(1) Prophet Yahmarabhi led the Holy Assemblies of Yahoshea Meshiyach by the inspirations of Yahweh. All doctrines of the Assembly were according to revelations of Yahweh. (2) Many Ministries were created in the Assembly such as Council of Mosts, Prophetic council, Priests council (Levites), Council of Chosen one, council of YIC, Council of Meshiyachs, Council of Assistant Meshiyachs, Council of Disciples and Council of Students. There are baptized and unbaptised students, all the ministries have their different colours of costumes and all are written down in Holy Originally Inspired Scriptures. (3) Also there are Administrative offices such as, Leader General, Secretary General, Welfare General, World Teacher, Music Director as world officers while there are National Chairmen, State and Local Government Chairmen and Station Leaders. All these officers make up administrative council while all are being led by President General being Most Senior Prophet Yahmarabhi Ha Meshiyach. And at fullness of time Sole Administrator of Yahcity was appointed. (4) Behold, as Prophet Yahmarabhi arrived at Abonnema, he had revelation of Yahcity and he named Abonnema to be the Yahcity. But at the fullness of time, the assembly was driven away from the Briggs compound and the prophet relocated to Buguma city. (5) Behold, as he continue doing the work of Yahweh, a vast land was given to the Prophet at Buguma where he named the Yahcity. The land was given to the prophet for his Assembly work by Amanyanabor of Kalabari and his Council of Chiefs. (6) When all arrangements of Yahcity concluded between Prophet Yahmarabhi and King Abiye Suku- the Amanyanabor of Kalabari, a delegation from the King 1ed by his secretary was sent with Prophet Yahmarabhi to go and inspect the land. (7) Behold when they arrived at the land, the Prophet moved into the bush with the chiefs except one of them who refused to enter because it is acclaimed by natives that the bush is a bad one (8) In the bush, Prophet Yahmarabhi blessed the land as well as the entire Kalabari land and their king for handing over such vast land to the Assembly (9) The reason behind the King's decision to handing over the land to Prophet Yahmarabhi is because his late father who sat at the throne as Amanyanabo of Kalabari advised him to issue land to any religious group that will approach him for such, that if the religious organization is for good, they will flourish, but if they are of evil, they will vanish away. (10) Behold after consecrating the land with olive oil and prayers, the Prophet Yahmarabhi pined his walking stick at the land and his healing mantle tied on the walking stick. He left the walking staff there and in company of the delegates they came back to Buguma town (11) Behold, many things happened when Prophet Yahmarabhi Ha Meshiyach led Assembly hired workers to clear the thick bush of Yahcity. There were a lot of reactions at Buguma town especially in regards to the Amanyanabo of Kalabari who took ill during the clearing time (12) People went about with rumours that the Assembly through the Prophet has chased away the earthbound spirits in the bush and they have ran down to Buguma town, and that the expelled earthbound spirits were responsible for the Amanyanabo's sickness. (13) But the Prophet assured the people that the Amanyanabo will not die until when the Assembly properly own up Yahcity. And this pronouncement came to pass because after that statement, the king recovered and was supportive to the Assembly's effort or work at Yahcity. (14) Prophet Yahmarabhi warned the hired workers who were to cut the bushes to respect all lives that they will encounter there. Meaning that they were not allowed to kill anything even if it is a snake. But if they keep to the instruction, that nothing can harm them. (15) One fateful day, there came to be quarrel between two of the workers. Their disagreement reached to the level of fighting. On that note, one of them took up his cutlass in order to butcher the other, as he raised his hand with the matchete, his hand hooked or hanged on the air, and a voice came from above and said- (16) “why do you intend to kill someone here?” “Don't you know that here is a holy land?” After this voice, the man's hand released and he brought it down. What happened made them to halt work that day and came down to Port Harcourt to see Prophet Yahmarabhi to narrate what they saw. According to the workers, the voice they heard was exactly the voice of Prophet Yahmarabhi even when he was at Port Harcourt. Then they marveled over what they saw and became cautious over the land. (17) Then, the Prophet prayed for them and they went back to Yahcity to continue their work. Behold again, as the workers were right inside clearing the bush, thieves stole their boat which they anchored by the riverside. So after the days work, they came out to enter the boat only to see that the boat was no more there. They were highly worried about the occurrence, they begged other passersby who took them to Buguma and they ran down to Port Harcourt to inform Prophet Yahmarabhi over the development. (18) Then prophet Yahmarabhi went to see the owner of the boat who expressed disappointment over the loss of the boat. Then the prophet begged the owner of the boat to give him one week interval for the search of the boat, but if the boat is no where to be seen, then both people will come together to discuss about the lost boat. (19) Prophet Yahmarabhi prayed for the boat to come out no matter where it was at that time. The thieves took the boat to a man that transacts on boat business. As the boat was very new, the boat businessman was interested to buy it. (20) After negotiating of the price with the thieves, he entered into his inner room to bring out money for the payment. But the buyer met his great surprise for seeing a very fat and long snake that tied round his saving box where he went to collect the money from. The buyer ran outside his house and shouted over what he saw. (21) He told the thieves to carry their boat away that he was no more interested in buying it. The thieves took the boat from one buyer to the other till they were caught. The thieves were caught on the fifth day as prophet demanded from the owner of the boat. So on the sixth day, the boat was sent back to the owner who marveled because according to him, the boat was a new one and he has never written any name on it, and that will make it to loose easily. (22) And it to come to pass that on one faithful day, Prophet Yahmarabhi want to go to Yahcity to inspect the level of work going on there. As he arrived at the terminal to enter boat to Buguma, behold there was a boat which has only one chance or seat to be filled. As the Prophet arrived the terminal, the cloud changed and rain began to threaten. As the Prophet wanted to enter into the boat, the loader advised him to stay back because the remaining seat cannot be covered by the tarpaulin that will protect him from the rain. (23) But Prophet insisted and entered to occupy the seat without minding the rain and they covered all other passengers remaining the last seat occupied by Prophet Yahmarabhi. The boat took off under the heavy rain to Buguma town. (24) But behold, on reaching to Buguma, they came down to discover that Prophet Yahmarabhi although seated without coverage was never soaked with water. His clothes were as dried as those seated under the canopy. (25) When People saw this, they marveled and some even followed him unto his apartment at Buguma to be sure if really he was a human being. (26) It came to pass that as the Assembly started clearing Yahcity, a certain member of the Assembly who was working suffered termination of job from his employer. According to his employer, no human being can undergo the clearing of that bush which everybody assumes to be a bad or evil forest. So if his worker is a member of such Assembly that cleared the bush, means that his worker is not an ordinary human being. (27) The Assembly member begged his employer but he refused to take him back. Shortly after the incidence, the employer and his wife died in the same night without any of them having any form of complain of ill health before that night. (28) Many mysterious things happened at Yahcity, and those things goes far away to signify that Yahcity is the handwork of Yahweh. Again, it came to pass that another man was sent to uproot some trees at Yahcity. On reaching there, he saw a small snake and killed it. As he raised his matchet again to cut off something, his hand hanged on the air and the matchet was mysteriously directed or forced on his stomach but as he shouted, he was released. (29) Then he ran back to Port Harcourt to lay complain over what happened and he was warned not to kill any thing he come across at Yahcity, as he obeyed he went back and finished his work without any form of harm. (30) The Assembly was full of miracles and wonders. There came to be a time when a member of the Assembly at Omoku station was arrested arbitrarily by policeman. When the family cannot effect his release after all their efforts, they came to inform prophet Yahmarabhi who promise them that Yahweh must release the man (31) It came to pass that Prophet Yahmarabhi mysteriously appeared at the police station on a very high police officer's uniform. The whole policemen in the station saluted him and he went up to the Divisional Police Officer (D.P.O) and complained that the man held in the police cell was his son. So the D.P.O immediately ordered for the file of the Assembly member and released him without any gratification. (32) Then the prophet saw that they brought the member out of the police cell and he was released to go home. That ended the case up till today. (33) One of the sons of Prophet Yophiah of Omoku branch by name Chosen Noah had a problem for non-bearing of male child. All his children were girls. So he approached the prophet with the problem who prayed for him and right from that day, he started bearing male children. Before the prophets journey, he have bore three male children (34) Whatever Prophet Yahmarabhi prays for will have a positive result. It is equally on record that when he was a contractor with Shell Oil Company, he was in position of hiring boats to convey Shell workers daily to their working locations. One day, there came to be one high officer that was to be conveyed to a location and Prophet Yahmarabhi was directed to go and look for boat immediately in order to convey the expatriate. (35) As he moved to look for boat to hire, he couldn't see any. And if he fails, he will face the risk of losing the contract. Then as he moved from place to place looking for boat, he met a man with a grounded boat. The boat has not been at work for some years because it had engine problem. (36) The Prophet told the owner to allow him to start the engine, but the owner complained that the engine was not in working condition. But the prophet started to try to kick-start the engine. (37) Even the owner joined him to start the engine but the engine refused to start, when the owner of the boat became tired, he left prophet with the engine. Then the prophet laid on top of the damaged engine and offered prayer to Yahweh because according to him, if there was no boat to convey the expatriate he may loose his job (38) After that prayer, he drew the engine and it responded or started. The owner of the boat on hearing the sound of the boat ran down to see that his boat has started. Then the prophet cleaned the boat, went and hired a driver and took the boat to work and met up the required challenge. (39) Behold a certain woman has a problem of losing her babies immediately she reconceives. Meaning that if she has a child, the child will die when she conceives again. This thing happened for three consecutive times and on her fourth child, she heard that Prophet Yahmarabhi will have mass mobilization at their home. She then attended the gathering. (40) At the gathering, she met Prophet Yahmarabhi and laid her complain to him. Behold Prophet Yahmarabhi advised her to hand over the living baby to the Assembly. The woman complied and handed the baby to Assembly and left to her home (41) After that period, she delivered the next child safely while the child with Prophet Yahmarabhi didn't die as usual. So the woman continued to bear children safely up to six times and none died again. (42) Again a certain woman with her two sons ran mad at the same time. They were all taken to the Assembly for healing. After the prophet's prayer, they recovered but the prophet instructed them not to go back to their home for the period because their problem was from their home town. (43) While both sons of the woman abide in the instructions of the prophet, the woman disobeyed the order and her own madness came back on her in a more full force. (44) Everything the Prophet did were miraculous, and it came to pass that on one Sabbath day, as the Assembly was observing the Sabbath rest as its tradition and Prophet Yahmarabhi was delivering the sermon to the people. He called upon a woman in the midst of the Assembly to stand up. (45) The prophet said that the woman divorced her husband because of child bearing, he them advised the woman to go back to her husband because Yahweh has heard her prayers. He told her that Yahweh would give her a newborn baby if she goes back to her husband. The woman agreed with the prophet and went back to her husband. It was surprising that in a year period, the woman came to the Assembly with her newborn baby for dedication. (46) People who saw what happened marveled. These miracles made people to believe that he is the comforter of mankind. (47) Again a certain lady came to Prophet Yahmarabhi Ha Meshiyach and complained that she has taken school certificate examination for three times, but in all the occasions the results were ceased. So she pleaded with Prophet Yahmarabhi to help her with prayers in the forth-coming examination which she was about to take (48) Then Prophet Yahmarabhi told her that a certain force was responsible for the seizures and adviced her to come to the Assembly and do fasting from the day the examination will start till seven days while others were in the examination hall. (49) The lady agreed and came to Assembly hall to do fasting while the examination was going on. When the results came out, she had marvelous result in all the subjects both for those she didn't took and those she took (50) Again a woman by name Adinne had mysterious sickness that defiled all treatments. But behold one of the followers of Prophet Yahmarabhi owed her debt. So the sickness held the woman that she saw that she could no more continue in life. So she decided to go to all her debtors to collect all her debts so that even if she dies, the money should be used to do her burial activities. (51) She taught in that manner because she had no surviving child to take care of her during death. Her last son disappeared without trace. So when she arrived at the Assembly hall to collect her debt, a certain voice whispered to her that she could be cured here. (52) She looked back only to see the Assembly wall, and the voice repeated twice again that made her to ask her debtor of what they use to do there. The debtor who is a member told her that we use to worship Yahweh the Grand Creator through Yahoshea Meshiyach here. She believed in the names immediately and accepted to be a member. (53) After her baptism, she went to see Prophet Yahmarabhi who offered prayer to her and the sickness left her and she became will. Then the prophet told her that her lost son was still alive and will come back one day. Then after twenty years, the lost boy came back to meet his mother. (54) Many of the converts came through one problem or another. One of the strong disciples was an only son of an only son. The only son syndrome was seen as evil omen amongst his home or clan. So when he was about to marry, mysterious sickness came upon him. All his efforts to cure the sickness met with no success. (55) So with that sickness he married and had a son. The sickness persisted that he thought that he must die. But one day he had a dream where he was directed to look for the people of Yahweh. (56) He searched for the people of Yahweh for nearly two years before he was led to Holy Assemblies of Yahoshea Meshiyach. There, he accepted Yahweh and believed that Prophet Yahmarabhi is the Comforter of mankind. The Prophet prayed for him and he became well and after six years he had his second son and between another six years he had another three sons making upto five sons. (57) His townsmen were all surprised over the increase because what his fathers couldn't achieve with money and marriage of many wives was achieved with the name of Yahweh and by following of Prophet Yahmarabhi (58) For seeing what Yahweh did for him, he held Yahweh firmly and was part of good works for Yahweh (59) Child bearing and delivery in the Assembly was as easy as anything, some deliver even as members were enjoying feasts, some deliver on their homes. Some of the women who deliver through surgical operations before convertion to the Assembly starts to deliver safely immediately they become members. (60) Members whose delivery seem to be tough will only send for Prophet Yahmarabhi who prays for them in his house and sometimes sends olive oil or blessed handkerchief to them and they deliver safely.

Is Sunday Rest Scriptural?
History bore that the Sabbath rest was transferred from the seventh day (Saturday) to Sunday by Emperor Constantine on March 7, 321 AD. The edict bear the following condition. “Let all the judges and town people, and the occupations of all trades rest on the venerable day of the sun”. This edict is found in the book known as (Corpus Juris Civiles Cod, Lib 3, titiz, lex3.
Again the book “ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANICA” with the article “SUNDAY” supported it as follows: “The earliest recognition of the observation of Sunday as a legal duty is a constitution of Constantine in 321 AD. The edict stipulated that all courts of justice, inhabitants of towns, and workshops were to be at rest on Sunday (Venerabili die Solis) with an exception in favour of those engaged in agricultural labour”.
Presently, millions of Conscientious Christians attend church every Sunday, the first day of the week. They do so believing that somewhere, somehow, someone changed the day of worship. Either that, or they are not aware that Yahweh set aside the seventh day (Sabbath) not the first day of the week as his holy day.
The question that Christians must answer is, are we to follow the order of Yahweh in his scriptures or to follow the edict of Emperor Constantine, a pagan Roman King of the fourth century AD?
For clearity of the subject matter on who changed the Sabbath (seventh day) to Sunday rest let us go through these listings of comments by churches, councils, leaders and scholars. This will aid us to know if the church has deceived mankind or are they representing Yahoshea Meshiyach and his disciples who on their days kept Sabbath day rest.
1. CATHOLICISM SPEAKS:
“Sunday is a Catholic institution and its claim to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles... from beginning to end of scriptures, there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first” CATHOLIC PRESS, SYDNEY AUSTRALIA, AUGUST 1900.
2. PROTESTANTISM
PROTESTANTISM in discarding the authority of the Roman Catholic Church has no good reason for its Sunday theory, and aught logically to keep Saturday as Sabbath” John Gilmary Shea, IN THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC QUARTER REVIEW, January 1883.
3. “It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists and all other Christians that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observances of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of Roman Catholic Church and those who observe the day, observe the commandment of the Catholic Church” Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, NJ News of March 18, 1903.
4. “QUESTION- Have you any other way of proving that the Catholic Church has power to institute festivals of precepts (to command holy days?”
“Answer- Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her. She could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the seventh day, a change for which there is no scriptural authority” Stephen Keeran, DOCTRINAL CATECHISM P.176.
5. Reason and Common sense demand the acceptance of one or the other of these two alternatives, either Protestantism and the keeping holy of Saturday or Catholicity and the keeping holy of Sunday compromise is impossible THE CATHOLIC MIRROR, December 23, 1893.
6. “God simply gave his Catholic Church the power to set aside whatever day or days she would deem suitable as Holy days. The church chooses Sunday, the first day of the week, and in the course of time added other days as Holy days “Vincent J. Kelly FORBIDDEN SUNDAY AND FEAST DAY OCCUPATION. P. 2
7. “Protestants... accepts Sunday rather than Saturday as the day for public worship after the Catholic church made the change... But the Protestants mind does not seem to realize that in accepting the Bible, in observing the Sunday, they are accepting the authority of the spokesman of the church- The Pope, OUR SUNDAY VISITOR, February 5, 1950.
8. “Not the creator of the universe in Genesis 2:1 3,- but the Catholic church can claim the honour of having granted man a pause to his work every Sunday. S.C Mosna, STORIA DELLE DOMENICA 1969, Pp 366, 367.
9. “If Protestants would follow the Bible, they should worship God on the Sabbath day, in keeping the Sunday, they are following the law of the Catholic church” Albert Smith 1920.
10. “We define that the Holy Apostle See (the Vatican) and the Roman Pontiff hold the primacy over the whole world”. A decree of the Council of Trent “THE MOST HOLY COUNCILS 1967.”
11. “It was the Catholic Church by the authority of Jesus Christ, has translated this rest from the Bible Sabbath to the Sunday. Thus the observance by the Protestants is an homage they pay, inspite of themselves to the authority of Catholic Church” Monsignor Louis Segur PLAIN TALK ABOUT THE PROTESTANTISM OF TODAY, P213.
12. “We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday”- Peter Geleman, A DOCTRINAL CATECHIAM 1957 edition P. 80.
13. “We Catholic then, have precisely the same authority of keeping Sunday holy instead of Saturday as we have for every other article of our creed, namely the authority of the church... whereas you who are Protestants have really no authority for it whatever for. There is no authority for it (Sunday sacredness) in the Bible, and you will not allow that there can be authority for it anywhere else” THE BROTHER OF SAINT PAUL.
14. “The Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of the divine infallible authority given to her by the founder Jesus Christ. The Protestants claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith has no warrant to observing Sunday, in this matter, the Seventh Day Adventist is the only consistent protestants” THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSAL AUGUST 14, 1942 P.4.
PROTESTANTISM SPEAKS
15. BAPTIST” There was and is a command to keep holy the Sabbath day, but that Sabbath was not Sunday, it will however be readily said, and with some show of triumph, that the Sabbath was transferred from seventh to the first day of the week, with all its duties, privileges and sanctions. Earnestly desiring information on this subject, which i have studied for many years. I ask, where can the record of such a transaction be found? Not in the New Testament, absolutely not. There is no scriptural evidence of the change of the Sabbath institution from the seventh to the first day of the week- Dr. E. T Hiscon Author of the Baptists Manual.
16. CONGRETIONALIST S: “It is quite clear that however rigidly or devotedly we may spend Sunday, we are not keeping Sabbath. The Sabbath was found on a specific divine command, we can plead no such command by the observance of Sunday... there is not a single line in the New Testament to suggest that we incur any penalty by violating the supposed sanctity of Sunday” Dr. W. Dale:- THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Pp 106 107.
17. PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL: “The day is now changed from the seventh to the first day... But as we meet with no scriptural direction for the change we may conclude, it was done by the authority of the church”. THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL EXPLANATION OF CATECHISM.
18. BAPTIST: “The scriptures nowhere called the first day of the week the Sabbath... there is no scriptural authority for such doing, nor of course any scriptural obligation” THE WATCHMAN.
19. PRESBYTARIAN: “There is no word to hint in the New Testament about abstaining from work on Sunday, the observance of Ash Wednesday or Lent stands exactly on the same footing as the observance of Sunday into the rest of Sunday, no divine law enters “CANON EYTON TEN COMMANDMENTS.
20. ANGLICAN “And where are we told in the scripture that we are to keep the first day of at all? We are commanded to keep the seventh, but we are no where commanded to keep the first day”. ISAAC WILLAMS PLAIN SERMONS ON THE CATECHIMS Pp 334, 336.
21. METHODIST “It is true that there is no positive command for infant baptism, Nor is there any for keeping holy the first day of the week. Many believe that Christ changed the Sabbath. But from his own words, we see that he came for no such purpose. Those who believe that Jesus changed the Sabbath base it only on a supposition: Ames Binney, THEOLOGICAL COMPEDIUM pp 180,181.
22. EPISCOPORAL “We have made the change from the seventh to the first day, from Saturday to Sunday, on the authority of the one holy Catholic Apostolic Church of Christ. Bishop Seymour WHY WE KEEP SUNDAY.
23. SOUTHERN BAPTIST “The sacred name of the seventh day is Sabbath. The fact is too clear to require argument (Exodus 20:10) on this point the plain teaching of the world has been admitted in all ages. Not once did the disciples apply Sabbath law to the first day of the week, that folly was left for a latter age, nor did they pretend that the first day supplanted the seventh” Joseph Judson Taylor. THE SABBATH QUESTION pp 14 17,41.
24. AMERICAN CONGREGATIONALI ST: “The current notion that Christ and his apostles authoritatively substituted the first day for the seventh, is absolutely without any authority in the New Testament”. Dr. Lyman Abbort. IN THE CHRISTIAN UNION, June 26, 1980.
25. CHRISTIAN CHURCH: “Now there is no testimony in all the oracles of heaven that the Sabbath is changed, or that the Lords day came in the room of it. Alexander Campbell. THE REPORTER OCTOBER 8, 1921.
26. DISCIPLES OF CHRIST: “There is no direct scriptural authority for designating the first day “THE LORD’S DAY” Dr. D. H LUCAS CHRISTIAN ORACLE Jan 23, 1980.
27. BAPTIST: “ To me it seems unaccountable that Jesus, during three years of discussion with his disciples, often conversing upon the Sabbath question discussing it in some of its various aspects, freeing it from its (Jews tradition) glosses, never allotted to any transference of the day, also no such thing was intimated nor so far as we know, did the spirit which was given to bring to their remembrance all things whatsoever that he has said unto them, deal with this question, nor yet did the inspired apostles, in preaching the gospel, founding churches, counselling and instructing those founded, discuss or approach the subject.
Of course i quite well know that it did not come into use in early Christian history as a religious day, as we learn from the Christian fathers and other sources. But what a pity that it come branded with the mark of paganism and Christened with the name of the sun god, then adopted and sanctified by the papal apostasy and bequeathed as a sacred legacy to Protestantism. Dr. E. II. Hiscox SERMON at the
Baptist Ministers Conversion New York Examiner November 16, 1893.
Iniquity shall abound for a while but truth must certainly destroy it. Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness.
One of the interesting questions to Christendom is- Sunday rest, is it Church deception? Let us start answering through the listings of comments from various churches and scholars.
Baptist: - “There is nothing in the scriptures that requires us to keep Sunday rather than Saturday as a holy day” Harold Lindsell, former editor of “Christianity Today” November 5, 1976.
Episcopal “The Bible commandment says on the seventh day thou shall rest. That is Saturday. Nowhere in the Bible is it laid down that worship should be done on Sunday,” Philip Carrington, Toronto Daily Star October 26, 1949.
Methodist “The reason we observe the first day instead of the seventh is based on no positive command. One will search the scriptures in vain for authority for changing from the seventh day to the first” - Clovis G. Chappell, Ten Rules For Living pg 61.
Catholic: - “We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because of Catholic church in the Council of Necea, transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday” The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, third edition, pg 50.
With these listings above, a seeker must realize that Sunday sacredness is a human made obligation imposed on the church by the state of Rome, adopted on the Council of Necea in 325 AD.
In the book captioned “History of the Sabbath”, pg. 802 by Father Enright, CSSR of the Redemptoral College Kansas city explained it this way “The Bible says, “Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day”, The Catholic Church says, No, By my divine power, I abolish the Sabbath day, and command you to keep the first day of the week. And so, the entire civilized world bows in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church”.

Yahosheans Celebrates The Feast Of First Fruits
Holy Assemblies of Yahoshea
Meshiyach observes the festival of the First Ingathering today 5th of June 2017.
The observation is in line with
the doctrines and dogma of the movement of Yahosheanism; a religious sect that
sues for the restoration of all holy percept as originally set by Yahweh.
The movement was formed in
Nigeria in 1960 by Most Senior Prophet Yahmarabhi Ha Meshiyach whom the sect
recognises as the promised Comforter of mankind.
Through the inspiration of
Yahweh, the Prophet wrote down the Holy Originally Inspired Scriptures which
carried all revelations of Yahweh covenanted to humanity.
The Feast of the First Fruit was
an ancient festival observed by the Hebrew nation before the first advent of
Yahoshea Meshiyach. The Hebrew Meshiyach observed the feast and when he ascended;
his followers observed it and therein received the edifying spirit for their
operatives.
When the Greeks became part of
the followership, they changed the name to bear “Pentecost” meaning “fifty”.
This term was drawn from the ancient tradition of the Hebrews that holds fifty days
after the Passover day as the day of the Feast of First Ingathering. Yahosheans
of Prophet Yahmarabhi’s era observed the festival on 5th of June annually.
The feast is aimed at giving
thanks to Yahweh and enjoying of the first harvests of the year and as well as
praying for the well being of all members and mortals who will enjoy the first
harvests.
