Regarding the Holidays of Men

(Regarding the holidays of men[1])
Thus says The Lord: All these things which these modern people do in My name, though they be called Christian or otherwise, I DO HATE! I loathe the sight of them! - Dead works! Abominations! Deplorable traditions, in where they have despised both Me and My Word!
Behold, even the churches of men pollute My name and My glory. Day after day, they twist the Scriptures and tread upon My Holy Law, in an effort to uphold their own way. Behold, from house to house they pollute the name of The Messiah, desecrating The Glory of My majesty, as they attempt to place the name of The Holy One upon their perverse traditions! Reason has altogether departed from them, the truth is cast down, and righteousness has perished![2] For not one is willing to embrace Me as I truly am!
Therefore, thus says The Lord to the churches of men: Your worship is in vain! Your offerings are not accepted! Behold, even your prayers are an abomination! For you do always turn your ear away from hearing the Holy Law, and have not ceased from practicing those things I hate![3] Modern Pharisees! Arrogant children!
Behold, you have made for yourselves a graven image, an intricately woven tapestry of man-made doctrine and idolatrous tradition, interlacing sin with sin, all in the name of your “Jesus”, another messiah which you have created in your own image![4] Desecration! Blasphemy! YOU KNOW NEITHER ME, NOR MY WORD!
Thus I call all those who desire to serve Me
In truth and righteousness, to tear down
Every whitewashed wall of abomination![5]...
For this is not a light matter with Me,
But carries great weight, filling the cup of
My indignation throughout your generations!...
And behold, I shall surely pour out!...
Until My wrath is satisfied and My anger has abated,
Until the whole breadth of the whole earth
Is cleansed in the heat of My fury!...
Says The Lord.

(Regarding the modern holidays of men[6])
Thus says The Lord God: This world has altogether become a house of harlots, a whole generation who ceases not from committing fornication with the pagan and the heathen, reveling always in those things I hate! - A most perverse generation who desecrates the name of The Messiah, a foolish people who do always take the name of The Lord in vain![7]
Behold, all remain shackled to this world, captivated by sin, caught up in the ways of the world and men! Even those within the churches of men will not heed My voice, nor will they receive My correction; choosing rather to mingle honor with dishonor, praise with blasphemy, and purity with sin! Therefore stop breaking My Commandments in The Messiah’s name, O churches of men! You shall not associate His name with sin, nor shall you honor Him with pagan rituals and idolatrous traditions, lest I reject you as I rejected the pagans before you!
~
Peoples of the earth, the Wrath of The Lamb is coming![8]
Did you think I would stay silent during the time appointed?!
Did you think I would not set the time and declare the season?!...
For I am a jealous God and great in power,
AND I DO NOT CHANGE![9]
Thus I shall speak plainly, for you are a most rebellious and hard-hearted people, a most foolish and deceived generation: These modern holidays called Christmas, Easter, Halloween and the like, are an abomination in the eyes of The Most High God. Therefore in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath, I shall destroy all your pagan traditions, and tear apart every perverse holiday of man! Behold, I shall wipe them from the face of the earth on that day, and no more shall you break My Commandments and revel in sin in The Messiah’s name!
Behold, My countenance is turned against you, O churches of men! For you have blasphemed My name without ceasing, polluting the name of The Messiah days without end! You have placed the commandments of men above The Commandments of God, saying within yourselves, “We are the only authority among men.” How long shall you walk in the ways of the harlot and commit adultery with the pagan?! How long shall you turn your ear away from hearing The Holy Law?! Thus your worship is not accepted, and your prayers are an abomination![10]
Churches of men, stop your vain babbling, for you do always twist the Scriptures of Truth! BE SILENT BEFORE YOUR GOD! For your traditions are heresy, and your holidays are proof! Purge all this blasphemy from your lips, therefore, step back from your corrupt teachings, and take an account! HUMBLE YOURSELVES! For I am indeed calling you out!
Know you not, that you have all become as the pagan and the heathen, by which all your holidays have their origins?! ABOMINATION! This world has seduced you, and the harlot has led you into temptation! She shall be stripped naked and left desolate in the day of her calamity, broken because of her iniquities, put to death because of her denial of the Truth, crushed beneath the feet of The Holy One of Israel!
11/17/04 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Thus says The Lord: Most assuredly, I say to you, any and all rituals which are rooted in paganism are an abomination in the eyes of God! And all who place My name upon them, or do them by permission in My name, have surely taken the name of The Lord in vain!
I know many say they celebrate this holiday in loving memory of My earthly birth, yet on this day I did not come into the world by way of water and blood. For that day and hour remains unknown to you, nor do you understand. For you cast off knowledge, and refuse to honor the appointed times which The Father commanded you to keep holy and remember. Thus My people are indeed destroyed for lack of knowledge, as it is written.[11]
How long shall you mar My image before the people?!
How long shall My name be blasphemed
Because of you, O churches of men?!...
How long shall you commit adultery with the
Harlot and revel in the idolatries of the pagan?!
How long shall you remain married to this world
And all its fornications against God?!...
Again I tell you, ALL religions, religious rituals
And celebrations, rooted deeply in paganism,
Are an abomination in the eyes of The Most High God!
Well did My servant Sha’ul (also known as Paul) prophesy of you, saying: In the latter days some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their consciences seared as with a hot iron.[12] And well did he prophesy of this generation, saying: Men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.[13]
Therefore, woe to all who celebrate this detestable holiday of men! Woe, I say to you! And three times woe, to all who do so in MY name! Hypocrites! Workers of idolatry! You are a perverse people who do always take the name of The Lord in vain! Yet I hear you saying, “But we only seek to honor You, Lord, in any and all ways.” Yet I ask you, how can we be one if your heart belongs to another?[14] And how does reveling in those things I hate honor Me? I tell you the truth, all who love this world more than Me are not worthy of Me! And all who honor the ways of the harlot dishonor Me and shall share in her judgment! And ALL, who revel in the ways of the pagan, have cast their lot with satan! Or have you never read these Scriptures: You can not drink the cup of The Lord and the cup of demons; you can not partake of The Lord’s table and of the table of demons?![15]
Indeed, what do all these things have to do with Me? Why do you decorate the tree? Is it not beautiful as it is? And why do you decorate your house? A household, which seeks to honor Me, has no need of worldly decorations. For in humility, set apart, shall you shine forth. And why do you give worldly gifts in My name? Am I not The Gift, He who ascended on high, He who led captivity captive and gave gifts to men?[16] Therefore receive of Me, of all I offer, and be separate. For in following My ways do you give gifts to Me and to each other, even to all those around you, for the gifts I bring endure forever.
Therefore, again I ask you, what matter these things of the world and men, which shall soon pass away? Yet you say, “All these things are a metaphor and a testament to You, Lord.” Yet I tell you, anything which comes from sin is sin; do not do it! Tear down all these whitewashed walls of abomination, and do only as The Word of God instructs! For the season of giving is each and every day, and the season of love is every day, every hour, every minute, every moment of your life lived in Me. So then, share My gifts and withhold not; lift up the poor in spirit and feed the hungry, help the needy and comfort the sick, doing so in My name. Yet do not do as the pagans do, for this is sin. Be completely separate and shun these perverse holidays of men; stop breaking My Commandments!
You wish to celebrate My name and My earthly birth, do so; yea, bring glory to My name by your obedience, set apart. You wish to enjoy festivals with your family, do so; I have given you seven.[17] And in these seven is wisdom and understanding, the very mind of God, revelation beyond words, the will of God made manifest. Yet no more do as the pagans and false teachers would have you do. Cast off this holiday; throw away your tree and lights, rid your house of all decorations, turn away from these filthy traditions. Honor Me as I truly am, obey the Scriptures, and turn away from the commandments of men.[18]
Know this: The Salvation Day of Men is four-fold...
It was ordained before the foundation of the world,
Fulfilled at My birth, finished at My death on the cross,
And solidified eternally upon My resurrection...
I AM THE LORD.
10/7/04 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For Timothy and His Wife, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
This question was asked of The Lord: Lord, what is your will for us regarding Christmas this year?
[The Lord answered] Timothy and Beloved, I tell you this: Let your hearts guide you, for on them have I written many things, and will continue to do so. Yea, even greater things will I reveal to you in the days to come. Then shall you be changed, from that which is perishable to that which is imperishable, your innermost desire realized.
As for this holiday called Christmas, you must forsake it. For on this day, The Son of Man did not come into the world by way of water and blood; neither shall My people worship Me in this way. Yet of Messiah’s birth, you may indeed remember it with your family, for it was the beginning of your salvation. For where there was once only darkness, behold, a great light has appeared![19] Therefore, blessed are those who worship with gratitude, giving thanks for the birth of My Son. Even more blessed are those who worship and give thanks for His death and resurrection.
Yet woe to those who associate the name of The Son of God with pagan practices and idolatrous traditions! YOU HAVE SURELY TAKEN THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN! Woe to all who celebrate this holiday called Christmas, for you do dishonor Me by all you say and do! For this season of so-called giving is detestable in My sight! ABOMINATION! IDOLATRY!
Woe to all who ignore My warnings and break My Commandments! YOU ARE ALL SLAVES! You have made mammon your master, materialism has bound you in chains, for you want no part with Me as I truly am! Behold, from you My spirit is far removed, for you have surely made yourselves enemies of God![20] I tell you the truth, the day is coming and is already here, when the quality of each man’s work shall be tried and the faith of every self-proclaimed believer tested! For the Day of The Lord shall surely declare it![21]
Know you not, that to imitate The Messiah is righteousness?! My people, you were to walk in His ways! Yet you have made of Him a mockery! How long shall you cleave to the harlot?! How long shall you walk in her ways?! My people, come out of her, and touch no more the unclean thing![22]
For I tell you the truth, to replace Christ,
Or to associate His name with sin, is to
Partake in that which is called antichrist!...
And to honor The Messiah with pagan customs and
Filthy traditions is to take the name of The Lord in vain!...
DESECRATION! BLASPHEMY!
I know many in this world celebrate this holiday in ignorance of its origins, yet it is an abomination to Me, pagan practices and idolatrous traditions which I loathe in My zeal! Therefore, woe to those who willfully walk in ignorance! And woe, even three times woe, to those who knowingly place their stamp of approval on these things, doing so in The Messiah’s name; yours shall be a most bitter place, your discipline severe! Woe to all who knowingly lead others into rebellion against The Lord, for the mouth of Sheol is open and ready to receive you!
Beloved ones, worship Me as I am and not as you would have Me be! Obey MY voice! Depart from every form of evil and tear down every whitewashed wall of abomination! CHURCHES OF MEN, STOP TWISTING THE SCRIPTURES TO UPHOLD YOUR OWN WAY! Be separate from this world, and no more endorse those things I hate! Again, I say, be separate and come out from among them,[23] and repent! Return to Me, in spirit and in truth, and in the day I stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the earth, you shall surely be gone from this place, says The Lord.
So then, My beloved servants, share your gifts: Lift up the poor and help the needy, give drink to the thirsty and feed the hungry, share My love and wash each other’s feet. Yet no longer be a friend of this world,[24] and no more walk in the ways of the churches of men, for they have not known Me.
Be set apart!
Rejoice and give thanks!...
Honor The Messiah in spirit and in truth,[25]
And walk closely in His example;
Testify of Him, from His birth to His passion;
Glorify His name in all the earth!...
For HE is the true gift...
Says The Lord.
This question was asked of The Lord: Lord, what do you say about the modern Christmas?
[The Lord answered] Though you ask of Me once again, Timothy, concerning this holiday which I hate, this season which the people in your land, even in many lands, mistakenly refer to as Christmas, I will not press down upon you the many cups filled to overflowing with My indignation. For you haven’t the paper or strength of hand to write it. I AM THE LORD.

The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
This question was asked of The Lord, for several family members: Lord, may we still give gifts to our loved ones, as long as it doesn’t take place on the 25th of December, and if we do not call it Christmas?
Thus says The Lord of Heaven and Earth: In these things of sin, which are altogether an abomination before The Lord, TAKE NO PART! Make no compromise, nor attempt to go roundabout; be completely separate. Turn your back on all these commandments of men[26] which pollute My name and My glory, stop drinking from these polluted fountains! For I hate all these filthy traditions, I loathe the sight of them! They are corrupt, evil works and adulteries, harlotries passed down from generation to generation, idolatries of every kind! Says The Lord.
Thus says The Lord to all those who say they love Me, yet do not remain in My love:[27] Do you really know Me? And if you long to know Me as I truly am, then let go of this world and forsake its evil ways. Come out from among them and be separate; take no part in that which is unclean, and I will receive you.[28] Yet I hear you saying, “But I do these things with a pure heart. The Lord will understand, for I do these things out of love.”
Yes, all things born of love are good and well-pleasing to The Lord. For I know your hearts, beloved, even to your innermost desires and intentions.[29] Yet those who love Me obey My commands and give heed to the leading of My spirit, for the two are in agreement. It is written: God is love.[30] And if I am love, then obey Me as I have loved you; remember My decrees and obey My Commandments. Reveal to every onlooker that I am indeed your First Love, and I alone deserve your worship.
Thus says The Risen One: Therefore no more give your love or attention to the things of this world, for they are passing away.[31] Neither shall you love anyone more than Me. Or have you never read these Scriptures: He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;[32] and friendship with the world is enmity with God?[33] Therefore honor Me in spirit and in truth, in accordance with the Scriptures.[34] Stand apart from the ways of this world, and cast away those things which pollute My name and My glory; crucify your lives of old and follow Me![35]
Beloved ones, the Scriptures are not malleable;
The Commandments do not change!...
For The Truth is absolute, forever standing on a hill,
Bright and shining, immovable, unbreakable!...
The Everlasting Stone which has become The Head of the Corner,[36]
The Great Mountain which fills the whole earth![37]...
Says The Lord.

The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For Those in Men’s Fellowship, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
(Regarding the conflict which arises between those who keep the holidays of men
And those who obey the Word of The Lord)
Thus says The Lord: Purification of faith starts with the temple in which I dwell,[38] and ends with the house in which My servants dwell. For the Day approaches quickly wherein My witnesses[39] shall wield a staff and a sword; a staff to break, and a sword to cut and strike through. And wheresoever I send them, in where an idol is found, I shall cause a fire to well up within their hearts and they shall strike with ferocity, breaking every idol in pieces, cutting down every tree of abomination which stands against Me, piercing the heart of every man who upholds that which pollutes My name and My glory, whether he blasphemes in word or by deed. Behold, Every form of idolatry shall be utterly destroyed in that day! Says The Lord.
My sons, you fear a war which is waged already, a battle that has already come. And though I have said that I require peace in the houses of My servants, there can be no peace while abominations stand. Therefore, if peace is taken from a house in the name of righteousness, to rectify that which has polluted My name and My glory, this is acceptable with Me. For you have shown yourselves worthy of Me[40]... Or have you forgotten the sword I bring?[41]
Yet My words are only for those who believe,[42]
For those willing to set all these crooked paths straight...
Those who love Me more than these...
Says The Lord.
