I charge you in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of YHWH, and in the hearing of Elohim. Be careful to follow all the commands of YHWH, Eloheinu. Acknowledge the Elohim of your father and serve Him with whole hearted devotion and with a willing mind, for YHWH searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever. Consider now, for YHWH has chosen you to build a temple as a sanctuary.
Be strong and do the work.
(1 Kings 5:1)
Well, Hanukkah is over….but not for us.
While Jews and others who observe this celebration either just finished up or haven’t started yet, we as Calvarians follow in the Templar tradition which regards Hanukkah as a season.
An 8 day celebration accompanied by a few weeks of preparation. Depending on when in the years the dedication lands, the days of preparation either precede or follow it. As the dedication was early this year the preparation follows it. And these days will run right up until December 25.
Why that day?
Because that is the anniversary of the founding of the Templar Order and became in after years known as Servitum or Auxilium.
To Templars the Nativity of the Messiah (what later became known as Christmas) was always one of the most important things, but after 25 years they began to learn better than to believe that advent happened on the winter solstice and the time of commemoration was moved from December 25 to May 31 (unless it should fall on a Sabbath or Pentecost).
Thereafter the tradition was developed among the Templar Knights and Sergeants of commemoration December 25 as the 9th day of the dedication and turned to a day of fasting for the rest of the Templars who didn’t know any better and remained Roman Catholic.
The 9th Day (Servitum) is bitter sweet because it is the day when new Templars were made and it was the day when the Templars forced themselves to remember their old ways.
8 days of dedicating ourselves to YHWH. Coupled with weeks of not just resolving to stay dedicated but of planning for how we will. And a final day of putting it into action to oppose all that we once were in the time when others are sticking most desperately to their old ways.
So begin the Days of Preparation for Calvarians…
No vague ideas. No blanket promises.
Specifics.
How will you build the Temple of YHWH out of your life?

A new Edition of The
Lawful Literal Version
LLV Bible is out now!
…a work in progress with over 68,000 improvements so far!
The whole text of LLV339 Be as a Beroiaio Edition:
As far as the translator is aware, every name is now spelled with the aim of accurately reflecting the correct, historical pronunciations of these historical names according to modern phonetic English-alphabet transcription, e.g. ‘y’ not ‘j’ for the sound at the start of ‘yellow’, ‘w’ not ‘v’ for the sound at the start of ‘water’. The transcriptions in the LLV are aimed to be better than those of any English translation of Scripture made so far, because they consider not only the pointings of the medieval Hebrew texts but also the older transcriptions in Greek and Latin letters.
Please distribute freely, but only by sharing the link to this doc:
