Let us not forget, our Creator is sitting on His throne in the heavenlies. I believe Elohim's throne is directly above the North Pole atop the firmament, above the center of our flat earth*. Emerald green is the color surrounding His throne. And be mindful of the fact that His eyes see everything in the world. "... they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth." Zechariah 4:10, KJV. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever." Psalm 111:10
"22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy (firmament), and spreads them out like a tent to live in."
"And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance."

Notice the windows and doors of heaven. This is how even the mountains were covered with water during the great flood. Water came down from above the firmament and water came up from openings on the ground, now referred to as "meteor craters" by governments. All "craters" are round (as though all "meteors" came straight down) and no "meteors" are ever found in them.

The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) surround our Creator's throne which is above the firmament directly over the North Pole (magnetic North).
He was born a Middle Easterner and thus had dark skin (unlike the Westernized images we have been led to believe.) “The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.” "...he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Sh
The four ancient Hebrew characters above (Odiot) and the four Paleo Hebrew characters below; these four spell the Name of our Creator. This is His Proper Name "Yahuah." Proper names are never translated! Imagine changing "Albert Einstein" to "Henry Smith" in the USA or to "Bruce Lee" in China. Your proper name is spelled the same in every country!

Scripture Against Sacrifice and Eating of Flesh
(Submitted to his seminary professor Nov. 2023)
BEWARE: As per the best Scriptural and extra-biblical information, our Messiah, his disciples and all followers of The Way were vegetarian or Vegans until Emperor Constantine issued his edicts around 306-327 A.D.
I know our heavenly Father and our Messiah hate sacrifice, killing and flesh eaters. As you study below it will become obvious that the Hebrews, the Christian church and most other people have been disobedient for a long time!
The following verses, found from cover to cover in the Scriptures, reveal that our Creator never intended for mankind to kill and eat animals. You will also find some articles from extra biblical sources whose authors have come to the conclusion that our Creator’s character never did and never will condone the slaughter and eating of His creatures. Partaking of animal flesh is a very dangerous path to follow. It is better to follow the ancient path of our Vegan Messiah.
Consider this: Our Creator did not instruct the Israelites to hunt, fish, cook or cure animal flesh for their long journey out of Egypt. Instead, he provided Manna! What happened to the Hebrews who begged for and insisted on animal flesh? They died and were buried on the spot!
The slaughtering of the wrong (evil) ones Is an abomination to יהוה, But the prayer of the straight is His delight.
For the event of the sons of men is also the event of beasts – one event befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Indeed, they all have one breath – man has no advantage over beasts...

The First Covenant
Genesis
1:29 And Elohim said, “See, I have given you every plant that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed, to you it is for food.
1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping creature on the earth, in which there is life, every green plant is for food.” And it came to be so.

Numbers
Num 11:18 And say thou unto the people, sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of YHWH, saying, who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore, YHWH will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
Num 11:19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

Num 11:32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
Num 11:33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of YHWH was kindled against the people, and YHWH smote the people with a very great plague.

Animal sacrifice is Idolatry!
YHWH did not want Israel to have a king and did not want animal sacrifice. They rebelled and did sacrifice animals and they rebelled and asked for a king. They were allowed to do both but both were not requested by YHWH. Should they have had a king over them? NO!
Should they sacrifice animals? NO! Animal sacrifice is idolatry!

Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

1Ki 8:62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before YHWH.

1Ki 12:26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:1
1Ki 12:27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of YHWH at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their master, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

Hos 9:3 They shall not dwell in YHWH's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

Jer 7:8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

Jer 7:21 Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices and eat flesh.
-----------------------------------------------------
Animal Sacrifice in Judaism comes from Egypt.
Animal sacrifice came from their time in Egypt. They created a golden calf and said it was YHWH who brought them out of Egypt, and they sacrificed to it. Killing animals is not good. Food is what they ate in the garden of Eden. Plants. Search google for any of the following: James the Just was a vegetarian, Peter was a vegetarian, John the Baptist was a vegetarian, John the apostle was a vegetarian. The Messiah taught these men that animal sacrifice is wrong. There will be no more death. One chapter later YHWH tells us why the Scriptures are full of animal sacrifice. The lying scribes added it.
----------------------------------------------------
Jer 8:8 How do ye say, we are wise, and the law of YHWH is with us? Lo, certainly the lying pen of the scribes hath made it falsehood.
1 Samuel (put in order)
1Sa 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath YHWH as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of YHWH? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
1Sa 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of YHWH, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
-----------------------------
Killing and eating flesh is not YHWH's plan for us. It was not in the garden of Eden with Adam, and it will not be in the coming eternal kingdom which will be back in the garden. No death... otherwise it would not be eternal life, now, would it?

Luk 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before YHWH?
Luk 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
John
I Am the Good Shepherd
Joh 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Joh 10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Joh 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
Joh 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
Joh 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Joh 10:6 This parable spake Yahushua unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
Joh 10:7 Then said Yahushua unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Joh 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
Joh 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Joh 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
Joh 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
Joh 10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

Revelation
Rev 1:4 And YHWH shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
EXTRA BIBLICAL SOURCES
Many people, including church historians, have written about vegetarianism or Veganism of the church. They have written about the necessity of discontinuing sacrifices. Some of these writings are disputed by critics.There are Biblical figures that were vegetarian and these include, Adam, Enoch, Daniel, James the Brother of Messiah and all of the Twelve Apostles (according to early church historians Hegissipus and Eusebius).
THE GOSPEL OF THE HOLY TWELVE
This manuscript is claimed to be the reincarnation of the ancient Gospel of the Hebrews, the original Gospel of Matthew mentioned by Jerome and other early church fathers. This manuscript, which Rev. Gideon Ouseley discovered in 1881, is considered by us to be close to, if not identical with, the original Gospel used by ancient New Testament Essenes. It is the position of the Essene Nazarian Church that this, and other important Essene writings, were systematically removed from common circulation when gentile Christians gained dominance over the Hebrew saints in the early fourth century AD. Learned men, so called Correctors were, following the church meeting at Nicea 325 AD, selected by the church authorities to scrutinize the sacred texts and rewrite them in order to correct their meaning in accordance with the views which the church had just sanctioned.
Archdeacon Wilberforce of Westminster said, "that after the Council of Nicea, AD 325, the MSS. of the New Testament were considerably tampered with."
Professor Nestle in his "introduction to the Textual Criticism of the Greek Testament" tells us that certain scholars, called correctors, were appointed by the ecclesiastical authorities, and actually commissioned to correct the text of Scripture in the interest of what was considered ORTHODOXY.
Edmond Szekely says that the words of Messiah became half forgotten and were not collected until some generations after they were uttered, that they have been misunderstood, wrongly annotated and many times re-written and transformed. Indeed, the whole truth about the life and work of the Messiah, he says, has been suppressed and His story falsified and adulterated by ecclesiastical history.

THE CLEMENTINE HOMILIES
Chapter XLII
Then Peter: "Whatever sayings of the Scriptures are in harmony with the creation that was made by Him are true, but whatever are contrary to it are false."
And to those who supposed that God is pleased with sacrifices. He said, ' God wishes mercy, and not sacrifices ' the knowledge of Himself, and not holocausts.
3.45 But that He is not pleased with sacrifices, is shown by this, that those who lusted after flesh were slain as soon as they tasted it, and were consigned to a tomb, so that it was called the grave of lusts.
8.20 Having charged them to this effect, the messenger departed. But you are still ignorant of this law, that everyone who worships demons, or sacrifices to them, or partakes with them of their table, shall become subject to them and receive all punishment from them, as being under wicked masters. And you who, on account of ignorance of this law, have been corrupted beside their altars, and have been satisfied with food offered to them, have come under their power, and do not know how you have been in every way injured in respect of your bodies.
RECOGNITIONS OF CLEMENT
Chap. xxxvi.—Allowance of sacrifice for a time. "When meantime Moses, that faithful and wise steward, perceived that the vice of sacrificing to idols had been deeply ingrained into the people from their association with the Egyptians, and that the root of this evil could not be extracted from them, he allowed them indeed to sacrifice, but permitted it to be done only to God, that by any means he might cut off one half of the deeply ingrained evil, leaving the other half to be corrected by another,
Chap. xxxvii.—The holy place. "In addition to these things, he also appointed a place in which alone it should be lawful to them to sacrifice to God.
[15] And all this was arranged with this view, that when the fitting time should come, and they should learn by means of the Prophet that God desires mercy and not sacrifice.
1.39.1 Thus when the time came near for the needed correction of what was lacking, the fitting time arrived in which that prophet who had been proclaimed beforehand by Moshe was revealed. At his coming, because of the mercy of Yahuah he first warned them to cease and desist from sacrificing.
(2) But lest they suppose within themselves that they were being deprived of the forgiveness of their sins through sacrifices, and this be troublesome for them, he appointed baptism by water for the forgiveness of sins. It was shown to them that it truly gives the forgiveness of sins and is able to preserve those who are perfect unto eternal life.

KEITH AKERS. THE LOST RELIGION OF JESUS
Of the conflict between Jesus and the temple hierarchy. They have the curious effect of saying that what Jesus was attacking actually had nothing to do with the temple. What Jesus was really doing was attacking hypocrisy or making a symbolic gesture. The Jewish Christian texts present something much more striking: Jesus was attacking the practice of animal sacrifice. "I came to abolish sacrifices," says the Ebionite Jesus, "and unless you cease sacrificing, my anger will not cease from you" (Panarion 30.16.5).”
