American Jesus

How is American Jesus different than Biblical Jesus?

American Jesus is more than a religious teacher or a historical figure.  He is a cultural icon that is found in every corner of America and is a part of every generation.  In fact, he is the most popular American cultural icon of all time. 

There are as many variations of depictions of American Jesus as there are variations of ethnic groups in America. Even with these variations in skin color, hair color, and eye color, there is still enough consistency that American Jesus is instantly recognizable.  His motif may even come in colors like green or purple, but Americans still recognize American Jesus.

Americans love American Jesus, and he loves them.  In fact, the United States is his favorite place on the entire Earth.

American Jesus is sung about in every genre of music in America.  He is just alright with the drug culture musicians and the small-town alternative to drugs according to country musicians.

American Jesus spans the political spectrum.  He is a liberal to the liberals, a conservative to the conservatives and an independent to the independents.

American Jesus is a social justice warrior who demands change and the protector of the status quo.  He is the ultimate example of the best of humanity by the definition of every American.

American Jesus is too compassionate on women to be pro-life and too compassionate on the unborn to be pro-choice.  He is a peacenik who advocates peace at any cost and the unseen warrior that goes before the American military to win at any cost.

American Jesus is a Catholic, a Protestant, a Mormon, and a Universalist.  He is also a Muslim, a Hindu, and held in the highest regard by every religion in America – except one.

American Jesus is tolerated by some in Rabbinic Judaism as being good for other Americans.  He can be any kind of American except a Jewish American.  He can be any ethnicity except for Jewish.

American Jesus is a unifying enigma that transcends all boundaries.  He can be anything to everyone and do anything - except cause division between Americans.  He is in every way an inoffensive Jesus.

American Jesus seems so good to so many Americans.  It is not hard to understand why he is so popular with Americans.

However, is American Jesus the same as the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) found in the pages of the Book of Truth (The Bible)?  Which version of American Jesus most resembles him?  Are there any aspects of the Man of Truth are not shared by any version of American Jesus?

American Jesus was born on Christmas.

American Jesus was born on Christmas Day – December 25.  This was the date of Sol Invictus – the celebration of the Winter Solstice - on the Julian Calendar when it was first invented.

(Julius Caesar did not actually invent the Julian Calendar.  It was invented by Greek Astronomers but did not gain acceptance until Julius Caesar decreed it as the official calendar of the Roman Empire.  So, it was named after him due to his decree.)

Sol Invictus began on the evening of December 24-Christmas Eve - when Julius Caesar decreed that the Roman Empire would use the Julian Calendar in 45 BC.   It already had Sol Invictus during the day of December 25 at the time of his decree.

Sol Invictus was the day for celebrating the Roman Sun god – Sol- being born.  The idea was that night had been killing Sol and causing shorter days until the Winter Solstice – when Sol proved to be invincible by being reborn, and the days started to get longer.

It was also celebrated as the birthday of the Indian god Mithra that had been imported into the Roman Empire from India via the Persian Empire and then the Greek Empire.   Mithra was often paired with Sol in Roman religion since Mithra was the god of light that was born on the same day as Sol each year.

Both of these ultimately came from Tammuz in Babylon, whose birthday was also on the Winter Solstice.  He was killed by a boar that represented Shem the Lamenter in Babylonian mythology but was born through reincarnation on the next Winter Solstice.

After being born anew, he then killed the boar that had killed him and ate it.  So, the Romans would kill a pig and eat it on Sol Invictus to commemorate the birth of Tammuz.

Pliny the Elder dated the Winter Solstice as December 25 based on observable astronomical events about a hundred years later.  So, the Julian Calendar seemed to be staying in line with the solar year.

However, Sol Invictus kept getting farther and farther from the Winter Solstice on the Julian Calendar over the centuries.  Consequently, Christmas also did the same since they were the same celebration with two different names.

This is because the Julian Calendar was flawed in that it had leap year every four years without exception.  As a result the date of astronomical events like the Winter Solstice slipped backwards by 3.1 days every 400 years.

The Gregorian Calendar corrected this defect by not having Leap Day on years that ended in 00 but were not evenly divisible by 400.  For example, 1700, 1800, and 1900 did not have a Leap Day, but 2000 had a Leap Day.

So by the time of the Gregorian correction in 1582,  the Winter Solstice had shifted to December 11 the previous year.  After the correction, it was on December 22.   Still Christmas stayed on 25 December – just like Sol Invictus had done after it was no longer in sync with the Winter Solstice on the Julian Calendar.

By this time, the False Church of Rome had brought in many of the Nordic, German, and Celtic people into it by incorporating some of the traditions of their idolatry into Christmas.  This included the practice of cutting down a tree, placing it in the home, and putting presents under it.

Like the tradition of eating a pig on Christmas, this tradition also ultimately had its roots in Babylon.  It too was connected with celebrating the birth of Tammuz.

So, the birth of American Jesus is celebrated on December 25 each year with Christmas trees that people bowed down before when they placed gifts under them.  Americans then eat ham in his honor at Christmas dinner and finally bow down before the Christmas tree to pull out gifts from beneath it.

This celebration is not just an American phenomenon.  There is a global Christmas party that celebrates the birth of American Jesus.

How similar is this to the birth of the Man of Truth?

The first thing to consider is when was the Man of Truth born?  How close does a date of December 25 match with the facts of the Christmas story (as churches call it) in the Book of Truth?

A decree was given that everyone across the Roman Empire had to go to their home town to pay their taxes (Luke 2:1-3).  The Man of Truth was born in Bethlehem when Joseph (husband of Mary) was there to pay his taxes (Luke 2:4-6).

In America, tax day is April 15 because that was when England collected taxes in it when it was part of the British Empire.  In England, taxes were collected in April because that is when the Romans collected taxes in it when it was part of the Roman Empire.

The Romans collected taxes in the month of April because that is when barley became ripe, and they needed to replenish their grain supply after Winter.  Therefore, the Man of Truth was born in April according to the Book of Truth.

The shepherds were also out with their flocks at night when the Man of Truth was born in an empty animal booth and placed in a feed trough (Luke 2:7-12).  They had no problem finding him because they were familiar with the empty animal booth (Luke 2:13-16).

Normally, sheep were kept in a sheepfold at night with the shepherd guarding the sheepfold (John 10:1-2).  The shepherd would then lead them to green pastures in the morning (John 10:3-4).

However, during lambing season the sheep had to be kept out and the shepherd had to watch them at night.  Otherwise, the sheep would step on and kill the newborn lambs if they were all packed together in a sheepfold.

The lambing season lasts for seventeen days in early Spring in the northern hemisphere.  It begins around the Spring Equinox in the area around Israel and ends around the first week of April.

Therefore, the Man of Truth was born during the first week of April according to the Book of Truth.  He certainly was not born on December 25 like American Jesus.

The Man of Truth certainly did not set a tree on a stand in his house and decorate it with gold and silver ornaments like idolators had done (Jeremiah 10:3-5).  He did not adorn it with blue and purple ribbons or garlands like these idol worshipers had done to their idols (Jeremiah 10:8-9).

The Man of Truth knew that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) had commanded that the people of Israel to not carry out any practices that came from idol worship (Deuteronomy 12:30).  He knew they were never to be modify these practices to be used in worship of the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 12:31-32).

The Man of Truth also certainly did not so much as touch the body of a dead pig – much less eat part of it (Leviticus 11:7-8).  He knew that the people of Isreal were not to do this to show that they were holy like the Father of Truth is holy (Leviticus 11:45-47).

Therefore, the Man of Truth did not celebrate his birthday by getting presents out from under a Christmas tree.  He also did not get a ham dinner for his birthday each year!

So, there are some similarities between the circumstance of the birth of American Jesus and the Man of Truth like his birthplace, but their birthdays are over three months apart!  There are absolutely no similarities in how their birthdays are celebrated!

American Jesus died on Good Friday and rose again on Easter Sunday.

This life of American Jesus is commemorated by Lent.  This season begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with Easter Sunday.

The last week of the life of American Jesus is commemorated by “Holy Week”.  This begins after celebrating his triumphant entry on Palm Sunday.

In this commemoration, American Jesus died on Good Friday.  He then rose again on Easter Sunday.

Since Lent came from the False Church of Rome, many Americans do not observe most of Lent.  However, they agree that American Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, was crucified on Good Friday, and resurrected on Easter Sunday.

Many commemorate the triumphant entry of American Jesus with ceremonies using palm leaves in church services on Palm Sunday.  Some attend services to weep over his death on Good Friday.

However, most Americans celebrate his resurrection on Easter Sunday.  This is the day of the highest church attendance in America.

There are usually plays and ceremonies to mark the resurrection of American Jesus.  The girls are often dressed in the Easter dresses and the boys are dressed up in Easter suits.

For some, the celebration begins before dawn when they arrive to watch the Sun rise on Easter Sunday.  They typically sing songs of praises as it is rising.

After the service, the resurrection of American Jesus is celebrated with the Easter Game.  This game has several forms, but there is a common pattern among them.

In this game, the Easter Bunny has placed colored Easter Eggs outside for children to find.  Sometimes the Easter Eggs are all in plain sight in the grass but other times the Easter Eggs are hidden under bushes, among the Easter Lillies, or in hollow places in trees.

The children then scrabble to collect as many Easter Eggs as possible and place them in their traditionally wicker Easter Baskets.  There are prizes given to those who collected the most Easter Eggs and those who collected specially marked Easter Eggs.

The Easter Game that commemorates the resurrection of American Jesus is so popular that it is often played by American Muslims, Hindus, and Atheists.  This is because they know that American Jesus is accepting of people of all religions –  even those who claim to have no religion.

It does not seem to bother anyone that Easter is the name of the Germanic goddess of fertility that was worshipped also by the Celts and Norse under a similar name in their languages.  They continue to play the Easter Game that was created to honor this goddess to commemorate the resurrection of American Jesus.

Then they eat Easter Dinner to commemorate this event.  It usually features some sort of salad made from green vegetables that match the greenness of Spring and a main course.

Ham has been the traditional main course of this celebration of his resurrection.  However, American Jesus is inclusive to all religions,- so lamb, turkey and meat substitutes have become common as well.

The traditional treat is Easter Cakes.  These are traditionally small white cakes decorated with emblems of fertility like flowers and eggs in Spring colors.

They are named Easter Cakes because the Germanic, Celtic, and Norse people baked these cakes as a sacrifice to Easter – the Queen of Heaven.  They then ate these small cakes at a feast in honor of the Queen of Heaven.

Today, these cakes are eaten to commemorate the resurrection of American Jesus.  Apparently, no one saw a need to rename them to “Resurrection Cakes” instead of Easter Cakes.

How similar is this to the death and resurrection of the Man of Truth?

However, many of the American Children of Truth have rejected the association of the Man of Truth with Easter.  They simply do not see the traditions of Lent or Easter in the Book of Truth.  For this reason, they observe Resurrection Sunday instead of Easter Sunday.

However some of the traditions of Easter are in the Book of Truth.  They just have nothing to do with the resurrection of the Man of Truth.

The Jewish people worshiped the Queen of Heaven by baking and eating cakes in her honor (Jeremiah 7:17-18).  This caused confusion among them and angered the Father of Truth (Jeremiah 7:19).

So, we can be certain that the Man of Truth had nothing to do with the Queen of Heaven.  He certainly would not want his resurrection associated with Easter.

However, these American Children of Truth that have rejected Easter often still say the Man of Truth came into Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday, died on Good Friday, and rose on Resurrection Sunday.  Is this what the Book of Truth says?

We have to establish which day of the week the Man of Truth died on to establish when he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and was met with people waving palm branches.  To establish which day of the week he died on, we have to first establish which day of the week the Man of Truth was resurrected on.

First we have to establish when a day begins, and when the Sabbath is in the Book of Truth.  A day does not begin at midnight like the Romans established and when the Sabbath is not on Sunday like the False Church of Rome established.

First there was darkness and then the Father of Truth brought forth light (Genesis 1:2-3).  So, each day starts with the time of darkness called night that begins in the evening followed by the time of light called day that begins in the morning (Genesis 1:4-5).

Both evening and morning are transition times that take about an hour around the time of the Spring Equinox.  Evening begins when the sun goes below the horizon (sunset) and ends when all sunlight is gone (nightfall).  Morning begins when the first sunlight appears and ends when the sun is fully risen.

The Father of Truth then rested on the seventh day and set it apart as a day for rest at the end of each week (Genesis 2:1-3).  So, the Sabbath (ceasing) is the name of the seventh day that ends each week (Exodus 20:9-11).

We can be certain when the Sabbath occurs because the Father of Truth commanded the Jewish people when to observe it (Exodus 16:23-27).  They have been observing it without fail ever since then (Exodus 31:16-17).

The Jewish people were still observing the Sabbath as the seventh day of the week from Friday evening until Saturday evening at the time of the Man of Truth.  The first day of the week began on Saturday evening and ended on Sunday evening.

The tomb was opened sunlight first began to appear – an hour before sunrise - on the first day of the week – Sunday (Matthew 28:1-2).  In fact, it was still dark when the women first arrived there on the first day of the week -Sunday (John 20:1).

However, this was not just any Sunday, but was the day of Firstfruits – when the barley sheaves were raised as the first fruits of the barley harvest (Leviticus 23:10-15).  The Man of Truth had to rise on this day to be the first fruits of those who rise from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:20-23).

The day of Firstfruits always falls on the Sunday – the day after the weekly Sabbath - during the seven days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:6-11).  It was day one on the countdown to another special Sabbath that fell on the day after the seventh weekly Sabbath following it – also always a Sunday (Leviticus 23:15-16).

So, the Man of Truth indeed rose from the dead on a Sunday but about an hour before sunrise.  Also it was on Firstfruits and not Easter Sunday like American Jesus, so the Apostles of Truth would have said “Happy Firstfruits” instead of “Happy Easter” on the anniversary of his resurrection.

The spirit of the Man of Truth was in the heart of the earth after his death for three days and three nights (Matthew 12:39-40).  He did not rise again until after he had been dead for three whole days (Mark 8:31).

Even if you count partial nights as full nights and partial days as full days, there is no way to get three full days and three full nights with the Man of Truth dying on a Friday and rising on Sunday.  The only way to get three full days between his death and resurrection is if he died on a Wednesday.

On the fourteenth day of the first month of the Biblical Calendar, all of the people of Israel killed the Passover lamb at the same time as if they were all killing the same lamb (Exodus 12:2-6).  Then on the night that began with the evening that ended the fourteenth day they would eat it together (Exodus 12:8).

So, the evening after the lamb was killed on Passover also began the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that was on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Biblical Calendar (Leviticus 23:5-6).  This day was also a special Sabbath like the regularly weekly Sabbath (Leviticus 23:7).

So, the Man of Truth died on the day of preparation at the time the Passover lamb was killed for the special Sabbath that began that evening (Mark 15:39-42).  His body was placed in the tomb before the special Sabbath – the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread – began (John 19:31-42).

So, the Man of Truth died on Passover – the day of preparation when the Passover lamb was killed -the fourteenth day of the first month on the Biblical Calendar.  He was buried just before the Feast of Unleavened Bread began on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Just like December 25 on the Gregorian Calendar, the fourteenth day of the first month on the Biblical Calendar could fall on any day of the week. However like Easter Sunday, the day of Firstfruits could only fall on a Sunday.

So, the Man of Truth did not die on Good Friday like American Jesus.  He died on Passover which fell on a Wednesday that year.

Six days before Passover – a Thursday since Passover fell on a Wednesday that year – Mary (the sister of Lazarus) anointed the feet of the Man of Truth for his upcoming burial (John 12:1-7).  The next day – a Friday – he rode into Jerusalem where people greeted him as the King of Israel with palm branches (John 12:12-15).

So, the Man of Truth did not make his triumphant entry on Palm Sunday like American Jesus.  He made it on the Friday before Passover.

So, the only thing in common between the death and resurrection story of American Jesus and that of the Man of Truth is the resurrection occurring on a Sunday.  Even then, American Jesus was resurrected about an hour later than the Man of Truth.

Does American Jesus and the Man of Truth celebrate the same holidays?

American Jesus is often included in celebrations of American holidays besides Easter and Christmas.  He is featured especially in patriotic holidays.

This is not hard to understand, for the Book of Truth was the rock that the America was founded upon as President Andrew Jackson said.  Since the Man of Truth is the central figure of the Book of Truth, it is only natural to honor him when observing these holidays.

For example, MLK day remembers Reverend Martin Luther King Junior who often quoted from the Book of Truth in his speeches.  He stressed that it did not matter which of the six shades of brown of skin color people had, but how much their character reflected that of the Man of Truth.

So, sermons of MLK that quote the Man of Truth are often preached on this holiday.  In like manner, quotes from the Man of Truth found in these sermons are also often quoted in sound bites taken from those sermons.

Thus, the Man of Truth is featured so much in American national holidays that Americans act like he is an American.  This is one reason that he became American Jesus in the minds of so many Americans.

However, the Man of Truth never celebrated a single American holiday.  He celebrated the Jewish holidays found in the Book of Truth instead.

The Man of Truth celebrated Jewish religious holidays like Pesach (Passover) each year (Luke 2:41).  He also celebrated Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) like other Jews (John 7:1-2).

The Man of Truth also celebrated Jewish national holidays like Purim (John 5:1).  This holiday occurs a month before Pesach (John 6:4).

The Man of Truth announced that he was the light of the world at the Festival of Lights (John 8:12).  He had went to Jerusalem to celebrate the Jewish national holiday of Chanukah (The Feast of Dedication) in the Temple during the winter (John 10:22-23).

Americans sometimes refer to Chanukah as a Jewish Christmas because it occurs between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day each year, but it is very different.  The Man of Truth was not celebrating his birthday in a Jewish way at Chanukah.

Central to the celebration is the lighting of a nine candle Menorah called Chanukiah each night which people often placed in their windows.  So, it is also called the Festival of Lights due to the lights that appear everywhere during the eight-day celebration.

It is called Chanukah (dedication) because it remembers dedicating the Temple after it had been desecrated by Antiochus Epiphanes.  Without this dedication, the Man of Truth could have never brought salvation from the Temple.

This is the gift of the Maccabees.  It is how the Maccabees help spread the Gospel.

Chanukah remembers the faithful priest Matthias who decided that resistance is essential when most of the Jewish people were willing to be assimilated into Greek idolatry.  It remembers that the real miracle of Chanukah was those who did exploits through faith in the Father of Truth.

The Man of Truth was not celebrating some miracle where oil for one day burned for eight days made up by the Rabbis three hundred years after his death.  This story just shows that the Rabbis are liars and the source of Jewish trouble.

The Man of Truth knew that events of Chanukah were the story behind the story of his birth.  He knew that this story was told in the Book of Daniel hundreds of years before it occurred.

On one side in the Chanukah story are most of the Jews who forsook the Original Covenant and joined with Antiochus Epiphanes (the king of the northern Greek empire) in desecrating the Temple (Daniel 11:30-31).  On the other side is the remnant of the Jews who stayed loyal to the Father of Truth and some Greeks who helped them in resisting assimilation in a long war that ended with the Temple being dedicated again to the Father of Truth (Daniel 11:32-35).

So, how else is American Jesus different than the Man of Truth?

American Jesus has often been cast into the mold of any kind of American except a Jewish-American.  However, the Man of Truth was never any kind of American and he is a Jew.

The Man of Truth is more than just the savior of the Gentiles.  He is first and foremost the Messiah of Israel.

The Man of Truth only has the appearance of one ethnic group – the Jewish people (John 4:9-10).  He has a face that can get lost in a crowd of Jews from the Middle East (John 5:13).

The favorite place on the entire Earth of the Man of Truth is the land of Israel (Deuteronomy 11:9-12).  He will reign from the Jewish capital of Jerusalem – not the American capital of Washington D.C. (Matthew 5:35).

At the birth of the Man of Truth in Israel the Angels of Truth announced the desire of the Father of Truth to have peace on Earth and good will towards men (Luke 2:14-15).  He was sent as the means for people to have peace with the Father of Truth (Romans 5:1).

However, when the Man of Truth came into the world to bring this peace, he was not received even by his own people (John 1:10-11).  The world was unwilling to accept the conditions of peace that the Father of Truth required (John 3:17-20).

This is because the Man of Truth is not just alright with the drug culture and will destroy all of those who do not leave it (Galatians 5:19-21).  (The Greek word translated as “sorcery” is “pharmakeia” which includes hallucinogenic drugs that are used in sorcery.)

He is definitely against abortion as well.  The Father of Truth is the maker of every child while it is still in the womb (Psalm 139:13-14).  The Man of Truth said that drowning was too good for anyone who hurt a child (Luke 17:2).

More than that, the Man of Truth said that anyone who did not take care their parents in their old age should be executed (Matthew 15:3-4).  In fact, he demanded that people completely stop sinning (John 8:11).

The Man of Truth preached a gospel that demanded repentance from sin (Mark 1:14-15).  He said that a fate worse than death awaited for all who did not repent from sin (Mark 6:11-12).

The Man of Truth also called the Rabbis hypocrites who perverted the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) to teach their own commandments (Matthew 15:1-9).  He warned his followers to not allow others to call them “Rabbi” and not to act like the Rabbis who kept people from accepting the terms of peace offered by the Father of Truth (Matthew 23:7-13).

The Man of Truth also demands that the Gentiles to leave their worship of other gods or they too will be destroyed along with homosexuals, transgender people, adulterers , anyone who is having sex with anyone other than their spouse of the opposite sex, and those who got drunk on alcohol (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).  All of these as well those who commit murderer (including abortion) – Jew or Gentile – will be cast into the Lake of Fire to be tormented forever (Revelation 21:8).

So, whoever among the Jews who do not accept these terms of peace that the Father of Truth sent by the Man of Truth will be destroyed (Luke 21:22-24).  In like manner, all people who do not accept these terms of peace will be destroyed by the Man of Truth (Acts 17:30-31).

So, that all ethnic groups can have some saved, the Man of Truth has sent out the Children of Truth to bring these terms of peace to the Gentiles (Romans 10:13-17).  It is sweet smell of the life to those who accept these terms and the stench of death to those who reject them (2 Corinthians 2:14-16).

For this reason the Man of Truth has caused people to fight each other throughout the Earth (Matthew 10:34).  He has divided families against each other all over the Earth (Luke 12:51-53).

The Man of Truth is the most divisive man in history.  Not only have families divided over the conditions of peace that his Father demands, but everything from best friends to businesses to empires have divided over him.

The Man of Truth is nothing like many versions of American Jesus who will go along with sin to get along with sinners.  Instead he has demonstrated how to lose friends and irritate people.

So, how did there come to be so many versions of American Jesus?

The Man of Truth was brought to America as part of the legacy of the Pilgrims.  In fact, Christmas was illegal in every state of the United States until Alabama legalized it in 1834.

American Jesus were made by later European immigrants who sought to change America through a subtle influence.  Since the Man of Truth was the center of American society, they sought to make another Jesus that did not require them to accept the terms of peace offered by the Father of Truth or perish.

Indeed the Father of Truth drew near to America when America was drawing near to Him and will do so again if America will repent (James 4:8-10).  This is the only way to make America great again.

However, if America will not once again accept His terms of peace, then the death of America is certain.  If the Father of Truth destroyed Israel when they rejected His peace offer, then He will certainly do the same with America (Romans 2:9-11).

So, America must return to walking in truth with the Man of Truth.  This means recognizing that American Jesus is from the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil), since all lies are from him (John 8:44).

When Americans are keeping the Law of Truth then they become a wise and understanding people (Deuteronomy 4:5-6).  Since most American Children of Truth (those who obeys The Father of Truth because they love Him) have not read even read it, they do foolish things like Israel did when they quit reading and obeying it (Deuteronomy 32:28).

These foolish things include celebrating the birthday of the Man of Truth at Christmas and his resurrection on Easter Sunday.  The Father of Truth knew that they and other Gentile Children of Truth would do foolish things like this but He blessed them anyways to provoke the Jewish people (Romans 10:19).

However, American Jesus is now cursed for calling evil what the Father of Truth calls good and calling good what He calls evil (Isaiah 5:20).  This means that American Jesus must die and never be resurrected.

The American Children of Truth can be like the mensch who killed Christmas.  They can be more like the Man of Truth and celebrate Chanukah instead of Christmas because it’s not just a Jewish thing.

In your own life, you can kill the counterfeit American Jesus found in America and start following the genuine Man of Truth found in the Book of Truth.  You can accept the terms of peace that the Father of Truth offers through the Man of Truth.

Those terms require you to do everything the Man of Truth says because you love him (John 14:15).  Accepting these terms will cause the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) will live in you so you can keep the commandments of the Law of Truth (Romans 8:6-11).

If you will continue to do what the Man of Truth says, then he will free you from the grip of American Jesus (John 8:31-32).  Your part is to be willing to obey him in everything because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Queen of Heaven

Is Mary the Jew the Queen of Heaven?

Not only does the Book of Truth make it plain that Mary the Jew lived out the rest of her days in Jerusalem and died there, but so do other sources.

There have been continual commemorations of her burial near Jerusalem since at least 150 AD.  Both Islam and the False Church of Rome maintain what is reported to be her tomb in the Kidron Valley just outside of Israel.

This is also attested to in every historical writing concerning the death of Mary the Jew from 300 AD, including that of Epiphanius of Salamis.  However he did state that there were some who claimed that Mary the Jew came with John the Jew and died in Ephesus.  

When Hippolytus of Thebes wrote his chronology of the life of Mary the Jew in 650 AD based off earlier works that he had access to, he stated that she died eleven years after the Man of Truth in Jerusalem.

In fact, historians consistently agreed that Mary the Jew died in Jerusalem until 1819 AD.  

However, there has been an effort to change the location of her tomb to Ephesus since about three hundred years after her death.

However, Epiphanius of Salamis stated that same people who said she died in Ephesus were also leading others in worshiping Mary the Jew instead of the Man of Truth.  So, around 400 AD, they built the Church of Mary there on the supposed site of her house to convince people that Mary the Jew lived her final days in Ephesus.

In 1187 AD, followers of Islam gained control of what they believed to be the tomb of Mary the Jew but allowed the False Church of Rome to maintain and staff their church on it.  As a result, there was a revival of the story that Mary the Jew moved to Ephesus with John the Jew and died there.

In 1819 AD, a bedridden German Nun of the western leg of the False Church of Rome named Anne Catholic Emmerich started having visions of Mary the Jew.  She had these visions where Mary the Jew would tell her things about her life in Ephesus and her death there until Anne died in 1824 AD.

Her visions were published in book in 1852 AD.  These included some general descriptions of a house where Mary the Jew supposedly lived until her death.  There was also a general location given as well as a description of the terrain.

In 1881 AD, a house was found near Ephesus by a French priest of the western leg of the False Church of Rome based on the very generic descriptions given by Anne.  He named it the House of Mary.

In 1891 AD, a different house was found by a French nun and two priests of the western leg of the False Church of Rome based on the very generic descriptions given by Anne.  They were led to the ruins of this house by descendants of those who began the worship of Mary the Jew in Ephesus that Epiphanius of Salamis had warned against.  

These villagers called the ruins, "Doorway to the Virgin", but the nun and priests said that it was the real "House of Mary".

In 1896 AD, and again in 1961 AD, efforts were made by the popes of the western leg of the False Church of Rome to give legitimacy to the idea that Mary the Jew died in Ephesus instead of Jerusalem. 

Even followers of Islam have come to treat the House of Mary as a holy site, and some believe that Mary the Jew died there as well.  There is a statue of Mary the Jew wearing the crown of a queen outside of it.

Today, many historians of the False Church of Rome now favor Ephesus as where Mary the Jew died.  They ignore the historical records, included those found in the Renewed Covenant, and the archeological evidence that Mary the Jew died in Jerusalem.

Their only evidence is this house, which was never properly examined by archeologists before being renovated and shows no evidence that it existed before 300 AD.

Why has there been this push inside the False Church of Rome to convince people that Mary the Jew died in Ephesus instead of Jerusalem?

While part of the reason would be to make Mary the Jew seem less Jewish by having her spend her final days in Ephesus instead of Jerusalem, that is not the main reason.

Ephesus was famous as the world-wide headquarters for the worship of Diana (Acts 19:24-28).   The people of Ephesus were great in their enthusiasm in their worship of Diana (Acts 19:34-37).

Their enthusiasm was based on Diana being the Queen of Heaven.  

Ephesus was eventually destroyed completely due to their worship of the Queen of Heaven like Jerusalem had been for doing the same thing (Jeremiah 7:16-20).  The Ephesians had added this worship of the Queen of Heaven to their worship of the Father of Truth, just like the people of Jerusalem had done (Jeremiah 7:21-23).

Even after Ephesus was destroyed, their descendants still refused to stop their worship of the Queen of Heaven, just like the exiled people of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 44:15-19).  They refused to acknowledge that their worship of the Queen of Heaven had brought about their destruction, just like the exiled people of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 44:20-23).

So, the Father of Truth brought destruction upon their descendants until only a small village was left as a remnant to serve a warning against worshiping the Queen of Heaven, just like the remnant of those exiles who returned to the land of Israel (Jeremiah 44:24-28).

However, none of this deterred the False Church of Rome from giving the title of Diana, “Queen of Heaven”, to Mary the Jew later.

In 356 AD, the Temple of Diana - the Queen of Heaven - was completely destroyed by a Greek named Herostratus for the sole reason of making his name famous.  The worship of the Queen of Heaven ceased in Ephesus.

Shortly after that, Ephrem the Syrian, part of the False Church of Rome, began referring to Mary the Jew as the Queen of Heaven.

The idea was to transfer the very popular worship of Diana to Mary the Jew to bring idol worshipers into the False Church of Rome.  This plan was wildly successful.

To justify Mary the Jew being called the Queen of Heaven, the following argument was made:

King Solomon would do whatever his mother, Bathsheba, asked (1 Kings 2:17-20).   In like manner, the Man of Truth turned the water into wine when his mother, Mary the Jew, asked (John 2:3-10).

King Solomon even bowed down to his mother, Bathsheba, and had her sit at his right hand next to his throne (1 Kings 2:19).  In the same way, the Man of Truth was subject to his mother, Mary the Jew (Luke 2:48-51).

The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the Man of Truth (2 Timothy 4:18).  He is King of Kings who will bring the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth (Revelation 19:11-16).

Since the Man of Truth is the King of Heaven, then Mary the Jew, his mother is the Queen of Heaven.

However this argument does not consider all that is said in the Book of Truth (The Bible).

First, it assumes that Bathsheba was the Queen Mother.  The Hebrew word for the Queen Mother, "Gebira", is never used in connection with Bathsheba.

Secondly, it purports that the King was subject to the Queen Mother.  However, the Queen Mother was subject to her son the King and could be removed from office by him.

Third, it infers that because King Solomon had his mother sit at his right hand when she came to make a request of him, that Mary the Jew sits at the right hand of the Man of Truth as he rules in Heaven.  However, only the Father of Truth determines who will sit at the right hand of the Man of Truth and will not reveal that the Man of Truth rules on this Earth (Mark 10:35-40).

So, even though the Man of Truth is the King of Heaven, his mother Mary the Jew is not the Queen of Heaven ruling at his right hand.

The next argument that Mary the Jew was shown to be the Queen of Heaven to John the Jew on the Isle of Patmos.

John the Jew saw a woman appear in Heaven that had a crown made of twelve stars, who was clothed by the Sun and stood upon the Moon (Revelation 12:1).  This woman was pregnant and giving birth, but a Red Dragon was waiting to devour her son as soon as he was born (Revelation 12:2-4).

John the Jew then saw the woman give birth to a son who would rule the nations that was taken to Heaven, while the woman remained on the Earth and fled to the wilderness to escape the Red Dragon (Revelation 12:5-6).  Then Michael, the Chief Angel of Truth, led an army of the Angels of Truth against the Red Dragon and his army of Angels of Lies (Revelation 12:7).

The army of the Red Dragon was defeated and cast out of Heaven to Earth (Revelation 12:8-11).  This greatly angered the Red Dragon (Revelation 12:12).

So, the Red Dragon pursued the woman into the wilderness to destroy her, but she was rescued from him (Revelation 12:13-16).  Finally, the Red Dragon began to make war upon her children, who kept the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) and followed the Man of Truth (Revelation 12:17).

So, the False Church of Rome says this about this vision of John the Jew:

The woman was Mary the Jew, who was shown to be the Queen of Heaven by her crown and clothing.  That when the Man of Truth ascended to Heaven, she was also taken off this Earth to be with him.  Since she was out of reach of the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil), then he began persecuting the False Church of Rome, who are the children of the Queen of Heaven.

Again, using this vision to “prove” that Mary the Jew is the Queen of Heaven relies on ignoring the context of the passage itself as well as the rest of the Book of Truth.

If the woman was Mary the Jew in this passage, then she would not be the Queen of Heaven.  The woman in this passage was being persecuted on the Earth – not ruling in Heaven (Revelation 12:13).

We do not have to wonder about who the woman is.   

The first book of the Book of Truth tells us about the identity of this woman who is in the last book of the Book of Truth.

Joseph had a dream that the eleven sheaves of his brothers bowed down to his sheaf, which made twelve sheaves in all (Genesis 37:5-8).  In the same way, he had another dream where the eleven stars of his brothers, as well as the Sun and Moon bowed down to him, the twelfth star (Genesis 37:9).  The Sun and Moon represented Israel his father and his mother (Genesis 37:10-11).

So, this woman represents the Jewish people.

The Man of Truth was born from among the Jewish people (Micah 5:1-4).  He was born from among them through Mary the Jew (Matthew 1:1-16). 

The Father of Lies tried to destroy the Man of Truth after his birth through Herod the Great (Matthew 2:13).  The Man of Truth returned to Heaven while Mary the Jew and the rest of the Jewish people remained on the Earth (Acts 1:9-14).

Since that time, the Jewish people have been persecuted by those stirred up by the Father of Lies every place that they have fled to (Deuteronomy 28:64-67).  Yet, the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) have helped them escape this persecution (Ezekiel 11:16).

The Children of Truth are the brothers of the Man of Truth - the one who came from the Jewish people - because they do the will of the Father of Truth (Matthew 12:48-50).  The Children of Truth are also part of the family of the Jewish people - even those who remained uncircumcised Gentiles (Ephesians 2:11-13). 

For this cause, the Father of Lies has sought to destroy them as well (1 Peter 5:8-9).

However, there is in another woman in The Revelation that John the Jew was given: 

This Harlot has led kings and their kingdoms into fornication (Revelation 17:1-2).  She has been dressed in purple, precious metals, and jewels like a queen (Revelation 17:3-4).

This Harlot has ruled over these kings through her mystery religion that came from Babylon (Revelation 17:5).  She has been drunk on the blood of the Children of Truth (Revelation 17:6).

This Harlot sits upon seven hills (Revelation 17:9).  Her throne is the great city that ruled over Israel and many other kingdoms when John the Jew saw her (Revelation 17:18).

This Harlot controls a great number of people of various ethnic groups who speak many different languages throughout the Earth (Revelation 17:15).  However, the kings that she has ruled over will turn against this Harlot and kill her (Revelation 17:16). 

Who is this Harlot that John the Jew saw?

Like the kingdom of Israel, this Harlot committed harlotry by beautifying herself with the images like Assyria (Ezekiel 23:5-7).  Like the kingdom of Judah, this Harlot has followed after the mystery religion of Babylon (Ezekiel 23:14-17).

Like the city of Nineveh, the city of this Harlot has been a center of chariot races and great slaughtering of many people (Nahum 3:1-3).  Like King Manasseh, this Harlot has filled the beautiful place in her city that is dedicated to the Father of Truth with idols (2 Chronicles 33:15-16).

Like Nineveh, the Harlot has ruled over kingdoms and other ethnic groups through her mystery religion (Nahum 3:4). Like the Jewish people in the past, those who commit fornication with this Harlot will turn against her and kill her (Ezekiel 16:36-40).

It is not hard to see that this Harlot is the False Church of Rome.

The city of Rome is built on seven hills and ruled over many other kingdoms in the largest empire on Earth, including Israel, in the days of John the Jew.  The residency of the Pope is in the Lateran Palace on one of those hills, that was given to the Popes by the Roman Emperors when they took over the duties of running the Roman Universal (Catholic) religion.

The official headquarters of the False Church of Rome is built on the site of Nero’s Circus - where so many of the Children of Truth were killed that the ground became drunk with their blood (meaning there was more blood than it could drink in).  It was also used for chariot racing.

Even though, the Saint Peter Basilica is dedicated to the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), it is full of renamed Roman idols and images like those of the Queen of Heaven.

For centuries, the False Church of Rome ruled over many kingdoms. 

Kings of many kingdoms could not be coronated unless the False Church of Rome consented.  Otherwise, the other kingdoms ruled by the False Church of Rome would wage a holy war to replace them as the ruler of their kingdom.

These kings made the False Church of Rome the only allowed religion in their kingdoms to gain this support, so that the people in their kingdoms were ruled over by the False Church of Rome. The False Church of Rome then led their people in worshiping idols, even though they renamed the idols that Rome imported from Babylon and Assyria to things like “Jesus”, “Mary”, and the names of the Apostles of Truth.

The False Church of Rome continued to kill not only the Jewish people but also the Children of Truth throughout the centuries.  They did this on a large scale with events like the Crusades, the Inquisitions, and various Pogroms.

The western leg of the False Church of Rome even helped fund the Holocaust because Hitler promised to make them the official religion of the Third Reich. 

(The First Reich was the Western Roman Empire, and the Second Reich was the Holy Roman Empire – both had the False Church of Rome as their only allowed religion.  After denying this for decades, Pope John Paul II apologized for this after the documents of this agreement signed by Pope Pius were discovered in 1998.)

So, the False Church of Rome is this Harlot that worships the Queen of Heaven. 

The False Church of Rome parades image of the Queen of Heaven in processions for people to worship.  They have made cathedrals dedicated to Mary the Jew

The False Church of Rome has made statues of Mary the Jew all over the world.  They have created gardens where other statues kneel down in worship to the Queen of Heaven.

The False Church of Rome makes prayers to the Queen of Heaven.  They sing hymns to Mary the Jew.

The False Church of Rome has built universities dedicated to the Queen of Heaven.  In these institutions, they teach their religious professionals to reverence Mary the Jew.

The False Church of Rome has dedicated entire cites to the Queen of Heaven.  Even an English colony started by them in what became the United States was declared to belong to Mary the Jew.

The False Church of Rome created the Easter Controversy when they taught people to associate Resurrection Sunday with Easter - the Queen of Heaven.  They have led people into wishing each other “Happy Easter”, the day for honoring the Queen of Heaven, instead of “Happy Firstfruits”, the day when the Man of Truth rose from the grave.

Therefore, the False Church of Rome seeks to associate Mary the Jew with the Queen of Heaven worshiped in Ephesus by telling people she died there - or even ascended to Heaven from there.  (The Queen of Heaven worshiped in Ephesus supposedly came down from Heaven and returned there when her Temple in Ephesus was destroyed.)

However, Mary the Jew is not the Queen of Heaven!

However, Mary the Jew was not a perpetual virgin like the Queen of Heavens supposedly was.  There is no doubt that she fulfilled her marriage vows to Joseph the Jew and gave birth to at least six children that he begat.  These included James the son of Mary and his brother, Jude the son of Mary.

The truth is that the Book of Truth warns us against worshiping the Queen of Heaven.  Instead we are to worship the Father of Truth (John 4:21-22).

The truth is that the Book of Truth never tells us to worship Mary the Jew.  Instead we are to worship her son, the Man of Truth - because he is the son of the Father of Truth (Matthew 14:26-33).

The truth is that the Book of Truth never tells us to worship the Father of Truth through Mary the Jew.  Instead we are to worship the Father of Truth through the Spirit of Truth (John 4:23-24).

So, come into the House of Truth and worship like Mary the Jew did.

Make the Man of Truth the center of your life because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9-10).  Now is the time to surrender control of your life to the Man of Truth (2 Corinthians 6:2).  He alone is worthy of your worship because he shed his blood to save you (Revelation 5:9-14).

Come into the House of Truth!
