceived.It is in this world that the promise of eternal life exists - the non-material world where truth, meaning, and even life itself exist. When we come to recognize this, we come to recognize this thing called the resurrection. When death arrives, let us remember what it is we know about the resurrection.

As the world begins into a great culling which is likely to be marked with supply chain issues and subsequent shortages, it behooves the believer to learn the discipline of fasting and prayer. Prepare your heart now, and you will know your inner strength well.

As we consider our beliefs what is the nature of our fellowship? Are we Torah Keepers? Messianic? Noahide? Netsariym? Before we answer how people should label us, let's take a look at what we believe and what we don't believe.Stay buckled in for your own safety and put your tray in the upright and locked position.

Forty days is appointed unto you - to reach understanding, to turn from wickedness and to embrace the way, the truth and the life. While many are called, few are chosen, and as a result, the gate is narrow and few find it. Are you one of those?The name of Yah is delivered now to those with ears to hear and eyes to see. The truth rises from earth among the qodeshiym and it does so in forty days.

In the world of the study of scripture, the true students have come to appreciate that the Gregorian Calendar which we have today, or the Julian Calendar which preceded it, have little to do with the calendar(s) discussed in scripture. As a result, many have searched the scripture over to find the true biblical pattern for the calendar, that they might correctly observe the feasts of Yahuah given to us specifically in Mosheh’s Torah, and reiterated throughout the Brit Chadashah (New Testament).While there are at least three independent calendars which are discussed in the scriptures – 1) Noach’s calendar which delivers a 360-day year – a calendar which is also adopted by Daniy’el; 2) the so-called Tsadoq or priestly calendar of 364 days based on a 30-30-31 pattern given to us in Yovheliym and Chanoch, and 3) the soli-lunar-stellar calendar given to us in Bere’shiyth 1:14, which appears to have been in use in the Gaelic/Celtic world from a time out of mind until overruled by Rome.It is not my intention here to assert the supremacy of one calendar system over another. If you adhere to a calendar which is different than the one I espouse, there will be no condemnation or verbal assault on your views here. I am simply setting forth the calendar as I understand it; the reasons why I adhere to this calendar; and most importantly, how this calendar works. As we will see, there is scriptural support for the ideas of “leap” days to accommodate each calendar, and there is evidence of a 13th month as well.

8 Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Se`iyr: Esau is Edom. Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 36:1-8. When studying this, we are handed yet another bill of geographic goods based upon the tired guesses of people whose conclusions begin with a predisposed bias. We are told that Mount Se'iyr is not a mountain at all, but rather a hill or set of hills around a place called Petra. Someone somewhere reached this conclusion and the world followed without actually taking a close look.When we look at it now, we will be able to see the forest for the trees, and to see it quite clearly, as the answer has been before us all of our lives. Once this is known however, it may change your understanding of the world today, as it likely will split the veil to show the inner sanctum of the truth - a truth that carries with it the ultimate irony, and a truth that defuses the myriad of claims made in our times which requires obeisance to an unnamed god and its progeny of usurpers.Can a simple fact be that important? Stay tuned as reason for yourself as we look into a place called Idumea.

Is there any way possible to ascertain the dates when all of those things written in the Besoroth (the gospels) actually happened? Is scripture silent or ambiguous to these things? Not at all. Luqas is quite keen on giving us enough information to determine a number of things. For instance, by telling us that Zakaryahu (the father of Yahuchanon the Baptizer) was a priest in the course of Aviyahu, we can get a direct reckoning of the date of conception for his son (having occurred in the 10-12 week following the beginning of the year), which would place his birth in the following spring. Mashiach would follow six months later, necessarily in the fall. This is the case notwithstanding extra-scriptural wives' tales about ewes calving and so forth. Luqas is quite specific.In addition he gives us a plethora of information in respect of the beginning of the ministry of Mashiach, starting there in Chapter 3. From this, we can reckon many things, including the year, the month, the day and even the hour of the critical events of the Besoroth (the gospels).Join me for this review of this timing. May this be a blessing to you. Remember to subscribe if you wish to chat during the presentation.

Many in the Christian world have questions: Questions about their prayer life such as, how should I address my prayers? Do I pray to Jesus or to God? If it says ask anything in my name, should I use the name of Jesus in closing all of my prayers? What about God? Is he the cruel war god described by so many that we are to avoid? Isn't there a difference between the God of the New Testament and the God of the Old Testament? If my church is strictly a New Testament church, should we be considering the Old Testament at all? Didn't all of that stuff get nailed to the cross? Should I actually read the Old Testament or just wait for my pastor to point out the relevant sections and leave the rest alone? Am I allowed to read the bible by myself? Isn't the Apocrypha just for Catholics? Will I fall from grace if I come to understand the laws, judgments, statutes and covenants of the Old Testament?The teaching of Mashiach tells you directly who to pray to: Our father, and then he models that kind of prayer in John 17. What if I told you that the name of the father and the name of the son were in essence the same? We will be looking at the idea that was proposed long ago claiming that the "God" of the Old Testament (Yahuah Elohiym) was a lesser demiurge than the "God" of the New Testament (Iesous Cristos whose birth name was not in Greek but Hebrew, and he was named after that famous deliver Joshua); this notion has been dispelled as heresy for centuries! Join us for a lively discussion on why the phrase "renewed covenant" is a better choice that "new testament".

In the world of today, there are those who are critically concerned with their self-identified pronouns – words which are used to clarify to a third person the identity of the person in question. To select and demand a particular pronoun use is to dictate both speech and thought. For some reason, the progressives of today find this to be important.But what of the use of the proper noun? In the world of identity, this is a rational priority. This is how we know that we are discussing the particular person, place, or thing, using an identifier that is specific to one and sufficient in difference to exclude virtually all others. Although proper nouns can be common as well, when combined with one or more others they work to create a singular identity.However, in the modern world, we have many who have undertaken to create a second or pseudo-identity, creating proper names for themselves other than the name given to them at birth. The question for today is, by what markers do we determine a person’s identity? And ultimately, how does this relate to the well-known “man of lawlessness”?Join us today for a discussion on these criteria.

Today we will review a few passages found in the Besoroth (the Gospels) in respect of the authority of the Rabbis, and the words of Mashiach in respect thereof. Does the word "Rabbi" actually appear in scripture? If so, where? And what about the authority of the scribes and Pharisees? What does your bible say?The Brit Chadasha (the New Testament) is the primary work for those of Mashiach, those who are of his body, those who are called according to his purpose. The Torah (instruction) in the New Testament does not vitiate, but does explain and define the prior teaching and instruction of the prophets and the writers. One admonition that is clarified concerns paying attention to those who would usurp the authority of Mashiach, or worse, the authority of the Father.One of the great links between the Old Testament and the New Testament lies in the prayer which begins: "Our Father". While those of the Marcionic heresy would point out that this is somehow a different Father than the one discussed in the OT, the scriptures speak otherwise. Divrei Hayamiym Ri'shon (1 Chronicles) 29:10-11 says this: Wherefore Daviyd blessed Yahuah before all the assembly: and Daviyd said, Blessed be you, Yahuah Elohai of Yashar’el our Father, forever and ever. 11 Yours, O Yahuah, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours; yours is the Kingdom, O Yahuah, and you are exalted as head above all. The Father is specifically identified, and this becomes even more compelling when you compare prayer to prayer!A person claiming the title of Rabbi usurps the authority of Mashiach to be your singular teacher. A person claiming the title of Father usurps the authority of the Father himself. This is important in our world today.

Today we will take a look briefly at the name Yahuah but more in depth at the name Yahusha. There is a well-known saying among the modern generations: "Haters gotta hate" and few manifest hatred as well as those who hate the Sacred Names.If you agree that there is in fact a name set forth in scripture for the one who created us - our Father - then you might ask yourself the question whether he has a name. And if so, is it possible to find it in scripture? The answer is: Yes. And equally important, we are called upon to proclaim it, declare it, make mention of it, publish it and to call ourselves by it. You might recall that famous verse that begins with "if my people who are called by my name . . ." But, haters gotta hate, and hate is what they do with the Sacred Name of the Father, criminalizing the mere speaking of it; calling it the dirtiest word you could ever utter, and of course ridiculing those who declare the name as "Sacred Namers" as though we are intolerant. You might recall this verse from the Besorah Yochanon (the Gospel of John): And I have declared unto them your name and will declare it: that the love wherewith you have loved me may be in them, and I in them. Yochanon 17:26. If you are asking yourself the question WWJD?, well here is one answer.But those who have been reared on worship dogma concerning the name "Jesus" are Sacred Namers to a maximum degree, although the name did not appear in that form in scripture until 1789. It's not inaccurate per se in designating the Messiah - but it is derivative, being an Anglicanization of a Germanized form of an Old English Reduction from a Greek substitution for the original name. Wouldn't you like to know what the original name was? But I know what you are thinking. You don't want to take the word from some big beard Sacred Namer like me. Fortunately, you don't have to! Today we are going to see what Strong's has had to say about this topic for generations. Now, you can actually know with confidence.

A seamless garment - a robe of great value. How is it that this is mentioned in the gospel? Let's take a look at this very curious item and see if we can unfold its mystery.

Join us this evening as we discuss 2023 and the work of Cepher Publishing Group and friends.

As we see the Gregorian year pass behind us in what can only be described as a year of momentous change, many of the friends of the Cepher may have much to discuss. This was a year of upheaval - a time when Pax Americana passed and a multi-polar world emerged; when the faith in American media, American politics and the American dream were shattered on the hard stone of intrinsic corruption, failed politics, banking bullying., market manipulation, and the ascendency of AI. Our military industrial complex in a bid to secure inordinate profits, overturned the idea of a single worldwide market, abusing sanctions to force compliance to a degenerate agenda from many nations in order to sustain an otherwise fading dominance. The facade of an ideal democracy, a moral nation defending human rights, and a world economic model has faded into the oblivion of non-stop scandal, allegations of corruption, and a complete abandonment of the constitutional republic by the nation's leaders. It has become difficult to imagine that the main arguments in our society is whether pornography should be available to 1st and 2nd graders as a matter of federal curriculum choices, whether a solution exists to deal with the thousands of homeless on the streets of our cities, and whether we should abandon all American needs including toxic spills in Ohio, the destruction of our major food processing plants, and the collapsing of the middle class into $1.1 trillion of credit card debt, to fund a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.Is there a new normal? Is there any normal? And what do we see in faith? How many have come to deny the Mashiach? How many churches have closed? How many churches have redefined themselves under a different banner - abandoning the faith in favor of a social club, a prosperity ring, a positive thinking network, or a fund raising agent for either the church leadership or the nation of Israel?Is prophecy of the end times now unfolding? Are the prophecies of Chazon (Revelation) coming to pass? Is the Antichrist ready to emerge? Is he already with us?Join us to discuss these things as we have a conversation among friends.Scriptural references will be taken from the Cepher Millennium Edition, available at cepher.net. Additional teaching is also available at cepheracademy.net.

A mystery abounds in the genealogy of scripture - one that seems to contradict the Torah of Moshe, and one that ultimately leads to the birth of the Messiah and the fulfillment of prophecy. When we look at the law concerning the first born and his birthright, what do we see when it comes to the sons of Ya'aqov? A mystery to be sure. For the curious, not all will be unfolded here tonight, but certainly enough to get us thinking. What is the mystery of the scarlet thread?

The sacrosanct - is it beyond constructive criticism? This issue is before us because a problem exists in English bibles - a problem of significant proportion which places all of the New Testament into suspicion. We have been told many things by the seminary graduates, but are these things true? Should we accept the sacrosanct on the basis of the claim alone? Today we look quickly at the issue of genealogy found in the New Testament -- in particular, the genealogy of Mashiach, because the testimony appears to be at odds with each other. Can this be true? If so, how is it reconciled? Let's take a look and see how it is handled in the Cepher.

How many times have you heard the narrative that mankind was placed here by "the gods" who made man in order to have worker slaves to help them mine gold as they sought their way back home?This narrative has become even more acute in modern times with people claiming that the "aliens" are about to be disclosed and governments are going to admit the presence of extra-terrestrial beings on earth. Well, doesn't Elohiym actually mean "the gods"?
