THE OLD JERUSALEM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR TRUE CHRISTIANS!! THE ONLY SACRED SITE FOR TRUE CHRISTIANS IS THE EMPTY TOMB ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES!! |
The Jewish Messiah spent only ONE NIGHT of his entire 3.5-year ministry in the city of Jerusalem . . . and that was in PRISON!
The Jewish Messiah said that Old Jerusalem would be trodden down by the nations until the end of time, and Saint John in the Apocalypse called Old Jerusalem Sodom and Egypt:
And their dead bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified (Apocalypse 11:8, Douay-Rheims Version).
Only 5 years after the death of the False Prophet Mohammed, Caliph Omar conquered Jerusalem, and he built a MOSQUE on the site of the totally demolished Jewish Temple.
 A MOSQUE has occupied the Jewish Temple site since 637. |
|
 A MOSQUE has occupied the Resurrection site since 1187. |
After the mosque was erected on the most holy place, the disciples of Mohammed began "praying" to Alllah. The stage was set for the third abomination when a rabble rousing monk named Peter the Hermit led the First Crusade.
 Pope Urban II (1035–1099). Pope from 1088 to 1099. |
|
 Pope Urban III. Pope from 1185 to Oct. 20, 1187. |
Peter the Hermit's battle cry was Deus Vult (God Wills It). When the Crusaders finally captured Jerusalem in July 1099, they butchered all the inhabitants.
When the Crusaders finally captured the city, a terrible slaughter ensued, with figures for the dead ranging from 10,000 to 70,000. Nobody was spared, old men, women, and children were all butchered in cold blood. After the slaughter, Baldwin of Boulogne (1060–1118) was crowned king of Jerusalem. There were no "Jews" around back then to contest his claim!
In 1187, Terrible Turk Sultan Saladin erected a mosque on the site where the Jewish Messiah rose from the dead.
 Pope Gregory VIII. Pope from Oct. to Dec. 1187. |
|
 Pope Clement III (1130–1191). Pope from Dec. 1187 to 1191. |
As expected, the winner of the Third Crusade was Sultan Saladin, who defeated the Crusaders, and as revenge, built a mosque on the very site of Holy Golgotha!
JEHOVAH gave Moses an accurate lunisolar calendar!
The sun and moon were created by JEHOVAH on the fourth day to be our timekeepers. They are like the 2 hands of a clock. Imagine a clock with just one hand and you have the Gregorian-Islamic calendar.
Here is how the real Jews calculated the date for Passover—the most important feast day on their calendar.

When the Israelites were fleeing from Egyptian bondage, they had the pillar of fire to lighten the night. It was also at the time of the FULL MOON and that gave additional light to Moses and the Israelites.

The Resurrection of Christ is the fulfillment of the Exodus from Egypt and
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to Elohim, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power (I Corinthians 15:22-24).
No date is given for this great event but plenty of hints are given for those who dig deeper:
For my husband is not at home, he is gone a very long journey. He took with him a bag of money: he will return home the day of the full moon (Proverbs 7:19-20, Douay-Rheims Version).
Jerome copied that verse correctly from the Old Latin Version because the Hebrew word kehseh means full moon while most other versions say that He will come back at the appointed time.
Joshua of Nazareth quoted that verse almost verbatim in one of His parables:
For the Son of Man is as a man taking a long journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch (Mark 13:34).
The 3 greatest events in the 6000 year history of the world are:

JEHOVAH told Moses that the Exodus was to be the BEGINNING of the year from that time onward. Our useless Gregorian calendar has the new year starting in the dead of winter.
Emperor Jesus Constantine changed the Time and Place of the Resurrection!
Both the time and place of the Resurrection was changed by Emperor Constantine . . . with a lot of help and advice from his wife/mother, Helena Augusta.

That was the site of the Resurrection BC–Before Constantine:
Believers in JOSHUA all congregate from all parts of the world....that they may worship at the MOUNT OF OLIVES opposite the city....TO THE CAVE that is shown there. (Eusebius, Proof of the Gospel, Bk. VI. ch. 18).
Only 50 days after the Resurrection on the Mount of Olives, the Messianic kingdom, that was predicted by ALL the Old Covenant prophets, was officially inaugurated on the Day of Pentecost:
St. Cephas said:
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that JEHOVAH had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, neither his flesh did see corruption. This JOSHUA hath Elohim raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of Elohim exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear (Acts 2:29-33).
After receiving the Holy Spirit, Saint Cephas understood perfectly that the Messiah's kingdom was not of this world but a spiritual reign from His throne in Heaven.
The Church of the "Holy" Sepulchre was the site chosen by Empress Helena!
When the Romans finally conquered Jerusalem in 135 A.D., as an insult to the Jews, they built a Temple of Venus over a monument to a Jewish freedom fighter named John Hyrcanus.
Venus was worshipped by filthy rites which included temple prostitutes and Sodomites.
This "gloomy shrine of lifeless idols" was the site which Constantine later chose to built his Church of the "Holy" Sepulchre:
This sacred cave, then, certain impious and godless persons had though to remove entirely from the eyes of men, supposing in their folly that thus they should be able effectually to obscure the truth. Accordingly they brought a quantity of earth from a distance with much labor, and covered the entire spot; then, having raised this to a moderate height, they paved it with stone, concealing the holy cave beneath this massive mound. Then, as though their purpose had been effectually accomplished, they prepared on this foundation a truly dreadful sepulchre of souls, by building a gloomy shrine of lifeless idols to the impure spirit whom they call Venus, and offering detestable oblations therein on profane and accursed altars. For they supposed that their object could not otherwise be fully attained, than by thus burying the sacred cave beneath these foul pollutions. (Eusebius, Life of Constantine, chapter 26).
Eusebius knew that this was not the site of the Resurrection, but he had to FLATTER Constantine and PRETEND that it was the right location in order to ensure the survival of any of his historical writings.

 The fake Golgotha or tomb of Joshua. |
There was indeed something "supernatural" about that site because more wars have been fought over it than any other place on earth.
Thousands of SKULLS were smashed fighting over the fake Golgotha!
Beginning in 1095 with the first Crusade, a lot of skulls have been smashed to rescue the "Holy Sepulchre," or fake Golgotha, from the infidels. The most diabolical of all was the Children's Crusade launched by Pope Innocent III.

Most of the modern version translate Calvary as SKULL. Here is the description of the crucifixion according to the Latin Vulgate Version:
And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary (Mark 15:22, Matthew 27:33, Douay-Rheims Version).
Mickey Mouse "translator" and "doctor" of the church Jerome didn't know that proper names are the same in every language. Most modern versions slavishly follow Jerome and translate GOLGOTHA as SKULL:
And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull (Mark 15:22, New King James Version).
The Hebrew word GOLGOTHA means HEAD . . . not a SKULL. This is stated 6 times in the Old Covenant:
Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, by their heads (Heb. golgoleth). (Numbers 1:2, 1:18, 1:20, 1:22, I Chr. 23:3, 23:24).
JEHOVAH didn't tell Moses to count SKULLS . . . he told him to count heads. The Mount of Olives was the POLLING PLACE where the Jews counted HEADS for the census. It had nothing to do with SKULLS or the dead. Unfortunately, the spiritually dead Muslims and Catholics have been smashing each other's SKULLS for centuries over that fake Golgotha.
Hibernian (Irish) missionary rebuked the Pope for changing the date of Passover/Resurrection!
The Hibernian Christians received their Christianity from St. Patrick and he was a member of the British Congregation founded by the Apostle Paul around 60 A.D. Copies of the Latin translation of 150 A.D. survived in Britannia, and that was the version that St. Patrick brought to Hibernia. Viking ravages, and the Norman invasion of 1140, destroyed all copies except for the few remaining the Secret Archives of the Vatican.
Everywhere the HIbernian saints preached the Gospel of Christ, they were followed by the Roman monks, who insisted on their following the corrupt computation of Pope Constantine. It was the greatest controversy of the Dark Ages. Here is an excerpt from a letter to Pope Gregory from that great Hibernian missionary, Saint Columban of Bobbio:
What is your opinion," he asks, "of an Easter celebrated on the 21st or 22nd moon, which many calculators have shown to be a dark Easter? For I believe it cannot be unknown to your Holiness how disparagingly Anatolius, whom Jerome calls a man of wondrous learning, and whom Eusebius of Caesarea quotes in his Ecclesiastical History, speaks of this age of the moon." It was unchristian, Columban argues, to keep Easter later than the 20th day after the new moon, because according to Holy Scripture," the Feast of the Passover should be observed only between the 14th and 20th day after the new moon; it was a crime to celebrate the resurrection of the Lord at a time when darkness was more powerful than light, for after the 20th of the lunar month the moon does not rise till after midnight; it was absurd to celebrate Easter on the 23rd or 24th of March, for, as the vernal equinox falls on 25 March and Christ died after this equinox, that would be to commemorate the Resurrection before the Passion.(Metlake, The Life and Writings of Saint Columban, p.132).
The correct date for Passover/Resurrection was always a burning issue for Christians from the very beginning.
