Twenty Biblical Proofs That Trump is “The Little Horn,” Not Obama!

1.) Barack Obama is Too Obviously Opposed to Christians & Jews, and Has Not Fooled Many Bible Believers.

Our Messiah warned us that there would be many false Messiahs and false prophets in these last days, and that the deception would be so powerful, that they will even deceive the elect. It is important to understand that the Greek word for “possible” in the following passage is #1415 “dunatos,” which literally means “powerful, capable.”

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were POSSIBLE, they shall deceive the very elect.

Additionally, the words “it were,” are italicized in the King James Version, which means those words were added by the English translators. Therefore, this verse is more accurately read like this:

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if POWERFUL, they shall deceive the very elect.

This goes right along with the warning from Shaul (Paul) that it will be a STRONG DELUSION:

2nd Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause Elohiym shall send them STRONG DELUSION, THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE.

This is the number one reason why Barack Obama cannot be the False Messiah, The Man of Sin, The Son of Perdition, aka Antichrist. It is because he has not fooled many Christians or Jews into believing that he is “one of them,” or “on their side.” Barack Obama has been openly in favor of same-sex marriages and abortion. He also made disparaging remarks against the Bible when he was in office:

“Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy?” “Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount? “So before we get carried away, let’s read our Bible now,” Obama said, to cheers. “Folks haven’t been reading their Bible.” He also called Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount “a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our Defense Department would survive its application.”


As a matter of fact, all of us can remember when that Television Series called “The Bible,” showed the devil looking eerily similar to Barack Obama! Interestingly, this show aired on March 13th 2013 with two #13’s signaling that the Illuminati were doing this on purpose. I believe they have been trying to convince us that Obama is “The Antichrist,” so that when Trump came onto the scene, Christians & Conservatives would already have made up their mind that Obama is the one. Even Glenn Beck, who is a Mormon & a Freemason, showed this image on his television show, and he tweeted about it on Twitter. 

When Luciferians expose Satanists, what you must understand, is that it’s the “False Light,” exposing the “Obvious Darkness, in an effort to throw you off of their scent! Even though Scripture makes it clear that Lucifer & Satan are the same being, Freemasons believe that “Jesus is a reincarnation of the fallen angel Lucifer!” 



Therefore, they falsely categorize themselves as “Christians,” while referring to those on the Left as “Satanists!” Until you understand this concept, you will continue to fall for the “The Left-Right Paradigm. 

To learn more, see these blogs: 



Trump, on the other hand, pretends to uphold the Bible, while Obama has also been openly against Israel, and in favor of their worst enemy, which is Iran.

See this Newsweek Article:


As a matter of fact, before leaving office in 2016, President Obama donated billions of American Tax Dollars to Iran! Do you honestly think that the Jewish people in Israel would now ask Barack Obama to build the 3rd Jewish Temple? 

Conversely, President Donald Trump has been quoted as saying “Nobody is against Anti-Semitism more than me.” He also made a speech at the Bilderberg Dinner in 2016 that he is “Committed to fighting against persecution of Christians, Roman Catholics & Jews.” See the following articles:




Why would Trump make such declarations? Because it is obvious (to those of us who understand the agenda behind the Ecumenical Movement), that all major religions of the world must be brought together under the authority of the Vatican. Donald Trump is a graduate of Fordham University, which is a Jesuit Bible College, therefore, he knows his place on the political world stage, and he is following his marching orders.

Trump takes the same stand against abortion (supposedly) as President Ronald Reagan did. Both Reagan & Trump took enough of a stand against abortion to make it look good to their Christian Right-wing Conservative supporters. But not enough of a stand to do anything about it. The Washington Post published an article quoting Trump:

“As most people know, and for those who would like to know, I am strongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions — Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother — the same position taken by Ronald Reagan,” Trump said, as he appeared to distance himself from Alabama’s restrictive abortion law. 


Just like Reagan, Trump favors killing a baby in the womb in cases of incest and rape! This is not a Pro-Life” stance at all. Medical Professionals can conjure up a medical reason for aborting a baby when they want to, so there is no medical reason that will stand in the courts of heaven for murdering an unborn baby. 


Trump made it appear that he was defunding Planned Parenthood back in 2019, but then he redirected those same funds for “Vaccine Developmentwhen he gave 1.16 Billion in our U.S. Tax Dollars to an organization called GAVI, which was started by Bill Gates & the World Health Organization! Thus, we can see that Trump is notorious for pulling the famous 
“Bait & Switchtactic that many Christians and Conservatives are falling for. 


There is no question that Barack Obama is “An Antichrist,” and one who operates in that spirit. However, since our Messiah told us in Matthew 24:24 that there will be “Many false Christs, and false prophets, therefore, we can safely say that Barack Obama is “One of many Antichrists.” But he is not the one spoken of in 2nd Thessalonians 2:

2nd Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, THE SON OF PERDITION.

2nd Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposes and EXALTS HIMSELF himself above all that is called Elohiym, or that is worshipped; so that he as Elohiym SITS IN THE TEMPLE of Elohiym, showing himself that he is Elohiym.

The only politician on the world stage right now, (who fits that description) is Donald Trump; who has on many occasions referred to himself as “The Chosen One, The Second Coming of God, the Messiah, the King of Israel!” 

In Daniel 7:8 & Revelation 13:5, one of the biggest characteristics of “The Little Horn,” aka “The Beast” is that “He speaks great things and blasphemies against the Most High.” 


2.) The name “Trump” in Hebrew (qeren) means a “horn” as in “Little Horn,” or a “trumpet, cornet.” (Daniel 7:8 & 8:9).

3.) The word “Little” in Hebrew (z`eyr) means “To be brought low, to be made small.” 

Trump has been deliberately made to go through “Humiliation Rituals,” so that he can later be exalted like the Messiah (Daniel 7:8 & 8:9). 

The Hebrew meaning of “little” is seen in the Concordance as follows:

Conversely, some have tried to make the argument that the name “Barack Obama” was named by our Messiah in Luke 10:18 when he said the following:

Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

They rationalize that in Hebrew the word for “lightning” is “baraq,” which is spelled with the Hebrew letter “quph” or the English equivalent of the letter “Q.” 


There are two different words in Hebrew that sound the same, but one of them ends with a quph, (Q) and the other one ends with a kaph (K). Obviously, Barack Obama spells his name with a kaph (K) on the end, which in Semitic means 
“To bless god.” Therefore, the argument that Barack Obama was named by our Messiah is now disproven!

4.) The name “President Donald Trump” in Computer ASCII code has a numerical value of 666, which is the same numerical value as the word “Vaccination.” 


This means that the name, number, and mark of the beast, matches the numerical value of the name “President Donald Trump” (Daniel 3:1-15; Revelation 13:16-18; 1st Kings 10:14; 2nd Chronicles 9:13). 

Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 

See the calculations at the following link: 


Conversely, the name of President Barack Hussein Obama does not have the numerical value of 666. I have tried calculating his name several different ways, (even his birth name Barry Soetoro), but there is no match for 666.

The Biometric Tracking System is the future Mark of the Beast

President Donald Trump has told us many times in his speeches that he intends in the future, to roll out the Biometric Tracking System, which means that we will not be able to travel, buy or sell without an ID. 

At the 2:57 mark of this video, you will hear Trump say the following: 


We will finally complete, the Biometric Entry/Exit Tracking System, which we need desperately...In my administration, we will ensure that this system is in place. And I will tell you, it will be on land, it will on sea, it will be in air, we will have proper tracking system....We will turn off the jobs and benefits...

What most people have not figured out yet, is that the Luciferian global elites have orchestrated the CHILD-TRAFFICKING crisis. They have orchestrated the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION crisis. They have orchestrated the VOTER-FRAUD crisis, all for one end-goal, which is to roll-out Biometric Tracking ID, which is the biblical Mark of the Beast! (see Revelation 13:16-18).

By following the Creation Account in Genesis, we can easily see that the “Mark of the Beast” has three components: 

A.) Physical Body - Altering human DNA into the Image of the Beast, via the “Iron & Clay” (graphene oxide) which is transhumanism (Daniel 2:42-44). 

*This is Satan’s attempt to recreate humans in his image, a reversal of Genesis 1:26-27.

B.) Spiritual - Outlawing the Seventh-day Sabbath for believers in Messiah and requiring Sunday Sabbath. 

The #7 in Hebrew is “sheba,” which means “to take an oath by swearing seven times.” YaHuWaH marks his own people by giving us a day of rest, which is his covenant with us! 

*This is Satan’s attempt to recreate the Sabbath for himself, a reversal of Genesis 2:2-3. 

C.) Mind/Financial - Biometric Tracking, cannot buy or sell without it. 

*This is Satan’s attempt to mark his own children, a reversal of Genesis 4:15, where YaHuWaH gave Cain the mark of the “Aleph & Taw” (a covenant mark). 

Satan’s mark is 666, because humanity was created on day #6, and a trinity of 6’s means that Satan is trying to mimic our Creator, who resurrected on the third day. To learn more, see my other blog: Mark of the Beast Decoded in Genesis

Also see these other links:






5.) The Beast “Comes in his own name,” (John 5:43), and Trump owns 318 copyrights on items sold around the world with his name on them. 

The Trump named is branded, and appears on everything from statues, to T-shirts, to hotels, mattresses, liquor, Gambling Casinos, Wine, etc. 








“The Donald” or “Donald Trump” has been listed as owner for 318 trademarks using the “Trump Name” in the United States Database!

What most people may not be aware of, is that the name “Donald” in Gaelic or Scottish, literally means “The World Ruler!”

Conversely, all the other runner-ups for the position of “Antichrist,” (who many people have speculated about) do not come in their own birth name!

*Barack Hussein Obama changed his name, from his original birth name, which is Barry Soetoro.  

*Pope Francis does not come in his own name when he holds the office of a Pope, because his birth name is “Jorge Mario Bergoglio.” 

King Charles III, is also not his original birth name either, for he was born “Prince Charles Philip Arthur George of Wales.” 

However, his current legal name is “King Charles III, of the United Kingdom.” or simply “Charles III.”

In my other blogs (below), you will see all the trademarks that have been listed using the Trump name in the United States. 

In addition to the 318 trademarks with the Trump name in them, I have found 33 terms with the name Trump in it, adding up to 666 in Computer ASCII Code! 

To learn more, see these other two blogs:



6.) Trump’s genealogy/lineage traces back to the 
Assyrians” (Isaiah 10:5-24; 14:25; 19:23; 23:13; 30:31; 31:38). 

Trump’s family also claim to be “Merovingian Jews,” supposedly the offspring of “Mary Magdalene & Jesus” (Revelation 2:10 & 3:10). 

See these blogs: 



7.) Trump spearheaded “Operation Warp Speed,” in 2020, which has caused 6.66 billion souls to take “The Mark of the Beast.” 

In Revelation 13:18, we see a prophecy that Trump has already began to fulfill, and he will continue to fulfill it during his 42 months of false ministry. 


The Mark of the Beast removes from the human DNA, the name of the Father (YaHuWaH), and replaces it with a Triple Helix strand of DNA, containing a sequence of the #666. 

Trump also called the “Vaccination,” “A GREAT CHRISTMAS MIRACLE” (Revelation 13:14-18; 2nd Thessalonians 2:9). See these links:






8.) Trump placed an “Abomination” that causes “Desolation” inside the human body/temple, by using 1.16 Billion American Tax dollars to develop a substance that mixes “Iron & Clay” (Daniel 2:43). 

This has caused the alteration of Human DNA with unclean animals and human cells from live “ABORTIONS.”  


Graphene Oxide is a substance that is made using “IRON,” and humans are made from “The dust of the earth,” which is formed into “CLAY” (Genesis 2:7; Matthew 24:15; 1st Corinthians 6:19). 

9.) The Little Horn is given a mouth speaking “Great things and blasphemies against the Most High” (Daniel 7:8; 7:20; Revelation 13:5). 

Trump brags on social media and calls himself “The Second Coming of God, the Messiah, the King of Israel & the Chosen One.” 


10.) The Little Horn “subdues three kings” or nations (Daniel 7:24).


Trump brokered a “Peace Deal” with three nations (Israel, Bahrain & United Arab Emirates) on August 13, 2020, thus “subduing three kings,” which fulfilled several prophecies at once. 

11.) The Little Horn “Destroys Many by Peace” (Daniel 8:25; Isaiah 28:15-18). 

Trump’s Abraham Accords includes a clause stipulating that the nations that signed the agreement must participate with the development and distribution of the “Vaccinations,” which destroy the human body over time. 

Thus, Daniel 8:25 says “He shall destroy many by peace.” Isaiah 28:15-18 calls it “A Covenant with death.” 

12.) A Wall in the Golan Heights Near Mount Hermon Dedicated to Donald Trump by Benjamin Netanyahu called “Trump Heights.”


In Isaiah 14:14, the fallen angel named “Heylel” (Lucifer) says “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.” 

13.) Trump “magnifies himself” in his heart and by his words above all other “gods” (Daniel 8:25; 11:36-37). 

14.) Trump “honors the god of fortresses” in his Trump Tower Estate, with a mural on the ceiling of Apollo, (the son of Zeus), and other statues and paintings of pagan deities (Daniel 11:38; Revelation 9:11). 


In Hebrew, the name “Apollo” is “A-bad-Don” (Abaddon). 

15.) The “Little Horn” magnifies himself above all other gods, including the pagan deity named “Tammuz,” who is also nick-named “The Desire of Women” (Daniel 11:37 & Ezekiel 8:14). 


16.) The “Little Horn” shall think to change times and laws, (Daniel 7:24-25), which are the commandments of YaHuWaH. 


On June 2, 2020, Trump signed an Executive Order called “Advancing International Religious Freedoms,” which makes it illegal to speak out against homosexuality, and the One World Religion of Antichrist Pope Francis!


17.) The “Man of Sin” promotes “The Mystery of Lawlessness,” as he will build the Temple of YaHuWaH, and he will “Sit in the Temple” declaring himself to be “Elohiym” (god). 

President Trump has been asked by the Jewish Sanhedrin in 2016 to build the Temple in Jerusalem. 

There is even a Train Station that will shuttle passengers from the Ben Gurion Airport to the Temple Mount, and it is named “The Donald Trump Train Station.” 



18.) In October 2020, President Trump recovered from a “deadly wound” (plague in Greek), which is Covid-19, and afterwards, the Republicans made a “Golden Image” to him at the CPAC Event of 2021 (Daniel 3:1-15; Revelation 13:3). 

19.) The “Beast” shall suffer a deadly wound by a sword, and shall live (recover). The Greek word for “sword” (machaira) means “Judicial Punishment.” 

Trump’s Indictments are the “Judicial Punishment,” (wound by a sword) for which he will recover from (Daniel 3:1-15; Revelation 13:14. 


20.) The “Beast” causes “Fire to come down from heaven in the sight of men” 
(Revelation 13:13). 


These are “Directed Energy Weapons” that have caused unnatural fires throughout the United States to strategic places and food distribution centers. 

The Greek word for “fire” (pur) means “lightning, something that glows.” In 2019, Trump launched “Space Force,” which is 24/7 Satellite Surveillance, which tracks every human being on the earth that has been “micro-chipped” via his “Snake Bites.”





The Rays of the Sun Shining Down on Trump

What follows is a post I made on Facebook November 6th, 2020, (just three days after the Presidential Election). 

This image showed up on Social Media, as many Trump supporters were hailing him as some kind of Messiah-figure, with the manifestation of sun-rays shining down on him! 

This was a lying sign and a wonder, to deceive the very elect! 

Did they use something akin to Project Blue Beam to fake this effect?

Revelation 13:13 And he does GREAT WONDERS, so that HE MAKES FIRE COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN IN THE SIGHT OF MEN... 

The key operative phrase is “In the sight of men.” The photo features many people witnessing this phenomenon. 

*Note: The Greek word for “fire” in Revelation 13:13 is as follows:

#G4448. puroo poo-ro’-o from 4442; to kindle, i.e. (passively) TO BE INGNITED, TO GLOW (literally), be refined (by implication), or (figuratively) to be inflamed (with anger, grief, lust):--burn, fiery, be on fire. 

#G4442. pur poor a primary word; “fire” (literally or figuratively, specially, lightning):--fiery, fire. 

The Hebrew word for “horn” in the title “Little Horn” can also mean “a ray of light.” The Hebrew Concordance also tells us that the word “horn” is a trumpet (cornet). Thus “Little Horn” means “Little Trump!” 

#H7162 qeren keh’-ren a horn for sound, a cornet, trumpet.

#H7161 qeren keh’-ren from 7160; a horn (as projecting); by implication, a flask, cornet; by resemblance. an elephant's tooth (i.e. ivory), a corner (of the altar), a peak (of a mountain), a ray (of light); figuratively, power: --X hill, horn. 

Another root word is as follows:

#H7160 qaran kawran to push or gore; to have hornsto shine; to shoot out horns or rays; to shine.

On Election Day, (November 3rd 2020), the internet was abuzz with stories about the rays of the sun shining down on Trump. See the link below:


Is Barack Obama the lightning that falls from a high place in the sight of men?

Some have suggested that Revelation 13:13 is about Barack Obama falling from from heaven as lightning. The Hebrew word for lightning is #H1300, “baraq” spelled with three letters: beyth, rosh, quph. 

There are two Hebrew words that sound the same, but they are spelled differently. The word for “blessed” is #H1288, and it is spelled almost the same, except for the last letter (kaph instead of quph). 

Therefore, the word “barak” is spelled, beyth, rosh, kaph. I am by no means suggesting that Obama is blessed, because he is certainly a very wicked man. However, Obama does not spell his name with a “q” on the end, he spells it with a “ck” on the end. Therefore, it is a stretch to attach his name to this prophecy.

In Luke 10:18, our Messiah said that he beheld “Satan fall as lightning.” The word “height or high place” in Hebrew is #H1116 which is “bama.” Some have interpreted this to mean that Barack (lightning) is the one who falls from the high place (bama), and that the letter “O,” translated as the Hebrew letter “waw, or vav” is a connector meaning “the.” 

The only problem with this theory is, that there have not been any people witnessing Barack Obama falling from his high place!

Therefore, “In the sight of men” cannot be referring to Obama falling as Satan!

A more plausible argument about this prophecy is seen in the fact that there is a place in Israel that has been dedicated to President Trump. Back in 2002, a friend of mine who currently lives in Israel pointed this place out to me. 

She sent me a photo of this place called Trump Heights 24/7 House of Prayer.According to Wikipedia, this is an Israeli-occupied settlement in the Golan Heights:


Trump Heights is a planned Israeli settlement in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights named after, and in honour of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States. Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights are widely regarded as illegal under international law. However, the Israeli government disputes this. It will be under the jurisdiction of Golan Regional Council.


The Golan Heights rise from 400 to 1700 feet in the northeastern section of the country. Israels highest mountain, Mount Hermon, is located here. Mount Hermons highest peak is more than 9,000 feet high, the top elevation under Israeli control is Mizpe Shelagim, the Snow Observatory, at about 7,300 feet (2,224 m.).

There are a few interesting things about this place that are very telling. The first thing that comes to mind when I see this photo, is the prophecy in Isaiah.

Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 14:12 How are you fallen from heaven, O Heylel (Lucifer), son of the morning! How are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! 

Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 14:13 For you have said in your heart, I will ASCEND into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohiym: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north

Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 14:14 I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS; I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH. 

Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 14:15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol (hell), to the sides of the pit. 

The Hebrew word for “height” in Isaiah 14:14 is as follows:

#H1116 bamah bam-maw' from an unused root (meaning to be high); an elevation:--height, high place, wave; heights of Baal

What is also interesting, is the meaning of the word “Hermon,” as in Mount Hermon in Hebrew: 

#H2763 charam khaw-ram' a primitive root; to seclude; specifically (by a ban) TO DEVOTE TO RELIGIOUS USES (ESPECIALLY DESTRUCTION); physical and reflexive, TO BE BLUNT as to the nose:--MAKE ACCURSED consecrate, (utterly) DESTROY, devote, forfeit, have a flat nose, utterly (slay, make away). The root word is as follows: 

#H2764 cherem khay'-rem or (Zecheriah 14:11) cherem {kheh'-rem}; from 2763; physical (as shutting in) a net (either literally or figuratively); usually A DOOMED OBJECT; abstr. EXTERMINATION:--A CURSED THING, dedicated thing, THINGS WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN UTTERLY DESTROYED; UTTER DESTRUCTION DEVOTED THING.

Mount Hermon is that place where Yahuwshuwa (Joshua) conquered and defeated the Giants (Nephilim)! See the book of Yahuwshuwa (Joshua), chapter 12:1-5!

Naturally, I do not believe Obama to be innocent or benign. During his eight-year term as POTUS, I spoke out against his wicked ways on social media. 

Trump Worships Himself As Apollo

The real reason why the global elite bankers chose 9/11 to take down the Twin Towers, is because of what it says in Revelation 9:11.

Revelation 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. 


Daniel 11:36-38 describes this same KING, as “THE LITTLE HORN” who exalts himself above every other deity. 

Daniel 11:36 And THE KING SHALL DO ACCORDING TO HIS WILL; and HE SHALL EXALT HIMSELF, AND MAGNIFY HIMSELF ABOVE EVERY elohiym [god], and shall speak marvellous things against the EL of EL [God of gods], and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 

Daniel 11:37 Neither shall he regard the Elohiym of his fathers, NOR THE DESIRE OF WOMEN [TAMMUZ], nor regard any god: for HE SHALL MAGNIFY HIMSELF ABOVE ALL. 

Daniel 11:38 But IN HIS ESTATE, SHALL HE HONOR THE god OF FORCES: and god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour WITH GOLD, AND SILVER, AND WITH PRECIOUS STONES, AND PLEASANT THINGS. 

*Explanation: Donald Trump does not regard the same Elohiym as his ancestors, because he regards the pagan god Apollo (Apollyon) in his Trump Tower Estate with SILVER, GOLD & OPULENCE! 

As a matter of fact, he has a mural of Apollo on the ceiling, and he also has paintings and statues of Apollo, aka Apollyon on display! In Hebrew, the name “Apollyon” is “A-Bad-Don!” 

What this tells us is that Trump believes that he is a reincarnation of Apollo (the son of Zeus), therefore he worships himself. In 2015, Politico Magazine ran a story, revealing that Norman Vincent Peale taught Trump to worship himself:


Will “The Little Horn” Be A Homosexual?

Many people have misinterpreted Daniel 11:37 to mean that the Little Horn will not be attracted to women, therefore, they think he will be a homosexual. 

However, the Hebrew meaning of the phrase for “DESIRE OF WOMEN” gives us deeper insight. The Hebrew rendering of Daniel 11:37 says that the Little Horn shall not regard “Chemdah nashyim.” 

This is translated in English to “THE DESIRE OF WOMEN.” This phrase refers to someone who is dear to women (the object of their affection). J.A. Montgomery, in his Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Daniel, points out that Ewald identifies “The Desire of Women” as a Hebraic reference to the cult of Tammuz-Adonis. 

This cult was evidently popular in Syria, and was quite ancient, and perhaps more importantly, this cult had particular appeal to women. Lawrence M. Wills, in the Jewish Study Bible annotation to this passage, concurs that this is a reference to the Mesopotamian god, Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14). 

Therefore, the Little Horn shall have no regard for any pagan deity, even the one that is called “The Desire of Women” (Tammuz), for he will exalt himself above all other pagan gods! 

This cult of Tammuz later continued in Greece under the mythological god named “Adonis.”

This cult resembled what we saw in the 1950s with American teenage girls weeping in an emotional frenzy over Elvis Presley during his concerts.

Up Until the Fourteenth Day & Between the Two Evenings

By Maria Merola אריאל 
© Copyright Double Portion Inheritance, March 3, 2024
www.venmo.com@Maria-Merola

I have been observing Passover since the year 2002, following the events of 9/11/2001. That was a pivotal year for me, as YaHuWaH taught me many things during this time. He also shifted my paradigm regarding the “vain traditions of men” that many of us were taught within the Christian Church.

Since that time, I have seen many disputes and schisms within the body of Messiah regarding when to begin keeping Passover. Ever since I first began observing the Feast of Passover & Unleavened Bread, I have always understood that these are two separate feasts, to be kept on two separate nights. I became perplexed when I saw that many were celebrating both feasts on only one night, as they were following the time-frame for the Temple Passover slaughter.

I would later-on learn that the Pharisees in our Messiah’s day, had begun consolidating both feasts into one night, by celebrating both feasts (Passover & Unleavened Bread) on the night of the 15th of Abib (Nisan). The problem I have with this, is that it essentially means that we are only keeping six annual festivals instead of seven, as commanded in Leviticus 23.

After many years of studying the Scriptures, I came to realize that the dividing point to this entire conundrum lies in the fact that many people seem to ignore or misunderstand what it says in Exodus 12:6. 

I also find it interesting that the number “twelve” to the number of this verse, is being divided in half by the number “six” which is the number of humanity, since we were created on the sixth day. This seems to imply that the Twelve Tribes are being divided, over these two evenings, and when to begin keeping the Passover.

Shemoth (Exodus) 12:6 And you shall keep it UP UNTIL THE FOURTEENTH DAY of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Yisra’el shall kill it IN THE EVENING. 

Reading this same verse in Hebrew, it is rendered as follows:

Shemoth (Exodus) 12:6 And you shall keep it UP UNTIL THE FOURTEENTH DAY of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Yisra’el shall kill BETWEEN THE TWO EVENINGS (beyn ha’arbayim).

The first thing I would like to address, is the meaning of the phrase “UP UNTIL” in Exodus 12:6. The Hebrew word is “ad,” which literally means “AS FAR AS.” 

Imagine for a moment that you are teaching your teenager how to drive a car. You are in the passenger seat, while he/she is at the wheel as the driver. You say to your son/daughter “I want you to drive as far as the stop sign.” It should be obvious that you want him/her to drive 
“up until” the stop sign. However, what if your teenager keeps on driving past the stop sign? 

That’s what would have happened if Yisra’el had waited until the next day to slaughter the lamb in Egypt at 3:00 p.m. They would have still been roasting their lamb on the night of the 15th of Abib. After they had eaten of the Passover meal, they were instructed to stay inside their homes until the morning (Exodus 12:22). 

If they had slaughtered their lamb late in the afternoon at 3:00 p.m. on the 14th of Abib, it means they would have been roasting their lamb after sundown on the 15th of Abib. This means, they would have still been preparing to leave Egypt all that day on the 15th of Abib, and they would not have left until the 16th of Abib after sundown!

Therefore, we conclude that Yisra’el was commanded to keep the lamb RIGHT UP UNTIL sundown on the 13th of Abib, which then became the 14th of Abib. It was not until the following evening of the 15th of Abib, that they actually left Egypt (Exodus 12:42 & Deuteronomy 16:1; Numbers 33:3). 

The next thing I want to address, is the definition for the phrase “between the two evenings.”

The Temple Era & “Between the Two Evenings”

During the Temple Era in Jerusalem, the phrase “between the two evenings” (beyn ha’arbayim) came to mean something different than what it meant at that first Passover in Egypt. It is important to understand that during Temple times, the phrase “between the two evenings” meant between 12:00 noon and sundown (around 6:00 p.m.). 

There were two daily sacrifices offered during Temple times. The first one was at 9:00 in the morning, which is called “The third hour of the dayin all the gospels. The second sacrifice was done at 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon. This second sacrifice of the day is referred to as “between the two evenings.”

In our Western Culture, we call this time post-meridian. Post-meridian (p.m.) means that period between twelve noon, and six oclock in the evening. In other words, the phrase “between the evenings” according to Temple protocol is from 12:00 noon until the sun goes down, which is generally around 6-7 p.m. in Jerusalem.

See this PDF for an accurate definition of “between the evenings” as it relates to the Temple Era:


According to all four gospels, our Messiah was first crucified in the third hour of the day (9:00 a.m.), and he died at 3:00 p.m. (the sixth hour of the day). Thus, he fulfilled the timing of the morning, and the evening sacrifices! 

This means that our Messiah fulfilled all the Temple Sacrifices: 

1.) He fulfilled the morning and the evening sacrifices by being crucified at 9:00 am. and then dying at 3:00 p.m.

2.) He fulfilled the Temple Passover sacrifice by dying “between the two evenings,” which is between 12:00 noon and 3:00 p.m.

Darkness Between Twelve Noon & Three OClock

But it gets even better, because there was a prophetic sign of darkness that fell over the earth between the sixth hour of the day (12:00 noon), and the ninth hour of the day (3:00 p.m.). This was a heavenly sign, an anomaly that indicated that our Messiah, who is called “The sun of righteousness” (Malachi 4:2) was dying for the sins of humanity. 

Luke 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.  

Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.  

Luke 23:46 And when Yahuwshuwa had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the spirit. 

A More Ancient Meaning for “Between the Two Evenings”

At the time of the Exodus, the phrase “between the two evenings literally meant between the two sunsets on the 14th of Abib. This can be substantiated in many historical documents, which I will cite at the end of this blog. 

As a matter of fact, the word sundown and evening in the Hebrew Concordance, have the same meaning, and are used interchangeably:

#6150 `arab aw-rab' a primitive root (identical with 6148 through the idea of covering with a texture); to grow dusky at sundown:--be darkened, (toward) evening. 

YaHuWaH, in his divine wisdom, knew that the Two Kingdoms of Yisra’el would be divided after King Solomon died, therefore, he ordained that Passover was to be kept “BETWEEN THE TWO SUNSETS/EVENINGSon the 14th of Abib (Nisan) for BOTH DIVIDED HOUSES!

It is important to understand that with the first Passover in Egypt, there was no Temple in Jerusalem. Therefore, each family slaughtered their own lamb at home, and this was a personal family affair. Each father or leader of his own household acted as a priest who made blood atonement for his own family.

Later-on in 1st Century Jerusalem, this tradition of a family Passover for each home continued. This was especially true for the Samaritans who were banned by the Yahuwdiym (Jews) from  participating at the Temple. They continued with the ancient way of slaughtering a lamb for their own households at the beginning of the 14th of Abib.

Therefore, in keeping with the command to slaughter the lamb between the two sunsets,the Sadducees & the Samaritans along with the Northern Kingdom of Yisra’el conducted a Passover slaughter within their own households on the evening of the 13th of Abib, going into the 14th of Abib. 

Conversely, the Two Southern Tribes of Judah & Benjamin conducted their Passover slaughter at the Temple on the following evening from 12 noon - 6:00 p.m.

As a matter of fact, the Jewish Historian, Josephus recorded that there were often-times over a million pilgrims coming from the surrounding tribes to have their lambs slaughtered by the priests. Therefore, it became necessary to have two evenings for slaughtering lambs. 

By following the chronology of events from the first Passover in Egypt, to our Messiah’s Gospel Passover, we can easily see that Yahuwshuwa followed the same patterns, and in the same order as Yisra’el did! 

This means that our Messiah ATE THE PASSOVER MEAL at the same time that Yisra’el in Egypt ATE THE PASSOVER MEAL at the beginning of the 14th of Abib! 

*Explanation: In Egypt, Yisra’el slaughtered the lamb at the beginning of the 14th of Abib (after sundown on the 13th of Abib). Exodus 12:6 commanded them to keep the lamb “UP UNTIL” the 14th of Abib, before killing the lamb. The phrase “UP UNTIL” means “AS FAR AS.” 

This means that as the sun was going down on the 13th day of the 1st month of Abib, they slaughtered the lamb! 

Our Messiah fulfilled BOTH TIME-FRAMES for BOTH HOUSES: 

1.) He ATE the Passover “INSIDE THE HOUSE” with the Kingdom of Judah, on the first night of the 14th of Abib. 

2.) He BECAME the Passover for those who were “AFAR OFF,” (both Ephraim & Judah), because Judah disqualified themselves that morning when they shouted “Crucify him!” Therefore, (just like the red heifer ordinance), he was escorted “OUTSIDE THE CAMP!” (Numbers 19:3). 

The Chronology of Both Passovers: 

*The Exodus Passover: Yisra’el ate the Passover Meal, while the Egyptian first-born were “SMITTEN.” 

On that night of the 14th of Abib, YaHuWaH said that he would “SMITE” the Egyptians (Exodus 12:23). 

*The Gospel Passover: The Shepherd “SMITTEN” for sinners. 

On that night of the 14th of Abib, Yahuwshuwa repeated the prophecy of Zechariah 13:7 when he said “I will ‘SMITE’ the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered” (Matthew 26:31; Mark 14:27). 



*The Exodus Passover: Moses & Aaron Summoned. On that same night of the 14th of Abib, Moses & Aaron were summoned by Pharaoh (Exodus 12:30). 

*The Gospel Passover: Messiah Summoned. On that same night of the 14th of Abib, Messiah was summoned by Caiaphas the High Priest (Matthew 26:55-68). 



*The Exodus Passover: Pharaoh’s first-born son “SMITTEN” by the Plague. 

On the morning of the 14th of Abib, Pharaoh RELEASED Yisra’el when he realized that his FIRST-BORN SON had become the SUBSTITUTE, for Yisra’el, whom YaHuWaH named “MY FIRST-BORN SON” (Exodus 4:22; 12:29-32). 

*The Gospel Passover: Messiah as the first-born son “SMITTEN” for sinners. 

On the morning of the 14th of Abib, Pontius Pilate RELEASED Bar Abba (Barabbas, meaning ‘Son of the Father,’ a symbol of Yisra’el) in exchange for Yahuwshuwa, the “FIRST-BORN of many brethren” who became their “SUBSTITUTE” (Mark 15:11-15; Luke 23:18; John 18:40; Romans 8:29). 

*The Exodus Passover: Pharaoh Let Yisra’el Go Free. 

On the morning of the 14th of Abib, Pharaoh finally answered the cry of Moses & Aaron “LET MY PEOPLE GO!” (Exodus 12:31-32). 

*The Gospel Passover: Pilate Let Barabbas Go Free. 

On the morning of the 14th of Abib, Pontius Pilate finally answered the cry of the people “LET BARABBAS GO!” (Luke 23:18). 



*The Exodus Passover: Yisra’el baked dough before it had “RISEN,” then they “DEPARTED,” being led by a pillar of “FIRE.” 

Exodus 12:34 And the people took their dough BEFORE IT WAS RISEN [LEAVENED], their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 

Exodus 12:39 And THEY BAKED UNLEAVENED CAKES of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for IT WAS NOT RISEN [LEAVENED]; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual. 

Exodus 12:42  It is a night to be much observed unto YHWH for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: THIS IS THAT NIGHT of YHWH to be observed of all the children of Yisra’el in their generations.  

Deuteronomy 16:1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover unto YHWH your Elohiym: for in the month of Abib YHWH your Elohiym brought you forth out of Egypt BY NIGHT. 

Numbers 33:3 And THEY DEPARTED from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the Passover the children of Yisra’el went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. 

*The Gospel Passover: Messiah’s body metaphorically became like the ashes of the Red Heifer, baked in the “FIRE,” when his SPIRIT DEPARTED into the Heart of the Earth, before he was “RISEN” from the dead. 

In keeping with the pattern of the Red Heifer ordinance in Numbers 19, our Messiah’s body became like the “ashes” of the Red Heifer, as he went into the “Lowest parts of the earth,” aka “Abraham’s Bosom,” (Luke 16:19-31). What was the purpose of him going there? Scripture tells us that he went there to preach the good news to all those righteous souls who had died prior to his crucifixion:

1st Peter 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison.

*Disclaimer: There are many “Word of Faith” preachers on television (Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyers, Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar, etc.), who falsely teach that our Messiah had to “Suffer in Hell as a sinner!” This is not what I am suggesting! Our Messiah descended into the “Lowest parts of the earth,” to do three things: 

1.) To preach the good news to all those “Old Testament saints,” who died before his crucifixion, and were being held in Abraham’s Bosom (see Luke 16:19-31; 1st Peter 3:19).

2.) To give the gift of salvation to those same “Old Testament saints,” by bringing them to the throne in heaven as his “First-Fruits Wave Sheaf Offering” (Leviticus 23:9-14; Romans 8:23; 1st Corinthians 15:20-23; James 1:18; Revelation 14:4).

3.) To take away the keys of Death & Hell away from Satan (Revelation 1:18).

To learn more, see my other blog: He Led Captivity Captive & Gave Gifts Unto Men

Abraham’s Bosom is divided up into two sections, each divided by a great chasm (Luke 16:26). In the story of Lazarus & the Rich Man, the rich man was being tormented in flames in Sheol (Hades or Hell). However, Lazarus was being comforted in the bosom of Abraham. Our Messiah went to this place to “Preach to the spirits in prison (1st Peter 3:19). He did not go to Hell to suffer there as a sinner (as many false Televangelists preach). 



Through his DESCENT into “The heart of the earth,” (Matthew 12:40, Ephesians 4:8-9), our Messiah “Took away the keys to death & hell,” (Revelation 1:18). 

*The Exodus Passover: The Egyptians BURIED their DEAD just BEFORE SUNDOWN on the 14th of Abib, and then the date changed to the 15th of Abib, which then became the Feast of Unleavened Bread. 

On the evening of the 14th of Abib---BEFORE SUNDOWN, this is when the Egyptians BURIED their DEAD (Numbers 33:3-4). 

After that, the date changed to the 15th of Abib, which was the Feast of Unleavened Bread. That’s when Yisra’el DEPARTED from Egypt.

*The Gospel Passover: Messiah’s DEAD BODY BURIED in the Tomb BEFORE SUNDOWN on the 14th of Abib, and then the date changed to the 15th of Abib, which was the Feast of Unleavened Bread. 

Yahuwchanon (John) 19:31 The Yahuwdiym (Jews) therefore, because it was the preparation, THAT THE BODIES SHOULD NOT REMAIN UPON THE CROSS ON THE SABBATH DAY, (for that sabbath day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 

On the evening of the 14th of Abib (before sundown on the 15th of Abib), Joseph of Arimathea & Nicodemus took down Yahuwshuwa’s body from the cross, and then BURIED him in the tomb. 




*The Exodus Passover: The Egyptians Gave Gifts to Yisra’el, the First-Fruits of the Redeemed. After the sun went down, on the 14th of Abib, it became the 15th of Abib, (The Feast of Unleavened Bread). 

The Egyptians had already “GIVEN GIFTS” to the Yisraelites before they DEPARTED out of Egypt on that “NIGHT TO BE MUCH OBSERVED” (Exodus 12:35 & 42; Numbers 33:4-5). 

Exodus 12:35 And the children of Yisra’el did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels [GIFTS] of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: 

Exodus 12:36 And YHWH GAVE THE PEOPLE favour [GIFTS] in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians. 

*The Gospel Passover: Messiah GAVE GIFTS to the FIRST-FRUITS of his redeemed. 

Following the Pattern of the first Passover in Egypt, our Messiah’s SPIRIT DEPARTED into the LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH:

Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he said, When he ASCENDED up on high, he led captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 

Ephesians 4:9 Now that he ASCENDED, what is it but that he also DESCENDED first into the lower parts of the earth? 

Ephesians 4:10 He that DESCENDED is the same also that ASCENDED up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.

*Explanation: He descended into Abrahams Bosom, and preached good news to the righteous souls, bringing them before the throne in heaven as his First-Fruits Wave Sheaf Offering (Luke 16:22-30; 1st Peter 3:19; James 1:18; Revelation 14:4).
