Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish knowledge of Time – Part Two
Dionysius Exiguus (Dennis
the Humble) as a Roman Christian Monk
It was the Roman Christian monk, Dionysius Exiguus, a 6th century Scythian monk who lived near modern Dobruja, a region shared by Romania and Bulgaria. It was he who coined the term AD as a designation of ancient historical time. AD meant “Anno Domini” Nostri Jesu Christi or in the “Year of our Lord” Jesus Christ.
The term BC came later and it was designated in the English language as “Before Christ” but originally it was called “a.C.n.”, which was the abbreviation of “Ante Christum Natum” which in Latin meant “before the birth of Christ”. How this Latin definition became converted to English is not well known, but what is known is that it was not universally accepted. In Europe alone; in the ancient French language it was known as “avant J.C.” (before Jesus Christ) and in German as “vor Christi Geburt” (before Christ’s birth).
As a Scythian by birth, Dionysius Exiguus was probably a descendant of the ancient Scythians who in the studies of Brit Am we comprehend better today that they were of the Royal Scythian Israelite descent. They represented one sector of the Ten Lost Tribes of the House of Israel. These facts alone speak loudly about the major fragmenting and division in the ancient brotherhood between the Hebrews that included both the Jews and the Benjamites represented by the Southern Kingdom of Judah and the Ten Northern Tribes in the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
As Destination Yisra’el wrote on this era titled, “The Passover Exodus then and now: The Righteous ‘Chosen Ones’ and their Descent into Slavery”:
Destination Yisra’el – “It is true, the Lost Tribers of the House of Israel, who were trying to forge a new life into a New Land of Promise in the New World, still had to become accountable of the abominations in which they had lived out their lives wandering across the plains of Southern Russia from the Caucasus to the Isles of the West in Britannia, Eire (Ireland), and Scotland. They had to come to a new reality that they also were of Hebrew-Israelite roots and that their apostate spiritual roots in Roman Christianity were only a degenerated form of their former Hebrew-Judaic roots that once flourished in a place called Roman Judea.
Is it not fascinating that some Lost Tribers in certain Protestant Churches call themselves “Spiritual Israelites” which in fact they are not. They are still spiritually babes in not realizing that as Spiritual Israelites, they are seeking to replace the covenanted Jews of the House of Judah. Instead they are actually “Literal Israelites” whose forefathers rejected the covenanted life as given on the Mount called Sinai, refused to worship in the House of G-d called Solomon’s Temple, refused to accept the priests designated as their spiritual advisors in Jerusalem, and the Mechoqeck, the Jewish rabbanim or the Pharisees of Beit Hillel to be their Torah guided judiciary and rebelled in defiance to the G-d of Israel.
These Lost Israelites were exiled, and lost their spiritually elevated lifestyle. Over the centuries they wandered back to Rome (Edom), and there wallowed in paganism and idolatry as Roman Christians for almost two thousand years.”
So history does attest that the Northern Ten Tribes that included the Royal Scythians did choose to separate themselves from their Jewish brothers from the Southern Kingdom of Judah. They went the way of apostasy into Baal worship. So today, most of the influence and the adherences of Roman and Protestant Christianity are located in the regions where the Lost Ten Tribes and their world colonization were located 2,300 years ago. This includes the Americas and the regions of Northern Europe, Southern Russia and the Balkans plus the countries around the world in which they and the Spanish Empire colonized or significantly influenced those peoples.
So the Gregorian Calendar was not formulated by a Roman Edomite but rather a Lost Ten Triber of the House of Israel who still considered that his religious experience as a Roman Catholic Christian was superior to the religious experience given to the Children of Israel at the Mount called Sinai. Yes, he had truly forgotten his roots, his ancestry, and the purpose for his existence for it was there at the base of Sinai that National Israel came into existence. It was there that the Torah was given as a divine blueprint of living and the Wilderness Tabernacle, and later the Temple of Solomon became the Holy House of G-d where one went to commune, beseech and give praise to the G-d of Israel.
Dionysius Exiguus’ influence upon the world was monumental for he represented a “horn power” shown in vision to Daniel the Prophet, when he wrote:
Daniel 7:25 – “He will speak words against the Supreme One, and he will exhaust the holy supreme ones [Holy Malbukim (Sages) of Judah], and he will plan to alter the (festival) seasons and the (Torah) law; and they will be given over into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time.”

************
The legitimacy of the Jewish people and their relevancy to give us a vignette of history from the Egyptian Empire in the days of Jacob and Joseph to today is summed up in one thought; they were there when every empire of the world made their bid to be the rulers of the world. They all disappeared and today once again are reasserting their rights to rule the global “New World Order”. Yet, the G-d of Israel has proclaimed that in the end, they all will disappear and Messianic Age of the Messiah in Jerusalem will rule the whole world.
As we have seen the world is quickly polarizing between “The Jews” and the “Nations of the World”. In the end that will be only two choices; we are either for the Hebrew Israelites; both now part of the Jews of the house of Judah and the Lost Israelites of the house of Israel or we will be against them. This comes to one sobering conclusion, if you are a descendant of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and you despise your brothers, the Jews, you will be left cohabitating with peoples who will have a genetic hatred to you even though you think you want to be a part of them.
So today, the G-d is whistling you to come back to the brotherhood of Klal Yisra’el (All Israel). To learn more about this redemptive process, you are Welcome to Contact “Kol Ha Tor”, the Voice of the Turtledove. Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and 10-Triber Mission to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United). This super Event of all Times will entail establishing in the region of Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness into a new homeland for the Return of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel when All Israel will finally be redeemed.
