my Name is David and this is my story:
Since my childhood I was taught the Gospel and encouraged to read my bible from the beginning to the end. Back then "from the beginning to the end" meant from Genesis to Revelation. However, today there are many more books included in my "spiritual treasury".
In 2002 while on vacation, YHWH told my mother the unexpected. She was enjoying the breath of the sea and the sound of the waves. All in All she was very happy and satisfied, just living the moment. Then out of nowhere she heard a gentle voice inside her saying: "Life as you know it will change drastically in the upcoming years". Of course she was shocked and did not know what that meant. Later that year YHWH also told her that he wants us to leave the "institutional church", because they were not teaching the whole truth there and it would harm us in our spiritual walk. My parents always went to church, so that was not an easy task for them, but they obeyed. We (me and my two siblings) were quite young at that time and not yet ready to receive strong bread. We had an basic understanding of the Gospel and believed that Jesus died for us and was raised from the dead and is now reigning to the Right Hand of The Father, but of course we were still children and had other interests.
So we were raised spiritually from home until I was mature enough to engage with YHWH and His Word (both the written word and His Son). I knew that my parents had left "institutional church" and I knew the reason. But I never was one of those people who just accept the testimony of other people without having confirmation on my part. YHWH called me in 2010, that was the year where I was truly saved. The upcoming years were marked by a mixture of strong spiritual growth, a multitude of disasters and true deliverance. YHWH showed me all kings of congegrations and denominations. I can truly say: "I have seen it all".
- Baptist Church
- Mennonites
- SDA
- Pentecostalism
- Charismatic Church
- African Congegrations
- Messianic Judaism
- House Churches
After a devastating experience I went through, I left the whole "Church System" behind and "tried" the World. However, The Spirit of the Most High never left me. Looking back, I can see the traces of His Spirit and His Hand resting on me even in my darkest times. I became addicted to so many things, especially weed. This one almost ruined me. I am so grateful that YHWH had mercy on me, because I think if he returned just slightly below 2 years ago, I would not have made it. I living so far away from him, full of sins, bond in chains of darkness by satan. In no means I considered myself free. No, I was bound 100%. My life was horrible and I get chills when I think about my past life.
As I said YHWH had mercy on me, because he chose me before I was born. He loved me, before I could ever love him. That is manifest in my life. Although I was so far away from him because of my sins, he was always close by me, because the Blood of The Lamb was shed for me and for everyone that should come to faith.
I think most of us know the "Narnia Series". I used to watch the three movies back then before I knew about its occult, satanic background. There is a little girl in the first movie who is called "Lucy". She is the first who enters Narnia and of course no one believed her! The same applied to our Familiy's awakening to FLAT EARTH. Back then in 2017 my sister was the first whom YHWH's Spirit showed the true biblical cosmology, but we all rejected it! How sad I feel about it when this comes to my mind! Well, thankfully YHWH opened our heart to the truth in 2018, even though I was still into Weed, I felt YHWH's calling and perceived the truth about FLAT EARTH.
It blew my mind and of course it would not be long until YHWH showed me THE BOOK OF ENOCH. I remember there was a night in early 2019 where I just could not sleep due to anger, frustration and emptiness due to sin, unforgiveness etc. Then out of nowhere I heard the Spirit of YHWH speaking to my heart, saying: "Read the Book of Enoch". I was like "Why? It can't be true, because its full of strange things and mythology" and I stopped reading the bible due to my sinful lifestyle. However, my curiosity was stronger than my terrible state of existence. Well, I did read it! And I could not stop, because I saw the truth RIGHT AWAY! I read from Chapter 1 to Chapter 80, went to sleep and just finished it the next "morning" (I think I slept in very late). Many things changed and I started reading my Bible again! With a fresh view. I also felt a partial relief from sin. However, YHWH was not yet done with me!
I became very sick in the end of Januray 2020. I went to the Hospital and they could not tell me what I had, although all signs and symptoms pointed to an rupture of the appendix. Looking back I now clearly understand that satan blinded them, because he wanted me to die, so that my life could not bear fruit (what it truly does now! Praise YHWH). Believe it or not, I almost died there because of a ruptured appendix !!! In the fourth night YHWH sent a mighty thunderstorm and 4 thunders just hit very close to the hospital. Today this reminds me of a saying we have "a thunderstorm clears the air." And we know who is "the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience." (Ephesians 2:2 BSB) and that we do not wrestle "against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:12).
However it may be, after this thunderstorm things were being processed very quickly. After surgery, they told me my blood was full of toxins due to my ruptured appendix (back then I was like "you don't say"). So it took a long time for me to recover. I was in Hospital for 10 days, and could neither eat nor drink for 7 days. I lost more than 20 pounds. The most important aspect of this hard time was that not only was my body healed, but also my spirit! PRAISE YHWH and HIS PRECIOUS SON!! After I left the hospital I had such an hunger for the truth and since then I study the Scriptures daily. For me the following verse has a special and unique meaning: "...because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin." (1 Peter 4:1 NASB)
YHWH did not just change me, but my whole family. We could forgive each others sins and the Spirit of YHWH refreshed us with Blessings from above. We now work together, have our in-depth Bible Studies, all of us are readily receiving the so called "Apocrypha", while testing it daily. I am very certain this forum will be a blessing to me and vice versa! I am already blessed by Paul Zietsman's post "Antarctica: A closed system and a very deep rabbit hole". I could instantly feel a connection of all the things YHWH taught me the last years. Thank you Father, for these eye-opening truths! And thank you Paul, for writing and investigating such matters of the Kingdom!
What do I plan to contribute?
1.) The Importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS)
- most of the "Apocrypha" has been found in the Caves of Qumran, including:
- The Book of Enoch
- The Book of Jubilees
- The Book of Sirach
- The Testament of the 12 Patriarchs
- The Book of Tobit
- ...
2.) The Qumran 364 Calendar
- also called "Enoch Calendar" or "Zadokite Calendar"
- Information provided by the DSS
- application and connection to FLAT EARTH
No current calendar employs all luminaries, i.e. Sun, Moon AND Stars. The majority of the world uses the corrupt "Gregorian Calendar", which is solely Solar based (i.e. to worship the sun). Then there are the so called lunar or soli-lunar based calendars, used by the Jews according to the flesh in Israel, by Muslims and others. However, the biblical calendar as laid out by the DSS (and alluded to by the Book of Enoch + Book of Jubilees e.a.) employs all the luminaries. If desired, I would love to share my findings with you.
3.) Translations of certain fragments - Monte Urbano Map 1587
I already have a "collection" of interesting phrases and descriptions that I translated via the help of my own language skills and Google Translator - lol. In many instances it even confirms the Book of Enoch by confirming what it says the characteristics of the winds. There is also a hidden reference to the 2nd Book of Esdras (The Apocalyps or Revelation of Esdras) regarding the country or place of "Arsareth", mentioned in 2 Esdras 13:39–47.
Just one more thing: I am in no way "dogmatic" about things I researched. In fact, YHWH gave me an open, inquisitive mind and a gentle, empathic character. I know about so many forums and social media groups where there is only HATE and everyone wants to BE RIGHT. Its a very stressful place to be and I have been wounded many times and I think you know that too! I read through all posts and find that this is not the case here! Halleluyah! May our discussions be fruitful and may we all be zealous for the love of our Messiah!
In divine love from above,
David
