Y
THE VERITABLE ORIGIN OF THE FEAST OF 15 AUGUST
It is the 84th message.
I,Champi, Apostle of the Lord Jesus, I want to be victorious and in order to be victorious, I must reveal to the people the truth which is revealed to me by the Holy Spirit. For, this revelation is a light and by it, the people will easily see and know what is good and bad; they will make the difference between the good and bad, between the spirit of the devil and the spirit of God.
In fact, I hold this light from the Lord who has revealed to me that the feast of the fifteen (15) of August comes from Jeroboam servant of Solomon, son of David. Solomon was King of the twelve tribes of Israel as it was the case of David his father. He had many wives and these ones turned away his heart from God; for it is what 1 Kings 11/4-10 says: “For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and did not wholly follow the Lord, as David his father had done. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites, on the mountain east of Jerusalem. And so he did for all his foreign wives, who made offerings and sacrificed to their gods. And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not keep what the Lord commanded”.
As Solomon turned away from the recommendations of God, the Eternal God said to him: “Since this has been your practice and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant” (1 Kings 11/11). This servant of Solomon is Jeroboam founder of the feast of 15th August. But this was only God’s will because he (God) is the one who has sent a prophet in front of Jeroboam to tell him that he will become King. That is why 1 Kings 11/29-37 makes us understand that: “And at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed himself in a new garment, and the two of them were alone in the open country. Then Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces. And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes (but he shall have one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), because they have forsaken me and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and they have not walked in my ways, doing what is right in my sight and keeping my statutes and my rules, as David his father did. Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes. But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and will give it to you, ten tribes. Yet to his son I will give one tribe, that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to put my name. And I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel”
The Eternal God trusted Jeroboam and he gave him ten tribes of Israel and gave one to Rehoboam, son of Solomon. But all this took place after the death of Solomon. In fact, Jeroboam ran away from Israel and he only returned after the death of Solomon because this one (Solomon) wanted to kill him; it is the reason for which 1 Kings 11/40 says: “Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon”. Jeroboam reigned on ten tribes of Israel and Rehoboam reigned on the tribe of Judah. Jeroboam who the Eternal had chosen and established King on the rest of the tribes of Israel became the veritable founder or creator of the abomination by giving another god created by himself to the people and by consecrating the priests the same day which was the 15th August, the day which has been transformed into a feast and which continues today.
That is why 1 Kings 12/28-33 says: “So the king took counsel and made two calves of gold. And he said to the people, “You have gone up to Jerusalem long enough. Behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.” And he set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan. Then this thing became a sin, for the people went as far as Dan to be before one. He also made temples on high places and appointed priests from among all the people, who were not of the Levites. And Jeroboam appointed a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he made. And he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made. He went up to the altar that he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, in the month that he had devised from his own heart. And he instituted a feast for the people of Israel and went up to the altar to make offerings”.
This Jeroboam, founder of the priests, manufacturer of monuments and founder of the 15th August did not repent from his evil way like 1 Kings 13/33 say to us: “After this thing Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but made priests for the high places again from among all the people. Any who would, he ordained to be priests of the high places”. Jeroboam knew that the Eternal had a tribe which is the tribe of the Levites, the tribe where comes the priests, but he has chosen the priests without taking notice of the Levites; that is why 1 Kings 12/31 says: “He also made temples on high places and appointed priests from among all the people, who were not of the Levites”. Meanwhile, David servant of the Eternal God says: “no one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, for the Lord had chosen them to carry the ark of the Lord and to minister to him forever” (1 Chronicles 15/2).
No matter the recommendations of God, Jeroboam did not repent from his evil way; he continued with lies and fake by sending his wife to the prophet who told him that he will become King of Israel and here is what he said to his wife: “Arise, and disguise yourself, that it not be known that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said of me that I should be king over this people. Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what shall happen to the child.” Jeroboam's wife did so. She arose and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age” (1 Kings 14/2-4). But 1 Kings 14/5-9 makes us understand that the Eternal said to Ahijah: “Jeroboam’s wife is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill, and you are to give her such and such an answer. When she arrives, she will pretend to be someone else. But when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another? For I am charged with unbearable news for you. Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: “Because I exalted you from among the people and made you leader over my people Israel and tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, and yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, doing only that which was right in my eyes, but you have done evil above all who were before you and have gone and made for yourself other gods and metal images, provoking me to anger, and have cast me behind your back” .
After the death of Jeroboam, the people started pretending to serve God, but they (the people) did not stop creating the priests and serving other gods according to their customs; that is why 2 Kings 17/32-34 says: “They also feared the Lord and appointed from among themselves all sorts of people as priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places. So they feared the Lord but also served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away. To this day they do according to the former manner. They do not fear the Lord, and they do not follow the statutes or the rules or the law or the commandment that the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel”.
Jeroboam died in the flesh but the spirit which lived (acted) in him continues to work today in the world. The chameleon can change his colour, but he cannot change himself. The chameleon which the devil is in spirit took a colour yesterday which is different from what we have today. For, yesterday, he was saying here is the golden calf (monument) which brought you out of Egypt and today, he changes by saying to the world: here is the image of the one who died for you and that of his mother.
The man must understand that the 15th August remains in the base, but it has changed in the form.
CHAMPI Apostle not behalf of man, nor by a man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father. God’s power is the knowledge. To know, avoid sin and to be free from the eternal death. (John 8/32)
