Author Torati has composed a short but informative treatise regarding some of the differences between biblical truth and what has come to be accepted as but is not, in fact, biblical truth. The author focuses on the Council of Nicea, attended by the “ten kings” or representatives of ten European nations and convened by the Roman Emperor Constantine. The ten kings—concerned, the author believes, with their own earthly status—made major changes to the calendar. Torati states that at creation calendar time was divinely established, the days and months named, the number of hours per day, days per week, and month designated, but the Council instead incorporated numerous pagan rituals into the yearly and even daily cycles. Torati warns us that this was a satanically inspired move and presents us with the option to utilize, as he does, the old, scripturally-based order illustrated in his text.
Using biblical quotations and other records, Torati painstakingly demonstrates how and possibly why the Council changed the order of earthly time. An important example concerns Christmas. Their original word, Torati believes, was “Chrissmass,” referring to the assemblage of kings; further, he parses the word Noel as “no gods,” and the term “X-Mass” denoting a meeting of ten. His book includes words for days and months in several languages, showing how their meanings have been distorted. He exhorts readers to learn the correct names and their significance. He has devised a 2019 calendar to compare with one for the year 2054, which would be the correct earth year had the data not been changed at Nicea. Torati displays his mathematical and linguistic acumen as well as a diligent reading of historical records in this lively study, which may convince those new to his theme or reinforce the understanding of others more familiar with it.
