Seven Day Theocracy outlines God’s Convocation

The founder, Leader and General Overseer of the Seven Day Congregation of Theocracy, Apostle Kadmiel H.E Agbalenyoh has observed  that although the worship of God began at creation, it was finally established on earth, when Yahweh convocated with the Hebrews at Mount Sinai, according to Exodus 3:12 and Nehemiah 9:13-14.

He maintained that God declared the Dialogue, called the Ten (10) commandments, which he gave to the entire world through the prophet Moses (Exodus 32:15-16)

According to Apostle Agbalenyoh, God also outlined His Temple Ordinance namely,

1. Daily Prayers (exodus 29:38-41)
2. Seventh Day Sabbath (Exodus 20:8-11)
3. New Month Sabbath (numbers 28:11-15)
4. Feast of Passover (exodus 12:18-20)
5. Feast of Weeks (Leviticus 23:15-21).

Others were, 6. Atonement Day (Leviticus 23:26-32) Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:39-41). He indicated that this Hebraic Religious liturgy was authenticated in Numbers 10:10 respectively.

Apostle Agablebyoh made this known in a sermon at the end of the three-day celebration of the Tabernacle Festival at Shalom Shalom (Homeda Krom) off the Pokuase-Nsakina road last Monday, September 20, 2021.

THREE ANNUAL JUDAIC FESTIVALS

According to the renowned Apostle, the Almighty God and creator of Heaven and the Earth instituted The Annual Religious Festivals at Mt. Sinai that the Israelites were commanded to celebrate to be blessed among nations. These were:

1. The feast of Passover
2. The feast of weeks
3. The fast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:14-16; Deut 16:16)

He pointed out that these three festivals formed part of the Temple Ordinance when King Solomon built the Magnificent Temple of Yahweh, the God the World

(2 Chro. 2:3-4; 8:12-13)

CELEBRATING THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES

Apostle Agbalenyoh indicated that Prophet Zachariah had urged that all nations that had fought Israel, Judah and Jerusalem (Zech 1:18-19) shall worship the Almighty God and celebrate the feats of Tabernacles at Jerusalem, stressing that any nation that failed to do this would be plagued (Zech 14:16-19)

“It is therefore very important that inhabitants on earth especially Religious Organizations celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles instead of their human established festivals that God Almighty denounced in Isaiah 29:13-14; Matt 15:7-9. In fact, this was stipulated in John 7:1-4, 10-15 and 37-39 that Christ Jesus and his disciples celebrated the feast of Tabernacles and promised the outpouring of the Holy Spirit”. “Apostle Agbalenyoh stressed)

ADOPTING GRECO-ROMAN PAGAN FESTIVALS

According to the Apostle, after the defeat of the Jews, the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple of God by the Roman Army in AD70, and the final scattering of the Jews by King Hadrian in AD 135, that the Judaic Christian Apostasy started.

He maintained that the Judaic Christian Leadership was replaced with Greco – Roman Christian leadership. At this juncture, it was even debated that the Judaic Christian worship should be separated from the Jewish Religious Practices; and that in 167AD, Victor I, the Bishop of Rome then, even excommunicated Judaic Religious custom, except the Levitical Sacrificial System, which they had rejected because Christ Jesus became the Lamb of God (John 1:29; Matt 26-29)

EMPEROR CONSTANTINE THE GREAT

Apostle Agbalenyoh stated further that, unfortunately, the most faithful Judaic Religious beliefs and practices were paganized according to historians. He stated that Emperor Constantine the Great of the Roman Empire integrated the Greco-Roman pagan and Christian Religion. So between AD 313 and 337, the Judaic Christian Religious custom was eventfully replaced with Greco-Roman Pagan religious custom. Thus, in AD 313 Emperor Constantine equalized all religious beliefs and practices, but rejected Judaic religious systems as pertained in Daniel 8:11-12.

According to the erudite Apostle, who supports his sermon, research via write-ups, backed by booked-based evidence, in AD 321, Emperor Constantine partially legalized Sunday, first day of the week worship. Also in AD 325, Emperor Constantine assisted the Roman Christian Church to replace the Judaic Christian Passover with a fixed Pagan Easter Festival.

Finally, the 25^th December, celebrated in honour of Jupiter became the birth day of Jesus Christ, calling it Christmas from Ad 336. Then in AD 392, Emperor Theodosius officially declared celebration of Roman Christianity, the empire Religious practices and outlawed all other religions including the Judaic religion.

“Truly, the Roman Christendom has bot celebrated the feasts of the Almighty God and king since the 4^th Century’ he indicated.

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH

Apostle Agbalenyoh maintained that, unfortunately, the Seventh Day Adventist that stoutly believed the last Prophecy has rejected the continuity of the feasts of the Almighty God of Israel. However, Mrs. Ellen G White, one of the inspired leaders of the Adventist Church has confirmed that the feats commanded by God at the Mt. Sinai still holds, according to Patriarch and prophets, pages 537-542. “We must therefore understand that at Mt. Sinai, Yahweh commanded laws ordinances and statutes unknown to gentiles” (Psalm 147:19-20) – Apostle Abalenyoh concluded.

OBSERVANCE OF COVID-19 PROTOCOLS – THE PANDEMIC IS STILL AROUND

The celebration was done under strict observation of COVID-19 protocols – washing and sanitizing hands and warring of nose masks.

Mrs. Emily Amponsah, Health Director of Akwapim South Municipal Assembly, who chanced upon the occasion, commended the Apostle, elders and members of the church for adhering strictly to the Covid-19 protocols. She was however quick to admonish them against non-adherence to these practices, since the pandemic was still around. She pointed out that in 2020, the municipality recorded 33 cases. However, as at now, the records stands at 127, meaning that the diseases was still around and doing its own thig. It is therefore imperative that people adhere to these protocols all the time and everywhere they find themselves.
