True Repentance (part five)



5.      From being citizens of the kingdom of darkness to becoming citizens of the kingdom of light


This aspect of conversion necessitates a redirection of our loyalty and primary focus, for this reason we are to; “Give thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:12-14).
Now since this conversion has been effected, the converted has been instructed saying; “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which areabove, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth: For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:1-11).
But the million dollar question is, how do we differentiate the laws and regulations that govern the kingdom of light from that of the kingdom of darkness? Let us look at something very basic such as, when is the beginning of a new day, a new month and a new year. Most people, including myself at some point in time, were taught to believe that a day starts in the evening, and ends either at midnight or to the majority of Sabbath observers at sunset.
But let us be realistic, when does a day truly begins? Despite the fact that, God created lights in the firmament of the heavens, to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years, man rather disregard, and pay little, or no respect to those natural phenomenon which God has ordained to fulfill His purpose, and choose to hold tenaciously, to what sinful man has established.
Remember first and foremost that, before time came into existence the whole earth was in total oblivion, in complete darkness: There were no seconds, minutes, hours, days/nights, months and years, it was only when the LORD said: “Let there be light” that time came into existence and He called the light day and the darkness which was in existence before time was created He called night. Therefore, a new day begins at sunrise and not at sunset or at midnight:
With regards to a new month and a new year, now is the best time to give light to the truth and expose the lies and deception of the kingdom of darkness. In the next couple of days the Christian community all around the world will be observing the Lord`s Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread, while some people call it “Good Friday and Easter Sunday. But my humble question is, what date did the LORD institute to observe the Passover? This is what the scripture says:
“Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, "This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” The LORD further instructed them saying: Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight: He also told them; “So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance(Exodus 12: 1, 2, 6, 14).
So then, if on the eighth of April 2020 will be the 14th.  Day of the first month of the year, according to the laws of the kingdom of light, when was the first day of the year, and how was it herald? I do not think it is that difficult for anyone to prove, that the sun was created to rule the day, and therefore it is the sun that heralds the beginning of a new day; and the moon was created to rule the night, and to herald the dawn of a new month, since every New Moon is the dawn of a new month. But instead of following the patterns established by God, man has chosen to despise, and reject the way God ordained to count days, months, and years, and have instead adopted the system, established by the kingdom of darkness.
Will be writing more about this in future articles, but God has overlooked these times of ignorance and has commanded all men everywhere to repent: The question is will you?
Stay tuned
With brotherly love
