120.0) Progressive Intensity of the 7 Semesters of the Great Tribulation:
Introduction:
Today is November 22, 2008 the 6th Day of the 9th Month in the 2nd Semester of the Great Tribulation. The Financial Crisis continues. Job losses escalate. The Big 3 Auto Makers of GM, Ford, and Chrysler are in crisis and asking the U.S. Government for financial help. If the Auto Industry goes under, many other parts of the economy will be affected and 3 to 5 Million jobs could be lost. The affects on the U.S. economy would be catastrophic. This is just the latest problem to surface as the Global Financial Crisis deepens. Stock Markets are still plunging. Oil is $48 U.S. a barrel. The talk is no longer about inflation, but rather deflation. Deflation is what happened during the Great Depression of the 1930's when prices were lower than cost and many businesses went bankrupt. Like a ripple in a pond, these crises are ever widening and increasing in intensity.
As we go from one Semester to the next in the Great Tribulation, the trials and tribulations are increasing in intensity. If you consider the value of each Semester as a weight, then the weight becomes accumulative with the passing of each Semester. From scripture we can even determine the Weight Value or Intensity of Each of the 7 Semesters of the Great Tribulation.
Accumulative Multipliers of Intensity of the 7 Semesters of the Great Tribulation:
The 1st Day of the Great Tribulation on March 20, 2008 began the Last 4 Years of theLast 22 Years at the end of the 6000 Years from Adam. These Last 22 Years are synonymous with the 22 Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet. The Last 4 Years take on the value of the Last 4 Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet. March 20, 2008 began the 19th Year which represents the 19th Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. The 19th Letter Koph has a numerical value of 100, the 20th Letter Resh = 200, the 21st Letter Shin = 300 and the Last and 22nd Letter Tau = 400. Therefore, the 19th Year = 100, 20th Year = 200, 21st Year = 300 and the 22nd Year = 400.
Now since the 7 Semesters of the Great Tribulation are all 6 Month periods, we split each year into two 6 Month periods to get the appropriate value. For instance, the 19th Year = 100 = the 1st and 2nd Semesters so the 1st Semester = 50 and the 2nd Semester = 50. The 20th Year = 200 = 3rd and 4th Semesters so the 3rd Semester = 100and the 4th Semester = 100. The 21st Year = 300 = 5th and 6th Semesters where the 5th Semester = 150 and the 6th Semester = 150. The Last Year the 22nd Year = 400 = 7th and 8th Semesters where the 7th Semester = 200 and the 8th Semester = 200. Note that the numerical value of the Last 4 Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet are all multiples of 50! So now we can summarize the accumulative multiples of each Semester using the 1st Semester as the Base Unit and Standard of 50.
1st Sem. = 50 = 1x 50.
2nd Sem. = 50 + 50 = 2 x 50
3rd Sem. = 50 + 50 + 100 = 4 x 50.
4th Sem. = 50 + 50 + 100 + 100 = 6 x 50.
5th Sem. = 50 + 50 + 100 + 100 + 150 = 9 x 50.
6th Sem. = 50 + 50 + 100 + 100 + 150 + 150 = 12 x 50.
7th Sem. = 50 + 50 + 100 + 100 + 150 + 150 + 200 = 16 x 50.
So what does this all mean? From these accumulative multipliers we now have some idea as to how severe each Semester will be in comparison to the 1st Semester. We also can appreciate how great Yahuah's love and mercy is towards Man. In Matthew 24:21-22 we are told, "For then shall be Great Tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."
Keep in mind that after the Great Tribulation there is still the 8th Semester which will be cut short with the return of the Messiah. So Man will be spared the 8th Semester which would be:
8th Sem. = 50+50+100+100+150+150+200+200 = 20 x 50!
Now consider how perfect these numbers are. The number 50 indicates a Jubilee. The 50th Year, the Jubilee Year was a Year of release when those that were in bondage were released. See how perfect these accumulative multipliers are from the 1st Day of the Great Tribulation to the Messiah's return. The multipliers for the 7 Semesters of the Great Tribulation when added together = 1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 16 = 50!
Now the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares also begins to make sense for the Last Days. In this Parable the Messiah said that the Wheat Harvest will be the end of the World System. The end of Wheat Harvest was celebrated on the Feast of Pentecost on the 50th Day. The Wheat are the believers and the Tares are the wicked. Wheat Harvest will be complete with the Messiah's return.
Now consider Yahuah's mercy. When the children of Israel sinned they were punished and sent into captivity in Babylon for 70 Years. If the Great Tribulation was not cut short then it would have continued into the 8th Semester where the multipliers of the 1st Seven Semesters = 1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 16 = 50 plus the 8th Semester of 20 would equal 50 + 20 = 70! The Last 4 Years when equated with the Last 4 Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet = 100 + 200 + 300 + 400 = 1000 = 50 x 20! Notice again the perfect numbers of 50 and 20 which is suggestive of 50 + 20 = 70! The accumulative multipliers for the Last 4 Years = 50 + 20 = 70. While the total numerical value for the Last 4 Years = 50 x 20 which again carries the perfect numbers of 50 and 20 and suggests 50 + 20 = 70.
From these accumulative multipliers we can clearly see how terrible and severe each Semester will progressively get compared to the one before it. The 7th Semester will be 16X (times) worse than the 1st Semester. The end of the Great Tribulation will be so severe that if Yahuah did not cut the time short, no flesh would be left alive.
If you read the scriptures the only reason why Yahuah even punished Israel and sent them into Babylon for the 70 Years is because they would not repent of their wickedness. It was a 50th Year, a Jubilee Year when Yahuah commanded Israel to let those in bondage go free. At first Israel repented and let those in servitude go. But then relented and took those Hebrew servants back into bondage. Then Yahuah was angry with Israel and caused Israel to go into captivity for 70 Years as punishment as we read in Jeremiah 34:1-22; Leviticus 25:1-55; Jeremiah 25:1-38.
Accumulative Multipliers point to the Middle of the Great Tribulation:
The 4th Semester is the Middle of the 7 Semester Great Tribulation. The sum of the Multipliers for the 1st Four Semesters is 1 + 2 + 4 + 6 = 13. The Great Tribulation consists of 26 Jubilees of Days. The midpoint of the Great Tribulation is 13 Jubilees of Days. The Midpoint of the Great Tribulation is December 17, 2009 which is the 1st Day of the 10th Month, the 1st Day of Winter. December 17, 2009 is also the 39th Jubilee of Days of the 52 Jubilees of Days of the Last 7 Years to the Messiah's return. These 52 Jubilees of Days can be broken down into 4 Seasons of 13 Jubilees of Days each. The Last Season of 13 Jubilees of Days is Winter which will run from December 17, 2009 to the Messiah's return on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011.
Accumulative Multipliers also point to the Spring of 2010:
The 7 Trumpets of Revelation 8:1-13; 9:1-21; 10:1-11 give us a time-line just before the Messiah's return. The 7th Trumpet is the Messiah's return. The 5th Trumpet of 5 Months and the 6th Trumpet of 1 Year + 1 Month + 1 Day + 1 Hour gives 18 Months (plus 1 Day + 1 Hour) before the Messiah's reurn. These 18 Months are the 5th, 6th, and 7th Semesters of the Great Tribulation. Now consider the multipliers for the 7 Semesters of the Great Tribulation and the perfect numbers of their combinations. The 1st Three Semesters = 1 + 2 + 4 = 7! The 1st Four Semesters = 1 + 2 + 4 + 6 = 13! The 1st Five Semesters = 1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 9 = 22! The number 22 indicates completion. The 5th Semester of the Great Tribulation begins in Spring 2010. The 5th Trumpet begins in Spring 2010. Spring 2010 begins the Last 3 Semesters or Last 18 Months of the Great Tribulation = 5th and 6th Trumpet of Revelation.
So what does this all mean for the average Person on the Street Globally:
We can see the 1st Semester was hard hitting especially on the poor with fast rising cost of food, fuel, etc. The 1st Semester was the start of the Financial Crisis sparked by the sub-prime mortgage fiasco.
The 2nd Semester is now in full swing with a full blown Financial Crisis. Major Financial Institutions are failing and there is a threat of a total Financial meltdown. There are now Massive Job Layoffs which started in the Financial Sector and has spread quickly to manufacturing such as the Auto Sector. Sales for the busiest season in the year in December 2008 looks bleak. Now oil prices and the stock markets are plunging sharply. The Credit Crunch still has a death grip on the economy and things are getting worse.
Here is an analogy of what this gradual increase in Tribulation means. If you put a frog in a pot of cold water it does not move. You turn up the heat a little the water becomes luke warm and the frog gets used to it. Turn up the heat again to warm and the frog is getting accustomed to it. Turn up the heat to hot and by this time the frog is too fearful and dazed to move. Now finally ratch up the heat to boiling and the frog is toast. The frog never knew what hit it.
Here is another analogy but this time from a scriptural point of view. At the time of the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt, Moses approached Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. Pharaoh refused. Then Yahuah brought 10 Plagues upon Egypt. For the first few plagues the Egyptian Magicians told Pharaoh that they were just tricks. As the plagues progressed the Magicians realized that it was the very hand of Yahuah the Creator. But Pharaoh's heart was hardened that he would not let them go. But when the Last and Final Plague was unleashed which killed all the 1st Born of Man and Beast then Pharaoh thrust them out in a great hurry fearing total annihilation.
In both analogies the heat had to reach a boiling point before any action occurred. In the case of the frog inaction caused its death. In the case of the Exodus of the Children of Israel, they obeyed Yahuah and Yahuah protected them. They believed in Yahuah and were thrust out and released from over 400 Years of bondage.
With the 7 Semester Great Tribulation things will dramatically get worse and increase in intensity. People even in this early stage of the 2nd Semester are already lost for direction because their hope is in themselves and in their material goods. The only true hope of Salvation and Righteousness is in Yahuah through His beloved Son Yahuahshua and by His Holy Spirit. Yahuah gives us life, He sustains our life and He gives us the Hope of Eternal Life through the Messiah Yahuahshua. Moses came before the people and said in Deuteronomy 30:1-20, "I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live: That you may love Yahuah your Almighty, that you may obey his voice, and that you may cleave unto him: for he is your life, and the length of thy days ..."
Summary of the Jubilee Number of 50 during the Last 4 Years:
The Number 50 designates a Jubilee and is a number of completion and celebration. The Number 50 is dominant especially during the Last 4 Years of the 6000 Years from Adam. The Number 50 points to the Messiah's 2nd Coming on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011. From the 1st Day of the Great Tribulation on March 20, 2008 to the Messiah's return is exactly 50 Accumulative Multipliers (50X) = a Jubilee of Multipliers. The Messiah's return will be a real Jubilee Celebration to celebrate the reign of the King of Kings on Earth. The Messiah will establish Yahuah's Kingdom on Earth with great power and majesty. Heaven and Earth will rejoice at his coming. The series of 50's prophesied in scripture and related to time and the calendar all point to the Messiah's 2nd Coming.
The Last 4 Years equate with the Last 4 Letters of the 22 Letter Hebrew Alphabet. The Last 4 Letters have a numerical value of 100, 200, 300 and 400 respectively which are all multiples of 50. These Last 4 Years began with the 1st Day of the Great Tribulation on March 20, 2008.
The accumulative multipliers of the 7 Semesters of the Great Tribulation add up to 50. The accumulative multipliers for these 7 Semesters are 1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 16 = 50. The Messiah will return immediately after the Great Tribulation.
The Messiah gave the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares. The Wheat Harvest represents the end of the World and his 2nd Coming in this Parable. The End of the Wheat Harvest was celebrated on the Day of Pentecost the 50th Day.
The Messiah will return on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011 in the 6000th Year from Adam. In Genesis 6:3 Yahuah limits Man's time to 120 Years. 6000 Years = 120 x 50!
The whole earth groans for the redemption of the World. When the Messiah returns Heaven and Earth will rejoice. The Messiah's 2nd Coming will be a colossal and majestic event, a Jubilee of Jubilees!
Conclusion:
"Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the Last Days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, cries: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of Yahuah. You have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you." James 5:1-6.
These Last 4 Years all point to the Messiah's return with their multiple numerical values of 50. The sacred number 50 stands for Jubilee, release from bondage and Judgment. The Messiah will usher in a Jubilee of Jubilees at his 2nd Coming. Satan will be bound for 1000 Years and we will have Peace and Joy as this world has never experienced before.
The 7 Semesters of the Great Tribulation are an upward movement of ever increasing intensity and tribulation. Each succeeding Semester from the 1st to the 7th Semester will be ever so more intense than the previous one. The 1st Semester has an intensity of 1X (1 times) while the Last and 7th Semester will culminate with an intensity of 16X (16 times) more intense than the 1st Semester.
The very stamp and ever present Number 50 in these Last Days is a form of rejoicing, preparation, and constant reminder of the coming grand celebration of the Messiah's 2nd Coming and soon return. It is a prelude and a form of fireworks, if you will, celebrating his return. It is heralding Yahuah's coming righteousness and justice through His beloved Son Yahuahtsadaq the King of Kings.
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. But seek you first the kingdom of Yahuah, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:19-21,33.

121.0) 70 Weeks of Daniel and the Opening of the 5th Seal of Revelation:
Introduction:
Today is December 16, 2008 the 30th Day of the 9th Month. The 70 Week Prophecy of Daniel 9:24is the key to understanding the timing for the Opening of the 5th Seal of Revelation 6:9-11. Daniel 9:24 reads, "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon the holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy." This verse clearly talks about the Messiah's 2nd Coming and that 70 Weeks are determined upon the believers which are his people just before his return.
The Messiah's 2nd Coming will be on September 15, 2011 on the Feast of Trumpets on the 1st Day of the 7th Month. If we count back 70 Weeks from there, we go back to the 27th Day of the 2nd Month on May 13, 2010. To understand the importance of the 27th Day of the 2nd Month we have to go back in time to the Messiah's 1st Coming.
The 27th Day of the 2nd Month in 30CE was the 40th Day after the Messiah's resurrection from the dead and the very day that he ascended up into heaven (Acts 1:3,9-11). From the 27th Day of the 2nd Month to the Feast of Pentecost was 10 Days. So from the Messiah's resurrection from the dead to his ascension was 40 Days then 10 Days to Pentecost where Pentecost is the 50th Day (40 + 10 = 50). To understand this properly we have to further research the time of the Messiah's 1st Coming.
The meaning of Time during the Messiah's 1st Coming:
From the 1st Day of Creation on Sunday the 28th Day of the 12th Month to the Sabbath on the 6th Day of the 3rd Month one day just before Pentecost is 70 Days = 10 Weeks. The Day of Pentecost is the 71st Day. These 70 Days break down into 22 + 26 + 22 = 70 Days. The 1st 22 Days run from the 1st Day of Creation to the 18th Day of the 1st Month. The 18th Day of the 1st Month was the day after the Messiah's resurrection, the Sheaf Offering of the Barley, the start of the Barley Harvest, and the 1st Day of the 50 Day count to Pentecost. The next 26 Days was Barley Harvest. and the Last 22 Days was Wheat Harvest.
From the Sheaf Offering of the Barley on the 18th Day of the 1st Month to the ascensionof the Messiah up into Heaven on the 27th Day of the 2nd Month is 40 Days. From the 28th Day of the 2nd Month to Pentecost on the 7th Day of the 3rd Month is 10 Days. The Grain Harvest started with the Sheaf Offering of the Barley and went to the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) consisting of 50 Days. 40 + 10 = 50. The Messiah's 1st Coming represents the start of the Barley Harvest and the Last 10 Days to Pentecost represents the end of Wheat Harvest of Believers just before his 2nd Coming.
The meaning of Time during the Messiah's 2nd Coming:
The Messiah's 2nd Coming will be on September 15, 2011 on the Feast of Trumpets. If we count back the 70 Weeks of Daniel from his 2nd Coming we backtrack to the 27th Day of the 2nd Month on May 13, 2010. In the Last 7 Years to the Messiah's 2nd Coming, May 13, 2010 on the 27th Day of the 2nd Month is the 42nd Jubilee of Days. The Last 7 Years to the Messiah's return = 52 Jubilees of Days. So from the 27th Day of the 2nd Month on May 13, 2010 to the Messiah's return is 10 Jubilees of Days where 42 Jubilees of Days + 10 Jubilees of Days = 52 Jubilees of Days. The Messiah will return on the 52nd Jubilee of Days on September 15, 2011 which is a 50th.
70 Weeks = 70 Weeks x 7 Days per Week = 490 Days = 10 x 49 Days = 10 Jubilees of Days. So from the 27th Day of the 2nd Month on May 13, 2010 to the Messiah's return on September 15, 2011 is 490 Days. From his return to the Day of Atonement is an additional 10 Days. Now we have 490 Days + 10 Days = 500 Days = 10 x 50 Days. So the Messiah returns on a 50th (52nd Jubilee of Days) and 10 Days latter he Judges the World on the Day of Atonement which will be the 500th or 10 x 50th Day. Note the Number 10 represents Judgment. This makes sense as the Jubilee Year was always celebrated on the Day of Atonement. The Day of Atonement was a Day of Judgment as well as a Day of Release for those in bondage. Notice also how the numbers 10 and 50 keep coming up in relation to his 2nd Coming. 10 = Judgment. 50 = Jubilee. The Messiah will Judge the World when he returns and there will be Great Jubilation, a time of great rejoicing and celebration both in Heaven and on Earth at his return, a time of Jubilee of Jubilees.
Significance of the Number 70:
The Children of Israel were in bondage in Babylon for 70 Years because of the evil that they did. In the Jubilee Year they refused to let their fellow Israelites go free from servitude. So Yahuah was angry with them and put them into bondage. When they should have been rejoicing in the Jubilee Year, instead they reaped Judgment. In a similar way the 70 Weeks Prophecy of Daniel for our time is determined upon believers (upon Yahuah's people) for a time of testing, refining, and purifying just before the Messiah's 2nd Coming.
In Daniel 9:24 the 70 Weeks are a Judgment determined upon the people of Yahuah and on the Holy City of Jerusalem. The 5th Seal of Revelation 6:9-11 will be open on the 1st Day of these 70 Weeks on the 27th Day of the 2nd Month on May 13, 2010. During these 70 Weeks believers will be killed for the Word of Yahuah and for their testimony. Believers can expect their baptism by fire to begin with the start of these 70 Weeks on May 13, 2010 on the 27th Day of the 2nd Month.
The 2 Witnesses (Elijah = EliYahu and Enoch = Hanuch) will be killed in the 70th Week as they are the Last sacrifice and oblation before the Messiah returns. Their bodies will be on display for 3 1/2 Days (Revelation 11:3-12). Then the Messiah returns (Revelation 11:13-19). These 70 Weeks are based on the Jubilees of Days Cycles and the 7 Day cycles which start on the 5th Day of the Week (Wednesday Night to Thursday Night). These are not regular Weekly Cycles.
The Feast of Weeks (Feast of Pentecost) marked the end of Wheat Harvest. Even the Hebrew Name "Feast of Weeks" could refer to the 70 Weeks of Daniel as both terminate Wheat Harvest, the former Grain Harvest and the latter the Final Harvest of Believers. The 10 Days after the Messiah's ascension into Heaven were the Last 10 Days of Wheat Harvest. In the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares the Messiah compares the Wheat to believers and the end of Wheat Harvest to the time of his 2nd Coming. The Number 10 represents Judgment. The 70 Weeks before his 2nd Coming = 490 Days = 10 x 49 = 10 Jubilees of Days. The 5th Seal of Reveleation 6:9-11 is the time when believers will be slain for the Word of Yahuah, and the testimony which they held just before the Messiah's return. The 6th Seal is the Messiah's 2nd Coming.
70 Weeks = 52 Weeks + 18 Weeks = 26 Weeks + 26 Weeks + 18 Weeks. The 70 Weeks back from the Messiah's 2nd Coming = 1 Year + 18 Weeks back to the 27th Day of the 2nd Month in 2010. The 18 Week remainder moving forward amazingly is again the exact distance from the 27th Day of the 2nd Month in 2011 to the 1st Day of the 7th Month in 2011 to the Messiah's Coming. 18 Weeks = 18 Weeks x 7 Days per Week = 126 Days = 4 x 26 + 22! In Acts 1:10-11 the two Angels said to the Believers that as they saw the Messiah go up into Heaven so shall he come in like manner as they saw him go. The Messiah will descend from Heaven on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011 just 70 Weeks after the 27th Day of the 2nd Month in 2010 which represented his ascension into Heaven at his 1st Coming. The 18 Weeks from the 27th Day of the 2nd Month to the Feast of Trumpets every year is a constant reminder of his ascension into Heaven at his 1st Coming and his descending from Heaven at his 2nd Coming. The Number 18 represents the 18th Hebrew Letter Tsaddi and stands for Righteousness. At his 2nd Coming the Messiah will no longer be called Yahuahshua (Salvation of Yahuah) the Lamb of Yahuah but will come in the full power of his New Name of Yahuahtsadaq (Righteousness of Yahuah) as the Lion of the Tribe of Yahudah and as King of Kings.
The end of Wheat Harvest is celebrated on the Feast of Pentecost on the 71st Day after the 1st Day of Creation. In the Last Days the Harvest of Believers will be celebrated at the start of the 71st Week after the end of the 70 Weeks of Daniel with Messiah's 2nd Coming. The Feast of Pentecost is a Jubilee of 50 Days. The Messiah's 2nd Coming will be on the 52nd Jubilee of Days, a 50th Day Jubilee.
Summary:
The 6th Seal, 7th Trumpet, and 7th Vial of Revelation are all the same event, namely, the 2nd Coming of the Messiah. (Note: The 7 Seals run independent of the 7 Trumpets and the 7 Vials. While the 7 Trumpets and 7 Vials run parallel to each other). Keeping this in mind let us summarize the timing for these events so far:
The 7 Seals of Revelation:
The First three Seals are already open.
The 4th Seal will be open on December 17, 2009 with the 1st Day of Winter on the 1st Day of the 10th Month.
The 5th Seal will be open on May 13, 2010 on the 27th Day of the 2nd Month.
The 6th Seal will be open on September 15, 2011 on the Feast of Trumpets on the 1st Day of the 7th Month with the Messiah's 2nd Coming.
The 7 Trumpets and 7 Vials of Revelation:
The 7 Trumpets and 7 Vials of Revelation run parallel to each other and occur at the same time to each other.
The First four Trumpets and First four Vials will occur sometime from now to the 1st Day of the 1st Month on March 18, 2010. These First four Trumpets and Vials will take place soon during the 2nd Year of the Great Tribulation in 2009.
The 5th Trumpet and 5th Vial will take place in the Spring of 2010 on March 18, 2010 on the 1st Day of the 1st Month and will last 5 Months.
The 6th Trumpet and 6th Vial will occur on August 16, 2010 on the 1st Day of the 6th Month and will last 1 Year, 1 Month, 1 Day and 1 Hour.
The 7th Trumpet and 7th Vial will happen on September 15, 2011 on the Feast of Trumpets on the 1st Day of the 7th Month with the Messiah's return.
Current Events:
As unemployment skyrockets, we are seeing violence boiling over all over the world. Immigrant workers are targeted who are seen as taking jobs from locals. We are seeing seething riots erupting in countries like France, Germany, Russia, South Africa, etc.
Now that we are going from Global Recession into Global Depression, massive job losses will compound the problem. Fear, frustration, anger and a sense of helplessness will prevail.
These conditions will be ripe for the introduction of a worldly saviour -- the 1st Beast of Revelation 13:1-18 who will promise stability in exchange for total domination of all mankind. The Beast will impose the Mark of the Beast and a total control of buying and selling thus solving the Global Financial Crisis.
The Beast will make it mandatory to worship his image and compulsory to take his Name, Mark and/or Number.
Note: World Wide, the Stock Markets lost more than $30 Trillion in 2008 during the 1st Year of the Great Tribulation.
Conclusion:
Whatever you understand or believe, the reality is that Judgment is at the door and knocking!
Be prepared to meet your maker and to stand before the Judgment Seat of Yahuah in the face of Yahuahtsadaq His beloved Son.

122.0) The 4 Phases of the Great Tribulation:
Introduction:
Today is April 8, 2009 the 21st Day of the 1st Month, the 7th Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread on the Sacred Calendar. The 1st Year of the Great Tribulation is now complete. We have now begun the 2nd Year of the Great Tribulation. During the 1st Year of the Great Tribulation the world lost 40 to 50 percent or about $40 Trillion of its wealth with the Global Financial Crisis. Yet the Financial Crisis still has not reached bottom. Jobs are still being lost on a massive scale. In the United States alone 4.4 Million jobs have been lost in the past year. In China, over 20 Million jobs are gone.
Once the pain, suffering, fear and frustration of countless millions kicks in, then we can excpect mass demonstrations, riots, looting, and civil unrest world-wide. The boiling point for this unrest is looming for this Summer in 2009 probably in July or August of 2009.
The 3 1/2 Year Great Tribulation can be broken down into 4 Phases. The 1st Phase is the 1st Year of the Great Tribulation which was one of shock and unbelief. The 2nd Phase is the 2nd Year which will be one of anger, frustration and violence because of fear of losing jobs and homes. In Third World countries the high cost of food has still not subsided. The 3rd Phase will be the 3rd Year when the Governments will have to take control to prevent mass hysteria and to restore law and order to their populations. The 4th Phase will be the Last 6 Months when Satan and the Beast will have total control of the World when the Mark, Name, Number and Image of the Beast will be forced unto all Mankind.
The 4 Phases of the Great Tribulation:
1st Phase, Year 1:
Phase 1 of the Great Tribulation is now complete. Phase 1 was from Spring 2008 to Spring 2009. The 1st Year of the Great Tribulation was one of shock and bewilderment.
The Mortgage Crisis, the Credit Crunch, High Unemployment, and high cost of Food all have taken their toll on the peoples of the World on the rich and poor alike.
2nd Phase, Year 2:
Phase 2 of the Great Tribulation has now begun. Phase 2 will be from Spring 2009 to Spring 2010. This 2nd Year of the Great Tribulation will be one of violence, crime, and civil unrest. Mismanagement of world economies and misuse of taxpayer money is causing resentment and outrage especially by the poor who are suffering the most. Phase 2 will see the frustration and rage of the people unleashed. Desperate people do desperate things. Summer 2009 will reach a boiling point. Violence and crime will spill unto the streets especially in poorer Nations. Despair, frustration and anger has already resulted in demonstrations and riots throughout the World. Millions of people are losing their homes and jobs. This is causing despair and helplessness resulting in crime and suicide, the hearts of men failing them for fear of what is coming.
With the loss of over 4.4 Million jobs in the U.S. alone in just the past year, we are now clearly at the Front end of a Great Depression. Many more job losses are predicted for 2009. With so many people hurting and fearful of losing their jobs the powers that be will push through major reforms especially in the Financial Sector. You can count on the Mark of the Beast as being part of the upcoming change.
Not since the Tower of Babel has the whole World been forced by circumstance to come together and to act with singleness of purpose to tackle such problems as the Financial, Food, Armed Conflict and Climatic Change Crises.
3rd Phase, Year 3:
The 3rd Phase will be the 3rd Year of the Great Tribulation. Phase 3 will be from Spring 2010 to Spring 2011. Because of the civil unrest, Governments will be forced to take control of their populations by use of Martial Law, Financial Controls, Rationing, and even introducing Internment Camps. Financial Controls will see the introduction of the Mark, Name, and Number of the Beast System. This could be in the form of a tatoo or microchip implant on the hand or forehead. No Man will be able to buy or sell except they have the Mark, Name, or Number of the Beast.
The only thing that got the World out of the Great Depression of the 1930's and created mass instant employment was World War 2. Everything is pointing to Spring 2010 when the shit (pardon the expression) will hit the fan and things will accelerate.
4th Phase, Last 1/2 Year:
Phase 4 is the Last 6 Months of the Great Tribulation from Spring 2011 to Fall 2011. These Last 6 Months is the conclusion of the Beast System and will culminate with the return of the Messiah on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011. The World will see the enthronement of Satan through the 1st and 2nd Beast of Revelation 13. These Last 6 Months will be horrific with all the vengeance of Satan and the wrath of Yahuah being unleashed upon the whole World. The total control of the World by the 1st and 2nd Beast (essentially enthroned) will bring down the wrath of Yahuah upon the Beast System. The 7 Vials of Revelation 16:1-21 will be poured out some time during the Last 1 1/2 Years of the Great Tribulation from Spring 2010 to Fall 2011.
Financial Crisis Continues:
The World Financial System is like a runaway train. It will take time to slow its destruction and to change its direction. One thing for sure there is no turning back. We are at the end of an era in the Financial World. There are birth pangs of a new form of capitalism. Major changes are on the horizon. The World Global Economic System is in transition. In London, England the G20 Nations met to find solutions to the Financial Crisis. They came up with another $1 Trillion stimulous package to pump into the World Economy. They are discussing new rules to revamp the Global Financial System. But no sure way to stop the slide.
On a documentary about the current Financial Crisis it was stated that "we will not go back to the old banking system." If that is the case what is the New Banking System and will it incorporate the Mark of the Beast? Financial Analysts are now talking about the necessity to revamp and update the entire Global Financial System. And when this happens you can be sure that the Mark of the Beast wil be an integral part of this New World Order Financial System.
Summer 2009 will begin civil unrest enmasse worldwide. This will give Governments the excuse to incorporate bio identification systems to control the Masses. These bio identification systems will be integrated into the New Financial System as the Mark of the Beast. The violence of 2009 will force Governments to control their populations with bio metric identification systems. From the outside the introduction of the Mark of the Beast will look like a necessary, progressive and natural development that wil come in stages. And because of the fear and violence, the people will readily accept it.
The 5th Trumpet of Revelation will begin Spring 2010. Those that do not have the Seal of Yahuah (the Name of the Messiah and Yahuah's Holy Spirit) will be tormented for 5 Months. The opposite to the Seal of Yahuah is the Mark of the Beast.
China is now talking about a need for a New World Currency because of its concern for the devaluation of the U.S. Dollar of which it holds over $2 Trillion plus its possession of other forms of U.S. debt.
Invisible Corral to Control the Masses:
With the fear of job losses, down sizing of the economy, recession, depression, etc. more and more Families are heavily investing in home entertainment. The home is becoming their bunker and safe haven. Satan is using the old strategy to divide and conquer. People no longer have the security of a collective community. Home entertainment and electronic devices are booming in sales while the rest of the economy is suffering, and there is a reason. Modern man is duped and hooked on the addiction of worshipping the Digital Image of the Beast. The Number, Name and Mark of the Beast is coming soon too, very, very, soon; as early as December 17, 2009.
The Image of the Beast is being established first. Just as an animal is dazed by a strong headlight at night on the road, so all of mankind is dazed, manipulated, seduced, and his mind conquered by the Image of the Beast.
All the 7 Vials of Revelation will be poured out once the Beast System introduces the economic Number, Name, and Mark of the Beast for buying and selling. This is due shortly, once the Financial Crisis becomes so severe and catastrophic that the Governments of the World will have no other option but to inforce new laws to establish the Number, Name, and Mark of the Beast System.
The Image, Number, Name, and Mark of the Beast System are being implemented in stages. March 20, 2008 started the Great Tribulation and the Beast began his rule through the Financial Crisis where Governments no longer had control of their individual National destinies. All Nations have been pulled into the crisis and no Nation on Earth has any control. All Nations have to conform to the whim of the Global oneness of the Beast System or suffer the consequences. Catastrophe is the catalyst for change. This Financial Crisis is the means by which the Number, Name, and Mark of the Beast will come to realization.
Even remote 3rd World villages have satellite T.V. and computer hook-up even if they do not have access to a hydro line for their electricity. They use solar or wind power, or have portable generators.
The Great Tribulation did not come in with a bang. Instead it came in with stealth and was almost unnoticed. The same is happening with the introduction of the Image of the Beast. We have been conditioned by stages. First came the analog T.V. with its crude form of rabbit ears, T.V. antenna towers, and snowy signals. Now with cable T.V. we are getting sharp, crisp images. With the new digital T.V. it seems so real that it feels like you can almost walk into the image. The image seems so real because of High Definition and High Resolution imaging. Analog signals were soothing and relaxing sinewave signals which produced a cruder and more primitive image. Digital signals produce a sharp high definition and very real image but are square sinewaves that are hard on the human mind.
The people are so hooked on new technology that Satan and the Beast System will control the individual through electronic means. The new bank cards are smart cards with a computer chip. Credit Cards and Debit Cards are used to purchase food, fuel, merchandise, pay bills, etc. which is tracked. The new cars have GPS (Global Positioning System) on board to track your movements. The T.V., cell phones, video games, and other electronic gadgets are affecting our minds and our whole way of life. There is no escape. Cameras track our movements wherever we go, security cameras are everywhere. If you think for one moment that you are in control of your life, you are sadly mistaken.
The Mark of the Beast:
The structure for the Mark of the Beast already exists. It just has to be implemented. Whenever official documents are signed there is usually an "X" mark where the signature has to go. Many officials will put an "X" where you are to sign your Name for identification. The reason and history behind using the "X" mark was due to illiteracy. People who could not read or write their name usually just put an "X" as a marker for their name. In some institutions like prisons or medical institutions a number is used instead of a name. So for identification, we commonly use a Mark, Name, or Number to identify a person, even today. Years ago most documents were hand written. Then with the invention of the typewriter it was typed. Then electronic records came into existence using analog or digital signals. Now we are in the final phase where everything is being forced to use DIGITAL signals to record and display info whether by computer, T.V., Video, telephone, etc.
Members of Parliament in Italy have been caught regularly voting for absent Members. The Government has now introduced a security system where Members have to use a Smart Card in conjunction with a finger print scan to vote.
We have now come full circle where the people are so conditioned to readily accept these new forms of tracking, recording and identifying that it will only be a very small step to forcing people to accept the FINAL STAGE: The Mark, Number, or Name of the Beast on the hand or forehead.
The U.S. Congress has set June 12, 2009 as the final deadline for terminating analog broadcasts. Under the Law, on February 17, 2009 some full-power broadcast television stations in the United States may stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital. The remaining stations may stop broadcasting analog sometime between April 16, 2009 and June 12, 2009. Note, June 12, 2009 on the Sacred Calendar is the 26th Day of the 3rd Month. The Image of the Beast is Digital. Most people around the world are already addicted to T.V. and other types of electronic devices big time.
At the Time of the Tower of Babel -- Man united against Yahuah and acted in Unity. So Yahuah scattered Man with confusion by inflicting Man with diversity of languages. Now Man again is united by a common cause, this time a Global Financial Crisis which affects every Nation on Earth. Man again is united in the form of the New World Order and is ready to select a leader to lead them. This new leader will be the 1st Beast of Revelation 13. All Nations will bow down and be subservient to the Beast.
The Nations will gladly accept any conditions to prevent a catastrophe in their respective countries, even making their own citizens take the Name, Number, or Mark of the Beast and worship his Image. Once in power, the 1st Beast will forge a One World Government. To create total global security the Beast will force all both great and small to take a Mark to identify them as citizens of the New World Order. Once tagged, each individual will be under the total control of the Beast System. Just think, the Beast will promise no more crime, and total stability and security at the price of your freedom and at the loss of your eternal soul.
The world will be unified under the 1st Beast as a one world Government but will be fragile as the 10 toes of clay mixed with iron as prophesied in the Book of Daniel (see Daniel 2:31-35).
The electronic devices of our age have stupefied the people into mindless zombies, apathetic and helpless -- spiritually, mentally, and physically destitute. A people chasing their own tails not knowing where to turn. Having no direction, having rejected and abandoned their Creator. Rejecting their sustainer, guide and hope.
The Microchip is the Most logical choice for the Mark of the Beast:
The New Bank and Credit Cards are Smart Cards which have a microchip to identify the user. The most natural next step will be to implant a microchip into the hand or forehead of the user for security and identification. It will be a small step to go from a microchip on the card to a microchip on the human hand or forehead.
Domestic farm animals and pets are already microchiped. The natural next step is to implant microchips into all human beings in the name of security and control.
In one form or another all human beings will be controlled and tracked. To be able to function in this New World Order most people have at least one or more forms by which they are wired into the system. Most people have a Library Card, Driver's License, Bank Card, Credit Card, Debit Card, Health Card, Citizenship Card, Passport, National ID Card, Store Cards and Gas Cards to collect points, cars with GPS, trackable Cell Phones, etc. which will all lead to biometric identification of each Human Being on the Planet Earth. The end goal is to tag every Human Being with the Mark of the Beast. The technology is here now and has been gradually implemented in recent years.
It is a small step from a Smart Card chip to a chip on the body. It is not a question of if, but when and what kind of chip. An RF (Radio Frequency) chip can be detected and monitored within 30 Feet and then relayed by receivers to a central computer.
More Perfect Numbers:
The Children of Israel were in Egypt for 430 Years (Exodus 12:40-41). 430 = (14 x 26 = 364) + (3 x 22 = 66). After 430 Years of bondage in Egypt, the Children of Israel came out with a high hand in triumph over their oppressors. This also applies to our time. We too can overcome the evil of our day by trusting in Yahuah through His beloved Son Yahuahshua.
If you count back 430 Years from Fall 2011 (the Messiah's 2nd Coming) you go back to the beginning of the age of the printing of the Bible using a printing press. The printing of the Bible came with the invention of the printing press. This made the Bible available to the masses. The printing press made it possible to spread the Word of Yahuah into all the World. The Last 66 Years to the Messiah's 2nd Coming began in 1945 with the dropping of the Atomic Bomb, the start of the Nuclear Age and the formation of the United Nations. With the invention of the computer and the internet the Word of Yahuah has now reached the four corners of the Globe where none has any excuse of not hearing or reading His Word of Salvation and Righteousness.
There was also a siege of Jerusalem prophesied for 430 Days for the iniquity of Israel and Yahudah (Judah) in Ezekiel 4:1-17. Ezekiel was to lie on his left side for 390 Days for the iniquity of the House of Israel. He was to lie on his right side for 40 Days for the iniquity for the House of Yahudah (Judah). 390 Days + 40 Days = 430 Days. The siege of Jerusalem would be so severe that the food had to be weighed out by measure indicating famine. The water also had to be measured out indicating drought. This is also a prophecy for our time when we will have famine and drought becasue of man's destruction of this beautiful planet Earth, Yahuah's Creation.
Daniel's prophecy of 1290 Days for our time (Daniel 12:11) = 3 x 430 Days. This is how the 1290 Day prophecy of Daniel looks for the Last Days. 1290 Days = 3 x 430 Days. 430 Days = 360 Days + 70 Days. 1290 Days = (3 x 360 Days) + (3 x 70 Days). 1290 Days = 3 Years (360 Days per Year not counting Intercalary Days) + 210 Days (3 x 70 Days). This 1290 Days is immediately before the Messiah's return. From the time the Messiah returns on the Feast of Trumpets to the Day of Atonement is another 10 Days. So after the first 3 Years there is a remainder of 210 Days + 10 Days = 220 Days. 220 is the numerical value of the Messiah's future name of Yahuahtsadaq. The Messiah will rule and Judge the World on the Day of Atonement in Fall 2011 on September 24, 2011.
Note: The 70 Weeks of Daniel will begin on May 13, 2010 and will continue for 70 Weeks up to the Messiah's return on September 15, 2011 on the Feast of Trumpets. 70 Weeks = 490 Days. From the Messiah's return to the Day of Atonement is another 10 Days. 490 Days + 10 Days = 500 Days = 10 x 50 Days. So the Day of Atonement just after his return will be a Jubilee of Jubilees, a Day of Judgement and a Great Day of Jubilation for the Righteous.
Conclusion:
Satan has already come down unto this world and is controlling it partly through addiction and fear. Addiction control is through alcohol, drugs, gambling, tobacco, caffeine, sugar, junk food, compulsive buying, video games, T.V., cell phones, etc. Fear control is through the fear of loss of jobs, homes, and the artificial fabricated comforts of modern living. The people are hooked, helpless, and herded like cattle in whatever direction that Satan wants to drive them.
Peace and Safety has been taken from the world. They say peace but there is no peace. Satan has come down to you and is full of wrath because he knows that his time is short. The simple pleasures of living is gone. People are sick because of bad eating habits. Overeating is causing obesity and too much sugar is causing diabetes. This unhealthy life style is killing the people enmasse. Addiction to video games, T.V., etc. is making zombies of the people so they can be driven as mindless animals by Satan at his will.
The people have forgotten the simple and wholesome way of life like strong Family ties that would normally give strength, stability, security, love, and true comfort in uncertain times like these. The people have forgotten the simple joys of kindness, courtesy, and respect for others. The joy of watching a sunset or sunrise or a stroll in the park with a friend or spouse is forgotten for fear of going out.
What has happened to this beautiful world that Yahuah has created? Satan has corrupted the world through lust and greed which was substituted for justice and righteousness. Man has sown to the wind being caught in the grip of Satan's demonic influence and will reap the whirlwind. Satan has blinded the eyes of the people to the truth and has deceived them. The deception is so strong that if it were possible even the very elect would be deceived. "Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues." (Revelation 18:4).
"Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
The joy is gone and is taken from the Earth for Satan has come down to you. Even so come Yahuahshua and restore Peace and Joy to the World. The whole Earth groans for your coming.

123.0)The 4 Elements of the Beast System are quickly creeping upon us:
Introduction:
Today is May 27, 2009 the 10th Day of the 3rd Month.
The 4 Elements of the Beast System are the Mark, Name, Number and Image of the Beast. Satan will take control of the whole world by these 4 Elements. Satan has given his power unto the Beast and Satan will rule through the Beast System (Revelation 13:2). We are now beginning to see the first signs of these 4 Elements put into Law. The whole purpose of these 4 Elements is to control the masses.
A form of the 1st Element, the Image of the Beast has been around for some time but is now taking its final form which is Digital. On June 12, 2009 all T.V. broadcasting in the U.S. has to be Digital. Analog signals will no longer be available. Other countries will be following suit.
The 2nd Element, the Number of the Beast is the Number of a Man (Revelation 13:18). Computer chips embedded in such items as credit cards, bank cards, Passports, the Enhanced Driver's License, etc. contain the unique Identification Number of a Man. On June 1, 2009 all people crossing the border into or out of the U.S. must have a valid Passport or other authorized form of Identification. These new Passports have embedded flexible chips. The new Enhanced Driver's License will be available starting June 1, 2009 for border crossing by land and sea but not by air. These EDL (Enhanced Driver's License) have an RFID chip which only has one item in it, a unique Identification Number to ID the user. The RFID (Radio Frequencey Identification) chip is remotely accessible and detectable.
The 3rd Element, the Name of the Beast is not yet apparent. However, the Name of the Beast is in some way directly connected to the New World Order.
The 4th Element, the Mark of the Beast will be the most deadly. The Mark of the Beastwill be put onto the human body on the hand or the forehead. In ancient times slaves and bond servants were identified with a visible mark on the human body. The Mark of the Beast will serve the same purpose. We can expect the introduction of the Mark of the Beast starting just before the Spring of 2010.
Biblical References:
1) Image of the Beast: Revelation 13:14-15; 14:9-11; 15:2; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4 (Image).
2) Mark of the Beast: Revelation 13:16-17; 14:9-11; 15:2; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4 (Mark, Mark of his Name).
3) Name of the Beast: Revelation 13:17; 14:11; 15:2 (Name, Number of his Name, Mark of his Name).
4) Number of the Beast: Revelation 13:17-18; 15:2 (Number, Number of his Name).
Note: In the oldest Greek New Testament Manuscript P47 of Revelation 13:18 "666" is written as 3 Greek Letters of Chi, Xi, Sigma with a line over them indicating a Number, Name or Word (see Topic 3.2) above).
In Topic 3.2) we have shown that 666 in the Roman Counting system is represented by the combination of all 6 Roman Letters that can also be used as Numbers. The 6 Roman Letters = 666 which can be arranged as DICLUX = which means "Gods of Light". This makes perfect sense for our time. The images, writing, and numbers appear on TV, Computer screens, cell phone screens, etc. as Images of Light. Our whole modern system is based on computers that generate information and images using a binary numbering system and digital signals. We live in a world of illusion. A fantasy world created by Satan to deceive the whole world.
As you can see the 4 Elements of the Beast System are creeping upon us quickly. We have been conditioned to slowly accept these Elements without even realizing what is happening to us.
Don't be fooled or deceived. By accepting and embracing the 4 Elements of the Beast, people will lose their Eternal Life. In Revelation 14:9-11 we are clearly warned about the consequences of accepting the 4 Elements of the Beast: "If any man worship the Beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Yahuah, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day or night, who worship the Beast and his image, and whosoever receives the Mark of his Name."
The RFID (Radio Frequency ID) microchip:
The Enhanced Driver's License is just the first of many ways in which the RFID chip will be embedded and used for identification. Other forms will be Health Cards, Passports, National ID Card, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Bank Cards, Employee Cards, Social Security Card, Library Cards, etc. Eventually it will be embedded on the hand or forehead of the user.
The first example of the use of the Number of the Beast will become a reality on June 1, 2009 with the introduction of the RFID chip for ID with the use of an official government ID device.
With mandatory Digital Broadcasting on June 12, 2009 the reality of the Image of the Beast will blend in with virtual reality of the Image World of the Beast System.
The Enhanced Driver's License also doubles for a National ID Card as the Ontario EDL has "CAN" on one corner to identify the holder as a Canadian Citizen.
Current Passports have a built-in chip in the jacket. As of June 1, 2009 all border crossings between Canada and the U.S. will require a Passport (for Air, Land, and Sea). If the Border Crossing is by Land or Sea then the Enhanced Driver's License will also be acceptable. Eventually other forms of Bio-Metric ID equivalents will also be used.
Image of the Beast:
The Image of the Beast has to be visual not audio. But subliminal messages can be inserted into both video and audio devices. All one-on-one electronic devices that have a video screen such as T.V., Computer monitors, cash registers, game machines, cell phones, etc. which are all Digital will all be linked to the Image of the Beast. The only question now is the use or misuse of these electronic devices. In scripture it talks about the worship of the Image of the Beast. At what point does using these electronic devices become an act of worship? Does worship mean an addiction to these image machines? Compulsive watching of T.V., Video Games, cell phones, etc. is a form of worship on a one-on-one basis. Can these devices be used legitimately on a limited basis for work as a cashier, computer operator, etc. or for using a computer for any kind of work?
Watching T.V. has an hypnotic affect that draws the mind and spirit into the image. So can the misuse of computers, cell phones, Video Game machines, etc. be addictive. But can using these devices as a tool for work be allowed? This is open for prayer and debate. The worship of the Image of the Beast can be a question of use or misuse of all video equipment. Question is, where is the cutoff point? Is it OK to watch T.V. for news, weather and other useful info without being drawn into it for mindless addictive viewing hour upon hour? This is an open debate for all believers to pray about because it seriously affects every aspect of our daily lives. We shouldn't throw out the babe with the bath water because we don't understand the proper use or misuse of these new technologies. Limited use of these technologies may be allowed if used properly with selfcontrol. Question is where to draw the line!! The key word is "WORSHIP" of the Image of the Beast and at what stage does it become a form of worship.
What does worshiping the Image of the Beast involve? Does a workaholic qualify? Does someone addicted to T.V., Video Games, etc. qualify? Is using electronic devices as tools for a short and specific purpose such as to get info, news, weather reports OK? At what point does it become worship?
Why is worshiping the Image of the Beast of Revelation 13 so deadly? Because it breaks the 1st and 2nd Commandments of the 10 Commandments of Yahuah!! "You shall have no other Elohims before me. You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I Yahuah your Almighty One am a zealous Almighty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me." (Exodus 20:3-5; Deuteronomy 5:7-9).
In this modern world of technological wonders we live in a virtual reality world created in the Image of Satan. Just as the Messiah revealed to us in Matthew 22:17-21 about the Image of Caesar. Watching T.V. is on a one-on-one, so is watching a computer screen, a video screen, etc. People are dazed and in ignorance bow down to the Image of the Beast without even realizing it. We are so duped and conditioned in using these modern man made image devices that we are totally deceived without being aware of it. 70 Percent of the world's buying and selling is done electronically. In most parts of the world, you can not buy or sell without looking at a sales terminal or computer screen when purchasing or selling. All must bow down to the Beast and Satan to receive goods and services in the Beast System.
There is a company on the internet that is a very good example on the way things are going and how soon the Beast System will have a strangle hold on all of mankind. The government has given one particular private company sole rights to a digitized database that countless number of people in the public must use to do research. However, this particular company has set terms and conditions that makes it impossible to access the data accept by using a credit card or debit card online to pay for access. The rules of use, the terms and conditions of use make the user a slave to the system. The term "bondage" means "to be bound by" for example by the rules, terms, and conditions for use etc. Ever notice the pages and pages of fine print you have to agree to to be able to use software, programs, and databases online? They are binding contracts! You are bound by and enslaved by the terms and conditions to gain access!!!
The New Generation of the New World Order:
Satan is using the young of the New Generation to mold humanity into his New World Order. The whole purpose and goal of blanketing the world with Digital Electronic Devices is to be able to remotely control the masses from one central point. That point is the head of the Beast System namely the 1st and 2nd Beast of Revelation 13 and Satan who is lurking in the shadows. The most vulnerable and most susceptible are the young people of the world, who have been immersed from birth into this Digital Age. The Digital Age is a quiet revolution, an invisible revolution which has taken Mankind by storm. The Digital Age has flooded the mind of Man with countless forms of electronic devices which affect the visual and audio senses, which in turn control the mind.
Electronic Devices on the surface seem to ease the burden of Man but in reality are imprisoning and controlling him. Remember the words of the Messiah in Matthew 7:14 "Enter you in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it."
All the Governments of the world have to bow to the Beast System (a.k.a. the "New World Order") or perish.
The Beast System now exists and is in place. The Beast System touches every aspect of our lives. We are fully integrated into the Beast System World Wide.
We now have in place World Wide:
e-Education (Electronic Education).
e-Economy.
e-Government.
e-Business.
e-Security.
ICT (Information and Communication Technology at Home).
Internet.
International ICT.
A good example of the invasive presence of the New Digital Technology in our lives today is the use of GPS that will be a vital part of the U.S. 2010 Census. GPS (Global Positioning System) will identify the location of every person in the U.S. geographically. There is no place to run and no place to hide. There is no privacy any more. The Beast System wants total control of its subjects.
The only thing that is missing is the implementation of the Mark of the Beast onto the hand or the forehead of all human beings that are not of Yahuah. Satan wants to identify, isolate, separate and destroy true believers that will not worship him.
Satan's Counterfeit versus Yahuah's Original:
In Genesis 1:26,27 it is written, "And Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness... So Elohim created man in his image, in the image of Elohim created he him..." Yahuah will seal his people with the Messiah's Name of Yahuahshua and Yahuahtsadaq as well as with His Holy Spirit.
Satan in turn wants to re-create man in his image. To do this Satan has in these Last Days deceived Man and has created a virtual world. Satan has brain washed Man to come into his virtual world. Satan will seal his people with the Name, Number and Mark of the Beast, and will entice them to worship his Image.
That is why the deception is so strong. We see yet we don't see or understand the final motive or purpose of all these forms of control (eg. T.V., computer, cell phone, RFID, biometric ID, etc.).
We will see and understand Satan's intentions once he has total control but by then it will be too late. Welcome to Satan's virtual world of bondage and slavery. Are you hooked yet?
Do you feel trapped with no way out? You are not alone. Welcome to Satan's Imaginary World of lies and deception.
This Digital Age of technical marvels is woven into every fabric of our modern society in medicine, law enforcement, military, government, business, food and water supply, transportation, communication, social interaction, etc. Into every aspect of our being.
We are led as a bull is led by a ring in its nose. Man craves a life of ease and pleasure and in so doing has accepted total domination by Satan. Man has sold his soul to Satan for the pleasures and ease of Satan's virtual world. The miracles of science and technology have blinded our eyes to what is really going on.
The Messiah's parable of the 10 Virgins in Matthew 25:1-13 has already begun in these Last Days. The oil (Light) in their lamps is the Holy Spirit of Yahuah. With all the evil that is now in the world Satan's desire is to snuff out the Light of Yahuah by quenching the Holy Spirit of Yahuah. The Light is already fading. Because of the evil the hearts of many is growing cold. We have to feed the Holy Spirit of Yahuah by reading and studying Yahuah's Word, by keeping the Laws and Commandments of Yahuah, by witnessing the truth of Yahuah to the world. Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good. In many weak and foolish believers the Holy Spirit is fading and dying out with the cares of this life.
Satan is conquering the world from within, from within the human mind using Digital Technology. The young have grown up Digital. While the older generation is struggling to make sense of what is happening.
Key to understanding the Beast System:
The Messiah gives us the Key to understanding the Beast System in Matthew 22:17-21; Mark 12:14-17; and Luke 20:22-25 where they asked him, "Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?" The Messiah replied, "Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a coin. And he says unto them, Whose is this IMAGEand INSCRIPTION?" "They say unto him, Caesar's. Then says he to them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto Yahuah the things that are Yahuah's." We know that all of creation belongs unto Yahuah. So the metal that the coin is made of is Yahuah's. The only thing that is Caesar's is Caesar'sIMAGE and INSCRIPTION.
This is true today. All of Creation still belongs to Yahuah. So Satan has created a virtual world made up of IMAGES and INSCRIPTIONS. The New World Order, the Beast System, is made up of a Digital Electronic World of IMAGES and INSCRIPTIONS used for socializing, banking, buying and selling, telecommunications, working, and that affects our whole modern way of life in these Last Days. All aspects of our life is controlled electronically. Computers are used to control the delivery of food, water, electricity, fuel, telecommunications, health services, government services, business and financial services, goods that we buy and sell.
Satan is the deceiver and he has deceived the whole world. Satan has deceived the people to buy into an illusion, a virtual world. At one time real gold and silver backed money. Now the electronic monetary system works on credit and debit. A personal bank balance is a number on a computer screen which can be altered or disappear at the touch of a Key on the Keyboard. If you recall the fable of the "Emperor and his New Clothes" in which the Emperor bought into the illusion that he had bought new clothes but in reality was totally naked.
Through the Messiah, Yahuah offers us real hope and security. In Revelation 3:17-18 the Messiah says, "Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eyesalve, that you may see". Again in Revelation 16:15 the Messiah says, "Behold I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."
Virtual Reality in the Beast System:
Our modern societies are built on sand and not on rock, on virtual images and not on reality. The only reason the sub-prime mortgage bubble burst is because the people stopped believing in and started to question the validity of the structure on which it was built, and the foundation was not sound so it collapsed.
We now live in a virtual world with virtual values that can not stand for long. Hard assets are hard to come by as most people have amassed mountains of debt and have become slaves to the system. Most people have bought into the lie of credit and instant pleasure and gratification.
In the past, there was real love, joy, and peace in Family and Community living. People would come together to celebrate life. They would sing and socialize together. Now the love, joy and peace is gone. People now live empty unsatisfied virtual lives dependant on virtual music and virtual entertainment to fill the gap in their empty lives. Kids no longer go out to play with their friends. Family gatherings are rare. Everyone is isolated in their own peer group. The young in school, the adults at work, the elderly in seniors and nursing homes. There used to be strength and purpose in the Family Unit. The elderly would look after the very young, the mature children would look after their parents. Now the children are too busy in their virtual world and ship off the elderly into institutions. The very young are sent to day care, etc.
Give unto the Beast which is the Beast's and unto Yahuah the things that are Yahuah's.
Satan's purpose in having the Beast System:
The only purpose of Satan in forcing the Image, Number, Name and Mark of the Beast onto the people is to have total control and sole worship of the human population of the world. Satan wants to be worshiped as the Almighty and he wants all of mankind to bow down to him and to be his servants (slaves).
Man will not be able to buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast. To buy the essentials of life like food, water, heat, shelter, clothing, etc. people will be forced to take the Mark of the Beast. The only exceptions will be the true believers who will reject Satan and Satan's Mark choosing to die instead. Those that do not take the Mark of the Beast will be killed. The Saints who will be martyred will receive Eternal Life from Yahuah and will live forever in the Kingdom of Yahuah. Those that accept the Mark of the Beast will be cast into the Lake of Fire for all Eternity. When the time comes, each one of us will have to make a life or death decision. Before you is life and death choose you which way you will go. As for me and my house we choose Yahuah, we choose Eternal Life by not taking the Mark, Name, Number, or by worshiping the Image of the Beast.
Living in the Beast System:
We can not buy or sell without some interaction with the modern day Beast System. Many stores even use self-serve electronic cashier machines at the check-out. You can pay using a credit card, debit card, or cash which is all detectable and accepted by the machine. At the bank, whether we or the bank teller takes out the cash for us, it is still processed through the Beast System electronically. The transaction whether deposited, or withdrawn is done through the Beast System. Most utility bills can be paid electronically either through the Bank or even online from a personal computer at home. ATM machines are everywhere. Most stores will accept credit cards or debit cards by the cashier at the check-out.
There is a city in Europe where sensors detect bar coded or embedded magnetic strip items that as the customer walks out of the store the cost of the items are automatically debited off the customer's bank account.
Most people use the Beast System on a daily basis without recognizing or even understanding its existence.
Utility meters monitor our home consumption by automatically recording telephone, gas, hydro, etc. use. The Beast System affects every aspect of our lives. You can buy or sell and do banking using the internet from anywhere in the world. The Beast System touches the lives of every human being on the planet in one way or another. You can not exist without the support of the Beast System in any city in the world. All aspects of resources are controlled and monitored by the Beast System -- water, food, fuel, electricity, social life, etc. The Last Nail in the coffin will be the Mark of the Beast, the final piece of the puzzle for these Last Days before the Messiah returns. Directly or indirectly we are all connected to the Beast System in one way or another.
As believers we can and do use the Beast System. However, the cutoff point for all believers will be when the Mark of the Beast will be made compulsory. At that point we have to refuse to take the Mark of the Beast or be rejected by Yahuah. The Mark of the Beast is the Last and Final Step. Those that accept the Mark of the Beast will be damned for all Eternity. Those that reject the Mark of the Beast will be killed by the Beast System but will obtain Eternal Life in Yahuah's Kingdom through Yahuahshua the Messiah.
The Mark of the Beast will bring closure to the Total Domination of Mankind by Satan.
December 17, 2009 will start the Winter Season of the Great Tribulation:
1) December 17, 2009 is the 1st Day of Winter on the 1st Day of the 10th Month on the regular Calendar Year in 2009.
2) December 17, 2009 is the midpoint of the 3 1/2 Year Great Tribulation.
3) December 17, 2009 is the start of the Last and 4th Season of Winter of 13 Jubilees of Days of the Last 7 Years to the Messiah's return.
4) December 17, 2009 is the 39th Jubilee of Days of the Last 7 Years to the Messiah's return.
5) From December 17, 2009 to the Messiah's return is 13 Jubilees of Days.
Up to December 17, 2009 is all up hill. From December 17, 2009 to the Messiah's return is all down hill. December 17, 2009 is the point of no return.
December 17, 2009 is the start of the fulfilment of the Messiah's prophecy in Matthew 24:20-21, "But pray you that your flight be not in the WINTER, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
Opening of the 4th Seal and the sounding of the 5th & 6th Trumpet:
There are two prophecies in the Book of Revelation that point to nuclear war for our time and that will kill Billions of people. The opening of the 4th Seal in Revelation 6:7-8 will kill 1/4 of the world's population with war, hunger, death, and the beasts of the field. The sounding of the 6th Trumpet in Revelation 9:14-15 will slay 1/3 of Man by war. These two prophecies combined will kill 7/12 or just over 1/2 of the world's 6 Billion people or about 3 Billion of Mankind. In Revelation 9:16 it talks about an army of 200 Million soldiers. Only nuclear war can cause such devastation. China and India combined make up over 1/3 of the world's population so they definitely will be involved. China is backing North Korea and will get involved in Asia. While Indiawill get involved on the Pakistan-India Border.
There are 3 main hotspots in the world today that can trigger a nuclear war and are: 1) Middle East.2) North Korea. 3) Pakistan-India Border.
1) War in the Middle East:We know exactly when and where the war in the Middle East will occur with the sounding of the 6th Trumpet. In Revelation 9:13-21 we know that the 4 angels will be loosed from the Great River Euphrates on the border between Iran and Iraq. We know the time because the 4 angels were loosed and prepared for an hour, a day, a month, and a year. So counting back this time from the Messiah's return on September 15, 2011 we get Sabbath August 14, 2010 on the 29th Day of the 5th Month.
Prelude to the war started by the 6th Trumpet will be the sounding of the 5th Trumpet. In Revelation 9:1-11 with the sounding of the 5th Trumpet those that have not the seal of Yahuah in their foreheads will be tormented for 5 Months. The 5th Trumpet will sound on the Last Day of the Year in the Year 5998 on the Sacred Calendar on the 30th Day of the 12th Month on Tuesday March 16, 2010.
It is not likely that the 4th Seal will occur at the same time or place as the 6th Trumpet. So we can assume the 4th Seal will happen sometime before the 6th Trumpet and not in the Middle East. It is not likely that the big boys like Russia or the United States would even think of starting a nuclear war. It would most likely be one of the smaller nuclear states. So 2) North Korea. and 3) Pakistan-India Border are real possibilities for triggering a nuclear war and the opening of the 4th Seal.
To figure out the timing of the 4th Seal we have to consider the timing of the 5th Seal. The 5th Seal in Revelation 6:9-11 talks about the killing of the Saints. The Saints will have the Seal of Yahuah in their foreheads which ties it in with the timing of the 5th Trumpet. The opposite to the Seal of Yahuah is the Mark of the Beast. So now we can also tie in the 1st Vial with the 5th Seal and the 5th Trumpet. The 1st Vial in Revelation 16:2 talks about a grievous sore upon the men which had the Mark of the Beast and upon them that worshiped his image.
We know the timing of the 5th Trumpet which will sound on the Last Day of the Year in the Year 5998 on the Sacred Calendar on the 30th Day of the 12th Month on Tuesday March 16, 2010. So we can connect the 5th Seal and the 1st Vial to also begin on March 16, 2010. Now we can assume that the 4th Seal has to be open some time between now and March 16, 2010.
December 17, 2009 the 1st Day of the 10th Month, the 1st Day of Winter is a perfect fit for the opening of the 4th Seal and the start of the fulfilment of the Messiah's prophecy in Matthew 24:20-21, "But pray you that your flight be not in the WINTER, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
In Revelation 16:12-16 the 6th Vial is poured out upon the Great River Euphrates and the water was dried up that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. This is in preparation for the battle of the Great Day of Yahuah, at Armageddon(near Mount Carmel, Israel). The 7th Vial is the Messiah's return on September 15, 2011. Armageddon will be the great clash between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness.
Conclusion:
Once all 4 Elements (Image, Mark, Name, and Number of the Beast) are present as a package then the Beast System will be complete. The 4 Elements of the Beast are the Last pieces to complete Satan's Domination of the World.
If the 5th Trumpet, 5th Seal, and the 1st Vial of Revelation are all linked with the presence of the Mark of the Beast, then the Mark of the Beast has to exist on March 16, 2010 with the sounding of the 5th Trumpet.
The reason that we do not see what is happening is because we are in it and are a part of it. If we did not have Yahuah's Word and Yahuah's Holy Spirit to act as a map and to guide us, we would be totally lost and would not know what is going on.
The Creator of Heaven and Earth has been replaced by ego and material things. Yahuah's Holy Spirit of love, joy and peace has been replaced by selfishness and greed.
Dearly beloved in Yahuah, quench not the Spirit of Yahuah that dwells in you. Do not let the deception of Satan which is so strong stifle Yahuah's Holy Spirit that abides in you. Feed Yahuah's Holy Spirit by studying and keeping Yahuah's Holy Word and commandments in your heart. Be ever vigilant in this evil time and be always ready to meet your Master Yahuahshua at his soon return.
Satan is very cunning and has deceived the whole world. Satan has achieved his main objective to get people to worship his image, which is the 1st Step of his world domination plan. Notice how worshiping the Image of the Beast is the breaking of Yahuah's 1st and 2nd Commandment of the 10 Commandments.
Satan wants your soul but he can not force you to accept him. Every person has the free will to choose. Satan uses seduction to entice man into self destructive addictions to enslave him and to separate him from Yahuah.
Satan is strong, but Yahuah is stronger! As it is written, "Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." (1John 4:4). So take comfort in Yahuah, be filled with Yahuah's Holy Spirit, be refreshed reading and feeding on Yahuah's Word. Be comforted in knowing that "The Angel of Yahuah encamps round about them that fear Him, and delivers them." (Psalms 34:7).
We are quickly running out of time. This is a wake-up call to all believers to turn back to Yahuah before it is too late. It is like the parable of the lost sheep: of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32 who wasted his inheritance with riotous living. It is time to repent and to turn back to Yahuah with all our heart. Seek you first the Kingdom of Yahuah and all else shall be added unto you. Repent and be baptized for the Kingdom of Yahuah is at hand. Time to put your house in order!
INDEX OF TOPICS:
124.0) 2300 Day Prophecy of Daniel and the Messiah's 2nd Coming:
Introduction:
Today is July 22, 2009 the 5th Day of the 5th Month.
The 2300 Day Prophecy of Daniel 8:13-14 is connected to the Last Days and the Messiah's 2nd Coming. This is the time of desolation just before the Messiah's 2nd Coming. The Key to understanding this prophecy is not the visible 2300 Days, but rather the 220 Days that are invisible. 2300 Days is just 220 Days short of forming 7 complete Years. 2300 Days + 220 Days = 2520 Days. 2520 Days divided by 360 Days per Year = 7 Years (not counting the Intercalary Days).
The numerical value of the Messiah's future name of Yahuahtsadaq = 220! The 2520 Days = 2300 Days + 220 Days = 7 Years is the Last 7 Years to the end of the 6000 Years from Adam. These Last 7 Years are from Spring 2005 to Spring 2012. The Last 220 Days starts on the 21st Day of the 5th Month on August 5, 2011 just 40 Days before the Messiah's return on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011. The 40 Days before his return represents a time of cleansing. The Last 220 Days = 10 x 22 where 10 = Judgment and 22 = completion. From the Messiah's return to the end of the 6000 Years from Adam = 180 Days = 10 x 18 where 10 = Judgment and 18 = Righteousness. 220 Days = 40 Days + 180 Days. Note: the Messiah's future name of Yahuahtsadaq has a numerical value of 220 and means "Yahuah is Righteous".
40 Days + 10 Days before Pentecost and the Messiah's 2nd Coming:
Counting the 220 Days back from the end of the 6000 Years from Adam we get 40 Days just before the Messiah's 2nd Coming. Then there is still 10 Days from his return on the Feast of Trumpets to the Day of Atonement. 40 Days + 10 Days = 50 Days. The 50th Day, the Jubilee Day would be on the Day of Atonement. The Messiah will Judge the World on the Day of Atonement when he returns.
This pattern is synonymous with the count to Pentecost. From the Sheaf Offering of the Barley to the Messiah's ascension up into Heaven on the 27th Day of the 2nd Month is 40 Days. Then another 10 Days to Pentecost. 40 Days + 10 Days = 50 Days. The 50th Day, the Jubilee Day was on the Day of Pentecost. The 50 Day count to Pentecost was the grain harvest with the 1st 28 Days = Barley Harvest and the Last 22 Days = Wheat Harvest. Pentecost marked the end of Wheat Harvest. The Messiah gave the parable of the Wheat and the Tares where the Wheat Harvest marked the end of the world and his 2nd Coming.
The 70 Week Prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 is 70 Weeks before the Messiah's 2nd Coming and begins on the 27th Day of the 2nd Month. 70 Weeks = 70 x 7 Days = 490 Days. 490 Days = 10 x 49 Days = 10 Jubilees of Days. These Last 10 Jubilees of Days is from the 42nd Jubilee of Days on the 27th Day of the 2nd Month on May 13, 2010 to the Messiah's return on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011. 490 Days to the Messiah's 2nd Coming then + 10 Days to the Day of Atonement. 490 Days + 10 Days = 500 Days = 10 x 50 Days where 10 = Judgment and 50 = a Jubilee. The 500th Day will be on the Day of Atonement when the Messiah will Judge the World. Note: The Jubilee Year (50th Year) was always celebrated on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 25:8-14).
Peter asked the Messiah in Matthew 18:21-22 , "How often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till 7 times?" The Messiah answered, "I say not unto you, Until 7 times: but, Until 70 times 7. 70 x 7 = 490. The 70 Weeksof Daniel is that grace period of 490 Days which will end with the Messiah's return. Once the Messiah returns we will either be with him or against him.
The Abomination of Desolation:
There is a connection between the Desolation and the Abomination of Desolation in:
1) Daniel 8:13-14 "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
2) Daniel 9:24-27 "Seventy Weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression ... "
3) Matthew 24:15,20,21 "When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet (Daniel 9:27). But pray that your flight be not in the winter ... For then shall be great tribulation."
4) Luke 21:20,24 "And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. ... Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."
5) Revelation 11:2 "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."
Overview of the Last Days that we are now in:
As it is written, "Be still and know that I am Yahuah." Take a minute out from your busy schedule, just sit still and take census of the present state of the world. The one thing that stands out in poor and rich countries alike is that there is no peace or joy any more. They say, "Peace, peace" and there is no peace. Fear, insecurity, and uncertainty is global. People are losing their jobs. The economy is in tatters. The powers that be are ever tightening their grip on the people. Our freedoms are gone.
The Beast System is here and Satan is pulling the strings in the background. It is almost as if we are on a merry-go-round that is speeding up. We got on because of the ease, comforts, security, and pleasures that it offered on getting on. But once we got on, it slowly speeded up to a point where we are now too fearful to get off. The only way off is to jump off. To get off will take real courage and sacrifice. Satan wants total control and he will have it once the Mark of the Beast is implemented. It will cost us dear to deny the Mark of the Beast. It will cost us our fleshly life because Satan will kill those believers that refuse to take the Mark of the Beast. On the other hand believers that have the faith and courage not to take the Mark of the Beast will be spared the wrath of Yahuah that will come upon the Beast and those that have his Mark and worship his Image. (see Revelation 9:1-11 -- 5th Trumpet; Revelation 16:1-21 -- 7 Vials).
How do we know that it is the Last Time? It is written, "the hearts of many shall grow cold." Joy shall cease. There is no peace. The difference between Yahuah and Satan is that Yahuah rules with love while Satan rules with fear. Look around -- there is fear on every side. So you know that Satan is now on the Earth and ruling the world temporarily until the Messiah returns.
And do you know how Satan is ruling the world? You guessed it, through technology. For most people going digital was seamless, they didn't even know that there has been a major change from analog to digital. On June 12, 2009 T.V. Broadcasting in the U.S. went Digital. Only 3 to 5 Million people with older T.V. sets would have even noticed the change. We are so immersed into digital technology already that most people won't even realize the change. As it is written, "if it were possible even the very elect would be deceived." Be on the watch for you know not when the Beast System will snare you.
The Beast System is taking the whole world by storm through a silent revolution. Laws are being passed to control the populous. Fear and disease will do the rest. The Swine Flu is now officially a pandemic. The economic crisis still has a death grip on the world. Satan is controlling the world through the Beast System. The creation of plastics and chemicals through petroleum products has made our modern way of life possible and is also the cause of destroying it by polluting our air, water, food and the human body. Make no mistake, there is a very high cost man is paying for the luxury of high living.
Satan is doing his best to control the minds of the people through drugs, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, electronic and high tech devices. Satan is attacking the comfort zone of the believer to discourage and destroy the followers of Yahuah. Satan knows that his time is short. The closer we get to the Messiah's return the more Satan will turn up the heat in anger against the children of Yahuah. Satan comes only to destroy and to kill. Now that Satan has been kicked out of heaven (Revelation 12:7-17) and is now on the earth he will reek havoc on believers for the duration of the 3 1/2 Year Great Tribulation.
But there is good news. The Messiah will restore the world at his 2nd Coming. Yahuah in His great love and mercy has given us a way out of this mess through the hope He gives us by the coming of His beloved Son Yahuahshua.
These things must come to pass. The storm will come first, then the calm after the storm. So be you ready. Trust in Yahuah. Take shelter under His wings for He is more than able to protect and help us through the trials and the tribulations that are now surely upon us.
Every person will have to choose whether to enjoy the protection of the Beast System for a short time during the Winter Season of 13 Jubilees of Days from December 17, 2009 to the Messiah's return on September 15, 2011, or to have the Hope of Eternal Life through Yahuahshua. Either way there will be no sitting on the fence. We will have to be either hot or cold for if we are lukewarm, the Messiah will spit us out of His mouth. Most people will be dumbfounded when they will be forced to make the decision to either accept or reject the Mark of the Beast. The deception will be so strong leading up to the Mark that if it were possible even the very elect would be deceived. To give you a recent example how strong the deception is: On June 12, 2009 the Law was passed that all T.V. Broadcasting had to be in Digital only and Analog signals ceased to exist. The change only affected 3 to 5 Million people in the U.S. who still had old T.V. sets. To the other over 300 Million people the change was seamless and uneventful because they already had new T.V. sets and cable service which are designed for Digital reception and transmission.
Two-Faced Cherubim in Ezekiel represents the Messiah:
In Ezekiel 41:18-26we are shown that the Temple of Solomon had two-faced cherubim and palm trees throughout the temple. The two-faced cherubim represent the Messiah. The face of a man was toward the palm tree was on the one side. Man through Adam's fall lost the hope to access the Tree of Life. The Messiah at his 1st Coming came as a Man making it possible for us through his death and perfect sacrifice to have the right to the Tree of Life (Palm Tree). The face of a young lion toward the palm tree was on the other side. The Messiah at his 2nd Coming will come as the Lion of the Tribe of Yahudah and he will make it possible for us to have the right to the Tree of Life (Palm Tree). In the desert the Palm Tree was a symbol and a source of the Food of Life (dates) and of the Water of Life. The promise of the Messiah's Coming and the right to the Tree of Life was symbolic throughout the Temple of Yahuah and a constant reminder to the children of Israel.
In Roman mythology "Janus" had 2 faces, one looking back to the past and the other looking forward to the future. New Year's Eve is the celebration of Janus on the Roman Calendar marking the end of the old year and the start of the new year. We get the name of "January" the 1st Month on the Roman Calendar from "Janus".
The 2 faced cherubim and the palm trees of the Temple were central to and a very powerful form of symbolism to the people of Israel. Most people were illiterate but most could relate to the visual symbolism of the Messiah's Coming and of the Tree of Life.
The Christian misconception of the term "Anti-Christ":
There are only 4 scriptures in the New Testament with the word "Antichrist" or "Antichrists". These can be found in 1John 2:18,22; 4:3 and 2John 7.
1John 2:18,22 reads, "Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. Who is a liar but he that denies that Yahuahshua is the Messiah? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son."
1John 4:3 reads, "And every spirit that confesses not that Yahuahshua the Messiah is come in the flesh is not of Yahuah: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."
2John 7 reads, "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Yahuahshua the Messiah is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."
So you can see that scripture does not talk of an individual person or being as being the antichrist. The antichrist is anyone or any being that denies and is against the Messiah.
Mark of the Beast just one short step away:
As more and more credit cards and bank cards are now being issued with a microchip we know that the time for the Mark of the Beast is very near indeed. These new chip Credit Cards are readily being accepted worldwide.
There are 3 partsto the function of the chip cards:
1) Credit Card with microchip.
2) Chip enabled terminal to accept the card.
3) PIN Number (Personal Identification Number) used instead of a signature to complete the transaction.
There are 3 parts to the Buying and Selling in the Beast System:
1) Mark of the Beast System.
2) Name of the Beast System.
3) Number of the Beast System.
These chip cards are not the Mark of the Beast yet. The actual Mark of the Beast will be a bar code tatoo or microchip in the right hand or in the forehead.
The introduction of the actual Mark of the Beast is now a reality and could start as early as Spring 2010 or even sooner. The technology is in place. All we need now is for the people to accept the Mark on their body. Fear will drive the people to accept the Mark of the Beast. The powers that be will pressure the people to accept the Mark using the argument that the Mark of the Beast will porvide more security and protection.
The Swine Flu Pandemic to escalate in Winter of 2009:
It is official that the Swine Flu is now a Pandemic. However, it is not as severe yet as most have feared. That could change in a heart beat once the Flu Season beings this Fall in 2009. Most authorities admit that they are not ready or even have the resources to cope with a full blown pandemic. The Financial Crisis and the high unemployment is causing a lot of families around the world to cut back on proper nutritious meals. Most can't afford a healthy diet that would normally keep their body and immune system strong and healthy. The weak and compromised immune system is more prone to disease. The poor are also more at risk as they can not afford medical treatment. People around the world are more vulnerable now than they have been in recent memory.
The Swine Flu could be catastrophic this Winter. Officials around the world are bracing and preparing for the worse. It is common knowledge that the resources will not be adequate to deal with the global health crisis. Swine Flu could have a devastating impact on the Global Economy starting as early as October 2009.
Conclusion:
These Last Days are Days of evil. However, no matter what the situation Yahuah is more than able to guide and protect us as long as we are keeping His commandments and doing His will. Make no mistake about it, the Righteous will have persecution and tribulation. We will suffer for keeping Yahuah's Laws and Commandments and for His Name's sake. The Righteous will be persecuted by friends, family, the people in the world, and by Satan and his fallen angels. But through it all Yahuah will give us the strength and the means to endure whatever suffering that lays ahead.
Our focus has to be Yahuah, His beloved Son Yahuahshua, His Holy Spirit, His Kingdom, His Word, His Love, His Righteousness, His Hope, His Peace. We have to constantly re-focus to make sure that we are steadfast and on target. We are the Sons and Daughters of Light and we have to manifest the fruits of Righteousness.
Even in the den of hell the power and love of Yahuah can shine. Daniel in the den of lions is proof and so is the Messiah, the prophets, the Apostles, and the early believers as examples for us. The Apostle Paul suffered enormously yet he did not lose sight of Yahuah in all his tribulations.
This fleshly body will die even if we live to be 120 Years old. Most people will die some time between birth and 60 Years old. But our spirit will live even after death. Question is where will our spirit end up -- in Heaven or in Hell, with Yahuah in His Kingdom or in the Lake of Fire prepared for Satan and his followers!!
Don't kid yourself it is not all roses and good times for believers all the time. With the blessings and revelations will come trials and tribulations. Even the Messiah suffered and he did not sin. From the time that the Messiah was an infant to the time of his death Satan sought to destroy and to kill him. But the Messiah continued to do his Father's will and to please Yahuah throughout his life even unto death. The Messiah never lost sight of who he was and where he was going -- going back into the Kingdom of Yahuah. Yahuah will help us through all our tribulations as long as we do not lose sight of Him and we continue in His love by keeping His Laws and Commandments.
We cannot oppose or defeat Satan on our own. But we can with Yahuah's help and with Yahuah's Holy Spirit. As it is written in Ephesians 6:10-18 where we read, "Put on the whole armour of Yahuah, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Be filled with the fruit of Yahuah's Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). We are more than conquerors through the Messiah who loves us and gave himself for us (Romans 8:35-39). Do not be overcome of evil but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).
The Messiah said that he will not leave us nor forsake us. He will not leave us orphans. But he will send Yahuah's Holy Spirit to help us and comfort us.
Look up and rejoice for your redemption draws nigh!!
INDEX OF TOPICS:
125.0) The 4th Semester of the Great Tribulation:
Introduction:
Today is August 22, 2009 the 6th Day of the 6th Month.
The Great Tribulation is 3 1/2 Years = 7 x 6 Months = 7 Semesters. Each Semester = 6 Months. From the start of the Great Tribulation in Spring 2008 to Fall 2009 is the 1st 3 Semesters. From Fall 2009 to Spring 2010 is the 4th Semester. From Spring 2010 to Fall 2011 is the Last 3 Semesters. There are two ways to look at these 7 Semesters. Either 3 + 4 = 7 Semesters or 4 + 3 = 7 Semesters and both are viable. The 4th Semester is in the middle of the Great Tribulation.
We can compare these 7 Semesters to the 7 Letters of each of the Messiah's 2 Names. The Messiah's 2 Names breaks down into 4 + 3 = 7 where Yahuah the Father's Name is the 1st 4 Letters and the Last 3 Letters is the Messiah's unique Name of Shua or Tsadaq. Even the 7 Trumpets of Revelation breaks down into 4 + 3 = 7 where the Last 3 Trumpets are the 3 Woes. The Last 3 Trumpetsare the 5th, 6th and 7th Trumpets.
The 4th Semester of 6 Months in the Middle of the Great Tribulation:
The Great Tribulation is 3 1/2 Years from Spring 2008 to Fall 2011. These 3 1/2 Years consists of 7 Semesters of 6 Months each which is 7 x 6 Months = 3 1/2 Years. The 4th Semester of 6 Months is from Fall 2009 to Spring 2010. This 4th 6 Months is the Middle of the Great Tribulation.
The occurrence of the Number 4 in Revelation 7:1-3 is pointing to the 4th Semester of 6 Months in the Middle of the Great Tribulation. Notice how in Revelation 7:1 it talks about the 4 Angels, 4 Corners of the Earth, and the 4 Winds of the Earth! The Feast of Trumpets on September 17, 2009 on the 1st Day of the 7th Month begins the 4th Semester of 6 Months and ends on March 17, 2010 on the Intercalary Day just before the 1st Day of the 1st Month.
The midpoint of this 4th Semester is the Intercalary Day on December 16, 2009. The next Day on December 17, 2009 is the 1st Day of the 10th Month, the 1st Day of Winter on the regular Sacred Calendar Year. December 17, 2009 is also the 1st Day of the 4th Season of Winter in the Last 7 Years to the Messiah's return. December 17, 2009 is again the 39th Jubilee of Days of the Last 7 Years to the Messiah's return. From December 17, 2009 to the Messiah's 2nd Coming on September 15, 2011 on the Feast of Trumpets is 13 Jubilees of Days.
The 4th Semester of the Great Tribulation completes the Number 4 as if it were the 4 Letters of the Father's Name of Yahuah. Then will come the Last 3 Semesters of the Great Tribulation which will complete the Messiah's 2 Names of Shua (Salvation) and Tsadaq (Righteousness) culminating with the Messiah's return on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011.
The 4th Semester is pivotal and will be a time of major change globally.
The opening of the 4th Seal of Revelation 6:7-8 will occur sometime during the 4th Semester of the Great Tribulation as declared by the voice of the 4th Beast.
The 1st 4 Trumpets will have to be open during the 4th Semester. The 7 Vials of Revelation 16:1-21 will be poured out once the Mark of the Beast is issued and the people begin to worship the Image of the Beast.
The Last 3 Semesters will be the last leg of the journey for believers before the Messiah returns. These Last 3 Semesters will be a time of Salvation and Righteousness for Believers, a time of real testing and trials.
Timeline for the Sealing of Believers and the 7 Trumpets of Revelation:
We can figure out the Timeline leading up to the Messiah's 2nd Coming by working backward from his return. The 7th and Last Trumpet of Revelation 11:14-19 is the Messiah's return. But the 7 Trumpets can not begin to sound until the Sealing of the Believers of Revelation 7:1-17 is complete.
1) Based on our understanding of the 6000 Years from Adam, we know that the Messiah will return with the sounding of the 7th Trumpet on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011 on the 1st Day of the 7th Month. We also know that the Messiah will return at the 6th Seal, 7th Trumpet, and the 7th Vial which are all one and the same event.
2) If the Messiah's 2nd Coming is the 7th Trumpet on September 15, 2011 then we can count backward from there to calculate the timing for the 6th Trumpet which will last for 1 Year, 1 Month, 1 Day, and 1 Hour. The 1 Year (12 Months) + 1 Month = 13 Months which brings us to the 1st Day of the 6th Month on August 16, 2010. The 1 Day and 1 Hour we will discuss later.
3) The duration of the 5th Trumpet is 5 Months. So we can count back 5 Months from August 16, 2010 which will bring us to the 1st Day of the 1st Month on March 18, 2010 the 1st Day of the Year on the Sacred Calendar.
4) The 1st 4 Trumpets have to start sometime during the 4th Semester of the Great Tribulation between the Feast of Trumpets on September 17, 2009 to the 1st Day of the Year on March 18, 2010.
5) Before the 7 Trumpets of Revelation can begin however, the Sealing of the Believers of Revelation 7:1-3 has to be complete. From the Feast of Trumpets on September 17, 2009 to the Messiah's return on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011 is exactly 2 Years. 2 Years x 360 Days per Year (not counting the Intercalary Days) = 720 Days = 5 x 144 Days! Notice the perfect 5 x 144 Days! 144,000 will be sealed from the 12 Tribes of Israel plus a great multitude which no man can number of all Nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues (Revelation 7:4-17). So the Sealing of the Righteous Believers will begin on the Feast of Trumpets September 17,2009. The Sealing has to be complete by the Last Great Day on the 22nd Day of the 7th Month on October 8, 2009 which marks the end of the Agricultural Year. Then the 1st Trumpet can begin to sound but when?
6) There seems to be a pattern where the 5th, 6th, and 7th Trumpets all begin to sound on the 1st Day of the Month. We can extend this pattern to the 1st 4 Trumpets. The next and nearest 1st Day of the Month closest to the Last Great Day is the 1st Day of the 8th Month on October 17, 2009. So the 1st Trumpet will sound on October 17, 2009. The 1st Trumpet will sound on the 7th Day of the Week a regular Sabbath Day on October 17, 2009.
The pattern of sounding the Trumpet on the 1st Day of each Month is solid scripture. In Numbers 10:10 we read, "Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your Elohim: I am Yahuah your Elohim." See also Numbers 28:11 "And in the beginnings of your months you shall offer a burnt offering ...". Note: "New Moon" in the Old and New Testament means "New Month" and in that light again the emphasis is on the 1st Day of the Month in countless scriptures such as 1Chronicles 23:31; 2Chronicles 2:4; 2Chronicles 8:13; 2Chronicles 31:3; Ezra 3:5,6; Ezekiel 45:17;46:1-11; Hosea 2:11; Colossians 2:16.
7) We still have to determine the starting point for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Trumpets. But there are 4 possible 1st Day of the Month left in the 4th Semester to choose from for the 3 Trumpets. The 1st Day of the 10th Month on December 17, 2009 will definitely be one of them because of its significance in the Last Days and because it is the 1st Day of Winter. That still leaves the 1st Day of the 9th, 11th, and 12th Months to choose from. We have to pick 2 more with 3 possible combinations: (9th + 11th Month), (9th + 12th Month), or (11th + 12th Month) but which combination?
There is a way to help us to choose. Let us look for perfect numbers in combinations of sequences by adding up the number of the month for each Trumpet. For 5 of the 7 Trumpets we have already determined the appropriate Months. Then we just add the last 2 Months with 3 possible combinations:
1st Trumpet = 1st Day 8th Month.
2nd Trumpet = ? 1st Day 9th or 10th Month.
3rd Trumpet = ? 1st Day 10th or 11th Month.
4th Trumpet = ? 1st Day 11th or 12th Month.
5th Trumpet = 1st Day 1st Month.
6th Trumpet = 1st Day 6thMonth.
7th Trumpet = 1st Day 7th Month.
1st Combo: 8+9+10+11+1+6+7= 52 = 2 x 26.
2nd Combo: 8+9+10+12+1+6+7= 53 = ?
3rd Combo: 8+10+11+12+1+6+7= 55 = 7 + 22 + 26.
The Best Combination is the 3rd one even though the 1st one has the perfect numbers of the Father's Name but none for the Messiah. The 3rd Combo has all the perfect numbers for both Yahuah the Father and the Messiah where 55 = 7 + 22 + 26! Therefore the best possible dates for all 7 Trumpets are as follows:
1st Trumpet = 1st Day 8th Month October 17, 2009.
2nd Trumpet = 1st Day 10th Month December 17, 2009.
3rd Trumpet = 1st Day 11th Month January 16, 2010.
4th Trumpet = 1st Day 12th Month February 15, 2010.
5th Trumpet = 1st Day 1st Month March 18, 2010.
6th Trumpet = 1st Day 6th Month August 16, 2010.
7th Trumpet = 1st Day 7th Month September 15, 2011.
The Last 1 Day and 1 Hour of the 6th Trumpet of Revelation:
In Revelation 9:13-21 when the 6th Trumpet sounds then the 4 Angels will be loosed from the River Euphrates which are prepared for an Hour, and a Day, and a Month, and a Year, for to slay the third part of men. The 5th Trumpet of Revelation 9:1-12 lasts 5 Months and those that have not the seal of Yahuah are tormented. The 5th and 6th Trumpets added together is 5 Months + 1 Year + 1 Month + 1 Day + 1 Hour = 18 Months plus 1 Day + 1 Hour. These 18 Months or 1 1/2 Years is from Spring 2010 to Fall 2011. But what about the 1 Day and 1 Hour? The answer for the 1 Day is in Revelation 18:8 when the plagues come upon Babylon the Great which is fallen, "Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is Yahuah the Almighty who judges her." Then we find the 1 Hour in Revelation 18:10,19 which reads, "Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is your judgment come." This 1 Day and 1 Hour is at the end of the Great Tribulation just immediately before the Messiah returns or when he returns.
The East Gate open on the Sabbath Day and on the 1st Day of the New Month:
The East Gate also known as the Golden Gate on the wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is the Gate that the Messiah will pass through at his 2nd Coming. Today the Golden Gate is sealed and there is a cemetery deliberately put in front of it to prevent the Messiah from entering the Temple Mount at his 2nd Coming. In Old Testament times the East Gate was closed the six working days, but on the Sabbath Day and on 1st Day of the New Month it was open. In Ezekiel 46:1 we read, "Thus says Yahuah; The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened."
The Messiah made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem by way of the Golden Gate at his 1st Coming when he rode on the foal of an ass and entered into the city on the 10th Day of the 1st Month which was a regular Sabbath Day. The Golden Gate will be open again the very Day that the Messiah will return on the 1st Day of the 7th Month on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011 at his 2nd Coming.
The Temple itself faced East and the Temple Doors lined up directly with the East Gate (Golden Gate). The East Gate acted like a sundial to determine the start of the Sacred Calendar Year and the Seasons. The East Gate was also used to herald the Days of the Regular and Feast Day Sabbaths along with the start of each of the 12 Months of the Year. So there were two ways that the people knew when the Sabbaths,Feast Days and the 1st Day of each Month started was by the sounding of the trumpet and by the opening of the East Gate. The people were alerted to the start of each Sabbath and the start of each Month by the blowing of the trumpet on those Days. The people in those Days did not have clocks and calendars as we do today. To calculate time they depended on the Temple Priests to show them.
Both the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement are the only two Feast Days that receive a double emphasis. The Feast of Trumpets is on the 1st Day of the 7th Month and is a Feast Day Sabbath. The Day of Atonement is on a regular Sabbath Day and is also a Feast Day Sabbath. From Numbers 10:10 we know that the trumpet was blown on both the Feast of Trumpets and on the Day of Atonement. We also know from Ezekiel 46:1 that the Golden Gate was open on both of these Days as well. Both these Days point to the Messiah's 2nd Coming. The Messiah will return on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011 and he will Judge the World on the Day of Atonement on September 24, 2011. Note: the Feast of Trumpets is the only Feast Day on the 1st Day of the Month and the Day of Atonement is the only Feast Day on a regular Sabbath Day.
The only 4 Months to have their 1st Day of the Month on a regular Sabbath Day on the Sacred Calendar are the 2nd Month, 5th Month, 8th Month, and the 11th Month. If you add up the number of these Months you get 2 + 5 + 8 + 11 = 26! Note again how perfect Yahuah's Sacred Calendar is!
Global events for Fall 2009:
Swine Flu, high Unemployment, along with the high cost of food and fuel will hit hard this Fall around October 2009 and will severely impact the Global Economy.
One Million people have been affected by the Swine Flu in the U.S.. Authorities are now saying that the Swine Flu will affect over 2 Billion people worldwide in just 2 Years. This is the fastest moving Flu in human history.
We could see mandatory Global mass vaccinations this Fall in 2009 for Swine Flu. This would be unprecedented in history, with those that refuse to be vaccinated being quarantined. Forced vaccinations will be the new norm for the New World Order.
If Health Reform is passed in the U.S. this Fall then all Health Records will be digitized and the whole system will be controlled by computer. Will the Health Reform save money or increase the U.S. debt by Trillions? How will the Health Reform impact the Global Economy?
An active hurricane Season, wild fires, drought, and other natural disasters will add to the misery of many around the world.
The threat of war sparked by North Korea, Iran, Russia (over Georgia), and unrest in the Middle East and Asia will heighten fear and tension worldwide.
Credit and Bank Cards with microchip and PIN Number should be in place this Fall. The Beast System is becoming more powerful and more visible. It is now just one short step from Chip on the Card to a Chip on the Human Body. Pets and Farm animals have had Identification Chip implants for quite some time. The people are so conditioned that most will readily accept a Chip on the hand or forehead without too much trouble.
The people are oblivious to the signs of our time in these Last Days. As it is written in Luke 17:26-37, "And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."
Knowing that the time is at hand, why don't the people prepare for the storm that is now upon us? Why don't the people heed the warnings? The people mock the warnings and they mock their Creator!
More Perfect Numbers:
40 = 18 + 22. 18 is the number of Righteousness and 22 is the number of the Messiah and Completion.
From the 18th Day of the 7th Month in the middle of the Feast of Tabernacles to the 18th Day of the 1st Month (the Sheaf Offering of the Barley) in the middle of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is 180 Days. From the 18th Day of the 1st Month to the 27th Day of the 2nd Month when the Messiah ascended up into Heaven is 40 Days. 180 Days + 40 Days = 220 Days!
The Atomic Age and the 66 Years to the Messiah's 2nd Coming:
Ever since the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Japan in August 1945 Man has had a Damocles Sword hanging over his head not knowing when a nuclear war could erupt. From 1945 to the Messiah's return in Fall 2011 is 66 Years. These 66 Years can be broken down into 3 x 22 Years. From the 1st 22 Years to the Last 22 Years is a sequence of +11 Years with each number breaking down into further perfect numbers. Note how adding up all the numbers gives the perfect number of 220 which is the numerical value of the Messiah's future Name of Yahuahtsadaq which he will use at his return.
22 = 2 x 11 = 22 = 1 x 22 the 1st 22 Years.
33 = 3 x 11 = 7 + 26.
44 = 4 x 11 = 18 + 26 = 2 x 22 the 2nd 22 Years.
55 = 5 x 11 = 7 + 22 + 26.
66 = 6 x 11 = 18 + 22 + 26 = 3 x 22 the 3rd 22 Years.
-----
220 = 22 + 33 + 44 + 55 + 66.
Note the Sunspot Cycle is every 11 Years. Also note the breakdown of each number into perfect numbers where 7 and 22 represents the Messiah; 18 is Righteousness, and 26 represents Yahuah the Father. Notice how the Messiah will return in the 66th Year where 66 = 18 + 22 + 26. In the 66th Year the Messiah will come using his future Name of Yahuahtsadaq which means Yahuah is Righteous or Righteousness of Yahuah which carries the fulness of the Father's Name of Yahuah. The sequence starts with 22 which represents the Messiah and ends with 66 = 18 + 22 + 26 which is Perfection and Righteousness.
1945 + 22 Years = 1967 - Yom Kippur War resulting in access to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the Wailing Wall.
1967 + 22 Years = 1989- Fall of the Iron Curtain and start of the New World Order.
1989 + 22 Years = 2011 - Messiah returns on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011.
The Messiah's 2nd Coming hidden in the Sacred Calendar:
There is a new confirmation within the Sacred Calendar that confirms the 360 Day + 4 Intercalary Day Calendar is the true Sacred Calendar of Yahuah which is perfect. Remember how we showed in previous studies how when the numbers of the 12 Months of the Year added together = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 78 = 3 x 26 where 26 is the numerical value of Yahuah's Name? And if you pair off the 1st and Last number of each of the 12 Months in sequence and add them together you always get the Prime Number 13 of Yahuah's Name. 1 + 12 = 13; 2 + 11 = 13; 3 + 10 = 13; 4 + 9 = 13; 5 + 8 = 13; and 6 + 7 = 13 (Note that the Messiah said he is the 1st and the Last, the beginning and the end). Now there is a new sequence in the Sacred Calendar that points to the Messiah's 2nd Coming!
If you multiply each Month in sequence with the Number of Days per that Month and add up the sum of all 12 Months you get 2340 = 90 x 26!
1st Month x 30 Days = 1 x 30 = 30
2nd Month x 30 Days = 2 x 30 = 60
3rd Month x 30 Days = 3 x 30 = 90
4th Month x 30 Days = 4 x 30 = 120
5th Month x 30 Days = 5 x 30 = 150
6th Month x 30 Days = 6 x 30 = 180
7th Month x 30 Days = 7 x 30 = 210
8th Month x 30 Days = 8 x 30 = 240
9th Month x 30 Days = 9 x 30 = 270
10th Month x 30 Days = 10 x 30 = 300
11th Month x 30 Days = 11 x 30 = 330
12th Month x 30 Days = 12 x 30 = 360
2340 = 30 + 60 + 90 + 120 + 150 + 180 + 210 + 240 + 270 + 300 + 330 + 360.
2340 Days = 90 Days x 26! Where 90 Days = 1 Season and 26 is the numerical number of the Name of Yahuah! 2340 Days = 360 Days per Year (not counting the Intercalary Days) x 6 1/2 Years. 2340 Days = 26 Seasons! 2340 Days = 6 1/2 Years. The Messiah's 2nd Coming is exactly 6 1/2 Years into the Last 7 Years of the 6000 Years from Adam. At the end of the 6000 Years from Adam we have 7 Years but only 6 1/2 Years to the Messiah's return. Once the Messiah retruns on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011 there is still another 6 Months to go to Spring 2012 whcih marks the end of the 6000 Years from Adam.
Opening of the 5th Seal of Revelation and the 4th Beast of Daniel 7:1-28:
The opening of the 5th Seal of Revelation 6:9-11 and the 4th Beast of Daniel 7:1-28 will take place sometime between Spring 2010 and Fall 2011. The 4th Beast of Daniel 7:7 which has the 10 Horns is the 1st Beast of Revelation 13:1 which has the 7 Heads and 10 Horns.
It is quite clear from scripture that Satan and the 1st Beast of Revelation 13:1-18 will make war with the Saints and will prevail against them during the last 1 1/2 Years of the Great Tribulation until the Messiah returns. These Last 1 1/2 Years are the 3 Woes, the 5th, 6th, and 7th Trumpets.
Daniel 7:21 "I beheld, and the same horn made war with the Saints, and prevailed against them."
Revelation 6:9 "And when he had opened the 5th Seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the Word of Yahuah, and for the testimony which they held."
Revelation 12:11,17 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahuah, and have the testimony of Yahuahshua the Messiah."
Revelation 13:7-8 "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
It is true that the Righteous will be overcome and slain. But it is just as true that those that receive the Mark of the Beast and worship his Image will receive the wrath of the 7 Vials of Yahuah and they will not enter into the Kingdom of Yahuah but will be thrown into the Lake of Fire that burns for ever.
Revelation 14:9-13 "If any man worship the Beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Yahuah, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the Beast and his Image, and whosoever receives the Mark of his Name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of Yahuah, and the faith of Yahuahshua. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in Yahuah from henceforth: Yea, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
Revelation 15:1-8;16:1-21 (7 Vials) "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, 7 Angels having the 7 Last Plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of Yahuah." "And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the Beast, and over his Image, and over his Mark, and over the number of his name,stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of Yahuah." The 1st Vial: "And the First went, and poured out his Vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the Mark of the Beast, and upon them which worshipped his Image." etc.
Conclusion:
Man with Satan's influence is destroying this beautiful and unique planet Earth. In Revelation 11:18 Yahuah said that He will destroy those that destroy the Earth: "And the nations were angry, and your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you should give reward unto your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth."
A new phenomenon has Scientists alarmed all over the world. Frogs and in many cases entire species of frogs are going extinct. The frogs are like another canary in the coal mine, a dire warning to the world that the world is severely polluted and contaminated with man's modern chemicals. Man's destructive greed for money and power shows his disregard for the sanctity for life. Satan's time is short and he is willing to destroy everything and anything in his path to achieve world power and domination. Man is paying the price for his arrogance and his disregard for life. Yahuah's wrath will be leashed out upon Man because Man is neglecting his sacred trust to take care of this precious world, the only planet that we know of that sustains life.
Scientists are also gravely concerned about man made climate change and the depletion of fish stocks in the oceans.
This world can no longer support the exponential growth of the human population that is now over 6 1/2 Billion people.
The drinking water supply is also quickly becoming scarce. Drought and water pollution is threatening the water supply of the world. Water shortages are already a real problem worldwide for drinking, growing crops, and supporting all forms of life.
The growing scarcity of food, water, fuel, and other necessities for life should be a wake-up call for all of humanity.
Man's destructive attitude towards the earth is having dire consequences. We are already seeing some of the signs with disease, drought, abnormal severe weather conditions, earthquakes, etc. It is no longer business as usual, Nature is fighting back!!
Man is being deceived through the miracles of technology and modern drugs (legal and illegal). In the New Testament scriptures the word "sorceries" as in Revelation 18:23 which reads, "for your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived" The word "sorceries" is Strong's #5331 the Greek word "pharmakeia" from #5332; medication ("pharmacy"), i.e. (by extension) magic: sorcery, witchcraft.
The whole Earth groans for the Messiah's return when he will restore stability, sanity, and peace to this troubled world. Even so come Yahuahshua, the sooner the better.
A comfort in these troubled times is that the truth is getting out to the people. In 1999 there were only 2 hits when doing a search on the internet for the Father's Name of "Yahuah" while today there are 99,600 hits. In 1999 there were zero hits when doing a search on the internet for theMessiah's Name of "Yahuahshua" while today there are 3,500 hits. It is incredible how in just 10 Years the truth about Yahuah's and Yahuahshua's Name have spread all over the world.
The Day of Judgment is coming for both the good and the bad, and each will receive their just reward. The Time is sooner than you think with just a little over 2 years to go to the Messiah's return.

126.0) Sealing of the 144,000 on the Day of Atonement on September 26, 2009:
Introduction:
Today is September 15, 2009 the 30th Day of the 6th Month.
The 4th Semester of the Great Tribulation which is the 6 Months from the Feast of Trumpets on September 17, 2009 to the 1st Day of the New Year on March 18, 2010 will be decisive. During these 6 Months the Sealing of the Righteous will be complete, the 1st Four Trumpets of Revelation 8:1-13 will sound, and the 4th Seal of Revelation 6:7-8 will be open.
Sealing of the 144,000 Righteous:
From the Feast of Trumpets 2009 to the Feast of Trumpets 2011 is 2 Years = 360 Days x 2 = 720 Days = 5 x 144 Days (not counting the Intercalary Days). Notice the perfect number of 144! From the previous study we determined that the Sealing has to be complete before the 7 Trumpets of Revelation 8:2-13; 9:1-21; 11:14-19 can sound. The 1st Trumpet will sound on October 17, 2009 on the 1st Day of the 8th Month. The Sealing has to be complete during the 2009 Fall Feast Days but when?
Yahuah says in His word that He will not despise those of a humble and contrite spirit (Psalms 34:1-22; 51:17; Isaiah 57:15; 66:2). From Leviticus 23:26-32 we know that there is only one Day in the whole Year that we are commanded to afflict our soul and to humble ourselves before Yahuah. That Day is the Day of Atonement! The Day of Atonement is also the Day of Judgment when Yahuah will sever the Righteous from the Wicked. The Seal of Yahuah will be upon His Sheep when He separates His Sheep from the goats. The Seal of Yahuah will be upon His people. So the Sealing of the 144,000 of the 12 Tribes of Israel plus the great multitude of Righteous will be complete on the Day of Atonement on September 26, 2009. Then the 1st Trumpet can sound on the 1st Day of the 8th Month on October 17, 2009.
There are two ways that the Righteous will be Sealed. The Righteous will be sealed with the Future Name of the Messiah and by Yahuah's Holy Spirit. The Messiah's Future Name is Yahuahtsadaq which means "Yahuah is Righteous" or "Righteousness of Yahuah". The Name Yahuahtsadaq carries the full 4 Letter Name of Yahuah the Father. The Righteous will be sealed with the Messiah's Name of Yahuahtsadaq in their foreheads. See Revelation 7:1-3; 14:1; 22:4. The Righteous will also be sealed with Yahuah's Holy Spirit. See 2Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:13; 4:30.
The Sealing itself is a form of Judgment since only the Righteous will be Sealed. The Kings of Israel had signet rings with their name engraved on the ring. The King used the ring to seal laws, decrees, and property. Yahuah the King of Kings will seal His people with the Future Name of His beloved Son with the Name Yahuahtsadaq which means "Yahuah is Righteous"or "Righteousness of Yahuah".
The Sealing of the Righteous will be complete on the Day of Atonement on September 26, 2009. Then the Harvest Festival of the Feast of Tabernacles will be celebrated for 7 Days. After that the Last Great Day the 22nd Day of the 7th Month will complete the Fall Feast Days terminating the end of the Agricultural Year. We can expect things to happen immediately after the the Last Great Day. The 1st Trumpet will sound 10 Days after the Last Great Day on the 1st Day of the 8th Month on October 17, 2009. The Number 10 = Judgment.
In Revelation 7:1-3 we are told that the 4 Angels will hold back the 4 Winds of the Earth until the Servants of Yahuah are Sealed. Once the Sealing is complete then the 1st Trumpet can sound. Then the 4 Angels will release the 4 Winds. These 4 Winds could unleash Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Cyclones, and Typhoones around the World.
After the Fall Feast Days, the New Agricultural Year will begin. The new crop of wheat and tares will be planted. The Wheat are the Righteous of Yahuah, while the Tares are the Wicked of Satan. Both will grow together until the Harvest when the Messiah returns at his 2nd Coming on September 15, 2011.
More Perfect Numbers that confirm the Sacred Calendar is the True Calendar of Yahuah:
The True Calendar of Yahuah is a 360 Day per Year Calendar with 4 Intercalary Days = 360 Days + 4 intercalary Days = 364 Days. This Calendar conists of 12 Months with 30 Days per Month = 12 Months x 30 Days per Month = 360 Days. There are 4 Seasons per Year where each Season has 3 Months + 1 Intercalary Day = 90 Days + 1 Day = 91 Days. 4 Seasons = 4 x 91 Days = 364 Days = 52 Weeks x 7 Days per Week. Each Season = 91 Days = 13 Weeks.
A) Confirmation that the True Calendar has 30 Day Months:
Each Season has 3 Months, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Month of each Season. If you add the Number of the Month for the 1st Month of each of the 4 Seasons you get:
1 + 4 + 7 + 10 = 22!
If you add the Number of the Month for the 2nd Month of each of the 4 Seasons you get:
2 + 5 + 8 + 11 = 26!
If you add the Number of the Month for the 3rd or Last Month of each of the 4 Seasons you get:
3 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 30!
Notice the perfect number of 22 for the Messiah, 26 for Yahuah the Father, and 30 for the Number of Days per Month! If you add the Number of the Month for all 12 Months you get: 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12 = 78 =22 + 26 + 30 = 78 = 3 x 26! Note that there are 3 in the Family of Heaven that carry the Father's full Name of Yahuah:Yahuah the Father, the Messiah, and the Holy Spirit of Yahuah. So the Numbers 22, 26, and 30 are the seal of the Messiah and of Yahuah the Father that the True Calendar of Yahuah has12 Months of 30 Days per Month.
B) Confirmation that the True Calendar has 91 Days per Season:
The 7 High Sabbaths have hidden truths about the true Calendar of Yahuah. If you take the Number of the Day of each of the 7 High Sabbaths and add them together you get:
15th Day 1st Month = 1st Day Unleavened Bread.
21st Day 1st Month = 7th Day Unleavened Bread.
7th Day 3rd Month = Feast of Weeks (Pentecost).
1st Day 7th Month = Feast of Trumpets.
10th Day 7th Month = Day of Atonement.
15th Day 7th Month = 1st Day Feast of Tabernacles.
22nd Day 7th Month = Last Great Day.
15 + 21 + 7 + 1 + 10 + 15 + 22 = 91!
This confirms that the True Calendar of Yahuah has 91 Days per Season and that the Intercalary Day is at the End of Each Season! 91 Days = 3 x 30 Days per Month + 1 Intercalary Day. There are 4 Seasons per Year = 4 x 91 Days = 364 Days. 364 Days = 12 Months x 30 Days per Month + 4 Intercalary Days. 364 Days = 52 Weeks = 4 x 13 Weeks = 4 x 91 Days.
This sequence of numbers of the 7 High Sabbaths also confirms that we have the Feast of Weeks on the right Day as well. 6 of the 7 High Sabbaths we know exactly on which Day and Month they are on which are given in scripture. However, the Feast of Weeks is the exception which has to be calculated. From the time of the Sheaf Offering which has to be on the 18th Day of the 1st Month 7 Sabbaths shall be complete = 7 Weeks x 7 Days per Week + 1 Day = 49 Days + 1 Day = 50 Days (Leviticus 23:15-16). It is impossible for this sequence to add up to 91 unless the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) is on the 7th Day of the 3rd Month. It will not work if it is on any other Day of the Month! This confirms that the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) is on the 7th Day of the 3rd Month and is calculated correctly by starting the 50 Day count to Pentecost from the 18th Day of the 1st Month! How perfect and how beautiful are the ways of Yahuah!
If you add the sum of the numbers from 1 to 13 you get 91!
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13 = 91! There are exactly 13 Weeks = 91 Days in Each Season!Yahuah's Time and Calendar are perfect and are confirmed to us time and time again!
To further confirm that these are Yahuah's Sabbaths and Calendar we have the Seal of the Number of Yahuah's Name of 26 and the Number22 of theMessiah. If you take the Number of the Day of each of the 4 High Sabbaths in the 7th Month you get:
1 + 10 + 15 = 26 for the 1st 3 High Sabbaths in the 7th Month. Then the Fall Feast Days and the Agricultural Year ends with 4th High Sabbath of the 7th Month which is the Last or 7th High Sabbath of the Year with the Last Great Day = 22! The Messiah said that he is the 1st and the Last, the Beginning and the Ending! (see Revelation 1:8,10-11).
Perfect Numbers in the Sacred Calendar leading up to the Sounding of the 1st Trumpet:
There is a recurring pattern of the Numbers 22 and 10 around the Fall Feast Days that lead up to the Sounding of the 1st Trumpet on the 1st Day of the 8th Month on October 17, 2009.
From the 22nd Day of the 6th Month to the Feast of Trumpets on September 17, 2009 = 10 Days (counting the Intercalary Day).
From the Feast of Trumpets to the Last Great Day = 22 Days. So from the 22nd Day of the 6th Month to the Last Great Day = 10 Days + 22 Days.
From the Feast of Trumpets on the 1st Day of the 7th Month to the Day of Atonement on the 10th Day of the 7th Month = 10 Days.
From the Day of Atonement on the 10th Day of the 7th Month to the sounding of the 1st Trumpet on the 1st Day of the 8th Month on October 17, 2009 = 22 Days. The 22 Day count from the Day of Atonement to the 1st Trumpet indicates completion, the end of the Sealing of the Righteous so the 7 Trumpets can begin to sound. The Number 22 always represents the Messiah.
From the Last Great Day on the 22nd Day of the 7th Month to the sounding of the 1st Trumpet on the 1st Day of the 8th Month = 10 Days. The 10 Day count from the Last Great Day to the 1st Trumpet indicates the beginning of Judgment.
The 1st Trumpet is connected to the Fall Feast Days and the Sealing of the Righteous. The 7 Trumpets of Revelation can not begin until the Sealing is complete. The next 3 Trumpets namely the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Trumpets will sound beginning with the 1st Day of Winter on December 17, 2009 and are connected to the Winter Season. The 2nd Trumpet will sound on the 1st Day of the 10th Month the 1st Day of Winter on December 17, 2009. The 3rd Trumpet will sound on the 1st Day of the 11th Month on January 16, 2010. The 4th Trumpet will sound on the 1st Day of the 12th Month on February 15, 2010. The 9th Month belongs to the Fall Season and acts like a spacer between the 1st and 2nd Trumpets.
Current Events:
There is now an epidemic of Bed Bugs in major cities in North America, Europe, Australia and in other parts of the World that began in 2007. This sudden spread of these pests is due to restrictions in the use of strong insecticides and increased global travel. Experts say Bed Bugs have been virtually dormant since World War 2. There has been a sharp rise of Bed Bug infestation since Summer of 2007.
In Matthew 24:20 we are told, "pray that your flight be not in the Winter, neither on the Sabbath Day." Could this be on January 16, 2010 which is on the 1st Day of the 11th Month this Winter which is also on a regular Sabbath Day? There is only one of the 3 Months of Winter that starts on the Sabbath Day and that is the 1st Day of the 11th Month. Also the 1st Day of the 11th Month will sound the 3rd Trumpet.
Conclusion:
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 "To every thing there is a Season, and a Time to every purpose under the Heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."
INDEX OF TOPICS:
127.0) December 17, 2009 marked the midpoint of the Great Tribulation:
Introduction:
Today is January 1, 2010 the 16th Day of the 10th Month. Yesterday December 31, 2009 the 15th Day of the 10th Month was the Day of a Blue Moon. A Blue Moon happens every 2.5 Years. A Blue Moon can happen anytime during the year and it is rare that it would land exactly on New Year's Eve. The Blue Moon on New Years Eve happens only once every 19 years. The next one will be in 2028. The Last one was on New Year's Eve in December 1990. 1990 was the Last Jubilee Year of the 6000 years from Adam. 1990 was also the 1st Year of the Last 22 Years at the end of the 6000 years from Adam. New Years Eve December 31, 2009 is the 1st Full Moon of the Winter Season, Day of a Blue Moon, and the Day of a partial Lunar Eclipse. The fact that the Blue Moon happened on New Year's Eve is ominous and is a portent for the New Year of 2010.
December 17, 2009 the 1st Day of the 10th Month marked the midpoint of the Great Tribulation and the point of no return. December 17, 2009 was the 39th Jubilee of Days. December 17, 2009 was the 1st Day of Winter on the regular calendar year as well as the 1st Day of the Winter Season of the Last 7 Years to the Messiah's 2nd Coming. This Winter Season before the Messiah's return is 13 Jubilees of Days long.
The Messiah prophesied of this Winter Season during the Great Tribulation in Matthew 24:20-21 where we read, "But pray you that your flight be not in the Winter, neither on the Sabbath Day: For then shall be Great Tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
Satan's strategy to control the World:
Have you ever seen a bull fight? The Matador does not attack the bull head-on. The bull is too strong and powerful. Instead the Matador wears down the bull gradually. At first the Matador thrusts a series of sharp pointed sticks into the bull's muscles with each charge the bull makes. This weakens and wears down the bull. When the bull is weak enough then the Matador uses a sharp sword to finish it off. This is exactly the same tactic that Satan is using against Man.
Satan is wearing down Man by first separating him from his Creator. Then through addiction and modern High Tech Satan separates Man from his Family and close friends. When Satan has totally weakened and isolated Man then he moves in for the kill.
This process that Satan is using is now in the end stage.
This is also happening on a National level. The countries of the World are so integrated together into a global network that it is now impossible to survive without being a member of the New World Order. Once the New World Order is complete no government or country will be able to confront it or to get away from it.
Satan's noose is ever tightening as he establishes the Beast System:
On December 25, 2009 on Christmas Day a young radical terrorist detonated a bomb just before landing in Detroit, U.S.A.. The plane carried nearly 300 people and fortunately the bomb failed to destroy the plane.
Due to this one incident, new security procedures and restrictions are now in place. A new screening device is being installed worldwide which can see through clothing and expose the nakedness of the person being screened. This is clearly against the laws and commandments of Yahuah. In Leviticus 18:1-30 Yahuah commands us not to uncover the nakedness of others. When we willingly submit to this type of screening we break Yahuah's laws and commandments and Satan knows this only too well. Satan wants to destroy man and will do anything in his power to get man to separate himself from Yahuah. Sin is the transgression of the Law and our sins are what separate us from Yahuah. In Revelation 12:17 we read, "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahuah, and have the testimony of Yahuahshua the Messiah." The 1st Beast will also make war with the saints as we read in Revelation 13:7-8 "And it was given unto him (the 1st Beast) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
After 911 national security was introduced big time all over the world. Then with each terrorist attack the noose tightened. After the shoebomb terrorist all shoes were checked. After the carry-on liquid bomber all carry-on liquids were banned. Now with this recent underwear bomber see through clothing screening with full-body scanners are being introduced that will show the person naked. Pat down procedures are also in place to further demoralize and degrade the air traveller.
Are you beginning to see Satan's end game here? This naked screening will be extended to sea and land. Tracking of individuals is also taking place with gps (global positioning systems) being installed in cars, cell phones, etc. Micro chips are already standard in pets and livestock. But once screening becomes too expensive, and terrorist attacks become more daring and frequent then you can count on RFID (Radio Frequency Indentification) chips being implanted into every person on earth. These RFID chips are detectable within 100 Feet of a chip reader. RFID are already being used on medical patients and are being proposed on people with dementia and alzhiemers. The chiping of the rest of the populous will follow soon after. The end game is forcing people to take the Mark of the Beast in the form of an RFID chip. The people will not be able to buy or sell without this Mark. Indications are that the movements and rights of all citizens will be severely restricted or nonexistent unless they take the Mark of the Beast and worship the Image of the Beast.
Image of the Beast here now?:
Every Digital electronic device with moving images could be used to project the Image of the Beast. Amazing how deceived we are without even knowing it!
The Image of the Beast is very near. The recent introduction of 3D Cameras, 3D T.V. and Holograms courtesy of High Tech is making the Image of the Beast even more powerful (Revelation 13:1-18).
We are now down to the 10 Toes of Daniel 2:1-49. We are now in the Digital Age. By definition the word "Digit" from the dictionary means: Noun - 1) a finger or toe. 2) any one of the Ten Arabic numeral symbols, 0 to 9. By definition the word "Digital" means: Adjective - 1)relating to fingers or toes. 2) relating to numbers or calculation by numbers. 3) providing a readout or display in numbers; eg. a digital watch.
The heart of a computer, the computer semi-conductor processing chip is made with iron and clay. We are at the 10 Toes or 10 Digits of the IMAGE of Daniel 2:1-49 which is made partly with iron and partly with clay, partly strong and partly weak. Everything is run by computers in these Last Days. The computer is a very powerful tool and yet is also very vulnerable. The greatest threat to computers is an EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) attack. An atomic blast causing an EMP a few miles up over a country can totally neutralize and paralyze an entire Nation's computer systems!
In Daniel 3:1-30 Nebuchadnezzar set up an image of gold which was 60 cubits high and 6 cubits wide. Notice how 60 + 6 = 66. The 1st Atomic Bomb was detonated in 1945. From 1945 to 2011 = 66 Years.
On June 12, 2009 Analog Signals in the U.S. ceased for T.V. Broadcasting. Now all Broadcasting is Digital!
Moving images on T.V., Movie Theaters, Video Games, Computers, Cell Phones, etc. are addictive and are the opiate of the masses.
Satan knows that his time is short so he is using High Tech to speed things up to control the world. Satan caused the fall of Adam almost 6000 Years ago by seducing him to break Yahuah's laws. Now at the end of this 6000 Years here he goes again to trip up all of mankind by breaking the Laws of Yahuah.
The worship of the Image of the Beast and taking the Mark of the Beast breaks the 2nd of the 10 Commandments of Yahuah. In Exodus 20:4-5 and Deuteronomy 5:8-9 we read, "You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them."
By worshiping the Image of the Beast and taking his Mark, Man is also breaking the 1st of the 10 Commandments of Yahuah. In Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 5:7 we read, "You shall have no other mighty ones before me." It is Satan that gives his power to the 1st Beast. So in essence it is Satan that Man worships. Man is the servant to whomsoever he obeys. And Satan has the whole world by the tail with his deception.
Moses said it very well in Deuteronomy 30:15-20 when he said, "See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command you this day to love Yahuah your Almighty, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that you may live and multiply: and Yahuah your Almighty shall bless you in the land where you go to possess it. But if your heart turn away, so that you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other mighty ones, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that you shall surely perish, and that you shall not prolong your days upon the land, where you pass over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live: That you may love Yahuah your Almighty, and that you may obey his voice, and that you may cleave unto him: for he is your life, and the length of your days."
Countering Satan's attacks:
Satan has hoodwinked us into believing that we can achieve joy and fulfilment in our lives by the accumulation of materialistic things. By doing so we have completely abandoned the wholesome and true joys in life, namely the spiritual fulfilment that we really need. When our spiritual needs are not met, we get frustrated, resentful, and depressed. Not being able to satisfy our spiritual hunger which we would get through the love of Family and friends and the true worship of Yahuah our Creator we turn to empty addictions to satisfy our hunger and cravings.
We need to get back to the basics of true living. We need to have balance in our lives. A start would be to get back to eating fresh fruits, vegetables, and wholesome foods. Then get back to daily excercise, get plenty of sleep, and surround ourselves with Family and good friends. Stay away from worldly addictions. Get back to the true worship of Yahuah by reading His Word daily, being filled with Yahuah's Holy Spirit, and by fellowshiping with believers.
Satan's deception is so strong that if the Messiah didn't overcome it would seem impossible. Yet the Messiah said it so simply when in John 16:33 he said, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have over the world."
An Evil and an Adulterous Generation seeks after a Sign:
People are looking for asign that we are in the Last Days, and that we are in the Great Tribulation. People are expecting some great catastrophes before they will believe or turn to Yahuah. People are disappointed. Yet major things are happening just the same. We have the economic crisis, food crisis, climate change crisis, etc. yet the people still cannot see or accept the truth.
In this 4th Semester of the Great Tribulation we are in the eye of the storm!! No wonder we are not feeling the full brunt of the Great Tribulation. However, we will not be disappointed for too long. Starting in the 5th Semester of the Great Tribulation in Spring 2010 the impact will be much stronger. We will experience the further weakening of the U.S. Dollar if not a collapse of it, more job losses, higher prices for food, utilities, taxes, etc., global threat of war, droughts, floods, and other natural disasters, etc. The Last and 7th Semester of the Great Tribulation in the 1st Half of 2011 will be the worst.
Regional Currencies and a New World Order Currency coming in 2010?:
Oil rich countries are losing enormous amounts of money due to a weak U.S. Dollar. These countries are poised to de-link from the U.S. currency and have banded together to create their own unique Petro-Currency dubbed the "Gulfo". Other new regional currencies are ready in the wings and will be patterned on the existing well known European Currency the "Euro". In North America: Canada, the United States and Mexico will come together to form the "Amero". The "Amero" already exists and can be viewed online. We know that there will be 10 Kings (the 10 Horns of Revelation 17:12) which will represent 10 Regions around the world. These 10 Kings will give their power unto the Beast (Revelation 17:16-17). From Revelation 12:3 and 13:1-2 we know that it is Satan that has the 7 Heads and 10 Horns which he gives unto the Beast in the Last Days.
The 10 Regional Currencies will pave the way for the ultimate One World Currency in all likely hood to be called the "UNO". In Latin the word "uno" means "one" as in one global currency. Also "UNO" could be the acronym for "United Nations Organization" which represents all the Nations of the World.
In 2010 Regional Currencies will pop-up like mushrooms as countries around the world begin to de-link from the U.S. Dollar.
Satan's lure into the easy life of the City:
Satan controls the world through fear, pleasure, and greed. Satan has lured Man into the Cities with the promise of an easy life. Satan first takes away our independence and makes us dependent on him. Once he has achieved that then he starts to really turn on the thumb screws and to turn us every which way he wants at his whim just as a horse is turned by a slight pull on the reins. Yahuah commanded Man to work by the sweat of his brows. Man was strong, had purpose, and was happy working on the land. The whole Family unit worked together. Satan has destroyed the Family unit by coaxing Man to leave the satisfying labour of growing his own food to moving into the easy life of the city.
The City offers an easier life with many conveniences and luxuries. Man has been deceived. Satan has led Man away from the Family farm and into the City. The easy life in the City comes at a very high price: loss of freedom, loss of happiness, loss of Family love and joy, loss of neighbourly respect and kindness. The City imposes chains in the form of laws, control, and is a form of slavery.
Man doesn't even know what hit him! After just one or two generations Man has been conditioned to accept life in the City. He doesn't know why he is so unhappy. He doesn't understand that he has been conned out of his happiness with the promise of easy living.
If you take a baby elephant while he is weak and vulnerable and tie him to a stake he is so conditioned that once he is mature and strong he no longer has the will left to fight the stake that controls him. Make no mistake about it Satan controls this world. Satan has enticed about 90 percent of the world's population into the cities to control Man. This only happened in the last mere 100 Years!! At the turn of the century in 1900 you would be amazed to know that in downtown New York City the apartment buildings still had rows of outhouses outside for people to do their business.
In the City you cannot get away from the High Tech which is so dominant and powerful. Satan has had thousands of years to hone his skills to dominate Man and he has put it all together in a tsunami tidal wave to overwhelm Man in these Last Days. Satan manipulates and controls at every turn. Satan always counterfeits Yahuah's Holy things. Yahuah says in His Word, "Not by power nor by might but by my Spirit says Yahuah." Satan too uses the spirit, but an evil spirit of deception.
Just to give you an idea how powerful and yet how deceptive the technology is just take the common T.V. set. You can have a group of people in the same room but if a T.V. is present, the people become zombie-like individually glued to the T.V. screen. It is a form of hypnotism. A form of control and domination that defies common reason. It is the combination of sound and vision together that stupefies the victim. Just as an animal in the dead of night is stunned by car headlights and is frozen in its tracks. So the dumb T.V. viewer is dazed by the sound and visual combo affect of T.V. Here is a simple test you can do in your own home. While watching T.V. just turn off the sound and make the T.V. mute. All of a sudden the desire and pleasure of watching T.V. vanishes!! You get the same affect if you have just sound but no picture. T.V. stimulates 2 of our senses, namely hearing and seeing. It is a form of pleasure. A snake charmer does the same thing to control a venomous snake.
These days are truly evil. Satan's goal is to kill, to destroy, and to do evil continually. Satan is dominating the world through addictions and technology. The common Man alone doesn't stand a chance against Satan. Only by Yahuah's help can we defeat Satan. It is through the Messiah and by Yahuah's Holy Spirit that we can even hope to overcome this evil world.
The Farm life was reliant on Yahuah for providence of food and shelter. Yahuah provided the rain and good weather for bountiful crops, a cause of great joy. Yahuah's Harvest Festivals have been replaced with pagan customs. Is it not a wonder that the peace, joy and bounty is no longer with us? We have turned our backs on Yahuah and now He in turn has deserted us. Man is now reaping his just reward by following Satan and by adapting Satan's way of life.
Countries of the World are preparing for something:
In 2009 the U.S. ordered its Embassies around the world to buy up $100's of Millions of local currencies to tide them over. India purchased 200 Tons of Gold worth over $6.7 Billion. China is using up its massive $2 Trillion U.S. by buying up raw materials around the world in Australia, Africa, Canada, etc. Russia is buying up Canadian $ to diversify its reserves which now consist of 43 percent U.S. $, 41 percent Euros, 10 percent British Pounds, and 2 percent Yen. In 2009 Gold went over $1200 U.S. per ounce and is still hovering around $1100 U.S.. Analysts are predicting Gold to go up to between $1500 to $2000 U.S. per ounce in 2010 as the U.S. $ continues to weaken. It is very clear that all Nations are concerned and are looking for a safe haven for their reserves.
When the U.S. Health Care Reform passes sometime in January 2010 it will add $2.5 Trillion to the U.S. debt. This will further weaken the U.S. economy by adding to its debt load. Interestingly enough on November 7, 2009 the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Health Care Reform Bill by exactly 220 votes. Note: The numerical value of the Messiah's future name of Yahuahtsadaq = 220 exactly!
More Perfect Numbers:
The Number 40 is connected to a time of cleansing but it also breaks down into other perfect numbers. Examples of the number 40 in scripture are the Flood rains of Noah was for 40 Days and 40 Nights; Moses was on Mount Sinai for 40 Days before receiving the 10 Commandments; Israel was in the Wilderness for 40 Years; the Messiah fasted for 40 Days before Satan tested him. The number 40 breaks down into 18 + 22 = 40. 18 = Righteousness. 22 = represents the Messiah. 40 = time of cleansing.
The Number 44 has an interesting combination. 44 = 18 + 26 = 2 x 22. 18 = Righteousness. 26 = represents Yahuah the Father. 22 = represents the Messiah. If you add the number of the Day of all the High Sabbathsfrom the beginning of the Year to the Feast of Trumpets you get 15 + 21 + 7 + 1 = 44. The Spring Feast Days reflect the Messiah's 1st Coming and the Feast of Trumpets reflects the return of the Messiah at his 2nd Coming. 44 = 22 + 22. The number 22 represents the Messiah. The 1st 22 = his 1st Coming while the 2nd 22 = his 2nd Coming. The double 22 confirms his 2nd Coming on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011. Then if you add the number of the Day for the first 3 High Sabbaths of the Fall Feast Days together you get 1 + 10 + 15 = 26. At his 1st Coming the Messiah did not carry the full 4 Letter Name of Yahuah while he was still in the flesh. It was only once he rose from the dead that he was able to use his Father's full 4 Letter Name of Yahuah = 26. The sum of 26 on the 15th Day of the 7th Month starts the 7 Day Feast of Tabernacles the Marriage Feast of the Lamb. Then the Last Day of the Fall Feast Days concludes with a perfect 22 for completion on the Last Great Day on the 22nd Day of the 7th Month.
The Number 66 is especially relevant for the Last Days. There are 66 Books in the King James Bible consisting of 39 Books in the Old Testament and 27 Books in the New Testament. The Last Book of the Bible is the Book of Revelation with exactly 22 Chapters! The Book of Isaiah has 66 Chapters. The name Isaiah is YeshaYahu (Salvation of Yahu) which is the Messiah's present name of Yahuahshua (Yahuah is Salvation) backwards less one Hebrew Letter. The Great Isaiah Scroll is the only complete Book of the Bible found at Qumran (Dead Sea Scrolls). Another Book of the Bible for the Last Days is Lamentations. Lamentations is acrostic and has 7 x 22 verses. Chapter 3 has 66 verses. The Last Days are from 1945 to 2011 = 66 Years. 1945 = Atomic Bomb used on Japan; and United Nations formed. 2011 = Messiah returns on September 15, 2011. 66 = 18 + 22 + 26! 66 = 3 x 22! 18 = Righteousness. 22 = represents the Messiah. 26 = represents Yahuah the Father.
If you add the numbers between 22 and 26 you get 22 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 = 120! Man's life span was limited to 120 Years in Genesis 6:3. Moses lived to be 120 Years old = 3 x 40 Years.
If you add the numbers between 7 and 13 you get 7 + 8 + 9 +10 + 11 + 12 + 13 = 70! As punishment for their evil, Israel was in captivity in Babylon for 70 Years (Jeremiah 25:11-12). There is a prophecy of 70 Weeks for these Last Days in Daniel 9:24-27 which is tied in with Matthew 24:15-22 and the Great Tribulation.
If you add the numbers between 7 and 26 you get 330 = 15 x 22. Between 7 and 26 you get the number 22 fifteen times! Where 7 and 22 = the Messiah and 26 = Yahuah the Father.
Another facet of perfect numbers in the Sacred Calendar:
Every 4 Months = 4 x 30 Days = 120 Days.
Each Month has a 7th, 22nd, and 26th Day which when added together = 7 + 22 + 26 = 55.
4 Months of 55 per Month = 4 x 55 = 220.
4 Months x 30 Days per Month = 4 x 30 Days = 120 Days.
12 Months of 55 per Month = 12 x 55 = 660 = 3 x 220.
12 Months x 30 Days per Month = 12 x 30 Days = 360 Days = 3 x 120 Days.
In the 12 Months of the Year, Days of the Month with:
26th Day = 12 Months x 26th Day of the Month = 312.
7th Day = 12 Months x 7th Day of the Month = 84.
22nd Day = 12 Months x 22nd Day of the Month = 264.
312 + 84 + 264 = 660 = 3 x 220 = 30 x 22.
660 Days = 30 Days x 22 Months.
220 is the numerical value of the Messiah's future name of Yahuahtsadaq.
The 4th Semester of the Great Tribulation from Sept. 17, 2009 to March 17, 2010 and the opening of the 4th Seal of Revelation 6:7-8:
More and more people in the rich Nations are drawing on Food Banks because of ever increasing unemployment and the high cost of food and other essentials. In the poorer Nations the high cost of Food is causing malnutrition and more loss of life.
The 3rd Seal of Revelation is open without a question. But when will the 4th Seal be open? It will be open before Spring 2010!! Nations are shuffling for positions of power. A good example is the closer ties between China and the U.S.. China is now an upcoming new super power to contend with. China is getting rid of its huge Trillions of $ of surplus by buying up raw materials and fuels like oil.
The EU Treaty has finally been signed by all 27 members and has opened the door to elect the First EU President. This is a major development. On November 19, 2009 the New and First President of the EU was chosen: Herman Van Rompuy, Prime Minister of Belgium. The EU is now a united entity. The EU now has a central head of government represented by one person.
November 9, 2009 was the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Heads of State for Germany, Russia, Poland, U.S., France, Britain were all present. This was another indication and stepping stone for the further completion of the New World Order.
There is an environmental crisis around the world which will only get worse in 2010. There is drought in China and India. Bush fires in Australia. Drought in the horn of Africa is affecting 7 Countries: the worst hit is Ethiopia affecting 10's of Millions of people. There were 3 typhoons in the Philippines with a volcano ready to erupt at any time. There was an earthquake in Indonesia, and a tsunami in Samoa.
Nature is turning on Man. In the southern U.S. States weeds are resistant to herbicides, destroying crops and machinery which could cause Man to reap crops by hand. In India Millions are affected by floods where just months before they had drought. Infestation by bed bugs is making a big comeback in major cities in Western Nations.
Wars are intensifying in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Civil unrest in Iran could cause a Civil War. Iran is still a threat with developing nuclear weapons. The Euphrates River between Iraq and Iran which is in prophecy will soon hear the sound of the 6th Trumpet of Revelation 9:13-21 on August 16, 2010 on the 1st Day of the 6th Month.
In Matthew 24:1-22 the Messiah prophesied of the opening of the 4th and 5th Seal of Revelation 6:7-11. The 4th Seal will be open sometime between now and Spring 2010.
Believers are already experiencing tribulations in their life. Forced vaccinations and forced acceptance of the Mark of the Beast will confirm when the 5th Seal will be open.
Conclusion:
We are now on the eve of the unveiling of the Beast System. How fitting that a Blue Moon on December 31, 2009 has ushered in the eventful New Year of 2010! The Year 2010 promises to be a special year with the birth of the Beast System.
The Beast System is a closed society where the freedoms and rights of the individual will be tightly controlled and will be almost non-existent.
Satan's master plan is to demoralize all Nations by corrupting the world and by breaking the Laws and Commandments of Yahuah. Modern Man is plagued with addictions caused by Modern Technology, Drugs (legal and illegal), and a virtual way of life. Addictions are destroying the human body which is supposed to be the Temple of Yahuah's Holy Spirit. Addictions have replaced the core values of a wholesome and happy Family life style. It will be easy to coerce Man to worship the Image of the Beast with T.V., computer screens, cell phones, video games, etc.
The Peace and Joy that this world once enjoyed is gone and has been replaced with fear and uncertainty. People no longer enjoy living their lives with hope for a brighter future. People now just exist trying to keep their heads above water and due to terrorism and other global problems wait with anxiety for the other shoe to drop. The High Tech ID and tracking systems around the world have stolen our privacy and freedom. The people will bow to the Beast System all in the name of security and for fear of terrorist attacks against their Nations.
We have to get back to the basics of Yahuah's Word and promises for Yahuah's protection and help. We have to draw closer to Yahuah and He will draw closer to us.
Ephesians 6:10-17 "Put on the whole armour of Yahuah, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
1John 4:4 "You are of Yahuah little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
Zechariah 4:6 "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says Yahuah of armies."
2Timothy 1:7 "For Yahuah has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
Romans 8:35-39 "Who shall separate us from the love of the Messiah? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of Yahuah, which is in the Messiah Yahuahshua our Master."
We have so much more knowledge and understanding of Yahuah and of His Holy Things today than even the Prophets of old had. Yet we still can not get our act together to worship Yahuah in Spirit and in truth. The influence of Satan and the world is wearing down even the Saints of Yahuah. The sooner you come Yahuahshua the better. We are in the Great Tribulation and the deception is so strong that if it were possible even the very elect would be deceived.
Satan's purpose is to destroy and to steal. Satan wants to prevent as many from entering into the Kingdom of Yahuah as he can. All the more reason that we have to fight and resist the devil that he will flee from us. Learn to do good and avoid the evil. Do not be overcome of evil but overcome evil with good.
Thank you Father Yahuah for the joy of your Word, your Promises, and your Holy Spirit. Thank you for the strength to live and to keep going. We long for your beloved Son Yahuahshua's return and your reign on this Earth.
The time when we will be able to live in peace with joy again will be when the Messiah returns at his 2nd Coming.
INDEX OF TOPICS:
128.0) End of Wheat Harvest and the Coming of the Messiah in the Last Days:
Introduction:
Today is July 26, 2010 the 10th Day of the 5th Month. How do we know that we are now in the Great Tribulation? We know because of the EVIL and because of Satan's use of TECHNOLOGY to control, track, and enslave the whole Human Race! Satan and his fallen Angels have been kicked out of Heaven and are now on the Earth. Satan knows that his time is short and is making war with the Believers who keep the commandments of Yahuah and have the testimony of Yahuahshua the Messiah. Look over the fields of the World for the Wheat and the Tares are ripe for Yahuah's Harvest just before the Messiah's return.
Numbering the People using the 2010/2011 Census and the Opening of the 4th Seal:
In 2Samuel 24:1-25 Satan moved King David to NUMBER the People. This angered Yahuah and David was asked to choose between 3 plagues that would come upon Israel. The three plagues were:
1) 7 Years of Famine.
2) 3 Months War - fleeing from the enemy.
3) 3 Days Pestilence.
The 3rd Seal of Revelation 6:5-6 was open in the Fall of 2007 with the sharp rise of the cost of food worldwide.
The 4th Seal of Revelation 6:7-8 will be open in 2010 and 2011. The 2010 Census (Numbering) of the people is already taking place in the U.S.A. In 2011 there will be a Census in the British Commonwealth of Nations such as the United Kingdom, India, Canada, Australia, etc. There are 54 Member States in the British Commonwealth with a combined population of about 1.4 Billion people. The British Monarch serves as the symbolic head of the British Commonwealth. The British Commonwealth is a powerful global block.
India is already working on its 2011 National Census for its over 1 Billion population taking pictures and fingerprinting each person for National Identity. The picture is probably digital for face recognition and the fingerprinting most likely digital as well to prepare for the Mark of the Beast.
The 4th Seal of Revelation won't be a choice of only one plague. The 4th Seal will carry the full weight of all the plagues that King David had to choose from for NUMBERING the People and more. The 4th Seal will affect the fourth part of the World which is more than 1.6 Billion people!
In Revelation 6:7-8 we read, "And when he had opened the Fourth Seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given to him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with:
1) sword (WAR), and with
2) hunger (FAMINE), and with
3) death (PESTILENCE?), and with the
4) beasts of the earth."
We can expect the opening of the 4th Seal of Revelation sometime in 2010/2011!
The Wheat and the Tares are ripe for the Harvest of Yahuah!
The Feast Days are a mini version and pattern of things to come. Grain Harvest and especially Wheat Harvest was a sign by Yahuah for the restoration of Israel. Wheat Harvest was a time of rejoicing, the middle and 2nd of the three Harvest Festivals on the Sacred Calendar Year of Yahuah. We have examples of Yahuah's great love and mercy for His people marked by Barley and Wheat Harvest. Barley Harvest represents the Messiah's 1st Coming and Wheat Harvest represents the Messiah's 2nd Coming.
The 1st Passover on the 14th Day of the 1st Month is the sign for the start of the Barley Harvest.
The 2nd Passover on the 14th Day of the 2nd Month is the sign for the start of the Wheat Harvest.
The Feast of Pentecost marks the end of Wheat and Grain Harvest.
From the 1st Day of Creation on the 28th Day of the 12th Month to the start of Barley Harvest on the 18th Day of the 1st Month = 22 Days.
From the 1st Day of Creation on the 28th Day of the 12th Month to the start of Wheat Harvest on the 16th Day of the 2nd Month = 50 Days!
From the 16th Day of the 2nd Month the start of Wheat Harvest to the Feast of Pentecost on the 7th Day of the 3rd Month = 22 Days of Wheat Harvest.
The Feast of Pentecost = 50th Day of the Grain Harvest.
In recent Days it has been announced in the News that remains of Noah's Ark has been found on Mount Ararat. At the time of Noah it was on the 27th Day of the 2nd Month that the earth was dry and Noah and his Family could finally leave the safety of the Ark (Genesis 8:14-22). Noah immediately made an altar to Yahuah and offered up sacrifices. The 27th Day of the 2nd Month is the 12th Day of Wheat Harvest and the 40th Day of Grain Harvest. Barley Harvest began with the Sheaf Offering of the Barley on the 18th Day of the 1st Month. The Messiah was seen for 40 Days after his resurrection from the dead and he ascended up into Heaven on the 27th Day of the 2nd Month during Wheat Harvest. From the 28th Day of the 2nd Month to the Day of Pentecost is the Last 10 Days of Wheat Harvest. These Last 10 Days represent the Last 10 Years of Wheat Harvest in the Last Days. These Last 10 Years are from the Feast of Trumpets on September 20, 2001 to the Messiah's 2nd Coming on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011. 911 on September 11, 2001 was a wake up call to the World of these Last 10 Years of Wheat Harvest.
In July of 2010 we are now in the end of these Last 10 Years of Wheat Harvest. On the yearly Sacred Calendar the Wheat Harvest is 22 Days long. At the end of the 6000 Years from Adam the Wheat Harvestis 22 Years long from Spring 1990 to Spring 2012. Just as the 22nd Day of Wheat Harvest is the Day of Pentecost the 50th Day of Grain Harvest, so the Last and 22nd Year marks the end of Wheat Harvest. This 22nd Year is from Spring 2011 to Spring 2012. The Messiah will return in the middle of this 22nd Year on the 1st Day of the 7th Month on September 15, 2011 on the Feast of Trumpets.
Here are some examples in scripture of Yahuah's restoration during the Wheat Harvest.
1) Gideon - during Wheat Harvest was called of Yahuah to deliver Israel. (Judges 6:1-40).
2) Ruth and Naomi came back to Israel at the beginning of Barley Harvest and Ruth was married to Boaz at the end of Wheat Harvest. Boaz and Ruth are the great grandparents of King David and direct ancestors of the Messiah. Ruth and Naomi went back to Bethlehem. "Bethlehem" means "House of Bread". The Messiah said, "I am the bread of life, he that comes unto me shall never hunger." The Messiah was born in the town of Bethlehem.
3) The Ark of Yahuah was returned to Israel by the Philistines during Wheat Harvest.
4) State of Israel was re-established on May 14, 1948 in Wheat Harvest.
Biblical Events during Barley Harvest:
The Children of Israelcame out of Egypt after 430 years at the Beginning of Barley Harvest on the 15th Day of the 1st Month.
The Children of Israel went into the Promised Land at the Beginning of Barley Harvest on the 10th Day of the 1st Month after wandering for 40 Years in the Wilderness.
1) 1st Day 2nd Month: Moses - the people numbered during Barley Harvest (2nd Year in the Wilderness) . (Numbers 1:1).
2) 2nd Day 2nd Month: Solomon - Solomon begins to build the 1st Temple during Barley Harvest (4th Year of his reign) (1Kings 6:1,37; 2Chronicles 3:2).
3) 10th Day 2nd Month: Noah - Noah's Family and animals enter the Ark during Barley harvest (600th Year of Noah's life) (Genesis 7:4,10).
Biblical Events during Wheat Harvest:
1) 16th Day of 2nd Month: Moses - Manna given on the 1st Day of Wheat Harvest in 1st Year of 40 Years in the Wilderness (Exodus 16:13,1,12-15).
2) 17th Day of 2nd Month: Noah - Waters of the Flood begin on the 2nd Day of Wheat Harvest (600th Year of Noah's life) (Genesis 7:11).
3) 27th Day of 2nd Month: Messiah - Messiah ascends up into Heaven during Wheat Harvest, 40 Days after his resurrection from the dead (Acts 1:3,10).
4) 27th Day of 2nd Month: Noah - earth dry after the Flood during Wheat harvest (601st Year of Noah's life) (Genesis 8:13).
5) -- 2nd Month: Zerubbabel - Zerubbabel begins the work on the 2nd Temple during Grain Harvest (2nd Year - 537 BCE) (Ezra 3:8).
6) During Wheat Harvest: King David - David numbered the people and Angel of Yahuah sent to destroy. Angel with sword over Jerusalem between earth and heaven. (1Chronicles 21:1-30).
Yahuah blessed the people during Grain Harvest but He also punished them when they did evil. In 1Samuel 12:17-25 Yahuah punished Israel with rain during Wheat Harvest because they chose a man as King to rule over them instead of Yahuah their Creator. Again in Joel 1:11,1-20 the Wheat and the Barley will perish in the Last Days for the Day of Yahuah is come.
Satan's battle for the Mind, to control all of Mankind:
How will Satan take over the World and conquer all of Mankind? Satan has to control the mind to take over a human being. First he must subdue the mind to control the body. How does he do this? Satan creates something or a situation where you have to go through him to get what you want. Satan does this through addictions. It is already happening. That is what addiction and High Tech is all about. First Satan gives you a taste or at least an illusion of a taste of the so called good life, then you are hooked.
As believers we have to put on our spiritual armour to combat Satan and his influence: In Ephesians 6:10-18 we read, "Put on the whole armour of Yahuah, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of Yahuah, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of Yahuah: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."
It is now just a question of time before a person will have to take the Mark of the Beast to be able to function in the New World Order. Most people will gladly take the Mark of the Beast to get the basic necessities of life -- of food, shelter, medical care, etc.
How is Satan moving closer to the total domination of the World? By terror and fear! Terror attacks and the fear of Financial collapse and other threats are forcing governments around the world to change laws in the name of security to submitt to Satan's rule. It will take just a few more devastating terror attacks on a massive scale for Satan to finally introduce the Mark of the Beast and to enforce it onto every individual on the planet. Satan has already enticed the populous by addicting them to the Image of the Beast through High Tech imaging and wizardry. Satan wants your mind! Will you give it to him or will you fight back with the Word of Yahuah? The Word of Yahuah is the sword and only weapon we have to fight back with. We also have Yahuah's protection and the comfort of Yahuah's Holy Spirit.
Major institutions are no longer working for us, they are working against us, because of the bottom line and the love of money. The joy and the peace is gone. The security of Family and the neighbourhood which we enjoyed so much is gone. Everyone is fearful and looking out for themselves.
In the New World Order it is all about ID (Identification) and control of the individual. In this New World Order you will not be able to buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast. The carrot that Satan puts before us are the essentials of life of food, water, shelter, and social contact with Family and society. If you want it you will have to jump through Satan's hoops to get it -- you will have to take the Mark of the Beast and you will have to worship the Image of the Beast. Most credit cards and bank cards already have microchips. Most pets and domestic animals are already chipped. It is a very small step to inject a microchip into the hand or forehead of human beings.
We are on schedule. Once the world gets hit with a few more major catastrophes then all the powers of Satan's arsenal will be put in gear overnight eg. RFID chip implant, GPS tracking, concentration camps, etc. The High Tech is already in place, we are now just waiting for the trigger to set things in motion by Satan. Then Man will see the true evil genius of our real foe -- Satan himself glorified as the Saviour of the World with his fallen Angels taking full control of this once beautiful planet.
Fear not you that believe in Yahuah, for in a short time Satan will be cast into the bottomless pit for 1000 Years and after the 1000 Years into the Lake of Fire for all eternity. Be not deceived, Satan's time and control on the Earth in these Last Days is for a very short time, at most 3 1/2 Years of which we are now past the half way point.
We are not ignorant of Satan's tricks to deceive and to control. If you want something in the world, you will have to pay Satan whatever toll fee he asks for. Human Freedom is a thing of the past. We are now herded and controlled like penned up cattle for the slaughter. Once Satan has corralled all of Mankind in a holding pen, then he will brand his cattle with the Mark of the Beast. Then he will force all to worship the Image of the Beast.
High Tech bringing Mark of the Beast closer to reality:
In Japan they are developing 3D Facial Recognition Profiling that will eliminate the need for ID Cards and Passwords. This is another sign that the technology is moving toward more biometric ID and the soon coming of the Mark of the Beast.
The introduction of "Cloud Technology" will make it possible to have a more secure form of ID online. There will be a major shift from Personal Computers to Dumb Terminals. The applications and personal info that once was on the Hard Drive of the Personal Computer will be on a Virtual Hard Drive on Servers somewhere else in the world in the "Cloud". This will shift the control of Personal Info from the Individual to the Beast System. The Dumb Terminal will have a fingerprint scanner or smart card reader for positive ID. Some new computers already have these new security features.
Some phone companies are already using Voice Recognition Technology for positive ID for customers to access their Account data. The voice print of the customer is matched with the one stored in the company database for confirmation.
New Cars have built-in Voice Recognition in order to remotely access the GPS, Radio, and other functions of the car. Some of these new cars can actually seek out a parking space and park themselves using sensors without any input from the driver.
As hackers and ID theft becomes more and more of a problem, the Mark of the Beast will become more appealing and ideal as a solution. The Beast System is a virtual world created with High Tech. The Real World is Yahuah's Creation. To be a part of the Beast System you will have to pay and the price for admission will be the Mark of the Beast. You will not be able to function or even exist in the Beast System without the Mark of the Beast.
All it will take is one very big terrorist attack to put the whole world on its ear and to introduce compulsory biometric ID which will be incorporated as part of the Mark of the Beast.
In this New World Order of the Beast, personal freedom will be a thing of the past. The goal of the Beast and Satan is total control and domination of all Mankind. For Satan knows that his time is short and is speeding things up with every passing day.
Satan's Virtual World:
Satan's world is artificial which he is creating to deceive the whole world. It is a virtual world and is unnatural at that. So it is written in 2Timothy 4:3-4 where we read, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." Turned to Satan's world of Virtual Reality.
Satan's world is a Virtual World which Satan created. Yahuah's world is the Natural World which Yahuah created. Man today has one foot in Satan's Virtual World and one foot in Yahuah's Natural World. The danger is that we are split and divided between these two worlds. Sooner or later we will have to choose which world we want to be solidly in. Like the person who had one foot in the boat and one foot on the dock. When the boat started to drift away from the dock, the person had to very quickly decide otherwise he would fall into the water and would have neither. So we too have to make a very hard decision. To be wholly committed to Satan's World or to Yahuah's World.
We are servants to whomsoever we obey. So choose Yahuah, choose Life and Live.
Satan truly has deceived the whole world with his fancy new High Tech gadgets. People are just foaming at the mouth and rushing to get their hands on the latest High Tech toys.
The Digital Age has brought the majority of the world's population into the cities. These cities are now controlled by computers to deliver water, food, fuel, electricity, security and other essentials for life in our modern world. Satan has coaxed Man into the cities with the promise of an easier life. By controlling Mankind in these cities it is now possible for the prophecies of the Last Days to take place. No other time in Man's history has this ever been possible as it is now.
The telecommunications of our modern world is becoming fully integrated into one Digital Network. Cell Phones, T.V., regular telephones, computers and other electronic devices are being solidly interconnected with the banking, government, and business systems. Once this is complete, the Mark of the Beast will be introduced for security reasons. The Mark of the Beast will include biometric identification such as iris scan, digitized fingerprinting, facial recognition, voice recognition, DNA, etc.
Satan has to break Yahuah's Laws to achieve world domination. By doing so, he will incur Yahuah's wrath upon Man.
Only the true Believers will obey and keep the Laws and Commandments of Yahuah. Believers will incur Satan's wrath and will not be able to function in the Beast System. We have examples of retribution when going against the powers that be. In China to punish a rebelious minority group, the internet and cell phone communication was cut off. Most people in this case were using the internet and cell phones for doing business. As a result most businesses went bankrupt. We are so intricately connected to the Digital World that the people will not be able to buy or sell once the Mark of the Beast is introduced.
More Perfect Numbers:
22 divided by 7 = 3.14 which is Pi to 2 decimal places. The perfect numbers of 7 and 22 always refer to the Messiah.
18 + 22 + 26 = 66 = 22 + 22 + 22. From 1945 to 2011 = 66 Years. Where 18 = Righteousness, 22 = the Messiah, and 26 = Yahuah the Father. There are 66 Books in the King James Bible with 39 Books in the Old Testament and 27 Books in the New Testament.
Other Events:
1) Eclipses: In 2010, there will be two central eclipses of the sun: an annular eclipse on January 15, 2010 and a total eclipse on July 11, 2010. This total solar eclipse on July 11 will be seen by very few people as it will be largely over the Pacific Ocean. The major land in its path is a very unusual island, Easter Island which is covered with giant idol statues. Even though Easter Island is some 4000 miles west of Chile, it still belongs to Chile. July 11, 2010 is on the 25th Day of the 4th Month which is the 2nd Jubilee of Days on the Sacred Calendar, the 25th Day of Summer.
2) Major Earthquake: 7.0 Magnitude Earthquake hits Haiti on Tuesday January 12, 2010 on the 27th Day of the 10th Month. On January 15, 2010 the 30th Day of the 10th Month was the solar Annular Eclipse which could be seen from Africa and Asia. By January 18, 2010 in Haiti, there were about 200,000 dead, 250,000 injured, 1.5 Million homeless, and about 3 Million people still in desperate need of basic essentials such as clean drinking water, food, shelter and medical aid.
3) Major Earthquake: 8.8 Magnitude Earthquake hits Chile on February 28, 2010 and sends Tsunami waves right across the Pacific Ocean. This earthquake has caused more than 700 deaths and has affected more than 2 Million people.
4) Volcanic Eruption: On April 15, 2010 volcanic ash from Iceland grounds planes in most of Europe. More than 95,000 flights were cancelled costing $200 Million per day and over $2 Billion while the planes were grounded. This caused major distress to travellers and airtravel chaos worldwide. It also has affected climate and agricultural change globally. It has disrupted the delivery of mail, fresh produce, etc. worldwide.
5) Major Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico: On April 27, 2010 the 11th Day of the 2nd Month during Barley Harvest this Major Oil Spill Disaster occurred. An oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico exploded allowing oil to gush into the surrounding waters and could not be shut off. With over 150 Million gallons of oil now spilled into the Gulf of Mexico and counting this is the worst such disaster in U.S. history. It may take another few months or longer to cap the leak completely. Or it may not even be possible to stop it at all because now there are also cracks on the ocean floor that may make it even worse. This disaster has affected the livelihood of Millions of people and has spread to 5 U.S. States. From the air the oil slicks look like reddish brown blood.
Could this be the start of the fulfillment of the prophecy in Revelation 8:8-9 which reads, "And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed." The huge oil platform looks like a mountain on the sea and it was destroyed by fire. About a third part of the Gulf of Mexico is now covered by reddish brown blood coloured oil slicks and is killing the wildlife in and out of the water. Most of the ships and fishermen that used to fish in the area are now tied up on shore with their livelihoods destroyed for generations to come. The 2nd Trumpet of Revelation 8:8-9 has now sounded!
6) Stock Market Plunges: On May 6, 2010 the Stock Market plunged nearly 1000 points in just 1/2 Hour causing panic worldwide. Turns out it was just a technical glich fueled by uncertainty over the Financial Crisis in Greece and in the EU Euro. Financial problems still overshadow the EU starting with Greece but also threatening to have a spill over dominos affect on other weaker Nations such as Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Italy and now even the United Kingdom because of huge deficits. The price of Gold is hovering around $1200.00 an Ounce U.S. showing the depreciation of money and the higher cost of living.
7) Heat Wave and Drought in Russia: July 23, 2010. Russia is suffering its worst drought in 130 Years since 1880! A month long heat wave is shriveling crops and forcing up food prices. Heat is being funneled up from North Africa. Russia is the 4th largest wheat producer in the world. Experts are forecasting a 20 percent drop in the Nations grain harvest. This report has caused a 25 percent spike in wheat prices in July. Across Russia fires are twice that of normal.
With drought comes the burning up of the grass and due to the dryness, forest fires increase burning up of the trees. Severe drought has affected many parts of the world in recent years: Africa, North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. This is another confirmation that the 1st Trumpet of Revelation has already sounded.
In Revelation 8:7 we read, "The First Angel Sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up."
At present there is a smoke screen that gives the impression that nothing is happening. But clearly by the major catastrophes that are occurring around the world we are in the Great Tribulation. As it is written, "If it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." (Matthew 24:24).
The Spiritual Alignment of 2010:
In 2010 the Christian Holidays line up with Yahuah's Holy Days and other significant days on the Sacred Calendar.
1) Easter Sunday (April 4, 2010) is on the 18th Day of the 1st Month of the Sheaf Offering of the Barley and the Beginning of the Grain Harvest. This is another reminder by the Messiah in his Parable of the Wheat and the Tares that we are in the Harvest at the End of the World.
2) Christian Pentecost (May 23, 2010) is on the same day as the Sacred Pentecost on the 7th Day of the 3rd Month which marks the end of Wheat and Grain Harvest.
3) Christmas Day (December 25, 2010) will be on the 10th Day of the 10th Month which traditionally signifies double judgement! For example the siege for the destruction of the 1st Temple in Jerusalem began on the 10th Day of the 10th Month!
The Cashless Society and the Mark of the Beast:
The World is already running on a cashless system of electronic debit and credit. However, cash is still used temporarily. Once cash is totally eliminated then the system will have total control of the populous. The people will not be able to defraud the government of taxes, no more monetary theft, and no more counterfeiting, for every transaction will be trackable.
This will ensure security but at what cost? Privacy and the freedoms of the individual will be a thing of the past. The movement of each person and their buying and selling habits will be tracked and recorded electronically. This will be the perfect system to achieve Satan's goal of Global Domination.
Once this cashless system is in total control, then the Mark of the Beast will be introduced and the 1st Beast of Revelation 13:1-2 will clearly reign.
In 2010 Governments around the world will introduce ways to reduce their huge deficits with tighter monetary controls. Controls that will enable the government to collect taxes and fees that people would normally defraud the government of.
Nature is fighting back:
Man's continuous meddling has disturbed the balance of Nature with severe consequences. Another recent example is the Lion Fish which are now out of control and are consuming the Atlantic Ocean. Man has introduced them into the wild out of their normal habitat. These diabolical Lion Fish are consuming everything that they can put into their mouth. They are venomous to Man and have venomous spikes. They produce 37,000 eggs every 4 Days. TheseKing Fish are another sign of the Last Days when Men will be killed by the Beasts of the Earth (4th Seal of Revelation 6:4-8). Man is destroying Nature and Nature will destroy Man.
The Iracongi (Irukandji) jellyfish is mostly around Australia but is moving to other oceans of the world. This tiny jelly fish is only 1 centimeter wide but has a deadly sting. The venom of this jellyfish is 100 times more potent than that of a cobra.
Scientists warn explosive growth of jellyfish populations in oceans and seas around the world are a sign of marine ecosystems being devastated by overfishing, nutrient pollution, global warming, and the introduction of non-native species.
Japan was hit by an invasion of giant Nomura jellyfish in 2009. The Nomura jellyfish can be 6 to 8 Feet in Diameter, weighing up to 660 pounds the size of a washing machine or larger. In 2005 at the peak of another invasion, an estimated 300 to 500 million monster jellyfish passed through the Tsushima Strait into the Sea of Japan each day! Japan relies heavily on its fishing industry for food and these jellyfish have caused extensive damage to its fishing fleet and to fish stocks. Making even the few fish caught inedible because of the stings of the jellyfish. There is an estimate that 20 Billion Nomura jellyfish have passed through the Tsushima Strait since 2002. This is a 100 year bloom growing in larger and larger swarms.
Man's pollution is causing jellyfish blooms in the world's oceans creating dead zones around the world mostly near highly densely populated areas.
Man's destruction of Nature by pollution and mismanagement is reaping his downfall in these Last Days according to scripture and prophecy. Part of the 4th Seal in Revelation 6:7-8 shows that the fourth part of the earth will be killed with sword (War), hunger (Famine), with death (Disease?), and with the beasts of the earth (jellyfish, killer bees, etc.). Satan has seeded the world with evil and Man's obedience to Satan is causing him to reap a whirlwind of destruction.
Man has destroyed the natural balance of Nature. We have examples all over the world of Man's interference with Nature resulting in catastrophe and plague. Take for example the plagues of the Cane Toad and Rabbit in Australia to mention just two.
The Earth is imploding on itself and as a result food sources are drying up which will lead to global FAMINE. For the past 150 years Man has cut down forests all over the world. Trees take in carbon-monoxide and give out oxygen in return. Air pollution is killing millons of people every year. Man's interference with weather patterns are also causing flooding and drought worldwide.
What is Man doing about this impending doom? Man is sticking his head in the sand by watching T.V. and surrounding himself with a virtual world of electronics. Satan has deceived the world! Do the Math: Human overpopulation combined with devastating dwindling food stocks = FAMINE, DISEASE, and WAR! A sure recipe for the annihilation of Mankind. The evil that Man now faces is by Satan's design for world power and domination. Satan's time is short and he wants to destroy Man and this beautiful world.
Energy is not destroyed but merely converted into another form. The earth has been dormant for millions of years with its resources. Now in these Last Days the release of these mineral, oil, ground water, and other resources has unleashed the plagues upon Man and beast that we are now facing. It is almost as if the Earth is crying out because of the plunder, destruction and pollution of her resources.
Nature is now out of balance due to Satan's influence on Man and is causing Man's destruction and downfall.
More Insights from the Sacred Calendar:
A) Perfection and Completeness:
At the end of the Sacred Calendar Year there is a sign of perfection and completeness.
The 7th Jubilee of Days on the 28th Day of the 12th Month = 7th and Last cycle of 50 Days in the Sacred Calendar Year.
The 29th Day of the 12th Month = 51st Day.
The 30th Day of the 12th Month = 52nd Day and the Last Day of the Sacred Calendar Year. Note: there are 52 Weeks in the Year and the Last Day of the Year is a 52nd Day! The 52nd Day marks the end of the 52 Weeks! How perfect and how complete are Yahuah's ways.
Note: 52 = 2 x 26 where 26 represents Yahuah the Father and 2 x 26 represents the Messiah's 1st and 2nd Coming. The Messiah represents his beloved Father and the Messiah carries the fulness of his Father's Name of Yahuah which has the numerical value of 26.
B) The 10th Day of the 1st and 7th Months a sign of the Beginning and End of Judgment:
The Spring Feast Days represent the Messiah's 1st Coming. The 10th Day of the 1st Month marks the beginning of Judgment. Events that happened on the 10th Day of the 1st Month:
1) Most of the 10 Plagues of Egypt complete by the 10th Day of the 1st Month, with the 10th Plague on Passover Day on the 14th Day of the 1st Month.
2) Passover Lamb selected on the 10th Day of the 1st Month. The Messiah was the Passover Lamb at his 1st Coming.
3) Israel crosses the Jordan River and passed into the Promised Land on the 10th Day of the 1st Month.
4) The Messiah makes his triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the 10th Day of the 1st Month.
The 1st Month was the start of a New Year and a new beginning, a reminder of the beginning of Creation.
The 7th Month is a time of completion, a reminder of Judgment and the 2nd Coming of the Messiah. The Messiah will return on the 1st Day of the 7th Month on the Feast of Trumpets. He will judge the world on the 10th Day of the 7th Month on the Day of Atonement.
C) Proof that "New Moon" in Scripture means "New Month":
Yahuah's true Calendar is Solar. However, there are many that insist on using a Solar-Lunar Calendar because of the misunderstanding of the term "New Moon" in the Bible. There is proof in 1Samuel 20:5,18,27,34 that the term "New Moon" = "1st Day of the Month" clearly indicating a New Month and not the observance of a "New Moon" of a Lunar Calendar.
Drunk on New Tech in the Last Days:
The people are addicted to the New Technology. They are hard wired into the Beast System and have no rest day or night. Their brains are constantly being fed electronically with info and messages. At first it seemed a little funny or even a little strange to hear or see someone sitting on the toilet or at a urinal relieving themselves telephoning or texting oftentimes with hands-free devices.
Before High Tech, if a person walked down the street seeming to be talking to themselves they would have been labeled crazy. Now it is commonplace because of hands-free devices.
Is it a wonder that people are dying from being stressed out? They have no rest day or night. They can not turn off the wheels of Satan that have been set in motion in these Last Days. Like a rodent on a treadmill that can not stop, the people burn themselves out. Heart attacks, ulcers, stress disorders, obesity, and other chronic diseases are commonplace and are a direct result of living in the fast lane of this present Satanic Age and Beast System.
It is hard to see what is going on when you are a part of it and are caught up in the Beast System. This way of living is not natural and contradicts the Laws and Commandments of Yahuah the Creator who made us. We were created in Yahuah's image but now Satan has turned us away from our Creator. Satan has re-created us, changing and deceiving us into living in a virtual world of make believe created in Satan's image.
Satan is using our natural and wholesome good nature to destroy us by funneling us to do his bidding through deception. Like a moth flies to the flame so we too draw closer to our destruction. The snack foods that are loaded with too much salt and sugar are destroying our beautiful bodies. The processed foods are devoid of the necessary vitamins and nutrients that our bodies need for good health. Is it such a wonder that so many people in the world are sick and dying? The air, water, and food are all polluted due to the unnatural way man is living. Satan uses the greed and the lust for power to deceive, destroy, and to control Mankind.
As soon as a person turns their back on the evil of this world then they become odd and they no longer fit into the norm of this world anymore. They are ridiculed and ostracized from the society of Satan and the Beast System. The deception is so strong because Satan has had 6000 years to mold his New World Order. In these Last Days Satan knows that his time is short and that he is quickly running out of time. That is why things are speeding up through the use of High Tech. So fast is it moving now that the hearts of many are failing them. Man is bewildered by the speed and by the wizardry of these new and exciting addictions that are destroying him.
As long as the people are on the treadmill Satan does not care because he has the people under his total control through addictions. However, as soon as a person comes to their senses and starts to get off or even tries to get off then they become a threat to all the others that are still going round and round at an intoxicating speed. Just think of it for a moment. If the people were to suddenly come to their senses and go back to living a normal life as the Creator intended, then Satan's virtual world would come crashing down and would cease to exist. This is exactly what will happen when the Messiah returns. Satan will be bound for 1000 years. Then this beautiful world will recover, revive, and bloom as the Garden of Eden as it was originally intended.
If people would stop buying high tech gadgets, processed foods, luxury items, etc. and go back to living a simple natural more wholesome lifestyle then Satan's System would fall apart. The Family Unit and the strength of Community would revive so we could live a happy, safe, and more meaningful life. High unemployment in the big city is making people desperate to survive causing crime to escalate. Why not put people back on the land to be productive and to live a happier life. Yes, working on the land would be harder but more rewarding and healthier. The easy living in the city is killing us.
The Messiah said it very clearly in Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter you in at the strait (hard) gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait (hard) is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it."
The whole world is dazzled and mesmerized by the new wonders of technology. The people flock together to bow before the wizard.
Can Human Beings see Angels?:
Insects can see things that Human Beings can not because of the different frequencies of light. Is it such a wonder that Angels have been able to be invisible due to the ability to change to a different frequency of light. Because Angels are Angels of light unlike us fleshly mortal beings. (2Kings 6:16-17). So next time that you are out on a warm summer night, why not take a pair of infrared binoculars and you just might spot an Angel or two!!
Satan is in the process of changing History Digitally!!!:
There is a major shift to e-libraries where hard cover books are being replaced by e-books. And it is not just books that are being digitized. Photographs and other records are also archived on computer databases. The danger here is that if all info goes digital then there will be opportunity to abuse and corrupt info to conform to government manipulation to be more politically correct. There is a project underway right now to digitize every book in existence on this planet. This has the potential power to change History. Most people no longer read hard cover books anymore but rely totally on the info that is online. Do you see the DANGER!! Not only can the Beast System now profile each person based on the info that they access but can also change the truth to suit their political agenda if they so desire.
The ALARM BELLS are ringing loud and clear!!! Do you hear them? Do you see where this New World Order is headed? We see the miraculous power and convenience of this New Age but do we see the DANGER?!!! Are we right now worshipping the Image of the Beast without even knowing it? By sitting in front of a T.V., or computer monitor, or using a hand held cell phone screen for hours. Are we so mesmerized, conditioned, and intoxicated that we are oblivious to what it is doing to us? Day in and Day out this exposure must have a deadly affect on our minds, bodies, and spirits!!!
As our outside world turns more dangerous and contentious many are turning inward to the false security of the 4 walls of their home. Once inside the home, the only form of social activity or entertainment is the electronics and digital comforts!!
We are duped and deceived big time without even noticing it!!!
First comes the sugar coating with the wonder of this New Age, then comes the HOOK with the loss of our freedoms and total servitude to worship Satan!!!
Summary of the Seals, Trumpets, and Vials of the Book of Revelation:
As of today, July 26, 2010 here is the Summary of the Seals, Trumpets, and Vials of Revelation:
A) 7 Seals: The 1st three Seals are open. The 4th Seal should be open sometime in 2010/2011.
B) 7 Trumpets: The 1st two Trumpets have sounded. We are now waiting for the sounding of the 3rd Trumpet.
C) 7 Vials: None of the Vials have been poured out yet. The 1st Vial will be poured out once the Mark of the Beast is issued.
Conclusion:
All the evidence still points to Fall 2011 for the Messiah's return but this could change. Yahuah only knows for sure. So we have to rely on Yahuah's great love and mercy to help us through these difficult times. The closer we get to the actual return of the Messiah the more certain the time will be and the greater the deception by Satan.
During the Last 10 Years from September 20, 2001 to the Messiah's return on September 15, 2011 Satan is making war with the Saints of Yahuah. Ever since 911 Satan has been making war with the Saints by changing the laws and by taking away the rights and freedoms of individuals. There is no more peace, no more joy, but relentless and depressing control of the minds of the people through digital high tech. For example, GPS tracking, surveillance cameras, constant use of T.V., Cell phones, e-mail, etc. for virtual communications. There is less and less person to person physical contact or gathering in Families and Communities. Satan's aim is to divide and conquer, to isolate us from our Families and Communities. Satan seeks only to destroy and he is doing it by destroying the Community and the Family Unit where there used to be security and strength.
With Satan's influence Man is systematically legalizing those things that are an abomination to Yahuah. Satan is ruling Man through vices and addictions. The once prominent markers and reminders of Yahuah's Commandments and Laws are being removed from Public Places. The pillars of faith for Believers are the Laws and Commandments of Yahuah and having the testimony of Yahuahshua the Messiah (Revelation 12:17). There are many Christians today that have been deceived into believing that the Laws and Commandments of Yahuah have been done away with. Without Law we will have Chaos and Lawlessness which is quickly becoming the norm around the world with rioting, wars and civil strife. The real battle is spiritual warfare, Satan's battle for the Soul of Man. As it is written in Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Do not kid yourself, there is spiritual warfare going on right now of the Sons of Darkness against the Sons of Light. If we do not have the Holy Spirit of Yahuah then we are none of His. By their fruits you shall know them. We will overcome by the Word of Yahuah and by Yahuah's Holy Spirit through the Messiah Yahuahshua. "For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie." (Revelation 22:15).
Satan's only desire is to exploit and to enslave all of Mankind so he himself can declare himself as the Almighty. By taking advantage of Man's weaknesses he is achieving his ultimate goal in these Last Days as prophesied in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.
We are living in the Last Days. Expect the introduction of Biometric Identification with the 2010 - 2011 Census' around the world geared to produce National ID cards and/or implantable ID microchips into the Human Body.
The alarm bells are already ringing and bringing to pass the prophecies in Revelation 13:1-18 where we read, "And he deceives them that dwell on the earth ... " Of Revelation 12:17 which reads, "the Dragon was wroth with the woman ... " which is already happening and has been for a couple of years now. The Image of the Beast is here now in the form of Digital T.V., Cell Phones, Computers, Video Games, etc. All that we are waiting for now is the Mark of the Beast which is imminent.
The signs are all around us that we are in the Great Tribulation, even though we can not at present clearly identify the Two Witnesses, etc. It is quite possible that the Two Witnesses are triggering natural disasters and other events around the world. We may not recognize or see the Two Witnesses but their presence can be felt.
We are now at the end of Wheat Harvest in these Last Days. The Messiah's 1st Coming began Barley Harvest. The Messiah's 2nd Coming will end and complete the Wheat Harvest in the Last Days. In the last 2 verses of the Old Testament in Malachi 4:5 we read, "Behold, I will send you Eliyahu the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of Yahuah." Eliyahu is one of the Two Witnesses, Enoch is the other.
The Signs and Disasters in these Last Days are a reminder to all of Mankind that Yahuah the Creator is still in control. These disasters are disrupting and inconveniencing the people of the New World Order. It is reminding Man how fragile Satan's temporary control over the world really is. Satan's lease on the World is abruptly coming to an end with the soon return of the Messiah. Satan knows that his 6000 years of terror is coming to an end and he is angry making war with the Saints of Yahuah. It is written that the Righteous will have tribulation and it will begin with the Household of Yahuah. It has already begun and Satan is now on the Earth causing havoc forging the Nations into his New World Order so he can rule the World putting himself above the Creator.
The wonders of New High Tech gadgets are pacifying the people into mindless zombies so Satan can control the World. Satan is using fear, chaos, and the wonders of High Tech to mold the New World Order into his own Image. The New World Order will be born out of Chaos.
Satan's Great Deception is that his New World Order is being forged and yet no one seems to see or understand that it is even happening. The technique that Satan the Great Wizard and Magician is doing is that he is pulling Order out of his self made hat of Chaos (Global Financial Crisis, Social Unrest, Wars, Food Crisis, Natural Disasters, etc.). Satan is coercing and orchestrating the weak human governments of this world to do his bidding.
The 1st and 2nd Beast of Revelation 13 are here now on the Earth. Satan and his fallen Angels are also here now on the Earth using High Tech to pacify and subdue Man to bring about his New World Order. Revelation13:16-17 "And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their forehead: 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."
The present days are evil and will wax worse and worse until Satan achieves his purpose to conquer and control the whole Earth. That is why there is no peace or joy any more, only fear and uncertainty. This will all change once the Messiah returns and does a major cleanup of this corrupt and polluted Earth.
Satan is controlling Man through a plague of addictions such as has never been seen before in history. Everything has been altered. The junk, processed, and genetically modified foods that we are consuming are weakening our immune systems. Watching too much T.V., Video Games, etc. are further weakening us through lack of excercise. The social structure has broken down and many have lost hope. The Financial Crisis and loss of jobs is making life miserable for many. The whole purpose of Satan is to bring Man to his knees. Then Man will be forced to accept whatever conditions that Satan proposes, namely to accept the Mark of the Beast and to Worship the Image of the Beast.
The Signs of the End of Wheat Harvest are all around us and it will just intensify the closer we get to the Messiah's return. It really doesn't matter if you believe the Messiah will come in 2011 or 2012 or even later. The facts speak for themselves. We are at the brink now. This world can not sustain the explosive human population growth or man's devastating destructive impact on Planet Earth. The Day of Reckoning is now and the Messiah's return is imminent. The closer we get to the Messiah's return the clearer the picture will get.
If our understanding of these Last Days is correct then the worst will take place during the Last 6 Months of the Great Tribulation namely between Spring 2011 and Fall 2011 with the Messiah returning on the Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011. If not then we have to reassess. Regardless of how we look at it the time is near, at the very door and all the signs in the world back it up.
What is coming, is coming hard and fast. There is a famine in the Land not for bread but for the Word of Yahuah.
Romans 13:11-14 "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put you on the Master Yahuahshua the Messiah, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear Yahuah, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For Yahuah shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
Yahuah is our life, purpose, joy, song, defense, and hope, and there is no other. Wide and broad is the way to destruction; narrow and hard is the way to Eternal Life.
Look up and rejoice for the time is at hand.
INDEX OF TOPICS:
129.0) Satan's Mind Control through Digital Technology & Final push for Power:
Introduction:
Today is the 7th Day of the 9th Month, November 21, 2010. The strength of the United States has further declined because the Fed has injected another $600 Billion into the U.S. Economy. This has pushed the value of Gold over $1400 U.S. per Ounce. On the other hand the Chinese Currency, the Yuan is undervalued and is under Global pressure to increase its value. This is all part of Satan's plan to bring all Nations under ONE Economic Umbrella to control the World.
At the same time Satan's Plan to Control the Mind of Man is right on schedule. The Minds of the New Generation of young people has already been altered. Their minds have been in essence totally rewired through conditioning by Digital Technology. These young people have been conditioned to multitask say 7 tasks at a time using short term memory with astonishing speed. Yet their long term memory is wanting, many not able to do simple addition and multiplication. The older generation can only do say about 3 tasks at a time but they have stronger mathematical and analytical skills to solve complex problems using long term memory. The Younger Generation is lost without a calculator and is driven by Digital Technology being intoxicated by High Tech Toys. A moral and thinking generation is just about extinct paving the way for total Domination of the World by Satan.
Spiritual Battle for the Mind and Soul of Man:
In the Book of Revelation Chapters 2 and 3 we are given a list of promises and benefits that those who overcome will inherit. Overcome what? Overcome Satan's addictions and vices which are contrary to the laws and commandments of Yahuah. In Ephesians 6:12 we are told, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
So what can we do to fight back? The answer is there in Ephesians 6:10-18 where we read, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in Yahuah, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of Yahuah, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of Yahuah, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod, with the preparation of the glad tidings of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF YAHUAH: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all the Saints."
Here is a very simple formula you can use to discern and check what state you are in at any one time:
PERSON (Individual) + Demons = VICES.
Addiction is an outward sign of Demon possession. The stronger the addiction, the more control the Demon(s) have over a person.
1Timothy 4:1-2 "Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron."
We are all vulnerable if we allow demons to come into our life to control us through addictions of any kind. Addiction can be anything that totally controls and consumes our lives. Some well recognized addictions are alcohol, drugs, gambling, and smoking. But addiction is not limited to these. Some people are addicted to sex, some to caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate, pop drinks), some are workaholics, while many young people to video games and the internet.
It is written in James 4:6-10 "Yahuah resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to Yahuah. RESIST THE DEVIL, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to Yahuah, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of Yahuah, and he shall lift you up."
Revelation 22:14-15 "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie."
In 2Chronicles 23:19 it reads, "And he set the porters at the gates of the House of Yahuah, that none which was unclean in anything should enter in." In the Books of Enoch it is the Messiah who is the gate keeper of the 7th Hall of the 7th Heaven where the presence of Yahuah and the Throne of Yahuah is. In John 10:9 the Messiah says, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." In John 15:10 it reads, "If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."
Where are we now today in the timeline of Biblical history? Satan has been kicked out of Heaven and is now on the Earth. That is why there is so much evil on the Earth. With Satan's presence there is an absence of peace and joy on the Earth. In Revelation 12:9,12,13,17, it reads: "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahuah, and have the testimony of Yahuahshua the Messiah."
Digital Technology Re-Programming our Minds:
Experts are now saying that the great exposure to Digital Technology is actually re-configuring or re-programming our brains. With the old fashioned reading of books we thought about and put the knowledge of what we read into long term memory. But with digital online reading we process things faster and scan for info. Most of this scanning puts the info into our short term memory for faster processing but results in very little retention of the info. Experiments have been done which noted how quickly our eyes and minds jump from one bit of info to another online but retain so little of it.
Satan is re-programming the Human Brain to suit his own ends using Digital Technology. Yahuah naturally setup our brains to function in the same way as a computer does. In a computer the RAM is the working short term memory. The HD (Hard Drive) stores the long term permanent memory. With the conditioning by Digital Technology almost all of the memory used is short term memory so very little is stored in long term memory. With Digital Technology we scan info and we jump from one bit of info to another, retaining very little info in long term memory. In essence we have become Zombies, brain washed and led by the nose at Satan's every whim.
The Mind of the New Generation works differently being exposed to High Tech. The New Generation are conditioned to function in this New High Tech environment from birth. Consequently they can multitask say 7 things at once as compared to the older Generation which can say multitask 3 things at a time.The New Generation brain is wired differently from constant conditioning and exposure to the Beast System environment.
Originally our brains were conditioned for the Natural World and the Natural Creation of Yahuah. That is why the older Generation has such problems adjusting to the New Technology. The Minds of the young is like a blank sheet ready to be programmed. Satan has taken advantage by conditioning the young by programming their minds for the Digital World, the Artificial World of Satan.
Satan constantly on the Attack to wear down the Saints:
Thanks to Satan's deception and manipulation through convenience living, Man's immune system is shot to hell with processed foods, junk food, high salt and high sugar intake, inactivity from watching too much T.V., sitting in front of a computer screen for hours at a time, etc. The social structure is broken down. People are engorged with the hoarding of materialistic stuff. The poor, sick, elderly and homeless are neglected even within one's own family. The compassion is gone, so is the joy and peace of wholesome Family and Community Living. Satan has crippled us, subdued us and enslaved us to worship him.
In the cities Man is totally reliant on Satan for his sustenance. When Man lived on the Farm he was reliant on Yahuah his Creator for his bounty and well-being.
RFID Chip infiltrates the Private Life of the Individual:
One of the World's largest Department Store and Grocery Store chains is pressuring it's suppliers to provide RFID Chips in their products. The power this will provide is phenomenal. This will provide an inside employee the ability to walk down a store isle and with a scanner remotely know exactly how many of any one item is in stock. This would be inventory heaven, but also the reality of the presence of the Beast System.
There is also talk that these RFID chips could be put into clothing that would remain embedded while the customer wears it. This would give the store the power to track a customer in the store, to track a customer's buying and shopping habits.
There is a grander plan to use RFID chips. RFID chips are remotely trackable. Mixed with GPS (Global Positioning System by satellite), the movements and activities of the individual can be tracked and recorded wherever the person goes or does, all in the name of security. If you have any RFID chips on your person or in your wallet, then BIG BROTHER is watching you!!!

Bizarre Disasters are happening all over the world like the snow blizzards in New Zealand, sludge disaster in Hungary, mud slides, floods, forest fires, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, bed bug epidemic, Superbug outbreak, etc. Could these disasters be caused by the 2 Witnesses?
The Feast Days related to the Messiah's 1st and 2nd Coming:
Since the Messiah is returning soon, we should get a sense of the meaning of the Feast Days that relate directly to the Messiah's 1st and 2nd Coming:
A) Spring Feast Days and the Mesiah's 1st Coming:
The Spring Feasts related to the Messiah's 1st Coming:
1) Feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Pentecost.
2) 3 High Sabbaths.
3) 1st 6 Months of the Year = 26 Weeks.
4) Related to the Messiah's present name of Yahuahshua = Salvation of Yahuah.
5) The Messiah as the Lamb of Yahuah.
6) the 1st Adam = Fleshly.
7) 1st 6 Months = 1st 6 Days of creation; Adam created on the 6th Day of the Week; Adam died within the 6th Day because Adam lived to be almost 1000 Years old where 1 Day with Yahuah is as 1000 Years. From Adam to the Messiah's 2nd Coming = 6 Days = 6000 Years.
B) Fall Feast Days and the Messiah's 2nd Coming:
The Fall Feasts related to the Messiah's 2nd Coming:
1) Feast Days of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Tabernacles, and the Last Great Day.
2) 4 High Sabbaths.
3) 7th Month as the 7th Day of the Week is like a Sabbath Month and indicates completion.
4) Start of 2nd 6 Months of the Year = 26 Weeks.
5) Related to the Messiah's future name of Yahuahtsadaq = Righteousness of Yahuah.
6) The Messiah as the Righteousness of Yahuah.
7) The Last and 2nd Adam (the Messiah) = Spiritual.
8) The 7th Month represents the 7th Day of the Week, a Sabbath.
9) The Messiah will usher in the 7th Millennium with his 2nd Coming after a 6 Month = 26 Weeks cleanup of this polluted Earth.
C) Conclusion: Combining the Spring and Fall Feasts:
The Spring and Fall Feasts represent the Beginning and the End, the 1st and the Last, the 1st and 2nd Coming of the Messiah:
1) Spring Feasts = 3 High Sabbaths, Fall Feasts = 4 High Sabbaths, where 3 + 4 = 7 High Sabbaths.
2) The Number 7 is a number of Completion and always relates to the Messiah.
3) 1st 6 Months represents the 1st 6 Days of the Week while the 7th Month represents the 7th Day of the Week, the Sabbath Day.
4) Both of the Messiah's 2 Names each have 7 Hebrew Letters. Present Name of Yahuahshua = 3 Letters (Shua = Salvation) + 4 Letters (Yahuah = Father's Name). Future Name of Yahuahtsadaq = 3 Letters (Tsadaq = Righteousness) + 4 Letters (Yahuah = Father's Name).
5) 1st Adam = Fleshly, 2nd Adam = Spiritual.
6) Father's Name of Yahuah = 26 (Numerical value of the 4 Hebrew Letters of his Name). 1st 6 Months = 26 Weeks. Messiah's 1st Name carries Father's Name = 26. 2nd 6 Months = 26 Weeks. Messiah's 2nd Name carries Father's Name = 26. Full Year = 6 Months + 6 Months = 26 Weeks + 26 Weeks = 52 Weeks. The Messiah's 2 Names = has 26 + 26 = 52. 1 complete Year = 7 Days per Week x 52 Weeks = 364 Days. Sacred Calendar Year = 360 Days + 4 Intercalary Days = 364 Days.
More Perfect Numbers:
1) 5 x 18 = 90. 90 Days = 1 Season. Number 18 = Righteousness. 18th Day of the 1st Month = First Fruit Offering, the Sheaf Offering of the Barley = the Messiah. The Messiah rose from the dead at the start of Barley Harvest. 18th Day of 1st Month = middle of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the 4th Day of the 7 Day Feast. 18th Day of 7th Month = middle of the Feast of Tabernacles, the 4th Day of the 7 Day Feast.
2) In the Spring Feast Days if you add the number of the Day of the Feast Days together you get: Passover = 14th Day; 1st Day Unleavened Bread = 15th Day; Last Day of Unleavened Bread = 21st Day you get:
14 + 15 + 21 = 50! where 50 = Jubilee.
3) Numbers in the 2 Names of the Messiah: the numerical values of the Messiah's 2 names are:
Yahuahshua = 402.
Yahuahtsadaq = 220.
402 + 220 = 622 = (7 x 22) + (18 x 26) = 622!
Notice all the perfect numbers: 7= completion. 22 = completion. 18 = Righteousness.26 = the Father's Name of Yahuah. The numbers 7 and 22 always relate to the Messiah; as does 18; and 26 because the Messiah carries his Father's Name of Yahuah.
4) From the 1st Day of Creation to the Last Great Day = 26 Days! 22nd Day of the 7th Month is the 26th Day from the 1st Day of Creataion if you count the 1st 4 Days in the 1st Week of the 7th Month. The 1st and 7th Months are identical and are templates of each other so you can transfer the meanings of the similarity of these 2 Months. The Number 26 represents Yahuah the Father but also the Messiah who carries the fulness of his Father's Name of Yahuah in his two names of Yahuahshua and Yahuahtsadaq.
The Fall Feast Days = 22 Days. From the 1st Day of the Week to the Feast of Trumpets on the 5th Day of the Week = 4 Days. The 1st and 7th Months are templates of each other and are identical. The 1st Month begins 4 Days after the 1st Day of Creation. Similarly we can add the 4 Days before the start of the 7th Month which is synonymous to the 1st Month. The Spring Feasts are not complete but the Fall Feasts are perfectly complete. From the 1st Day of the Week (Sunday) to the 1st Day of the 7th Month = 4 Days. Then from the 1st Day of the 7th Month to the Last Great Day of the 7th Month = 22 Days. Therefore 4 Days + 22 Days = 26 Days!
5) 22 + 26 + 22 = 70. The Children of Israel were in captivity in Babylon for 70 Years. From the 1st Day of Creation to the Feast of Pentecost is 70 Days. From the 1st Day of Creation to the 18th Day of the 1st Month is 22 Days. The 18th Day of the 1st Month is the First Fruit Offering of the Barley and the start of Barley Harvest. The Messiah rose from the dead the Day before and became the perfect Offering. Next 26 Days = Barley Harvest. Then Last 22 Days = Wheat Harvest. In the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, the Messiah uses Wheat Harvest to represent the End of the World System and the start of Yahuah's Kingdom on Earth.
6) Only 4 Months on the Sacred Calendar have the 26th Day of the Month on the 4th Day of the Week: the 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th Months. 2 + 5 + 8 + 11 = 26. Importance of the 4th of a 7 is always linked to the Messiah. Messiah was crucified on the 4th Day of the Week. In the Messiah's 2 Names it is the 4th Letter of the 7 Letters that makes it unique and powerful carrying the 4th Letter of Yahuah the Father's Name = 26. On the 7 Lamp Menorah it is the 4th Lamp that feeds the other 6 Lamps. The Sun was created on the 4th Day of the Week which is essential for life. Grain Harvest began on the 18th Day of the 1st Month which is the 4th Day of the 7 Day Feast of Unleavened Bread. On the 18th Day of the 1st Month was the Sheaf Offering of the Barley (First Fruit Offering = the Messiah's perfect sacrifice) just after the Messiah rose from the dead.
Subliminal Programming: SSSS Technology:
(Ref. April 23, 2010 by Gary Rea)
Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS) and the All-Digital TV Broadcast Signal: Connection?
The Department of Defense calls it Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS), and it also goes by the name of S-quad or Squad. In the private sector, the technology goes by the name of Silent Subliminal Presentation System and the technology has also been released to certain corporate vendors who have attached catchy brand names like BrainSpeak Silent Subliminals to their own SSSS-based products.
Whatever you call it, SSSS is a technology that uses subliminal programming that is carried over Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) broadcast waves, planting inaudible messages directly into the subconscious human mind.
Perfected more than twenty years ago by the Department of Defense and battlefield-tested upon unwitting Iraqi soldiers serving in the army of Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War during 1991, SSSS is a sinister weapon that may have been developed for a specific mission: the total subjugation of the American people.
Whether SSSS is coupled with the new all-digital TV signal as its means of delivery into the minds of an unsuspecting U.S. populace or not, it can be deployed by many different devices, including HAARP and GWEN towers, which would effectively blanket the entire nation at once. In fact, Judy Wall says that "there is evidence that the U.S. Government has plans to extend the range of this technology to envelop all peoples, all countries. This can be accomplished, is being accomplished, by utilising the nearly completed HAARP project for overseas areas and the GWEN network now in place in the U.S. The U.S. Government denies all this."
But the most insidious aspect of SSSS is that it is completely undetectable by those being targeted. Because it delivers its subliminal programming directly to the human brain via the auditory sense at frequencies that humans are incapable of perceiving as sound, there is no defense against it. Everyone on the planet is equally susceptible to mind control via SSSS and there isn't any escape from it, as the UHF waves can be transmitted over very long distances from remotely located sources and will pass through walls and other objects as if they are not there. UHF is the frequency (100mhz) that has been used for television and radio broadcasting for as long as these media have existed. SSSS is designed to utilize UHF as a carrier wave.
Even more insidious, though, is the fact that, coupled with the use of supercomputers, an individual's unique electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns can be digitally altered and then stored for rebroadcast via digital UHF. According to Judy Wall, editor and publisher of Resonance, the newsletter of the Bioelectromagnetics Special Interest Group, these computer-enhanced EEG's "can identify and isolate the brain's low-amplitude 'emotion signature clusters,' synthesise them and store them on another computer. In other words, by studying the subtle characteristic brainwave patterns that occur when a subject experiences a particular emotion, scientists have been able to identify the concomitant brainwave pattern and can now duplicate it." These modified emotion signature clusters can then be broadcast over UHF carrier frequencies (i.e., regular TV and radio signals) directly into the brain where they can then "silently trigger the same basic emotion in another human being." In other words, if the emotional signature cluster for, say, a feeling of hopelessness and despair is being fed directly into your brain via unseen radio waves, you will feel those emotions. The implications of this are, quite literally, mind boggling.
Day of Atonement is the Gateway into the Kingdom of Heaven:
It will be on the Day of Atonement when the Messiah will judge the world. Then the Messiah will separate the sheep from the goats.
The Messiah is the way, the truth and the life, and no man comes unto Yahuah the Father but by him. The Messiah has broken down the middle wall of partition which separated us from Yahuah. It was the High Priest who went into the Holy of Holies once in the Year on the Day of Atonement. The Messiah is our High Priest after the order of Melech Tsadaq = King of Righteousness through whom we can enter into the Holy of Holies directly into the presence of Yahuah the Father and into the Kingdom of Heaven.
The Messiah said in John 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."
In Hebrews 6:19-20 we read, "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which enters into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Yahuahshua, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchi Tsadaq."
Again in Hebrews 10:19-21, "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Yahuahshua, By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of Yahuah."
Note: In 2012 the Fall Equinox will line-up with the Day of Atonement on the 10th Day of the 7th Month on September 22, 2012 at 16 Hours 50 Minutes Jerusalem Time on the Sabbath Day, the 7th Day of the Week.
The Day of Atonementis figuratively speaking the "Eye of the Needle." In actuality the "Eye of the Needle" was a small door which was close to the Main Gate of the Walls of Jerusalem. So when the Main Gate was shut for security, the travellers had to use the small Gate or Door. But the small Gate was so small that travellers would have to unload their camels in order for their camels to crawl through the small opening. That is why the Messiah said in Matthew 19:24, "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Yahuah."
Yahuah is in the 7th Hall of the 7th Heaven. The Messiah is the Porter (the Gate Keeper) who allows or blocks all who try to enter into the presence of Yahuah. We can not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven and into the presence Yahuah the Father without going through the Messiah!!! Yahuahshua said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me."
The Temple of Yahuah represents Heaven and Earth. The Holy Place represents Earth and the Holy of Holies represents Heaven. It was only the High Priest that entered into the Holy of Holies once in the Year on the Day of Atonement and not without blood sacrifice. We too can enter into the Holy of Holies by our High Priest through Yahuahshua who is our Passover Lamb who shed his blood for us.
The Messiah said in Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter you in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it."
Major push to change from Magnetic Stripe to Microchip on Plastic Cards:
The Financial World is making a major push to switch from the magnetic stripe to the microchip. The new credit and bank debit cards are being re-introduced big time with the microchip. This microchip has a unique ID Number. Merchants all over the world are being forced to upgrade their card readers to accept the new microchip cards with the intention to totally eliminate the magnetic stripe altogether.
New Passports, National ID Cards and other forms of ID are also being fitted with embedded RFID chips that can be read from a distance.
This new technology is now in the fast lane paving the way for the Mark of the Beast. Cats, dogs, and farm animals are already microchiped. To implant the microchip in Man is next on Satan's agenda. The microchip will be inserted under the skin on the right hand or on the forehead of all human beings. So Satan's age old dream to control all Mankind is finally becoming a reality, fulfilling prophecy and scripture in these Last Days. The Mark of the Beast is at hand!
As Satan fufils his destiny, so come Yahuahtsadaq to fulfil yours. Come Yahuahtsadaq and take your legal place on the world stage to set up your Father Yahuah's Kingdom on Earth. That all men may know that they are but men and that you alone Yahuah rule the Heavens and the Earth.
Even so, come Yahuahtsadaq for the whole world groans for your coming!! The sooner the better!!!
December 25, 2010 falls on the 10th Day of the 10th Month in 2010:
An important date in 2010 is December 25, 2010 which will fall on the 10th Day of the 10th Month. The last time this happened was in 2004 when December 25, 2004 was on the 10th Day of the 10th Month. In 2004 the Tsunami that struck Indonesia on the next Day on December 26, 2004 killed more than 200,000 people.
The siege of Jerusalem for the destruction of the 1st Temple (Solomon's Temple) began on the 10th Day of the 10th Month.
The Number 10 = Judgment. The 10th Day of the 10th Month in the Bible was a Day of Judgment.
The 10th Day of the 10th Month is connected to the 10th Day of the 1st Month of each of the 4 seasons. The 1st Month of each of the 4 Seasons are all identical and are templates of each other on the Sacred Calendar. The 10th Day of the 1st Month of each of the 4 Seasons is always on a regular Sabbath Day.
At the Messiah's 1st Coming, the Messiah made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the 10th Day of the 1st Month sitting on the foal of an ass. This was prophesied in Zechariah 9:9 and the Messiah fulfilled it in Matthew 21:1-13.
The Messiah will return at his 2nd Coming on the Feast of Trumpets on the 1st Day of the 7th Month and descend from Heaven onto the the Mount of Olives. However, it will take the Messiah 10 Days to conquer the world. Then on the Day of Atonement on the 10th Day of the 7th Month the Messiah will enter into Jerusalem through the Golden Gate on the East side of Jerusalem. This East Gate has been sealed for about 3000 Years waiting for the Messiah's 2nd Coming as stated in Ezekiel 44:1-3. That is why this year when December 25, 2010 will be on the 10th Day of the 10th Month is so significant and is a reminder of the Messiah's soon 2nd Coming.
The Messiah will enter through the Golden Gate (the East Gate) on the Feast of Trumpets on the 1st Day of the 7th Month when he returns at his 2nd Coming. Again on the Day of Atonement on the 10th Day of the 7th Month when he has finished conquering the World he will sit down on the Ark of the Covenant on the Mercy Seat to Judge the World.
The Day of Atonement is the only Feast Day High Sabbath that is on the 7th Day of the Week on a regular Sabbath Day. The Feast of Trumpets is the only Feast Day High Sabbath that is on the 1st Day of the Month. According to Ezekiel 46:1-2 the gate of the inner court that looks toward the EAST shall be shut the 6 working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and on the 1st Day of Each New Month it shall be opened. And the Prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without.
The 10th Day of the 1st Month of each of the 4 Seasons relates to the Messiah's 1st and 2nd Coming:
1) Spring: On the 10th Day of the 1st Month: a) the Passover Lamb was chosen, b) the Messiah made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and c) the Children of Israel entered into the Promised Land when they crossed the Jordan River.
2) Summer: On the 10th Day of the 4th Month the City of Jerusalem was captured by the King of Babylon. The Siege of Jerusalem ended on the 9th Day of the 4th Month in 586 BCE. (2Kings 25:2-3; Jeremiah 39:2; Jeremiah 52:6-7).
3) Fall: On the 10th Day of the 7th Month is the Day of Atonement when the Messsiah will Judge the World. The Jubilee Year was also celebrated on the Day of Atonement.
Once Solomon completed the 1st Temple the priests placed the Ark into the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement (2Chronicles 5:7-14). The Glory of Yahuah filled the House of Yahuah. 120 Trumpeters sounded with the Trumpets. The Jubilee Year was celebrated on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 25:9-10). The captives were set free in the Jubilee Year on the Day of Atonement.
4) Winter: On the 10th Day of the 10th Month the siege of Jerusalem for the destruction of the 1st Temple began in 588 BCE.
The 1st Month of each of the 4 Seasons are identical on the Sacred Calendar. These are the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th Months. If you add the number of these months together you get: 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 = 22! Where the number 22 always refers to the Messiah and is a number of completion. So in these Last Days we can expect things connected to the Messiah to happen on the 10th Day of the 1st Month of Each of the 4 Seasons related to his 2nd Coming. The Number 10 is the number of Judgment. Yahuah will make his judgments known to Satan and Man during the Great Tribulation and with the Messiah's 2nd coming. The Messiah said in Matthew 24:20, "But pray you that your flight be not in the Winter, neither on the Sabbath Day." December 25, 2010 this year will be on the 10th Day of the 10th Month in Winter on the Sabbath Day!
Conclusion:
The increased exposure in the News and in the Media about Aliens and the Year 2012 indicates the presence of Satan and his fallen Angels on Earth now and the Finale soon to come. The increase in cataclysmic events in the weather, nature, and man made accidents on a large scale also indicates we are approaching a major climax in Human History. The introduction of chaos and fear is necessary to achieve major changes and the acceptance by man of the Beast System, especially the Mark of the Beast:Consequently the total control of the entire world by Satan and his fallen Angels. This must come to pass according to scripture before the Messiah's 2nd Coming.
Notice even how traditions like Halloween are spreading fear. TV shows are increasing violent content of death and fear. This is to numb the people to the death, pain, and suffering of others. We are being conditioned without even noticing it.
At the same time our resistance to disease is being knocked down with poor nutrition, and the pollution of our air, water, and food. Our immune systems are being weakened. The fast pace of modern living is burning us out. Lack of sleep, lack of excercise, the destruction of the Family Unit, and the demoralizing and the putting down of our religious values are all having a devastating affect on our minds and bodies. The peace and joy is gone, replaced by fear and uncertainty.
Wake up, sound the trumpet, in my most Holy Mountain! The time is at hand. Repent of the evil. Be prepared to meet your Maker. For the Kingdom of Yahuah is at hand with the soon return of Yahuahtsadaq the King of Kings.
The Messiah said in John 16:33, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Again in Isaiah 26:3 we read, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you."
Satan wants to control and dominate the whole world so he can be worshiped by all of Mankind. Now in these Last Days as his time is quickly running out he is achieving just that through technology.
On the surface it may seem like there is not much happening in the world. However, the evil undercurrents tell the true tale. Things are waxing worse and worse. How do we know that we are in the Last Days and in the Great Tribulation? Because the Tares and the Wheat are white for the Harvest. The Tares are exceedingly evil and wicked, doing evil continually.
In John 8:24 the Messiah said, "I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins."
Satan is the Master Deceiver of All Time. Satan is re-programming the Mind of the whole Human Race using Digital Technology. The most affected are the new young Generation who have been immersed into this New High Tech Digital Technology from Birth. People no longer talk to each other, they text each other, sometimes even when in the same room!
Satan has had 6000 Years to prepare for his grand exit via the glamour and enticement of High Tech wizardry to deceive and conquer the world before he is chained up in the bottomless pit for 1000 Years. Satan has mesmerized the whole world with his electronic gadgets by seducing and addicting the people to willingly accept his mind control. As believers we have to fight back with the Word of Yahuah and by putting on our Spiritual Armour. As it is written, "Resist the Devil and he will flee from you."
The 2010 Fall Feast Days could be the last Fall Feast Days we celebrate if indeed the Messiah returns in the Fall of 2011. The time is close, even at the very doors. Look up and rejoice for the time is at hand!
So come Yahuahshua for we long for your return. We long for your Father's Kingdom and your rule for 1000 Years on this Earth! Blessed be thou Yahuah for yours is the Kingdom of Heaven and Earth! Great is Yahuah and greatly to be praised! HalleluYAH! HalleluYAH YAHUAH abinu!

130.0) 4th Seal of Revelation now Open and the Pale Horse is Riding:
Introduction:
Today is May 22, 2011 the 7th Day of the 3rd Month on the Feast of Pentecost at the End of Wheat Harvest. The World Economy continues to weaken. Gold is over $1500 U.S. per Ounce and Oil is over $100 U.S. per barrel. Analysts are predicting that when Oil is over $150 U.S. per barrel the World Economy will be seriously affected and that could be this Summer in 2011.
The 4th Seal of Revelation 6:7-8 is now Open. The Pale Horse is now riding. The Massive Earthquake in Japan that spawned a destructive Tsunami and the spreading Arab Uprising in the Middle East and in North Africa are just two indicators that the 4th Seal is open.
The countdown has begun! Whether the Messiah comes this Feast of Trumpets on September 15, 2011 or later, time will tell. One thing is for sure, the stage is set, the characters are on the stage, and the play has begun. The technology is now in place for the Mark of the Beast. When it comes it will come suddenly and without warning even though the signs are all around us!
Believers have experienced personal attacks by Satan since 2008 which has intensified and has increased ever since. 2008 is when Satan's presence was truly felt. Satan has been kicked out of Heaven and is on the earth for the full 3 1/2 Years Great Tribulation. It is possible that our understanding of the Messiah's return could be out by 1 Year or even more.
In Fall 2012 the Day of Atonement will line up with the Fall Equinox on Sabbath (Saturday) September 22, 2012. Notice the perfect numbers even on the Roman Calendar where September is the old 7th Month + 22nd Day = 7 + 22 which are the perfect numbers that represent the Messiah!! On the Sacred Calendar the Day of Atonement is on the 10th Day of the 7th Month = 10 (Judgment) + 7 (Completion). Regardless of when the Messiah will return, everything in the news indicates that the time for his return is soon and it is at the very doors!
Unusual disasters like Flooding in Queensland, Australia; 1000's of birds falling down deadout of the sky in Arkansas, Sweden, and in Italy; fish dying in the rivers; etc. are all signs that the plagues are upon us.
Man is destroying Nature and Nature is fighting back. Even natural disasters are increasing in number and intensity. A good example are the crippling snow storms this Winter in Europe when heavy snow storms hit Europe which caused 1000's of flight cancellations and disruptions worldwide.
Do not get discouraged because of the evil that must come to pass, which is but for a short time. Take courage in Yahuah. Take hold on Eternal Life. Seek Yahuah with all your heart. Keep His commandments and rejoice in your Creator.
4th Seal of Revelation Now Open and 5th Seal to Open Soon:
The 4th Seal of Revelation 6:7-8 is now open. The 3rd Seal has been open since the price of food spiked in 2007. The 5th Seal has not occurred yet which is the martyrdom of the Believers but is coming up fast. Right now we are beginning to see the persecution of the Righteous around the world. In recent times there has been an escalation of attacks on Christians in Non-Christian countries where they are a minority. Now with the 4th Seal open, we are seeing the unrest and violence in places like the Middle East and North Africa where the Arab Uprising is having a dominos affect on many countries.
2012 and Daniel's interpretation of the Handwriting on the Wall:
In Daniel 5:1-31 the hand writing on the wall was, "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN." This was Daniel's interpretation:
MENE = Yahuah has numbered your Kingdom, and finished it.
TEKEL = You are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
PERES = Your Kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Note: Mene (Mina) = 50 Shekels. There are two Mina weighed against each other in this prophecy where 50 + 50 = 100 = 3 x 26 + 22. Notice the Perfect Numbers where 50 = a Jubilee, 22 = represents the Messiah, and 26 = represents Yahuah the Father.
In a Jubilee Year there are two Feast Days related to a 50th. The Feast of Pentecost (Feast of Weeks) is a 50th and is a Jubilee of Days (50th Day). The Day of Atonement is also related to a 50th and the Jubilee of Years (50th Year). The Jubilee Year is celebrated on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 25:8-13) in the 50th Year. Pentecost is the End of Wheat Harvest in every Sacred Calendar Year. The Day of Atonement will be the Day of Judgment and the End of the World (System) at the time of the Messiah's 2nd Coming.
So the Day of Pentecost (50th) is weighed against the Day of Atonement (50th) in a Year of Jubilee, especially the year when the Messiah will return. Right now, our understanding is that the Year 2011 is the 6000th Year from Adam. However, it is possible that we could be out by 1 Year, which would make 2012 the 6000th Year from Adam. Note: 6000 Years divided by 50 = 120 x 50 Years. The Fall Feast Days have never been fulfilled but will be when the Messiah returns at his 2nd Coming. We know from Scripture that the Messiah will return on the Feast of Trumpets and he will Judge the World on the Day of Atonement.
Notice the Perfect Numbers related between the Day of Pentecost and the Day of Atonement. From the Day of Pentecost to the Day of Atonement is exactly 18 Weeks (counting the 2 Intercalary Days). 18 Weeks = 18 Weeks x 7 Days per Week = 126 Days = 4 x 26 + 22! Where 18 = Righteousness, 7 and 22 represent the Messiah Yahuahshua, and 26 represents Yahuah the Father.
In 2012 there is a special event on the Sacred Calendar. In 2012 the Day of Atonement will line up with the Fall Equinox on Sabbath (Saturday) September 22, 2012. This could suggest the year that the Messiah will return.
This Prophecy in Daniel is symbolic of the Scales of Justice with the idea of good being weighed against evil, the Righteous versus the Wicked, the Wheat and the Tares. In the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares in Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 the Wheat Harvest is compared to the End of the World.
If the Messiah does not come in 2011 then he could come in 2012. Whenever he comes it is soon! The Day of the Messiah's return is at hand and he will not tarry. Even so come Yahuahshua, the sooner the better.

This indicates a Creator rather than evolution.
16) January 28, 2011: Egypt - In Cairo, street riots could topple the government. Egypt is the corner stone for the Peace process in the Middle East. It could also be the start for the unravelling of it too.

28) February 23, 2011: Price of Oil hits $100 U.S. per barrel, the 1st time since 2008. This is a direct result of the civil unrest in the Middle East and in North Africa, especially in Libya which is an oil producing country.
29) February 23, 2011: Gold at $1414 U.S. per Ounce.
30) February 23, 2011: Technology - On Coast to Coast Radio - talk of holographs and virtual situation capability by the Military. This rings like the events to take place in our time, prophesied in the Book of Revelation with respect to the 1st and 2nd Beast having powers and the ability to perform miracles.
31) March 2, 2011: Middle East - The Arab Uprising is a major event happening in the Middle East and in North Africa that is affecting the whole world. The price of oil has spiked due to the conflict in Libya. The uprising in Libya is leading to civil war. There are already about 1 Million stranded foreign workersin Libya waiting for a way to get home (mostly Egyptian workers). The price of Oil is now over $100 U.S. per barrel and Gold is over $1430 U.S. per ounce. Price of food is also sharply rising caused by the high cost of transportation and due to poor harvests all over the world.
32) March 11, 2011: Japan - 8.9 Earthquake hits near Japan followed by a massive Tsunami. Hundreds dead, thousands missing. Extensive damage. Largest earthquake to hit Japan in history. 7th largest Earthquake in recorded world history, 5th largest since 1900. As a result of this earthquake there was a Tsunami warning for Hawaii and even for as far as the West Coast of the U.S.A..
33) March 13, 2011: Japan - Japan Earthquake upgraded to 9.0. Millions without electricity and water. Food running out. Two Nuclear Reactors could suffer meltdown. New threat of Volcanic eruptions add to the misery of the people of Japan.

36) April 20, 2011: Gold = $1506 U.S. per Ounce, Silver = $45.23 U.S. per Ounce, and Oil = $111 U.S. per Barrel. These are strong indicators: how weak our currency is; how inflation is eating away at our meagre financial resources; how quickly the cost of living is rising; and how fearful people are about their living standards and are investing in commodities and have lost confidence in paper money.
37) April 26, 2011: Middle East - Hamas in Gaza and Fatah in the West Bank have agreed in principle to rejoin and to present a united Palestinian front. This is another sign that a solution with Israel may be close.
38) May 1, 2011: United Nations - United Nations proposing to pass a law on blashphemy? Why now? Believers would be directly impacted by this law. Using the Messiah's two true names would be in the eyes of some as blasphemous because both of the Messiah's names carry the Father's full 4 Letter Hebrew name of Yahuah. Once passed this law would correspond to the opening of the 5th Seal of Revelation 6:9-11 which is the martyrdom of the Saints of Yahuah.
39) May 2, 2011: Pakistan - Osama Bin Laden killed by American Special Forces in a Mansion in Pakistan.
40) May 3, 2011: New Zealand - Tornado touches down in New Zealand.

43) May 1-18, 2011: Canada - Severe Flooding in Manitoba and the Maritimes. The Army called out to help.
44) May 8-18, 2011: U.S.A. - Severe Flooding all along the Mississippi River affecting 4 or more States. Worst flooding of the Mississippi River since the 1930's. The flood waters are again threatening New Orleans in the coming days.
45) May 19, 2011: U.S.A.-U.S. President Obama gave a speech on the Middle East. For a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Problem he suggested a Two State Solution going back to 1967 borders. This speech along with Hamas and Fatah starting to reunite to form a common Palestinian front in conjunction with the Arab Uprising in the region suggests something big is about to happen in the Middle East!
46) May 20, 2011: Financial - Gold = $1508 U.S. per Ounce, while Oil = $100 U.S. per Barrel.
47) May 21, 2011: Religion - In the U.S.A. a preacher proclaimed the Rapture would take place today warning of Judgment and Believers taken up into Heaven. This did not happen. However, this is just another indicator that we are close to the Messiah's return as there will be false prophets and false Messiah's just before his 2nd Coming.
48) May 22, 2011: Iceland - Volcanic eruptions in Iceland cause Flight Cancellations. Plumes of ash headed to Scotland, England, and other parts of Europe.
The Arab Uprising:
The Arab Uprising is engulfing the whole Middle East and North Africa. The Arab political landscape has changed big time. This change is finally enabling the thorny issue of the Palestinian Problem and the question of Jerusalem to be settled once and for all. Israel is under increasing pressure to cave in to Palestinian demands.
Nuclear Crisis:
First came the Financial Crisis in 2007. Then came the Food Crisis with food shortages caused by drought and flooding in different parts of the world along with the high cost of oil. Natural Disasters are ever increasing the fear and anxiety of Man worldwide. "Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken (Luke 21:26)".
Now comes the Nuclear Crisis brought on by one of the worst 9.0 Earthquakes in History and the Tsunami which followed both devastating Japan. Four Nuclear Power Reactors have been damaged in Japan causing explosions, partial meltdown, and radiation leakage which is affecting the whole world.
People are panicing all over the world for fear of radiation fallout. Many are scrambling to buy Potassium Iodide to counter radiation which could attack the thyroid gland. Many Nations are shutting down their Nuclear Plants and Upgrading others to alleviate the fear of the Masses.
All 4 Horses of Revelation 6:1-8 are now riding. We are witnessing the opening of the 4th Seal and the riding of the 4th Horse. "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon earth distress of Nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (Luke 21:25)."
More Perfect Numbers:
a) Perfect Numbers related to the Messiah's Crucifixion:
Messiah crucified at the 6th Hour = 12 Noon = 18th Hour of the 24 Hour Day where 18 = Righteousness.
Messiah died at the 9th Hour = 3 PM = 21st Hour of the 24 Hour Day where 18 Hours + 21 Hours = 39 Hours. The Messiah was on the torture stake for 3 Hours between the 18th and 21st Hour before he died. We are healed by the stripes of the Messiah (1Peter 2:24). By law the person received 40 less 1 = 39 Stripes (Deuteronomy 25:3). The Apostle Paul was also beaten by 40 less 1 stripes (2Corinthians 11:24).
18th Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet = Tsaddi = Righteousness.
21st Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet = Shin = Salvation.
The Messiah's Name at his 1st Coming and his Present Name = Yahuah SHUA = SALVATION of Yahuah.
The Messiah's Name at his 2nd Coming and his Future Name = Yahuah TSADAQ = RIGHTEOUSNESS of Yahuah.
Satan's Electronic and Virtual World:
The New World Order, the Beast System, and Satan's Kingdom are all one and the same. Satan has used Electronics to create his modern virtual world. You can not succeed in this New World Order financially unless you are hard wired to it electronically. GPS (Global Positioning System) is being integrated into cell phones, cars, trucks, airplanes, boats, and anything else that moves for tracking purposes. Identification and tracking is being used as a very big part of this New World Order to control the Masses by Satan. Satan is the King and Supreme Leader of this New World Order and he makes no bones about it. When Satan tempted the Messiah after the Messiah fasted for 40 Days, Satan said in Matthew 4:8 "Again, the devil takes him up into an exceeding high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And says unto him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me." If you read Revelation 12:3 and Revelation 13:1-2 you will see that it is Satan that gives his power to the 1st Beast. Satan works behind the scene and gives his power to the Beast to establish the Beast System.
We are experiencing electronic harassment more and more. This harassment is invisible to the naked eye but deadly to those targeted and is used to punish, supress, and to bring in line those that oppose Satan's Rule.
Satan is herding the Masses to go in the direction he has planned proding the people using electronic harassement. Satan wants the whole world to worship him. He is achieving this using electronics in every form to control the mind, body, and spirit of Man. Like cattle we are tracked, herded, and manipulated to do Satan's bidding at his every whim.
Satan is attacking and controlling Man through Technology. That is why Satan seems to be invisible to us. But make no mistake about it, Satan only temporarily controls the World until the Messiah will return at his 2nd Coming.
The Magnetic Pole Reversal of the Earth:
The earth is in the process of Magnetic Pole Reversal which is accelerating. Scientists are linking this to the iron core of the earth. In reality in the centre of the earth is the House and Kingdom of Yahuah (Philippians 2:10). If indeed this reversal is being caused from the centre of the earth then it is Yahuah that is causing it. This shift is a sign to Man of the soon Judgment of Yahuah upon the Earth from Yahuah.
When the magnetic field is strong then the magnetic lines run through the centre of the earth coming out at the two poles and form a shield in the shape of a donut around the outside of the earth. However, when the poles shift, these magnetic lines break up forming many small separate pockets of magnetic fields all over the earth. Broken up, the magnetic fields are no longer effective to protect the earth from the harmful rays of the Sun. We can expect a scorching of the earth's surface by the Sun. The powerful solar radiation will also knock out satellites, disrupt electric power grids and computer systems.
These disruptions in the magnetic field are affecting all living things including the human mind. We are witnessing civil unrest all over the world. Man made and natural navigation systems are being disrupted. Honey bees and birds use the magnetic pole for a reference point which is changing. Airports are recalibrating their navigation instruments. GPS (Global Positioning System) is being severely affected which is now in cars, cell phones, airplanes, etc.
Beast System of Revelation 13 up and running:
The structure of the Beast System is now in place. In no other time in human history has the Mark of the Beast ever been possible as it is today. However, the fine tuning and the actual Mark of the Beast System is yet to come. The modern wonders and miracles of High Technology make the Beast System possible through computers, GPS, RFID Chips, surveillance cameras, cell phones, and biometric identification systems such as electronic finger printing, Iris scan, facial recognition, DNA, etc..
We are blinded by the artificial technology which is so part of our daily lives. We are getting further and further away from Yahuah's natural creation. We are constantly monitored, tracked, and manipulated by a world of High Tech. We are at the 10 Toes of Daniel 2:31-45 which are partly iron and partly clay. The iron of the 10 Toes is very strong but the mixed clay is very vulnerable, and so is the modern computer chip. Our whole modern world is running on these very powerful chips. However, these chips are very fragile. Solar radiation from the Sun or heaven forbid a terrorist attack with the use of an EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) bomb can wipe out the computer systems of entire cities or even countries. The disruption of our computer systems will affect our whole way of life.
1) Image of the Beast is any electronic device with a digital screen. It can be a T.V., Computer Monitor, Cell Phone, or any other device with a digital screen. All these electronic devices produce flicker that has a hypnotic effect and can deliver subliminal messages without the user even knowing. These devices all have a unique ID Number that links the device directly to a specific home or individual. Hence a subliminal message(s) can be targeted at a specific person or to the masses all at once.
Note: Alternating Current produces flicker that can be used to hypnotize. This effect could be easily seen in early street lights. That is why the frequency was changed to 60MHZ so the flicker would still be there for the subconscious to pick up but not noticeable by the human conscious mind.
In scripture it talks about the danger of worshipping the Image of the Beast. Is it OK to have limited use to get info such as News, Weather, etc.? Information content is so intermixed with junk that it is difficult to separate out the good from the bad. It is so easy to get addicted to image watching. People use it as a drug to numb their minds from the pain and stress of real life. Use at your own risk!!!
Digital signals are directable and trackable to and from individual electronic devices. That was the importance of passing the Law in the U.S. in June 2009 to ban all analog broadcasting in favour of total Digital Communications Broadcasting.
2) Number of the Beast is incorporated into every aspect of our modern world. Most microchips embedded into Passports, Credit Cards, Bank Cards, and other forms of personal identification usually consists of only a single unique ID Number that links the number to an Individual and to his/her personal file. The number is used for identification, security and control by the system.
3) Name of the Beast is present in the form of the Name of the Government, Financial Institution, or other Organization that enables individuals to enjoy benefits, privileges, and rights through their organization.
4) Mark of the Beast is the last and most dangerous aspect of the Beast System which is not yet present. The Mark of the Beast will be a mark put on the hand or forehead of the individual in the form of a microchip or bar code tattoo. This Mark will give the individual the power to buy and sell in the Beast System. It will also give the individual the ability to move freely within the Beast System. Satan will use the Mark of the Beast to enslave and control his subjects all in the name of easy living and so called security.
Nourishing the Holy Spirit of Yahuah that dwells within us:
Satan is not interested in the individual soul. He is interested in ousting the Holy Spirit of Yahuah that is in the individual. Once the Holy Spirit leaves the person then Satan has the power to control that person at his whim. In other words, another human soul on the trash heap and Satan wins. But we are not ones to allow Satan to defeat us. For Great is Yahuah who dwells within us by His Holy Spirit! So we have to do everything in our power to nourish and take care of Yahuah's Holy Spirit that dwells within us.
Remember, it is not you that Satan is attacking. Satan is attacking the Messiah who dwells in you. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Satan is making war with the Saints of Yahuah who keep Yahuah's commandments and who have the testimony of Yahuahshua the Messiah.
Conclusion:
We are now at the end of Wheat Harvest. We can now identify the matured Wheat and Tares by their fruit or lack of fruit. Satan's presence is palpable in theseLast Days by the evil that is so prevalent in the world today. The Children of Righteousness will do that which is righteous. The Children of wickedness will do wickedly. So don't fret yourself because of the ever increasing evil. It must come to pass. But trust in Yahuah and be prepared for the soon return of the Messiah. Don't be overcome of evil but overcome evil with good.
In the Parable of the Sower and the Seed in Matthew 13:3-8,18-23: the Messiah said 1) some seed fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up;2) some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth, and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth, and when the sun was up, they were scorched, and because they had no root, they withered away; 3) And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up, and choked them; 4) But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
Hear you therefore the Parable of the Sower: 1) When any one hears the Word of the Kingdom, and understands not, then comes the wicked and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 2) But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the Word, and anon with joy receives it. Yet has he not root in himself, but endures for a while, for when TRIBULATION or persecution arises because of the Word, by and by he is offended. 3) He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the Word, and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the Word, and he becomes unfruitful. 4) But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the Word, and understands it, which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
In the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares in Matthew 13:24-30, the Messiah explains how it is the enemy (Satan) that sowed the Tares among the Wheat. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the Tares also. The Master said, Let both grow together until the Harvest, and in the time of Harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather you together first the Tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gaher the Wheat into my barn.
The Messiah declared the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares in Matthew 13:36-43 to his disciples in private: He that sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, the good seed are the children of the Kingdom, but the Tares are the children of the wicked. The enemy that sowed them is the devil. The Harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the Angels. As therefore the Tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of Man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his Kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the Righteous shine forth as the Sun in the Kingdom of their Father.
We are all in these Parables. Question is, are we the Wheat or the Tares? We are all struggling internally and externally until the time of refreshing comes when we will be born again from above. Satan will do everything in his power to discourage and destroy us. Be of good comfort for the Messiah has overcome the world. We too can overcome with Yahuah's help, through His beloved Son, by His Holy Spirit and by His Word.
As believers, we have taken a lot of crap from Satan. Now it is time to fight back with the Word of Yahuah. Time to join ranks with the Spiritual Army of Yahuah. So put on the whole spiritual armour of Yahuah (Romans 13:12; 2Corinthians 6:7; Ephesians 6:11-17).
The best defence is a good offence. Do not be overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
We are now feeling the birth pains because we are soon coming to the birth!!
Satan has deceived Mankind by the power of deception through addictions such as video games, T.V., alcohol, drugs, caffeine, nicotine, gambling, virtual reality, etc. Through these compulsive behaviours Satan has dumbed down Man and has kept him away from his true Creator and Saviour. Satan is keeping Man from observing the Laws and Commandments of Yahuah thereby preventing Man from obtaining Eternal Life.
In Revelation 2:1-29; 3:1-22 the promises will be given to those who overcome. Overcome what? Overcome the World and the deadly addictions that are swallowing up Man. The Messiah has shown us by example how to overcome the world. The Messiah said in John 15:10, "If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."
Satan only seeks to destroy. Satan wants to conquer the whole world at any price and does not care for human life.
The Messiah came to save, that we may have life and have life more abundantly.
So lift up those feeble hands that hang down and rejoice for your King comes. He comes with power and with an Army of Angels to take back control of this earth. That the earth may again enjoy her Sabbaths and rejoice before her Maker.
We are no longer on the defensive, now we are in the attack mode, fighting the good fight with love, joy and peace!!!
Always rejoice in Yahuah, especially in all our tribulations, no matter whatever Satan throws at us. We are not alone. We have the whole Army of Yahuah backing us up!
RIGHT IS MIGHT !!!!
INDEX OF TOPICS:
131.0) 10 Toes of Daniels's Prophecy is the Digital Age of Today:
Introduction:
Today is January 9, 2012 the 26th Day of the 10th Month. Most people will agree that we are now in the Digital Age. We used to be able to get Analog Signals for the T.V. using rabbit ear antennae. All you would get now is snow on the T.V. screen if your T.V. is not digital. In June 2009 the U.S.A. passed a law making all broadcasting signals digital. Canada followed suit by passing the same law on September 1, 2011. Analog Signals are extinct. Welcome to the Digital Age!! Computers, cell phones, and most electronic devices are digital. Now how does this tie in with scripture and prophecy?
There is a scripture in the Book of Daniel for the Last Days and the 2nd Coming of the Messiah. In Daniel 2:31-40:41-45 the 10 Toes will be at theEnd of the Age and the stone that smites them will be the Messiah at his 2nd Coming.
If you check the meaning of the word "DIGIT" in a good English Dictionary you will find that it refers to the NUMBER 10 and fingers and TOES!!! Hence the connection between the 10 Toes of Daniel and the present dayDigital Age. In Daniel, the 10 Toes are also iron mixed with clay. This is the only time in History that the computer semi-conductor chipwas possible. These computer chips are a mix of iron and clay!!! Today, electronic devices have a semi-conductor chip which is the brain of the device. Although very powerful processors, these chips are extremely vulnerable and fragile to electro-magnetic-pulse.
Our whole modern world is now run using computers. These computers control financial, governmental, industrial, and commercial systems. We get our food, heat, water, and every other distribution of these necessities through computer controlled systems. EMP (electro-magnetic-pulse) caused by a nuclear blast or a solar wind from the sun can wipe out satellites, and every computer device on the planet earth. Due to our dependency on these digital devices our whole way of life is vulnerable and fragile as are the 10 Toes of Daniel's prophecy.
Note:Article 27.0) on this web page has been updated to include the Dates for the Feast Days from 2012 to 2016.
Walking down Memory Lane:
Let's take a walk down memory lane. Remember that cartoon show the Jetsons years ago. The Jetsons was a window into the future. It showed a time in the future when we would conquer our environment. It was to be a time of electronic gadgets. People would be flying around in space cars and everyone would be in the space age having every conceivable convenience. It was to be a time of leisure and when we could be carefree and enjoy a form of paradise. This is the vision that Satan has now enticed us with the second time.
The first time Satan seduced Man was when he got Adam and Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit of the tree of good and evil. By obeying Satan instead of Yahuah Man was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Now here we go again. Satan has deceived Man again. Satan has promised us Paradise through Digital Technology, miracles and marvels in medicine, technology and science. Yes, again we are awe struck but at what price. We see the bait but not the hook! We have the conveniences but at what price. These new gadgets have GPS and are trackable. We are paying the price with our freedom, with our health and with our happiness.
Satan has neglected to tell us to read the fine print. He failed to inform us that there are consequences for these luxuries and conveniences. There is a Day of Judgment coming. We will be held accountable for destroying this beautiful planet. We have received the conveniences and comforts at a very high price. In order to maintain such a luxurious life style we have polluted the water, the air, the land, and destroyed most living things on this planet. There is a day of reckoning and it is near at hand. Repent of the evil. Turn back to Yahuah and to His righteousness.
The 10 Toes of Daniel is the Digital Age now:
The 10 Toes of Daniel represents the culmination and the end of Satan's rule on earth. It signifies the soon return of the Messiah at his 2nd Coming.
No one will dispute that we are now in the Digital Age. But what does it really mean from a scriptural point of view. Check and look-up the word "DIGIT" in a good English Dictionary. The word "DIGIT" means the "number 10" (Judgment), it also means "fingers and toes"!!!
Calling All Believers! This is a Wake-up Call!!
Time to wake up! The call has gone out that the Bridegroom is coming! The foolish virgins are still asleep. The wise virgins have filled their lamps with oil (Holy Spirit of Yahuah) and trimmed their lamps to meet the Bridegroom. The foolish virgins slumber with the cares and riches of this life. The wise virgins are diligent in seeking the Kingdom of Yahuah. The wise are studying and sharing the Word of Yahuah following the path of Righteousness walking in the footsteps of Yahuahshua the Messiah.
The U.S. is the Keystone in the Global Financial System:
The U.S. is the Keystone in the Global Financial System. The U.S. is the horse engine that drives the world economic system. 70 percent of the world is using the American Dollar. So the drama of raising the U.S. Debt Ceiling and now the downgrading of the U.S. Credit Rating are both signs of early cracks in the Global Economic System that could lead to a global recession.
China says the world needs a new world reserve currency where no one country can influence global markets like the U.S. Dollar does. Russia already suggested the "UNO" a few years ago as a substitute for the U.S. Dollar and actually minted a few for a demonstration.
What we could be witnessing are the birth pains for the forging of the 1st New World Order Currency connected with the Beast System and the soon coming Mark of the Beast.
Life comes from Life:
If you look at anything that is alive in Nature, you will find that Life comes from Life. We too as human beings came from Life. We originated from Yahuah. Yahuah gives us Life. He sustains our Life. Yahuah gives us the Hope of Eternal Life through His beloved Son Yahuahshua, by His Holy Spirit, by His Word and by His Promises.
Our Affluent Life Style is killing us:
The affluent life style of the 1st World Nations is destroying us. The diseases are rampant. Never in history has such diseases as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and other diseases have so ravaged Mankind. We are dying like flies and are sick because of poor nutrition in our diet (too much salt, sugar, processed foods, junk foods, fat, etc.), lack of excercise, lack of sleep, too much stress, violence, fear, and uncertainty; lack of a good conscience and love toward our beloved Creator Yahuah and toward our fellow Man.
Do you not hear the warnings and the shouts of the prophets. Flee the pleasures and lusts of the flesh that this modern way of life caters to.
"Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues." Revelation 18:4.
Satan has deceived the Whole World:
Satan has deceived the whole world. Satan is replacing the natural beautiful world of Yahuah with an artificial one created in Satan's image. This New World Order of Satan is Digital. The Financial System is no longer based on a solid rock foundation of solid values. This new Financial System is based on like the Emperor's New Clothes on nothing but thin air, on Satan's imaginary artificial world that he has created. This new financial system is no longer based on real physical assets gained by hard honest work. It is based on intangible illusionary digital numbers kept in computers and created out of nothing. Why do you think the price of gold has skyrocketed so high in these last few years? Because the global debt is so high, paper money and credit is generated and backed by nothing, but by misplaced confidence by sheepish and deceived Mankind.
Satan is in control for now. He knows that his time is short. He wants all the power and glory that he can possibly get before he is thrown into the bottomless pit for 1000 years! Satan's rule of terror is coming to an end and the Messiah's return is at hand.
Come Yahuahshua, the sooner the better, to finally rule this world in righteousness. That is why the Messiah will return using his new name of "Yahuahtsadaq" which means "Yahuah is Righteous". When confronted about giving to the powers that be at the Messiah's 1st Coming, he was asked, "Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Yahuahshua perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt you me, you hypocrites? Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he says unto them, Whose is this IMAGE and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then says he to them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto Yahuah the things that are Yahuah's." Matthew 22:17-21. Yahuah created Heaven and Earth and everything contained in them. Therefore give unto Yahuah the praise and the glory due unto His Name!!!
Satan forging the New World Order through Digital Technology:
Man's natural inclination is to resist change. Satan knows this. So to introduce change away from Yahuah's natural creation to Satan's artificial one, Satan does it through deception. Satan uses the ice-cube theory. The ice-cube theory is a way to introduce change. The people are naturally frozen in their natural state. So to melt this state Satan uses manipulation. First Satan creates a fearful situation that the people will want change. This change lately has been the crisis in the Financial and Political Systems (eg. current Financial Crisis and the current Arab Spring), Crisis in the environment (eg. Gulf of Mexico oil spill; natural, man or Satan made catastrophes in nature such as floods, forest fires, tsunami, etc.), and Civil unrest etc.
Once the natural human condition is melted then Satan shapes and molds it locking it into his New World Order. Satan has gradually conditioned Man in the past 100 years through technology. Digital Technology is the last step that will introduce the Mark of the Beast. This last phase of his plan is happening now with all the upheaval in the world he has terrorized Man into submission. This change is seamless. For example, in Canada the Broadcasting system is now digital. We were weaned on analog T.V. but now are locked into digital T.V. and into all the other forms of digital communication and control.
We are now at Daniel's prophecy of the 10 Toes at the end of time. The word "DIGIT" means related to the number "10" and "fingers and toes". Everything in our modern world is going digital. The 10 Toes prophecy of Daniel and the current Digital World is the Last and Final State of Man before the Messiah's 2nd Coming!!! Welcome to the New World Order!!! Satan's New World Order!!!
Satan has to rule the world before the Messiah returns and he is doing it through Digital Technology. Satan is here on earth and he is ruling and controlling Man through Digital Technology. Digital Technology is incorporated into the control systems of every aspect of our modern world. Digital controls are in transportation, communications, satellite tracking, clocks, appliances, shopping, medicine, and in the smallest nook and cranny of our daily lives. The deception is so strong that if it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived.
Satan's influence on all of Mankind in these Last Days:
Satan controls Man through manipulation using our own nature against us. In this modern age Satan influences our environment through technology, drugs, and mind control techniques developed by the powers that be, to seduce, addict, and enslave us if we let them. Subliminal messages are bombarding us in everything that we hear and see in our modern cities and homes.
Unless you are a hermit living in a remote wilderness without any contact with civilization, you are directly affected. Even in the wilderness we are bombarded with invisible sound waves generated by electronic devices that we can not see or have any defense against. Satan has the power to control and manipulate Man and his environment. These are the miracles spoken of and prophesied in Revelation 13:11-15 where we read, "And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast...". The miracles of this present Digital Age as performed by the 2nd Beast of Revelation 13 are now upon us.
T.V., Video Games, music, and other forms of communication and entertainment devices have the power to change our physiology. The constant exposure to these powerful devices cause the human mind and body to release natural chemicals to stimulate our bodies. In effect, we are being doped and drugged without even noticing it.
In Revelation Chapters 2 and 3, the Messiah and Yahuah give us promises if we overcome. Overcome what? Overcome these dastardly and deadly addictions by Satan who polutes our environment and our whole way of Life in these Last Days.
Even simple things like colour in our environment has a direct affect upon us. The colour orange on the walls and furniture in a restaurant will urge us to eat more. The colour blue is calming and cold. Darker colours and poor lighting are used in company washrooms deliberately to discourage employees from staying in there too long. We are being manipulated without even noticing it. At some grocery stores the cash register chimes and mimics the sound of slot machines to entice customers to go gambling. These are subtle but deadly devices and techniques that Satan uses against us and which companies use to fatten their bottom line. We are herded like cattle by Satan at his every whim.
Overcoming Addictions:
Addictions no matter what they are, are an endless loop. When we choose to break free from an addiction we change the equation and the loop is broken. When we break free is what in scripture is called overcoming. The Messiah said, "Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world!" They say that if you refrain from an addiction for 21 Days you can actually overcome it. Satan wants to enslave us and to keep us dumbed down with addictions whether it is electronic or substance abuse.
To break free from an addiction we have to choose a positive alternative that changes the reality that we are in. Then are we free indeed of that particular addiction. In these Last Days Satan enslaves us and controls Man through addictions. As it is written, "Come out of her my people and be not partakers of her sins and of her plagues." The her is the Beast System with its drug like addictions. If you want to change, you have to change the equation to break the never ending cycle of the addiction. You have to break the chains of addiction to be free. Then the Hope of Eternal Life becomes a reality. Then we can keep the commandments and laws of Yahuah as a free people. Free from the tyranny and domination of Satan and Satan's deadly addictive influences.
Don't be overcome of evil but overcome evil with good. Choose a healthy and positive lifestyle. Before you is life and death, choose which way you will go. As for me and my household we choose Yahuah and His commandments, we choose Life Eternal.
Satan Conditions and Controls us from Birth in these Last Days:
Satan conditions and controls us from birth through electronic media, visually through watching T.V., by audio through sound devices like music etc.. We can not get away from Satan's electronic devices in the home, car, shopping malls, billboards, children's toys, etc.. Every aspect of our life is being bombarded and controlled through digital electronics!! Satan is behind it all!!
The only way to get away would be to live as a hermit in the wilderness. Nowadays, even that seems impossible because of satellite tracking, chem trails, invisible electronic attacks by HARP and other weapons whether it be biological, or environmental. It just seems like there is nowhere to run or hide. Satan has the whole world bottled up and has total control of it until the soon return of the Messiah!! Praise be to Yahuah who has given us hope, protection, and guidance by His Holy Spirit and His Word in these Last Days.
Satan is swallowing up Mankind by replacing the Natural World in our lives with an artificial one through technology. There is a disconnect of Man from Creation and from His Creator. Satan has achieved his ultimate goal to make Man forget his Maker. We have to reverse this by getting out more, by interacting with nature, with our fellow Man, and with our beloved Creator Yahuah.
Satan is strong but Yahuah is stronger. As it is written, "greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." Even so come Yahuahshua for the whole world yearns for your return. Hallelu Yah, Hallelu Yahuah Abinu.
The sooner your rule is established on this earth Father Yahuah, through your beloved Son Yahuahshua, the better. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done Father Yahuah our Almighty, the King of the Universe.
More Perfect Numbers:
1) 120 = 22 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 where the number 22 represents the Messiah and the number 26 represents the Father. The Messiah also carries the fullness of His Father's Name of Yahuah which has a numerical value of 26. The Messiah is called the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Man's life span was limited to 120 years.
2) 24 = 11 + 13 where in heaven there are 24 elders before the Throne of Yahuah. The number 22 represents the Messiah and 11 is a prime number of 22. The number 26 represents the Father and 13 is a prime number of 26. Again the Messiah carries the fullness of His Father's Name of Yahuah. The Messiah is the first and the last, the beginning and the end where 11 (prime of 22) + 13 (prime of 26) = 24.
The Seasons, the Equinox, and the Feast Days:
All the Feast Days are in only 2 Seasons, in Spring and Fall. The Equinox are also in these 2 Seasons with the Vernal Equinox in Spring and the Autumnal Equinox in the Fall. The only time in the year that you will have equal day and equal night is during the Spring and Fall Equinox. The Equinox are the only 2 times in the year when the Door of the Temple in Jerusalem lined up with the Golden Gate of the Temple Mount. The Equinox are the two reference points that the High Priest could use to determine the Sacred Calendar and the Feast Days of Yahuah.
3 of the Feast Day High Sabbaths are in the Spring and 4 are in the Fall. The midpoint of the 7 Feast Day Sabbaths is the 4th and middle one which is the Feast of Trumpets when the Messiah will return at his 2nd Coming.
The Spring Feasts represent the Messiah's 1st Coming and his present Name of Yahuahshua = Yahuah is Salvation.
The Fall Feasts represent the Messiah's 2nd Coming and his future Name of Yahuahtsadaq = Yahuah is Righteousness.
The Spring Equinox is used to determine the start of the 1st Day of the Sacred Calendar Year when the Spring Equinox lines up with the 4th Day of the Week Jerusalem Time and to keep the Sacred Calendar in sync with the Solar Year. The Sacred Calendar is intercalated by exactly one week of 7 days every 5 or 6 years so the weekly cycle is not interrupted since creation. The next time the Spring Equinox will line up with the 4th Day of the Week will be in 2013 when the Sacred Calendar will be intercalated.
The Fall Eqinox acts as a balance to confirm the exactness of the Sacred Calendar. This is achieved when the Fall Equinox lines up with the Day of Atonement every 5 or 6 years and the Fall Equinox is on the 7th Day of the Week Jerusalem Time. The next time this alignment will happen will be on the Day of Atonement on September 22, 2012 on the 10th Day of the 7th Month on 7th Day of the Week on a regular Sabbath Day.
The Spring and Fall Equinox act as a balance as do the Feast Days. The Feast Days can also be seen as the Scales of Justice. The 3 High Sabbaths of Spring on one scale, the 4th High Sabbath of the Feast of Trumpets as the fulcrum or mid point, and the last 3 High Sabbaths of Fall on the other scale.
So on one scale the Spring Feasts, Salvation and the Messiah's 1st Coming. On the other scale the Fall Feasts, Righteousness and the Messiah's 2nd Coming. The one weighed against the other: Salvation weighed against Righteousness which balances out. Yahuah the Father is our Salvation and our Righteousness through His beloved Son Yahuahshua at present and Yahuahtsadaq at his 2nd Coming. The Messiah said that judgment is tempered with mercy. Yahuah is showing us mercy and will execute judgment both through His beloved Son. Yahuah is Righteous and has given us a way out through the suffering and death of His beloved Son Yahuahshua.
At the Summer Solstice we have the longest day. At the Winter Solstice we have the longest night. But at the Spring and Fall Equinox we have Equal Day and Equal Night perfectly balanced.
The Temple of Yahuah in Jerusalem was perfectly aligned to the 4 points of the compass with the Front Doors of the Temple facing directly East. The Temple acted as a sundial by which the Priests of Yahuah could calculate time and the calendar. During the Spring and Fall Equinox the Temple Doors and the Golden Gate would be perfectly lined up. When the Spring Equinox lined up with the 4th Day of the Week then the start of the Calendar Year could be determined. Remember that the Sun was created on the 4th Day of the Week. So you can not start the Sacred Calendar which is based on the Solar Year without the Sun. This method is self-correcting. Whenever the Spring Equinox lined up with the 4th Day of the Week the Priests of Yahuah knew that the Sacred Calendar of Yahuah could be perfectly aligned. (Note: The Feast Days of Yahuah are directly linked to the Agricultural Year which is in turn directly linked to the Solar Year.)

Man will cease to be the beautiful creation of Yahuah and will become a desensitized virtual zombie controlled by Satan. Human emotions will be a thing of the past. Yes, Nano Technology promises to bring all kinds of miraculous benefits but at what price and at what loss of our freedoms? We are being given the illusion that things are getting better but in reality things are deteriorating on every level of human existence. Satan wants total control and to be worshiped as the Creator. The superficial benefits are there but the true joy, peace, and purpose of wholesome living is gone. Turn back to Yahuah and live!!
October 29, 2011 - Thailand - Floods destroy about 14 percent of Rice production. Thailand is the world's largest rice producer supplying about 31 percent of the world's rice. The floods are also causing $ Billions in lost revenue in the manufacturing sector as well.

If any EU country defaults, it could have a chain reaction which could get out of control and cause a domino affect plunging the world into a global recession.
November 9, 2011 - The World - Stock Markets drop as Italy's Debt rises to $1.9 Trillion. The EU is not big enough to bail out Italy. This Financial Crisis could plunge the world into a global recession having a domino affect on the other countries around the world.

November 17, 2011 - Global Financial Crisis - First it was Greece that rocked the Global Stockmarket, then Italy, and now Spain. Once a country hits the magic number of 7 percent interest on it's 10 year government Bonds (on its repayment debts), then it is feared that it won't be able to meet its debt obligations. What country is next and what impact will it have on the confidence in the global stockmarkets? We are in for a real roller coaster ride this Winter and in 2012.
November 23, 2011 - Cell Phones used for making purchases. A special chip in upgraded cell phones can now be used in some countries like a credit card for payment. This has been used in Turkey for some time now. The person's cell phone is placed on top of a reader so the cell phone probably has an RFID chip. This is already being used to get away from using cash especially for small purchases. This hasn't caught on in North America yet. But the younger generation is more keen on using electronic payment as opposed to the older generation that prefers to use cash.
December 6, 2011 - Europe - Standard and Poor's Credit Rating Agency has put 17 European countries on a Warning Watch including Germany!!

Conclusion:
The Messiah is the portal (the door) into the Kingdom of Yahuah. The Messiah said in John 14:6 where it reads, "Yahuahshua said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me."
When everything and everybody around you is determined to destroy you, then stand strong in the faith. Don't give up. Satan only came to destroy. Yahuahshua the Messiah came to heal and to give life that we may have life more abundantly. Though the pace seems slow keep trucking, don't quit.
As you see the Global Economy go to hell because of the greed and corruption, don't be afraid, trust in Yahuah. As people are becoming more fearful of losing their jobs, their homes, and as prices are going through the roof for the basics of life like food, trust in Yahuah. As people start to panic and become more violent for fear, trust in Yahuah. As it is written in Philippians 4:6-7 we read, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto Yahuah. And the peace of Yahuah, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through the Messiah Yahuahshua."
The deception is strong but Yahuah is stronger. Don't let the fear, frustration, and anger overwhelm you. Trust in Yahuah.
It is interesting, we are awash with Satan's influence yet we can not see it. We are blinded by the technology and the affluence of easy living. Satan feeds us by his hand at his whim. We are helpless and totally dependent on Satan in these modern cities.
Ever notice how in Satan's world almost everything is reconstituted! Satan has taken Yahuah's beautiful world and has given it a total make over in his own image. Very few things retain their natural form or constitution. Simple things like bread should have just 4 ingredients - flour, yeast, salt, and water. Yet if you look at the ingredients label for bread in your local grocery store you will see that it has not 4 words, but 4 or 5 lines of the different ingredients and chemicals that it is made of. Bread is no longer natural and our bodies are suffering as a result. Yahuah commanded Adam after his fall to work by the sweat of his brow for his food. As Adam's descendants we no longer keep Yahuah's commandments. Consequently we are open to all kinds of disease such as cancer and heart disease. Couch potatoes are the norm in our modern world. It is no wonder that we are turned into zombies by Satan and to go in whatever direction he wants us to go.
"Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek Yahuah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you." Hosea 10:12.
Look upon the fields for they are white and ripe for the Wheat Harvest. The tares are also ready for the harvest. How do we know? Because of the evil and the Digital Technology. We are beholding the wonders and miracles of our modern age. The power is awesome. With the touch of a button man can wipe out a whole city. Wealth can be created or lost in a moment with the stroke of a single key on a keyboard.
The Mark of the Beast is at the door not just in Europe but all over the world. When we see a truly united financial world then you will see the completion of the Beast System. You will see the Mark of the Beast take hold. The New World Order is upon us. Satan's iron hold on Man is prophesied and it is happening now as we speak. Satan knows that his time is short and he will speed things up through digital technology.
The year 2012 promises to be one very exciting and challenging year. We can expect more government control with the use of high tech surveillance. The use of Biometric Identification will dominate all aspects of daily life. Man will run to and fro with anxiety and fear. There will be an overhaul of the whole economic system with the possible introduction of the Mark of the Beast. There will be signs in the heavens and on the earth the distress of Nations with perplexity. There will be upheaval in Nature, and in the social order of Man. Great changes will occur in the Financial, Social, Political, and environmental structure of this planet earth with the seas and the waves roaring. It will be a very exciting time in human history to live but fear and anxiety will rule the masses. It will be a time of trouble, even Jacobs trouble. The hearts of many shall grow cold. Satan will rule with an iron fist. There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars. Signs of the Messiah's soon return. Better hunker down and get ready!!!
The Mark of the Beast can become a reality in 2012. The Financial Crisis combined with the marvels of modern digital technology could bring about the Mark of the Beast in 2012. Once the Mark of the Beast is enforced then the 5th Seal will be open. Then Believers will be persecuted and killed for their faith because they will refuse to take the Mark of the Beast. Many will be thrown into prison and killed for refusing to take Satan's Mark. Don't be surprised when they persecute and kill you for they have done this to the Saints and the Prophets in the past. They have even killed the Messiah to try to silence the truth. Be you comforted in this. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. He that endures unto the end shall be saved. We are not fighting flesh and blood, but principalities and corruption in high places. Fear not for it is your Heavenly Father's good pleasure that you inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.
In 2012 the Financial Crisis will continue to deepen and the Arab Uprising will draw in the whole world as the Middle East erupts. The oil is in the Middle East and the most powerful Nations will be there to defend their own National interests. The major players will flex their muscles soon.
The Global Financial Crisis in 2012 will result in a totally electronic system that will force the underground economies of the world to the surface where the governments can collect $ Trillions in undeclared revenues. This will result in the Mark of the Beast!!! The people will not be able to buy or sell without going through the Beast System process!! The governments are deep in debt and hurting. The people are out of work and losing their homes. The only feasible answer is the Mark of the Beast which the people and the governments of the world will gladly embrace.
Don't be distracted by the pain and the trouble. Keep your heart and mind on Yahuah and he will give you peace of mind. Rejoice and be glad in Yahuah in all your tribulations. Our time in these fleshly bodies is but for a moment, then we will ever be with Yahuah for all Eternity!! Turn the frustration, anger and helplessness into strength, hope, joy and peace in Yahuah. When you get lemons, make lemonade. Have a positive attitude. Learn to see the glass half full instead of half empty. Put a positive twist to a negative situation. Always see the good and avoid the evil. See beyond the earthly flesh and embrace the spirit of heaven. Not by power nor by might but by My Spirit says Yahuah. Yahuah gives us life. He sustains our life. Yahuah gives us the hope of Eternal Life through His beloved Son Yahuahshua.
Break loose. Break the chains that bind you. Seek Yahuah and His Righteousness. Seek the Kingdom of Yahuah. Study Yahuah's Word. Let Yahuah's truth and Righteousness ring throughout the whole world. Make known the praises of Yahuah. Hallelu-Yah, Hallelu-Yahuah abinu.
INDEX OF TOPICS:
132.0) 2012 the Year of the Dragon:
Introduction:
Today is July 8, 2012 the 25th Day of the 4th Month, the Day of the 2nd Jubilee of Days. The Year 2012 is the Year of the Dragon on the Chinese Calendar, how appropriate! It is written that there shall be signs in the Heavens in the Last Days. This year has several of these signs.
The Feast of Pentecost is the 1st of the 7 Jubilee of Days in the Sacred Calendar Year. Pentecost marks the beginning of these Jubilees. So having the Annular Solar Eclipse on the Feast of Pentecost on May 20, 2012 is a sign of things to come.
Also in 2012 the Day of Atonement will line up with the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2012. The Jubilee Year was always celebrated on the Day of Atonement. So Pentecost which is a type of Jubilee, a 50th is connected to the Day of Atonement especially this year in 2012.
Sometimes we forget how fragile we are as human beings, especially in these Last Days. Most of all, we forget how important our beloved Creator Yahuah and His beloved Son Yahuahshua can be in helping us in these troubled times. So let us remember who holds the Keys of Life and let us give them the love, obedience and praise that they deserve as we face these trials and tribulations. Hallelu-Yah, Hallelu Yahuah abinu.
Current Events:
January 13, 2012: India - Biometrics: There is a program underway in India where each person will be Finger printed and/or Iris scanned to develop a National ID program. It is called the "Universal ID Project" which will introduce a "Unique ID Number", "UIN" for short.
Note: The Mark of the Beast is inevitable because:
1) The Global Population Explosion requires control.
2) Because of Security concerns there is a necessity for ID and Tracking of potentially dangerous persons.
3) Financial transactions require ID and Tracking for Government revenue and benefit distribution.
With two of the world's most populous countries, namely China and India, pushing for a Unique Identity Biometric System, you can be sure that the world will follow. These two Nations are the new emerging economies that the world is depending on to bring it out of the financial slump and are the new global Financial Drivers. The Mark of the Beast will be integrated into the Global Financial System where no one will be able to buy or sell without it. The Global Financial Crisis and the fast paced introduction of New Digital Technology is pushing us ever closer to the Mark of the Beast!!
January 13, 2012: Europe - Standard & Poors downgrades the Credit Rating for 9 European countries including France.
January 23, 2012: China - Today is the Chinese Lunar New Year. The Year of the Dragon!

February 2, 2012: Europe - Freezing temperatures and heavy snow blankets Europe from Siberia.
February 14, 2012: U.S.A. - New prospective Head of China Xi Jinling makes his first and introductory visit to the U.S.. Note the first letter of his name of "X". This is also the Year of the Dragon in China. "X" can stand for "Christ", as in "X-mas", etc.. The constellation Orion forms a huge "X" in the Winter evening sky.
February 29, 2012: Telecommunication companies are all bundling Internet, Telephone, and T.V. services into one package. These 3 main forms of communication will quickly become one device resulting in more tighter control by Satan.
March 2, 2012: Sun - Super Sunspot Cycle Year peaks. It is assumed that this is the cause of devastating tornadoes in the U.S.A..
March 2, 2012: Australia - Severe flooding in Australia.
March 10, 2012: U.S.A. - Unprecedented weird weather hits Hawaii with severe storms, hail, and a tornado.
March 24, 2012: Canada - Cable companies are urging their customers to pick up and install a Digital Adapter for each T.V. set older than 2006. Once the system goes totally Digital, customers will no longer be able to watch T.V. unless they convert their older sets to Digital. These communication companies are also bundling Telephone, Internet, and T.V. into one Digital Package. Once this is complete you will not be able to function in this Digital Society unless you submit and bow down to Digital Rule!! Look around you, can you not see Satan's final domination through these Digital Devices?!!
Do you not see how Satan is totally dominating and enslaving Man. These new Digital Adapters on each T.V. set will enable the system to identify, profile, and track the thought patterns of each individual by what they watch and when. This is just another nail in the coffin of our freedom.
March 29, 2012: India - BRICS Summit was held in India today. BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa which represents 45 percent of the World's population. There were indications that they may form a New Bank to counter Western Nations like the EU and the U.S.A..
About 70 percent of the World's Financial System is run by using the U.S. Dollar. The U.S. National Debt is about $18 Trillion. This is a real predicament, how long can the world run on using a bankrupt currency? China which holds the largest amount of U.S. green backs, is pushing for a New World default currency.
April 18, 2012: Canada - Toronto - The majority of the people have rejected large scale gambling for years but now the city is pushing for a Casino to generate funds. Legalized prostitution has also come up in the discussion. Moral decay is rampant all over the World. This is Satan's doing. Satan's ways are subtle but deadly and the deception is strong. Satan wants to destroy and to control Man through evil and corruption. The Messiah came that we may have life and that we may have life more abundantly. In Revelation 18:4 we read, "Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues."
May 4, 2012: Moon - Full Moon closest approach to earth will cause extreme high and low tides around the world.
May 5, 2012: Financial System - There is a push to a fully integrated Digital Monetary System by merchants. Merchants want to get away from handling coin and cash bills which is proving to be costly and cumbersome. The Canadian Mint has now officially stopped minting the One Cent Coin because it is too costly. The push is on to use the computer chip in cards and cell phones as the more convenient and economical way to go for most purchases. This is one small step for Man and one giant leap for Mankind to accept the Mark of the Beast. Once the Beast System is fully implemented, people will no longer be able to buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast which will be Digital.

Satan's Digital Control:
Satan has seduced Man into using Digital Technology with its marvels of tech wizardry. Now that we rely so heavily on this modern technology, our very existence in this society is dependant on being subservient to Satan and his rule. Our food, water, power and other necessities are controlled by computers. So is social interaction, communication and entertainment. Even security and law enforcement is wrapped up in it. Personal Digital Devices can be used to profile, track, and control the life of each individual. So our freedoms are out the window and our life is now in the vise grip of Satan. In the name of security and financial stability the Mark of the Beast will be introduced and Satan will appear as the the saviour of the world. Satan is using Digital Technology as his Man-Trap to catch his prey -- meaning us, the human beings, Yahuah's Creation.
In Timothy 4:1-2 we read, "... in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; ..." This prophecy is for our time now when the abominable addictions of Digital Technology is destroying Man.
Remember when the Financial System was Analogue? Remember when you went to the Bank and deposited or withdrew money, it was recorded by hand into your bank book. Now it is done digitally by computers. So when did this Financial Digital System start? Remember when we used to get our paper paycheques? Now it is mostly done as an automatic deposit digitally into our bank account.
This Digital System has creeped in upon us slowly and gradually. To the point now that it has overwhelmed us and we are totally engulfed in it. There is no escape from it. Our whole way of life is being completely immersed into this Digital System. There is only one thing left that has not happened yet and that is the introduction of the Mark of the Beast.
In the name of Security the Mark of the Beast will be introduced in the coming months and years. All it will take will be one major catastrophe like 911. It will come as sure as the Sun will rise tomorrow morning.
The stage is set and everything is in place. All it will take now is some form of trigger. It will be Satan himself that will pull the trigger. Satan will create order out of chaos. Satan will rule the world for a short time just before the Messiah's 2nd Coming. Then the Messiah will return to establish Yahuah's Kingdom on earth. Consequently Satan will be bound for 1000 Years and the earth will again enjoy her Sabbaths, especially her 7th Millennium Sabbath.
We can already see how we are tracked and monitored by GPS in our cell phones, cars, etc. The use of merchandising points and reward systems track our buying, spending, and movement patterns. The use of Credit and Debit cards track and monitor where, when, and what we buy. On the telephone and internet our conversations and subject matter are tracked and monitored so our privacy and freedoms are violated.
No matter what Satan throws at us, no matter how he wants to dominate us, we are still free in Yahuah through Yahuahshua by Yahuah's Holy Spirit and by Yahuah's Word and Promises. Satan may try to control our flesh but he certainly can not control our spirit that is in Yahuah. As it is written in 1John 4:4, "You are of Yahuah, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." So trust in Yahuah, for He is our shield, defense and hope. Walk in the light and you won't stumble in the dark. Praise be to Yahuah for His great love and mercy that He showers upon us every day. Hallelu-Yah, Hallelu-Yahuah abinu.
More Perfect Numbers:
1) Here is another indication of the perfection of the Sacred Calendar of Yahuah. At the end of the Sacred Calendar Year we have the 7th Jubilee of Days which is a 50th Day on the 28th Day of the 12th Month. Plus 2 more Days with the 29th and 30th Day marks the end of the 12th Month and the Calendar Year. So we have the 50th Day + 2 Days = 52 Days at the end of the Year. The Sacred Calendar Year = 52 perfect Weeks!! At the end of the Year we have 52 Days! This is just another confirmation that we have the right calendar. Note how 52 = 26 + 26 where 26 is the Hebrew Numerical value of Yahuah's name. The Messiah also carries his Father's full name of Yahuah in his two Present and Future names = 26 + 26 = 52!! The 1st 26 Weeks in the Year represents the Messiah's 1st Coming while the Last 26 Weeks represents his 2nd Coming where 26 Weeks + 26 Weeks = 52 Weeks.
2) More meaning in the number 39. 40 = a generation. 40 less 1 = 39 stripes. We are healed by the stripes, suffering and sacrifice of the Messiah. 39 = 13 + 13 + 13 where 13 is the prime number of the name of Yahuah the Father. 39 = 26 + 13 = 1.5 x 26 where 26 is the numerical value of the name of Yahuah the Father.
3) 118 = 100 + 18 = (3 x 26) + 22 + 18 = 78 + 22 + 18.
118 = (2 x 26) + (3 x 22) = 52 + 66.
Where 26 represents Yahuah the Father, 22 represents the Messiah, and 18 represents Righteousness.
4) 144 = (3 x 26) + (3 x 22) = 78 + 66.
144 = 26 + 26 + 26 + 22 + 22 + 22.
144 = (22 + 26) + (22 + 26) + (22 + 26).
144 = 48 + 48 + 48.
5) 26 = 18 + 8. Where 26 = the numerical value of Yahuah's name, 18 = Righteousness, 8 = New Beginning. The Messiah's Future Name at his 2nd Coming will be Yahuahtsadaq = Yahuah is Righteous = 220 = 10 x 22. Where 22 represents the Messiah and completion, and 10 = Judgment.
6) 44 = 18 + 26 = 22 + 22.
40 = 18 + 22 = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10.
40 represents a generation.
7) 48 = 22 + 26.
48 = 4 x 12.
48 = 2 x 24.
The number 12 and 24 comes up several times in scripture such as: 12 Tribes of Israel, 12 Apostles, 12 Months of the Year, etc., 24 Courses of the Priests, 24 Elders before the throne of Yahuah, etc..
8) 1260 Day Prophecy for the Last Days (Revelation 11:2-3; 12:6; 13:1-5) with another perspective. If you take the number 1260 and stretch it you get 1 -- 26 -- 0. Notice how you have 26 the number of Yahuah in the center and on the two ends the 1 and 0 = 10 = Judgment! Combineded you have Yahuah's Judgment for the Last Days!
You can take this one step further. Notice how the number 10 is split. So we have 10 = 5 + 5. Like the Hand Writing on the Wall in Daniel 5:25-28 where MENE + MENE = 50 Shekels + 50 Shekels on the Scales of Justice. Yahuah's justice!
This ties in perfectly with what Hilary Clinton said this past week about the Syrian President. She said, "Assad needs to understand that his days are numbered ... the hand writing is on the wall"! Latter on in the week she repeated that the "Hand Writing was on the Wall".
50 Shekels + 50 Shekels = 100 Shekels.
100 = 26 + 26 + 26 + 22!
9) The Numbers of the 7 Days of the Creation Week:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
The 1st 3 Days = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 = incomplete.
From the 4th Day to Sabbath the 7th Day = 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 22 = complete.
From the 1st Day to the 4th Day = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 = Judgment.
Keep in mind that the Messiah was crucified on the 4th Day of the Week, in the middle of the Week.
The Sun was created/reset on the 4th Day of the Week.
With the 7 Lamp Menorah the 4th Lamp feeds the other 6.
The Statue Image of Nebuchadnezzar of Daniel for the Last Days and the 2nd Coming of the Messiah:
The great Statue Image of Nebuchadnezzar of Daniel 2:31-45 is for our time now in these Last Days. We are now at the bottom of the Image and at the End of the Age, at the 10 Toes. The 2 Legs represent Rome split into East and West. The 10 Toes are also split into East and West. We can clearly see this East - West split in world situations today. Take for example the Crisis in Syria: the world is deadlocked into East and West. In the East we have Russia and China opposing the West with the U.S.A., Britain, etc. So strong is the split that the poor people of Syria are in limbo and are suffering a murderous tyrant because there is no unity in the U.N. Security Council.
These are all signs that the Messiah is coming soon.
Conclusion:
Look upon the Wheat fields of the World for they are now white for the Harvest. The Wheat are the Righteous and the Tares are the evildoers. Both are ripe for the Harvest.
Satan's influence on the World is to do evil continually. But keep in mind that Yahuah's eye is over the Righteous and His ears are open to their prayers. So do not be discouraged because of the evil. Do not be overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Trust in Yahuah and He will strengthen your heart. Be patient for the Messiah's return for the time is at hand and he will not tarry. Be of a good courage, be steadfast in Yahuah.
In 2Thessalonians 2:3 we read, "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." Some believers are falling away and the lamps of the 5 foolish virgins are going out fast. The coming of the Messiah is near.
Acquaint now yourself with Yahuah while He may be found. Don't wait until it is too late. Behold today is the Day of Salvation. In Jeremiah 9:24 we read, "But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am Yahuah which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yahuah." Unless Yahuah protects, the watchman watches in vain. There shall be a famine in the land, not for bread but for the Word of Yahuah! And that famine has already started.
Do you know the difference between a Believer and an Unbeliever? Answer: The Believer is going Home into the Kingdom of Yahuah for all Eternity. While the Unbeliever is at Home on the Earth for a short time.
May your Name be written in the "Book of Life".

133.0) 2013 the Year of the Snake:
Introduction:
Today is April 4, 2013 the 15th Day of the 1st Month, the 1st Day of the 7 Day Feast of Unleavened Bread. The Year 2013 is the Year of the Snake on the Chinese Calendar. In scripture Satan is called that Old Serpent and the Great Dragon. The Dragon is a prominent symbol of China. Last Year, 2012 was the Year of the Dragon on the Chinese Calendar, how appropriate! Both the Dragon and the Snake are symbolic of Satan. Keeping these things in mind, the prophecy in Revelation 12:7-9 is taking place even as we speak.
In Revelation 12:7-9 we read, "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
The flash point for the start of World War III are the three rogue Nations of Iran, Syria, and North Korea. China along with Russia is backing all three of these Nations that threaten the world with nuclear war. Just in the last few days, North Korea has stepped up its rhetoric against the United States with threats of nuclear attack.
China is one of the Kings of the East. In Revelation 16:12 we are told that when the 6th Angel pours his vial upon the Great River Euphrates then the waters thereof will be dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. Well folks, we are much closer to this reality then you can imagine. There are serious signs that North Korea could be the trigger. Then through Iran and Syria the prophecy of the Battle ofArmaggedon will begin. The current civil war in Syria is spilling over into neighbouring countries including Israel. Israel has already warned Iran not to complete its aim to produce nuclear weapons. The danger of all out world war is brewing in all three of these countries: North Korea, Syria and Iran. (Note: Har Meggido which is the Mountain of Meggido is the Biblical Armaggedon which is just outside of Mount Carmel in Israel. This can all come to a head this year!

August 31, 2012: Astronomy - On August 31, 2012 there was a Blue Moon. A Blue Moon is when there are 2 Full Moons in one Month and the Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in that Month. 7 times in 19 Years there are 13 Full Moons in a Year (Note: 7 + 19 = 26!). This gives 11 Months with one Full Moon each and one Month with two Full Moons. The last Blue Moon was in March 2010, and the next one after August 31, 2012 will occur on July 31, 2015.
Can there be two Blue Moons in a single Calendar Year? Yes. It happened in 1999 when there were 2 Full Moons in January and 2 Full Moons in March and no Full Moons in February. The next year of double Blue Moons is coming up in 2018.
The Old Farmer's Almanac defined a Blue Moon as an extra Full Moon that occurred in a season. One Season (Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter) typically has 3 Full Moons. If a season has 4 Full Moons, then the 3rd Full Moon may be called a Blue Moon. The next Blue Moon by this definition will fall on August 21, 2013.
September 17, 2012: Islam - Riots and demonstrations all over the Muslim World took place due to a Film which defames the Prophet Mohammed. This event has stirred up Muslims pushing for an International Law on Blasphemy for the 3 Great Religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
October 29, 2012: U.S.A. - "Sandy" the Largest Atlantic Ocean Storm in history hit all along the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S.A.. This combined 3 powerful systems: in the East, "Sandy", a tropical storm to make Hurricane status; in the West a Winter Storm System; and a Full Moon with High Tides. It affected 14 States and over 50 Million people.
October 30, 2012: U.S.A. - The City of New York and New Jersey hit hard by Storm Sandy which caused about $20 Billion damage by flooding and destruction. About 5 Million people without power and about 40 people dead. Note: This is prophecy coming to pass according to the Book of Revelation because Man is destroying the earth and refusing to acknowledge Yahuah as the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
November 17, 2012: Sun - huge eruptions on the Sun's surface.
November 17, 2012: U.S.A. - New York City - Super Storm Sandy flooded the New York Stock Exchange with 2 - 3 feet of water. This is now the 2nd largest disaster to hit New York City. 911 was the 1st.
November 29, 2012: United Nations - U.N. approves Palestinian Statehood.

Note: SANTA has exactly the same letters as SATAN but arranged differently.
December 2012: Antartica - Wtih global warming, a critical division of frozen ice will start to melt that for millennia has divided two species of rats. Once these two species come together, scientists fear that a special super rat will emerge that could threaten the world.
This could be the start of the fulfilment of the prophecy in the Book of Revelation 6:7-8 with the opening of the 4th Seal and reads, "... Behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them (him) over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
January 1, 2013: U.S.A. - A Global Financial crisis has been avoided. Lawmakers in the U.S. avoided the Financial Fiscal Cliff by passing last minute laws. This just kicked the can further down the road for future generations and did not solve the problem. The U.S. keeps getting deeper into debt and this chaos will have to be dealt with again in another 2 months. So the fear of the American people and the teetering of Global Markets will start all over again in an unending cycle unless the problem is tackled in earnest.
January 11, 2013: China - According to Coast to Coast Radio, China is stock piling rice, powdered milk, baby formula, iron ore, precious metals, etc. Are the Chinese preparing for something that we are not aware of?
February 10, 2013: China - On the Chinese Calendar this is the Year of the Snake. In scripture, Satan is called the Dragon and a Serpent (Revelation 12:7-9). The 2013 Lunar Chinese New Year, the Year of the Snake takes over from the Dragon read one news caption; since 2012 was the Year of the Dragon and 2013 is the Year of the Snake on the Chinese Calendar.
February 11, 2013: Rome - Vatican - The Pope anounces his resignation by the end of February. This has not happened in 600 Years! Usually the Pope dies in office. Also amazing is that lightning struck the Vatican when he made his announcement.
February 13, 2013: U.S.A. - A Computer Company is due to come out with a brand new T.V. product which will have voice recognition with a virtual keyboard, etc. This is a sure sign of Satan's miracles in the Last Days. Is this the final Image of the Beast? T.V. has been called the opiate of the masses. These new Digital Devices are all geared for mind control and ultimately the worship of the Beast.
February 14, 2013: Russia - Once in a century event. Meteor hits Russia. Surviving fragments have an estimated value of $4 Billion in precious metals. 1000 people hurt, mostly by flying glass caused by a super sonic boom when the meteor exploded just above the ground. As it is written, "And there shall be signs in the Sun, and in the Moon, and in the Stars; and upon the earth distress of Nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (Luke 21:25-28)."
February 15, 2013: Global - Asteroid the size of 1/2 of a football field passed over Indonesia and came very close to the earth but just passed by without impact. See Luke 21:25-28.
February 19, 2013: United Kingdom - Person dies from SARS like virus which now can be transmitted from human to human.
March 13, 2013: Italy - Rome - New Pope selected. The first Jesuit Pope, Pope Francis I. This is the first time that 2 Popes are alive at the same time. First time in 600 Years that a Pope has resigned. March 13, 2013 was the 1st Intercalary Day on the Sacred Calendar separating the old and new Year.
March 20, 2013: 1st Day of Spring (Spring Equinox) - Jerusalem - President Obama in Jerusalem. 8th Intercalary Day on the Sacred Calendar separating the old and new Year. This Year in 2013 there is the regular 1 Day Intercalary Day between Winter and Spring, plus 7 Intercalary Days to bring the Sacred Calendar back in line with the Solar Year.
Note: Sacred Calendar Intercalated. In 2013 the Sacred Calendar is Intercalated by an additional 7 Days. Normally there is always 1 Intercalary Day separation between each of the 4 Seasons. This Year there is the regular Intercalary Day plus 7 Intercalary Days separating the Season of Winter and Spring. So there are in fact 1 + 7 = 8 Intercalary Days in 2013 separating Winter from Spring. The Last Day of Winter was the 30th Day of the 12th Month on March 12, 2013. March 13, 2013 is the 1st of the 8 Intercalary Days. March 20, 2013 is the 8th Intercalary Day, the 1st Day of Spring, the Spring Equinox, and the 1st Day of President Obama in Israel and Jerusalem.
March 20, 2013: Spring Equinox - March 20, 2013 at 13 Hours, 3 Minutes, Jerusalem Time.
March 28, 2013: Cyprus - Financial Crisis hits Bank Depositors. All Bank Depositors with over 100,000 Euros will have to lose up to 20 percent and some up to 46 percent or more of their deposit. There was a run on the Banks. Depositors were desperate to get as much of their money out of the Bank as possible. Banks were shut for 2 weeks. Banks reopened today. Fallout from panicked depositors: this has caused a ripple affect of fear and uncertainty around the world, especially in Europe.
March 28, 2013: North Korea - North Korea threatens the U.S. with long range missiles. This is a desperate but very real threat by North Korea to get more financial aid and compensation. North Korea's posture threatens the whole region.
April 3, 2013: North Korea - North Korea steps up its rhetoric to attack the U.S. with nuclear missiles. Stock Market takes a dive in response to these threats.
April 5, 2013: World - Digital Currency now exists on the Internet. The unit is called, "Bitcoin". This virtual currency has existed for 4 years. 21 Million Bitcoin are in circulation on the Internet. The value is about $147.00 U.S. per Bitcoin. The Total Circulation Value is about $300 Million at present and growing. Note: There is nothing tangible backing this virtual currency!!
International Law on Blasphemy:
Riots and demonstrations have taken place all over the Muslim World due to a Film which defames the Prophet Mohammed. This event has stirred up Muslims pushing for an International Law on Blasphemy for the 3 Great Religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
What has this to do with believers? Plenty. This marks the imminent opening of the 5th Seal of Revelation 6:9-11 which is the persecution of believers. The Blasphemy Law carries the Death Sentence. No more sitting on the fence. If believers use the Father's Name of Yahuah or the two names of the Messiah which carry the fullness of Yahuah's name then believers could be killed. Some people believe that the Father's Name is too Holy to use and those that don't believe in the Messiah of the New Testament consider using the Messiah's two names which carry Yahuah's Fulll Name as blasphemy. Believers will have to choose who they worship at the pain of death.
The Blasphemy Law will also use reverse discrimination. In Revelation 13:5-8 the 1st Beast will blaspheme against Yahuah and will make war with the Saints.
In the 7 Laws of Noah also known as the 7 Noahide Laws, one of these laws is against Blasphemy. According to this Law of Blasphemy, an Israelite would be stoned to death, while a Gentile would be beheaded. This fits perfectly with the prophecy in Revelation 20:4 where it says, "... I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahuahshua, and for the word of Yahuah, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands ..."
As Believers, we have no other choice but to call upon Yahuah and Yahuahshua using their true names. But in the eyes of some, this is a form of blaspheme. So be of good courage fellow Saints and keep on worshipping Yahuah in Spirit and in truth. Search the scriptures and see how even the Messiah was accused and condemned for blaspheme (John 10:36; Mark 2:7; Luke 5:21; Mark 14:64; Matthew 26:65-66; John 10:33).
Hallelu-Yah, Hallelu-Yahuah Abinu!!
If we deny Him, He will deny us.
So let us embrace Him in Spirit and in truth.
More Perfect Numbers:
1) 74 = 22 + 26 + 26 = 30 + 22 + 22.
The Messiah began his ministry at age 30. 22 is a number of completion and represents the Messiah. 2 x 26 represents the Father's Name twice which is in both the Messiah's Present and Future Name, and represents the Messiah's 1st and 2nd Coming.
2) The Messiah said this generation shall not pass away until these things be fulfilled. In Scripture 1 Generation = 40 Years.
The Messiah was 40 1/2 Years old when he died. The Messiah began his ministry at age 30. Those that mocked him said that he was not yet 50 Years old. King David began his reign at age 30 Years old. In one scripture it is written that King David ruled for 40 Years while in another that he ruled for 40 1/2 Years.
The number 40 is also a number of cleansing. Moses was on Mount Sinai for 40 Days. The Messiah was fasting in the wilderness for 40 Days. The Children of Israel were in the wilderness for 40 Years. The reason that this number 40 is so important is because 40 = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10. The number 10 represents Judgment. If you add the numbers 1 to 10 in series you get 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55 = 7 + 22 + 26 ! Since there are 4 of these 10's in 40 you get 4 x 55 = 220!!!
The numerical value of the Messiah's Future Name of Yahuahtsadaq = 220!!! 220 = 10 x 22 where 10 = Judgment, and 22 represents the Messiah and completion. Also, 55 = 7 + 22 + 26 where 7 and 22 represents the Messiah and 26 represents Yahuah the Father.
From the Messiah's Death in 30CE to the destruction of the 2nd Temple and Jerusalem by Titus in 70CE = 40 Years = 1 Generation which fulfils the first application of the Messiah's two prophecies of this scripture when he said "this generation shall not pass away until these things be fulfilled." While the second application of this prophecy is for our time now. This second application is the Messiah's 2nd Coming when he will come using his new Name of Yahuahtsadaq = 220 = Yahuah is Righteous (Righteousness of Yahuah) and Judge the World. 10 = Judgment. 40 = 4 x 10. 55 = 7 + 22 + 26. 4 x 55 = 220 = 10 x 22.
Note: Also how 55 is 5 + 5 = 10. 5 + 5 can also represent the Meni + Meni = (5 x 10) + (5 x 10) Shekels in Daniel's Hand Writing on the Wall = Scales of Justice. In recent times, the U.S. Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton quoted Daniel's Hand Writing on the Wall and used it against the Syrian President. 5 + 5 = split between the East and the West. This is especially true in our time now with the U.S. and the West on the one hand; and Russia, China and the East on the other.
3) More interesting numbers from the Bible:
a) 6 Days x 24 Hours = 144 Hours. 144 = Righteousness as in the 144,000 Sealed Righteous from the 12 Tribes of Israel. Psalm 119:144 is acrostic with verses 137 to 144 = Hebrew Letter Tsaddi = Righteousness. Tsaddi is the 18th Letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. 18 = Righteousness.
b) The 1st and Last Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet represent the Messiah = Aleph and Tau. Tau = Last and 22nd Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet = 400. 400 = 40 x 10. 400 x 22 = 8800 = 220 x 40.
c) The Months of the Scared Calendar Year of Yahuah when broken down and grouped together based on the 4 Seasons looks like this numerically:
1st Month: 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 = 22.
2nd Month: 2 + 5 + 8 + 11 = 26.
3rd Month: 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 30.
(of Season) ------- --------- -------- -------------- -------
6 15 24 33 = 78
Spring Summer Fall Winter
Note: The Months grouped: 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Months of the Year = Spring; 4th, 5th, & 6th Months = Summer, etc. The First Month of each Season when grouped together: 1st, 4th, 7th, & 10th Month = 22. The Second Month of each Season when grouped together: 2nd, 5th, 8th, & 11th Month = 26. The Third Month of each Season when grouped together: 3rd, 6th, 9th, & 12th Month = 30. All three of these sub-totals added together = 22 + 26 + 30 = 78. All these numbers relate to the Messiah and 26 relates to Yahuah the Father. The number 30 relates to the Messiah's age when he began his ministry. King David was 30 years old when he began to reign. 78 = 3 x 26 where 2 x 26 relates to the Messiah's 1st and 2nd Coming, to his Present and Future Names of Yahuahshua (Salvation) and Yahuahtsadaq (Righteousness) and the 3rd 26 relates to Yahuah the Father.
4) In some way the Last Days has to do with the perfect number 40. In Genesis 6:3 Yahuah limits Man's time to 120 Years. 120 = 40 + 40 + 40. The number 40 is a time of cleansing and a number of completion. Man's timeline is clear from scripture:
Adam to Abraham - 40 x 50 = 2000 Years.
Abraham to the Messiah - 40 x 50 = 2000 Years.
Messiah's 1st to 2nd Coming - 40 x 50 = 2000 Years.
----------- ---------------
120 x 50 = 6000 Years.
We see this pattern again in the life of Moses:
Moses was 120 Years old when he died, just before Israel passed into the Promised Land.
Moses in Egypt - 40 Years.
Moses in Midian - 40 Years.
Moses in the Wilderness - 40 Years.
-------------
120 Years.
5) Here is a wonderful and beautiful way of seeing the 7 Lamp Menorah. There are 3 Lamps on the Left side, 1 center Lamp, and 3 Lamps on the Right side of the Menorah. The center Lamp feeds the other 6 Lamps. Numerically, you can see it this way: 3 - 1 - 3. Now as you look at these numbers, look from the center to the right = 13. Then from the center look to the left = 13. Now add the two numbers together = 13 + 13 = 26! 26 is the numerical value of Yahuah the Father's Name! Yahuah is the center of the Universe!
6) 70 = 26 + 26 + 18.
Usually the number 26 by itself represents Yahuah the Father. While a double 26 (26 + 26) represents the Messiah and completion. For example, 1 Year = 26 Weeks + 26 Weeks = 52 Weeks. And 18 = Righteousness.
7) The Messiah said, "I am the Light of the World" (John 8:12). The Menorah has 7 Lamps. The number 7 represents the Messiah. The Messiah's Present Name of Yahuahshua and his Future Name of Yahuahtsadaq both have 7 Hebrew Letters.
The 1st Tabernacle in the wilderness had only one 7 Lamp Menorah which represented the Messiah's 1st Coming and his present name of Yahuahshua. In Solomon's Temple there were two 7 Lamp Menorahs which represented the Messiah's 1st and 2nd Coming; and his present and future Names. At the Messiah's 1st Coming he came as a sacrificial Lamb and used his present name of Yahuahshua = Yahuah is Salvation = Salvation of Yahuah. At the Messiah's 2nd Coming he will come as the Lion of Yahudah and use his future name of Yahuahtsadaq = Yahuah is Righteousness = Righteousness of Yahuah. Both of the Messiah's two names carry the full power and might of Yahuah the Father's full 4 Letter Hebrew Name of "YAHUAH".
The 1st Tabernacle with 1 Menorah represented the Messiah's 1st Coming = 1st 26 = 1 x 26 = 7 Hebrew Letter Name of Yahuahshua. Solomon's Temple with 1 + 1 = 2 Menorahs represents the Messiah's (1st) + (2nd) Coming = (1st 26) + (2nd 26) = 2 x 26 = (7 Hebrew Letter Name of Yahuahshua) + (7 Hebrew Letter Name of Yahuahtsdaq) = 52. 52 = Completion as 1 Year = (26 Weeks) + (26 Weeks) = 2 x 26 = 52 Weeks. The Spring Feasts in the 1st 26 Weeks of the Year represent the Messiah's 1st Coming and have been fulfilled. The Fall Feasts in the Last and 2nd 26 Weeks of the Year represent the Messiah's 2nd Coming which will be fulfilled when he returns.
The Jews captured Jerusalem in 1967 with access to the Temple Mount where Solomon's Temple once stood. This opens the way to the building of the 3rd Temple and the Messiah's 2nd Coming.
8) 144 = 26 + 26 + 26 + 22 + 22 + 22 = 78 + 66 = 48 + 48 + 48.
66 = 26 + 22 + 18 = 22 + 22 + 22.
9) The Fall Feasts are a block of 22 Days. The 4 High Sabbaths during the Fall Feasts are Highlights. If you take the number of the Day of each of the 4 High Sabbaths and add them up you get: 1 + 10 + 15 = 26; 26 + 22 = 48. Note: Up to the 1st Day of the 7 Day Feast of Tabernacles = 26! The Last Great Day, the Last Day of the Fall Feast Days = 22!
10) 100 = 10 x 10 = (3 x 26) + 22 = 78 + 22.
1000 = 10 x 10 x 10 = (30 x 26) + (10 x 22) = 780 + 220.
10 = Judgment. 26 = Numerical value of Yahuah the Father's Name. 22 = represents the Messiah. 10 x 22 = 220 = Numerical value of the Messiah's Future Name of Yahuahtsadaq. Yahuahtsadaq is the Future Name the Messiah will use during the 1000 Year 7th Millennium when he rules on the Earth and when Satan will be bound for that 1000 Years.
With Yahuah 1 Day is like a 1000 Years, and 1000 Years like 1 Day. The first 6 Days of Creation represents 6000 Years. The Last and 7th Day of Creation was a Sabbath of rest which represents the Last and 7th Millennium from Creation. During the 7th Millennium the Messiah (the Last Adam) will rule for 1000 Years.
11) 78 = 39 + 39 = 3 x 26.
39 = 40 less 1 which represents the Messiah's sufferings for us. For he received 40 less 1 stripes and was crucified for our transgressions that we may have remission of our sins. 3 x 26 = the Family of Heaven = Yahuah the Father + the Messiah + the Holy Spirit of Yahuah, who all carry the Father's Name of Yahuah.
12) 50 = 24 + 26 = 11 + 13 + 26.
11 = Prime number of 22 which represents the Messiah.
13 = Prime number of 26 which represents Yahuah the Father.
24 = the 24 Elders about the Throne of Yahuah.
24 = the 24 coursesof the Levitical Priesthood.
26 = Numerical value of Yahuah's Name.
50 = Jubilee.
Conclusion:
Satan has been booted out of heaven and is now upon the earth. We know this to be true because of the increase in the evil in recent days. Satan knows that he has just a short time left on the earth, so he is making war with the Saints.
"Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child." (Revelation 12:12-13).
"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of the Messiah's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy. If you be reproached for the name of the Messiah, happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of Yahuah rests upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified." (1Peter 4:12-14).
In the Book of Revelation we are given promises if we overcome (Revelation 2:1-29; 3:1-22). But overcome what? The Messiah gives us the answer in John 16:33 where he says, "but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." So the answer is that we have to overcome the world!!! Again, the Messiah says, "And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved (Matthew 10:22)."
The Saints will overcome the world and Satan. Here is how: "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death". (Revelation 12:11). " "Submit yourselves therefore to Yahuah. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to Yahuah, and he will draw nigh to you." (James 4:7-8).
In these Last Days, truly many are the tribulations of the Righteous, but Yahuah delivers him out of them ALL!!!
So be of good courage and "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom (Luke 12:32)." The Angel of Yahuah camps round about them that love Him. His compassions fail not, they are new every morning. This is the Day that Yahuah has made, we shall rejoice and be glad in it. Again, the joy of Yahuah is our strength. As you can see, Yahuah comforts us daily with His Word, His Promises, and by His Holy Spirit.

134.0) 2015 is 2600 Years since the destruction of the 1st Temple in 586BCE:
Introduction:
Today is August 18, 2013 the 30th Day of the 5th Month.
The siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar began in the 9th Year of King Zedekiah in 588BCE on the 10th Day of the 10th Month (Jeremiah 52:4; Ezekiel 24:1; 2Kings 25:1). In scripture the number 10 represents Judgment. The siege of Jerusalem ended in the 11th Year of King Zedekiah in 586BCE on the 9th Day of the 4th Month (2Kings 25:2-3; Jeremiah 39:2; Jeremiah 52:6). According to 2Kings 25:8-9 on the 7th Day of the 5th Month, the 1st Temple and Jerusalem were burnt with fire and the walls broken down. But according to Jeremiah 52:12 this destruction took place on the 10th Day of the 5th Month. In scripture the Number 10 represents Judgment. Since the siege of Jerusalem began on the 10th Day of the 10th Month (Double Judgment). It makes more sense that the actual destruction of the 1st Temple was complete on the 10th Day rather than on the 7th Day of the 5th Month.
Now how does the destruction of the 1st Temple relate to our time now. The Year 2015 will be exactly 2600 Years from the destruction of the 1st Temple!! Do you see the significance of the number 2600? It is 26 x 10 x 10! Note the perfect number 26 which is the numerical value of Yahuah the Father's Name and the 10 x 10 represents Double Judgment! This perfect number of 2600 also points to the Last Days and the Messiah's 2nd Coming!!
Year 2015 is exactly 2600 Years from the Destruction of the 1st Temple and also relates to the Timing for the 2nd Coming of the Messiah:
First, let us make sure that we understand the accuracy for the calculation from the destruction of the 1st Temple in 586BCE to the present. Keep in mind that there is no year Zero ("0"). For example the span of time from 1BCE to 1CE is 1 Year = 1 + 1 - 1 = 1. From 2BCE to 2CE is 3 Years = 2 + 2 - 1 = 3. So from 586BCE to 2015 = 586 + 2015 - 1 = 2600!!
This 2600 Years from the Destruction of the 1st Temple in 586BCE on the 10th Day of the 5th Month to 2015 is a very special and unique Anniversary. The exact date will be on July 27, 2015 on the 10th Day of the 5th Month according to the Sacred Calendar.
We have already noted that 2600 breaks down into the perfect Number 26 of Yahuah's Name plus 10 x 10 which represents Double Judgment. Note also 2600 = 26 x 100's.
We know from previous studies that the Messiah will return on the Feast of Trumpets in the middle of the Year in the Last 6000th Year from Adam. Since 6000 = 122 x 49 + 22 Years, the Last 22 Years have to deal with the Messiah and his return. The numbers 7, 22 and 26 all represent the Messiah. The Last 4 Years of the Last 22 Years will include the 3 1/2 Year Great Tribulation. Then the Messiah will return immediately after the Great Tribulation.
Since the number 22 represents the Messiah we can also relate the 22 Letter Hebrew Alphabet and the Last 22 Years of the 6000 Years from Adam directly to the Messiah. The Messiah's Future Name of Yahuahtsadaq ends with the Hebrew Letter "Qoph" which is the 1st Letter of the 100's series of numerical value in the Hebrew Alphabet. The Messiah's Future Name which consists of 7 Hebrew Letters has a total cumulative value of 220 = 22 x 10 where 22 represents the Messiah and completion; and where 10 represents Judgment.
Now if we take the Last 4 Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet which are the only 4 Letters that represent numerical values in 100's, we get:
Qoph = 100, Resh = 200, Shin = 300, Tau = 400.
Qoph = 1 x 100's, Resh = 2 x 100's, Shin = 3 x 100's, and Tau = 4 x 100's.
Since 2600 Years = 26 x 100's. Do you begin to see the connection?
The 2600 Years from the Destruction of the 1st Temple is pointing to the 1st Year of the Great Tribulation which will begin in the Spring of 2015! All four of the Last 4 Hebrew Letters carry a value of 100's = 10 x 10 = Double Judgment. If you add the value of all 4 of these Last Letters together you get: 100 + 200 + 300 + 400 = 1000 = 10 x 10 x 10 = Triple Judgment!
Now if these Last 4 Hebrew Letters represent the Last 4 Years we can see a few more interesting things. Note the Messiah's Future Name of Yahuahtsadaq ends with the Hebrew Letter "Qoph". The Letter Qoph represents the start of the Great Tribulation. The Messiah's Future Name means Yahuah is Righteous or Righteousness of Yahuah.
The Last 4 Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet represent the Last 4 Years of the Last 22 Years of the 6000 Years from Adam where:
Qoph = 2015, Resh = 2016, Shin = 2017, and Tau = 2018.
Here are more indications that these Years are correct:
1) If you add the Last Digit of each of these 4 Years together you get: 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 26 !!!!!! 5 + 6 + 7 = 18 where 18 = Righteousness and 8 = New Beginning and 18 + 8 = 26. The Messiah's Future Name has the Father's Name of Yahuah = 26 + Righteousness.
2) If you take the Last 2 Digits of each of the Last 4 Years you get:
15 + 16 + 17 + 18 = 66 = 3 x 22. Again we get the perfect number of 22 which represents the Messiah 3 times.
3) If you take All the Digits of each of the Last 4 Years added together you get:
(2 + 15) + (2 + 16) + (2 + 17) + (2 + 18) = 74 = 2 x 26 + 22.
Whenever we get 2 x 26 this represents the Messiah with his Present and Future names of Yahuahshua and Yahuahtsadaq both of which carry the fulness of his Father's Name of Yahuah which has the numerical value of 26. And 22 always represents the Messiah and completion.
4) If you look at the number of the Year 2018, even the Last 2 Digits = 18 = Righteousness.
The Last Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is the Letter "Tau" which is the Last and 22nd Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. The Messiah said that he is the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega; the Aleph and the Tau in the Hebrew Alphabet. The Letter "Tau" is the 22nd and Last Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet and represents the Messiah and completion.
When the Messiah Returns:
In 2Peter 3:13 we read, "We, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness." This promise will be fulfilled when the Messiah returns and establishes his Father's Kingdom on the earth. Satan will be put in chains in the bottomless pit for 1000 Years. Notice again the Last 4 Hebrews Letters add up to 1000 = 10 x 10 x 10 = Triple Judgment. During this 1000 Years, the Messiah will rule on the earth with Righteousness from Jerusalem. The City of New Jerusalem will carry the same future name of Yahuahtsadaq as will the Messiah. At his 2nd Coming the Messiah will use his new name of Yahuahtsadaq = Yahuah is Righteousness = Righteousness of Yahuah.
There are 8 Gates leading into the Old City of Jerusalem today. 3 Gates are to the North (Herod's Gate, Damascus Gate and New Gate); 1 Gate to the West (Jaffa Gate); 2 Gates to the South (Zion Gate and Dung Gate); and 2 Gates to the East (Lion's Gate also called St. Stephen's Gate, and the Golden Gate). The Golden Gate at present is sealed and will only be opened when the Messiah returns at his 2nd Coming. When the Messiah returns he will descend onto the top of the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:11-12). At the Messiah's return the Mount of Olives will cleave in half (Note: the Mount of Olives is on a natural fault line) (Zechariah 14:2-4). The Messiah will come from the East from the top of the Mount of Olives, will go down the Mount of Olives across the Kidron Valley and enter into the Old City of Jerusalem through the Golden Gate.
The Golden Gate used to be lined up with the Front Door of the 1st and 2nd Temples when they still stood. The 2 times in the Year when the Sun lined up with the Golden Gate and the Front Door of the Temple was during the Spring and Fall Equinox. The only one of the 7 High Sabbaths during the Year that lines up with one of these 2 Equinox is the Day of Atonement in the Fall. The next time that the Fall Equinox will line up with the Day of Atonement will be in 2017. In 2017 the Fall Equinox will be on Friday September 22, 2017 after sunset at 22 Hours 2 Minutes Jerusalem Time. The Day of Atonement will start on Friday night after sunset and end on Saturday September 23, 2017 at sunset.
Current Events:
May 18, 2013: Nigeria - Nigeria is one step closer to a cashless society. The Nigerian Government is planning on issuing ID to its citizens which will be directly linked to Financial Services.
June 29, 2013: The World - Activity in the Earth's Core is increasing according to Scientists and Linda at Coast to Coast Radio. Could this be the War in Heaven prophesied with Michael the Archangel fighting against Satan and the Fallen Angels? Satan will be booted out of Heaven and come down to the Earth. Satan will wreak havoc on the Earth for he knows that he has but a short time before the Messiah returns.
July 29, 2013: Jerusalem - on the Sacred Calendar the 10th Day of the 5th Month was on July 29, 2013. The 10th Day of the 5th Month was when the 1st Temple was destroyed in 586BCE. Note: 10th Day of 5th Month = 40th Day of Summer. 10th Day of 5th Month = 130th Day from the 1st Day of the Year from 1st Day of 1st Month. 130 = 5 x 26.
August 8, 2013: The Sun - On Coast to Coast Radio, a guest was predicting scorching heat from the Sun and from Planet X in 2015.
The 7 Spirits of Yahuah and the 7 Lamp Menorah:
The 7 Lamps of Fire before the Throne of Yahuah in Heaven are the 7 Spirits of Yahuah. The Menorah in the 1st Temple represented those 7 Spirits of Yahuah and the Messiah. See Revelation 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6; and Ezekiel 1:13.
More Perfect Numbers:
1) 70 = 22 + 26 + 22 = 26 + 26 + 18.
Conclusion:
Israel will no doubt have a special Anniversary scheduled for the Year 2015 in remembrance of the destruction of the 1st Temple in Jerusalem. But how many can see the true significance of the Year 2015 as the start of the Great Tribulation? 2015 will also be the 70th Anniversary of the dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Japan in 1945. Note: 70 = 22 + 26 + 22 = 26 + 26 + 18.
Note how with all those perfect number combinations that we have discussed, the Last 4 Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet represent the Last 4 Years of 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 locked in as a block of time. These Last 4 Years of the 6000 Years from Adam will include the 3 1/2 Year Great Tribulation. The 2600 Year Anniversary of the Destruction of the 1st Temple in connection with the Last 4 Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet and the Last 4 Years of the Last 22 Years from Adam point to the Year 2015 as the start of the Great Tribulation.
Based on this reasoning, the Great Tribulation will begin in the Spring of 2015 on the 1st Day of the 1st Month on Thursday March 19, 2015. The Great Tribulation will last 3 1/2 Years and will end in 2018 on the 30th Day of the 6th Month on Tuesday September 18, 2018. The Messiah will then return immediately after the Great Tribulation in the Fall of 2018 on the 1st Day of the 7th Month on the Feast of Trumpets on Thursday September 20, 2018.

135.0) War of the Sons of Light versus the Sons of Darkness:
Introduction:
Today is September 18, 2014 the 1st Day of the 7th Month, the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Taruah).
The Sons of Light are those that have and keep alive the Spirit of Yahuah within themselves. They obey and keep the Laws and Commandments of Yahuah. The Sons of Darkness are the spiritually dead who have not the Spirit of Yahuah. The Sons of Darkness are zombies who are overcome by the world and seek only the things of the world. The Righteous overcome the world, even as our beloved Master Yahuahshua did. In John 16:33 we read, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
The Parable in Matthew 25:1-11 talks about the 10 Virgins. 5 of the Virgins were wise, and 5 were foolish. The 5 wise Virgins represent the Sons of Light while the 5 foolish represent the Sons of Darkness. The wise Virgins took oil in their lamps (the Light of the Holy Spirit). While the 5 foolish Virgins are the Sons of Darkness who have not the Light of Yahuah (the Holy Spirit of Yahuah).
In Revelation 12:1-17 we read that there was war in Heaven between Michael the Archangel along with the Angels of Yahuah against Satan and his fallen angels. Michael prevailed and Satan and his fallen angels have been booted out of Heaven. Satan is now on the Earth making War with the Righteous who keep the Laws and Commandments of Yahuah. The War between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness has begun in earnest on the Earth. The return of the Messiah is now imminent.
Satan only comes to destroy and to kill. The Messiah came that we may have life and to have life more abundantly (John 10:10). Satan knows that he has just a short time now. So Satan has intensified his war with the Saints (Revelation 12:17; 13:7).
The events around the world point to the 4th and 5th Seals of Revelation 6:7-11 being now open. The terrorist group ISIS is gaining strength in Syria and Iraq with an estimated strength of about 30,000 fighters. ISIS is also a very serious threat to the rest of the world through their recruits who come from all over the world. Christians are being targeted and persecuted. The Ebola virus is out of control in Africa and spreading. Russia has invaded the Ukraine and threatens to draw in the rest of the world into the conflict. The fighting in Gaza by the Israelis and Palestinians further fuels resentment and anger throughout the Arab world. Things are heating up and the Harvest is ripe!
The Name of Yahuah in Modern Day Jerusalem:
The Holiest site in the whole world is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Jews will not go unto the Temple Mount because it is too Holy. However, there is one spot which is the closest point to the Holy of Holies without going onto the Temple Mount where the women come to pray. This place is in a tunnel that runs along the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) under ground and is about mid way along this wall. This tunnel is only about 10 Feet wide at this point. At this point on the west face of the tunnel, opposite the western wall is Yahuah's Name in 4 Hebrew Letters (Yod, He, Vav, He) and below it is a 7 Lamp Menorah!!!
It is too bad, because those that come here to pray are facing the East (the rising Sun) and have their backs to Yahuah's Holy Name. This insult to Yahuah also happened about 3000 years ago. So it is written in Ezekiel 8:15-18 "And he brought me into the inner court of Yahuah's House, and, behold, at the door of the temple of Yahuah, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of Yahuah, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east." So you see, history repeats itself and things haven't changed over time.
Blood Red Moons in Prophecy and the Return of the Messiah:
One of the signs in the Last Days will be Blood Red Moons before the Great Day of Yahuah come and the Messiah returns.
Joel 2:31 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible Day of Yahuah come." (Joel 1:1-20; 2:1-32; 3:1-21).
Joel 3:13-15 "Put you in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great."
Acts 2:16-21 "But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel: And it shall come to pass in the last days, says Yahuah: . . . . And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable Day of Yahuah come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahuah shall be saved."
Revelation 6:12-17 "And I beheld when he had opened the 6th Seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; . . . . hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
A Blood Red Moon happens when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon during a Total Lunar Eclipse. The occurrence of 4 Blood Red Moons in sequence is a fairly rare event and is now happening. In 2014 and 2015 there will be a sequence of 4 Total Lunar Eclipses called a Tetrad. A Tetrad is a group or collection of 4 of anything. All 4 of these Total Lunar Eclipses will be Blood Red Moons. The 1st one began on April 15, 2014. The 2nd will be on October 8, 2014. The 3rd will be on April 4, 2015. And the 4th and Last will be on September 28, 2015. Note that there will be approximately a 6 Month interval between each of the 4 Total Lunar Eclipses (Blood Red Moons). 6 Months = 26 Weeks and the Sacred Number 26 is the number of Yahuah's Holy Name!!
Keep in mind that a Tetrad of Lunar Eclipses (Blood Red Moons) are relatively rare. From 1600 to 1900 there were no tetrads at all! During the 21st Century there are 8 sets of Tetrads. After 2014/15 the next Tetrad will be in 2032 starting with the 1st Total Lunar Eclipse on April 25, 2032. The next Tetrad after 2032 will be in 2043/44.
Another amazing thing about the 2014/15 Tetrad is that they all fall near or on the Jewish Calendar Holy Days (keep in mind that the Jewish Calendar is a Solar Lunar Calendar):
1) 1st Blood Moon on April 15, 2014 = Jewish Passover April 15-22, 2014.
2) 2nd Blood Moon on October 8, 2014 = Jewish Sukkot (Tabernacles) October 9-15, 2014.
3) 3rd Blood Moon on April 4, 2015 = Jewish Passover April 4-11, 2015.
4) 4th Blood Moon on September 28, 2015 = Jewish Sukkot (Tabernacles) September 28, 2015 to October 4, 2015. (Note: September 28, 2015 will also be a Super Moon).
Note: a Super Moon can be a New or Full Moon closely coinciding with perigree, the moon's closest point to Earth in its orbit. A Super Moon looks larger than normal, and affects the Earth's tides. There are 5 Super Moons in 2014: 2 are New Moons in January 2014, while the other 3 are Full Moons on July 12, August 10 and September 9, 2014. In 2015 there will be 6 Super Moons: January 20, February 18, March 20, August 29, September 28, and October 27, 2015.
Current Events:

November 8, 2013 - Philippines - Typhoon Haiyan hits the Philippines. Typhoon Haiyan is the strongest storm with the strongest winds in recorded history. This deadly storm has left more than 10,000 dead in its wake: with 11 Million people affected leaving 600,000 homeless.
November 15, 2013 - Philippines - Typhoon Haiyan now leaves 2 Million homeless.
November 28, 2013 - Celestial - Comet ISON is on a close encounter with the Sun on November 28, 2013 which is Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.A..

March 1, 2014 - Ukraine - The people of the Ukraine want to be a part of the European Union but the President of the Ukraine refused and sided to join with Russia instead. This has created a crisis. Russia has decided to send Russian troops into the Crimea which is a part of the Ukraine. The Crimea has strategic water ports. Russia supplies all of Europe with natural gas which runs through the Ukraine. If this crisis is not contained, this could create a threat to Global peace. In prophecy Russia and China represent the Kings of the East.
March 29, 2014 - Celestial - Blood Red Moons in 2014 and 2015 on Passover and Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). This is so rare that this has only happened just 7 times since 1CE. 2014 and 2015 will be the 8th time this will occur.

4) Middle East -ISIS, the Islamic State terrorist group is threatening the region around Syria and Iraq with possible strikes within the U.S.A. itself. U.S. may strike back at the roots of ISIS in Syria.
These are all signs that the 4th Seal of Revelation 6:7-8 is now open or opening. The birth pains have begun (Matthew 24:6-8; 32-34).
August 29, 2014 - Africa - Ebola outbreak continues to spread.
August 29, 2014 - Ukraine - Over 1000 Russian troops invade eastern Ukraine with the intention of creating a land bridge from Russia to the illegally obtained Crimea.
More Perfect Numbers:
1) The numerical perfection of the 10 Days leading up to and including the Day of Atonement:
The Messiah will return on the Feast of Trumpets on the 1st Day of the 7th Month. From the Feast of Trumpets to the Day of Atonement are 10 Days, with the Day of Atonement being on the 10th Day of the 7th Month. These 10 Days represent Judgment as the Messiah will Judge the World on the 10th Day, the Day of Atonement. Now if you take the numbers of each of the 10 Days and add them up in sequence, you will get:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55.
55 = 7 + 22 + 26.
Where all three of these perfect numbers of 7, 22 and 26 represent the Messiah.
2) 50 = 11 + 39 = 11 + 13 + 13 + 13 = 24 + 26.
3) 144 = 22 + 22 + 22 + 26 + 26 + 26.
144 = 48 + 48 +48 = 22 + 26 + 22 +26 +22 + 26.
4) 120 = 24 + 48 + 48 =12 + 12 + 22 + 26 + 22 + 26.
5) 1/3 of the Angels are Fallen Angels (Revelation 12:3-4).
Therefore 2/3 of the Angels are True Angels.
2/3 = 66 percent = 3 x 22 = 22 + 22 + 22.
6) 78 = 39 + 39 = 3 x 26 = 26 + 26 + 26.
7) 44 = 18 + 26 = 22 + 22.
Conclusion:
Could the birth pangs felt around the world these days be a prelude to the 3 1/2 Year Great Tribulation or be already a part of it? Could this be the beginning of Sorrows mentioned in Matthew 24:6-12?
Matthew 24:6-12 reads, "And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offened, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."
The Messiah Yahuahshua is the way, the truth and the life and no man comes unto Yahuah the Father but by him (John 14:6). The Messiah also said in John 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." The Messiah is the door keeper in the 7th Hall in the 7th Heaven which leads directly to the Throne of Yahuah in Heaven. Can you now begin to see how precious and critical is Yahuah's Holy Word for Salvation? For the Messiah is the Word of Yahuah. And through the Messiah we have the Spirit of Yahuah. Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Yahuah (Zechariah 4:6).
We have life and the Hope of Eternal Life from Yahuah through His beloved Son Yahuahshua, and by His Holy Spirit. Praise be to Yahuah for His great Love and Mercy. Hallelu Yah, Hallelu Yahuah abinu!!

The Name of
YAHWEH
“My people shall know My Name”
The Name of YHWH (pronounced Yah-whey) was once very greatly revered and acknowledged, so much so that many were named after His Name as a way to show honour and respect. Over the years attempts were made to hide the Name of Yahweh, the practice of speaking out the Name was almost entirely lost as Jewish and Christian religious traditions disregarded speaking the Name of Yahweh. The prophets of Yahweh foretold that would happen, they also foretold that His Name would not always be treated with disregard. Today there is a growing revelation about the restoration of the Covenant Name of Yahweh. Below are Hebrew Names ending in Yah or Yahu, a short abbreviated form of the personal Name of the Creator Yahweh, in English these names end with “iah” or “jah”.

“And Moses said unto Elohim, behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The Elohim of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his Name? What shall I say unto them?” Shemot (Exodus) 3:13
We know from archaeological history that the Name of YHWH was known long before the Israelites were delivered out of Egypt. The Creator of the universe revealed Himself by the Name of Yahweh to Adam and Eve and there has always been a remnant of people who have known the Name of Yahweh and who treasure His Name.
The Scriptures also make it very clear that Abraham knew the Name of YHWH and prayed to YHWH using His ZEKER (Memorial) Name.
“And Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of YHWH it shall be seen.”B’resheet (Genesis) 22:14
We also have archaeological evidence from all over the globe of the Name of YHWH being known throughout the ancient world, from Ebla to New Mexico USA, Paleo Hebrew inscriptions are revealing that YAHWEH is the only One True Elohim.
It is also known that the Name of YHWH is an aspirant, which means that it must be breathed along with being pronounced. To properly understand the revelation of the Name one must say it as it was revealed. While you inhale say the name “YAH”, as you exhale say “WEH”, (pronounced YAH-WHEY). Saying His Name reminds us that YHWH is the Life Giver, His Name represents our life, and our individual spirits.
Imagine the predicament Moshe found himself in when he was to go up to Pharaoh and tell him to let the people of YHWH go. How would Moshe explain that YHWH is the Life Giver? The only One True Elohim? Moshe had much more than a theoretical experience with YHWH, Moshe had seen the Light of Yahweh appear as a flame.
“And the angel of YHWH appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moshe said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when YHWH saw that he turned aside to see, Elohim called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moshe, Moshe. And he said, Hineni. And he said, Do not come closer: take your shoes from off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the Elohim of your father, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon Elohim.” Shemot (Exodus) 3:1-5
Moshe faced a dilemma that each one of us faces when we try to speak the things of YHWH into the material world. How does one go about describing who YHWH is? this is the question Moshe asked of YHWH. Moshe was given the authority of YHWH to speak to Pharaoh, Moshe had the authority of his Father YHWH with him each step of the way, you and I also have the authority of YHWH provided we confess His Name in Truth, according to His Word which is Torah and His Mashiyach. Each of us seems to have a tendency to think, “who am I to speak to Pharaoh?” we know also that by this weakness in our flesh we are flatly denying our Father, which is akin to thinking of ourselves as illegitimate children.
Many people are ashamed to speak the Name of YHWH in circles where it is not traditionally spoken, because of religious traditions. Some religious people are offended to hear someone speak the Name of Yahweh, because of the “fear of man”. We must each as ourselves where our loyalty lies, with man’s religion about Yahweh or according to our own personal and intimate relationship with Him?
I pray that as we learn and live according to the Kingdom of Elohim that we will also see His Word as our guide and delight ourselves in Him more than in any religious traditions about Him. Let’s replace the fear of man with the Fear and Love of Yahweh.
“Now therefore, what have I here, says Yahweh, that My people is taken away for nothing? they that rule over them make them to howl, says Yahweh; and My Name continually every day is blasphemed. Therefore My people shall know My Name: therefore they shall know in that day that I Am He that speaks: behold, it is I. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace; that brings good tidings of good, that publishes salvation; that says unto Zion, Your Mighty One reigns! Your watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when Yahweh shall bring again Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem: for Yahweh has comforted His people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. Yahweh has made bare His Holy Arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our Elohim.” Isaiah 52:5-10
Yahweh says “My people shall know My Name this refers to how we magnify His Name in our hearts and in our lives, we have every reason to rejoice and speak the Name of Yahweh as our Father in Heaven. Regardless of Jewish or Christian religious traditions of men regarding saying the Name of Yahweh it is clear that our Father Himself has a different perspective. We see above that the Name of Yahweh is connected with the revelation of Mashiyach and we know that Zion is the Government of Mashiyach who declared the Name of Yahweh to his people, this was the reason Y’shua was crucified.
A Jewish fairy tale tells of how Y’shua learned the Name of Yahweh in the Temple and then secretly removed the Name of Yahweh outside the Temple and began healing and doing miracles in the Name of Yahweh. The fact of the matter is that Y’shua upbraided the religious traditions of his day, one of those traditions was to hide and conceal the Name of Yahweh from being pronounced.
“Save now, I beseech thee, O Yahweh: O Yahweh, I beseech thee,send now prosperity. Blessed be he that comes in the name of Yahweh:we have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.” Psalm 118:25-26
At the end of his ministry on this earth, when Y’shua was riding up the Kidron valley into Jerusalem there were tens of thousands of people shouting, “Baruch haBa b’Shem Yahweh”. Blessed is he that comes in the Name of Yahweh. Those earliest of followers of Y’shua were persecuted and hated by the religious status quo who had placed a ban (as today) on speaking the Name of Yahweh.
What Y’shua did was circumvent the religious traditions of men so that his people could learn to have a relationship with the Father Yahweh and enter into His Kingdom. Today, the same dynamics are at play. Most people would rather come under religious authority and be accepted by the religious status quo who have banned speaking the Name of Yahweh. So the question is, do we live according to the fear of man, and follow the ban against speaking the Name of Yahweh, or do we take our authority from His Word and His Spirit that tells us to break down all false religious traditions that are meant to cause us to come under the authority of a religious hierarchy of men, rather than Yahweh?
The Name of our Father Yahweh is Holy and Just and Good. I pray that you choose His Ways, rather than a religion about Him.
YHWH be with you,
Baruch Ben Daniel
PRAYER
from the heart
Part 1 – The Concept of Prayer
Prayer is also referred to as, service of the heart, it takes time and commitment each day to stop, meditate and offer honest prayers from the heart to the Almighty Father. Prayer isn’t supposed to be whatever hits the brain, or a list of requests, but rather a spiritual dialogue with Heaven. All of our prayers are going to be different, we are all created uniquely, this is why just praying from a siddur (pray book) or following memorized prayers is only a very small part of the potential of prayer. Don’t you hate those canned prayers that always start with… “Dear Lord, blah, blah, blah… and halfway through you’ve got a good idea how it’s going to end. That’s not prayer, it’s just filling dead air space, or a traditional need to pray at certain times of the day. A lot of people were told how, when and what to pray, then they grew up and taught their children the same traditions, rather than learning how to pray themselves. Prayer is vital, but it’s not cut and dried pre-memorized talk. I also like my food hot, so I’m happy with a short thank you, but after eating it’s also very wonderful to enjoy a time of prayer and thanksgiving.
There are certainly times when we need to make specific prayers, on Shabbat when we read Torah, when we are together in worship with others and those emergency prayers when we have the greatest needs. There are prayers our forefathers have been saying for millennia, they are wonderful, beautiful prayers that are based on Scripture, and we do well to remember these prayers as well, but PRAYER from the heart, is the kind of prayer that Yeshua taught us about.
“But when you pray enter your inner room and close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret and your Father who sees in secret He will reward you in open.” Matthew 6:7
It’s doubtful that many Believers had an “inner room” in their house back then, like an old attic, or study, office, computer or sewing room. The majority of souls lived in very small stone houses, they didn’t have the luxury of privacy as many have today, if you’ve viewed some of the archeological sites in Israel, then you have a good idea that most homes only had one or two rooms. Many houses were simply three walls and roof, they built a house against an available wall, they were small dwellings back then. What Y’shua was teaching us about is intimate personal prayers.
Yeshua set the example for us, “And when he dismissed the crowds, he went up to the mountain alone to pray.” Matthew 14:23, this was something Yeshua did frequently, whether he refers to the “inner room” of a building, a closet, or the inner room of your heart, the principle is the same it’s between us and YHWH. The Master shows us that we not to be distracted by external things, or even by the distraction of putting our minds through “canned prayers” where we can’t have a dialogue in our spirits.
Our Father in Heaven knows our hearts before we pray, but WE also need to hear His Voice. We have a standing offer to enter into the Kingdom of Elohim and know Mashiyach within us, and have Him counsel us regarding our thoughts and needs and the direction of our lives, so we can learn to judge with righteous judgment and have discernment of His Ways.
We need Mashiyach to help us train our thoughts and discipline us according to his Righteousness. Maybe it’s not easy, but it’s not impossible either. During prayer there are times I’ve found myself asking YHWH to forgive my distracting thoughts, but the more we pray and meditate on the Word of YHWH, the less we struggle to keep our minds stayed on Him. When it comes to prayer, we receive much more from our Father than we put in, we hear His Wisdom from outside of time and space and we access knowledge and understanding that is Eternal and Perfect. It’s not just a thing we do, it’s a dialogue we experience, we must hear the Master YHWH speak in our neshama (spirit) when we pray, otherwise we are not really in prayer.
Perhaps the word “PRAY”, doesn’t suggest a dialogue, but it seems that many don’t hear from YHWH because they don’t expect to hear anything! If we have no expectation, why would the Ruach haKodesh (Set Apart Spirit) want to speak to us? What would you think if someone were talking to you as though you were not listening and they poured out their hearts, asked some questions, and then just walked away? At times, having prayer with some “believers” is a waste of time because many have religious traditions about prayer that determines how and when to say prayer, what to say, and where to pray. At times if we want to discuss the things of prayer, some believers get offended, clearly some people know they don’t have a prayer life and they don’t want others to know that. They are offended with the idea of investigating the intimate elements of their prayer life.
YHWH is the Living Elohim, He is our Father, His Mashiyach is our Friend who is closer than a brother. We wouldn’t even treat a stranger with such hostility as some “believers” treat YHWH and His Mashiyach! If we really believe YHWH created us and gave us life, shouldn’t He command the lions share of our lives including our thoughts and words? It is to privilege to pray and meditate on Yahweh’s Word! It’s wonderful to enjoy an entire Shabbat for doing just this, the essence of Shabbat is prayer and hearing from YHWH. The Shabbat is a time to enter in to Mashiyach and experience simcha (joy) and oneg (delight) with the Spirit of YHWH in our souls.
Prayer is never going to be fully satisfying to us unless we walk IN Mashiyach according to the Word of YHWH. We are called to live as Mashiyach lived and be ambassadors for Yeshua as he demonstrated to his talmidim, so prayer without obedience is a sad situation. Obedience means that we keep the Commandments like Yeshua taught.
According to Psalm 110, King David knew Mashiyach, but so did all our Forefathers and each of them prayed to YHWH through Mashiyach. Mashiyach is the Word of YHWH who represents everything in time and space. YHWH is Ein Sof. He is without end. HE is infinite so therefore Mashiyach bridges the gap between infinity and the finite creation. Y’shua is the Torah Mashiyach, it is through Covenant and Righteous Judgment of Torah that we learn about Perfect Justice and in which we can make our appeals to YHWH for direction and discernment. Melech Shlomo wrote,
“He that turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his tefilah (prayer) shall be abomination unto YHWH.” Mishlei/Proverbs 28:9.
If a person has little or no intention of observing YHWH’s Torah, or if they prefer to live in willful sin, prayer is going to be an inconvenient thing to do because it will bring very little joy. If we don’t do YHWH’s will there isn’t much point in making long prayers. YHWH knows our hearts and thoughts, prayer is meant to grow our spiritual man, not a way of excusing sin or being forgiven of sin.
Part 2 – How to Pray
Prayer is a dialogue, so we must also learn how to listen. Liturgy and use of a Siddur can bring joy and peace from the Ruach, and praying both individually and corporately can focus our minds on YHWH. But we must guard ourselves from falling into the trap of putting a ceiling on our prayers. Throughout Yeshua’s life he lived and taught a lifestyle of freedom, justice and righteousness for everyone. Yeshua taught us that the Way of YHWH is Judgment (Justice), Mercy and Faith, and that we are to show love and compassion to others beyond any religious or traditional values man had previously known. Yeshua taught his talmidim to make prayer to “our Father” and His Father YHWH, never to himself. He taught us that His Father is accessible and has created us in His Image, so that we are called to be like Him spiritually, and seek His wisdom for our own lives and others. Yeshua prayed daily and he taught his disciples how to pray.
Rav Shaul (Apostle Paul) spoke of praying in Messiah’s stead (2 Corinthians 5:20) and that we are “ambassadors of Mashiyach“. The Ruach haKodesh communicates to us according to prayer. Prayer denotes a spiritual level of communication, our neshama (spirit) also connects with our soul (nephesh), and as we pray we send and receive spiritual messages that our souls encode. Because of our Father’s Mercy He makes Himself available to all of us, unless we have habitually spurned our Father and repeatedly break His Word and choose to neglect Him and avoid Him.
From New Testament writings, at the stoning of Stephen, theologians have made up doctrines that prayer to Yeshua was normal among his disciples. Stephen had just finished informing his accusers that he “saw the Glory of Elohim and Y’shua standing at the Right Hand of Elohim“, the next thing he saw was a stampede of religious fanatics coming at him, to kill him. Put yourself in Stephen’s shoes, if you can. Stephen didn’t say he saw a vision, he said he saw “the Glory of Elohim and Y’shua…” Imagine that like Stephen, you lived and learned directly from Y’shua Mashiyach, but then Mashiyach was put to death by religious fanatics, yet you still walked with him inside of you. If you were Stephen, and you saw him next to “the Glory of Elohim”, how would you respond? “YESHUA! IT’S YOU!” Whether you lived or died at the moment wouldn’t be a big deal, your spiritual eyes saw outside of time and space, you know Mashiyach and nobody can change your mind! So then Stephen prays,
“Our Master Y’shua receive my spirit“, and
“Our Master do not cause this sin to stand against them!”
But of course when Stephen was saying this, he was in the middle of being murdered for his Faith in Yeshua! So for Stephen to cry out “Our Master Y’shua receive my spirit!“, should be of no surprise! But then religious folk made a doctrine about this is being evidence that we should pray to Yeshua. No, that is simply religious tradition, again trying making a physical body into a spiritual being. It’s not every day that someone is recorded praying as they are getting murdered, especially right after seeing Y’shua at the Right Hand of Elohim.
As Y’shua taught us, we pray to Yahweh as our Forefathers and the Prophets have done from the beginning of time. Now that Mashiyach has been revealed, we come to YHWH in the name of Y’shua because he made the perfect offering for our transgressions. It’s really not as complicated as a lot of people make it out. The Father YHWH knows the end of all things from the beginning. He knew His only begotten Son would triumph as the Son of Man. Yeshua taught his disciples not to pray to him.
“And in that day you will not ask me anything. Amen, amen I say to you that everything that you ask of my Father in my name, He will give it to you!” John 16:23
Yeshua asked his Father to forgive those who tortured him and those who put his body up on the stake. By praying to YHWH in the name of Yeshua we are recognizing the awesome value that our Father has put upon our lives, the redemption price He paid for us cannot be matched by anything else on earth or in heaven. Mashiyach Y’shua came to redeem YHWH’s people, this is also how we have the confidence that our prayers will be heard. See how much our Father YHWH has loved us.
What Y’shua did for us was to release us from the bonds of man made religion and paganism. Y’shua opened up the Kingdom of Heaven so that you and I could pray and seek the Father and hear His Voice. If we all could hear the Father and we all chose to love Him and be obedient children there would be no such thing as poverty and wars on this earth. Religion either tells us how to pray or what YHWH says to us according to religious traditions. It is common in some circles to “hear the Word of the Lord” but in these same circles obedience to Torah is strictly prohibited and not discussed. Religion has put a cap on peoples individual relationship with the Father which is why YHWH tells us to come out of religion (Revelation 18:4).
There are things that we will only understand after we have chosen obedience to the Word of Yahweh, we can pray all we want, as long as we want, we can climb concrete or stone stairs on our knees until they bleed but that isn’t going to draw us closer to the Father. When we are obedient we draw closer to the heart of the Father and we hear His voice louder and clearer. When we resist religious traditions that stroke the carnal religious flesh then we make room for a relationship with the Father. Let’s face it, religious traditions are only done to “fear men” or be accepted by the status quo, and those religious traditions are very often the trade off that people make rather than hearing the Father’s voice in their lives.
Yeshua said, “Therefore, you pray like this:
Our Father in heaven Hallowed be Your Name Your kingdom come Your will be done As in heaven so on earth Give us the bread of our need this day And forgive us our offences as we also have forgiven those who have offended us. And not bring us into trial, but deliver us from the evil one for Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.” Matthew 6:9-13
Within this beautiful prayer we approach the Creator of the Universe as our Father and we Set Apart His Name as we begin to pray. Our Father has a Kingdom that is not of this world, His Kingdom is within us when we pray and recognize His Voice. Our Father’s will is revealed in His Word which is Torah. Without having Torah written upon our hearts we will never know His will, we will only know some religious ideas about what others think His will is. As in heaven so on earth tells us that Heaven is His throne and that earth is where we His people are to become subject to His Torah and His Mashiyach.
He gives us the bread of our need each day and He ministers to us by His Spirit and causes us to be conscious of our offences towards Him and one another so that we can make forgiveness and restitution and atonement. We pray that he not have to bring us into trial for our disobedience and lack of ability to hear His Voice. We know that if we choose to ignore the Spirit of the Living Elohim in our lives that YHWH might well choose to send the evil one to make trouble for us and cause us to return to YHWH. At times we are buffeted by messengers of YHWH to help us stay on the paths of righteousness.
Ultimately whether we stay strong and free in YHWH and keep His Commandments and delight in Him or whether we fall short and need disciplining we recognize that YHWH is the Kingdom and Power and Glory and there is no other Father and Creator but He alone.
We’re not going anywhere in this life without prayer and hearing from the Father!
May our prayers be as the morning and evening sacrifices unto YHWH
that are ordered and presentable, and pleasing unto him,
as a sweet smelling aroma, even like incense.
May our prayers be acceptable and pleasing to YHWH.
Amen
Shalom U’Vrachot

Let everything that has breat
Praise YHWH!
Praise and worship gives us a true perspective of Who Yahweh is
in our lives and who we are in Him.
Praise and worship to our Father YHWH connects our Spirits in the Ruach HaKodesh (Set Apart Spirit) of the Father in an amazing way. When we desire to grow our Faith we also learn to delight we see unlimited ways of giving Praise and Worship unto our Master YHWH. Praise comes about by seeing the Hand of Yahweh in everything and knowing His Truth and Authority of His Word and that He is YHWH, Master of the Universe, a loving Father who delights in blessing His children, a rewarder of all who diligently seek Him.
Each of us is a “tabernacle” or “sanctuary” in Mashiyach where we are accepted and able to hear from Him. As the Spirit of YHWH was poured through David he wrote his experience in our Father YHWH and shared the Goodness, Majesty and Justice of YHWH that also transformed his own life. Praise to our Father YHWH flows through each of us who study Him and pursue Him.
Study is the highest form of worship unto YHWH
Studying the Word of YHWH enables us to enter in, and see His attributes begin to change us. Studying Torah and the Words of Yeshua gives the Ruach HaKodesh opportunity to confirm the Word of YHWH in our hearts and transform our thoughts to His thoughts within us. The Word of YHWH is His Spirit that lives inside of us as we learn and study His Word. As we study we recognize that His Ruach HaKodesh (Set Apart Spirit) speaks to our minds and helps us overcome the things in our life that we struggle to overcome. Consider that,
“For the Word of Elohim is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12
As we read and study and apply the Word of YHWH to our lives we grow in a dialogue with His Spirit within us, there is no substitute for hearing the Father’s Voice for ourselves. We must train our spirits to learn how to hear His Voice and we all have the capabilities to do so. So let’s see what the spirit inside of us does with this verse,
“He that turns away his ear from hearing the Torah,even his prayer shall be an abomination.”
Proverbs 28:9
What are your thoughts? Have you turned your ear away from hearing? Have you followed a religion that tells you that Torah is done away with? It’s not for today? Perhaps you can see a dichotomy between the Word of YHWH, the wisdom of His Word and what religions teach. YHWH’s Word is very often the opposite of what religions teach, this is why many people struggle to hear His Voice.Every religion has teachings that cause people to turn their ears away from hearing Torah. Judaism has elevated the traditions of the rabbis over the simplicity of Torah, Christians are taught to reject “Old Testament Law” and most have never been shown that Torah means “instruction in righteousness”, not “law”. Nevertheless, each of us is able to search these things out and this is a most important and necessary form of praise and worship to the Father. When we study His Word we draw close to Him and we also have the opportunity to ask Him to speak to our souls, to forgive us, to help us, to guide us. When we love our Father in Heaven enough to study and live according to His Word this is how we worship Him, and this is how we delight in Him. It’s a matter of truth rather than religious tradition. It’s a matter of having a relationship with the Father rather than hearing more religious ideas about Him.
YHWH is Faithful and Righteous and worthy of our worship to Him.
YHWH be with you,
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch Ben Daniel
Religious or Regenerated?
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto His disciples,
Why does your Master eat with the publicans and sinners?
But when Yeshua heard this, He said unto them,
They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
But go ye and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice:
For I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Matthew 9:11-13
They that be Tamiym, (perfect or complete) need not a Physician, but they that are sick. True enough some of us are more prone to sickness than others, but the fact remains we’ve all been sick… even if it’s only been a little sniffle. So, for those who deny their need of Yeshua as Saviour and Mashiyach there’s not a lot one can say, maybe we could show them through the Eser HaDibrot, “The 10 Words”, the “Big Ten”… plainly understood as “The Ten Commandments”, if they haven’t violated any of these, then maybe they’re good to go, but maybe not.
If someone even thinks about violating one of the Ten Commandments, they’ve already proven their need of Redemption. Let’s say we’re on the Road to Redemption, we confess all our sins and accept the Arm of YHWH revealed in Mashiyach Yeshua, what then? No more sinning?… nothing? That’s impossible, the fact of the matter is once we understand what sin is, the “darn stuff” seems to pop up in more places! Our senses become sharpened, the Ruach of YHWH convicts us when we’ve “missed the mark”. Sometimes if we don’t hurry to set things right, YHWH takes us on a trip to “the woodshed”, we feel separated from Him, our Joy is gone, we grieve, we sorrow, we are miserable because we know we need atonement (restoration). The question is how do we go about being restored to YHWH and to each other?
We all have two basic options if we want to make things right. We either look for a doctrinal religious theological solution, or, we bring our souls before YHWH and cry out to Him asking Him for forgiveness and how to make restitution to those we’ve violated. The religious doctrinal fix is a fairly painless way to go, just tell your pastor, priest or rabbi what happened, he’ll likely wag his head a few times, then he’ll hold your hand, give you a dissertation about the Wonderful Love of YHWH and send you away.
Well, maybe you might drop a few sheqalim (dolleros) into the religious coiffures, and then you’re free to go. The BIG problem with this scenario is that YHWH says that whenever one of us trespasses against someone else, we are also trespassing against Him.
And YHWH spoke unto Moshe, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against YHWH, and that person be guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he has trespassed. But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto YHWH, even to the priest;B’midbar (Numbers) 5:5-8
Being restored unto YHWH and His Mashiyach requires that we confess our sins one to an other and pray for one another, but also requires that we make restitution to the one who was injured. We must restore the principle amount of the damages and “add unto it the fifth” part thereof. This is how YHWH instructed us to also show the injured party we are truly repentant for what we did and make it right by them. Of course there are many factors in Yeshua Mashiyach that help us to make restitution, our calling in Him as Priests and Kings, helps us to Sanctify His Name. When we trespass against someone else as His Followers, we risk jeopardizing the Testimony of Mashiyach, true disciples are not to be going about misrepresenting their Master. Some people might be tempted to conclude that our Master is not doing anything about our violation of His Word and His Standards! Being regenerated in Him according to His Word provides us with an opportunity to testify that we are in fact following a Righteous Master, because although others may not provide restitution, WE WILL! Being restored according to Torah requirement also provides and opportunity for the Spiritual Gifts in us to be stirred up to advance His Kingdom. The regeneration in our souls sees and admits to our short comings, we see our frailty, but we also see how Righteousness is establishing itself within our soul, so we don’t continue in sin any more
A religious person can easily continue in sin because his religion impersonalizes his sin, and he turns it into a theology about sin. Religion provides many formulae to deny sin, theology itself gets elevated as the standard, therefore Faith is not a brotherhood with each other in Yeshua or a relationship with the Master, it’s an “intellectual” commodity.
Knowing Yeshua Mashiyach is our opportunity to have Mashiyach Himself live inside of us and uphold us and strengthen our lives, we will not fall because we know He is with us each day. This is another reason why it is so important to be lovers of Torah, the Word of YHWH. The Torah requires, B’midbar (Numbers) 15, that we tie a blue thread into our tzit tzit (fringes). We are required to have these tzit tzit (strings) as a reminder to train our hearts to be loyal to YHWH. In His Mercy YHWH gave us this Commandment so that we would not be trapped and fall by our hearts wandering away from Him. But really, I don’t know how many times I’ve heard religious people say something like, “tzit tzit aren’t going to stop me from sinning”.
I find that a very sad confession, you can’t argue with someone who says something like this, because NOTHING is going to STOP them from sinning, they’ve already decided they’re are going to keep right on sinning regardless of how we or the Spirit of YHWH tries to help them. That is what their religion tells them, doesn’t it? Where do you think they would get such an idea? Tzit Tzit are a simple act of FAITH, we wear Tzit Tzit because YHWH told us to, as a way to remind us who we are. It’s also a beautiful way to remember our brothers who also wear tzit tzit, we know they’re taking their walk in Yeshua seriously, we do Torah so we don’t fritter away Yeshua’s blood.
Some people think that all their righteousness is filthy rags, based on this thinking it’s they are helpless sinners who can never get a grip. Sadly, these folks have never learned the fact that both in Tanakh and the New Testament the dichotomy between the spiritual and carnal man is addressed. In our carnal flesh yes indeed, all our “righteousness” is as filthy rags, but in our spiritual man, regenerated in Y’shua our love of His Torah is His Righteousness birthed within us. A beautiful magnificent promise, this is why Yahweh Tsidkenu (Yahweh our Righteousness) is a title of YHWH that is fulfilled in Mashiyach Y’shua. The regenerated soul walks in Torah, having a circumcised heard, and carefully observes all these things YHWH has commanded us to do, because EVERYTHING YHWH commanded us, is done in Yeshua Mashiyach. Yeshua is THE LIVING WORD of YHWH, HE is altogether Righteous and he strictly commanded us regarding the ‘WEIGHTIER MATTERS OF TORAH”
Judgment Faith Mercy
Judgment is committed to us who follow Yeshua, we are required to JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY, we cannot help but Judge because this is an office given to us. We must take up this responsibility each of us, we cannot look to others who are outside of the Body of Mashiyach to Judge either us, or our Faith. We must establish YHWH’s Judgments in our lives for ourselves and others. We must know that YHWH’s Judgments are altogether Righteous, there are no Higher Judgments on earth, or in Heaven that what YHWH has provided in His Word. Faith is our walk, Faith is doing Torah, Faith is putting on tzit tzit and not sinning, Faith is Believing that YHWH is a Wonderful Father who is a Rewarder of Those who Diligently Seek Him! Faith is our Action. Faith is proving to YHWH, ourselves and others that we have passed from Death to Life, we are REGENERATED. Faith is not a theology or a religion, even a belief. FAITH is doing, walking in HIM, praying, Living for Him, loving His Commandments, and putting away the carnal man.
Mercy because this is the Character of YHWH and His Mashiyach, without mercy there is no regeneration of our souls. Mercy does not overlook sin and transgression, it recognizes that we are not skillful enough sometimes to hit the mark, so we sin. Mercy says though you might fall down, you will always still be worth picking up. Your Soul, your Life and Your Destiny in YHWH is secure. NOTHING will bring you down if you walk in YHWH and His Mashiyach. The Mercy YHWH has demonstrated to us provides us with full confidence that He forgives Sin and restores us back to Himself. If we are wise, we will Go to Him for Mercy, His mercy is authentic. Man has a tendency to put forth sentiments and emotion and call this mercy, but true mercy requires sacrifice, this is why Yeshua is the door to Life. Yeshua made the ultimate sacrifice because He was sinless, the charges put against Him were made out of nothing but fear and envy. YHWH made Yeshua the acceptable sacrifice, as the Mercy SEAT in the Kadosh Kadoshim (Set Apart of Set Apart place) is made out of pure GOLD, so is the Mercy YHWH extends to all who come to Him with a broken and contrite heart.
Halleluyah!”So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My Mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
Halleluyah!
“Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”Psalm 119:105
Halleluyah!
“The Torah of YHWH is perfect, converting the soul:the Testimony of YHWH is sure, making wise the simple.The Statutes of YHWH are right, rejoicing the heart:the Commandment of YHWH is pure, enlightening the eyes.The Fear of YHWH is clean, enduring for ever:the Judgments of YHWH are true and righteous altogether.More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.Moreover by them is thy servant warned:and in keeping of them there is great reward. Psalm 19:7-11
Halleluyah!
NOW, let’s THROW RELIGION OUT THE WINDOW permanently
so we can walk in YHWH’s
TORAH, TESTIMONY, STATUTES, COMMANDMENT, FEAR and JUDGMENTS!
We Don’t NEED Religion or any other thing,if we have Yeshua Mashiyach and YHWH’s TORAH!”
O give thanks unto YHWH; for He is good: for His mercy endures for ever.”Psalm 136:1
Yahshua As Yahweh
Prophets And Apostles Affirm The Elohim-ness Of The Messiah
© 2005 by MattithYah Coover, www.RealMessiah.Name
Exod. 3:14 Elohim said to Moses, "I Am who I Am. Thus shall you say to the children of Yisrael, 'I Am has sent me to you.... [15] Yahweh Elohim of your fathers...has sent me to you. This is My Name forever and this is My remembrance to all generations.'"
Deut. 18:18 (And) I shall raise up for them a Prophet like you out of the midst of their brothers, and I shall put My Words in His mouth and He shall speak to them all that I command Him, [19] and it shall be, the man who does not listen to My Words which He speaks in My Name, I will require it of Him.
Ever since this only begotten Prophet appeared in first century Judea, however, debates have arisen and man has striven with man over who He really was. Indeed, for the overwhelming majority, it appears that His words ring true.

Matt. 10:34 Think not that I have come to bring peace on earth; I did not come to bring peace but a sword, [35] for I have come to bring division, a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, [36] and a man's enemies are they of his own household."

For over two-thousand years now this battle has been waged, a battle concerning His alleged "Elohim-ness" or "deity", and today as at no other time in history, a call is being proclaimed aloud to which the ambassadors of truth are obliged to answer. The issue which the question centers around is 1) whether Yahshua pre-existed, and 2) whether He, in His preexistent state, was the "I AM" or Yahweh of the First Testament. Do the Hebrew Scriptures teach that Yahshua is Yahweh? More importantly, can it be shown from the Hebrew Scriptures that Yahshua MUST be Yahweh to be Messiah?
Those denying Yahshua's Elohim-ness postulate that Yahweh is an absolute unity, that He cannot be tempted, and that He cannot die, and upon these three supposedly "implicit proofs", they conclude that Yahshua cannot be Yahweh. Scripture, in contrast, proclaims that Yahweh is an ECHAD or composite unity (Deut. 6:4, Prov. 30:4, Isa 44:6), that Yahweh CAN be tried or tested (Exod. 17:7; Num. 14:22,23; Deut. 6:16; Psa. 78:18,41,56; 95:9; 106:13), and that an ASPECT of Yahweh can die which has assumed human flesh (Psa. 22:16, Zech. 12:10, Lk. 24:36-39). Based on the aforesaid assumptions, however, an alarming number of Christian and Messianic believers now claim that it is impossible for Yahshua to be Yahweh, as they ignore the "proofs by necessary inference" or straight forward Scriptural facts which leave room for no other legitimate explanation.

 

NECESSARY INFERENCE PROVES YAHSHUA IS YAHWEH

YAHSHUA IS THE ETERNAL
Isa. 44:6 Thus says Yahweh, Sovereign of Yisrael, AND His Redeemer, Yahweh of Hosts): "I am ALEPH TAW (the Beginning and Ending), besides Me there is no Elohim.
Rev. 1:17b Do not be afraid, I am the Beginning and the Ending (ALEPH TAW), [18] and the Living One. And I became dead, and see, I am living forever and ever...and I possess the keys of the grave and of death.

Truth by necessary inference: Yahweh professes Himself to be the all-encompassing and only Elohim or Deity. Yahshua professes Himself to be the beginning, ending, and presently existing one. Therefore Yahshua must be Yahweh if He is Messiah, seeing that He claims the position of the Eternal.

YAHSHUA IS CREATOR
Isa. 44:24 Thus said Yahweh, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb, "I am Yahweh that makes all things, stretching out the heavens all alone, spreading out the earth by Myself."
Job 9:2 ...How is man right with Elohim... [8] stretching out the heavens by Himself?...
Neh. 9:6 Thou, thou Yahweh alone, thou hast made the heavens...with all their host, the earth and all that are on it, the seas and all that are in them, and You give life to them all. And all the hosts of the heavens worship You.
Psa. 33:6 By the Word of Yahweh the heavens were made, and all their host by the Spirit (RUACH) of His Mouth.
Sirach 43:23 By His plan he stilled the deep and planted islands in it... [26] because of Him each of His Messengers succeeds, and by His Word all things hold together. (Apocrypha)
Jhn. 1:3 In the beginning was the Word, and that Word was with Elohim, and Elohim was that Word. [2] This was in the beginning with Elohim. [3] Everything through His Hands existed, and without Him not even one thing existed of the things which have existed... [10a] He was in the world, and the world by His Hand existed. --Younan's Peshitta Interlinear Version (YPIV) adapted
Col. 1:16 Because in Him (Yahshua) were created all that are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible....all have been created through Him and for Him. [17] And He is before all, and in Him all hold together... [19] Because in Him all the fullness of Elohim was pleased to dwell.
Heb. 1:2b ...His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all, through whom also He made the worlds, [3] being the exact representation of His substance, and sustaining all by the Word of His power... [8] To the Son He says, "Your throne O Elohim, is forever and ever, a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your reign.... [10] And You, Yahweh, did found the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of Your Hands."
Eph. 3:9 ...This secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in Elohim who created all things through Yahshua the Messiah.

Truth By Necessary Inference: The Tanakh (Hebrew First Covenant) teaches us that Yahweh Created the world by Himself, while the Apostolic Scriptures teach us that the world was created through Yahshua and for Yahshua. Therefore Yahshua must be Yahweh as the creating force/Word which proceeded from the Father's mouth, or else in claiming the position of "Creator", He spoke false words.

YAHSHUA IS CALLED RABBI / TEACHER
In the book of Isaiah we find a promise which speaks of all Israel being taught by Yahweh.

Isa. 54:13 Your children (will) all (be) taught by Yahweh, and the peace of your children (will be) great.

The prophet, Joel, similarly states:

Joel 2:23a And you children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in Yahweh your Elohim, for He shall give you the Teacher of Righteousness.

Yahshua, referring to this prophecy, says:

Jhn. 6:45 It has been written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by Yahweh'. Everyone then who has heard from the Father and learned, comes to Me."
Matt. 23:8 You do not be called Rabbi (Great One / Teacher), for One is your Rabbi, the Messiah, and you are all brothers.
Jhn. 13:13 You call me Rabbi/Teacher and Master, and you say well, for I Am.

The prophets foretold of a time when all would be taught by Yahweh, and Messiah Yahshua clearly identifies Himself as being this Rabbi/Teacher who was referenced in the prophets.
Truth By Necessary Inference: Tanakh and Yahshua both teach that Yahweh is the only Great One/Rabbi/Teacher. Therefore Yahshua must be an aspect/element/dimension of Yahweh to be Messiah, or else in claiming the title "Rabbi/Teacher", He spoke false words, and contradicted Himself.

YAHSHUA IS JUDGE
Isa. 33:22a Yahweh is our Judge...
Isa. 3:13 For Yahweh shall stand up to plead, and is standing to judge the peoples.
Psa. 75:7 Elohim is the judge: He puts down one, and exalts another.
Psa. 50:6 And the heavens shall declare His righteousness: for Elohim is judge Himself. Selah.
Psa. 96:10 Say among the nations that Yahweh reigns from the wood:* the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: He shall judge the people righteously. * 1 C.E. Manuscripts, as quoted by Origen, Justin Martyr, et al
1Chr. 16:33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of Yahweh, because He cometh to judge the earth.
Psa. 98:9 For Yahweh shall come to judge the earth: with righteousness He shall judge the world, and the people with equity. (cf. 96:13)
Isa. 11:1 And a Rod shall come forth from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. [2] And the Spirit of Yahweh shall rest upon Him, - the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh. [3] And He shall make Him breathe in the fear of Yahweh. And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears. [4] But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and shall decide with equity for the meek ones of the earth, and shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and slay the wrong with the breath of His lips.
Jhn. 5:22 For the Father judges no man, but has given all judgement to the Son.
2Tim. 4:1 ...The Master, Yahshua the Messiah, who shall judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His reign...
Acts 17:31 Because He has set a day in which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has appointed, having given proof of this to all by raising Him from the dead.

Tanakh teaches us that Yahweh is Judge Himself, while the apostles teach that Yahweh has committed all judgment to the Son. What the Scriptures teach us in this case, is that the Son must be ECHAD/united with the Father in the singular Being of Yahweh, who says that He will judge the world HIMSELF, and not through another.

YAHSHUA IS LAWGIVER
Isa. 33:22a ...Yahweh is our Lawgiver...
Exod. 20:5 For I, Yahweh your Elohim, am a jealous El, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, [6] But showing kindness to thousands of those who love Me and guard My commands. (cf. Deut. 5:9,10)
Gen. 49:10 The scepter shall not turn aside from Yahudah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him (Messiah) shall be the obedience of the peoples.
Matt. 28:18 And Yahshua came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. [19] Therefore go and make taught ones of all the nations....[20a] teaching them to guard all that I have commanded you."
Matt. 5:17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah (Law) or the Prophets; I did not come to destroy, but to establish.
Jhn. 8:31 If you continue in My Word, you are truly my taught ones, [32] and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
Jhn. 14:15 If you love Me, you shall guard My commands.

Truth By Necessary Inference: Yahshua calls Yahweh's Torah "My Word" and "My Commands". Further, His statement that "All authority is given Me in heaven and on earth" (Matt. 28:18) is blasphemy, unless he is Yahweh under veil of human flesh, because Yahweh said, "Place no elohim (deities) before me", and if Yahweh now gave Yahshua all power in heaven and earth, without Yahshua being a part of Himself, He placed an elohim above Himself, disobeying His own command.

YAHSHUA IS SOVEREIGN
Isa. 33:22b ...Yahweh is our Sovereign.
Matt. 28:18-19 And Yahshua came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."
Mark 15:2 And Pilate asked Him, "Are you the Sovereign of the Jews?" and He, answering, said unto him, "You say it!"
Jhn. 18:33 (Pilate) called Yahshua and said to Him, "Are you the Sovereign of the Jews?"... [37b] Yahshua answered, "My reign is not of this world...." [38] Then Pilate said unto Him, "You are a Sovereign then?" Yahshua answered, "You say it, because I am a Sovereign. For this cause I was born, and for this have I come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice."

Truth by necessary inference: Yahshua professes to be the King of Israel who has come into the world, whose kingdom exceeds earthly bounds. Such an inference is blasphemy unless Yahshua is Yahweh, who alone holds eminent domain.
YAHSHUA IS THE ROCK
Isa. 44:7 Who is like Me (declares Yahweh)? Let him call and declare it, and lay it before Me, since I appointed the everlasting people and the events that are coming... [8] ...Is there an Eloah (Deity) besides me? There is no other Rock; I know not one."
1Cor. 10:1 For I do not wish you to be ignorant brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, [2] and all were immersed into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, [3] and all ate the same spiritual food, [4] and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed, and the Rock was the Messiah.

YAHSHUA IS ISRAEL'S HUSBAND
Jer. 3:1 Yahweh said, If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him and becomes another man's, does he return to her again? Would not that land be made greatly unclean? But you have committed whoring with many lovers. And would you return to Me? declares Yahweh.... [8] And I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce...
Isa 54:5. For your Maker is your husband, Yahweh of Hosts is His Name, and the Set-Apart One of Israel is your Redeemer. He is called the Elohim of all the earth. [6] For Yahweh has called you like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a wife of youth when you were refused, declares your Elohim.

From this it is therefore evident that Israel is married to Yahweh. Now what else can we find?

Jhn. 1:29 Yahshua is the Lamb of Yahweh
Rev. 21:9 Israel is The Lamb's Wife.

Mt 22:1-14, 25:1-13; Yahshua identifies Himself as Israel's Husband.  

 
Therefore Israel is married to Yahshua. Is this not what the prophets spoke of long ago?
Zech. 2:10 Sing and rejoice O daughter of Zion. For behold, I am coming , and shall dwell in your midst, declares Yahweh. [11] And many nations shall be joined to Yahweh in that day, and they shall become My people. And I shall dwell in your midst, and you shall know that Yahweh of Hosts has sent me to you.
Zech. 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Tziyon. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! See, your Sovereign is coming to you, He is righteous and endowed with deliverance, humble and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Isa 62:5. For as a young man marries a maiden, so shall your Sons/Son marry you. And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your Elohim/Eloah rejoice over you.... [11] ...Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation (YASHA) has come...

Truth by necessary inference: Unless Yahshua is an aspect or dimension of Yahweh, He is married to His Father's wife, which is both adultery and incest. Therefore unless Yahshua is Yahweh, He can neither be Messiah, nor can the apostolic writings be the Father's Word.

WALKING ON THE WATER
Job 9:4a Yahweh, wise in heart and mighty in strength... [5a] He who removes mountains, and they do not know it... [6] who shakes the earth out of its place and its columns tremble, [7] who commands the sun, and it does not rise; and He seals up the stars, [8] stretching out the heavens by Himself, and treading upon the waves of the sea.... [19a] If I speak of power, look He is mighty.
Mat. 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Yahshua went to (the disciples), walking on the sea. [26] And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea they were troubled, saying, "It is a phantom!" And from fear they cried out. [27] But immediately Yahshua spoke to them saying, "Take courage. I AM (Aramaic, ENA-NA -- a term reserved exclusively for Yahweh). Be not afraid." (cf. Mark 6:48-50)
Job identifies Yahweh as mighty in strength and possessing power to walk on the waves of the sea, because He created them. Yahshua not only does this very thing to reveal His identity, but afterwards proclaims Himself as "ENA-NA", or "I AM" which is an Aramaic term reserved exclusively for Yahweh.
YAHSHUA IS THE LION OF JUDAH

In the book of Revelation, John writes:

Rev. 5:5 Do not weep. See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame to open the scroll and to loosen its seven seals. [6]. And I looked and saw....a Lamb standing, as having been slain.... [9] And they sang a renewed song, saying, "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals, because you were slain, and have redeemed us to Elohim by your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, [10] And made us sovereigns and priests to our Elohim, and we shall reign upon the earth.

Who is this Lion of Judah? We first see that He is the Root of David, and second that He is also a Lamb, alluding to the important role He will play in establishing peace in the Kingdom to come.

Isa. 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.... [10] And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse standing as a banner to the people, and unto Him shall the gentiles (or nations) seek...

Lastly we find that the Lion of Judah has been slain and redeemed all nations under heaven by His blood. Who is this Lion of Judah? Since Scripture is a continuous chronology, would we not find our answer in the Tanakh (Hebrew First Covenant)?

Hos. 11:10 Let them follow Yahweh. Like a LION He roars....
Hos. 5:14 "For I am like a Lion to Ephraim, and a young Lion to the house of Judah (says Yahweh). [15] I shall go, I shall return to My place until they confess their guilt and seek My face, in their distress diligently search for Me, and say, [6:1] 'Come, and let us turn back to Yahweh. For He has torn but He does heal; He has stricken but He binds up.'"
Joel 3:16. And Yahweh shall roar from Zion, and give forth His Voice (the Word) from Jerusalem. And the heavens and earth shall shake, but Yahweh shall be a refuge for His people, and a stronghold for the children of Yisrael. [17] Then you shall know that I am Yahweh your Elohim, dwelling in Zion...
Zech. 2:10 ....For Look! I Am coming, and shall dwell in your midst, declares Yahweh.
Hos. 11:9 I am El, and not man, the Set-Apart One in your midst...
YAHSHUA IS YAHWEH'S ARM
Isa. 52:10 Yahweh shall lay bare His set apart Arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our Elohim.
Isa. 59:16 And (Yahweh) saw that there was no Man, and was astonished that there was no Intercessor. So His own Arm upheld Him, and His righteousness upheld Him.... [20] And the Redeemer shall come to Tziyon, and to those turning from transgression in Jacob, declares Yahweh.
Isa. 53:1 Who has believed our report, and to whom was the Arm of Yahweh revealed? [2] For He grew up before Him as a tender shoot, as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should desire Him. - [3] Despised and rejected by men, a Man of pains and knowing sickness. And as one from whom the face is hidden, being despised and we did not consider Him. [4] Truly He has borne our uncleanness and carried our pains. Yet we reckoned Him stricken, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted. [5] But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquity. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

Truth by necessary inference: Our arms are a physical part of us; they are not a separate entity, nor can they be separated from us without causing great bodily harm. Likewise, Yahweh's arm is not a separate entity, but an aspect or part (or what we might call a lesser "dimension") of Himself which cannot be separated from the greater "body" of Yahweh as a whole, without causing great spiritual harm to our understanding of Him.

Jhn. 1:1 In the beginning was the MILTHA (Word/Manifestation/Substance/ Essence), and the MILTHA was with Elohim, and Elohim was that MILTHA.... [3a] And everything through His HANDS existed.... [14] And the MILTHA (Word/Manifestation/Substance/ Essence) became flesh, and pitched His tent among us, and we saw His splendor, esteem as THE ONE who is from the Father, full of favor and truth. --Younan Aramaic Peshitta Interlinear
Jhn. 12:37 But though (Yahshua) had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, [38] That the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Yahweh, who has believed our report? And to whom has the Arm of Yahweh been revealed?"
Isa. 30:30 (Therefore) Yahweh will cause men to hear His majestic Voice (The Word) and will make them see HIS ARM COMING DOWN (AGAIN -- a second time) with raging anger and consuming fire with cloudburst.
YAHWEH ALONE IS MESSIAH / SAVIOR

Psalm 28:8 is the most forceful in proving that the Messiah must be Yahweh, which reads:

Psa 28:8 Yahweh is the saving (H#3444, YAHSHUA) strength of His Anointed (H#4899, MASHIYACH)."

This supports the claims of the Apostolic Scriptures then, that Yahshua was the embodiment of the Spirit/RUACH and POWER/Soul of Yahweh, just as John the Immerser embodied the Spirit/RUACH and Power/Soul of the prophet, EliYah, and as such, was the 'EliYah' who was prophesied to come, "if you are willing to accept it" (Matt. 11:13). Apart from this, MASHIYACH/Messiah" comes from the same Hebrew root as YASHA/Savior (Stone Artscroll Tanakh [2Ed] p.1034) and the Tanakh makes it clear that Yahweh and Yahweh alone is the only Savior of His people, Israel, and as such, only He can save them from their sins.

Isa. 33:22b ...[Yahweh] saves us.
Isa. 43:11 I, even I am Yahweh and besides Me there is no Savior.
Isa. 49:26 I, Yahweh, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Elohim of Jacob.
Hos. 13:4 Besides Me there is no Savior.

And yet, what else did Yahweh say?

Isa. 35:4b Elohim, He is coming to save you.
Isa. 19:20 (Yahweh) sends them a Savior and an Elohim, and shall deliver them.
Ezek. 34:22 I shall save my flock... [23] and I shall raise up over them One Shepherd, My Servant, David (Hebrew, ALEPH TAW EBEDI DAVID, or "Aleph Taw My Beloved Servant"), and He shall feed them and be their Shepherd.... [31] And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, are men, and I am your Elohim, declares the Master Yahweh.
Matt. 1:21 And she shall give birth to a Son and you shall call his name Yahshua, for He shall save His people from their sins..... [23] See a virgin shall conceive and she shall give birth to a Son and they shall call His name IMMANUEL which translated means EL WITH US!
Acts 13:23 From (David's) seed, according to the promise, Elohim raised up for Israel a Savior, Yahshua.
1Jhn. 4:14 And we have seen and bear witness that the Father has sent "the Son", SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

And what did Miriam (Mary) say upon being told that this Savior would be conceived in her womb?

Luk. 1:46 My being makes Yahweh great, [47] and my spirit rejoices in ELOHIM MY SAVIOR.

The truth by necessary inference, in this case, is that Tanakh teaches that:

Psa. 49:7 No man can redeem the life of another, or give to Elohim a ransom for him; [8] for the redemption of their soul is priceless and it ceases forever, [9] that He (the Messiah) should still live for ever, (and) not see corruption.

For Yahshua to therefore be the Savior who redeems Israel and pays the ransom for her sins, He MUST be Yahweh under veil of human flesh, because a mere man CAN NOT do this! Even Yahshua's name points to the fact that He is Yahweh, for Yahshua means "Savior YAH" * while EmmanuEl points to the same, meaning "El with us" (H#1694). These are the names and the titles given to the Messiah! Yahshua is therefore the Savior, only because he is also Yahweh; otherwise he could not be the Savior which Scripture says that He is, for Yahweh already said that he was the only Savior, and even Miriam knew this. *Strong's H#1955, HoshaYah (Hosea [#1954] + Yah [#3050]) means "Yah has Saved". Therefore when the order of the two words is reversed to YahHoshea/Yahushua (H#3091), they mean "Savior Yah".
Yahshua As Yahweh:
DEATH OF THE INNOCENT AND CHILD SACRIFICE
VERSUS THE OFFERING OF YAHSHUA
© 2005 by MattithYah Coover, www.RealMessiah.Name
Lev. 19:36 Have right scales, right weights, a right ephah , and a right hin . I am Yahweh your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of bondage.
Ezek. 45:10 Have right scales, and a right ephah , and a right bath.
Exod. 21:33 And when a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls in it, [34] the owner of the pit is to make it good, he is to give silver to their owner, and the dead is his.
Lev. 24:18 And he who smites a beast shall make it good, body for body.
Exod. 21:22b And when men strive.... [23] if there is injury, then you shall give, life for life.
Num. 35:31 And take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall certainly be put to death.
Because these rules of moral conduct have been given by Yahweh to man, we know that Yahweh must also abide by them.
Num. 23:19 El is not a man, to lie, neither the son of man, to repent! Has He said, and would He not do it? Has He spoken, and would He not make it good?
Gen. 2:9 And out of the ground Yahweh Elohim caused every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, with the tree of life in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
[Vs. 16] And Yahweh Elohim commanded the man saying, “ Eat of every tree of the garden, [17] but do not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat of it, you shall certainly die.”
Now if we will be honest with ourselves, Yahweh “dug a pit” in the very center of Eden; in the very center of Adam and Chava’s (Eve’s) home, and then told them not to fall in by accident. Of course He knew that Adam and Chava would fall into the pit, and this was all part of His plan to bring them to a point of willing submission. Notwithstanding, the pit was dug, and once Adam and Chava fell into it, Yahweh, by His own principles, was required to make it good. Remember, “ Life for life” is the guideline which He set forth, and his warning was that “ In the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die .”
So what happened? Did Yahweh send His Son as a completely separate being or entity into the world so that this separate being would be tortured and die, thereby fulfilling the stipulations of Torah? Hardly! As a matter of fact, that would NOT fulfill the stipulations of Torah by any means, because it presents a MAJOR problem regarding the death of the innocent. Note well: we are NOT talking about substitutional ANIMAL sacrifice here (which IS found in the Torah), or of someone dying, completely of their own merit, to save the life of a friend, but of Yahweh executing the death penalty against an ordinary, innocent man for something which that man did not do. Let’s examine a few other guidelines which the Torah gives concerning the death of the innocent.
Ezek. 18:4 See, all beings are Mine, the being of the father as well as the being of the son is Mine. The being that is sinning, it shall die .
Ezek. 18:20 The being who sins shall die . The son shall not bear the crookedness of the father, nor the father bear the crookedness of the son . The righteousness of the righteous is upon himself; the wrongness of the wrong is upon himself.
Now to be clear, Yahweh is not “crooked” because He planted a tree of knowledge in the garden Eden. Yahweh is all righteous, all powerful, and all knowing, and in fact, there is no unrighteousness in Him at all (Psa. 92:15) . When Yahweh planted that tree, He did it for His purposes, and with an end result of good in mind, but in order to bring that good to pass, Yahweh must make it good and show pardon for transgression HIMSELF, and not by occasioning the death of a completely innocent, third human party.
Num 35:33. Do not profane the land where you are, for blood profanes the land, and the land is not pardoned for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of Him who shed it.
Did the Son of Yahweh come to earth completely of His own merit? No.
Jhn. 3:16 For Elohim so loved the world that HE SENT His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him should not perish, but should have everlasting life.
John makes it crystal clear that the Father SENT the Son. Now pause for a second and consider the ramifications of that statement and what this means to us today if the “Son” was not, actually, an aspect of the same “Father” who sent Him——if Yahshua was not the Elohim of the Tanakh, and if Yahweh was not the real Messiah.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
I have just told my son that he must die for you, and because I am his father and he respects me (or possibly because I am in control), he has submitted to my decision and permitted ME to put him to death. My part in the “sacrificial procedure” has been in exact accordance with the type of Abraham and Isaac.
Question — Who has made more of a sacrifice: myself, who determined that my son must die, or my son, who gave up his life for you? My son made more of a sacrifice, of course.
Who are you going to be indebted to because of this sacrifice? You will be indebted to my son, of course. You will owe Him something which you cannot pay – namely your life.
Who are you going to love as a result? My son, quite naturally.
Who made out comparatively easy: myself or my son? Who lost His life and who is still living?
Jhn. 15:13 No one has greater love than this: that one should lay down HIS OWN LIFE for his friends.
What we know is that if I REALLY loved you, I would have died for you MYSELF . If I know that someone must die to save you, and I make somebody else be that someone, it is not love — it is selfishness! Love will not even THINK of putting some other innocent man to death, let alone do it. Take Yahshua’s trial and condemnation before Pontius Pilate, for example. Pilate knew that Yahshua was innocent—he said so himself, and then condemned Him to cruel flogging, excruciating pain, and a prolonged, torturous death from loss of blood and suffocation, knowing full well that he had done no wrong. As a result, who do we love: Pilate or the Messiah?
At the crucifixion, who was guilty or shedding innocent blood: Pilate or the Messiah? Pilate of course. In our hypothetical example, who is guilty: myself or my son? I am guilty beyond measure.
Who is guilty of murder according to both Scriptural and secular standards? I am guilty again. According to secular standards I will serve time in prison – perhaps even a lifetime sentence. According to Scriptural standards the assembly is commanded to stone me with stones so that I DIE . This is the picture of reality with which we must contend.
If this were an accurate type of the antitype in the heavens, the blood of mankind would be placed entirely upon his own head. If this was an accurate reflection, Yahweh would not intervene by pulling us out of the pit, but instead would occasion the death of the only innocent man in all the world — the only man who had not fallen into the pit! Now that would be a real bummer because one man who is only a man has no power to save a world of lost sinners, even if he was an innocent man, and even if Yahweh called Him “His Son” . If this whole panorama was an accurate reflection of the heavenly antitype , we would be serving an unjust Elohim who made even more subjects die in order to make restitution for the “dead men” in His “pit”. That sort of system just doesn’t work, and under such circumstances, you, brother or sister, could well be next on His list of human offerings! I cannot be more clear about this. Satan is the one who causes men to die while he continues to live. Satan is the god of human (and specifically, child) sacrifice — NOT THE ALMIGHTY!!! In the type of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah, note well that it was NOT Isaac who was sacrificed , but Abraham (representative of the Heavenly Father) who DIED TO SELF , and Yahweh, who provided HIMSELF as the ultimate Lamb ( Gen. 22:8, Hebrew Text ). 1
Many erroneously think that the phrase, “God helps those who help themselves” comes from the Bible, when in fact, it is Benjamin Franklin’s original words. Today, an increasing number are being hoodwinked by counter-missionaries into believing that this statement is founded on Scriptural principles. The Psalmist’s request of Yahweh, however, was that “ HE give us help from distress, for the help of man is naught. In Elohim we do mightily.” (Psa. 60:11,12a) “ For He delivers the needy when he cries, and the poor, who has no helper” (Psa. 72:12) “ For He Himself has said, ‘ I shall never leave you or forsake you,’ so that we boldly say, ‘ Yahweh is my helper ’” (Heb. 13:6) . David understood this and makes it clear that an ordinary man cannot redeem the soul of another human being.
Psa. 49:7 No man can redeem the soul of another, or give to Elohim a ransom for him; [8] for the redemption of their soul is priceless and it ceases forever, [9] that He (the Messiah) should still live for ever, (and) not see corruption.
For the camp which continues to insist that Yahshua was neither Elohim nor Yahweh, they provide outstanding evidence against themselves; evidence that their theology is based on core humanistic philosophy which is the teaching that man does not need Yahweh because he can save himself. Sadly, disastrously, those who lobby for such a teaching are deceived and deathly wrong.
There is only one Elohim in the heavens — “ Thus says Yahweh , the Sovereign of Yisrael, AND HIS REDEEMER, Yahweh of Hosts: ‘ I am ALEPH TAW (the Beginning and Ending); there is no elohim besides ME’” (Isa. 44:6) — and that one Elohim is just and good. Yahweh did not send us a separate entity, being, deity, or even a man labeled as “Elohim’s Son”. Yahweh came to earth Himself . A portion of Himself (the Word or Breath of His Mouth) came out from within Himself, was manifested in bodily form (the person of Yahshua of Nazareth), and thereby “made it good” at the stake.
Zech. 12:4a In that day declares Yahweh ..... [10b] they shall look on ME ( Yahweh ) whom they have pierced , and they shall mourn for Him as One mourns for His only Son.
Jhn. 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the stake, and it was written:
sydhy h ] lm w yrxn h ucwh y
YAHSHUA HANOTZREI V’MELEK HAYAHUDIM
YAHSHUA THE NAZARENE AND KING OF THE JEWS
[Vs. 20b] And it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Roman .
The first letter of each Hebrew word in the inscription forms the acronym, Yahweh, revealing just who it was who paid the price of our sin on the stake. According to Origin, Justin Martyr and other church historians, Psalm 96:10 in the first century Jerusalem Hebrew manuscripts also read, “ Say among the nations, Yahweh reigns from the wood ” — a clear reference to the cruel impaling and power of Yahshua’s vicarious atonement on our behalf. 2 We are indeed indebted to Yahshua because He laid down His life, and we are indebted to Yahweh because that is who Yahshua really was; because Yahweh’s “body” is the “Son” who makes atonement for the sins of the world.3

CONCLUSION:
The Tanakh teaches us that Yahweh alone is "I AM", the Eternal, the Aleph Taw (Beginning and End), Yahweh alone is Creator who stretched out the earth and heavens BY HIMSELF, Yahweh alone is Judge and Torah-giver, Yahweh is Sovereign of Israel, Yahweh is the Lion of Judah, and Israel's Husband, and Yahweh is the One who would be pierced and mourned for as the YACHID or Singularly Begotten Son ( Zech 12:10 ). Then the Apostles and Yahshua come along and proclaim that Yahshua is the "I AM", that He pre-existed from eternity as the Aleph Taw, that He created everything by Himself, that He is Israel's Judge, Torah-giver, and Teacher, that He is the Lion of Judah, King of the Jews, and that HE is Israel's husband who is pierced as the YACHID Begotten Son and lays down His life for her sins. Now the only way this can possibly be reconciled with the Tanakh is if Yahshua is also Yahweh. But then what do you do with verses such as:
Deut. 6:4 Hear O Israel, Yahweh your Elohim, Yahweh is One (ECHAD).
Isa. 42:8 I am Yahweh: that is My Name, and my majesty I do not give/share with another.
Isa. 44:6 Thus says Yahweh....there are no deities beside ME." (Isa 44:6)
Jhn. 13:16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a Servant is not greater than His Master, nor is the One sent greater than He who sent him.
Jhn. 14:28 You heard that I said to you, "I am going away and I am coming to you." If you did love me, you would have rejoiced that I said, "I am going to the Father", for the Father is greater than I.
Again, the only way to reconcile Yahshua's professed identity with the Tanakh is to understand that He is NOT "another elohim " or a second Yahweh, and NOT a "second person of the godhead", but instead that He is the LITERAL bodily manifestation and LESSER ASPECT or DIMENSION of the same One who proclaims Himself as the Yahweh Elohim Echad or composite unity who is worshiped by His people Israel. And if Yahshua is a "lesser dimension", but not a "lesser deity", then that harmonizes, both with the Scriptures which require that He be Yahweh, and with those which require that the Son (BEN YAHWEH), in his fleshly occurrence, is "lesser than the Father (ABBA YAHWEH)".
The Father and Son are two aspects of the singular Almighty Being who identifies Himself by the Name, Yahweh. The Father is the immaterial, intangible aspect of that Being. The Son is the means by which the Father reveals Himself to mortal man, "who is the likeness of the invisible Elohim, the first-born of all creation... because in Him all the completeness was pleased to dwell.... for in Him dwells all the completeness of Yahweh bodily" (Col. 1:15-19, 2:9). The Son is the "form of Yahweh" which appears to men ( Num. 12:8 ). The Father is the aspect of Yahweh which no man can see and live ( Exod. 33:20 ); the same Yahweh of which John wrote: "No man hath seen the Father at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father He did declare." (Jhn. 1:18)
The Son was the aspect of Yahweh which appeared to Adam and Eve in the garden ( Gen. 3:8 ), to Abraham at the Terebinth trees of Mamre ( Gen. 18:1 ), to Isaac in Gerar ( Gen. 26:2 ), to Moses at Sinai ( Exod. 33:23 ), to Israel in the wilderness ( Deut. 31:15 ), and to Manoah and his wife in the time of the Judges ( Jdg. 13:22 ); which wrestled with Jacob at Peniel ( Gen. 32:28,30 ); and which went before Israel in the wilderness as the Messenger bearing the Name Yahweh ( Exod. 23:20,21 ); the same Yahweh who said, "I am Yahweh: that is My Name: my esteem I do not give to another." (Isa 42:8) The Son is also the aspect of Yahweh that was impaled on the stake to make atonement for our transgression of the Torah ( Psa. 22:16, Zech. 12:10 ); the same Yahweh who said, "I am Yahweh and beside me there is no Savior" (Isa. 45:2) , and of which Isaiah wrote: "Thus says Yahweh, the Sovereign of Yisrael, AND HIS REDEEMER, Yahweh of Hosts: 'I am Aleph Taw (the Beginning and Ending); there are no deities beside ME." (Isa 44:6) Sequentially, the Son will be the aspect of Yahweh which reigns on earth from Renewed Jerusalem in the Kingdom to come ( Isa. 24:23 ). And so I ask you with the writer of Proverbs:
Prov. 30:4 Who has ASCENDED TO HEAVEN AND CAME DOWN? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name, and what is His Son's Name? Surely you know it!
The Tanakh provides the answer:
2Sam. 22:7 In my distress I called upon Yahweh, and to my Elohim I cried. And from His Temple He heard my voice, and my cry was in His ears...... [10] And HE BOWED THE HEAVENS AND CAME DOWN, and thick darkness was under His feet. [11] And He rode upon a Cherub (Angel, Messenger), and flew, and was seen upon the wings of the wind.... [17] He sent from above; He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
Deut. 32:43 And when he again brings the Firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all the messengers of Elohim worship Him." (LXX and Aramaic Peshitta, quoted in Psa. 97:7 and Heb. 1:6)
Do you accept or reject the writings of the prophets and apostles?

DOUBT THAT YAHSHUA IS YAHWEH
By MattithYah Coover

As documented by historians and attested to in films such as “The Passion of the Christ”, a variant of Hebrew called Eastern Aramaic was the commonly spoken language in Galilee at the time of Yahshua. The late native Aramaic speaker, Dr. George M. Lamsa, writes:
“Greek was never the language of Palestine. Josephus' book on the Jewish Wars was written in Aramaic. Josephus states that even though a number of Jews had tried to learn the language of the Greeks, hardly any of them succeeded. Indeed, the teaching of Greek was forbidden by Jewish rabbis.” – Holy Bible From The Ancient Easter Text, Introduction
Over nineteen independent witnesses, including church fathers and historians such as Epiphanius, Eusebius, Origen, Clement, and Jerome, furthermore testify that it was in this common language of the day that the Apostolic Scriptures were originally written in Hebrew letters.
Aramaic manuscripts of all but several books of the Apostolic Scriptures have been preserved by the Church of the East in what is known as the “Aramaic Peshitta”; and ongoing linguistic research by leading Messianic Aramaic scholars such as Andrew Gabriel Roth <www.AramaicNTTruth.org>, Paul Younan <www.Peshitta.org>, Christopher Lancaster <www.AramaicPeshitta.com>, and others, attests to the fact that these Aramaic manuscripts comprise “ the original New Testament as it would have been set down by the apostles themselves or, at a minimum, the closest to those original sources that has survived into modern times.” 1
In the Greek translation of the Apostolic Scriptures, KYRIOS or “Lord” was substituted for both the Hebrew word, ADONAI/Master/Lord, and the Divine Name, YAHWEH. Therefore, when Yahshua is called “KYRIOS“ or “Lord” in the Greek New Testament, it does not necessarily prove His deity, as the word “KYRIOS” may simply be referring to a human master. In the Aramaic Peshitta, however, the Divine Name, Yahweh, is faithfully rendered as MARYAH or Master Yah, and as a result, we now have objective manuscript evidence to support the restoration of Yahweh’s Name and IRREFUTABLE Elohim-ness (or Deity) of the Messiah into the Apostolic texts.
“ In the Aramaic translation of the Hebrew Bible, completed more than 2000 years ago, MARYAH (Master YAH) replaces Yahweh almost 7,000 times.” 2
“ MAR became the word of choice over [the Hebrew word] ADON (Master) [which, in turn, was translated to KYRIOS]. ADON [and KYRIOS], however, have a dual usage, whereas MAR conjugated itself in certain ways that told us what kind of ‘ master’ we were dealing with.... Yahshua ’s humanity is [therefore] referenced as MARI (my master) or MARAN (our master).... whereas MARYAH always refers to Yahweh . No human, other than Yahshua , is ever called MARYAH, and this is due to his unique role as the only begotten YACHID (exclusively singular) Son (Zech. 12:10).” 3 –Andrew Gabriel Roth
ARAMAIC IDENTIFIES YAHSHUA AS “I AM / ENA-NA”
Jhn. 4:25 (A woman of Samaria) said to Him, “ I know that Messiah is coming, the One who is called ‘ Anointed’. When that One comes, He shall announce to us all.” [26] Yahshua said unto her, “ I AM (Aramaic, ENA-NA) who speaks to you.”.... [39] And many of the Samaritans of that city believed.
Jhn. 8:14 Yahshua said, “ Even if I bear witness concerning Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going.... [18] I AM (ENA-NA) that testifies concerning Myself, yet My Father who sent Me testifies concerning Me.... [19b] If only Me you had known, you would have also known My Father [24] Therefore said I unto you that you shall die in your sins unless you believe that I AM (ENA-NA). [28] When you have lifted up the Son of Adam, then shall you know that I AM (ENA-NA).... [58] Verily, verily I say unto you, ‘ Before Abraham, I existed.’” —Younan Peshitta Interlinear & Institute For Scripture Research (adapted )
“ In Semitic thought, the phrase ‘ ENA-NA’ (I Am) conveys a thought of eternal existence reserved only for Elohim / Deity.”4 —Paul Younan, www.Peshitta.org
“Normally when an Aramaic speaker wished to refer to himself he would simply say ‘ ENA’ (or ‘ I’). However, when it came to addressing the speech of the Almighty doing the same thing, the [Hebrew] phrase, EHYAH ASHER EHYAH (“I Am Who I Am”, as spoken by Yahweh in Exod. 3:14) became ENA-NA. Therefore, by Yahshua saying ‘ ENA-NA’ rather than the conventional truncated ‘ I’, He was deliberately claiming for Himself a title exclusive to Yahweh .” 5 —Andrew Roth 6
ARAMAIC IDENTIFIES YAHSHUA AS “MASTER YAHWEH” AND “ELOAH / DEITY”
Jhn. 1:1 In the beginning was the MILTHA (word, substance, essence, manifestation) and that MILTHA was with Elohim and Elohim was that MILTHA . [2] This was in the beginning with Elohim. [3] Everything through His hands existed and without Him not even one existed (of) the things which have existed. —Younan Peshitta Interlinear (YPIV) 7
1Cor. 8:6 For to ourselves, (there) is one Eloah (ALAHA), the Father, from whom (are) all (things) and by whom we are, and one Yahweh (MARYAH) Yahshua the Messiah ; by His hand (are) all (things) and by His hand we are also. –Hebraic Roots Version 8
Notice in this passage that all things are from Eloah the Father, and that we exist because of Him. And notice that because of Him, there is also one Yahweh, Yahshua the Messiah, the aspect of Yahweh which was Creator, and which appeared in the Tanakh to men.
Jhn. 1:4 In Him was the Life / Occurrence of Divine Nature (QNOMA), and the Occurrence of Divine Nature was the Light of men [5] and that Light in the darkness shines, and the darkness did not overtake it. —YPIV and Peshito Syriac Interlinear (PSIV ) 9
Gen. 1:3 And He is saying, Elohim He shall become Light and He is becoming Light, and He is seeing Elohim ALEPH TAW (i.e. Yahshua ), the Light that is good, and He is separating Elohim between the Light and between the darkness. —BHS Interlinear 10
Jhn. 1:14 And the MILTHA (Word, Essence, Substance, Manifestation) became flesh and dwelt among us and we saw His esteem, the esteem as the Only Begotten who is from the Father who is full of favor and truth. [15] John witnessed concerning Him and cried out and said, “ This is He whom I said after me would come and yet be before me because earlier He was than me...” [18] Man has not seen Elohim ever, the Only-Begotten Eloah, He who is in the bosom of His Father, He has declared Him. [19] And this is the witness of John when sent to him the Jews from Jerusalem priests and Levites to inquire of Him, (saying) Who are you? [20] And he confessed, and did not deny, but said, “ I am not the Messiah”... [23] He said, “ I am the voice of the crying in the wilderness, ‘ Make straight the way of Yahweh (MARYAH)’ as Isaiah the prophet has said.... [25] And they said unto him, “ Why then do you immerse if you are not the Messiah, nor Eliyah, nor the Prophet?” [26] John answered, “ I immerse in water, but in your midst stands One whom you do not know — [27] The One coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loosen....” [30] This is He whom I spoke concerning that after me will come a Man, yet before me He was because earlier He (is) than me.” —YPIV
Mat. 3:3 This is He, of whom Isaiah spoke saying, “ A voice crying in the wilderness, ‘ Prepare you the way of Yahweh (MARYAH), make straight in the desert, a path for our Elohim’” —HRV
Who is John the Immerser going before in this passage: Yahweh, Yahshua, or both? Number one is evident, for both the apostolic writings and the Tanakh passage which they quote read “Prepare you the way of Yahweh”. Number two is necessary, as seen from the surrounding context. Number two and three are only possible if Yahshua is an aspect or dimension of Yahweh, which the apostle Luke confirms to be the case in the Aramaic of Luke 2:11 .
Luk. 2:11 There is born to you today, in the city of David, the Savior who is Yahweh (MARYAH) the Messiah . —HRV
Acts 2:22. Yahshua of Nazareth, a Man from Elohim, having been pointed out to you by mighty words, and miracles, and signs which ELOHIM DID THROUGH HIM in your midst.... [36] Let all the house of Israel know for certain that Elohim has made this Yahshua whom you have impaled both Yahweh (MARYAH) and Messiah.
1Cor. 11:27 Therefore whosoever shall eat of Yahweh’s (MARYAH’s) bread and drink of his cup unworthily shall be guilty of the blood and body of Yahweh (MARYAH)... [29] For he who eats and drinks unworthily eats and drinks to his condemnation; for he does not discern Yahweh’s (MARYAH’s) body. —Lamsa and PSIV
Rom. 14:8. Because if we live, we live to our Master (MARAN), and if we die, we die to our Master (MARAN). And whether we live therefore or whether we die, we belong to our Master (MARAN). [9] Because of this also the Messiah died and is alive and is raised that He might be Yahweh (MARYAH) to the dead and to the living.... [11] As it is written, I live, says Yahweh (MARYAH). Every knee will bow to Me and every tongue will confess Me. [12] Therefore every man from us will give an account for his life to Eloah.... [14] (And of this) I know and am persuaded by the Master Yahweh (MARYAH) Yahshua . —HRV
A SALVATION ISSUE?
Some time ago I came across a claiming-messianic, counter-missionary website (wolves in sheep’s clothing outfit) which issued a challenge to provide evidence from the Scriptures that Yahshua is Yahweh, and their website stated that if anyone should win this challenge, the writer of the article would then convert to that persons beliefs and bless them with all that they owned. Their rules which I was to abide by when answering this challenge were as follows:
Rule 1. Find an Apostle that teaches in the Bible, that Yahshua taught we must believe he is Yahweh, or we go to hell.
Rule 2. If Yahshua at any time taught we must Believe he is Yahweh, or we go to hell, then you must find an apostle that understood his teaching to be this. So if in John 8:24 Yahshua was teaching he is Yahweh and we must believe it, then you should be able to find an apostle that taught this is what Yahshua meant.
Both of these rules had some serious flaws, because wrong is wrong, even if everybody is doing it, and right is right, even if nobody is doing it. So to elevate the teachings of the apostles above the teachings of Yahshua is grossly in error. Nevertheless, I decided to abide by these rules for the sake of the challenge, which brought me to rule number three.
Rule 3. It cannot be a verse where you think an apostle teaches Yahshua is Yahweh, but rather must be a verse that an apostle teaches, believe Yahshua is Yahweh or be damned.
This third stipulation also had some major flaws, for by it, one would determine that any sin is permissible, save those which warrant the penalty of eternal death! Nevertheless, I decided to abide by this rule also for the sake of the challenge, keeping in mind that ONLY ONE SIN warrants absolute eternal death without the possibility of forgiveness.
The first Scripture I presented this individual with was 1 Corinthians 12:3 from the Peshitta, another prime example of objective manuscript evidence for the placement of Yahweh’s Name.
1Cor. 12:3 Because of this, I make known to you that there is no one by the spirit of Eloah that says that Yahshua is accursed. And neither is a man able to say that Yahweh is Yahshua except by the Set-Apart Spirit . —HRV
Shaul clearly teaches that it is the Set-Apart Spirit which allows us to say that Yahshua is Yahweh. This means that we should beware if we are not teaching this, and greatly alarmed if we are denying it!
1Jhn. 5:16 If any man sees his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin which is unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
Now the question is—what is the sin which is unto death? Or what sin brings the command into effect, “Do such and such or be damned?”
2Tim. 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, BLASPHEMERS .... [5] Having a form of being SET-APART , but DENYING THE POWER THEREIN ....”
Wisdom of Solomon 1:6. Wisdom is a kindly Spirit, but will not free blasphemers from the guilt of their words; because Elohim is a witness of their inmost feelings, and a true observer of their hearts. (Apocrypha)
Mat. 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you that all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Set-Apart Spirit shall not be forgiven men. [32] And whoever speaketh a word against the Son of Adam, it shall be forgiven him, but whosoever speaks against the Set-Apart Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or the age to come.
Based on the teachings of Messiah Yahshua we therefore see that there is a sin which causes you to be eternally damned—blasphemy—defiantly speaking a word against the Set-Apart Spirit or “denying the POWER thereof”. The apostles clearly understood Yahshua as teaching this, for they were the ones who recorded it for us to read today, and this brings us back to our original Scripture.
1Cor. 12:3 Because of this, I make known to you that there is no one by the spirit of Eloah that says that Yahshua is accursed. And neither is a man able to say that Yahweh is Yahshua except by the Set-Apart Spirit .
The Set-Apart Spirit is what reveals to us that Yahshua is Eloah - that He is Yahweh - and to adamantly deny or teach against this once you come in contact with the truth is to blaspheme the Set-Apart Spirit, which, according to the words of Yahshua and the apostles, warrants damnation or eternal death.
Acts 2:38 Then Simon said to them, “ Repent and be immersed, every one of you in the name of the Master Yahweh (MARYAH) Yahshua for the remission of sins, so that you may receive the gift of the Set-Apart Spirit. —Lamsa 11 & PSIV
Needless to say, this answered the challenge in spite of the flaws in the rules which went along, and yet at the time of this printing, the man who issued the challenge still has not changed his beliefs, but instead, added another fourteen-hour-long CD to his website which supposedly “proves” that Yahshua was not Yahweh in the flesh.
Gal. 1:6 I marvel that you are so readily turning away from Him who called you in the favor of Messiah, TO A DIFFERENT GOSPEL, [7] which is not another; only there are some who are troubling you and wishing to PERVERT THE EVANGEL OF MESSIAH. [8] However, even if we, or a messenger out of heaven, bring an evangel to you besides what we announced to you, let him be accursed. [9] As we have said before, and now I say again, If anyone brings an evangel to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed .
Jude 1:4 For certain men have obtained entrance, who from the beginning were proscribed in this condemnation; depraved men, who the favor of Eloah (ALAHA) turn unto lasciviousness, and Him who is the only Yahweh Eloah (MARYAH ALAHA), our Master Yahshua the Messiah (MARI ESHOA MESHIHA), deny.” —Etheridge Translation & PSIV
Phlp. 2:5. Reason thus within you which Yahshua the Messiah also reasoned, [6] who being in very nature, Eloah, did not consider it robbery to be equal with Eloah, [7] Yet He made Himself of no reputation and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was in the likeness of men. [8] And being found in the form of a Man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even the death of the stake. [9] Therefore Eloah also has highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name, [10] that at the name of Yahshua every knee will bow, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and those under the earth, [11] And every tongue shall confess that Yahshua the Messiah is Yahweh (MARYAH) to the esteem of Eloah His Father. —Lamsa & PSIV
1Cor. 15:45 So it is also written, Adam, the first man, became a living soul; and the last Adam, a quickening spirit. [46] But the spiritual was not first but the natural and then the spiritual. [47] The first son of man 12 was dust that was from the earth. The second Man was Yahweh from heaven. —HRV
Rom. 9:5 And from among them (Israel / humanity) is seen/revealed the Messiah in the flesh, who is Eloah (ALAHA). —Lamsa & PSV
Jam. 5:7. But my brothers, be patient until the coming of Yahweh , as the husbandman who waits for the precious fruit of his ground and is patient for them until he receives the early and latter rain. Thus also be patient and establish your hearts, for the coming of our Master (MARAN) draws nigh. —HRV
1Pe. 3:15 And SET-APART Yahweh THE MESSIAH , in your hearts and be ready to make a defense to all who ask you a word concerning the hope of your faith, with meekness and fear. —HRV

Tanakh Proves Elohim-Head
And Veracity Of The Virgin Birth

In Exodus 3:14, Yahweh says to Moses when enquired of concerning His identity, "EhYah Asher EhYah" or "I will be who I will be", which leads up to the ultimate revelation of His Name, Yahweh, in verse fifteen. Yahweh means "I was, I Am, I will be: Existence in all three tenses: Eternal Being."(1) Like mankind whom He created in His image, Yahweh is composed of three primary dimensions or aspects:
The Soul or absolute Being of Yahweh, from whence all else proceeds.
His Spirit or character which is manifested to us in the ways He deals with sin and the standards of morality and worship which He has established.
The bodily manifestation of Yahweh or the manner in which He chooses to reveal Himself to us.
Although Yahweh is a Spirit (John 4:24), the means through which He chooses to reveal Himself are, nonetheless, those of human dimensions and terms, so that we, as human beings, can identify with Him. The most well known examples of Yahweh revealing Himself in human terms are those of 1) a Father, 2) a Husband, and 3) a Son -- all three masculine entities. In this study, however, we are going to go a step further as we discover just who the Father, Son, and Spirit really are.
In Genesis 1:27 Yahweh creates humanity, male and female, in His image, or patterned after Him. "Male and female", therefore, must be a reflection of the image after which mankind was created, implying that the "image of Elohim" (allegorically) has both masculine and feminine dimensions or aspects. We will now take a minute to outline the three primary forms in which Elohim describes Himself, and see how they compare to the three previously identified aspects or dimensions of His essence.
The ABBA or Father aspect of Yahweh is the soul or being, from whence all else proceeds. This is the dimension of which Yahshua spoke when he said, "The Father is greater than I." (Jn.14:28)
The RUACH KODESH is the spirit or character aspect of Yahweh, as we read in Isaiah 40:13: "Who has meted out the Spirit (RUACH) of Yahweh, or as His counselor, taught Him?" KODESH (the Hebrew word for "set-apart" or "holy") is grammatically masculine, whereby we see that the Set-Apart or KODESH One (Yahweh) reveals Himself to us as a masculine entity. RUACH or Spirit, on the other hand, is grammatically feminine, whereby we receive the implication that the Spirit (or RUACH) of the KODESH One is a feminine aspect of the masculine Elohim (or Deity). In fact, throughout the Tanakh, Intertestament, and Apostolic Scriptures, the Spirit is depicted as the feminine or motherly aspect of Yahweh, and is personified in the "virtuous woman" of Proverbs 31, elsewhere known as "Wisdom".

Wisdom Of Solomon 9:9-10,17. With You (Yahweh) is Wisdom, SHE who knows your works and was present when you made the world.; SHE understands what is pleasing in your sight and what is right according to your commandments. Send HER forth from the Set-Apart (KODESH) heavens and from the throne of your esteem, send HER that she may labor at my side,(2) and that I may learn what is pleasing to you....Who has learned your counsel unless you have given Wisdom, and sent your RUACH KODESH (or Set-Apart Spirit) from on high? (Apocrypha)

As Yahshua also says in:

Matthew 11:19. The Son of Adam came eating and drinking....and Wisdom was declared right by HER works.

And again...

Luke 7:35. Wisdom is declared right by all HER children.
Wisdom Of Solomon 7:22. For Wisdom, the fashioner of all things, taught me: for in her is a Spirit (RUACH) that is understanding, Set-Apart (KODESH), ONELY BEGOTTEN. (Apocrypha)
Sirach 6:22. For Wisdom is like her name--she is not perceived by many. (Apocrypha)

In the book of Proverbs, Wisdom says, "Yahweh possessed me, the beginning of His Way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth ever was" (Proverbs 8:22,23). The phrase, "Yahweh possessed me", implies that Wisdom is a "bride" of sorts, since a bride is "possessed" by her husband. Additionally Wisdom is "the beginning of Yahweh's Way." Considering that the Messiah is identified in the Apostolic Scriptures as "the Way" (John 14:6) and John the Immerser was "the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the Way Of Yahweh" (John 1:23) as he prepared the way before Yahshua, this brings us to the third form in which Yahweh has chosen to reveal Himself--that of the Only Begotten Son who was allegorically brought forth (or revealed) through Wisdom's womb in the primordial Light at the dawn of creation, and whom John 1:1 in the Aramaic identifies as the MILTHA (substance, manifestation, or body) of Yahweh.

Genesis 1:3. And Elohim said, "Let Light come to be," and Light came to be. [4] And Elohim saw the Light, that it was good. And Elohim separated the Light from the darkness.
Genesis 1:3. And He is saying, "Elohim shall become Light, and He is becoming Light." [4] And He is seeing Elohim ALEPH TAW, the Light that is good. --BHS Interlinear(3)
Malachi 2:15. Did He not make ECHAD (a composite unity)? And He had the remnant of the SPIRIT, and what is the One He seeks? A SEED of Elohim...
The Torah speaks of this Seed of Elohim first in Genesis 3:15 where Yahweh foretells that the Seed of the woman will crush the head of the serpent.

Genesis 3:15. I shall put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed. He shall crush your head, and you shall crush His heel.

Referencing this verse, one of the Jewish commentaries states that "Eve had respect to that Seed which is coming from another place. And who is this? This is the Messiah, the King."(4)
In Psalm 110, David writes of this "Seed of Elohim":

Psalm 110:3. Your people volunteer in the day of Your might, in the splendors of set-apartness! FROM THE WOMB, from the morning (i.e. the Light of Gen 1:3,4 & Rev 22:16) you have the dew of your youth (cf. Isa. 53:2).

This manifestation of Yahshua from the womb is also spoken of by the prophet Isaiah.

Isaiah 49:1. Listen to Me, O coastlands, and hear, you peoples from afar! Yahweh has called Me FROM THE WOMB, from My mother's belly He has caused MY NAME to be remembered.... [5] And now, said Yahweh who formed Me from the womb, to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him,... [6] Shall it be a small matter for You to be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved ones of Israel? And I shall give You as a Light to the gentiles, to be My Salvation (YASHA) to the ends of the earth.(5) [7] Thus said Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, their Set-Apart One, to the despised, to the loathed One (i.e. the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53)... [26a] I shall feed those who oppress you with THEIR OWN FLESH, and let THEM drink THEIR OWN BLOOD as sweet wine.(6) And all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Elohim of Jacob.
Isaiah 7:14. Therefore Yahweh Himself gives you a sign: Look! A VIRGIN (ALMAH) shall conceive and give birth to a Son, and He shall be called "El with us".
"Two Jewish translations prior to the Common Era, the Septuagint in Greek and the Peshitta Tanakh in Aramaic, understood ALMAH to be a 'virgin' because both translated the word into virgin-exclusive terms. The reality was also that culturally speaking, a woman who was unmarried was assumed to be a virgin unless otherwise stated."(7)

Of the seven times the word, ALMAH, is used in the Hebrew Tanakh, it can ONLY mean VIRGIN,(8) and was translated as "PARTHENOS", meaning "1) a virgin: a) a marriageable maiden; b) a woman who has never had sexual intercourse"(9) by the 72 Jewish translators of the Septuagint a full 250 years before the common era.

"It is acknowledged that Isaiah 7:1-11 (and specifically verse 8) refer to a 65 year prophetic window. However, the use of ptuchas and samekhs in the text clearly also indicate an embedded long term prophecy kicks in as the earlier smaller prophecy is 'sealed' (see Isaiah 8:16). The 7:14 reference then, while beginning as one pointing to Isaiah's own family, also contained within it a long term REMEZ pointing to Messiah. The reason is that ALMAH, in addition to meaning 'virgin/young woman' also can mean in Hebrew and Aramaic 'universe', and 'eternity', and these other definitions relate to the longer prophetic portion. By the time we get to Isaiah 9 and its reference to the Light and Galilee, [and the identification of the Child as 'Mighty El', 'Eternal Father', and His birth as 'Wonderful' or 'Miraculous'] it is clear that a final picture-linkage to Yahshua is offered."(10)
"The Messianic prophecy found in Isaiah 9:7 is a final evidence from the original Hebrew words. The closed MEM (\) is always used at the end of a word. The only exception is where it is found in this prophecy. In Isaiah 9:7 the closed MEM is found in the middle of the word.... That word is 'LEMARBE' meaning 'to increase.' Normally (as any beginning Hebrew student would have learned), in the middle of the word the reader would find an open MEM (m). The Zohar says 'The closed MEM refers to the fact that the Messiah would be born from a "closed womb."' "(11)

Isaiah 9:6. For a Child shall be born to us, a Son shall be given to us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called MIRACLE,(12) Counselor, Mighty El, Everlasting Father, Prince Of Peace. [7] Of the increase (LEMARBE) of His rule and peace there is no end, upon the throne of David, and over His kingdom, to establish it and sustain it with right-ruling and with righteousness from now on and forever -- the ardor of Yahweh of Hosts does this.

"The Jewish Hebrew scholar, Professor David Flusser has said, 'And the virgin birth? Nor does that go against Jewish thinking.' Richard Wurmbrand, the Messianic Jew who survived the Holocaust, (commenting on this portion of The Zohar, as he shared this with a Jewish rabbi), [said] 'Isaiah put a closed MEM in the middle of the word to show the reader who was destined to understand it that the Divine Child of whom this prophecy speaks would be born of the closed womb of a virgin.'"(13)
"Even Rashi the hallowed and still revered Jewish Bible expositor, believed that the Creator would come to earth through a woman never having had intercourse."(14)
The apostle Matthew testifies that Yahshua was conceived "OF (not 'by') the Ruach Kodesh (Set-Apart Spirit)" (Matt. 1:20) and in the physical portrayal of this, He was conceived OF the virgin Miriam (Mary). So while Christianity portrays the "Holy Spirit" as a "male" who impregnates the "virgin Mary", this is actually not correct. As we read in the Gospel of Philip (3 C.E.):

"Some said, 'Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit.' they are in error. They do not know what they are saying. When did a woman ever conceive by a woman?"
What actually happened is that through the union of the soul or being of Yahweh (Fatherly aspect) and His wisdom or spirit (Motherly aspect), the Son (or bodily manifestation/substance of Yahweh) was conceived,(15) and eventually entered the world through the womb of a virgin who was overshadowed with the power of the Set-Apart Spirit or motherly aspect of Elohim. This then is why the apostle, Shaul (Paul), in Colossians 2:9, writes that "In Him (Yahshua) dwells all the completeness of the Elohim-head (Father + Mother / Soul + Spirit) bodily.

 

QUESTION:
How can Yahshua be born of a virgin and be the seed of David when the bloodline follows the man?

ANSWER:
It is the woman, and not the man, who gives the blood in conception, and Yahweh makes it clear in Genesis 3:15 that the seed of the woman, and not the man, is the Messiah who will crush the head of satan, as he saves His people from their sins. As for the claim that the bloodline can only be imparted by the man, this is utterly unfounded, and extremely hypocritical considering that Judaism itself bases one's tribal heritage exclusively on the ancestry of the mother. It is true that the genealogies in the Tanakh are typically recorded through the men, but equally true is that the Torah makes specific provision for those cases where there is no man capable of carrying on the family line.

Numbers 26:33. And Zelophad, son of Hepher, had no sons, but daughters. And the names of the daughters of Zelophad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.... [27:1] Then came the daughters of Zelophad.... [2] and they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the leaders of all the congregation, by the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, saying, [3] "Our father died in the wilderness, yet he was not in the company of those who were met together against Yahweh in company with Korah, but he died in his own sin. And he had no sons. [4] Why should the name of our father be removed from among his clan because he had no son? Give us a possession among the brothers of our father...." [6] And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [7] "The daughters of Zelophad speak what is right. You should certainly give them a possession of inheritance among their father's brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. [8] And speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'When a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter...' [11b] And it shall be to the children of Israel a law of right ruling, as Yahweh commanded Moses."

QUESTION:
Virgin births of divine saviors who "drop out of the sky", admittedly, abound in pagan mythology, and because of this, some suggest that the entire concept originated there. What is your defense to this?

ANSWER:
When focusing on the contrast between truth and falsehood, always remember that truth is self-sufficient and falsehood is not. Truth is a reaching out of Yahweh into our mortal lives so that we can travel a better way, and because Yahweh is eternal, truth will never cease to exist. Falsehood, on the other hand, is a distortion of truth, without which, it would cease to exist. Falsehood is therefore always built upon truth, and contains both truth and a lie. Consequently, truth often appears to contain falsehood, but only because falsehood has always produced a counterfeit for truth.
Suffice it to say that, although in terms of Scriptural interpretation it is completely irrelevant, there are (in terms of numbers) far more pagan religions which promote either 1) a "son" conceived through sexual union between a woman and a god, or 2) A "son" who was a "prophetic man" who became a god,(16) than religions which promote a Son conceived in a heavenly realm, who entered the world through means of a TRUE VIRGIN'S WOMB. And NO RELIGION, with the exception of Judaism, has seen its fulfillment, even if they do teach it! Notwithstanding, some pagan, somewhere, has always made up a counterfeit for truth, and if it were up to the pagans to decide what we do and do not believe, we would not believe in Noah's flood either, because there are flood legends all around the world, twisted to fit the religion wherein they are found! (Amazingly though, almost everyone believes in Noah's flood - even science affirms the concept as fact!) And if it were up to the pagans to decide what we should and should not believe, there would be no Son conceived at all, point blank! So to deny the virgin birth, in spite of the Scriptural evidence, just because some pagan religion copied it -- THAT is what is properly termed "allowing paganism to influence your faith".
Can An Aspect Of Elohim Die?

Q. In Deuteronomy 32:39,40 Yahweh says, “I live forever”, and in Psalms 102:27 David says “Your years will never end”. If Yahweh cannot die, then how can Yahshua be Yahweh and die on the stake?

A. Several of the anti-missionary’s allegations here could indeed prove worrisome, if proven correct. Closer examination of the Scriptures in question; specifically Deuteronomy 32:39,40, however, reveals unsubstantiated claims based on “selective scholarship” or partial quotations of Scriptures which actually disprove the theory when examined in their entirety.
Deut. 32:39 See now that I, I am He, and there is no deity beside Me. I have put to death and I make alive. I have wounded and I heal, and from My hand no one delivers. [40] For I lift My Hand to heaven, and say, ‘I live forever’.
The Hebrew reads “REUH ATAH KI ANI ANI WHO VEYN ELOHIM EMADI”, or “I, I”, or “I even I”, or “I also I”, with no comma or hyphen in the Hebrew, referring to the two primary faces of Yahweh (Father and preexistent Son). Now let’s take a look at several other verses where the phrase, ANI ANI appears.
Isa. 43:25 I, I (ANI ANI) am He that blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and remember your sins no more.

Isa. 51:9l Awake, awake, put on strength, O Arm of Yahweh. Awake as in days of old, everlasting generations.... [12] I, I (ANI ANI) am He that comforts you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a Man that shall die, and of the Son of Man which shall be made as grass?
Who is this Son of Man, spoken of by the prophet, who shall die and be made as grass? The answer is found in:
Zech. 13:7 O sword, awake against My Shepherd, against the Man who is My Fellow declares Yahweh of hosts. Smite the Shepherd and let the sheep be scattered. But I shall turn My Hand upon the little ones.

The Hebrew of this verse reads “CHEREV OORI AL ROAEHI VEAL GEVEER AMITI NEOOM YAHWEH TSAVAOT. NAKAH ‘ET HAROAEH”, or “Sword rise on My Shepherd, the Man, My Equal Companion, declares Yahweh of hosts. Smite ALEPH TAW the Shepherd.”

In the Hebrew it is clear to see that this smitten Shepherd (the same One put to death in Deuteronomy 32:29) is the equal of Yahweh, as part of the ELOHIM ECHAD of Israel. The Father aspect of Yahweh, “who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see” (1 Timothy 6:16) cannot die, but the YACHID or only begotten Son who comes forth from the bosom of the Father (John 16:28; 3:13) and who is imbued with the very nature of Yahweh (called the QNOMA in the Aramaic Peshitta—see John 1:3 and Colossians 1:17 in Aramaic) can, because He has taken on the form of a Man, hence the limitations of human flesh.
Psa. 22:16 For dogs have surrounded Me; a crowd of evil ones have encircled Me, piercing My hands and My feet. [17] I count all My bones. They look, they stare at Me. [18] They divide my garments among them, and for my raiment they cast lots... [20] Deliver My life from the sword, My Only (YACHID) from the power of the dog. (ISR Scriptures)
Zech. 12:10b (Yahweh speaking) And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as One mourns for His Only (YACHID) Son. And they shall be in bitterness over Him as over the Firstborn. (ISR)

Luke 24:38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled and why do doubts arise in your hearts? [39] See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.... [46] Thus it has been written, and so it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and to rise again from the dead the third day.

Job 19:25 (KJV) For I know that my Redeemer lives (present tense), and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: [26] And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see Elohim: [27] Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another...
Job 19:25 (ISR Scriptures) For I know that MY REDEEMER LIVES, and AS THE ‘LAST’ SHALL RISE OVER THE DUST; [26] and after my skin has been struck off, then in my flesh I shall see Eloah, [27] whom I myself shall see on my side, and not a stranger.... [28] But you should say, “Why do we persecute Him, seeing the root of the matter has been found in me?” [29] Fear the sword yourselves, for wrath brings the punishment of the sword, so that you know there is a judgment.
The Name of Yahweh defines Him — I was, I am, I will be — existence in all three tenses. He is eternal. The immortal cannot die, thus the fullness of Elohim could not die on the stake, but only the human body which He poured Himself into (Philippians 2:8) and the flesh which was imbued with His Spirit and Divine Nature (John 1:3 and Colossians 1:17 in Aramaic).
Does The "Temptation Of Yahshua"
Disqualify Him From Being Yahweh?

by MattithYah Coover

Contrary to what some Deity-deniers, quoting exclusively from the Apostolic writings, would have you to believe, the Tanakh (Hebrew First Covenant) says it does not! Why? Because Tanakh makes clear that Yahweh CAN be tempted/tried!
Deut. 6:16 “Do not tempt Yahweh your Elohim as you tempted him in Massah.”
Here Yahweh tells us that Israel tempted Him in Massah and tells us not to try it again. If Yahweh could not be tempted/tried, we could try all we wanted, and it would be harmless; it would not hurt a thing. The only thing is that Scripture NEVER said that Yahweh couldn’t be tried. Much to the contrary, it states that He is tried all the time!
Exod. 17:7 And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the ‘strife’ of the children of Israel, and because they tried Yahweh, saying, Is Yahweh in our midst or not?

Num. 14:22 None of these men who have seen my esteem and the sign which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tried me now these ten times, and have disobeyed my voice, [23] shall see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who scorned Me see it.

Psa. 78:18 And they tried El in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

Psa. 78:56 Yet they tried and rebelled against the Most High Elohim, and did not guard His witnesses.

Psa. 95:9 Your fathers tried Me, [and] have proved Me, though they saw My work.

Psa. 106:13 They soon forgot His works, they did not wait for His counsel, [14] but greedily lusted in the wilderness, and tried El in the desert. [15] And He gave them their request, but sent leanness within their being.

Psa. 78:41 And AGAIN AND AGAIN THEY TRIED ELOAH, and provoked the Set-Apart One of Israel.
In all of these occurrences, “tried” is translated from the Hebrew word, NACAH, which means “To test, try, prove, tempt, assay, put to the proof or test.” This is the exact action (down to the Hebrew word number!) which is forbidden of Yahweh in Deuteronomy 6:16!
1Cor. 10:9 Neither let us tempt Messiah, as some of them also tempted Him, and were destroyed by serpents.
One of the many ways we can tempt Him today is by claiming that He cannot be tempted.
Heb. 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted, like as we are. YET WITHOUT SIN.
So how do we reconcile Yahweh’s being tempted with Apostolic Scriptures like the verse in:
Jam. 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted by Elohim, for Elohim is not tempted by evil, and He tempts no one.
“Tempted” in the phrase, “Elohim is not tempted by evil” is translated from the Greek word, APEIRASTOS, meaning someone or something “that can not be tempted by evil, not liable to temptation to sin”
“Evil” in this verse refers to something:
1) of a bad nature
a) not such as it ought to be
2) of a mode of thinking, feeling, acting
a) base, wrong, wicked
3) troublesome, injurious, pernicious, destructive, baneful.
So all James is saying is that Yahweh is not tempted by an evil or negative mode of thinking, feeling, or acting. When Yahshua was in the wilderness with satan, did His spirit succumb to a “a bad nature such as it ought not to be” or did he entertain a “mode of thinking, feeling, or acting which was base, wrong or wicked, troublesome, injurious, pernicious, destructive, or baneful”? If He had, He would have succumbed to the temptation, but He did not! He resisted and overcame satan’s endeavors to entrap Him, and He had absolutely no desire to commit the evil. He loved righteousness so much that sure, he could be TRIED, but it was no lure, nor was He disqualified from being a dimension of Yahweh.

Now in James’ statement that Yahweh “tempts no man”, a completely different Greek word—PEIRAZO— is used, which means:
1) to try whether a thing can be done
a) to attempt, endeavor
2) to try, make trial of, test: for the purpose of ascertaining his quantity, or what he thinks, or how he will behave himself
a) in a good sense
b) in a bad sense, to test one maliciously, craftily to put to the proof his feelings or judgments
c) to try or test one’s faith, virtue, character, by enticement to sin
1) to solicit to sin, to tempt
a) of the temptations of the devil
d) after the O.T. usage
1) of Elohim: to inflict evils upon one in order to prove his character and the steadfastness of his faith
2) men are said to tempt Elohim by exhibitions of distrust, as though they wished to try whether he is not justly distrusted
3) by impious or wicked conduct to test Elohim’s justice and patience, and to challenge him, as it were to give proof of his perfections.
In this case, it is perfectly reasonable to conclude that the intended meaning is not that of trying “in a good sense”, for there is nothing wrong with that! Yahweh does not, however, tempt or try an individual “in a bad sense, to test one maliciously [or] craftily to put to the proof his feelings or judgments”, as satan did to Yahshua in the wilderness. When Yahshua was tried in the wilderness, PEIRAZO, is used to describe the what He experienced, and in such an instance, it is clearly referring to the temptations of the devil. Is this a circumstance to which Yahweh is immune? Consider the account in Job where the Sons of Elohim appeared before Elohim, and satan was among them (Job 1:6-9). Was not satan tempting Elohim then? And suppose that we continue back to the beginning when satan originally rebelled. Will we deem that as zero-temptation to Elohim, and if so, then why did Yahweh kick Him out of heaven? It seems to me that Yahweh is susceptible to the exact form of “temptation”, if you will, which Yahshua was subject to in the wilderness with satan! You see, in the entire matter of temptation, trying, proving, or whatever you will translate it as, it’s only a matter of whether one falls for the temptation, and of course, Elohim and the Messiah do not. Yahshua bore witness to this in the wilderness, therefore being tried/tempted does not disqualify Yahshua from being Yahweh.

Now we are able to see significant meaning in Yahshua’s words in:
Matt. 4:1 Then Yahshua was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tried by the devil..... [5] Then the devil took Him up into the set apart city, set Him on the edge of the set apart place, [6] and said to him, “If you are the Son of Elohim, throw Yourself down....” [7] Yahshua said to him, “It has also been written, You shall not try Yahweh your Elohim.” (cf. Deut. 6:16)
Satan told Yahshua to cast Himself down, and Yahshua’s rebuke was that Torah commands us to not try/tempt Yahweh. Considering that satan is trying Yahshua here, that was a very powerful statement, for it was indeed Yahweh in bodily form with whom satan was conversing!
[Vs. 8] And satan took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the reigns of the world and their esteem. [9] And said to Him, “All these shall I give You if You bow down and worship me.” [10] And Yahshua said unto him, “Depart satan! for it has been written, ‘You shall worship Yahweh your Elohim and Him alone you shall serve.’” (cf. Deut. 6:13)
So here Yahshua turned the tables on satan again and said, “YOU shall worship Yahweh YOUR Elohim instead.” And because Yahshua was Yahweh under veil of human flesh, that causes the question to be asked:
SACRIFICE
Imagine that it’s 50 AD, you’re a disciple of Yeshua Mashiyach in Jerusalem and you happen to be a Cohen (priest). The knowledge of Mashiyach is spreading like wildfire, people everywhere are entering into the Joy of Mashiyach, they are putting away paganism and false religious tradition and living in newness of life. High ranking government officials and wealthy merchants are entering about the Malchut Elohim (Kingdom) and elevating righteous living. Many Temple Cohen and Leviim (Levites) are trusting in Yeshua as Mashiyach in harmony with YHWH, His Torah and His Mashiyach just like in Acts 6:7 “And the Word of Elohim increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests* were obedient to the faith.” Then, one day (just imagine), the Cohen haGadol (High Priest) comes to you and says he’s going out of town and leaving you in charge of the Temple. Here you are, busy making preparations for the coming week, all excited, ready to take on the new job, you look at your watch and notice it’s nearly supper time, you feel a bit hungry. If your taste is like mine, you would rather appreciate a medium-well rib eye steak (I like mine Chicago) or roast lamb with a baked potato, organic brown rice herb pilaf, butter fried string beans in ginger’n garlic, a glass of dark dry red and a big tossed salad… desert’s for another time….
You are looking forward to something substantial (meat) for supper, you see many lovely healthy looking cattle and lambs being brought to the Temple and you’re in charge… it’s time to put the steak on the barbecue… BUT OOOOPS… WAIT A MINUTE!!!… an uncircumcised effeminate Greek philosopher with a big attitude comes along, waves his hand backwards and says…
“Hell-LO- oh, didn’t you know the pseudo-messiah we inventedalready did away with ALL the sacrifices?”
No more rib-eye from the Temple? OUTRAGEOUS! Who could believe such a thing? Yet, according to the theories and traditions of Western Christianity ALL of the temple sacrifices were done away with the very second Y’shua rose from the grave, but there are very severe problems with this scenario, especially if you are not vegetarian. However, even if you don’t eat meat, you are still going to be at a loss to properly sanctify the fruit, grain, vegetables and nuts that sustain you.
First off, the word “sacrifice” was coined in 1225-1275 CE from “sacrificium”, sacer is a Latin way of saying “holy” which gives you no clue whatsoever of the original intent or meaning of the word. The Greek interpretation also has very sad substitute for the original Hebrew terms for example. The Greek thusia or thuo simply means to slaughter and it was substitute word for Hebrew terms like; kalyil (perfect); zabach (slaughter); asah (do); olah (goes up); and korban (being close). It’s very careless of translators and theologians who take five independent Hebrew words and translate them all into one term. As we can see, these five Hebrew terms are a long way from being truthfully translated into “sacrifice”, it doesn’t work which is why there is so much confusion and false teaching circulating around regarding “sacrifice”. Let’s take the word Korban which means to be close or draw close, the reality is that this magnificent Hebrew word is related to the giving of a gift, when you give a gift from the heart your heart is drawn to the recipient of the gift and their heart draws close to yours. We give gifts because we love to draw close, we show special intimacy with the other person and we do this on many different levels, giving different types of gifts in various contexts. Korban does NOT equal sacrifice, nor does the word sacrifice begin to do justice to the truth of Torah and the intent of Korban. In fact, the Hellenized post-apostolic Greek thinkers who formed the ideas of the Western Church could not have been so brutally ignorant as to make such error, no, they were anti-Semites, anti-Torah, anti-Jewish to the core so their blind hatred caused them to mutilate the beauty of many beautiful Hebrew concepts in efforts to overlay their Gnostic and Hellenized “theology”.
Unfortunately, the post-Apostolic founders of the Roman Catholic Church, who did the translation work for Christian Bibles, came from pagan backgrounds where it was culturally common to appease their gods by surrendering something against their will, the pagans were fear-mongered by a pagan priesthood to give animals and even their children for sacrifice to their gods. This pagan thinking is very prominent within the modern Western Church who is not aware of the original Hebrew understanding of Korban and what YHWH originally intended for His own people. The difference is profound and in antipathy with each other.
Torah requires that there must be reconciliation between YHWH and the sinner FIRST, before making a sacrifice (or any kind of offering) or presenting a gift. A burnt offering allowed the sins of the sinner to be confessed on the head of the animal, the blood was sprinkled against the alter, the animal went up in smoke (an olah goes up). Certainly Yeshua has born the sins of the world, it’s not necessary to lay hands on an animal and confess sin, not only not necessary but unbecoming and contrary to the PERFECT BLOOD of the LAMB. What is important here is the exchange between the sinner and YHWH before the sacrifice is even made! The animal itself is the symbol of restitution, intent and good will that the sinner returns to YHWH and the community.
Imagine giving a gift to someone you love very dearly and they look at you and say… “hey buddy, is one carat the best you can do? You can do better than that can’t you?” Ok, you used to love them dearly right? Now you’re bummed. It wasn’t the diamond you were giving, it was a piece of your heart, the intent of your heart was to demonstrate your love and draw your hearts together in the common love you share for one another. No, this is not a poor example, Christianity has been offered a gift by YHWH but they are spitting on Him, how many examples would you like?
Imagine that someone who hates you invites you to their house for dinner and gives you a gift, a big basket of chocolates, cookies, nuts, dried fruits, wine and cheese! Wow!! You’re thinking wow this is unbelievable, this person really has turned over a new leaf you feel very warmed, but your heart is screaming inside WATCH OUT!!! Then, just as you’re leaving their house they say, “oh by the way, very sorry to bring this up, but I need to ask a very big favour and you are the only person I trust. I need 5,000 dollars to pay off the mafia or they are going to kill me in 72 hours.” The gift was a very deceitful trap, they have no love for you but simply a plan to entrap you into lending them money you will never see again.
When we think about giving gifts everyone knows that the whole point is the truthful INTENT behind the gift, not the gift itself. When we love someone it is NO SACRIFICE to give a gift, giving of gifts is a very wonderful delight that warms our hearts and puts a glow of beautiful memories about our relationship with the other person, the gift brings back those memories. But, we can’t force someone to have an open and loving heart towards us regardless of how many gifts we give them. YHWH has given us life, love and beauty to experience and He Commands that we love Him and keep His Commandments which are to protect and prosper us so then He also instructs us in how to make an exchange of love between us and Him.
The biggest ongoing problem within Christianity (and all other religions) is that sinners do all manner of sin against YHWH and each other and are not required to make restitution, either before or after they’ve “repented.” Certainly within Christianity a person is required to pay something (tithes and offerings) to the priest, but what about restitution towards those offended? What about true conversion of heart that produces a delight to be obedient to YHWH’s Word? What about “drawing close” (Korban) to YHWH so that we are protected in a love bond between us? No, what happens is Christians are offered a theology about Jesus and Grace so they can walk free of all their transgression and continue violating the Word of YHWH and other people, there is very little Korban. Even the idea of the intimate and humble reconciliation between parties is disdained by most Christians as old-fashioned, inconvenient and not theologically necessary. Jesus did it all for Christians so most continue to live like hellians because everybody else is doing it. (Hellians or shall we say Hellenists)
A trespass offering (Korban) is required when there is a breach of faith, when someone acts improperly and sins against that which is Set-Apart unto YHWH. Again, atonement can only be made after there is restitution, even on the day of Yom Kippur it was necessary that confession of sin be made before atonement is extended. The order of things has always been the key to understanding how we are restored unto YHWH after we have sinned, the whole matter rests on the intent of the heart that brought us into sin in the first place and the intent of the heart that must be restored between YHWH and us to bring us back into a right relationship with Him.The “sacrifices” at the Temple were not only prescribed for sin and atonement but also for peace, goodwill, national offerings and they are also part of the food quality and inspection service YHWH requires of and for His people. History clearly shows how the dietary laws in Torah have protected YHWH’s people from epidemics that effected the rest of the population. Today many struggle with all manner of disease that would easily be prevented had they acknowledged the dietary (sacrificial) laws and Torah requirements of food preparation. The “sacrifices” at the Temple are to be done according to YHWH’s Torah, they serve as a model of animal slaughter, butchering and preparation for all Israel and the world, they are not “Jewish” but universal because all Torah is given according to Mashiyach. YHWH raised up Jews to receive His Torah and observe His Word but His Word belongs to Him and it is not “Jewish”, Jews didn’t invent Torah any more than Americans invented coffee or cocoa beans.
“Sacrifices” provided food for those who served in the Temple and sometimes for those who provided the animal, in the case of peace offerings it was a community celebration. Cohanim (priests) were given the breast and the right thigh for food, third year tithes during Succoth were reserved for all Israelites to enjoy together. If a person does not understand Torah requirements for sacrifice it is impossible for them to understand how YHWH intended the Temple to serve as a model of righteousness and of drawing close to YHWH and one another.
The ambience in the Temple was to be one of prayer and holiness, all who entered the Temple were to be ritually clean and have reconciled theirs transgressions with YHWH and one another. It was only in this context of reconciliation that sin “sacrifice” was made, if a person were to conceal sin from the Cohenim and their fellow man, it would soon be found out and they would be required to come clean. Everybody knows it’s not so easy to admit transgression and mistakes, the priests and the Temple served to restore us to YHWH when we struggle with weaknesses of the carnal man within us. The Temple stood as a place where Israelites belonged with YHWH and one another, and there was blessing given by YHWH’s Cohanim (Priests) to help everyone learn YHWH’s intent to establish His unity and interdependence among His people. Without the knowledge of the Temple and the work of the Cohanim as prescribed by YHWH in His Torah, it would be impossible to jump the gap to understand the beauty of the MalkiTzedec priesthood in Mashiyach.
Most Christians go as far as hearing “animal sacrifice” and then reject everything Torah established within sacrifice and offerings. It is not consistent with the Name of YHWH that He would call men to be Cohanim and Leviim ONE day, then the next inform them that they were unemployed in His service. YHWH is our ETERNAL King of the Universe who established His own Priesthood. He doesn’t need to change His own Word or “the Rules”, it is incumbent upon us to understand what He desires for us and walk with Him. The Torah of YHWH is PERFECT converting the soul. The humanistic idea that YHWH is ever-changing and trying to figure out how to make up new and better Laws is laughable (mock-able).
YHWH isn’t the ONE who needs to change, it is our understanding of Him that must grow and change and evolve, WE CHANGE to enter HIS PERFECT WILL. Those who have not been part of the commonwealth of the Israel of Elohim are they who must adapt to YHWH in every generation. YHWH does not change Torah to make people happy in their sin, that’s what paganism teaches, pagans want to be “justified” in their paganism, they want to be affirmed in their rebellion against Torah. Neither Rav Shaul (Apostle Paul) or any of the disciples had the authority to “sanitize” sacrifices for the MESSIANIC ERA, this is very self serving theology that neither understands the Temple, the sacrifices, or MASHIYACH. The Temple stood for over 30 years after Yeshua ascended to His Father and His talmidim (disciples) “were continually in the Temple praising and blessing Elohim. Amen” (Luke 24:53).
The lies and confusion about “sacrifice” being taught in the churches today is an abomination to YHWH, let’s investigate the Hebrew terms closer; kalyil (perfect or whole); zabach (slaughter); asah (do, fashion or make); olah (goes up); and korban (to come near or draw close). These terms are easily found in a Bible concordance and can be studied and investigated by any Bible student, don’t take my word alone, learn for yourself so you understand the importance of true “Korban”. For example zebach Strongs #2077 (used 153 places) , asa #6213 (2,286), olah #5930 (262), korban #7133 (78) (to understand korban see the prime root qarab #7126 (259) to come near), kaliyl #3632 (15). Together these words are used nearly 2,800 times in Scripture and clarify the beautiful elements of “sacrifice” and none of these concepts have been done away any more than love and intimacy has, unless you want to choose to rid yourself of solid Biblical teaching.
Why then did YHWH let the Temple be destroyed by the Romans if “sacrifice” is such a beautiful thing? The Temple was destroyed twice by essentially the same reason on both occasions. The priesthood had turned the Temple into something like a gambling parlour according to Jewish historians, the Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees were in-fighting for political control over the people, they sought money and power at the backs of the people and cheated poor Israelites when they came to make sacrifice and offering. They used positions of authority to deny sacrifices, then turn and sell them for huge monetary profits to others, honest Israelites dreaded going to the temple and getting ripped off, the Rabbis and Priests had become like many used car, life insurance salesmen, creepy sleazy lawyers and TV Evangelists.
Christians have also made their own “sacrificial system” (whether they admit it or not), it happens when they pull out their credit cards and check-books and give money to their churches, and buy meat at the supermarkets. Christians pay their “sacrifices” then they carry the meat back home and barbecue it. Theologians see “shed blood”, forgiveness, atonement, “sacrifice” as their “theology” a cerebral exercise, according to most Christians the Temple sacrifice instituted by YHWH had to be done away with, because you actually had to DO something, rather than intellectualize it. But most Christians eat meat, which is sacrificed (slaughtered) by someone, somewhere, probably by a pagan who doesn’t confess the Name of YHWH as his Elohim and take precaution for your health. Christians go to supermarkets and buy steak and lamb, but their food has not been sanctified according to YHWH’s instruction by those who slaughtered the animals or prepared the meat. Pagans are hot and heavy to curse the sacrificial temple service required by YHWH and His Torah because it is inconvenient to put forth safe and high quality meats and raise animals in a merciful and just way. The Temple service has always been and will always be about understanding and showing appreciation for what YHWH has done for us through His Mashiyach and also about how we are to understand and elevate human life, and we see this demonstrated through the life of animals that are respected and protected according to the Mercy of YHWH in His Torah. Acts 15:20 for example was given by the Ruach haKodesh specifically for non-Jews who were learning to follow Y’shua and of course “born again” Gentiles were to also abstain from blood and things strangled, this is part of the “sacrificial system” of Mashiyach.
The word “sacrifice” is extremely limited in it’s ability to convey components of Mercy, Faith and Justice that is upheld by the office of the Cohanim and Leviim in the Temple service. Pagans pay tithes to pastors and gurus and eat all sorts of treif, pork, swine, pig, eel, snail, vultures, snakes, dogs, horses, and big macs, because their “theology” tells them their “sacrificial system” is more elevated than Torah. But the reality of course is that it’s religious paganism, pagans cannot appreciate the Temple nor the sacrifices because they’ve been programmed to condescend to Jews, disregard Torah, avoid the Name of YHWH and annul the priesthood of YHWH, in favour of their own modernized “sacrificial” system and priesthoods. Not only is the true “sacrificial system” a great blessing and a delight but it protects life, it spreads wealth equally and elevates human worth at many levels and it’s not so difficult to learn or employ that an average person can’t experience and do what Torah requires.
A Cohen who follows Yeshua would not place his hands on an animal and confess the sins of the sinner upon it, he would look to Yeshua, he would not may prayer without confessing the Name of Yeshua as our sin bearer, it would NEVER happen, it’s UNTHINKABLE. If someone were to walk up to the Temple and confess their sins and tell how they asked YHWH to forgive them and presented an animal as a gift, then what? No thanks? But if they could write a check and put it in the offering plate, give some cash or a Toyota then it would be acceptable? Good will is good will, regardless of the type or value of the good will, this is what is at the heart of the Sacrificial System. Without FAITH you can accomplish nothing in your relationship with YHWH, the fact is that your FAITH is demonstrated by exercising obedience. When YHWH required an animal offering for korban there is much more to this than what our minds can intellectualize, theorize or theologize about, simple obedience is an “energy field” of the Ruach haKodesh that brings Oness, Atonement and connection. What Christianity is doing today is akin to the sacrifices of Cain and Able, YHWH required a specific and certain sacrifice but Cain brought his own “alternative” religion.
Keep in mind that during the MalkiTzedec priesthood lamb and steak were on the menu, they even had REAL sour cream on their baked potatoe. Avraham clearly wasn’t doing the rabbinical meat-milk thing (Avraham prepared milk and meat for one meal). There is much more that could be said about the various sacrifices as mentioned in Vayikra (Leviticus), we’ve barely scratched the surface. Christians might think their theology replaces the Word of YHWH, but in so doing they have neglected their own blessings. YHWH is the same yesterday, today and forever. Mashiyach didn’t shed his blood and ascend to His Father so Christians could carry on eating pork blood sausages and defying the Word of the Living Elohim.
No, this paper is isn’t so theologically complex and sophisticated that I suppose it will cause Christians to stop condemning the “sacrificial” system that YHWH gave, my hope is that Christians will THINK about WHO YESHUA is and what TORAH teaches. Even if Christians realize that ACTS 21:22-26 Rav Shaul (Apostle Paul) made sacrifice, it’s still hard for them to understand that sacrifice in NO WAY negates Y’shua’s blood on the torture stake. There was never an animal sacrifice that took away sin, not even the Set Apart sacrifices made on Yom Kippur, these were all shadows that pointed towards the ONE offering made for our atonement by the PERFECT LAMB who is Mashiyach. As difficult as this might be to understand, Yeshua’s blood will not take away sin unless we have FAITH to believe in His Blood and we live for Him and turn from sin, it’s just that simple. Rather if we look into the elements of “sacrifice” we see intimate elements of connection that YHWH intended to secure our personal relationship with Him.
Pagans or corrupt individual do not like to make restitution for wrongdoing, most of the time when they lie, cheat, steal, gossip and do abominable things, they are rarely required to make restitution to those they have hurt, never mind making it right with YHWH and giving something towards the honour of His name for restitution to Him. Pagans live by cheap grace that teaches sin has no consequences but that an ocean of Messiah’s blood is always there to cleanse their wilful sins. Pagans see the Cohanim and Leviim as corrupt Jews who killed “the Christ”. No, we’re not diminishing souls of pagans, we’re pointing out that… OOOPS, the pagans have a pagan way of looking at things. The sad thing is that pagans call themselves “believers”, they believe in god the father, god the son and god the holy ghost, three gods, but choose to follow the son god. Their paganism teaches them that they can disregard “god the father” as passé and old, but Je-Zeus is the new and merciful god… yada, yada. The polytheistic nature of pagan Christianity is the basis of all division and denominationalism within the false Christian church system. Men raise up new denominations like Hollywood puts out new movies, the basis of pagan Christianity is polytheism which denies the One True Elohim whose name is YHWH and whose central Temple system is Universal, from Yerushalayim (not Rome, London, New York or LA).
Why are Christians critical of the sacrificial system that operated in YHWH’s House of Prayer in Jerusalem? How many Levi and Cohen are there in Christianity who are qualified to make sacrifice in the Temple? NONE. They make a big deal about something they have no right to judge, they are not the ones chosen by YHWH to conduct Temple service. Many Christians barbecue meat but haven’t drained the blood, don’t salt the meat and didn’t make sure the animal was slaughtered as unto YHWH and treated with mercy as is required by Torah and teachers like Rav Shaul, Peter and Ya’akov. It is important for followers of Yeshua to acknowledge that it is YHWH Who gave the life animals, Who kept them healthy and fed and nurtured them to become good food for us. It is important to be thankful and grateful to YHWH for a medium well-Chicago rib-eye steak in teriyaki sauce and where it came from. Maybe there are Christians who can relate to this? It’s important for Christians to realize that it’s not wise to speak evil against the “Sacrificial system” YHWH ordained. All Christians have their new improved “sacrificial system”, which is to do what is right in their own eyes, eat, drink and be merry…
The fact of the matter is that it is the SACRIFICIAL system which showed us the reality of our sin and the necessity of MASHIYACH YESHUA, to come as Yeshua Ben Yoseph. If the Sacrificial system had not pointed to Mashiyach and his shed blood, there would be no understanding the atonement, forgiveness or redemption He made for us. Everybody knows that you can’t have the cake and eat it… don’t they? As Netzarim we do not speak evil of the Sacrificial system because we know that it was brought into existence by YHWH for many extremely important reasons. It is foolish and careless to say the sacrificial system which YHWH ordained was a curse, this is done in ignorance by those who do not understand. Food is an important thing, by appreciating food we understand a bit about surrendering our rights to YHWH, sharing our food with others and giving thanks to YHWH for what HE has given us. THIS is one of the aspects of the sacrificial system, yes it points to much greater things like forgiveness and atonement, but FOOD is what is used as a teaching tool. In other words, its not acceptable to toss around a bunch of words and theoretical theology about love in regards to what Mashiyach has done for us, without also giving something in return and what YHWH wants from is is clean hands and perfect hearts. We are required to be obedient and do YHWH’s Commandments as our acceptable sacrifice unto Him, part of that obedience is how we understand and contribute by “sacrifice.” The action of surrendering something of value to YHWH, giving to His Priesthood, giving to the poor, to widows, and to the fatherless is a demonstration of Covenant love. The requirements of showing mercy to animals, providing redemption of firstborn, sharing, equalizing and distributing wealth, upholding community social values, hygiene, health, food preparation and many more considerations were modeled in the sacrificial system in the Temple. The pagan world has undermined many of the values of the Temple sacrificial system and install it’s own pagan priesthood and sacrificial system… which is destroying the planet.
Christians in the West spend about 98% of their tithes and offerings on themselves, they “sacrifice” unto themselves to build HUGE glass cathedrals, monstrous conferences and shows and entertainment, the finest of everything, the 10% cream of their religious tithes go toward making fat pastors and evangelists who go on crusades to build big global enterprises and churches. When Christians speak evil of the Temple and the Sacrifices this indicates how bankrupt their minds are when it comes to understanding YHWH and His Torah, they’ve missed the salient point, it’s not about “theology”. It’s time to leave pagan things behind and enter into the riches of YHWH and His Mashiyach and understand the offerings and the value of giving and sharing administered by the priesthood of YHWH, not man.
If Rav Shaul (Apostle Paul) were to visit a modern “Christian community” he would seek to know the source of the meat before he sat down to eat it, contrary to conventional Christian rhetoric. An animal gives it’s life and dies before it can be eaten, the “sacrificial system” was put in place by YHWH to elevate the value of human life to a higher notch than the pagan world knows. In so doing the value of animal life is also elevated to the point that a little lamb was brought into the homes of Egyptians and Israelites and cared for up to the point of it being slaughtered and eaten, it’s blood marked the doorframe outside the home and brought salvation. Eating lamb on Passover is a reminder, sprinkling blood on your doorpost is a teaching tool. NO, it’s not necessary to do, but it’s not WRONG either. At no time in the history of humanity have righteous Jews put their faith in the blood of an animal to save them, ALL FAITH is placed in YHWH according to His Name and the Covenant He made by His Word in Torah. Think about it! The blood of sheep and goats could never take away sin, not from the very first to the last animal sacrifice made, the idea that an animal can take away sin is paganism. This is why it is telling of Christians who speak evil against the sacrificial system, it shows they have not understood that offering an animal is an act of faith, to draw their hearts closer and be obedient and show good will to YHWH. It’s an act of gratitude, when someone does something good for you, maybe even you invite them over for dinner and fire up your barbecue.
YHWH be with you,
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch Ben Daniel
Note: That as of late fall 2005 and early 2006 the head of the Vatican (hill of divination), or the father of the demons, (whichever you prefer) has made a deal with the State of Israel to control more “holy sites” in Jerusalem. The pagan institution has bid for more world power to install it’s injustice system from Jerusalem, a pseudo Messianic system birthed in hell. It is likely that the roman catholic institution will let the Jewish people build a pseudo-Temple under the governance of Rabbinical Judaism, even now Rabbinical Judaism is concocting new traditions to modernize sacrifices. Will it be a false religious system, yes in many ways, because if Yeshua is not acknowledged as Mashiyach they’ve got the old time “religion” that’s been weighted in the balance by YHWH and Mashiyach and found wanting. The point is, let’s not get Torah requirements confused with the Traditions of Scribes and Pharisees, these are often two different values and institutions. But it is also shameful to speak against the sacrifices of good will, peace, thankfulness and restitution made over an animal that becomes steak dinner for a group of people who are thankful to YHWH for all His provision, the greatest being MASHIYACH!

Shavuot
The Scriptural Version Unfolds
You can never truly know the Scriptures unless you are willing to be changed by them. The true perspective of what really happened on that very special Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks/Pentecost) in Jerusalem is one of these lessons that empowers us in the things of Yeshua to advance the Kingdom of Elohim. The picture of Shavuot (day of Pentecost) in most Believers minds, is that Yeshua’s Talmidim were hiding out in an upper room in Jerusalem on the day of Shavuot (Pentecost), tradition has them as persecuted and beaten down, “holed up” and regrouping after Yeshua ascended to His Father. If you’ve followed the tour guides to the location where the traditional Church teaches it to be, you will find a dingy looking place, small windows with a dusty musty smell, pillars throughout the center of the room and high ceilings. The perception of most Believers has the Apostles hiding out from “the Jews” who were trying to exterminate them. This is what false religion would have you believe, it is consistent with the renegade nature of carnal man who lacks understanding of the One True Faith. The carnal man does his deeds in the darkness, away from the public eye. So it is that renegade and pagan Christianity has exposed itself as fraudulent, by revealing it’s own heart and values and teaching a misappropriated religion that finds itself in antipathy with the True Authority of Mashiyach.
We know that FORTY (40) DAYS transpired from the time of Yeshua’s resurrection after Pesach (Passover) to the time He ascended to His Father. This forty days is a very notable period of time in the Kingdom of Elohim, there were 40 days of rain causing the flood, Moshe was up on Mt. Sinai 40 days, for 40 days they spied out the land, Eliyahu fasted for 40 days as he journeyed to Mt. Horev, Yeshua fasted 40 days and 40 nights. And Scripture definitively states that Yeshua tarried 40 days before he ascended to His Father.
Acts 1 ….3 After His death he showed Himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that He was alive. During a period of forty days they saw Him, and He spoke with them about the Malchut Elohim (Kingdom of Elohim).
Before Yeshua’s departure He made a promise to His Shlichim (Sent Ones/Apostles) and Talmidim (Disciples).
Luke 24
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53 And were continually in the Temple, praising and blessing Elohim. Amen.
The Disciples return to Jerusalem with “great joy” at a time when everyone in Jerusalem was counting the Omer and preparing for the Feast of Shavuot. Based on the Scripture we know three important facts.
It was ten days before Shavuot when Yeshua commanded His Disciples “tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem”
They returned to Jerusalem with great joy
They were continually in the Temple, praising and blessing Elohim
From these verses and many others we know that Yeshua’s Talmidim were in the Temple on Shavuot, NOT in an upper room out of sight from the rest of the people, there is much more to be said about this.
Acts 1
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which he said, ye have heard of me.
Wait for the promise of the Father, which He said, “ye have heard of me”, we know of hundreds of prophecies of Mashiyach Ben Yoseph foretold of Yeshua, but Peter is very bold and he specifically refers to what was happening on Shavuot with a prophecy from Yoel. Acts 2:16-21
Acts 1
5 For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Ruach HaKodesh (Set Apart Spirit) not many days hence.
The Torah was given by YHWH on Mt. Sinai to Moshe, the Ruach HaKodesh was given by YHWH in Jerusalem on the same Feast Day. As the Torah was given for all of Israel, including the mixed multitude that came out of Egypt so is the Ruach HaKodesh given to all souls by covenant from Jerusalem. On the Day of Shavuot, the Shlichim (Sent Ones) were in the Temple in Jerusalem, in full view of all those who came up to celebrate the Feast.
Acts 2:1 The Festival of Shavuot arrived, and the Believers all gathered together in one place.
2:2 Suddenly there came a sound from above like the roar of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
During the time of Yeshua, the Temple was referred to as “the House”, this passage is most certainly not making reference to a private residence because Yeshua’s Talmidim were Torah Observant Jews who were “continually in the Temple, praising and blessing Elohim” the question is, how long is continually? The answer is continually lasted until the Temple was destroyed some 34 years later. It was ONLY TEN DAYS after Yeshua ascended that the Ruach HaKodesh was poured out on His Disciples, they were gathered in THE TEMPLE. The Talmidim knew they were about to be “equipped with power” and they knew that Shavuot was an an extremely important DAY of when the Torah was first given by YHWH to the Children of Israel.
In full view of all those at the Temple celebrating Shavuot the Talmidim received the Ruach HaKodesh, immediately Peter is up on his feet and preaching to those gathered in the Temple.
On hearing the words of Kefa (Peter) the hearts of many were pierced and they cried out, “BROTHERS, WHAT SHALL WE DO!” and according to Acts 2:41 “3,000 people were added to the Kingdom of Elohim that day.”
Acts 2
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the Temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,47 Praising Elohim, and having favour with all the people. And the Master added to the Kehillath daily such as should be saved.
The Talmidim obeyed the words of Yeshua by the leading of the Ruach HaKodesh, they continued to go to the Temple daily from this time on as we read in the next chapter.
Acts 3
1 Now Peter and John went up together into the Temple at the hour of minchah prayer, being the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the Temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the Temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple asked for alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Yeshua Mashiyach of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the Temple, walking, and leaping, and praising Elohim.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising Elohim:
10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
In Acts 4 we see the Temple Police are the ones who arrested Kefa (Peter) because many souls were entering into the Kingdom of Elohim through his testimony and preaching about Yeshua. In Chapter 5 we see that the pattern of going to the Temple just continued.
Acts 5
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
14 And believers were the more added to the Master, multitudes both of men and women.
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, and were filled with indignation,
18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 But the angel of YHWH by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
20 Go, stand and speak in the Temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the Temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
So let’s say you’re a Christian or a Messianic Believer visiting Jerusalem and you’re going up to the Kotel (Western Wall of the Temple) to pray. Think about what this means in terms of that great day when the Ruach HaKodesh was poured upon the followers of Yeshua, and those early days that followed. It’s not just a place where the Jews go to pray, it’s a place were all the Mishpocha (family of YHWH) come together at His House of Prayer and to proclaim Mashiyach and the things of the Ruach HaKodesh.
Shavuot should have a very special place in our hearts as we remember our brothers and sisters going to the Temple, and what happened at this very wonderful time. Yeshua’s disciples were a bold witness to the things of the Kingdom, and this should also guide us, we must understand that the Disciples of Yeshua never hid themselves from their brothers, but rather they brought forth the things of Yeshua so others could also participate in life. The reality is that on that special day of Shavuot in the Temple there was a new beginning for all of mankind to participate together, the pouring out of the Ruach HaKodesh was done in a way that must include all souls equally. Our perspective of the Kingdom of Elohim must be transformed in Mashiyach, we must see that Yeshua will always be the rightful and Just King of the Universe. Yeshua was not in any way advocating sectarianism, but He designed that His Talmidim would minister to all souls, and it was Peter who also had the vision of the sheet being lowered down from heaven and the revelation that the Gentiles would also be given Power from on high. From the days of Moshe there had not been such a magnificent Shavuot as when the Ruach HaKodesh brought LIFE to the people of YHWH. We see also how each one understood the Kingdom of Elohim in their own language, and surely all felt both included and accepted by YHWH, welcomed in Mashiyach and in the Beloved, even though being initially ignorant of Yeshua. In many ways exclusivist theology has reduced the Universal Kingdom of Elohim into sectarianism, exclusivism is more about preservation of man’s institutions than advancing the Kingdom of Elohim.
May it be that the Believers in Yeshua will see that the giving of the Ruach HaKodesh was never meant to be exclusive, but rather the basis for every man to be empowered to walk in Yeshua and become His Disciple. I pray that we will return to the values that Shavuot teaches us, and that we bring unity and boldness within the Body of Mashiyach, that each one who confesses the Name of Yeshua for Salvation will also walk in this Faith. We must be transparent before those who do not know Yeshua and encourage a lifestyle of walking in Him and observing His Torah. If we are ashamed of anything that we do in the name of religion, let it be the things of tradition that do not belong to Yeshua and His Torah.
YHWH be with you,
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch
The idea of the Talmidim being in an “upper room” on the Day of Shavuot was introduced by a Greek Christian named Jerome who confused the location of the Pesach Seder (Passover Supper) and the location where Yeshua’s Disciples were lodging, with the location of the Feast of Shavuot. The Greek translator wrote anagaion (upper room) Luke 22:12, which was the location of Pesach dinner, as was huperion (upper room)
Acts 1:13 where the disciples were lodging in Jerusalem. Greek theologians assumed this to be one and the same location as “The House”, but if they would have known the Scriptures they would have realized we are to eat the Passover in our own homes, not at the Temple, and we are to go to the Temple for Shavuot. Entering into the Temple is a place of prayer and refuge 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Temple was a House of Prayer unto YHWH, a House where the presence of YHWH lives and where He places His Name! Although our bodies are the Temple of the Living Elohim, this does not in any way negate the fact that the Disciples of Yeshua continued to meet in the Temple in Jerusalem. Nowadays many souls are involved in prayer watches and houses of prayer, but there is only One House of Prayer that YHWH chose and ordained by His Word.
In 1949 an archeologist named Pinkerfeld* examined the “upper room” location in Jerusalem after a mortar shell caused damage at the entrance of the Tomb of David, during the War of Independence. Pinkerfeld was to make repairs to the marble floor and the walls that were damaged, in the course of making repairs he concluded that the original building was a first century synagogue since there was a repository for Torah Scrolls in the wall that resembled other first century synagogues. The orientation of the building is also toward the Temple site, not in an easterly direction which was the pattern of later Christian church buildings.
Tithes & Offerings
Giving unto YHWH
Part 1: the problems of giving
Even the “cheerful giver” is faced with the dilemma of how, when, how much and where to give. The “cheerful giver” knows he or she is participating with YHWH as a co-laborer with Mashiyach for bringing about Justice and Peace on this earth. But there are many problems and challenges encountered when stewarding our giving unto YHWH.
“And Moshe spoke unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying,
This is the thing which YHWH commanded, saying, Take from among
you an offering unto YHWH: whosoever is of a willing heart,
let him bring it, an offering of YHWH; gold, and silver, and brass,”
Shemot/Exodus 35:4,5A
willing heart is a heart that has been opened by YHWH to see the needs of others, whosever has a “willing heart” is able to see this Commandment as a delight, but is also conscious that not every ministry that asks, nor every need is equivalent to the other. Some needs are greater than others, how do we know which is which?
“And they spoke unto Moshe, saying, The people bring much more than enough
for the service of the work, which YHWH commanded to make. And Moshe gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying,
‘Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.’
So the people were restrained from bringing. For the things they had was sufficient
for all the work to make it, and too much.”
Shemot/Exodus 36:5-7
For those who are cheerful in giving, it is a wonderful privilege to give and share from the abundance YHWH has provided, there is great peace and satisfaction in proclaiming the Name of YHWH through our giving. The propensity for many cheerful givers is to “over give” from the abundance YHWH has given us, and this was also the case here when the Israelites were giving for the service of the work which YHWH commanded.
YHWH commanded us to give “for the service of the work” but in many other places He asked us to mindful of the widows and fatherless and those who are not able to help themselves. However, let’s consider whether the tithes and offerings that we give are representative of what YHWH asks that His priesthood do with such resources. Clearly there is a huge imbalance today in giving to religious organizations, where over 95% of the billions of tax-exempt monies go right back into the religious institutions and building plans of the board of directors, rabbis and pastors who vaunt after multi-million dollar venues for their flocks. What we are in fact seeing in society is that we are now living in the most self serving time of human history, ever. Where society pays off the poor and needy and starving and un-educated by throwing them a few peanuts once in a while, in lieu of the middle and upper class sitting and kings and queens with burgeoning portfolios and after having drained and exploited the resources of others and natural resources of this earth there isn’t even an acknowledgement for the need of the expansion of righteousness and common good.
As a global community the needs for giving to disasters make it to the television sets within minutes of a natural disaster, but year after year almost nothing is invested to prevent wholesale destruction of lives through immoral businesses, governments and prevent all manner of religious “ministries” that operate on huge overhead costs (founder’s wages and extravagant lifestyles) in the name of “ministry”. The cheerful giver wouldn’t be quite so cheerful when they realize they’ve been exploited and deceived and what they believed was being given in the name of “The Lord” in fact made it’s way to finance the work of the demons. It’s an all too common story that rarely if ever gets told, because the cheerful giver has been led to believe by religious leaders that you just give and God will sort out the rest.
No. The cheerful giver is called to give “for the service of the work” and directly to the needs of those who YHWH has spoken to us to give, not to the middle men, not to the hirelings or hierarchies this is a great travesty.
“Thus says YHWH, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that you build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things have mine hand made, and all those things have been, says YHWH: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my Word. He that kills an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrifices a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offers an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burns incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight.” Yeshayahu/Isaiah 66:1-4
Why does YHWH ask for our “tithes and offerings” in the first place? Why didn’t He just “manifest” gold, silver and bronze for the Children of Israel to use in building the mishkan (tabernacle)? Wouldn’t He have gotten more glory unto His Name if gold just fell out of heaven, or started sprouting out of the earth like mushrooms? When the Ruach of Elohim speaks to our hearts about giving and we respond by giving unto Him, we become enjoined with Him. Our giving is to connect us into His Kingdom and to His people, if we are indeed giving according to His Name and His will.
Our tithes and offerings are given unto YHWH solely to establish and maintain Justice, and it is Justice that will bring about Peace on this earth. We are to give “to” YHWH. There is a huge difference between giving to YHWH or giving to the synagogue or church or rabbi or pastor or to any other cause. Without Justice in our world we labor in vain, the next generation will perish in catastrophe if Justice is not raised up in this, our present eneration.
Many souls confess that they don’t tithe, some give very small offerings, most give nothing in the Name of YHWH or for the single greatest cause Mashiyach has lived and died for, and that is for Righteous Justice. Surely when we tithe and live according to YHWH’s Word, we have assurance that YHWH will see to it that we enjoy our blessings, and prosper us according to His Faithfulness. Yes, and there are groups of religious people prospering all over the earth in many ways, but the reality is that the family of the earth is accountable to one another, regardless religion, race or creed. The Tithe of YHWH according to Torah is designed for universal Justice and Peace, not for one select or chosen people to maintain their economic status or to assume that all their wealth is because YHWH has blessed.
YHWH asks that we have contrite and humble hearts to look upon the real needs of others as He sees them, we are to be our brothers keeper. The Name of YHWH is manifest throughout all the earth, His people are to be the source of Justice and Peace who bring Equality and uphold maxims of law that protect and serve all people everywhere, but first if these values are not elevated in our own communities, they will never become important for us to bring to others.
The Day is coming when people will want to give offerings to YHWH, they will cry out and wish they had lived a life to promote Justice, Peace and Equality, they will wish the work of righteousness had been their priority, but they of course will not be able to. According to YHWH, all their wealth will vaporize because of war, natural devastation and plagues, they will have no offerings towards righteous justice to give…
“because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear:”
Isaiah 66:4
The purpose of wealth is simply to assert righteous judgment on this earth. Avraham is an example as are other righteous men in Scripture whom YHWH chose to explain why He allows blessings on some and not on others. Wealth is a living day to day evidence of how we steward those things that belong to YHWH the Giver of Life. Look around and you will see that most Jews and Christians despise the Word of the Living Elohim and favor their own traditions thus says YHWH:
“For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. They are waxen fat , they shine: yes, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. Shall I not visit for these things? says YHWH: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof?”
Jeremiah 5:26-31
This prophecy is more valid today that it was when YHWH first revealed it to Jeremiah. If we read this prophecy in connection with Daniel and Revelation we discover that the land of Israel was in fact kept from the Jews until 1948 and from the time the clock began to click unto the Israelites would restore the land to what YHWH commanded when He brought the Israelites out of Egypt. In 2017 the cycle will have run it’s course, I clearly looks like YHWH’s people are wary of His Word and not the least bit interested in heeding His warnings. From 2017 to 2030 the signs in the heavens that shown in geometry, mathematics, physics, gematria and other disciplines tell us that the season of the “Day of YHWH” is here. If you knew beyond a reasonable shadow of a doubt that we were living in the last generation, would you change anything about the way you live? About the way you give?
The time of “Ya’akov’s trouble” is at hand, Yeshua Mashiyach Ben David (the Conquering Mashiyach) is preparing to Sanctify the Name of YHWH along with the Word of YHWH (His Torah). The time is now to declare His Great Name unto all the earth. Repent of worldliness, lack of compassion and care and interest in the Malchut (Kingdom) of YHWH.
The whole earth and the Name of Yahweh and His Mashiyach is being robbed by false religious leaders. False governments of this world are making it illegal for you to use your tithes and offerings to advance the Kingdom of Elohim. What is happening now is the world is scorning the Righteous Justice of YHWH and making His Name and Word taboo and unwelcome through all ranks of society.
The adversary has deceived many into giving tithes and offerings to false religion, instead of to YHWH’s work. As it was when Yeshua came to this earth, righteousness did not come from the top of the religious hierarchy, it came from him and from the people who followed Him. Righteousness will not be birthed in a “priesthood”, it will be birthed in you, by you and through you and you will need to hear YHWH’s voice and direct your prayers and tithes and offerings into righteous justice or it will never be recognized as even being a need. Let me give you one simple example. On a small community scale Torah requires that we set up judges in every community, this is known as a “Beit Din” where men volunteer to hear matters and provide counsel and reconciliation. Every one of us is called to be righteous stewards of marriages, business deals, education and conduct within our communities but when there are conflicts YHWH commands that we engage His Torah to bring about righteous judgments and restore His Name. Most people don’t even know that is in their Bibles, yet most of us have been to a court of the land or have a family member who has to try go find justice. Did they find justice?
How often have you heard a judge require someone guilty of a criminal offence to provide restitution for their victim or victims? It’s rare. The convicted might do a bit of jail time and then they’re back on the telephone making new deals. How often have you heard a young couple getting an interest free loan from their community to start their own business, or a young man or woman receive an interest free loan for their university education? That’s a Torah principle that is tied with tithes and offerings. Torah requires righteous judgments and the distribution of wealth in a righteous way but the religious systems of this earth are robbing YHWH each and every second of the day, and have been for nearly two millennia.
“Will a man rob Elohim? Yet you have robbed me. But you say, How have we robbed You? In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, says YHWH of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, says YHWH of Hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightsome land, says YHWH of Hosts. Your words have been stout against me, says YHWH. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against You? You have said, It is vain to serve Elohim: and what profit is it that we have kept His Law, and that we have walked mournfully before YHWH of Hosts? And now we call the proud happy; yes, they that work wickedness are set up; yes, they that tempt Elohim are even delivered. Then they that feared YHWH spoke often one to another: and YHWH hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared YHWH, and that thought upon His Name. And they shall be mine, says YHWH of Hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serve him. Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves Elohim and him that serves him not. For, behold, the day is coming, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, says YHWH of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. Malachi 3:8 – 4:1
Part 2: the solution
The FIRST national offering of Israel was taken up to build the mishkan (tabernacle). The mishkan represents a physical “image” of Mashiyach. The Mind of Mashiyach is in the Holy of Holies, inside the Ark the eser haDibrot (Ten Commandments) are the 10 specific directives for Justice, Peace and Blessing. A person can give and tithe and offer all their resources with the most impeccable intent and generosity, but if they are willfully violating the 10 immutable Laws while they are giving they will in no wise receive recognition from YHWH for their tithes and offerings. A small bit of Justification for our conscience or our ego is nothing compared to true redemption of our souls. Tithes and offerings must be given according to Justice and Holiness, not as a buy out if the giver continues to live contrary to the Word of YHWH.
The Tithe must be obtained in holiness according to Torah and it must be given according to holiness. YHWH is merciful and just to forgive us and help us live Righteous lives, the Tithe is our agreement that His Will be done in Heaven and so on Earth.
Tithes are given in accordance with the Moedim, the Set Times of YHWH. This is imperative because YHWH is calling us to be ever mindful of both the prophetic and natural clocks. The prophetic clock helps us prepare ourselves as the Bride, a Kedoshim (Set Apart people) unto YHWH, and be able to hear from YHWH and His Mashiyach Yeshua to do His will throughout our lives. The Natural clock is our lifespan, how we live, raise our families, prepare for our children and grandchildren, use resources to travel and live as unto YHWH. Our natural time table, goals, dreams, desires and use of money must all be steered according to how we Tithe. The Tithe comes off the top, it is the First Fruits, the rest is our discretionary money for us to choose as it pleases us but also made and spent within the jurisdictions of righteous justice.
In the Moedim (Prophetic Clock), YHWH instructs us how to give our tithes, and He also shows us that we must each directly distribute tithes according to the third year tithe. It is not likely you will ever hear a Pastor teach about the tithes according to Torah and Mashiyach Yeshua, because religious and cultural traditions have made a system of tithes and offerings that benefit their institution, rather than YHWH’s Kingdom. The third year tithe (Deut. 26) is to be distributed by you yourself, directly to the Levite, ger (one who sojourns with you), fatherless, and widow and in this fashion we all see and hear the needs up front and personal. I believe YHWH does this so that we are not insulated from the poor and less “successful” that ourselves.
Tithes are also required to be disseminated according to righteous justice, where a Beit Din may also be led by YHWH is to serve the Body of Mashiyach in administering and giving to the needs. Where are the men who care about these things and who are mature enough to serve their communities in this regard? Most men enjoy recognition, praise, distinction, authority and yes, huge material rewards for their talents and accomplishments. Very few men would consider being accountable to fulfill Torah according to the Word of YHWH with their time and their tithes that they receive from religious communities. The solution for restoring righteousness and justice regarding tithing, is to begin right now. Cut off all tithes and offerings to the status quo. Make a checklist of how YHWH asks His tithes and offerings to be disseminated according to righteous judgments. Refuse to let your tithe take on the boomerang effect to bless yourself, this is wickedness. The rich give donations, tithes and offerings in their own names, they delight in the praise of men. This is of epidemic proportion in Jewish society where the vast majority of giving is in the name of the benefactor who wants to be recognized, rather than in the Name of YHWH for His Kingdom’s sake.
The Israel of Elohim is an International and Universal Body that is directed by Torah and the Ruach of Elohim, not only by local needs. The Israel of Elohim is accountable to YHWH for equalizing wealth and providing Justice and Righteous by tithes and offerings and righteous initiatives towards universal righteous justice on this earth.
This can and will be done only by first having an interest to restoring the Ancient Paths of Mashiyach, and understanding that when Yeshua walked to this earth, He presented Himself as a Living Sacrifice to establish Torah upon our hearts, in our inward parts so that we could have circumcised hearts. Rather than use tithes to live out our “American Dream” we are called to YHWH’s tithes to bring the Kingdom of Elohim to this earth. As in Heaven, so on earth.
The 12 Points of Giving
1. We must study and learn Torah in our hearts to know how YHWH and His Mashiyach direct the Tithe.
2. We must provide tithes and offerings to initiatives that is Torah based according to justice and righteousness.
3. We must only provide tithes and offerings to those who work towards living righteous set apart lives, transparent, and who help raise the standards of Torah for all others. Giving to the wicked is wicked, giving to the contrite and humble and righteous is righteous. The wicked must learn the cause and effect of not practicing righteous justice, not be rewarded for their wickedness.
4. We must only provide tithes to men who administer Torah based initiatives. Be very careful, there are a lot of good talkers, religious men, hirelings who talk the talk very, very well and who know how to play on your emotions. It is these men who are stealing from YHWH and His prophets have spoken this for our day.
5. We must separate our tithes according to the Moedim (set apart times), not the worlds pagan timetable, the reason is this prepares others to recognize the coming Kingdom of His Majesty Y’shua Mashiyach, and it helps others recognize the cycles of working, saving, giving and sharing according to Torah rather than paganism.
6. We must see that our collecting and saving of tithes and offerings also directs our own decisions based on our own needs according to the Moedim. This is important because will better understand how to prepare for the times of Gog and Magog and the Day of YHWH that is soon to come upon us.
7. We must NEVER put material things before Tithes, like vacations, cars, toys, homes, renovations, entertainment, this results in stealing from YHWH and produces heavy loss to our spiritual man. It also breeds discontentment, lack of gratitude and satisfaction of enjoying the things we are stewards of. YHWH Himself promises to send delusions to those who believe in their own lies. The delusion here is that YHWH is blessing covetous souls who love money, power or the praise of men. No one will be excused who has stolen from YHWH and His Mashiyach. Ignorance of the Tithe is no excuse, the truth will and is availing itself in broken marriages, broken families, rebellious children, carnal lifestyles and lack of spiritually and love for Truth. People who steal from YHWH we have no idea the latitude of the repercussions, they will know deep regret when they are visited during a “teachable moment”.
8. We must realize that if we are not tithing according to Torah, we may not experience loss immediately, YHWH is patient, kind, merciful and longsuffering… but we will, because YHWH chastens those He loves.
9. We must realize that when we give the tithe in the Name of YHWH, we declare His Name along with our desire to advance His Kingdom. We never even think about giving in our own names, that is wickedness and we have clear evidence that our reward will otherwise be forsaken when doing so.
10. We must rest on the Shabbat and the Moedim, there is no sum of money that one can exchange for an appointment with the YHWH in the Ruach HaKodesh. There is no sum of money, no tithe, no offerings that can be exchanged for lack of a righteous action that YHWH has commanded us.
11. We must realize that our time with YHWH is worth far more to YHWH than our money. You are worth more to YHWH than your money. Your soul belongs to YHWH. His first calling to you is to be righteous in Him, to love Him with all your heart, soul and strength. The most you will ever have to give is your time to Him. Learn to pray. Learn to have a dialogue with our Father. Learn to hear His Voice when you read His Word. What is the value of your money when you are dead? What is the value of all the material world if it is inherited by those who do not seek Justice and Righteousness and build the Malchut (kingdom of) Elohim?
12. We must give anonymously and not expect monetary or business rewards returning to us through any organization or association. We are give without expecting a return. There are thousands of false Christian leaders, many on television, who tell you to give to get. This is wickedness, it seduces covetous and wicked hearts who think the Father will favor them with materialism if they give. Many of the TV shows plant people in their audiences to lie and testify of deceitful things, these ministries have been caught red-handed lying and stealing from people but they operate under “religion” where they cannot be prosecuted by the state. Beware of covetousness men telling you that YHWH will perform a miracle for you if you give them money. Now, let’s review what righteous justice in giving is.
Today is the acceptable day of repentance. Our tithe is to establish JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS in the Name of YHWH and for the cause of His Mashiyach Yeshua. Where there is justice and righteousness there is also peace. If what you have just read has spoken to your heart then please do something for yourself and your family now. Seek the word of YHWH in your heart and apply your tithes and offerings in a righteous and perfect way. Do not be sentimental about your giving, but be righteous. Learn to understand and differentiate your giving according to the Word of YHWH. Don’t you find it very strange that so many Christian ministries teach about the “tithe” right from the Torah (especially Leviticus) but then say the rest of Torah is done away?
Isn’t is a shame that tithes and offerings are being distributed in an unrighteous and carnal way, so much so that most of what the Church is giving today is towards self-serving materialism?
Are you part of the problem or part of the solution? Are you giving tithes and offerings to the religious beast? The only way you will know is if you take this to heart, read YHWH’s Word, Pray and seek the Father yourself. Do not ask others about what is your own stewardship to do.
Let us return unto YHWH what belongs unto Him according to Torah and His Mashiyach, not according to what is right in our own eyes.
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch ben Daniel
YHWH
REVEALED IN MASHIYACH
Part 1
The Nature of Mashiyach
The Neshama (Spirit) of Mashiyach visited earth along with the soul and body of Y’shua ben Yoseph. As Y’shua is Spirit, soul and body, each one of us is also created with a unique neshama (spirit), and we can choose to live according to own neshama and bring it to life by how we live. Each of us has the opportunity to search out and discover the Spirit of YHWH within us, Mashiyach is the fullness of the Ruach haKodesh bodily. It is impossible to understand the Nature of Mashiyach without being able to reference our own spirit. We can grow our neshama by disciplining our thoughts, words and actions according to the Word of YHWH Who is Mashiyach. It is the Spirit within us that reveals Mashiyach. It is not about theology but a relationship with YHWH and His Mashiyach in which He chooses to reveal Himself to those who seek Him.
The Spirit in Mashiyach is what brings a spiritual birth that permits us to grow in the knowledge and understanding of the Kingdom of Elohim. Because Yeshua was “born of” the Ruach haKodesh, he never sinned, this is what qualified him to be Mashiyach. Netzarim Jews believe in the testimonies of Miriam, Yoseph and all who bore witness to the birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension of Y’shua Mashiyach. The true destiny of ALL who live for YHWH in the Malchut Elohim (Kingdom of Elohim) is to be redeemed from sin and death that entered the world at Gan Eden.
Eye witness accounts and testimonies regarding Y’shua have been handed down by his many followers, originally they spoke in the local vernacular of Aramaic and Hebrew about the many teachings and events that Y’shua gave before and after he resurrected from the grave. Thousands of Jews and Greek followers of Yeshua were willing to be persecuted and tortured, rather than deny Mashiyach, these souls experienced the purpose of life in Mashiyach, physical life became much less important than spiritual life.
Knowing Mashiyach awakens and reveals our own unique neshama that was created in the Image of Elohim. Those who follow Mashiyach are lovers of Torah and “All Righteousness”, because obedience to the Word of YHWH is the key to entering into Truth and connecting with Mashiyach. Those who are derogatory against Y’shua, Torah or the testimonies of the witnesses “know not Mashiyach”, and therefore compare themselves or their peers to Mashiyach. And certainly when one studies the Life of Y’shua it is clear that he was a man of “impossibilities” and “infamy” no other person has been talked about and studied as much as Y’shua. However any soul who hastily rejects Mashiyach is also limiting the potential of their own neshama. Certainly no one who understands the meaning of Covenant, Righteousness, Faith and Judgment would ever accept the “Jesus” religions that are a continuum of paganism, and yet the many false interpretations of Y’shua simply provide more credibility to his Messiahship. No person in history has been more obfuscated and rewritten than the life and teachings of Y’shua and the obvious reason is because the enemy of truth would rather that you never find your way to the real Mashiyach. Everyone who has found their way to Mashiyach has also endured many religious sideshows and been offered plenty of socially convenient religious ideas to cause them to take detours and dead ends.
“she was found with child of the Ruach haKodesh.”Matthew 1:18
Netzarim Jews believe what is written in the Ketuvim Netzarim which records “the Virgin Birth”, as is recorded. It is no mystery why YHWH would choose a woman to carry the child who was destined to be Mashiyach, but those who claim it’s impossible or not probable are overriding the testimony of righteous witnesses. Those who deny the account of Y’shua’s birth have also charged the witnesses with bearing false witness and bringing deception into the world, but on what grounds do people make such charges? What hearsay information do they put their trust in, what person was there who knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that Miriam was not a virgin when she gave birth to Y’shua? The fact is that a group of Pharisees had passed judgment according to their own tradition to bring defamation against Yeshua and his followers. But the record holds that Yeshua was a righteous Jew, born into a righteous Jewish family, eight days after he was born he had brit milah and he lived a life doing good to Jewish people, that made him the most famous Jew of all time.
“And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child,his name was called Y’shua, which was so named of the angelbefore He was conceived in the womb.”Luke 2:21
Y’shua Mashiyach is the Arm of YHWH revealed, from before he was conceived in the womb. The Memra (WORD) of YHWH is manifest in Yeshua, however the Mishchah (anointing) Y’shua was given by YHWH made Him Mashiyach. Y’shua never broke Torah, he never sinned. Y’shua was made a little lower than the angels when he became a nephesh (soul) as are we according to Psalm 8:5. Each of us has the capacity to open our spirits up to YHWH and increase our anointing in Mashiyach, those who deny Yeshua also deny the potential for YHWH to establish His Ruach within them. Most religious souls rather content with status quo acceptance rather than entering into the deeper things of Mashiyach, which invariably causes conflict between the disciple and the staus quo. Many religions teach that YHWH is unknowable, but the goal of Mashiyach is to reveal YHWH to those who would be upright and live for Him.
“But we see Y’shua, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of Elohim should taste death for every man.”Hebrews 2:9
Yochanan, the greatest Prophet of his day officiated the immersion (mikvah) of Y’shua.
“And Y’shua, when He was immersed, went up straightway out of the water:and, behold, the heavens were opened unto Him,and He saw the Spirit of Elohim descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: And behold a voice from heaven, saying,’This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased’.” Matthew 3:16-17
Y’shua being the “beloved son” does not disqualify others from being sons or daughters of YHWH, each one who walks in YHWH is also given a unique anointing. After his immersion Y’shua prevailed mightily against the tempter and went on to reveal the Malchut Elohim (Kingdom of Elohim) to the world. In the course of time Y’shua made enemies of the religious ruling class by exposing their religion and dirty deeds. The ruling class padded wallets, plotted an early morning mock trial, limited the attendance to their own accusers and put Mashiyach to the torture stake before the rest of the people knew it was happening. Under the protection of Roman soldiers the body of Y’shua was put on the stake, some say that his body was flogged and ripped apart so badly that onlookers could hardly tell that it he was a human being.
“He is not here: for He is risen…”Matthew 28:6
“The Angel of YHWH” that is recorded in the Tanakh is Mashiyach, see Genesis 16:7, 9, 10, 11; 22:11, 15; Exodus 3:2; Numbers 22:22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 31, 32, 34, 35; Judges 2:4; 5:23; 6:12, 21; 13:3, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21; 2 Samuel 24:16; 1 Kings 19:7; 2 Kings 1:3, 15; 19:35; 1 Chronicles 21:12, 15, 16, 18, 30; Psalm 34:7; 35:5, 6; 37:36, Isaiah 37:36; Zechariah 1:11, 12; 3:1, 5, 6; 12:8. The Angel of YHWH is given the Name of YHWH, all other angels are not given this honor, but Yeshua (YHWH is SALVATION) has YHWH in his Name, that is why YHWH tells us “MY NAME is in Him”. Yeshua was never called YHWH until he became the RIGHT ARM of YHWH, and had ascended into Heaven. It would have been abominable for his Talmidim to call Yeshua YHWH while He was on earth in mortal flesh, or even to refer to him as “my Elohim” to his face except that they were acknowledging the Spirit within him.
“Behold, the days come, says YHWH, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is His name whereby He shall be called, YHWH Tsidkenu.”Jeremiah 23:5,6
The “Righteous Branch” refers to Mashiyach, YHWH Tsidkenu refers to Mashiyach, “the Angel of YHWH”.The Neshama of Y’shua is the Ruach HaKodesh of YHWH, He said…
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him* unto you.”John 16:7
We each have a unique Neshama (Spirit) and Nefesh (Soul). Mashiyach displayed great emotion and compassion for his people, he demonstrated anger towards those who were stealing from the poor and love for those who had compassion upon others. Let’s consider the office of Mashiyach.
Y’shua is the Arm of YHWH revealed who came in the flesh, but there is no need to imagine two or three beings or persons within a “G-dhead”, this kind of thinking is pagan in origin. It wasn’t until +/- 220 AD that a Greek thinker named Tertullian coined the term “Trinity”. Tertullian and the Greek founders of the Christo-pagan Church (Matt 23:9 says don’t call them fathers) like Marcion etc, never learned about Y’shua from his own followers, they never knew what the Word of YHWH reveals regarding the Unity of YHWH. Most of the Church founders, had no knowledge of Hebrew or Aramaic although some witnessed Hebrew and Aramaic Ketuvim Netzarim writings being in circulation. Tertullian coined the word “Trinity” after reading Philo who coined the word “Triad”, by 375 AD martyrdom over the theology of “the Trinity” was well under way in Western Christianity, it wasn’t until the 12th century that the Church of the East also began to use the term. Philo, got his ideas from the oral Kabbalah which referred to Mashiyach as the “middle pillar”, which harmonizes all the Attributes of YHWH as One. Mashiyach came into time and space, but his Father YHWH exists outside of time and space. When Mashiyach was revealed as the Arm of YHWH we saw “the Father”, but we did not and could not possibly see all dimensions of YHWH’s power and might! How can finite beings input infinite data into our minds and spirits? It’s not possible, but it is possible for Mashiyach, the “Anointed of YHWH”, to reveal the Father to us within time and space.
Part 2 The Revelation of “the G-dhead”
Trinity “Persons of the Trinity”
“the union of three divine persons”
The word “Trinity” is not found in Scripture but the reason it was coined it obvious. The Greek mind was very centered on polytheism, the title Elohim for instance is the plural of Eloah, and Scripture says let “us” make man in our own image, therefore many conclude this is a numerical plural but it is not. It is a Sovereign plural that reflects dimensions of YHWH that exist both outside and within time and space.
It is very difficult to imagine the spiritual nature of YHWH, part of the problem rests with the personification of “spirits”. In the pagan world “ghosts” are given pet names and personalities, and this thinking has also been applied to the One True Elohim, but the truth is that YHWH is One Spirit, not many. The Spirit of YHWH is YHWH, He is not a “person”, and cannot be categorized by man’s numerical or limited dimensional being:
“Don’t you know that you are the temple of Elohim, and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you? If any man defile the temple of Elohim, him shall Elohim destroy; for the temple of Elohim is holy, which temple ye are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17.
The people of YHWH have the Spirit of Elohim within them, and every human soul also has a unique human spirit. “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” John 3:6. The spirit within man begins when seeking YHWH and His Mashiyach, the Spirit within man is not a separate entity of man, it is consistent within man and is known and understood according to the spirit, soul, mind, will, and emotions. Humans experience spiritual things which are impossible to put into time and space with words and description, because these are things outside of time and space and impossible to explain within the material world.
“Persons of the Trinity” is complex, a “person” has an intellect, emotions, will, physical body, and a spirit so to say “persons” of the Trinity is very problematic, simply because YHWH is not a “person”, you are a “person”, I am a “person”. We do find that in Torah, the Neviim, the Ketuvim Netzarim the writers stress that YHWH is Echad, He is ONE. So although the word “Trinity” might suffice as a harmless and quick reference to the G-dhead as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, it is not so innocent a doctrine at all, it is pagan, especially if one insists there are three “persons” of the “Trinity”. Each one who desires to walk in the Way of Mashiyach must also be extremely careful to base our values and understanding on Scripture that was originally revealed in the Hebrew and Aramaic languages whereas the Greek is a vehicular language rather than the vernacular of Y’shua and his disciples.
“Persons of the Trinity”, is not a Scriptural term, it also includes that little and unassuming word “of” which is excessively problematic, think of how we use the word “of” in the English language. “Of” as in caused by, from the total or group comprising of, associated with or adhering to, belonging or connected to, possessing or having, one’s part, containing or carrying, centered on or directed towards, produced by or issuing from, characterized or identified with, with reference to, in respect to, set aside for. For example: Fred that is of Bill’s clan means that Fred is caused by Bill, or Fred is from the total or group comprising of Bill, or Fred is associated with or adhering to Bill, or Fred is belonging or connected to Bill. Ok, you get the picture I’m sure. For someone to declare a teaching called “persons of the Trinity”, persons is caused by Trinity, persons is from the total or group comprising of Trinity, persons is associated with or adhering to Trinity, persons is belonging or connected to Trinity. This phrase puts Trinity as a higher state than persons! as if the “Trinity” gave life to G-d? This is the problem when trying to put the Almighty into a theological box.
The fact of the matter is that “the Trinity” has become the god doctrine of many Christians. The doctrine itself owns the nature of G-d, and this is a very serious offense against the Word of YHWH. The sad thing is that the Trinity doctrine continues the idolatry which was set out according to the Hellenized church (christo-pagan) founders! The doctrine of the “Trinity” has put untold thousands of innocent people to death and the intention of many Christians and Messianics is to keep this wicked heresy alive and continue to put more people in their own theologically fashioned hell! Christians curse people to hell if they don’t accept the doctrine of the “Trinity”, I personally know this first hand, having met some of these sorry lot of Trinitarians. The leader of a Messianic church taught that if one does not believe in the “Persons of the Trinity” they go to burning hell. I appealed to the leader on behalf of one person who had been rudely banished from the Church, he had questioned the authenticity of the “trinity” doctrine. Not only are the fruits of this doctrine demonic and perverse, but it also robs adherents of their understanding the true Nature of Mashiyach, and each ones own Spiritual connection to YHWH and His Mashiyach!
May Christians have their personal identity wrapped up as “Trinitarians,” and rather than consider how they are making an idol out of the word Trinity, a word that is not found in Scripture.
YHWH the Father is outside of time and space. Y’shua Mashiyach operates both outside of time and within time and space. Y’shua is the Right Hand of YHWH who is waiting until all his enemies are put under his feet. The Ruach haKodesh is the Spirit if YHWH, not a person. You have a spirit, you have a mind and body, but one would never separate your spirit from your soul as though they are two different beings, this is where the Church fell into paganism, because the Trinity thinking was brought into the Church by polytheistic pagans.
“Born from the Beginning”
We have seen and also witness in Y’shua that when we do Teshuva (repent of our sin and Observe Torah) and accept Y’shua as Mashiyach and confess his name, that the Ruach haKodesh abides in us. When a person first begins to experience the Joy and Peace of Mashiyach, their neshama (spirit) is connecting with the Ruach haKodesh. This is what it means to be “Born Again”, which is something everyone aught to be EXTREMELY excited about! those who reject the new life do so because they have not experienced their own spiritual existence in YHWH and His Mashiyach. It is impossible for a rebellious soul, a thief or liar, or a sorcerer or anyone who practices witchcraft to experience being born again until they repent and allow the Torah to be written upon their hearts. Being “born from the beginning” is a VERY HEBREW CONCEPT that means to be born from the head, or the beginning before sin entered the world. A rich and famous Jew named Nakdimon came to the Mashiyach and inquired…
“How can a man be born when he is old?”John 3:4
Here is what haMashiyach replied to Nakdimon:
“You are a master of Israel, and don’t know these things?“John 3:10
Mashiyach says something like, “where have you been Nakdimon?” Every Jew who ever read or heard about Torah to any degree should have easily been able to figure this out. It is the Ruach HaKodesh, the Spirit of Mashiyach that must spark our Neshama and restore us to the Father! It’s mind boggling that religious Jews refer to a “Shabbat Bride” but can’t make the connection that the “Bride of Shabbat” is the Ruach HaKodesh, which comes into us according to Mashiyach! There are no substitutes for Mashiyach or for the Ruach haKodesh! There is only One!
“Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Mashiyach which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Mashiyach, and the glory that should follow.”1 Peter 1:11
Every soul who will enter into Life, must seek to be led personally by the Ruach haKodesh, or they will only succeed in religious games. It’s not only Avraham, Moshe and David, and all the Prophets who knew the Spirit of Mashiyach, it is everyone who seeks YHWH with a contrite heart and lives a set apart life in Him. Various religions use alternative names and titles for YHWH like “HaShem”, “Adonai”, “Elokim”, “the LORD”, “Lord” etc, but YHWH warns us through the prophet Jeremiah that “the false pen of the scribes works falsehood” and that we have to look to Him for His Name to be revealed to us. The Name of YHWH is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and are saved. In the revelation of His Name is a wealth of understanding of who He created us to be, the very purpose of life.
We are not “born again” just once in our lifetimes, we are in progression of having the Mind of Mashiyach revealed inside of us each day. We are born by spiritual experiences when we begin new life in Mashiyach, and we grow in this new birth in our loyalty and service to Mashiyach. There is no life in YHWH outside of Mashiyach, if we don’t continue to grow in Him, we become stagnant and begin to look around for creative ways to entertain the carnal flesh. If we don’t love the Truth, and if we are not willing to suffer for Truth and Righteousness sake, then we will be tested and if we choose to fail, YHWH promises to send delusions that we will “believe a lie”, because His Truth is supreme and must be respected as such. What is important to YHWH, becomes important to us. But many people think they have an “in” with YHWH, some actually think they are getting away with rebellion because YHWH knows that they mean well. They have made an image of god that allows themselves to feel comfortable with unrighteous living. However, “…the carnal mind is enmity against YHWH: for it is not subject to the Torah of YHWH.” Romans 8:7 “…know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with YHWH? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of YHWH.” James 4:4 As followers of Mashiyach our mandate is to bring souls into the Kingdom and disciple them in Mashiyach, rather than adopt ideas and values of the world.
In conclusion…
How then is Mashiyach, YHWH who has come in the flesh based on the following verse?
Hereby you know the Spirit of Elohim:
“Every spirit that confesses that Yeshua Mashiyach is come in the flesh is of Elohim:”1 John 4:2
Which answer is the best one?
1) Yeshua represented YHWH by coming to earth in a human form. 2) Yeshua is invited into your Neshama, and the Ruach HaKodesh is writing Torah upon your heart.
Answer 1 is rather popular in religious circles where the onus of everything is put upon belief in Y’shua. However it is false religion that rides on cerebral theology for salvation. Gnosis (knowledge) is Gnosticism that is extremely humanistic that puts the emphasis on what you know, rather that becoming a New Creation in Mashiyach.
Answer 2 is the better pursuit, because even the demons believe in answer 1.
Mashiyach has a Father, He said His Father and our Father, and He pointed us to “the Father” which means that Yeshua is obedient and commands that His followers are also obedient to the Father.
There are Seven Spirits of YHWH, and they are ONE although revealed as Attributes of YHWH. This is why we refer to the “G-dhead” in terms of “emanations” or “dimensions” rather than “persons”, because YHWH is infinite and He has chosen to reveal a “portion” of Himself to us. The portion is Mashiyach!
Mashiyach is the “arm of YHWH revealed” in time and space, so if we see Him, we see the Father, or at least what the Father has chosen to reveal to us. But we cannot “see him” unless we become like him.
Our Faith in YHWH must go far beyond doctrines and theologies that posture man’s theories about the “image of Elohim,” into a spiritual dialogue between our neshama and the Ruach haKodesh. Our Faith must be based on obedience according to the authority of YHWH’s Torah, and every Word that proceeds from the Most High. The only way to enter into the deeper things of the Word of Truth is to study the Word of YHWH in the language it was communicated in. The Truth does not borrow ideas from religion or traditions of men, it stands alone in itself as supreme. YHWH is One and His Name is One. Mashiyach Yeshua is Mashiyach ben Yoseph who came to point us to the Father because the Spirit and Name of the Father is in Him.
YHWH be with you.
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch Ben Daniel
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him* unto you.”
*To complicate things further, Rav Shaul makes reference to an ancient Jewish understanding of “the G-dhead” when he writes, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and G-dhead; so that they are without excuse:” He is referring to the Male/Female components of Natural Creation in connection with the Nature of Elohim, which indicates that homosexuality is an abomination against YHWH. The Ruach HaKodesh is of feminine gender, the Father is masculine, male and female are created in the image of Elohim.
Torah Consciousness
Torahconsciousness is the mind of Mashiyach that enables a soul to see the Torah through the “eyes” of Mashiyach. To enter in to Messiah Consciousness we have Torah written upon our hearts. Torah is defined by Scripture as “INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS”. Torah is the Living Word of YHWH and the Covenant which has been made for all who would know the Creator of the Universe. Each week as we live in and experience a parasha (portion) in Torah, we are being transformed into a Kedoshim (a Set-Apart Holy People) as the Family of YHWH according to our forefathers, Avraham, Yitzak and Ya’akov and also through the example of Mashiyach.
We learn through our forefathers whom YHWH raised up to be the fathers of the One True Faith. We learn how the Word of YHWH (Mashiyach) spoke with Avraham and made Covenant with him and how Avraham entered into a Love Relationship with YHWH, by being visited by the Word of YHWH. We learn about Righteous, Justice, Mercy, and Grace, and we learn about the Righteousness of YHWH that He causes to dwell in His people. We learn how to enter into the Mind of Mashiyach. Y’shua is the Living Word of YHWH made manifest in the flesh. Y’shua Mashiyach has always dwelt among His people in the Spirit of Mashiyach which is the Ruach haKodesh, the Spirit of YHWH that has ALWAYS been among earthlings.
Mashiyach came to earth in the physical body of Y’shua, the man Y’shua carried all the emotion and vitality of a human being but he was animated by the Spirit of YHWH. Through the Spirit of YHWH, Y’shua demonstrated the fullness of Torah by living a sinless life. Torah Consciousness comes about by observing Torah, by trusting in the Word of YHWH and identifying and knowing YHWH according to Torah through the work of the Ruach haKodesh. Torah Consciousness is about having the Torah written upon our hearts by the Spirit of Mashiyach, this is what Jeremiah referred to as the “New Covenant” in Jeremiah 31:31-34. Torah Consciousness is about becoming a peculiar treasure unto YHWH, whether Jew or non-Jewish Believer in Y’shua the Torah is Life and through entering into Torah a person’s spirit becomes trained in Mashiyach.
Religion has cast some very nasty teachings against Torah. Rabbinical Judaism and Christianity do wickedness against Torah by upholding false values and teachings that oppose Torah. Rabbinical Judaism teaches that Torah is not for the Goyim (the Nations) only for Jews, Rabbis teach that Jews are the only true stewards of the Word of YHWH. Rabbinical Judaism teaches Noachide laws for Gentiles, this is a Rabbinical invention bred from the selfish ambitions of the carnal flesh. Rabbinical Jews say that the Gentiles would only mess up the Torah so they refuse to teach Torah to the Goyim. But Torah teaches us that the Ger Toshav (Sojourner) is to be part of TORAH along with all of Israel and that a mixed multitude was on hand when YHWH gave Torah to Moshe.
“All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to YHWH, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourns among you.”
Shemot/Exodus 12:46-49
“Ye shall have one manner of law , as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I Am YHWH your Elohim.”
Vayikra/Leviticus 24:22
“And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH; as ye do, so he shall do. One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourns with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before YHWH. One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourns with you. And the YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you…”
B’midbar/Numbers 15:14-17
Rabbinical Judaism wants you to think they “own” Torah and they’ve put the Almighty into a religious box, they’ve made a golden calf of themselves from which to enslave followers and prevent souls from entering into the Malchut Elohim. The fact of the matter is that most Jews will not have anything to do with Torah or Religion because of how Rabbis manipulate people with their religious traditions. Whenever there is an issue where Jews are seeking freedom of expression apart from Rabbinical authority, the traditions of the Rabbis close up that freedom with more tradition.
Christian leaders teach that Torah is only for Jews only or that Torah has been “nailed to the cross”. This is a convenient way for Christians to live carnal lives while claiming to be “born again”. Christians are adamant about teaching a Greek origin of the Ketuvim Netzarim (writings of the Netzarim) which they call “the New Testament”, but it is in and through Hellenized religion that Christianity established the false identity which teaches that to be “Born Again” means to live according to the doctrines and traditions of a denominational religion. The Scriptures teach that being “Born Again” means to be born from the beginning, to walk in the path of the Perfection in Mashiyach, to become a New Creation and have Torah written on the heart. This is the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31:31-34 yet Christians are wilfully ignorant of the part about Torah being written upon the heart. Theologians spiritualize Torah into a religious oblivion by suggesting that because Y’shua kept Torah perfectly that they don’t even have to lift a finger to allow Torah to be written up their hearts.
At Sinai there was a mixed multitude of people in attendance who fled Egypt along with the Tribes of Israel. Rabbis suggest that Torah was given in 70 languages so that all present could understand Torah. Torah states that the mixed multitude sojourned along with Israel and these non-Israelite souls also entered into new Life, not as second class citizens but as equals who are also considered a Special Treasure unto YHWH. Calev wasn’t born a Jew, neither was Ruth, but both were given extremely important roles in the Kingdom of Elohim, which clearly indicates that YHWH and His Mashiyach intend for the common good of Torah to be universal and not be held hostage by religious status quo groups. There are many examples in Torah that indicate Torah is to be made plain to everyone. Torah is not complicated so that only a group of “lawyers” can understand it and interpret it for others. Torah Consciousness is the ability to know how to live a life pleasing to YHWH and to hear and obey the Word of YHWH and change or lifestyles and be transformed from this worlds value systems.
Torah teaches that YHWH is Elohim and there is One Father and One Elohim (Mighty One) who is known as God. The Word of YHWH is True and Just altogether and all who turn to YHWH and do what pleases YHWH shall be saved from their carnal nature. Torah teaches about “conversion” for Jew and non-Jew alike, the whole nation of Israel after leaving Egypt went through a “conversion”, they all went through a mikveh (baptism) when they crossed the Red Sea. Calev was not born into the Tribe of Yehudah (Judah) he converted and became part of Yehudah. Ruth converted which means she put away paganism and lived according to Torah. Conversion is a term of religion but Torah says we are to make Teshuva (turn to YHWH) and live according to Torah (instruction in righteousness), but conversion for most people seems to be simply choosing a religion or denomination to be part of.
Torah Consciousness reveals YHWH’s authority within the soul, each person is to put away rebellion or religious ideas that are contrary to YHWH and accept the purity of the Word of YHWH as the only and eternal authority for Justice and Truth. Torah Consciousness is the right way to live because it is Truth. But many souls can only see Torah through the doctrines and traditions of men which teach perversion of Torah. It is Torah which provides the most complete and equal Justice system for mankind, yet many religious people see Torah as either a harsh set of legalistic requirements, or as though they alone have exclusive rights to Torah, this is what religion teaches about Torah because all religions are designed to protect themselves from certain extinction.
Torah Consciousness is Messiah in us, the Hope of Glory because Love is Perfected by obedience to Torah. Torah is the government of Mashiyach because Torah was and is given by the Spirit of YHWH and is therefore Perfect. King David said that the Torah of YHWH is Perfect converting the soul, therefore it is incumbent upon each one to learn about Torah not from a religion about Y’shua (or Jesus) but from the Spirit of YHWH reveals Torah to mankind. In other words there is a big difference between listening to what religious people think about Torah and listening to YHWH who revealed Torah. When the Spirit of YHWH reveals Torah there is no burden of DO’s and DON’Ts, or a negative “do we have to do this?” but rather we find LIFE in Torah and we see how observing Torah extends our spiritual being into the Olam haBa (Word to Come). The only element of mankind that is eternal is our spiritual (neshama) being our flesh and soul is temporary but there is a part of our soul (identity), will and emotions that is mixed within our neshama. In other words we know that water is made up of oxygen and hydrogen and so is our “soul” a mixture of spirit and human (carnal) thought, but in reality we are not necessarily cognisant as to what percentage of our thoughts are in Mashiyach and what percentage are outside but there will be a separation once Mashiyach returns.
Torah Consciousness comes about by observing Torah. As we observe Torah our spirits gain the “thoughts” of the Spirit of YHWH, we see how time belongs to YHWH and how He has ordained Shabbat to protect our spirits and draw close to him. Religion has made Torah a burden and a disdainful thing because Torah judges the hearts of man by offering a choice to be obedient. Religion also offers a choice to be disobedient to YHWH.
Torah Consciousness is the Mind of Messiah because it was the Word of YHWH (Mashiyach) who gave Torah to Moshe. There is a religious veil over many eyes when they approach Torah because of what man’s religions have done to make void the Torah in favour of religion. One example of Torah Consciousness is regarding RESTING IN YHWH. There remains a Shabbat (REST) for the people of Elohim. The Seventh Day Shabbat is a time when we cease from our own labors and enter into the labors of the Malchut Elohim which is prayer, study, meditation on the Word of YHWH, singing, rejoicing, fellowshipping, learning and sharing etc about YHWH and His Mashiyach. But the Shabbat is being taught as a burdensome thing by false religion, some religious people even state that “we don’t have to keep Shabbat”! They don’t “have” to keep Shabbat? How shocking and telling of their motive to do what is right in their own eyes. So religious people make up their own celebrations and make void the Moedim (appointed times) of YHWH by their own traditions. YHWH’s Word says that we should REST IN HIM, but the tradition of man says no.
Torah Consciousness is knowing that Torah is the unchanging WORD of YHWH.
As we read and study Torah we glean spiritual and natural truths about Life and the Giver of Life. We can see how much YHWH loves His Creation and how He has given purpose for each soul. What we never see in Torah is anyone being marginalized or lessened by Torah, it is the choices of each individual to do good or evil by which they value their own life. Each soul is highly prized and extremely valuable because we are made according to the “Image of Elohim.” YHWH imparts a portion of Himself into every person and Torah Consciousness is our connection in Him. As we invite the Ruach haKodesh into our hearts, minds, souls and spirits we grow in Torah Consciousness and are able to differentiate between good and evil behaviour. Before Y’shua came to earth Torah provided the only avenue to Messiah Consciousness, it is Torah that reveals the Mind of Mashiyach. When Y’shua came he demonstrated how Torah is to be written upon the heart, he magnified Torah within the thought of man. What we think in our heart about others is how we are judged because Torah is spiritual and internal, not external. It is Gnosticism and religion that made Torah into an “Old” Testament and taboo among the intellects of the modern area, both religious and secular.
Y’shua is the Living Torah so if we observe Torah, the Spirit of Mashiyach abides in our hearts like that of our forefathers Avraham, Yitzak and Ya’akov. It is Mashiyach who lived in King David’s heart, the Ruach haKodesh inspired David to write the beautiful psalms of love and life according to the revelation he was given in Mashiyach. David saw the beauty and majesty of YHWH through being obedient to Torah and observing YHWH’s Word. However the carnal man would rather focus on David’s failing and his humanity rather than his triumphs as a spiritual man who YHWH chose as King of Yisrael.
Torah Consciousness brings an end to our own agendas, and we learn to live according to righteous living and become a peculiar people from the world who are full of the Joy of YHWH. Our heritage is together as one people in the Kingdom, Jew and Ger Tsedec who fear the Living Elohim and call upon His Name. As Avraham went to himself (Lech Lecha) so must each one of us in Y’shua go within ourselves and let Mashiyach transform us into new Creations, this is Torah Consciousness. Abram became Avraham, Sarai became Sarah, Ya’akov became Israel and so it is that each of us becomes a New Creation by the revelation of Mashiyach as the Arm of YHWH revealed. As we observe Torah we also see that the teaching of Y’shua is universal and righteous, there is no fault in Mashiyach but Mashiyach points us to a higher and greater calling that brings Justice and Equality to earth that is otherwise not available. We choose Mashiyach and observe Torah, salvation is not a passive religious thing, we must choose to walk as Y’shua walked and Y’shua observed Torah and in so doing we guard ourselves from false religion and false teaching. Torah Consciousness is the work of the Ruach haKodesh which sharpens our senses towards the Kingdom of Elohim and makes us Kings and Priests unto YHWH and His Mashiyach.
The only way we can experience Torah Consciousness is to become Torah Observant, we cannot understand unless we do. We cannot make a theory about obedience, Torah or a doctrine about Torah or Mashiyach. We are called to enter into Torah, we must live Torah and the Word of YHWH must be coming out of our mouths, it must be upon our hearts, we must teach Torah in order to know and understand the Greatness of the Word of YHWH in Mashiyach. As we seek to know Truth and Justice we quickly learn that Torah is the highest form of Justice because Torah is given to us by The Lawgiver who is YHWH. Torah and Mashiyach are One. This is the Mystery that is revealed in and by the Ruach haKodesh. Our challenge today is not that we don’t have access to Torah, but that religion has “filtered” the Word of YHWH and translated Truth according to man’s religion, religion fractionalizes the Word of YHWH and thereby makes Torah Consciousness a detestable thing. Rabbinical Judaism has made Torah void by tradition and has kept Torah from Gentiles. Christianity has made Torah void by it’s tradition and attacks those who have Torah written upon their hearts making them enemies of the Church.
Torah Consciousness is a continuum from B’resheet/Genesis through Revelation and to the Olam Haba (world to come), Mashiyach is the door to Torah Consciousness, whereas religion is a detour. Torah is not words written upon a scroll, it is Life in Mashiyach, it is YHWH breathed, it is the Mind of Mashiyach and the Spirit of Mashiyach revealed, which is why the forces of evil are so intent on putting a religious mask over both Torah and Mashiyach. As Shaliach Shaul stated in Romans 7:14, “the Torah is spiritual”, it is the presence of Mashiyach that is revealed by the Ruach haKodesh. Religion translates Torah as “the law”, this is deception because Torah is YHWH’s instruction in righteous living, not an outward code of do’s and don’ts as in man’s statutory or criminal laws. The precedent of Torah is Mashiyach and has always been Mashiyach because Mashiyach existed before the foundations of the universe. If there is something wrong or incomplete with Torah, then there is something wrong and incomplete with Mashiyach because the Word of YHWH is indivisible which is also why the carnal World rejects both YHWH and His Mashiyach and His Word, whereas man’s religion tries to divide Torah from Mashiyach. It is common knowledge in both Christianity and Judaism that the Word of YHWH gave Torah to Moshe and Mashiyach is the Word of YHWH who came in the flesh. Everything from YHWH comes to us in Mashiyach because YHWH is outside of time and space but Mashiyach is the connection between YHWH and man. Y’shua stated:
“For if only you had believed in Moshe, you would also be believers in me, for Moshe wrote concerning me. And, if you do not believe the writings of that man, how will you believe my words?”
John 5:46
To believe in Moshe means to put trust in YHWH, that His Word is Set Apart, Just and Good. To believe in Moshe means to observe Torah and be obedient Israelites, whether one considers themselves to be spiritual or natural Israel. Believe (amawn) in Hebrew is the basis of the word Faith (emunah) therefore belief is not a cerebral or intellectual knowing but to “be”, to intellectualize (or believe things about) Moshe and Torah and Mashiyach is much different than to do. Belief is to know and experience something personally, not theoretically. If you are disobedient to YHWH’s Word then you don’t believe the Word of YHWH, those who are disobedient to YHWH have denied Mashiyach.
False religion intellectualizes John 5:46 to mean that Moshe prophesied of the person of Y’shua as Mashiyach, but this is not the point. The point is that those who are obedient to Moshe are being obedient to Mashiyach, because Moshe is a type of Mashiyach. Moshe brought the Word of YHWH, written by the finger of YHWH to his people. Mashiyach is the handiwork of YHWH he is the Living Torah revealed, therefore those who make void Torah, are in fact bringing Mashiyach to naught and are nullifying their own existence in the Malchut Elohim. To increase our level of Torah consciousness we must observe and do Torah, and this is pleasing to YHWH and His Mashiyach because this sanctifies (sets apart) our will and actions as YHWH’s children.
There is one Torah and only one. Torah is the continuum of YHWH’s revelation to mankind from Adam and Eve right through the times in which we now live. YHWH’s instruction is magnified in Mashiyach, Torah consciousness is increased in Mashiyach as thoughts, intents and motives are judged by the Ruach haKodesh according to the Spirit and Word of YHWH. Disciples of Y’shua bring every thought into subjection to Mashiyach therefore Torah Consciousness in Mashiyach is dynamic and has unlimited potential to transform the sinner into the image of Elohim.
David stated that the Torah of YHWH is perfect converting the soul (Psalm 19:7), because David could see Mashiyach in Torah, and Torah in Mashiyach. Notice that the word shuv (converting) really means to return to and this is what it means to be “born again.” It means to return to the beginning as if you had been brought back to the beginning with Adam and Eve before sin entered. Therefore Torah Consciousness is this connection between us and YHWH, according to the Malki Tsedec priesthood. We must also bear in mind that YHWH Tsidkenu is the office or title that Mashiyach reveals and these things are his attributes that are gained according to Torah Consciousness. So what then is Torah Consciousness? It is haMishchah (the anointing) of the Ruach haKodesh because it is the Ruach haKodesh that writes Torah upon the heart.
If you are new to Torah Consciousness and have a desire to be obedient to YHWH then let the Spirit of YHWH guide you into all Truth. Refuse to be disheartened by the negative attacks against your willingness to be obedient. Reject the religious platitudes that Jesus observed “the Law” so that you don’t have to. Reject the false prophets and teachers who spiritualize Torah as a way of breaking Torah and who elevate their intellectual models of belief over the simplicity of observing Torah and delighting to keep the Word of YHWH through obedience. When we treasure the Word of YHWH in our hearts then we are as children who are obedient to our Heavenly Father and not trying to poke holes by our own human reasoning into the “Old Testament”. YHWH is the same yesterday, today and forever he changes not, we are the ones who have “changed” and therefore it is incumbent upon each of us to return to YHWH.
YHWH be with you,
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch Ben Daniel
ps when we speak of Mashiyach before Y’shua came to earth we are referring moreso to the Spirit of Mashiyach, which is the Ruach haKodesh. Mashiyach is the Word of YHWH. Before Mashiyach came to earth he appeared as the Messenger of YHWH who has a different office than other Messengers. Mashiyach appeared to Avraham and Joshua in the form of a man, and in the same form when he walked around the Galilee as Y’shua. There would be no reason for YHWH to reveal another persona of Mashiyach but the point is that his flesh is not YHWH and it is contrary to Torah to emphasize his outward appearance. We are instructed to not make images of anything in heaven or on earth because it is idolatry and paganism to worship the form of a man, even if we think our intentions are pure. Will Mashiyach look the same when he returns? Yes why wouldn’t he, but Mashiyach ben Yoseph is an extended work of Mashiyach ben David, “they shall look upon me whom they have pierced and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn” (Zechariah 12:10). When Mashiyach ben David comes it will be to fulfill the office of earthly Government of YHWH, when he came as Mashiyach ben Yoseph it was to point earthlings to the heavenly Government and Creator YHWH, his Father. He came first to write Torah upon our hearts and he will return to establish his Torah government throughout the earth.
Maybe you’ve also heard Christians say, “we don’t keep a Sabbath on Saturday because every day is holy”… ever hear that? Does that sound right? Can every day be holy? The reason it doesn’t sound right is because it’s a lie. Either these folks are ignorant of Shabbat or of what “holy” means, more than likely they are rather ignorant of both. Does one find Scripture that teaches “every day is holy”? No! This is most definitely NOT found in the Bible! It’s a religious cliché, a status quote Christo-Pagan religious slur, a lie against the Word of YHWH and His Mashiyach!
Search through all Christian translations of the Bible, you will never find this “theology” anywhere, it doesn’t exist. But it’s a very common lie, it easily comes off the lips of many because “everybody’s doing it”. I’ve heard it from Jehovah’s Witnesses, Baptists, Evangelicals and many flavours of Churchianity who meet for Sunday church services, or Wednesday night for Bible study, or Thursday etc. Christians think that just because they meet on a particular time for “church” or “worship” that they sanctify the day like a Shabbat as being “holy”. NO, that’s a lie.
Apostle Paul said it this way; “He that esteems a day, esteems it for his Master; and he that esteems not a day for his Master, he does not esteem it…” (Romans 14:6). Apostle Paul observed Shabbat as did Y’shua and all the talmidim (disciples) because they were obedient, they lived Torah observant lifestyles. Notice that Rav (teacher) Paul clearly distinguishes “a day” and that each one “esteems it for his Master” so the question is WHO is YOUR Master? Do you follow Tertullian, Ignatius and Marcion, the Greek Church Founders who did away with Shabbat or do you follow Mashiyach Y’shua who is MASTER (Lord) of the Seventh Day Shabbat that begins sundown Friday night? Who do you serve, a religion about YHWH or YHWH Himself? There is no way that the same G-d would institute Shabbat at Creation of the world, make it punishable by death for whoever breaks it, and then break it Himself by saying that His own people can go ahead and violate it. If I truly believed that I would go shopping for another G-d, because anyone who believes their G-d would do such a thing has a narcissist G-d!
The Netzari (Nazarenes are the original Jewish followers of Y’shua) never assimilated into Western Greek based Christianity, it was men like Ignatius, Tertullian and Marcion who came up with the “Sunday alternative” to suite their Greek culture, this is historical fact. Sunday is the man-made religious sabbath of Christo-Paganism. The Catholic church of course credits itself for making the change and even goes as far as to say that all Christians who go to church on Sunday are under the umbrella of the Catholic church because she instituted Sunday as “the Lord’s day” when Jesus arose on Sunday morning with the sunrise. Wait a minute? Christian Bibles say that while it was yet dark they went to the tomb and Y’shua had already arisen? (John 20:1) oops yet another lie. The fact is that Y’shua arose on Saturday afternoon before sunset otherwise he would not and could not have been in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights like he said he would. In fact Y’shua said that as Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights, so would he be in the tomb. Please understand that the truth is simple to understand but lies are convoluted and difficult to explain, so people have to go to seminaries and get PhD’s to learn how to weave the age old religious lies against YHWH and His Mashiyach.
There is that other thing that rises on Sun-day morning called the sun. Not s-o-n, but s-u-n, that big bright ball right over our heads that gives light and nicely tans our skin and warms the earth for us. SUN-day was called Sunday because of sun-worship and the Catholic Church adopted and assimilated many pagan traditions right into it’s “Christian” worship. Sun-day became the “official day” of worship in early Greek and Roman Churches, but back in the Land (Jerusalem) and throughout Israel, the Churches of the East and all original followers of Y’shua (both Jews and Greeks) observed Shabbat for hundreds of years after Mashiyach ascended. The first non-Jewish convert who received the Ruach haKodesh (Set Apart Spirit) in Mashiyach was Cornelius (Acts 10:2) who was “righteous and feared Elohim.” What makes a man “righteous” and given to the “fear of Elohim” is that he is not a pagan, he surrendered to Yahweh and he keeps the Commandments. There is no middle ground here, the Scripture clearly tells us that Cornelius was a righteous Gentile with the Fear of Elohim. So if we turn to Scripture we discover that Cornelius kept the Commandments. If we turn to Pharisees for their interpretation we find something entirely different. To be a righteous Gentile means to come out of Babylon and observe Torah.
Let’s not take any detours into “Jewish” or Christian religion that make void the Word of YHWH and deny Y’shua as Mashiyach. In reality the Pharisees have plenty of man-made laws to ensure that Gentiles never enter into the Kingdom, which is why Y’shua said “woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore you shall receive the greater damnation. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.” Matthew 23:13-15.
There is a very large brazen rebellion against the Ancient Path, the Truth of Scripture. Everybody knows that lies get very complicated, Christians need scholars and PhD’s to explain these very “difficult” things of Scripture, how their systematic theology of “Sunday” evolved. Lies get very complicated, but Truth is very simple and straightforward, for example:
“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Yahweh, honourable; and shall honour Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words: Then shall you delight yourself in Yahweh; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it. Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your Elohim (G-d), and your sins have hid His face from you, that he will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perverseness. None calls for justice, nor do any plead for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.” (Isaiah 58:13-59:4).
It’s sad how Christians spin this verse by saying that it only applies to “Israel” or “the Jews”, but in the very next breath they will say that “we are Spiritual Israel.” That’s like someone saying that they’re “almost a virgin”, or “almost pregnant”, no, you either are or you’re not. You are either “Spiritual Israel” or you’re not, and it’s really not that complicated. To be Spiritual Israel or, “spiritual anything” it means that you have a spiritual connection that is based on “spiritual values”, your core identity is not of the flesh but of a spiritual calling. If you are Jewish then you have a physically genetic link to Jacob and you may or may not be “spiritual Israel.” If you’re Jewish then by accepting Mashiyach and observing Torah you become “spiritual” otherwise you are known as “hiloni” which means “Hellenized”, secular or “back-slidden” for lack of a better term.
You are either “Spiritual Israel” or you’re not! Interestingly enough there are some Christian sects who have learned that they can’t call themselves “Spiritual Israel” and be disobedient to Torah, at least they are being honest in that regard, but then they turn around and become “Replacement Theologians.” They don’t call themselves “Spiritual Israel” but “the Church” and like the JW’s who have “Kingdom Halls” they see themselves as “the Kingdom,” but in fact the Kingdom of Elohim existed long before “the Church” (see Shemot/Exodus 19:6). And the problem with the JW’s theory is that they’ve made their own kingdom rather than enter into the one that YHWH made in His Mashiyach Y’shua, there is a very big difference between the two.
What a wicked web we weave when we learn how to deceive.
There is only One Shabbat that is holy, it occurs one day a week at sunset on Friday night until sunset at the end of Saturday. This Shabbat began at Creation, when the Creator of the Universe rested on Shabbat. Who really “rested on the Seventh day” after Creation, according to most Christians?
“and by him was created everything that is in heaven and on earth, all that is visible and all that is invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; everything was through him and was created by him” (Colossians 1:16). Aramaic English New Testament by Andrew Gabriel Roth.
Yes, it’s true that most Christians already know that MASHIYACH created all things. That’s what their own Bibles say. It’s VERY, very clear. We can also turn to Psalm 33:6, John 1:1-5 & Hebrews 1:1-5 and many other places. Mashiyach rested on Shabbat, but let me explain something, as you saw above I quoted from the Aramaic English New Testament for a reason. Aramaic is VERY specific because it say “by” him whereas Greek and English translations have “for” him, see the difference? In reality this is a VERY Jewish concept. Mashiyach is the Arm of YHWH. Mashiyach is everything in time and space as it relates to “the Father” who is ein sof (without end or infinite). So it’s not that Y’shua the man, the soul or person who revealed “the Father” created all things, no, it’s the Spirit of YHWH who is in Mashiyach as the “Arm of YHWH” who is Creator. In other words the Spirit of YHWH always existed but at a point in time YHWH extended His power into time and space and when He did so He revealed Mashiyach. Even before the angels existed Mashiyach existed. But we must not only see Mashiyach as “the person” or soul of Yeshua but as the action or interface between finite and infinite.
Shabbat is also an “interface”, when we “rest” on Shabbat we don’t just have physical rest. Do you really believe that YHWH was tuckered out after six days of creation? Do you think he needed a break after all that heavy labour? NO, we are talking about “divine rest.” Mashiyach is “divine rest” so those who can’t stop what they are doing in the mundane world and enter in to Shabbat aren’t very spiritual beings. The material world provides many satisfying and pleasurable things but it’s all petty compared with “divine interaction” with the Ruach haKodesh.
Certainly there are many who claim to have a high level of spirituality but if we can’t even stop our mundane conversations and thoughts for ONE day a week and enter into Mashiyach, then how “spiritual” are we? Many Christians would rather debate theology than enter into Mashiyach, but there is a deep beauty in having a simple obedient lifestyle, setting Shabbat apart as SET APART (Holy) unto YHWH. Because there is only one day that is Kadosh, that is sanctified for REST, and we are talking DIVINE REST that cannot be manufactured by religion.
For those who are not Jewish and who may be reading this, here is VERY good news for you:
Thus says Yahweh, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man that does this, and the son of man that lays hold on it; that keeps the Sabbath from polluting it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil. Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying, Yahweh has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. For thus says Yahweh unto the eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and take hold of My covenant; Even unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off” (Isaiah 56:1-5).
So we see clearly that Yahweh has called the stranger (ger) to join with His people and delight in His Sabbaths. This is both ancient and prophetic teaching that goes from before we arrived until Mashiyach returns and beyond. Those who are not Jewish by blood are called to enter into YHWH’s Shabbat and experience the fullness of YHWH’s blessings on their lives.
Shabbat has always been about a relationship with YHWH and His Mashiyach, not about a doctrine or a theology about Him. If you haven’t experienced Shabbat why not consider entering into this wonderful experience that is far beyond anything else on this earth. Think about what really matters. Think about what it will be like in the Kingdom of Heaven, will it really matter if people criticized and condemned you as being “Jewish” or being a “legalist” or a “Judaizer” when you have entered into Life in Mashiyach.
This world as we know it is passing away and all the false religions within it are fading to black, but Mashiyach says his people will shine as bright as the stars. YHWH is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him and now is the time to experience His Divine Presence like never before. It is not necessarily how you observe Shabbat, but that your heart is soft and open to our Father in Heaven, that you would say “hineni” here I am Abba to do your will. If you’ve never experienced Shabbat before then please don’t ask others how to do it, learn for yourself, ask YHWH Himself, pray, learn to have joy in the Father and His Son Y’shua on His Set Apart Day. Please don’t go looking to religions, even like Orthodox Judaism to teach you how to pray or how to observe Shabbat or any Christian religions, just look to the Father. Shabbat is His DAY. Religion does not own the truth, religious leaders are not necessarily representing YHWH, often they make war against him because that’s what people are comfortable. Nothing has changed in nearly 3,000 years when it comes to a “priesthood” forming a rebellion against YHWH. Please read Isaiah 30:9-11, Jeremiah 6:16, Malachi 1:6, if you’re not sure about this.
Teach me your ways. Write your Truth upon my heart. Let me experience All Your Ways that you want for me. Let my heart be open and teachable so that I will not lean on my own understanding, but lean on you.
May you draw closer to YHWH and His Mashiyach Y’shua each Shabbat as you experience the Way of Messiah Y’shua.
YHWH be with you,
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch ben Daniel
PS Isaiah 30:9-11 the people did not want to hear the Word of YHWH, they preferred their own religion. Jeremiah 6:16 YHWH offered His people “rest” for their souls but they refused. Malachi 1:6 YHWH says that He is a Father but that those who say they follow Him do not honour Him as a Father and those who say that He is their Master do not honour Him as The Master. The prophets speak the truth that is timeless, this is exactly what “the Church” is doing today, many are saying “LORD, LORD” but refuse to honour YHWH and keep His Commandments, the early Greek Christian Church founders made up their own commandments, which are referred to as “the commandments of men” and everyone will be judged according to whether they were obedient to YHWH or not, not by how well they kept religious traditions.
A CELEBRATION OF PRAISE UNTO YHWH
“David danced before YHWH with all his might;
and David was girded with a linen ephod.
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of YHWH
with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.”
2 Samuel 6:14-15
Many only know of the world’s version of dance, but there’s a radical departure from this that pertains to the “dance of Mashiyach.” King David danced, and had very good reason. The King of Israel celebrated the Ark of YHWH being brought up up to Jerusalem, the City of David. The ark contains the Covenant YHWH made with His people, expressing His Love, Justice, Peace, Equality, Prosperity to His people. The Eser haDibrot (Ten Commandments) indicates how YHWH is intimately involved with each of us. YHWH our Father knows us better than we know ourselves. King David celebrated the fact that YHWH chose him as King and that YHWH’s Torah is altogether Righteous.
The dance of David was an outward celebration that YHWH created within us, YHWH chose us and we belong to Him. We have great Joy and confidence in His love towards us, knowing that YHWH sent His Mashiyach to establish His Word, and to make Atonement for us and Deliver us. Our physical bodies therefore express the inner Joy of YHWH’s Spirit living inside of us. Who He is to each of us, what He he means to us is expressed by our worship towards Him. The Dance of David was unto YHWH and His Mashiyach, a dance of unmitigated Joy and Celebration.
Upon first glance of the Kadosh (Set Apart) Scriptures we see that the dance is very straightforward, but it is also a complex and important aspect of truth and covenant undergirding it, one of the root words for the “Feasts” of YHWH contains the word from which the word dance is closely associated.
And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh,
Thus says YHWH Elohim of Israel, Let my people go,
that they may hold a CHAGAG (feast) unto me in the wilderness.
Exodus 5:1
And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth,
eating and drinking, and CHAGAG (dancing), because of all the great spoil that they had
taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
1 Samuel 30:16
The same Hebrew word chagag or chag means feast and implies dancing, it is also translated as holy day, solemn feast and in eight places as, “keep a feast”. The feasts of YHWH are a time to join together in unity, dance is a visual demonstration of this unity and joy before our Father YHWH. YHWH requires and instructs us to express joy and gratitude for the things that are pleasing unto Him and in everything we also find delight in Him.
Meditating upon YHWH and remembering the blessings He showers upon us makes our souls want to dance and rejoice in Him. The mighty Hand of YHWH provides Justice, Mercy and Peace for our souls and for our families, our communities and our nations, we all have many things to be thankful for. The body of Mashiyach participates together in love and compassion with others in the Malchut Elohim (Kingdom of God), we witness YHWH’s Righteousness and Mercy along with all those who belong to Him.
The Dance, along with all forms praise focuses our spirits upon YHWH, a great way to avoid all the distractions of the material world is to invest time in praise and worship. As we focus on YHWH, our love for Him and each other grows and we become transformed into the Image of Elohim. Dance as a form of praise is revelatory experience that unites us all. No two people will describe their thoughts and feelings about the dance exactly the same way, each of us enters into praise and worship from our hearts as we are each uniquely created and have unique expressions of praise and worship. Each individual expresses themselves uniquely in the Dance. Yet the Dance and the motions are the same for all of us, like a phrase of unique physical action, each individual chooses their own words to express themselves. There is an energy and emotion and spiritual connection that is inherent and distinguishable within each individual which makes for a wonderful expression of praise and thanksgiving unto our Father YHWH.
The obstacles of the dance are also many and varied, self awareness (usually because of people gawking), lack of confidence, or lack of will to assert ourselves in the Dance are among the many hurdles of they who are not accustomed to dance. Even the word “dance” itself is an obstacle, dance denotes the lusts of the flesh for many people, or sensual pleasures and carnal experiences and memories of dancing. But the Dance unto YHWH is not unto others, or for the benefit of others, it is much like prayer to the Father so much so that when we Dance unto Him we leave the mundane thoughts behind. Certainly the weak flesh can easily take that which is Set Apart to YHWH and turn it into a fashion show, or a competition, and there all manner of unclean rivalry and matters of pride that can enter into what is meant to bring beauty and unity. Some folks need to be the center of attention, they crave recognition and can never have enough, there are all manner of spiritual attacks that come against the body whenever joy and victory and fellowship in YHWH are experienced. Therefore the Dance can also be a time of overcoming the struggles that are within and simply release all the external thoughts about oneself and others and focus towards Heaven.
Dance choreography can be turned into a meditation by connecting each movement to a meditation. For example a song called Hallelu repeats some basic movements with hands lifted in praise directed to the Father, it goes into 3 mayim steps as the dancer waves the right hand back and forth, which can be seen as the firstfruits wave offering. A coupe’ then a three point turn back brings the dancer into the original position. This Dance reminds me of Y’shua being the wave sheaf offering, and how he was three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Y’shua rose at the end of the weekly Shabbat during Chag haMatzah the next day was Yom haBikkurim. It just so happens that the choreography for this dance has components that remind us of the first fruits and praise unto YHWH. Each dance has the potential of being a Scriptural meditation and it is up to dance instructors to have a consciousness of these things, imparting them to the beginners.
A dance leader acts as a spiritual Levite, he or she is bringing the body of Mashiyach into worship therefore depending upon how mature the leader is, will depend upon the potential of the dance. Those who are looking for a “good time” and an opportunity to show off their bodies also have an obvious agenda in the flesh, and it’s not easy for congregations to all rise above this unless there is effective and truthful ministry within the body, rather than a social club mentality.
Zechariah 14:16, 18, 19 speaks of the requirement for all nations to keep the feast of tabernacles, this is referring to the Day when all the nations will come up to Jerusalem to celebrate in haMashiyach. This is a day when Mashiyach will rule and reign from Tsiyon, the Holy Mountain of YHWH. The Government of Mashiyach will encompass the universe and those to refuse to go up will dry up and die. The feast is a Chag, a time for joyous celebration, you wouldn’t want to miss it. So now is a good time to rehearse the dance and express Joy before the King of Kings because when he returns the Chagim (Feasts) will all be restored according to what the Prophets of YHWH have written.
We need to enter into Mashiyach each day, by doing so we are also preparing for the biggest celebration of the Universe as we learn the Song of Moshe and the Song of the Lamb. According to D’varim/Deut. 16:13-14 YHWH commands Joy for the Feast of Tabernacles, this is expressly mentioned for the Feast of Tabernacles but applies to all other Feasts of YHWH as well. A person enters into the Feast of Tabernacles by realizing this Feast is extremely symbolic of Mashiyach ben David’s return. Mashiyach came and tabernacled with us and he will return again to bring all nations to tabernacle with him.
Offerings of praise and worship given during the Feasts represent the Father’s Universal order and peace unto all the nations of the earth, together within the One Righteous Government of YHWH and His Mashiyach. This feast looks toward the return of Mashiyach when there will be equality, justice and peace for all humanity. The tyranny of greed and fallen man will be no longer, false governments, false prophets, false leaders and the false system of Babylon will be defeated and no longer be remembered. Mashiyach will rule and reign in righteousness, the poor will receive respect and fairness. If this isn’t cause for great celebration and dance then there is no cause.
Y’shua was very likely circumcised on the Shemini Atzeret (the assembly of the eighth day), which represents the Olam haBa (World to Come), therefore the dance is for our spirits to be strengthened, but it points toward our future. Imagine the days when King David and Eliyahu, Yirmeyahu, Z’kharyah, Hoshea and all the true Prophets of YHWH join with the Shilchim (Apostles) and Mishpocha (Family) with the Heavenly Messengers as a Kedoshim (Set Apart People) unto YHWH. If this isn’t great cause for dance what is?
If our spirits dance, then our body wants to dance, this is the focus when it comes to Dance, when our neshama is full and overflowing like King David we unashamedly and outwardly express our delight in YHWH and His Mashiyach. So if in doubt, get off the chair or couch and dance. If you feel you are not “good enough” to try it, consider what it would be like if you had a knock on your door one erev Shabbat and a “stranger” asked to be invited in. Suppose that you knew you were having a “visitation” from and angle or Mashiyach. Are you “good enough”? Is your home “good enough”? Your food, your table, your wine, your furniture? NO, the fact is that nothing we have is “good enough”, but it’s the best we have and therefore acceptable to Mashiyach.
We all know that Mashiyach favored the poorest of the poor, because he valued the souls of everyone higher than all who came before him. We must not then be self-aware, YHWH is aware of all our circumstances. What we must do though is examine ourselves and understand ourselves and ask YHWH to cleanse us from anything that is not pleasing to Him. The Dance is an opportunity to do this, to outwardly express our inward delight in the Father.
We should all encourage each other in the dance, the visitors, the elderly and those who are shy or self aware. It is up to each of us in YHWH’s congregation serve those who need a boost of confidence and we do this by extending hospitality and love. Just like Avraham who treated three sojourners as though they were more worthy than himself. This is evidence of being in Mashiyach and having the Spirit of Mashiyach within us.
The dance is not only about the movements, or the choreography and songs, but the atmosphere of Mashiyach among his people, where Grace, Mercy and Love is nurtured and kindness is demonstrated. It’s a time to exercise all the spiritual gifts that operate within the congregation and make restrict and put away our pride, sensuality, selfishness or anything of the flesh that would cause division. The dance that is acceptable to YHWH is the one that is offered “in” Him and therefore there is neither place for the flesh to flaunt itself or place to diminish the simcha (joy) of others who are together.
May your dances to the Father be a sweet savor to YHWH and His Mashiyach, now and forever.
Amen ve Amen!
Shalom U’Vrachot,

Recognizing Poverty
The cycle of life and death reminds us that we bring no material wealth into this life and we take none with us when we leave. Wealth is used by YHWH to test and prove people, but poverty is the curse of never having enough. Poverty is not the state of being poor or needy, it is the state of wanting, it’s the torment of never having enough. Two Hebrew words for poverty are translated as “want” or “poverty”, not to be mistaken with “need”. If one has plenty but is always wanting more, that is poverty. Wanting is the opposite of being content, those who cannot stop wanting are entrapped by desire.
For many the big problem with wealth is that it brings accountability, wealth brings prestige, power, satisfaction, sense of accomplishment, control, independence, freedom, admiration and much more, but the big problem with wealth is that those who have it are accountable to YHWH for what they do with it. The years fly by and sooner or later each one of us has to determine how we’ll slice up the pie, and allocate what we have to others. A friend once shared an experience of two neighbours, a wonderful self made multi-millionaire couple, hard working, model citizens who never planned to die, just after the husband turned 65 and was planning to enjoy his money he had a stroke and died, the wife devastated by her loss died less than a year later, they had no children. In the last few months of her life an animal lover convinced her to donate her fortune to animal rights, she did and everything they worked for, literally went to the cats and dogs. These people never planned it that way, they got into a tight spot, called death. Most souls want the loved ones to benefit from all their hard work, and pass on the torch so that they will have better lives.
The big problem with all wealth is when there is no pulse, wealth cannot another minute buy. One fellow with paper worth of nearly a hundred million suggested that I was his “living hell”, when I reminded him there is a difference between being entrusted with wealth and striving to make a fortune. The biggest problem with wealth is that whether we have it or not, we are each accountable to YHWH for every bit of it, that’s why when HaMashiyach and His talmidim were discussing the fortunes of the wealthy Mashiyach explained;
“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of Elohim.” Matthew 19:24
As it turns out there is only ONE WAY that you can put YOUR rope through the eye of a needle, but read the response of the Talmidim!
“When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?” Matthew 19:25
Who then can be saved? That’s the million dollar question for those who have wealth isn’t it? Here’s the million dollar answer.
Our wealth was never “OURS” to begin with,
It has always belonged to YHWH.
We have either used our talents, gifts and abilities to attain the wealth in a righteous way, or we’ve stolen it by taking more than our fair share of the pie. If YHWH has given us or our ancestors talents to create wealth, it’s obvious He did so to partnership with us. YHWH gives so that we will give back to Him. The Torah not only teaches about giving tithes and offerings, it also teaches about the mentorship, equalization and distribution of wealth. The religious institutions don’t teach much on the accountability of wealth as the focus is more to do with operations, and “dirty money” is welcomed in Rabbinical Judaism, Christianity and Islamic institutions because, money provides power to the institution.
Abraham is the father of Faith, in his day he was the wealthiest man on earth, the world knows of Abrahams Faith and his cattle, servants, sheep etc, but those in the Kingdom of Elohim also know of a specific calling and number that tells the “rest of the story”. The number is three hundred and eighteen, that’s the number of trained (educated) men that Abraham personally “discipled,” and what did Abraham train them in? The voice of YHWH, the charge of YHWH, the commandments of YHWH, the statutes of YHWH, and the laws of YHWH. The prime numbers between 7 and 49 add up to 318. The name Eliezer equals 318, Eliezer means: El is my help. Until YHWH revealed Torah through Moshe and then through haMashiyach, Abraham was the measure of a Man of YHWH. By YHWH’s authority, the wealth of the wealthy is the property of the poor, YHWH makes people wealthy and He makes them poor, YHWH tests our souls to show us what is inside. Poverty sometimes visits the wealthiest of the wealthy, it is not only reserved for the poor or the poor. The wealthy man who wants, has much bigger “issues” than the poor who wants, the poor imagines wealth, the wealthy have it but remain impoverished by their want.
There are many who unwittingly invite poverty into their lives, by making friends with the “impoverished”, poverty can wear itself off on others, poverty is a “spirit”. The impoverished are always wanting, they don’t know why they never have enough. Lottery tickets are a sign of poverty. A brother asked me whether I thought it was a good idea to buy a ticket for the hospital lottery, he poked a glossy brochure in my face, and while I read it, he said maybe he should get a couple tickets because he would have a better chance. I said yes, that’s a great idea and pulled out my calculator. Yes I said, if you buy $100,000 of tickets, then you will have a one in a hundred chance of winning. I said, why don’t you put 100 pieces of paper in a bowl and calculate how many times in a thousand that you will pick the right one. That was the end of the discussion, he got the point. Those who are impoverished by lottery tickets, whether they are wealthy or poor. Lottery tickets are a tax on the ignorant, and proof that a person is not satisfied with what YHWH has given them in this life. A friend once volunteered with the Salvation Army, and discovered that the organization had $10,000,000,000 (Billion) US in cash in their bank accounts, but he, well he was out in the cold ringing the bell and begging people for more money, 10 Billion was not enough? How could the second richest organization on earth, surpassed only by the Catholic Church, still beg for money, when they have so much they are not spending?
While traveling through many of the poorest parts of the world one notices that even some of the smallest and poorest villages have massive churches, dwarfing all other buildings in the village, and the priests (pastors) live in luxury and drive luxury cars. One time while in California a business associate was eager to attend the Crystal Cathedral for a meeting, from the parking lot I couldn’t help but ask myself, how did mankind ever become so impoverished? Church people spend over 98% of their wealth on themselves. Torah requires a man who serves as a “Levite”, have no inheritance, YHWH supplies his needs. For a man to be a “Levite” he must serve YHWH. All of the gifts, talents, wisdom, intellectual ability of the “Levite” are for service unto YHWH, not for himself. The application of YHWH’s wisdom as ministered by the Levite are to ensure there is no poverty among the people. In Israel Rabbis rake in $60,000 US a year from the Israeli government (plus perks), but the average wage in Israel (after the top one percent of the very rich is taken off) is under $10,000 US, about one fifth of what the average Jew makes in the USA. The cost of living in Israel is much higher than the USA, so when the dust settles, about 30% of Jews living in Israel live below the poverty line, while the Rabbis get fat.
Canada and the US rank as two of the lowest contributor countries to the poorer nations, Canadians and Americans pledge millions but give very little, but the “administrators” of the charities are very well padded indeed, very rarely do North American Governments or Corporations give without strings attached.
Jews are the most financially successful ethnic group in the US, with a median household income of twice the general American population. Most people are well aware that Jews control a disproportionate amount of wealth per capita on earth, estimates range from one quarter to one third of all the wealth on earth, yet one in five Israeli Jewish children will go to bed hungry tonight. I’ve seen the devastation of poor and needy young and elderly in Israel, let me tell you, your ideas about all Jews being rich is a joke. According to Haaretz newspaper in Israel, one in five adult Israelis live below the poverty line. Arab oil brings in billions of dollars each day into the Arab world, yet Arab countries have some of the most devastating poverty and greed on earth. Let’s be fair, greed is an equal opportunity employer whose transgressions visit all religions and cultures.
If only a small percentage of people on earth began to observe the Torah, poverty as we know it could easily be eliminated, the reason poverty continues year after year, is because people only like to talk about Torah and the Scriptures.
“Delight yourself also in YHWH; and He shall give you the Mishala (petitions) of your heart.”
Psalm 37:4
Mishala comes from the root word Sha’al which is to ask, YHWH will be the One who prospers us and removes poverty far from us, He does much more than supply our needs, He also gives us the power to enjoy the things He provides us.
“Grant not, O YHWH, the Ma’avay (desires) of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves.”
Psalm 140:8
Ma’avay comes from the word ‘avah which is desire or lust, most think that it is wise to ask for what you desire, but this is a trap of the carnal flesh. We are to ask YHWH for what pleases Him and do His will for the good for ourselves and others.
Delight in YHWH and He shall give you the petitions of your heart,
but the desire of the wicked is to exalt themselves.
“Don’t speak to yourself in your heart, that YHWH Elohim has cast them out from before you, saying, for my righteousness YHWH has brought me in to possess this land:”
Deuteronomy 9:4
When we have YHWH as our Father we receive an awesome inheritance from Him that ensures we will never want for anything. Our Father YHWH instructs His Children to walk in Faith and Observe His Torah so that “everything will go well with you all the days of your lives” and we will always remember it is YHWH who brings Blessings into our lives. YHWH’s children are to be free of poverty, it’s not optional, poverty is the opposite of Faith and Contentment.
Some people work hard to be rich.
Some people work hard to be poor.
YHWH does not raise up people to have wealth, position and authority only as a reward, but as a test, and to equip us for His Work. YHWH made everything, He owns everything, His Servants are Stewards of that which belongs to Him. In reality He lends to us so we can give to others, Sanctify His Name, and be satisfied to see the fruits of His Kingdom on this earth.
“Buy the Truth and Sell it not also Wisdom, and Instruction, and Understanding“
Proverbs 23:23
“Six days shall you labour, and do all your work: But the Seventh Day is the Sabbath of YHWH Elohim: In it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: For in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: therefore YHWH blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:9-11
There is so much wisdom in Torah that helps us to permanently avoid poverty, the first and obvious thing is “Six days shall you labour“. We are free to choose by Torah standards what we are going to do, but He says we “shall labour“. The second and obvious thing is, “you shall not do any work” on Shabbat. Some think if they work on Shabbat, they will gain even more riches, these souls are demonstrating their poverty. “Faith” demands action, Shabbat requires that we stop working, by Faith. Poverty is to be in a state of “want”, one way to prove we are not in “want” is to celebrate what we have in YHWH. When we celebrate Shabbat we celebrate Mashiyach in our lives, if we have Him we have EVERYTHING! It is not possible to want if one already has everything there is. The Shabbat is not a religious duty, but a state of being!
Wealth is not about acquiring or supplying needs, it’s a state of being, those with riches can easily deceive themselves into believing they have entered into blessings, some are preoccupied to demonstrate their wealth before others, which is evidence of their poverty.
YHWH gives the power to have Wealth, outside of Him there is no Wealth, only poverty or riches.
Avraham, Yitzak and Ya’akov have everything, they have the power to trust YHWH and enjoy all what they have. The wealthy man never fears loss, he is content, he has everything.
Freedom from Poverty
Those who find themselves in poverty and want to flee from it, must find their Way to YHWH, but if the blind follow the blind they will both fall into the ditch.
Some years ago I was working as a Financial Advisor and on the board of a Public Company, I was studying the Word of YHWH and learning to apply Torah to my heart, my soul was expanding in the Truth and I wanted to share my experience with others. One day after cashing in some stock options, I made my way home during the rush hour, hundreds of people were headed toward the underground trains, I was thinking of what I was going to do with YHWH’s portion of the stock options. As I was walking, my eyes made contact with a man begging for money, there were hundreds of people between the man and myself, but his eyes were fixed on me, he would not take them off me, maybe he “smelled” money? The fellow kept on staring at me, he walked through the middle of the crowd, eyes fixed on me. I could see that I was not going to be able to give him the shake. “Meester… please… Meester… I only need twenty five cents, juz twenty five cents”… I stopped and looked at him and said, “just twenty five cents? well if that’s all you need sure!” The fellow looked at me, “well Meester… I need food how about a dolla? Can you give me a dolla?” Then I said, “just one dollar? well if that’s all you need sure!”… he paused then he said, “well Meester…” pause… “could you give me five dollas, pleez, jus fi dollas”. By this time I couldn’t help myself, the man was a hundred percent sincere and I took a liking to him, I said. “Listen, I must confess, do you Believe in G-d?” The man said “yes”. I said, “Well, so do I, and I Believe He just told me to bless you”, would you be willing to accept a Blessing from G-d?” The man’s face changed, he lit right up with an enthusiastic, “YES!” I told the fellow something like, “I’ll take you to my place for dinner, then we’ll talk about how much money I should give you, would you like that?” The man didn’t know what to say, but he started to walk in the direction I was going and we were off.
The rest of the story took nearly eight years to unfold, in the beginning the fellow stole, cheated, lied etc but he also did his best to learn about haMashiyach and Torah, and YHWH kept on strengthening him and revealing Himself and His Word to him. He and I lost contact for several years, then one day I was invited to teach about Pesach and do a Seder, and as the people were entering the home I recognized the fellow, he had been transformed, he was full of peace, prosperity, contentment and full of Joy and Gladness. YHWH brought this fellow back into my life, to show His Great Power and Blessings upon those who obey His Commandments. The transformation testified of the Power of Mashiyach, I could give many more examples, including my own life, but if you know Mashiyach, you probably have many testimonies similar to mine. There is only One Truth, and Truth itself is the only thing that brings freedom from poverty.
Torah is Freedom
“But you shall remember YHWH Elohim: for it is He that gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His Covenant which he swore unto your fathers, as it is this day. And it shall be, if you do at all forget YHWH Elohim, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. As the nations which YHWH destroys before your face, so shall you perish; because you would not be obedient unto the voice of YHWH Elohim.”
Deuteronomy 8:18-20
Remember YHWH Elohim, it is He that gives you power to get wealth, it’s that straightforward!
That He may establish His Covenant which he swore unto your fathers, our fathers are Avraham, Yitzak and Ya’akov, the Fathers of all the Household of Faith. By returning to the teachings of our Fathers we are making Covenant with YHWH and showing our intentions to be His legitimate children. All wealth is inherited through the blessings of our Fathers, to inherit we must be legitimate children. By Faith, we repent of our sin keep His Commandments. If we choose to rebel then our Father simply cuts us out of His blessings.
And it shall be, if you do at all forget YHWH Elohim, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. No man can serve two masters.
As the nations which YHWH destroys before your face, so shall you perish; Nations were destroyed, many perished and much of humanity is still choosing to rebel and be stubborn against YHWH and His Mashiyach, the price of rebellion is massive.
because you would not be obedient unto the voice of YHWH Elohim. We must choose daily to hear the voice of YHWH Elohim, this is the Way to freedom.
Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and the sojourner that is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear YHWH Elohim, and observe to do all the words of this Torah:” Deuteronomy 31:12 “
None are excluded, men, women, children, and the sojourner, even the visitors who are not part of the family are invited so they may:
HEAR: Each day the Word of YHWH must be read aloud and ingested into our souls. We hear the word so that we can live it, as we live it we apply the word and only make decisions to act based upon the Word of YHWH. Hearing the Word does not mean that one only hears the sound of the Word being read. It means we hear it in our Hearts and we do it. A good steward hears His Master and doesn’t waste time asking redundant questions or trying to make something easier for himself, he knows that His Master is well acquainted with all Truth and has all Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding. The good steward hears the Word, immediately takes it to heart and acts upon what He has heard.
LEARN: Each day when we apply the word we learn. Learning does not only mean that we understand, but that we DO the Truth. The Mashiyach said, “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of Elohim, or whether I speak of myself.” John 7:17 By doing we learn, the pagans teach that one learns through the mind, but these are forever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. As we DO we are able to teach others, the very act of DOING causes motion and change in us and around us. There is a ripple effect around us when we DO, like a rock thrown into the calm water, but the ripples surround us by 360 degrees and go outward from us in seven dimensions, the synergy of motion helps us move in new directions as we DO.
FEAR YHWH ELOHIM: Fear means Fear, do not accept counterfeit ideas about the Word of YHWH. If a person is not willing to have a relationship with YHWH on HIS TERMS because they have no intention to FEAR Him that’s their choice. Many people follow theological lies that FEAR doesn’t mean fear, instead they teach that it means respect, awe and love. These say that YHWH really does not want us to FEAR HIM, they teach only that, “God is Love”. One cannot argue with this because they have fashioned a god by their “theology”. It’s a bald-faced lie to change or distort the Word of YHWH, and no lie is of the Truth, the repercussions of disseminating lies is that more people will suffer.
YHWH demands that His Children FEAR HIM so we must learn carefully what the FEAR of YHWH ELOHIM is, as we study to learn the Fear of YHWH we discover that, “The fear of YHWH is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures for ever.” Psalm 111:10
Those lacking the FEAR of YHWH will have the fear of man. Ask yourself, why would someone not FEAR the Creator YHWH Elohim? He as the Author of Life, full of Mercy, Justice, Truth, Forgiveness, Longsuffering and Love. Let’s ask Him to put the Righteous FEAR of YHWH in us. The Hebrew word for Fear is Yare which means fear, afraid, terrible, terrible thing, dread, dreadful, to fear, revere, be afraid. MORE of the FEAR of YHWH means MORE POWER and GRACE in HIM. Those who make light of the FEAR OF YHWH, are following man or a god of their own making.
OBSERVE TO DO ALL THE WORDS OF THIS TORAH: YHWH asks that we do these FOUR THINGS. It is very straightforward, but if we choose to go our own way and NOT listen to His Word then He “will even send a curse upon you, and curse your blessings: …because you do not lay it to heart.” and “this people who know not the Torah are cursed” and “Cursed be the man that obeys not the words of this covenant” and “He that turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer shall be abomination.” There are hundreds of Scriptures that speak of the need for us to Observe the Torah. False religions have made up gods by their own imaginations. YHWH said through the Prophet Jeremiah, “How do you say, We are wise, and the Torah of YHWH is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes writes falsehoods. The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the Word of YHWH; and what wisdom is in them?” False religions have written their own Bibles, they’ve fashioned a god from their own intellects and “Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to YHWH: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.” In other words even if they join together and can get multitudes of people to agree with their false theology, they will not be protected by it.
Each of us already has a good idea whether or not we want walk with YHWH and be His children, if we say YES and AMEN, then we can have confidence in Him to deliver us from any snares that we might need to overcome. Poverty is indicative of one being caught by the hand of the wicked. If you want to help yourself or others who struggle with poverty, you need a plan of escape, the enemy doesn’t want us to be free. The plan of escape is to invite Yeshua HaMashiyach into our lives and let Him radically change us, and give us Grace to walk in Torah, He is the Deliverer.
“Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.”
Psalm 82:4
We all have unique circumstances and challenges that we face, at times we may feel financial limitations are being imposed on us, the common lie of the enemy is to believe that we will be satisfied with more money, but the way to freedom is purification. All the lies of the enemy must be broken by the authority of the Word of YHWH. “The words of YHWH are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” His word will purify us and try us. “The fear of YHWH is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of YHWH are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.”
Elohim is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.
There is a river, the streams thereof shall make glad the City of Elohim,
the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
Elohim is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: Elohim shall help her, early in the morning.
The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
YHWH of Hosts is with us; the Elohim of Jacob is our refuge.
Come, behold the works of YHWH, what desolations he has made in the earth.
He makes wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaks the bow,
and cuts the spear in sunder; he burns the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am Elohim: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
YHWH of Hosts is with us; the Elohim of Jacob is our refuge.
Psalm 46
YHWH be with you!
Shalom U’Vrachot,

Nisan 21st
Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in YHWH your Elohim: for He has given you the Moreh (former rain) moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the Gesher (winter rain) , the Moreh (former rain) , and the Malkosh (latter rain) in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. Joel 2:23-24
Come, and let us return unto YHWH: for He has torn, and He will heal us; He has smitten, and He will bind us up. 2 After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know YHWH: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain , as the latter Malkosh (root word Laqash, meaning to gather) and former rain Yarah (root word meaning to teach). Hosea 6:1
That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the Yoreh first rain and the Malkosh latter rain, that you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil. Deuteronomy 11:14
Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of Elohim, trembling because of this matter, and for the Geshem (great rain). Ezra 10: 9
Thou, O Elohim, didst send a Geshem (plentiful rain), whereby You did confirm Your inheritance, when it was weary. Psalm 68: 9
The former rain Yoreh in Israel are the first rains beginning on the last day of Feast of Tabernacles, each year in Jerusalem I have witnessed the former rain begin on the last day of the Moed. This rain lightly showers some parts of the city but not all areas. As winter approaches the intensity of the rain increases until the Gesher winter rains arrives. The winter rains often cause massive torrents of water to boil over banks and rapidly leaves great damage to roadways or whatever stands in its way. The Malkosh latter rain falls upon melilot (ripe ears), as well as on the kash (stalks).
“When you come into the standing corn of your neighbour, then you may pluck the melila (ears) with your hand; Devarim 23:25
We have now celebrated the Pesach, experienced a most blessed Seder, waved the omer, and have eaten Matzah since Pesach this is the eighth day of the Chag, and the last day of Chag HaMatzah. This Moed has brought remarkable revelations through each soul, we have been strengthened in HaMashiyach by His Spirit, and in YHWH’s Word together as a Body. On this last day of Feast of Unleavened Bread we must now remember well the Song of Moshe and the Song of the Lamb for it is on this day of the latter rain that we truly begin a new year with a new experience and a renewed calling in haMashiyach.
Ask of YHWH rain in the time of the latter rain; so YHWH shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd. Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for YHWH of hosts has visited His flock the house of Judah, and has made them as his goodly horse in the battle. Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together. And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because YHWH is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded. And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am YHWH their Elohim, and will hear them. And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in YHWH. I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased. Zechariah 10:1-8
Ya’akov HaTsaddiq exhorted us; James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Master. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
We remember Y’shua as He made His way up to Jerusalem to celebrate His last Feast together with us while He was here in body with us:
And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.. the multitudes were drawn to Him, he was altogether merciful and just. Matthew 20: 29
We are part of the multitude who recognize Him for Who He was, is, and Who He will be when He returns. On the 10th of Nisan Y’shua entered into Jerusalem and commanded us.
Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes unto you, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Y’shua commanded them, And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set Him thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and spread them in the way. Matthew 21:5-8
Many shouted “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of YHWH”
HaMashiyach made His way into the Temple, He turned over tables declaring the temple was intended as a House of Prayer, not a den of thieves to be used as an opportunity to steal from the poor.
And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! Y’shua answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive. And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as He was teaching, and said, By what authority do You these things? and who gave you this authority? Matthew 21:19-23
The fig tree represented the house of judges the Sanhedrin or the “rabbinical seat of authority”. Y’shua cursed the tree because it had no fruit and it will never produce fruit within the parameters of which it operates. The fig tree represents the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Adam and Eve made themselves a covering of fig leaves when they found themselves to be in disunity with YHWH. The fig tree also represents the institutions of man where men give other men “authority” not by YHWH but by religion even Pastoral Ordinations, Doctorates, Masters Degrees, Semikha etc. The leaders of Israel were threatened by Y’shua because He had the One True and Righteous Authority that was not under their control, think about it, you would probably be a bit nervous yourself if you were a leader when haMashiyach came to town.
For several days Y’shua was scrutinized by the P’rushim, Tz’dukim and all those who questioned his ha’Mishchah (anointing) as haMashiyach.
While the P’rushim were gathered together, Y’shua asked them, Saying, What are your thoughts about Mashiyach? whose son is he? They said unto him, The Son of David. Y’shua said unto them, how then does David in spirit call him Adon, saying, YHWH said unto my Adon, sit thou on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool? If David then call him Adon, how is he David’s son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither dared any man from that day forth ask him another sh’eilah (question). Matthew 22: 41-46
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: Matthew 27:24
The verdict was that Y’shua was without blemish, none could find fault in him, haMashiyach was the perfect Lamb of Elohim who was to take away the sins of the world.
Again the word of YHWH came unto me, saying, Thus says YHWH, the Elohim of Israel; Like these good figs , so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good. For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am YHWH: and they shall be my people, and I will be their Elohim: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus says YHWH, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt: And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them. Jeremiah 24:4-9
Figs here represent a certain kind of people, notice that the evil figs are removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them. The fact of the matter is the party is not over, YHWH is not finished fulfilling His Word against the “evil figs”.
And the trees said to the fig tree, Come and reign over us. But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? Then said the trees unto the vine, Come and reign over us. And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheers Elohim and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come and reign over us. And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth you anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon. Now therefore, if you have done truly and sincerely, in that you have made Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands; For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian: And you are risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother; If you then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you: But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech. And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother. Judges 9:10-21
Seventy is an extremely important number, representing leadership, counsel, and authority in the Kingdom of Elohim.
Shemot (Exodus) 1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls:
Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the Elohim of Israel: and there was under His feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in His clearness. Shemot 24:9-11
Y’shua rejected the false leadership of His day, infuriating the “establishment”, He is a revolutionist advocating for major changes that require a return to YHWH’s authority according to Torah. Today (as I write this) is Nisan the 21st according to the authority of YHWH and His Torah calendar. On this last and seventh day of Hag ha-Matza Shemot 12:17-20 we must remember and pay very close attention not only to the present and prophetic calendar, but also to the state of the Body of Mashiyach.
On this 21st Day of Nisan
The Israelites camped at Migdol (the tower), towards PiHachiroth (the mouth of the gorge),
opposite from Baal Tz’fon (lord of the north)
And YHWH went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people. And YHWH spoke unto Moshe, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before PiHachiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal Tz’fon: before it shall you encamp by the sea. Shemot 13:21-14:2
Moshe tells the Israelites, remain steady see the Y’shua of YHWH: And Moshe said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of YHWH, which he will show to you to day: for the Egyptians whom you have seen to day, you shall see them again no more for ever. YHWH shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. Shemot 14:13-14
The Israelites are baptized in the Red sea on this day. Shemot (Exodus) 14:26-29
YHWH removed the wheels from the Egyptian chariots. Shemot 14:24-25
YHWH destroys Pharaoh’s army, chariots, and horses with water. Shemot 14:21-28
Moshe and Miriam sing the song of Moses to YHWH Elohim. Shemot 15
Yehoshua (Joshua) and the Israelites marched around Jericho and the walls come down and Jericho is destroyed. Yehoshua 5-6
David sings a song that the “Ruach of YHWH” spoke through him 2 Samuel 22
The Song of Moshe
Modern translations state “sang” the song of Moses, the Hebrew is future tense, literally they “will sing” the song of Moses.
Shemot 15:1-21 Then will sing Moshe and the children of Israel this song unto YHWH, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto YHWH, for He has triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. YHWH is my strength and song, and He is become my Y’shua (salvation): He is my Elohim, and I will prepare Him a habitation; my father’s Elohim, and I will exalt him. YHWH is a Man of war: YHWH is His name. Pharaoh’s chariots and his host has He cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. Your right hand, O YHWH, is become glorious in power: your right hand, O YHWH, has dashed in pieces the enemy. And in the greatness of Your Excellency You have overthrown them that rose up against You: You sent forth Your wrath, which consumed them as stubble. And with the blast of Your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. You did blow with Your wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. Who is like unto You, O YHWH, among the gods? who is like You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? You stretch out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them. You in Your mercy have led forth the people which You have redeemed: You have guided them in Your strength unto Your holy habitation. The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm they shall be as still as a stone; till your people pass over, O YHWH, till the people pass over, which You have purchased. You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O YHWH, which You have made for thee to dwell, in the Sanctuary, O YHWH, which your hands have established. YHWH shall reign for ever and ever. For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and YHWH brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
And they sing the Song of Moshe the servant Elohim, and the Song of the Lamb,
saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, YHWH Elohim El Elyon; just and true are Your ways,
Thou King of Saints. Revelations 15:3
Today those who walk in Moshe and HaMashiyach are singing the song of Moshe and the song of the Lamb, albeit we need help with the words and melody, but YHWH winks at our ignorance, we have all experienced the weight of heavy handed taskmasters who hate the Way of YHWH. The Song of Moshe is sung by our daily lives in HaMashiyach and by the authority of YHWH and His Torah. The Song is sung when HaMashiyach is lifted up above all other authority and identity and followed.
Today we must declare what Y’shua HaMashiyach commanded His Talmidim.
Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes!
Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David. 2 Samuel 5:7
Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David. 1 Kings 8:1
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, you shall not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David. 1 Chronicles 11:5
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against YHWH, and against His Mashiyach saying Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: YHWH shall have them in derision. Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure. Yet have I set my King upon My Holy Hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: YHWH has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten You. Ask of Me, and I shall give You the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve YHWH with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. Psalm 2:1-12
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH, to the house of the Elohim of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of YHWH from Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:3
For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast. In those days, and in that time, says YHWH, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek YHWH their Elohim. They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces forward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to YHWH in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place. All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against YHWH, the habitation of justice, even YHWH, the hope of their fathers. Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks. For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain. And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, says YHWH.
Jeremiah 50:3-10
Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in YHWH your Elohim: for He has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. Joel 2:23
Tsiyon (Zion) is the One and the Only Kingdom of Elohim, the daughter of Tsiyon are those who YHWH has called and is calling into His Kingdom. It is not difficult to see how hasatan has corrupted many souls against Zion, if you’re not sure about this ask around and see how many souls are pro-zionists. Zionism has become a hate word for many souls, many self hating Jews also despise the word Zionism, some despise Tsiyon so much they have a full time agenda to teach evil to be good and good to be evil. As we sing the Song of Moshe the distinctions set forth in this song become our distinctions, it becomes “our song”. The right hand of YHWH is HaMashiyach, the Torah is the Work of HaMashiyach, the Torah is our heritage in Him.
I trust that have noticed that sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. This place called Palestina is also mentioned in Isaiah 14:31-32 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; you, whole Palestina, are dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That YHWH has founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
Having intellectual knowledge about Tsiyon or only knowing about the Song of Moshe does not provide anyone passage into Tsiyon. Tsiyon is a way of being which distinguishes YHWH’s people from the wicked. Great sorrow shall overtake those who do not have Tsiyon in their hearts. Tsiyon is about knowing HaMashiyach who is YHWH, and His servant Moshe and the Torah of YHWH. It is about the people of YHWH taking ground from the enemy by the authority of the Ruach HaKodesh. Y’shua established His Father YHWH’s authority to be implanted within the Body of Mashiyach, you and I. Where two or three are gathered in His Name the authority of the Righteous Seat of Moshe is established according to the Spirit of HaMashiyach.
Hasatan has managed to deceive many people by naming the Land of Israel after the enemies of YHWH. The name of Palestine is the illegitimate horror story fraught with demons and destruction. The deceiver has made the Holy Word and meaning of Zion to become curse on the lips of many people. YHWH has allowed the enemies of Israel to come against the land, kill the Jews and plunder the land because Israel has been wondering in spiritual Egypt for a very long time.
Babylon has wreaked hell upon Israel, the Catholics own and control huge parcels of land in Jerusalem and all throughout the country. False religious institutions and every abominable thing is making war against Tsiyon each day, also with the help of many self hating Jews, Christians and Moslems many are not ignorant of the things of righteousness, but choose open rebellion against YHWH and Tsiyon.
On this 21st day of Nisan each one must inquire of his own soul. Can you sing the Song of Moshe and the Song of the Lamb today? How well can you sing this Song, a New Year has now begun how will you better sing the Song of Moshe in this upcoming year? The old year has passed, we cannot look to or rely on our “fruits” in HaMashiyach of the last year.
Our gathering together on the Moedim is to hold a Feast unto YHWH, our singing and dancing is not about what has happened in the past, it is about what the Melech Ha Melachim is about to do. We gather today because we serve a Living Elohim, His Torah is Life and Freedom and it prepares for the future. From this day on we shall do mighty exploits in the Name of YHWH and in His Mashiyach. Today we will speak to our hearts and tell our hearts to walk upright and sing the song of Moshe and the song of the Lamb. We will be as David knowing Mashiyach Ben David is coming swiftly, and He shall not relent in bringing forth Judgment unto Victory!
After Y’shua arose, He tarried for 40 days with His people and He said. Luke 24:49-53 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until you be endued with power from on high. And He led them out as far as to Bethany, and He lifted up His hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing Elohim. Amen.
Acts 2:38-47 Shim’on said to them, Repent and be immersed, each man of you, in the Name of YHWH Y’shua for the remission of sins, that you might receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh. For the promise is to you, and to your sons and to all that are afar off, even as many as our Elohim shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then many of them gladly received his word were immersed: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand nefeshot (souls).
Let us number our days and look ahead, let us be unified in thought, deed and in purpose, let Judgment run down as Waters, and Righteousness as a Mighty River.
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch Ben Daniel
Is the name “Jesus” holy?
The question of whether “Jesus” is a holy name, can be addressed in several ways, the word “holy“ must also be considered, and we will address this in a moment, first let’s look at the “Biblical” origin of the name of “Jesus“. We read in Matthew 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son; and you shall call his name “Y’shua“; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.” No, this isn’t how it was “translated”, most insert the name “Jesus”. But very few would dispute that the angel provided the name “Y’shua“, certainly not the Greek name Jesus. Most know that Y’shua means “YHWH is Salvation“. The Name of Yeshua itself is extremely prophetic for example:
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise YHWH: This gate of YHWH, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise Thee: for You have heard me, and have become my Yeshua (Salvation). The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is YHWH’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day which YHWH has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I beseech thee, O YHWH: O YHWH, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. Blessed be He that cometh in the Name of YHWH: we have blessed you out of the House of YHWH.
Psalms 118:19-26
The rejected head stone refers to Mashiyach ben Yoseph, the suffering servant. The “builders” are those working to establish the Kingdom, but they’ve gone about it on their own merits and strength, they’ve rejected the most important component of the Kingdom: Mashiyach. We know Y’shua to be Mashiyach ben Yoseph (the suffering servant) and Mashiyach ben David (the conquering king). Y’shua brought the Salvation of YHWH to his people and demonstrated Torah based values of the Kingdom of Elohim.
Notice how this passage begins with “open to me the gates of righteousness“, clearly gates (plural) refers to a progressive walk in Righteousness, openings that we must choose to enter into. The set apart people pass through more than one gate during our lifetimes and as a people. David goes on to say “this gate of YHWH” has become my Yeshua (Salvation). Notice also that “Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of YHWH,” refers to Mashiyach who came in the Name of YHWH. The Name of YHWH is both physically and spiritually with and in Mashiyach as he is begotten spiritually by His Father YHWH. Yeshua is the truncated form of Yehoshua which is the Hebrew name of Moses’ successor, Joshua, it also means, YHWH is Salvation. Y’shua did nothing in his own name, but in the Name of His Father YHWH. We could analyze well over a hundred verses that specifically pertain to the prophetic identity of the office of Mashiyach, in which the name of Y’shua functions. Consider this in the Ketuvim Netzarim (New Covenant Writings).
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Yeshua Mashiyach haNazarati, whom you crucified, whom Elohim raised from the dead, even by him does this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:10-12
Notice that NO other name under heaven given among men does NOT point to the name of Y’shua! The Shlichim (Apostles) knew well that Yeshua came in his Father’s Name, the Name of YHWH, Y’shua is the Salvation of YHWH. Notice that Psalm 118 is being here which states, “Save now, I beseech thee, O YHWH: O YHWH, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.” The head of the corner refers to Mashiyach, but it is YHWH who saves, not Mashiyach. It is YHWH who accomplished all the healings that Yeshua invoked according to His Father’s Will. Yeshua did not heal anyone in his own name, he healed in His Father’s Name, according to His Father’s authority.
There is a legend in the Talmud (Oral Traditions of the Pharisees) about Y’shua healing in the Name of YHWH. The Pharisees made up an elaborate fable about Y’shua sneaking the Name of YHWH out of the Temple. It tells of how Y’shua wrote the ineffable Name of Yahweh on a piece of parchment, cut his skin open, sewed it under his skin, left the Temple, then was able access the power of “the Name” outside the Temple. This if course reeks of Gnosticism, the Pharisees are still using incantations to bring blessings upon themselves, the myth also reeks of religious pride, arrogance, paganism and traditional dogmatism about invoking the Name of YHWH.
There is a passage in Talmud where the Pharisees teach that YHWH confers with them about important matters before He does anything, they certainly give themselves a very elevated chair, and they also believe themselves to be stewards of “The Name”. As you probably know it is Pharisaical tradition to refer to YHWH as “haShem” (the Name), a derivative of their Gnostic religion. But even in the libelous account of Y’shua in the Talmud, there is an underlying truth that Mashiyach healed in the Name and Power of YHWH! Even the Pharisees admit it! But Christians are very slow to figure this out? How come?
But I know you, that you have not the love of Elohim in you. I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
John 5:42, 43
Y’shua’s words declare that his Messiahship is according to His Father’s Name, and of course this means the literal name of YHWH according to His Authority and Self Existent Power. So it is on this basis that we can accurately know and understand that the office of Mashiyach is tied to YHWH. Now that we know this, we can answer the question of whether the name of “Jesus” is “holy”. Consider very carefully this warning that Y’shua gave us:
And he said, “take heed that you be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Mashiyach; and the time draws near: go not therefore after them.”
Luke 21:8
Herein lies an “acid test” to determine whether a person is a false teacher or prophet, “many shall come in my name” in other words they will claim to operate in the office and authority of Mashiyach, NOT according to YHWH’s authority! The name of Jesus is a hybrid name that was coined outside the Set Apart tongue, NOT by YHWH and NOT by the original followers of Y’shua. The fact is that the name of Joshua (Moses’ successor) is the English equivalent to Yeshua, Joshua’s name in Hebrew is Yehoshua, the same name as Yeshua but in the full form.
The name of Jesus exemplifies the seduction of Greek Christianity into Hellenistic Zeus culture. Within Christo-Paganism the name Jesus is self sustaining, many Christians pray to Jesus as “the Father”, and as their God. LORD and Lord are two components of the pagan Trinity that teaches LORD is the Father and Lord is the Son, melded into a Trinity. But the Father has a very “Personal” and Set Apart Name and so does the Son for very important reasons. Often times I inquire of Christians after they pray to “the Lord”, and ask who they are praying to, the vast majority reply, “to Jesus”. But we must remember that:
Jesus is a Deity that comes “in his own name”
The name Jesus is NOT a derivative of YHWH, there is great cause for alarm when this hybrid Greek name is being plied onto Messiah because not only is it not the sanctified given name of Yeshua, but prophetic and sanctified unity within the Word of YHWH is lost! Certainly Greeks who follow the Jewish Messiah are not going to win popularity contests among their own people within a polytheistic culture, therefore, early Christo-Pagans syncretized Greek culture into Greek Christianity, which “smoothed” the way for Christo-Paganism to become the “state” religion.
And let’s be fair, not all Greeks are Hellenized. Hellenism is to Greeks as “Hollywoodism” is to Americans. Not all Americans bow down to the gods of Hollywood, Sports, Materialism, Money and Sensuality which are hallmarks of “Americanism.” But the fact of the matter is most “believers” can’t give up the American carnal Krispy Kreme Kulture any more than the Greeks could give up Hellenism. I was visiting the USA when Mel Gibson’s Passion hit the movie theatres. The Messianic community I was visiting couldn’t resist “the flick,” they even bought group tickets to gaze at images of Jesus, which is very, VERY contrary to Torah! I could NEVER agree to attend, the film depicts “graven images.” Christians worship a deity named Jesus and there was a depiction of Jesus lifted up on their massive screens. Americans are fixated on entertainment and big screened images so who am I to argue, they’ll do what is right in their own eyes and wag their tongues and say it is for “educational purposes.”
As an English speaker, how do you pronounce Jesus? Yes, you are saying “Je-zuz“, not “Je-sus” there’s that “zzzzz” sound in the name. In Spanish the Hay-sous sound is much closer to the Greek. This is why at times I spell Jesus as Jezeus, to remind Christians that this hybrid name comes from Hellenism, whose chief god was Zeus, and people are still giving recognition to Zeus, not simply as a linguistic, etymological link, but by denying that Y’shua came to write Torah upon our hearts. And by denying the Ancient Path. And by denying to live Set Apart lives unto YHWH. And by holding their Christian traditions up above Torah, above the Word of the Living Elohim.
Jesus is thought by many as a close and acceptable transliteration of Yeshua, but Je-Zuz points to Je-Zeus according to the values of both the Greek language and Hellenistic culture. Greeks have NO trouble whatsoever pronouncing the name of Yeshua, exactly as it is said in Hebrew, neither do the Greek people have any trouble writing the name of Yeshua in Greek, in such way that any Greek reader would immediately know how to read and say Yeshua.
In reality, the persona of Jesus in Christo-Pagan religion, has far less to do with the Jewish Mashiyach functionally, than it has to do with Zeus. Certainly some of the ideals Yeshua lived for have been regurgitated in Jesus worship, however the “person” of Jesus is far removed from the person of “Yeshua!” Yeshua upholds Torah as his Father’s Commandments according to the Word of YHWH, but Jesus let his disciples break the Law. Christians teach that Paul brought the Torah to nothing, even that Paul taught that Torah was a curse, that’s what Christian bibles say. So it’s quite obvious that there are two Jesus’, in fact, Rav Shaul (Apostle Paul) warns us to beware of the false Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4).
There are theologians who try to rebuff the etymological link between Jesus and Zeus however the historical evidence is profound. Historians and documentarians have revealed busts of Zeus erected for Zeus worship appearing throughout Europe in both Catholic and Orthodox Christian churches as images of Jesus However elements of pagan syncretism are found right within New Covenant Scriptures: Acts 14:12 “And they called Barnabas, Zeus; and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. Then the priest of Zeus, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.” Certainly a tragic event but clearly showing the propensity of the pagan element to syncretize the teachings of Paul into paganism. The pagan element today within Christianity asserts that Paul did away with Torah (instructions in righteousness), yet Paul himself warns his readers that “another Jesus” was being preached, the false anti-Torah, anti-righteousness, pagan cultural Jesus was being embedded into the minds of many Greek Christians even within Paul’s lifetime, and it is very clearly evident that this movement gained momentum and became the tour de force behind modern Christianity.
Theologians point out that the Septuagint scribes translated Yehoshua into Iesous. Yehoshua of course is Moses’ successor (Joshua) and the full name of Y’shua. The Septuagint was translated by Jewish scribes who were very capable in the Greek language but this certainly doesn’t mean they were enlightened about Mashiyach Ben Yoseph being given the name Y’shua. The Septuagint was translated into Greek about 200 years before Y’shua came to earth therefore the importance of the name of Y’shua was not fully understood back then. For Christian theologians to assert that these scribes were under inspiration of the Holy Spirit is simply a theological projection. When Mashiyach Y’shua came to earth, many religious myths were exposed but yet certain groups like the Pharisees went on campaigns to further hide the Word of YHWH connection to Mashiyach Y’shua. In fact there are 134 changes made to the Masoretic texts by the Pharisees to cover up the reality of Y’shua being the Word of YHWH. This extremely important connection between YHWH and His Mashiyach was evidently not understood by the translators of the Septuagint, yet the Septuagint is a very important work as it preserves these passages that were altered by later false scribes.
When Christians realize that they’ve been taught a falsehood about the anti-Torah Jesus they simply need to recognize the difference between the two, and that there definitely are two Messiahs who operate under the name Y’shua and Jesus. In fact, have we not been amply warned that haSatan transforms himself into an angel of light? That means the Devil transforms himself into Jesus, so, next time you get on your knees to pray, don’t be concerned. Pray to YHWH in the Name of Y’shua and thank Him for His Torah and then go learn how to keep His Commandments. But I have bad news for you, you will be hated by the religious elements, you will be mocked, scorned, reviled, judged, and condemned to hell by those who say they love Jesus.
Is the name of Jesus holy?* No, not according the Word of YHWH it is NOT! There are many material points of law that can easily establish this fact. It is not simply a matter of linguistics that the Greek culture chose to make a name change, it is a matter of politics and religion. The religious motives surrounding anti-Torah teaching are too numerous to enumerate, one of the big factors is that Torah judges autocratic governments, Torah judges and exposes hierarchy like nothing else can, or will. Torah enlightens souls towards freedom, equality, sexuality, protection of personal property and liberty, it would be impossible for the current oligarchic political hierarchical structure of the world to operate within a Torah based value system, therefore the real Mashiyach had to be silenced or reinvented. Hence “Jesus” became an anti-Torah icon, at most he is taught of as being a “respecter” of Torah, who “translated” Torah principles into Hellenism. However, the anti-Torah values that are syncretized into “Jesus” could not have been done so while Yeshua was connected to his Father YHWH and Torah, hence the linguistic severance that made way for the new religious ideal… enter Jesus.
From Rabbinical Judaism’s perspective, the Pharisees used their tradition to judge Yeshua as a breaker of their tradition, and tradition is their highest authority, NOT Torah. The Pharisees used Yeshua to establish their own authority, by judging Yeshua and putting him to the torture stake, they put themselves above Mashiyach. The Greek culture used their own methodology to do the very same thing, they syncretized Yeshua into their own Hellenic culture. There was a time when the “person of Jesus” was the defining authority of the Roman empire, Constantine and his mother Hellena forced their brand of Christianity upon the world as the official religion of Roman Empire, under their direction the massacre of “the innocents” seemed a reasonable thing, much like American civilization today uses it’s military might for conflict resolution, in the “name of Jesus” and perpetrates wholesale evil upon it’s victims.
From a humanistic religious perspective (like Christian America), the name of Jesus is holy because it is on this basis that they give themselves authority to do what is right in their own eyes. But what is YHWH’s doing according to Mashiyach is a completely different matter, we should be much more interested in that which is “Set Apart” unto YHWH rather than what is “holy” unto man.
“Blessed be He that cometh in the Name of YHWH: we have blessed you out of the House of YHWH.”
Followers of Truth must understand that we are required to be in the House of YHWH to be able to judge with righteous Judgment. Neither Christianity nor Rabbinical Judaism is “in the House of YHWH”, as these religions both take their authority from tradition and versions of the Bible according to man’s traditions. Before a person can judge what is right or wrong they must enter into the House of YHWH, and this means a person must observe and do the Commandments and live according to Torah principles. We must adopt the Authority of the Word of YHWH for righteous judgment. For example, the 3rd Commandment states we are NOT to bring any other name equal to the name of YHWH. The 1st Command is that YHWH is Elohim. Therefore on these two Commandments we can be assured that the name of Jesus is not holy, it is simply un-holy or common. However, when people are earnest and sincere and use the name of Zeus to call upon Mashiyach simply because they don’t know his true name or the Name of his Father, then certainly YHWH is merciful and will draw earnest souls to Himself. But as a person matures in the Faith it is foolish for them to make excuses and continue calling on the name of Jesus, just because of religious tradition or because “everyone else is doing it.”
Neither the name Jesus or Y’shua are meant to be used for incantations, it is false religion to verbalize any name as though there is power in making the sound of the name, yet most Christians and Jews continue to say canned prayers and make incantations as part of their religion. NO, we are to learn about the person of Mashiyach, emulate his character, learn from his life and walk as he walked and as he taught his disciples according to an intimate spiritual relationship.
It is impossible for men to “translate” the revealed Set Apart name of YHWH and His Mashiyach into man’s values. YHWH does not ask that man preside as judges over His Authority, yet man continually does this on his own initiative, by using a thing called “religion”. For the benefit of Christians who may be upset at this discovery, don’t let your pride rule the day, it is your desire to please Mashiyach and live for him that will carry you into a more intimate relationship with YHWH. But it is also the weak flesh of religion and status quo pressure that holds a soul back from entering into a deeper, more meaningful and spiritually powerful relationship.
It is obvious that the Name of YHWH and His many Titles are to reveal His nature and character to us. YHWH created the universe with Words, and it is in the power of His Word that mankind communicates with each other about Him and His Mashiyach. Certainly the Spirit is not constrained by the limitations of our vocabulary, but words and names are meant to give us entry into greater Spiritual consciousness, yet each of us were taught basic information about YHWH and His Mashiyach from the words and names we learnt from our teachers. Regardless of what our teachers might say, YHWH says that He regards His Name as “Set Apart”, and that He requires us to also honor His Name as SET APART. Therefore we set apart Words and Names that are meant to elevate that which pertains to YHWH and His Mashiyach from those things that are opposed to the Kingdom of Elohim.
“And YHWH Elohim formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a nefesh chaya.”
Genesis 2:7
The Targumist writes that nefesh chaya is best translated as the “spirit of speech”. YHWH “breathed” a “spirit” into mankind that is of His own Spirit, to connect us to Himself. Initially the whole world was of one language. The reason YHWH confused the languages was so that mankind wouldn’t soon repeat what he did in Noah’s day, and bring destruction upon himself. The diversity of languages and culture bought us time and allowed humanity to nurture cultures and diversity that would bring more glory to YHWH. Is it not a blessed thing to travel to various countries and be with Believers who dress different, prepare their food different, who have different customs when they sing, dance and worship the King of Kings? But YHWH did not confuse the revelation about Himself, this was the work of the adversary. The revelation of YHWH was given in Hebrew because in it’s original form and delivery, it was perfect. The Hebrew language connected the spirit of man (neshama) to the soul (nephesh) and body (guf) and to all the rest of the created world as members of YHWH’s Creation. Hebrew was originally pictographical, it conveyed moral sequence and revelation about YHWH and man’s obligation to YHWH and to each other.
When man began to slice and dice the revelation of Mashiyach Yeshua and the Torah of YHWH, the world was set on a course for destruction, and it is not possible for mankind himself to turn it back. After the Pharisee elitists killed Yeshua both physically and by the venom of religious tradition, the Christians then “resurrected” their own Christo-Pagan hero which they named Je-zeus, who endorses their status quo pagan religious tradition, materialism and anti-Torah traditions. The real marketing campaign of Christianity is not about the inner rebirth of righteousness within the fallen soul of man, but the justification of religious souls according to what “JeZeus did on the cross.” In Christian meetings it can routinely be heard that “Jezeus did it all,” which is a universal cop-out for Christians to live carnal, worldly, unrighteous lifestyles. The name of Jezeus represents the justification of their sins, so those who make a call to raise up Torah standards are viewed as enemies of “the church.”
Certainly there are many beautiful souls within Judaism and Christianity who have never distinguished the Yeshua of YHWH versus the Jesus of Christian tradition, the religious status quo fights aggressively to maintain it’s authority, which gets it’s power from “the beast”. Many Christians and Jews have a very good idea deep inside that their religion needs a renovation, many Christians know that if they were to renounce Jezeus and take up the sufferings of Yeshua, that their days in the local churches would be numbered. Many Jews are aware that if they investigate the real Yeshua that they will fall out of being religiously or politically correct, but that… is the cost of discipleship. The Word of YHWH must be the final authority for every Believer, not the traditions of men. We read a telling example in Scripture where a man tried to manipulate Yeshua to get himself assurance for eternal life, it goes like this:
“And, behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’ And he said unto him, ‘Why do you call me good? there is none good but one, that is, Elohim:
but if you will enter into life, keep the mitzvoth (commandments).’”
Matthew 19:16, 17
Yeshua demonstrates to this man that even if he were to esteem him as the “Good Master”, that this would NOT qualify him for eternal life, but that he is obligated to keep the Commandments of YHWH to enter into Life. This man represents Christendom who bring all manner of praise and worship to the person of Jesus, but who do not uphold Torah. The “person of Jesus” in this scenario of “Good Master” could not save anyone anymore than Hitler or Saddam Hussein could provide salvation! Unless a soul is obedient to the authority behind Mashiyach—Who is YHWH—there is NO salvation. However, Christianity has marketed a salvation “gospel” under the persona of Jesus, they claim to have a “Good Master” who did away with Torah, but this is false and evil religion.
If you will enter into Life, keep the Commandments, because this is the fullness of Yeshua himself. The Spirit within Yeshua is the Spirit of YHWH Who came in the flesh. Yeshua is Set Apart (Holy) because He was obedient to death, all of Yeshua’s followers strive to be obedient and to bring glory to his Name by their obedience, however the fallen church wants to get glory through the name of Jesus without being obedient to YHWH. These two values are as far apart as the east is from the west.
Yeshua’s sufferings opened the door of righteousness so that mankind could see the awesome love of the Father. Yeshua lived in such a way that demonstrated for each of us how we are to live each day. Because Yeshua lived, and because he resurrected, we can be empowered in him by Grace unto the perfect man, our Standard is Yeshua. Not Paul, not someone’s theology, but the Spirit of Yeshua. Yeshua is not a substitute for us but our goal, he is the example, the quintessential Jew who became a sin offering for each of us. This is how he fulfilled the office of Mashiyach ben Yoseph, but one must also bear in mind that he will return as Mashiyach ben David and sanctify the earth according to his Father’s Commandment. His suffering is complete, but now his enemies are the ones who will suffer.
One of the greatest deceptions within Christo-Paganism is the identity theft of Yeshua, although, had Yeshua been followed accordingly by our ancestors, you and I wouldn’t be here. The forces of evil would have long been overwhelmed and the Kingdom of Elohim would have been established. We would exist in a very different dimension.
The future of this world is much shorter than any of us would really care to acknowledge, this generation is witnessing the birth pangs of Mashiyach ben David, if there was ever a time in the history of the world that one would be motivated to live for Mashiyach, it would be now. There really isn’t much out there by comparison worth living for. I pray that you will be bold to sanctify the Name of YHWH in Yeshua, take courage, be peculiar, stand upright and take down the walls of the enemy. We are entering into a prophetic time when YHWH is calling out a people for His Name, He is writing His Name on their foreheads, and they will do valiantly in Him, because YHWH’s Word says He alone will be Glorified. People will refrain from saying that catastrophic events were just coincidences, evolutionists aren’t always going to continue their mealy mouthed invectives against YHWH and the true origins of life, YHWH says that in that day ALL, will know His Name.
“Holy” or what is “Kadosh” is that which is Set Apart by YHWH for His people.
Jesus was not a Set Apart name given by YHWH.
His name is Y’shua for VERY good reason!
JeZeus is the invention of a politically correct status quo religious “translator.”
And you shall know the Truth, and the Truth, shall set you free.
Yochanan/John 8:32
YHWH be with you,
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch Ben Daniel
*The word “holy” finds its origins with heile, which is a Greek term that refers to the warmth of the sun. The sun was worshipped by the pagans as a deity, and heile was also a deity. Unfortunately, the Christian churches renounce being “Set Apart” unto YHWH, as this requires following in the footsteps of Mashiyach and observing Torah. In “Christianese”, “holy” means to be embedded in a church, believe their theology, support the church, show up for meetings, and participate in building a big new church or go “soul winning” and find others who will accept the churches doctrinal positions. Each church has made for itself a “holy” status quo, therefore if you don’t belong to the church “status quo” you are not as “holy” as they. In Israel this type of thing is loosely referred to as “shtuyot” (shtoo-yot) or religious garbage.
lest He be angry and you perish from the way,
when His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that make their refuge in Him.
Psalm 2:12
Kiss the Son
Is a wonderfully magnificent and beautiful poetic directive about Mashiyach. It is also an instruction from YHWH that contains a clear and present warning for those who refuse to pay attention. Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon ordered three Hebrews into the fiery furnace because they chose to Kiss the Son instead of kissing Babylon. Mashiyach is “the Son” who is the head of the cornerstone of the Government of Heaven, therefore, the opposite of kissing the Son is to kiss anything and everything but the Son. For example, you can kiss your choice of religion, your rabbi, the pope’s ring, your boss’s (you know what) and a whole lot of other things to show your allegiance, but, this is what makes the Father YHWH jealous. He doesn’t want us kissing other gods.
Sure, you might not thing of your rabbi or pastor as a god and that’s good, BUT, if you are always asking your rabbi or pastor about what YHWH said and you don’t go to the Father yourself… then, I’m afraid you’re NOT kissing the Son. It’s not that complicated. YHWH is a Jealous Father because He wants to protect us and Bless us and bring us into His Kingdom. BUT, if we kick and scream and are ashamed and embarrassed by His Word, then we’ve kissed a religion rather than His Son.
Sure everybody’s doing it… or are they? Nope, the fact is that not everyone has succumbed to religion, there has always been a remnant of people who don’t subscribe to a religion about God, but who prefer to seek the Living Elohim themselves… this is where things get exciting.
Let’s look at an example in Scripture where a religious king thought he could make the Jews fall into line.
“Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire,
and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of Elohim.”
Daniel 3:24-25
That must have been a shocker… (say “shocker” if you’re a Pentecostal) for the most powerful henchmen on the planet. Imagine! One like the Son of Elohim is walking in a 5,000 degree furnace and the other boys look like they’re having a tropical island vacation when they’re supposed to be burning into little cheesies? See what happened here was Daniel and “the boys” weren’t going to bow down and kiss the kings (you know what) and so the Ahab and Jezebel spirits (hierlings) wanted to teach them a lesson.
Don’t get me wrong, the Scripture clearly tells us that we are to be law abiding citizenry… but when “the Beast” wants us to do something that isn’t pleasing to YHWH then we have a serious decision to make. Well we wouldn’t have been carted off to Babylon in the first place if we had been obedient to YHWH, we got ourselves in a “tight spot” by disobedience. Wouldn’t you think?
Rabbinical Judaism, Christianity and Islam and Buddhism and Hinduism and all the other “ism’s” are getting themselves in a really tight spot with YHWH now because they have all abandoned “The Son”. All the religions of the world have made a god in their own image, it’s a nasty thing to do.
Kiss the Son refers to kissing Mashiyach
the Son of YHWH Elohim Chayim
The Living Elohim.
“I will proclaim the decree:
YHWH said to me, ‘You are my Son; today I became your Father.
Ask of Me and I will make the nations your inheritance;
the whole wide world will be your possession.
You will break them with an iron rod, shatter them like a clay pot.’
Therefore Kings, be wise; be warned you judges of the earth.
Serve YHWH with fear; rejoice, but with trembling.”
Psalm 2:7
Kings be wise, don’t get all proud and puffed up. Wealthy and poor alike are going to be broken into little bits because we’ve all be warned. The Bible has been the best selling book since they first started publishing it, so no one is without excuse are they?
When the Psalmist says “Kiss the Son”, he is not referring to himself.
In many of the Psalms, King David refers to the Memra (Word) of YHWH.
David was anointed by YHWH to be the King of Israel,
but David also knew HaMashiyach who was anointed by YHWH.
We are not given this information to just think about it we are to
TEACH IT! LIVE IT! SPEAK IT TO OTHERS!
We have been entrusted with life, love and great significance.
We have been endowed with a neshama (spirit) that
can recognize the beauty of Mashiyach.
We are made in the Image of Elohim,
the One True Father Creator.
For His good pleasure He gave us LIFE.
For His good pleasure
He invites us to enter into His KINGDOM.
For His good pleasure we will live with Him
and for Him to be His people now and forever.
For His good pleasure He directs us to Kiss the Son.
Y’shua HaMashiyach
The Memra of YHWH
We choose to make preparations to meet with Him
on the Shabbat and all the Moedim (appointed times).
When haMashiyach returns we are instructed to be found in his Righteousness.
We will conquer death by the Power of the Ever-Living-One.
Early in the morning we shall seek Him.
We seek His Word and satisfy our souls by His Torah.
We love Him.
We obey Him.
We trust Him.
We are grateful for Him.
We Kiss the Son.
Y’shua HaMashiyach
Amen ve Amen

THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THOSE WHO REFUSE TO KISS THE SON
Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel,
all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal,
and every mouth which has not kissed him.
1Kings 19:18
Some Israelites chose to kiss Baal.
Some religious folks think they can kiss the Pope’s ring,
but they are kissing Baal.
Your Pastor, Spiritual Leader or Rabbi who gives any spiritual
recognition or authority to the Pope, has caused you to kiss Baal.
ALL souls who attend churches on Sunday are kissing Baal.
All Seventh Day Adventists are kissing Baal.
The SDA church follows pagan directives that originated in Rome
and they send money to Rome… surprised?
Ecumenical or Fundamentalist Christians kiss Baal… surprised?
World Council of Churches, Baal kissers.
Orthodox, Conservative or Reform Jewish Synagogues
kissing Baal as we speak… surprised?
All who do Christmas or Easter or who call on the name of “Jesus” kiss Baal…
how about now,
surprised yet?
No one can serve two masters.
Baal represents any authority that changes the Word of YHWH
regardless of how innocent or insignificant it may appear.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
What then? Israel has not obtained that which he seeks for; but the election has obtained it,
and the rest were blinded. According as it is written, Elohim has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this day.
And David says, “Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block,
and a recompense unto them: Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see,
and bow down their back always. I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall?
YHWH forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles,
for to provoke them to jealousy.
Romans 11:5-11
Apostle Paul never bowed to Baal.
Peter never bowed…
John never bowed…
James never bowed…
A TRUE FOLLOWER of YESHUA
would rather pay the ultimate price before being forced to kiss Baal.
KISS THE SON
Means we don’t accept the authority of the Rabbinical system when it conflicts with Torah.
We don’t follow the Tradition of men.
We reject relativism as an evil and pathetic ploy from hasatan.
Truth is absolute.
That’s why we call it
“TRUTH”
and there is only ONE Truth.
We either Kiss the Son or we’ll be Kissing Baal folks!

To begin with, here are a few pointed questions and comments:
Are you an "on-fire" Christian who demands Truth, or are you one of those "lukewarm" types who likes the status-quo, even when you're shown proof positive that what you believe is not Biblical? If you're "lukewarm" you won't like this article because what we have to say won't fit into the little box you've put God in. But, if you have been "missing something" in church or simply feel that "something" is off with your brand of Christianity, then read on, because you will be pleasantly surprised!
The Bible amply warns us that there will be many apostate people, false prophets and teachers and strange "beliefs" in the end times, and that only those who have the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) residing within will be able to stand firm. At this point in time, there are three major "religions" in the world: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - each with their own theologies, and each claiming to be the "right" one that possesses the keys to eternal life.
One of the basic tenets in each of the above religions is that sin is bad and that it requires Divine punishment. But, what constitutes sin? How can we know when we've sinned and, if we're guilty, how can we stop sinning? It might come as a surprise to some, but the ONLY source of Godly wisdom about what constitutes sin is the Torah (the five Books of Moses); it is our only blueprint for moral living! The Koran's "scriptures" - compiled some 600 years after the death of Messiah Yeshua (who Christians call Jesus Christ) - were borrowed from Torah; and the Christian "New Testament", while a continuation of the "Old Testament", has been mistranslated and misinterpreted to the point where the Messiah outlined throughout the Tanach (OT) in no way resembles the Divine Being who actually walked among us and offered Himself as the Final Sin Sacrifice....
Case in point: Christianity insists that "Jesus abolished the law." Unfortunately, they confused GOD's law (Torah - His divine teachings) with MAN's legalism and traditions, and consequently came up with an entire religion that has nothing to do with the teachings of the "Old Testament" God. While this might shock some, the answer becomes less muddled when we see how the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines sin: "Transgression of the law of God". Who transgresses God's Law? Those who "practice lawlessness" - those who are without the Law (Torah)....Yeshua (or Y'shua, depending on one's preferred transliteration of ) said:
Matthew 7: 23 I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness."
Does this mean Torah saves? No! Belief in Yeshua is the only reason we have eternal life! Yeshua was our Final SIN Sacrifice; but His death did not automatically abolish all of God's rules, commands, and Divine teachings which are our only blueprint for moral living! That is a huge Christian misconception, and one most Christians will fight to the death to uphold. That is why we have written the article below. 
Let's start with a little history lesson:
Hebrews 13:8 tells us (YHWH/Yahweh/God) is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow. Yeshua (our Savior's given, Hebrew Name which means "YHWH is Salvation") was YHWH-Come-in-the-Flesh during His time on Earth. He came to Earth to teach us about YHWH and His Torah (divine teachings/commands) and to show us how to live together according to God's wishes, and to present Himself as the Final Sin Sacrifice - an act which would hand the keys of eternal life to ALL mankind. A fact that many seem to miss was that Yeshua and all His disciples were Torah observant, seventh-day Sabbath and Feast-keeping, kosher Jews, who - contrary to popular belief - never preached against Torah observance.
Catholics and Christians didn't invent the concept of "Jesus" out of the blue; they basically "borrowed" Him from the Jews - and immediately stripped Him of His identity. They changed His Name to "Jesus"; they changed his birthday from the first day of Sukkot (Tabernacles) to December 25th (never mind the fact that YHWH never said to concentrate on His birthday at all); they insisted He abolished YHWH's Torah including the seventh-day Sabbath and the Biblical Feasts, suggesting those holy days were "only for Jews"; and despite the fact that YHWH commanded us not to have idols or to make graven images, they placed statues of "Jesus" (and Mary) in every Catholic church and hung him on the cross in many Christian churches - never mind the fact that no one has actually seen Him face-to-face in two thousand years and can't honestly proclaim that today's statues are a true representation of Him....
As an added slap in the face of God, the Catholics and Christians decided that "the Jews" were the "bad guys" and when they weren't harassing, imprisoning or slaughtering them in the Inquisition, the pogroms, or the Holocaust, the "Church" leaders were teaching that Judaism had been replaced with a new religion that had new rules which in no way smacked of Judaism. "Church founders" such as Ignatius(35-107 CE), Marcion (110-160 AD) and Tertullian(155-230 CE) were instrumental in tweaking the Scriptures and inserting their own opinions - which, of course, were swallowed by "the world" as "true Gospel" which sought to free the Church from "false Jewish doctrines":

Ignatius was considered to be an "auditor" and "disciple" of John. Ignatius pioneered the Greek-based Christian religion and was instrumental in the assimilation of paganism into early Christianity, packaging Christianity for a Greco-Roman Hellenic culture. Ignatius saw Jewish followers of Y'shua as nothing more than legalists and Judaizers. He despised the observance of Shabbat in favor of his Ishtar sunrise "Lord's day" Sun-Day teachings. It is scarcely possible to exaggerate the importance of the Ignatian letters to modern Christian institutions. He was a key player in the development of the modern Christo-Pagan church, promoting the "infallibility of the church" and the "universal church". If there ever was a hierarchy loving "Christian" with a Hellenistic autocratic mindset, it was Ignatius who gave himself the nickname Theophoros (the God-bearer) and taught that deacons, presbyters and bishops were a separate category of people, high and lifted up, and infused with Jesus-like authority to be lords over people. Christians consider Ignatius as one of the all time biggest movers and shakers of the all-Gentile church. He strongly instructed that "without the bishop's supervision, no baptisms or love feasts are permitted". He also believed Mary to be the eternal virgin mother of God.

Every Christian who uses the term "Old" and "New" testament must take their hats off to Marcion as he was the one who coined these terms which perfectly reflect the Hellenistic mindset of the pagan world which is ignorant of Torah. Marcion taught that the Old and New Testaments could not be reconciled with each other, and this is what you will hear in Christian churches today.

One of Tertullian's better known "achievements" was to fall into a trance and then prophesy under the influence of the "Holy Spirit", insisting his utterances were the voice of the "Holy Spirit". (The modern day speaking in tongues "born again" Pentecostal or Charismatic Christians must really appreciate someone like Tertullian!) Also, Tertullian, while fumbling in all manner of paganism and spiritism, picked up an "anointing" of the "Holy Ghost" and coined the word "Trinity" which is one of the most beloved doctrines of the pagan Church to this very day. The "persons of the trinity" doctrine flourishes in the hierarchy-based religion which sees itself as a three-sided pyramid structure. Tertullian's works abound with puns, wit, sarcasm and a continual pounding of his opponents with invectives. 
Among the teachings for the Catholics were the concepts that the Pope was the mediator between God and man, and that Mary as the "Mother of God" was to take center stage and become an "intercessor" between man and Jesus who was, as one recent article suggested, "in charge of the world's peace and our 'unbreakable support in the hard struggle against sin'..." The only problem is: there is absolutely NO Scripture to support this tradition - yet millions pray to Mary! Before Pope John Paul II died in 2005, he addressed his written motto in Latin to the Virgin Mary, which translated means, "I am totally in your hands." Where is the Scripture to support the idea that Mary has anything to do with our salvation?
After Catholism twisted YHWH's Word into oblivion, a myriad Christian denominations began to spring up that, at least, put Yeshua and His birth mother back into proper perspective. However, nobody seemed to realize that Christianity, while advocating the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation, was missing the context of the first two-thirds of God's Word which contained ALL of His Divine teachings. Thanks to the Greek/Hellenistic mindset which undermined the original Hebrew mindset, Christian leaders used the much misunderstood teachings of Paul to instill the ideas that "we're no longer under the law, but under grace" and "Jesus nailed it to the cross" - which to this day are still etched in granite as far as most Christians are concerned.
The nagging question that only the rare Christian dares ask himself is: Why would Jesus' death on the stake suddenly negate God's original Divine instructions or negate His "forever" commands? In Biblical times the people at least had a valid excuse to "go astray": They blindly followed their rabbis because they couldn't read! But today's believers cannot make that same claim, so why are people still blindly following their congregation leaders and allowing themselves to be led down a path that has led them completely away from Biblical Truth? Why are they not reading God's Word for themselves and speaking up when something seems "off"?
Another point of contention is that Christians have perpetuated the myth that "Jesus rose on a Sunday", which supposedly changed the command for the seventh day Sabbath (Genesis 2:2-3). But where in Scripture did GOD ever tell us that His Sabbath in New Covenant times was to be observed on the first day of the week (Sunday)? Not only do many/most Christians not bother to check to see what the Bible says about which day the Sabbath is, but those who insist on participating in the Sunday sabbath myth don't even bother to keep the Sabbath according to God's rules!
Isaiah 58: 13 If you hold back your foot on Shabbat from pursuing your own interests on my holy day; if you call Shabbat a delight, ADONAI'S holy day, worth honoring; then honor it by not doing your usual things or pursuing your interests or speaking about them. If you do, you will find delight in ADONAI - I will make you ride on the heights of the land and feed you with the heritage of your ancestor Ya'akov, for the mouth of ADONAI has spoken."
What everyone needs to understand is every part of Yeshua's life reflected a Torah-sacred pattern. Y'shua was conceived as the Light of the World during the Festival of Lights (Hannukah - in December on our Gregorian calendar), and was born precisely between Yom Kippur and the start of Sukkot (which always falls in the September/October timeframe), and He became the Paschal Lamb who rose on Firstfruits.
The next questions we would pose to mainstream Christians are: Why would Jesus' death negate Judaism, without which we wouldn't have the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, in the first place? (If God hadn't scattered the Jews into the nations, He and His Son would have remained the best-kept secret of tiny little Israel!) What would cause people who borrowed someone else's God to go on murdering rampages in order to "convert" the people whose God they borrowed (and changed into a Gentile adonis), so that the people to whom God gave His Torah can become "saved"? What would possess Christians to tell their Jewish brethren they're going to hell if they don't believe in Jesus? Why should a Jew believe in a god who in no way resembles the Jewish, Torah observant Messiah; someone who supposedly abolished Torah and has allowed the celebration of paganized "holidays" such as Christmas and Easter which have NO basis in the Bible?
Doesn't it stand to reason that YHWH, who said He wants no one to perish (2 Peter 3:9) and Who, throughout the history of the world, always provided ways to atone for sin, would offer eternal life to His Chosen People, the Hebrews (Genesis 12:3, Deuteronomy 7:6-8, Jeremiah 31:35-37, Romans 11:25-27, Romans 11:11-12). Although "the Jews" (which has become a "catch-all" term for all of the 12 Tribes) don't "believe" in Yeshua as Messiah yet, they DO believe in YHWH and they follow His Torah. The difference is that Jews obey "the Father" and His Torah, while Christians concentrate on "the Son" - albeit, the believe "Jesus" was a Torah-less entity who came to abolish all of His Father's Divine Instructions in Righteousness. Yes, Yeshua said, "No one comes to the Father except through Me (John 14:6); however, who is He, but YHWH-Come-in-the-Flesh? So, what right do Christians have to force the Torah-less "Jesus" down the collective throat of the Jews for their salvation?
Putting an end to the "Jesus nailed it to the cross" myth:
We love our Christian brethren, but the time has come to put an end to the "Jesus nailed it to the cross" argument and get Biblical: "Jesus" had another Name while He walked this Earth: Yeshua. He nailed to the cross the requirement to kill innocent animasl to atone for our sins; nothing more, nothing less. Belief in Yeshua means salvation/eternal life. But that in no way negates the need for Torah, God's original teachings. The Bible tells us that anyone who wants to follow the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is to be Torah observant:
Numbers 15: 13 "'Everyone who is native-born must do these things in this way when he brings an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. 14 For the generations to come, whenever an alien or anyone else living among you presents an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, he must do exactly as you do. 15 The community is to have the same rules for you and for the alien living among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the alien shall be the same before the LORD: 16 The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the alien living among you.'"
Some insist that "Torah was only for the Jews", but as we can see from the above, that is not true. There were no "Jews" until Jacob gave birth to the Tribe of Judah where the term "Jew" originated. And yet ALL who believed in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were Torah observant!
The "foreigners" include everyone who has chosen to believe in YHWH! The Bible tells us Yeshua (YHWH in the Flesh) is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8); and that He and His Apostles were all Torah observant, seventh day Sabbath and Feast-keeping, kosher Jews.
REMEMBER: Yeshua didn't come to save the whole world; only the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 15:24). But who is Israel? Anyone who believes in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! In other words, as a believer YOU are part of Israel! How do we know this? Because we see in Numbers 15:13-16 that YHWH accepts ALL who choose Him! The Bible also tells us that His original followers (both Jew and Gentile) in the First Century were all Torah observant, as well. So what supposedly happened to change that?
Jeremiah 31:32 tells us that Yahweh made His "new covenant" with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah; He did not make a "new covenant" with the Gentiles because He did not have an "old covenant" with the Gentiles! He did, however, extend His grace and mercy to the Gentiles who, once they become believers in Yeshua the Jewish Messiah, automatically become part of "Israel"! And God told Israel: "I give you good instruction: Do not forsake my Torah" (Proverbs 4:2).
Therefore, it's high time to set the record straight and let the world know that Jesus "nailed to the cross" not Torah, but the "documented opinions of Man" - the man-made traditions and interpretations that had forced their way into the Word of God. Yeshua even said He came NOT to abolish but to fulfill" (Matthew 5:17-20). "Fulfill" did not mean "put an end to"; but rather, to "establish" or "confirm"! Torah is our only blueprint for moral behavior, so why would it have been abolished at the cross? That makes no sense! Rav Sha'ul (Apostle Paul) said the following which most Christians seem to overlook: Romans 3: 31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
Author Andrew Gabriel Roth further explains:

Colossians 2: 14 Having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
So, what then is "the certificate of debt"?....The word in Aramaic means both "debt" and "sin". In addition, Y'shua used the same word in the Sermon on the Mount when he says, "Forgive our debts/offenses, as we forgive those who are in debt to us/have offended us." Interesting to note, half the Greek texts read "debt" and the other half "offense" because each group chose one of this word's two meanings. However, in Aramaic thought, to be in sin is literally to be in debt!
So, what then is "the certificate of debt"?....The word in Aramaic means both "debt"...And so, the certificate of our debts is simply a record of all the transgressions that we have generated throughout our lives. The Torah tells us what those sins are, but what Y'shua did was take the transcript of those sins and nails those to the cross! This act of mercy then leaves us in the same position as the adulteress in John 8, who was pardoned by Y'shua not because she was innocent, but because her accusers had fled. Then Y'shua, who knew she was guilty, could have judged her as the Son of Man, but let her go because he followed the Torah principle that demanded two witnesses establish her guilt (Deuteronomy 17:6, 19:15). We notice also that she does not exactly get a free pass to do whatever she pleases because Y'shua adds, "Go now, and sin no more."
So, what then is "the certificate of debt"?....The word in Aramaic means both "debt"...so when we are guilty of sin, YHWH is one witness to that guilt, and the record that is generated of that sin is another. However, with the reconcilement of Y'shua on the cross dying in our place, that second witness/record against us is obliterated, and the Torah remains simply to guide us in the path of righteousness for the rest of our redeemed lives. 
When most Christians are confronted with the idea that every believer in Christ is to observe the Biblical Feasts, they go ballistic and insist the Feasts were only for the Jews. But, this is untrue. As mentioned above, Numbers 15 tells us YHWH said that the alien who joins Israel must do exactly as Israel when it comes to worshipping God. Therefore, the "alien" (Christians who are grafted in to Israel) are required to keep the Feasts.
Yeshua so far only fulfilled the first four of the seven Feasts, with the next one to be fulfilled being what Christians term "the rapture". How did "Jesus" fulfill Christmas and Easter when these "holidays" can't be backed up by Scripture and He wasn't even born in December, or resurrected on "Easter Sunday"? The Bible tells us He was born during Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), died on 14 Nisan (Feast of Passover) and resurrected exactly three days later on the seventh day Sabbath. (As an aside, the Israelites were led out of Egypt and given physical liberation on 14 Nisan/Passover (Exodus 12:1-13) which foreshadowed Yeshua, the Passover Lamb whose death provided spiritual liberation [see Matthew, Mark, Luke and John]. Also, many of the European concentration camps were liberated on or around 14 Nisan, and Hitler committed suicide during this timeframe [April 30, 1945]. Coincidence?....)
Putting it all into perspective:
Anti-Jew/anti-Israel rhetoric has always been in vogue since the day Yeshua was executed on the stake. Millions of Jews have been killed "in the Name of Jesus" and the vice-like grip of world anti-Semitism continues to squeeze a little harder with each passing year. The Middle East situation rages on with ever-growing tensions between Israel and the Muslim nations - and the world, more and more, has chosen to "side" with the Muslims. In order to appease Muslims (who have absolutely no right to The Land in YHWH's eyes) the powers-that-be have divided Israel to the point where her original borders have been basically forgotten. None of our leaders, Christian or otherwise, are taking into account the Bible prophecies concerning these matters, including the fact that YHWH, via the Abrahamic Covenant, gave permanent ownership of the land of Canaan to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Genesis 17:7-8). All this trouble is the result of man's continued disobedience YHWH! A lot of heartache in this world could have been prevented if man had only been willing to do their Creator's Will.
Christians, Muslims, atheists and people from all walks of life are aiding Satan in his quest to annihilate Israel and the Jews - as evidenced by the actions of the Geneva-based World Council of Churches which recently announced the launch of a planet-wide crusade to bring churches into alliance against the Jews' "occupation" of Israel's biblical lands; and the Vatican's recent announcement that Pope Benedict XVI apparently intends to authorize the return of the controversial Latin Mass, despite its profoundly anti-Semitic elements - which includes references to "perfidious" Jews and other anti-Jewish slurs.
The above is not surprising when viewed from a Biblical perspective. After all, the Bible tells us that the whole world will hate Israel in the end times. Israel will be invaded (Ezekiel chapters 38-39); the Antichrist will break his seven-year covenant with Israel; and worldwide persecution of Israel will result (Daniel 9:27; 12:1, 11; Zechariah 11:16; Matthew 24:15, 21; Revelation 12:13). The bottom line is that the Pope and the Christian "World Council of Churches" are merely players in Satan's chess game - and apparently willing players, at that....
How can this be when each of these churches are supposedly following the Bible? The answer is: Man has been disobeying ADONAI since the beginning of time, and he's still doing it! Why? Because he's taken God's Word and twisted into something more suitable, more comfortable, something he can fit into his lifestyle without getting his hands dirty. Unfortunately, by using his limited human mindset to interpret the Word of YHWH, man has basically written his own ticket to hell. No matter what signs and wonders he's performed or the prophecies he's spoken "in the name of God", man's "Lord, Lord, look what I did for you!" won't cut it on Judgment Day because all He will be interested in is whether or not you obeyed His "forever" commandments and believed in the Messiah He sent to be our Final Sin Sacrifice. He's not going to be very "understanding" of the fact that you misinterpreted, misunderstood or outright ignored His Torah, especially since He's provided plenty of Scriptures to get our attention!
What "misinterpretation" are Christians and Catholics guilty of? Let us count the ways:
Borrowing the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and immediately changing His Word to reflect "another Gospel" - one that does not include His original, divine teachings (Torah).

Misinterpreting the difference between "the law" (rabbinical rules and concepts) and "Torah" (YHWH's Divine Instructions in Righteousness) and insisting that "Jesus" nailed them to the cross.

Changing YHWH's moedim - His appointed times/feasts and the seventh day Sabbath.

Giving Y'shua a new name, a new birthday, a bogus resurrection date, and basically turning Him into a blond, blue-eyed adonis who in no way resembles the Jewish Torah observant, tallit-wearing, seventh day Sabbath and Feast-keeping, kosher Jew.

Insisting "the Jews" are going to hell because of their refusal to "believe" in the Christian God who supposedly abolished Torah, His seventh-day Sabbath and the Biblical Feasts....
Many Christians, especially those who consider themselves "White Supremacists" and their ilk have adopted "replacement theology", insisting that because the Jews disobeyed God, He rejected them, scattered them into the nations, and replaced them with "the church". While it's true that YHWH did scatter the Jews (Genesis 28:10-15), many don't realize that, if Jews hadn't been scattered into the nations, the world would never have heard of YHWH or Yeshua! But, in the meantime, He NEVER "replaced" the Jews. The Bible tells us that believers in Messiah Yeshua are "grafted in" to the Olive Tree (Israel), not the other way around (Romans 11:13-17, Romans 11:24).
Yeshua Himself said that all the things talked about in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled. What does all of this mean to Christians? If God promised Israel that land and reneges on His promise, then He might renege on your promise of salvation as well.
Romans 9:4-5 "Israelites to who belongs the adoption as sons and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all...."
While once it was the Crusader and the Grand Inquisitor and the Nazi, today it is the Imam and the Islamic Cleric and the President of Iran who have called for the destruction of Israel and the Jews. Unfortunately, however, Satan is still alive and well in the church spouting such lies from the pits of hell as "replacement theology", that the church has somehow replaced Israel and that the Jews don't belong in the Land. However, the Bible clearly tells us Israel was an everlasting possession (Genesis 17:7-8). That means forever. This was reiterated when an Angel of the Lord said; "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers and I said I will never break my covenant" (Judges 2:1). God keeps His promises that He confirmed to Israel as an everlasting covenant (Psalm105:6-11) and He says that the offspring of Israel will cease from being a nation when the fixed order of the sun, the moon and the stars departs (Jeremiah 31:35-37).
Deuteronomy 7: 6 For you are a people set apart as holy for ADONAI your God. ADONAI your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his own unique treasure. 7 ADONAI didn't set his heart on you or choose you because you numbered more than any other people - on the contrary, you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 Rather, it was because ADONAI loved you, and because he wanted to keep the oath which he had sworn to your ancestors, that ADONAI brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from a life of slavery under the hand of Pharoah king of Egypt.
Did ADONAI ever suggest that the "Gentiles" would one day replace the Jews as God's Chosen? No!
Genesis 12: 3 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
The God of Israel says that He will bring to judgment those nations that divide the land of Israel:
Joel 3: 1 "For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land. 3 They have cast lots for My people, have given a boy in exchange for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
"White Supremacists" like to justify their hatred of the Jews because "the Jews killed Jesus." Perhaps they need to ask themselves: Who nailed Him to the cross? It was the Romans! Why was He nailed to the cross? Because He offered Himself up as the FINAL SIN SACRIFICE for all sinners! Why did He agree die? For the SIN OF ALL! If Yeshua hadn't done this, then we would ALL be headed for hell - including the "White Supremacists" who wouldn't even have a "Jesus" if it weren't for "the Jews"....
Let's always remember that Yeshua HAD to die to offer eternal life to the believers of this world. Let's remember that if God hadn't scattered the Jews, then nobody on earth, except tiny Israel would ever have known about YHWH, our Creator! There certainly wouldn't be any "Christians" because - had they never heard of YHWH - they never would have heard about His Son Yeshua who came to die in exchange for our sins!
Let's always remember that God gave us a new (or rather, "renewed" covenant; NOT a new Torah! Covenants can change; YHWH's laws do not!
Let's also remember that the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is the unfolding of YHWH's "Big Picture". HE is God; WE are His Creation. He tells us what to do; our job is to obey. When we obey, we reap God's blessings. When we disobey, we end up with only our big toes dipped in God's "swimming pool" and staying on the sidelines while the TRUE believers who have immersed themselves with Truth are being used to further His ultimate agenda - which is to usher in His Kingdom. Judging by world events, especially in the Middle East, we ARE in the "end times" as outlined in the Books of Daniel and Revelation. The time is short; it's a quarter till midnight. Instead of fighting the knowledge that God has placed before us, a true believer should welcome it - and the blessings that are sure to follow.
Part 1 – FOOD Past and Present
Ever ponder the reason why YHWH created us to require food? He could have easily designed humans to extract their sustenance from the air, like the whales who “eat” plankton from the water, they just swim around and “breathe” their food in. It would be so easy! No grocery bags, no dishes to wash, no planting, harvesting, the farmers wouldn’t have to pray for the rain. There wouldn’t be famine or poverty in “underdeveloped” countries, food would be as plentiful as the air we breathe, then we could expend our energy on other things.
We don’t think about it much, but we are extremely dependant upon food and water. Perhaps the Rabbis have it right to suggest the reason YHWH created us to be dependant upon food, is that we would remember to pray, even thrice daily. For millennia our forefathers prayed at least three times daily, the tradition of Jews, Christians, and Moslems is to pray either before or after every meal. One of the greatest Prophets of all time, a mighty man of Prayer, Daniel showed us that prayer comes even before life itself. In many ways, enjoyment of food is linked to our prayer life, and there are many lessons in Scripture that pertain to what we should or shouldn’t put into our mouths.
Most Bible students realize that food has always played an important role in observance, whether through the sacrifices, or by direct Commandment as it pertains to clean and unclean foods. Vayikra/Leviticus 11 provides a detailed summary of what YHWH Commanded as “clean or unclean” foods, which He instructed “To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.” As we progress into the Ketuvim Netzarim (writings of the Nazarenes) we witness consistent revelation of the Word of YHWH as it pertains to clean and unclean food. We also discover that the Apostles resisted a few religious traditions pertaining to food, such as in Timothy.
“Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats,which YHWH had created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.For every creature of YHWH is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:For it is sanctified by the word of YHWH and prayer.
1 Timothy 4:3-5
Food is “sanctified by the word of YHWH”, which means that there are certain foods that are “set apart” by the Word YHWH for the household of Faith, which means some foods are ok, while others are forbidden. The Word of YHWH determines what is fit for food, and what is not. Most realize the “New Testament” wasn’t written until years after Y’shua had ascended to the Father, therefore the Word of YHWH specifically refers to the Torah (five books of Moshe) and/or Tanakh (Torah Prophets Writings). Paul writes to Timothy to make sure that the Assembly is taught about the importance of eating food “sanctified by the Word of YHWH”, and through prayer, which means both. According to Y’shua, some religious people in his day were making a very big deal out of things that go into the mouth, and forgetting about sanctifying their actions according to the Word of YHWH.
“And you despise the word of Elohim, because of the tradition that you have handed down and that resemble these many things that you do. And Y’shua called all the crowd and said to them,Hear me all of you and understand, There isn’t anything that is on the outside of a man that enters into him that is able to defile him. But the thing that goes out from him, that is the thing that defiles a man. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! And when Y’shua entered into the house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about that saying. He said to them,You are likewise slow to understand. You do not know that everything which enters into a man from the outside is not able to defile him. Because it does not enter into his heart, rather into his belly and is cast out by excretion, which purifies all the food. But anything that goes out from a man is that which defiles a man. For from the inside, from the heart of the sons of men proceeds evil thoughts, adultery, fornication, theft, murder, Extortion, wickedness, deceit, lust. An evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things, they do proceed from within a man and defile him.“
Mark 7:13-23
The religious traditions of the Pharisees focused on external requirements, avoiding the deeper matters of the heart, but Christians shouldn’t be too quick to use this verse to point their fingers. Many English translations, provide a parenthetical comment in Mark 7:19 stating (in so doing Y’shua declared all foods clean). This is also found in David Stern’s Messianic Jewish New Testament where Mr. Stern adds the word “ritually” clean in the narrative. However the comment does NOT appear in any of the earliest Aramaic or Greek manuscripts, it is clearly a Gentile or Christo-Pagan attempt to abandon Torah’s dietary laws.
Yeshua states that if a person plots things like murder, lies, adulteries, has evil imaginations, and so forth, then they shouldn’t be so concerned whether they’ve done n’tilat yadayim, which is a minhag (tradition) of religious Jews to have a ritual hand washing before a meal. For Christo-Pagans to suggest that Yeshua is referring to clean and unclean food here, is very telling of their motive. The first few verses of Mark 7 clearly refer to the traditional washing of hands, n’tilat yadayim, rather than the food one is about to eat. Neither does Yeshua renounce the ritual hand washing of the Pharisees, he and his disciples didn’t follow this tradition themselves, but neither does Yeshua suggest that the Pharisees should discontinue the practice, there is a much greater principle being addressed here.
The Christo-Pagan church founders however, have twisted this verse and even use it to claim that the Word of YHWH sanctifies all food for the Gentiles, but that is a deception. We have very clear directives given by the Ruach haKodesh for “entry level” observance for the non-Jewish followers of Yeshua.
“That you should stay away from that which is sacrificed and from blood and from a strangled thing and from fornication that as you keep your souls from these things you will be well.”
Acts 15:29
These four commandments for non-Jewish followers of Yeshua are directly from Torah, the first three are commandments that deal with food.
1) Gentiles are not to eat food that was “sacrificed” or dedicated to other gods, Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me.” Eating food that was dedicated to other gods shows allegiance to the people and to the god it was sacrificed to, it is forbidden.
2) Leviticus 7:26 “Moreover you shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. 27 Whatsoever soul it be that eats any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.” That’s very clear and for the non-Jewish followers of Yeshua here is Leviticus 17:12 “Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunts and catches any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.”
3) Leviticus 22:8 “That which dies of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am YHWH.” Deuteronomy 14:21 “You shall not eat of any thing that dies of itself: you shall give it unto the stranger that is in your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it unto an alien: for you are an holy people unto YHWH your Elohim. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.” The commandment of not eating anything which dies of itself refers to death by natural means, regardless of how it died, it is forbidden to eat it.
The commandment in Acts specifically states that the animal must not have died by strangulation, which is how some “un-kosher” butchers kill animals for food. In other words, the non-Jewish followers of Yeshua were commanded to take special precaution for where they obtained meat. We know from the Word of YHWH that animals are to be treated with respect, whether being tended to for life, or being slaughtered for food. Imagine living in the days before Mashiyach, and bringing a sacrifice to the Temple, perhaps to make restitution for wrong doing. Imagine taking an animal to Jerusalem for an offering during the celebration of a Feast. Treating the animal harshly would reflect a negative attitude toward the forgiveness, grace and blessings being bestowed on us. Anyone who does not show kindness to animals is not likely going to show kindness towards people! The laws in Torah regarding animal welfare are universal and timeless, because, within the law are principles of Justice and Mercy that apply to all other components of life, especially how we treat one another. Everything on our planet also dovetails with laws that pertain to clean and unclean animals, and how we prepare our food, because this is part of YHWH’s universal guidance.
The laws that pertain to animals show us that if we are to treat the blood of an animal with respect, how much more are we to respect human blood, how much more should we establish dignity for all people! There are many underlying laws and principles that enter in.
1) Anyone who doesn’t eat of things “sacrificed to idols” is also being careful to not convert cultural polytheistic values into a Messianic lifestyle. This is not solely about the abstention of certain foods, there are many aspects of community, and status quo values that are attached to things “sacrificed to idols.” Rather than go with those who don’t know Mashiyach or Torah, the tendency would be to invite them home, so as to keep the commandment given by the Ruach haKodesh. The company a person keeps is being addressed here, this distinction regarding food brings opportunity to introduce others to the Kingdom. This matter of eating things “sacrificed to idols” is so basic and foundational that it has the power to bring souls out of paganism, as do each of the Commandments of YHWH. To be a Kedoshim (Set Apart People), is to be “in” Mashiyach. Every individual makes a choice to uphold Torah as the Word of YHWH, or not. But false religion presents “alternatives” to the Word of YHWH, relativism, removing Set Apart distinctions to make convenient traditions so that people are not embarrassed by truth. Y’shua and his disciples never eat treif (unclean food), nor things sacrificed to idols, neither would they eat “whatever” was set before them, this is simply a pagan religious projection.
Consider the nature of Mashiyach, he would never sit down to a plate of meat sacrificed to idols, or eat pork chops rather than embarrass his host or hostess, because he is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Neither would Apostle Paul, nor any of Y’shua’s disciples. Mashiyach and his disciples emulated the Way. Every soul “in” Mashiyach is a door to the Kingdom, this must be understood in the most literal sense. It would be unthinkable to treat another human with contempt by violating the Word of YHWH in order to be “accepted” by their status quo rituals. The Ruach haKodesh draws a person into the kingdom, it’s never a matter of posturing or convincing someone to repent of their sin and enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. They who credit themselves for winning souls, are simply winning souls into their own religious ideology, they are not bringing anyone into the Kingdom, simply because they have not entered themselves. It’s preposterous for Christians to claim that Scripture says that it’s better to not embarrass a host or hostess and just go ahead and eat treif (food that is not fit to eat) rather than uphold the Word of YHWH and deny His Word at the dinner table of an unbeliever. A better way is to explain and teach others with love and grace that we follow Mashiyach, therefore some of the things they do are not things that we ourselves can do.
It is vitally and extremely important to realize that Mashiyach extended the Kingdom offer to all the world and those who follow Mashiyach are Israel, we are all part of the commonwealth and inheritance that YHWH has promised to Israel. Just as Israel was very clearly warned about making sacrifice to other gods, so now, is the Gentile Christian required to enter into this same discipline or start making up their own rules. YHWH spoke through Moshe and made it very clear how He feels about sacrifice to idols.
“For you shall worship no other god: for YHWH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous Elohim: Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and you eat of his sacrifice; And you take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.”
Sh’mot/Exodus 34:14-16
A very straightforward directive, but it doesn’t bode well with a Church that is embarrassed by the absolutes of the Word of YHWH. Christian sons and daughters are being instructed to go whoring after pagan gods by their Priests, Pastors, fathers, and mothers who “see nothing wrong” with decorating Tammuz trees for Christ-Mass, painting Ishtar eggs that commemorates a sex goddess of fertility and celebrating their gods on Sun-day. This is the modern way of fractionalizing the Word of YHWH and “eating things” sacrificed to idols.
2) When a person “stays away from blood“, they are choosing to select meat that is butchered according to the Word of YHWH. When the Torah is looked at as a whole, and we can begin to understand the unity of the Word, we can easily deduce how an animal is to be slaughtered. Scriptures like Genesis 22:10 “And Avraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son” reveals a methodology of slaying a sacrifice. The same knife that Avraham was about to use on his own beloved son, will very shortly see it’s real intended purpose, “And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.” Genesis 22:13.
Obviously this foreshadowed Mashiyach ben Yoseph, who is Yeshua, however none of us can begin to image how important that ram was to either Avraham, or his son Yitzak! The blood of that ram was given in exchange for his beloved son’s blood, how very grateful and contrite Avraham was toward the life of that very precious ram! This event holds insight for how we are to regard the life of an animal, whether for sacrifice, or for food. By showing respect for blood we are not only agreeing that blood is very important to YHWH, but that life itself is of supreme importance to the Giver of all Life!
“Every moving thing that lives shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall you not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of Elohim made he man.”
Genesis 9:3-6
Yes, staying away from blood is a “negative” don’t do commandment, but the positive proactive command then is to honor the life of all living creatures!
3) In light of the commandment to stay away from blood, the commandment to “stay away from a strangled thing” has a new progressive meaning attached to it. A strangled thing could either mean that the animal was strangled to death before it was slaughtered, or it was strangled in a fence or in a natural setting. Either way, the animal did not die peacefully and the blood was not drained thoroughly. The fact of the matter is that if the life of the animal is respected, then it is possible to slaughter it in a matter where it will die very peacefully, and not even know that it has been cut or bleeding. For many, this is a difficult thing to contemplate, but of course we are not addressing vegetarians per se, but those who buy their meats from the guy across town. All who follow Yeshua, and who REALLY appreciate those summer barbecues in the park or at the beach, are commanded to “stay away from a strangled thing”, no if’s, but’s or maybe’s. Therefore the action of fulfilling this commandment draws us together in Mashiyach. Those who would defy this commandment are diverging from the Kingdom of Elohim and the values that Mashiyach upheld with his own life!
When preparing the animal for slaughter, a person is to have a mindset that is consistent with regard to the blood of the animal. The blood and the life of the animal are synonymous, therefore the one doing the slaughter is to have an appreciation for the life he is taking, and show kindness and gentleness towards the animal. Some folks will object, and suggest that the slaughtering of animals in any fashion is not showing kindness, but we’ll get back to this in a moment.
4) Abstinence from fornication, means avoiding every form of sexual perversion, however the broader meaning refers to fornication with cultural deities and lifestyle choices that are rooted in paganism. The Bride of Mashiyach has a distinct calling to be separate from paganism. The value of each soul is welcome into the Kingdom of Elohim as equals, and elevated with the understanding that each one is made in “the image of Elohim.” Each believer is called to put away “the old man,” the modern evolutionary gospel that elevates man’s achievements, science and religions above the Word of YHWH. There are many examples within Christo-Paganism that caters to the pagan element. Sunday church services originated with sacrifices to the sun. Easter (Ishtar) was originally a pagan festival that commemorates a sex goddess. Easter eggs have their origin in pagan fertility rituals. Christmas trees have their origin with Tammuz (the Branch), a sex god, whose admirers put balls on small evergreen trees, as testicular remembrances of their male sex god. The small evergreen tree denotes the rebirth of Tammuz. The 4th commandment in Acts 15:19 to abstain from fornication demands that one not practice the ways of the heathen through fornicating with their deities, or permitting syncretism to bring paganism into “the gospel”.
“Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats,which YHWH had created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of YHWH is good, and nothing to be refused,if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of YHWH and prayer.
1 Timothy 4:3-5
In Paul’s day there was a “vegetarian religion” afoot, it wasn’t only that certain individuals chose to be vegetarians, but some of these vegetarians teach that it’s commanded by YHWH, to be a vegetarian. For some individuals, vegetarianism is a supreme indicator of “faith”, and Paul addresses this here.
“And let us not, on account of food, destroy the work of Elohim. For every thing is, [indeed] pure; but it is evil, to the man who eats with stumbling. 21. It is proper, that we neither eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor [do] any thing, whereby our brother is stumbled. 22. You are one in whom there is faith; keep it to yourself, before Elohim. Blessed is he, who does not condemn himself, in that thing which he allows. 23. For he who eats and doubts, is condemned; because [he eats] not in faith. For every thing which is not of faith, is sin. ”
Romans 14:20-23
It’s one thing for vegetarians to impose religious sanctions against eating meat, and cause others to stumble, but it’s another to teach unclean food is ok to eat, when it most certainly is not! When Paul instructs a person to eat in accordance with their faith, he is referring to faith according to the Word of YHWH and the Ruach haKodesh, not what is right in a person’s own eyes. Clearly the Christo-Pagan world has chosen to go to war against Torah, Yeshua, and the Apostles Torah lifestyles.
“I know indeed, and am persuaded by Master MASTER YHWH, (who is) Y’shua, that there is nothing which is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks any thing to be unclean, to him only it is defiled.. ”
Romans 14:14
Paul makes this statement in the context of vegetarianism, he most certainly does not make it in the context of clean and unclean directives in Torah. However this is exactly how Christo-Pagan theologians spin this verse to suit their own religious tradition and lifestyles. Whatever the individual “thinks” to be clean, they say, heaven will comply. This is why we refer to such as, Christo-Pagans, on the one hand they say they follow “Christ” but on the other they live as pagans or “worldly” people who have no interest in living set apart lives.
“And don’t be yoked with those who do not believe: for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity or what communion has light with darkness. Or what concord has the Messiah with Satan or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has the temple of Elohim with that of demons? For you are the temple of the living Elohim; as it is said, I will dwell among them, and walk among them, and will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people.”
2 Corinthians 6:14-17
This was written in the present tense, the Temple was still standing when Paul wrote this. Paul is referring to the same Temple where he presented offerings as recorded in Acts.
“And it has been told them, of you, that you teach all the Jews that are among the Gentiles to depart from Moshe, by telling them not to circumcise their children, and not to observe the rites of the Torah. Now, because they have heard that you have arrived here, do what we tell you. We have four men, who have vowed to purify themselves. Take them, and go and purify yourself with them, and pay the expenses along with them, as they shall shave their heads; that every one may know, that what is said against you is false, and that you fulfill and observe the Torah. As to those of the Gentiles who have believed, we have written, that they should keep themselves from [an idol’s] sacrifice, and from sexual sin, and from what is strangled, and from blood.” Then Paul took those men, on the following day, and was purified with them; and he entered and went into the temple, manifesting to them the completion of the days of the purification, up to the presentation of the offering by each of them.”
Acts 21:21-26
Certain zealots of the Pharisees tried everything they could to slander Rav Shaul, and warn Jews away from him, these were the same tactics used to put Mashiyach on the torture stake. They slandered and condemned Paul for violating Torah, and for teaching other Jews to follow Mashiyach. But Paul never taught against Torah, any more than Mashiyach Yeshua did! Spin doctor Christo-Pagans, make Paul out to be a man pleaser, they view his offering as a political move to please the Jews, especially the Rabbinate, and not something done from his heart. This thinking is consistent with the Hellenized “political” man, who use politics or religious posturing to gain influence. Christo-Pagans have projected their own pagan lifestyles upon Paul, however, Paul didn’t do things to please either the Jews or the Gentiles. The fact of the matter is that Paul took his vows and Torah observance very seriously.
“And when Paul had been there many days, he bid farewell to the Brothers, and departed by sea to go to Syria. And with him went Priscilla and Aquila, when he had shaved his head at Cenchrea, because he had vowed a vow.”
Acts 18:18
Paul’s shaved head serves as a public declaration to his devotion, and this certainly wasn’t a Rabbinical directive either because Hillel, Gamliel’s grandfather had already been making overtures that the Nazirite vow was not an important observance.
There are no conflicts between the atonement accomplished by Yeshua’s blood and the giving of offerings in the Temple. Paul walks in the footsteps of Y’shua, King David, and all the Yisrael of Elohim, when he declared “I rejoice in the Torah of Elohim, in the interior man.” Romans 7:22. Each and every blood sacrifice and offering made in the Temple past, present and future is designed according to the Word of YHWH to point to Yeshua’s perfect blood. The Temple stood until 70 AD, and from the time Yeshua ascended to The Father, Y’shua’s followers met daily in the Temple, and also gave their offerings unto YHWH, in the name of Yeshua.
In 2 Corinthians Paul says “Or what agreement has the temple of Elohim with that of demons? For you are the temple of the living Elohim” he is clearly associating the “Holiness” that YHWH commands for those of the physical temple in Jerusalem, with the holiness within the personal “temple” of our bodies, as followers of Y’shua Mashiyach. There is NO WAY anyone would be able to drag a pig into the Temple in Jerusalem without a fight! There is no way a follower of Yeshua should ever consider eating pig, or any other unclean food. When wicked men have forced pig meat upon the Jewish people, Jews fought back. Antiochus Epiphanes brought his armies against Jerusalem and offered swine in the Temple and so it is that same spirit of Antiochus is offering swine as an “alternative” food today, among Christo-Pagans.
“Wherefore, you come out from among them, and be separate from them says MASTER YHWH; and don’t touch the unclean thing, and I will receive you; And will be to you a Father, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says MASTER YHWH the Almighty.”
2 Corinthians 6:17
A textbook could be written from this one verse, especially with Paul’s statement, “don’t touch the unclean thing”. This is a message that is found throughout Scripture, for a small sample see Leviticus 5:2; 7:21; 11:8, 31; Deut 14:8; Isaiah 52:11; Lam 4:15; Haggai 2:13. Then Paul quotes, “and will be to you a Father”, which is a theme Yeshua repeated many, many times over! Yeshua teaches us that his Father YHWH is calling upon us, to accept Him as our Heavenly Father. But this Fatherhood relationship which YHWH desires for His people has it’s origin in many places within the Tanakh.
“Like as a father is compassionate towards his children, so YHWH is compassionate to them that fear him.”
Psalm 103:13
“Have we not all one Father? hath not one Elohim created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?”
Malachi 2:10
Apostle Paul is clearly distinguishing the values that are consistent to both the Word of YHWH in Torah, and Yeshua’s teaching regarding clean and unclean, and so did all the Apostles understand these principles. Peter states that in all his life, he had never eaten any unclean foods!
“And a voice came to him that said, “Shimon! Rise up. Slaughter, and eat!” And Shimon said, “[Elohim] forbid, my Master, because I have not ever eaten anything that is defiled and unclean!” And again a second time a voice came to him that [said], “That which Elohim has cleansed, you should not consider defiled!” And this happened three times, and the garment was taken up to heaven. And while Shimon marveled in himself what was the vision that he had seen, those men who were sent from Cornelius they came and stood at the gate of the courtyard and inquired concerning the house that Shimon lodged in. And they called there and asked, “Is Shimon who is called Kefa lodged here?” And while Shimon thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him:Behold! Three men you seek. Arise, go down and go with them <while> not letting your mind be divided because I [am] he [who] sent them.”
Acts 10:13-20
Peter was instructed by the Ruach haKodesh to welcome Gentiles into the Kingdom of Elohim, he was given a vision of unclean animals to depict Gentiles, this has absolutely nothing to do to with Peter or any disciples of Y’shua eating unclean food! The Word of YHWH is a progressive revelation of Justice and Righteousness, Adam and Eve were give a choice between acceptable and forbidden foods. YHWH showed a distinction between clean and unclean animals to Noah. Torah teaches a progressive revelation by extending the choice to sanctify oneself according to the Word of YHWH, or to deny the Word of YHWH. Personal cognition of the soul is developed by our free choice, those who follow YHWH and His Mashiyach are able to sanctify every component of life, if they choose, because we are made in “His Image” and His Word reveals His Will. Unclean food is not one of the weightier aspects of Torah, the Ten Commandments for instance are much more weightier. According to Torah if a person eats unclean food they are unclean until evening, the punishment for disobedience is very small compared to let’s say, breaking Shabbat, or murder, or idolatry. However rather than seeing the importance of sanctification and righteousness, Christo-Paganism invented terms like “supercessionism”, “dispensationalism” and “replacement theology” to make void the Word of YHWH, and tell people that it’s ok to eat unclean foods. Scriptures like Peter’s vision are used to support pagan ideology that licenses sin according to traditional Christian principles, which are “majority rulings”, by those who choose a denomination that suites their lifestyles.
Unclean animals in the vision illustrate unclean people. At times the Prophets of YHWH likened Israel to unclean animals, no different than Pagans, when they rebelled against the Word of YHWH, however each soul is called to humility, and to recognize mankind’s universal need for sanctification and redemption. Peter never ate unclean animals, he didn’t start eating them after the vision. It is disgusting to suggest that any followers of Y’shua ate treif, those Christians who eat pig and unclean meats are simply projecting their own pagan cultural values upon the followers of Y’shua. The Spirit spoke to Peter, he confessed to clearly understanding the meaning of the vision pertained to a “man”,
“And he said to them, “You, You know that it is not Lawful for a Yehudean man to associate with a foreign man who is not a son of his tribe, but Elohim showed to me concerning a man not to say that [he is] unclean or defiled.”
Acts 10:28
If anything, a non-Jewish person without Torah and Mashiyach should understood they are likened to unclean animals, the swine (people) either choose to be clean or to remain unclean, there is neither justification nor sanctification for anyone who wilfully continues to transgress the Word of YHWH. Anyone who is truly a follower of Mashiyach is led by the Spirit of YHWH to walk as Y’shua walked, they have passed from death to life, and will not be considered clean, until they put away unclean things. All the Apostles reiterate this many times over, see Ephesians 5:8, 11; Col 1:13; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 John 1:6.
It is no coincidence that Matthew 8, Mark 5, Luke 8 records Yeshua casting demons into a herd of swine. Swine meat is unclean, demons are unclean spirits, Yeshua destroyed them both. However Hellenized Christo-Pagans look away, and continue to entice Christians according to Hellenized traditions, contrary to Torah, Y’shua and the Shlichim (Apostles) that YHWH chose. Christo-Paganism inadvertently takes directives from the Pharisees by making religious factions between Jews and non-Jews, and teaching that the matter of clean and unclean foods only applies to Jews. Modern Orthodox Judaism teaches that Gentiles are not required to be sanctified in the same manner as a Jewish soul, however this is not what the Spirit revealed to the Apostles, nor does it reflect the prophetic Word of YHWH which teaches universal equality between all followers of Y’shua. The fact of the matter is that the stewardship of the Kingdom of Elohim was taken out of the exclusive hands of the Jewish people and extended to all who are called by Mashiyach into the Kingdom. It is a lie and an impossibility for anyone to suggest that YHWH would endorse the religious traditions of the Gentiles any more than he would the religious traditions of the Jews.
In reality there were many pockets of non-Jewish followers of Y’shua who did not dine on swine, nor break the Shabbat or any other part of the Word of YHWH. These of course suffered much persecution at the hands of “mainstream Christians” who were offended by those who would suggest that their religion was nothing more than a manmade fiasco.
Part 2 – FOOD
IN THE MILLENNIUM
“And I saw [issuing] from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast of prey, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs:”
Revelation 16:3
The Prophet uses frogs to denote unclean spirits, if we trace the unclean spirits back to the beginning, we find another preacher who said…
“…Yea, hath Elohim said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”
Genesis 3:1
This is SO like Christian preachers who preach, “Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of the unclean food?” Unclean food is equated both literally and spiritually to that which YHWH hates. YHWH uses the physical things to teach spiritual things. Only a complete fool would second guess the Word of YHWH, and suppose himself to intellectually satisfy the requirements of the Word of YHWH, while disobeying them!
“And he cried with a strong voice, saying: Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great: and has become a cavern of demons, and the home of every unclean spirit, and the home of every unclean and hateful bird and the home of every unclean and hateful beast of prey.”
Revelation 18:2
Babylon epitomizes everything that opposes the Most High Elohim and His Mashiyach. Demons, unclean spirits, unclean and hateful birds and beasts of prey are categorized as trademarks of Babylon. These forces are making war against YHWH, His Mashiyach and His people. The beast will endeavor to fight against Mashiyach ben David whose return is to sanctify the earth and his people! It is incumbent on each individual to sanctify the Word of YHWH, and not heed religious fables invented by the enemies of Mashiyach.
“For thus says YHWH, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall you suck (be nursed), you shall be borne upon [her] sides, and be dandled upon [her] knees. As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And when you see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of YHWH shall be known toward His servants, and [His] indignation toward His enemies. For, behold, YHWH will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword will YHWH plead with all flesh: and the slain of YHWH shall be many. They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says YHWH.”
Isaiah 66:12-17
Prophetically speaking, those who eat swine, the sheqets (abomination), and the mouse as we go into the time of the Millennium are headed for utter destruction. Obviously a serious follower of Yeshua isn’t going to follow Christo-Pagan traditions that uphold eating swine! The eating of swine’s flesh and other unclean foods is a relatively superficial transgression compared to much of the other betrayal of lukewarm Christianity. Refusing to dine on unclean food is a choice that will bring retribution, mocking, and scorning from church people that are comfortable with their cheap grace lifestyles. All the betrayal, dishonor, and transgression against the Word of YHWH is inconsequential when you’ve been told all your life that you’re going to heaven, and that all your sin is forgiven, past, present and future. The Catholic Church prospered by plying guilt against violation of church tradition, rather than upholding the Word of YHWH as the only authority for mankind. Catholics know they can pay a Priest to forgive sin, their premeditated sin is covered by money, influence and support of their institution. As evil as the Catholic church is, the same spirit that diminishes the Word of YHWH in favor of religious peer tradition is also found throughout the rest of Christianity in many forms, but the Word of YHWH has never changed.
“These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind.”
Leviticus 11:29
The “abomination”, Hebrew sheqets is used 11 times in the Tanakh and always refers to creatures that are unclean for food. Observant Jews and Muslims don’t dine on swine, so it’s not an issue for them, but Christians have come to use the passage in Isaiah as a theological battle for their bacon. Jews and Gentiles are equally unclean when they break Torah and defy YHWH and His Mashiyach. Check out Haggai 2:14; Ezekiel 44:22; Ezra 9:10-10:1; Isaiah 30:6-12; 65:2, 3; Jeremiah 5:22-31.
All who seek the Kingdom of Elohim must differentiate between clean or unclean according to the Word of YHWH, rather than Jewish or Christian traditions. In the matter of clean and unclean foods, whether you are a Jew or not, if you follow Mashiyach you have no right to eat unclean things. No Pastor has the authority to advocate eating of unclean food, if he does so, it is only by tradition learned at Seminary that he vowed to uphold, it’s just that simple. Regardless of how good the clam chowder, blood sausage or bacon, these things are certainly accepted by the world, but are not sanctified by the Word of YHWH. It’s your choice. Do you follow the traditions of men, or do you yield to the Word of YHWH and suffer persecution for the Truth. How is it, that for several thousand years it was against the Word of YHWH to eat swine, but then God changed His mind? If you think the Master of the Universe operates this way, then what’s the next thing you think he might change? Nope. What makes false prophets “false” is their disdain for absolute Truth. YHWH is the same yesterday, today and forever. There are other gods who will tell you whatever you want to hear, and there are Bible translations which have been manipulated to endorse Christo-Paganism, but the Truth will both endure to the end and be sanctified by Mashiyach when he returns. It’s just that simple.
“Therefore if any man [be] in Mashiyach, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
Kabbalah
simply means “to receive”, but many generally think of Kabbalah as a form of religion, or as Eastern mysticism. Having a basic understanding of Kabbalah can be quite helpful if you come up against ideas of those who use Kabbalah to shape their ideas about spirituali
Kabbalah is not a single system where all involved utilize the same basic principles, those who promote Kabbalist ideologies can be extremely duplicitous and deceptive. So hence some of the caution against studying Kabbalah. On the other hand, those who insist all Kabbalah is bad are generally ignorant and/or threatened by something they have little or no knowledge of. Anyone who communicates anything “spiritual” or who believes they have “received” insight from “the Spirit” are essentially teaching their own form of “Kabbalah”.
There are mainstream ideas within “Kabbalah” that everyone should know about and be able to discuss, whether they agree or disagree with its interpretations. For example, take a brief survey of the list of words below, how do you define them? Where did you learn about their definitions?
Abba Adam Kadmon Akedah Anthropomorphism Antinomianism Apocalyptic AtonementBa’al Circumcision Da’at End of Days Exorcism Gehinnom Gematria GevurahGrace after meals Halacha Hod Holy Spirit Kedushah Kavod Messiah MetatronNefesh Olam haba Pardes Passover Prayer Prophetic Redemption RemezResurrection Sabbath Sacrifice Sefirot Sexuality Sinai TempleThrone Tiferet Toledot Adam Torah Tikkun OlamTree of Knowledge Tree of Life TrinityVirgin Mary World Zodiac
Each of the above words represents a meaning that each of us has a “relationship” with. There are infinite “connections” within these words, each one has many levels of meaning and understanding. Let’s look at a set of names in Torah called the Toledot Adam (the line, or genealogy of Adam). The “given” names of Adams descendants to Noah are straightforward, these are “normal” Biblical names until we look a bit deeper. What is going on? Can you see a hidden meaning beneath these common individual names? You decide. In my mind what the meaning derived from the sequential meaning is no coincidence. There is universe of thought underlying these names, a hidden code to be “received”. It speaks of Mashiyach.
Toledot Adam Bereshit 5(Geneology of Adam from Genesis 5)

MAN [is] APPOINTED MORTAL SORROW,[but a] BLESSED ELOHIM SHALL COME DOWNTEACHING [that] HIS DEATH SHALL BRING[the] DESPAIRING COMFORT
MAGNIFICENT! YHWH ordained the Hebrew Names in the Toledot Adam to tell the story of Yeshua coming to earth to bring Comfort! Even SALVATION to His people! However, trying to understand Kabbalah or trying to connect with YHWH and His Mashiyach without Torah is to venture off into darkness and eventually the soul will be tormented.
True kabbalah is meant to establish the Word of YHWH in our neshama (spirit),and to strengthen and confirm our relationship with Master YHWH.
There are many levels to receiving YHWH’s wisdom, knowledge and understanding. The Adversary (HaSatan) twists that which is good and distorts it for evil purposes. However, if we focus on the Kabbalah that is revealed inside of Tanakh and the Ketuvim Netzarim, we discover magnificent revelation about YHWH, His Mashiyach, and the Life He has given each of us.
Within the Mishkan (Tabernacle), we also discover the image of Mashiyach revealed. Consider the Ark of the Covenant and the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies as the Head, and the Holy Place as the chest. In your mind stand the Mishkan on end with the Holy of Holies at the top. Picture the Table of Shewbread to the right side of the body, the Menorah to the left side, the alter of incense in the center right below the head, and the laver below that, and the alter below that and the door of entrance below that. YHWH revealed Mashiyach according to the how the Mishkan was arranged. As we study Torah and Mashiyach we can look inside our own souls and discover who we are in Him. We receive from the Spirit of YHWH something that is greater than the peshat (simple) sum of the parts. We can see how there can only be One Elohim whose Name is YHWH, Who knows about us and who communicates to us on a wonderful spiritual level. There are many imposter “spirits” which is why were are taught:
“And he that keeps His commandments dwells in Him, and He in him.And hereby we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He has given us.Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of Elohim:because many false prophets are gone out into the world.1 John 3:24-4:1
Here’s the acid test. When we “keep His Commandments we “receive” His Spirit. When we don’t keep His Commandments then we open our souls up to lying and deceiving spirits, it’s just that simple.
In the days of Yeshua, the writings of the prophets of YHWH were known as “The Kabbalah”. Today it is common for Christians or “Believers” to talk about “hearing from the The Spirit of YHWH (or the LORD). This is the hope and desire of everyone who puts their trust in Mashiyach. We desire that YHWH would communicate and reveal His will to us, help us conform our lives to Him. We are each unique souls created in the “image of Elohim” and we must have this confidence that we are worshipping YHWH in Spirit and Truth according to His Word. Each of us has received “Kabbalah” in our souls, this is our spiritual experience with YHWH and His Mashiyach. On a very personal and private level Kabbalah is all about intimacy with YHWH and seeking to do His will, but, for some it is about learning how to manipulate spiritual and material worlds to attain wealth or power, which is also known as witchcraft.
Rav Shaul (Apostle Paul) was one of the most vocal “Kabbalistic” Apostles. In Ephesians 6 Paul teaches us to put on the whole armor of Elohim, while juxtaposing the tactics of the Enemy. He applies these “Kabbalistic” elements from Tanakh to help the Body of Mashiyach overcome the whiles of the enemy. Paul draws out deeply embedded elements of Mashiyach (see Spiritual Armor p. 957 AENT 3rd Ed) from Scripture according to things he “received” from the Spirit of YHWH. However, Paul’s letters are also the most twisted part of the New Testament, Peter writes, “As also in all his (Paul’s) letters, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to understand, which they that are unlearned and unstable twist, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.” 2 Peter 3:16 Reason being, our carnal human nature tries to intellectualize the spiritual worlds rather than seeing YHWH’s Commandments as “applied Kabbalah”, as the work of the Ruach haKodesh writing Torah (part of the image of Elohim) upon our hearts.
Our homes are places of shelter, love, provision etc, we nurture a shalom biyet (house of wholeness) where the Spirit of YHWH is made welcome, and where we establish a gate of righteousness. Scripture tells us that every word from our mouths has natural and spiritual consequences. So imagine if each of us elevated our homes as a holy sanctuary, where no unkind or angry or malicious words felt comfortable. What if we could program the “jurisdiction” of our homes and everything within the borders of our gates according to Mashiyach? This is Torah. Torah is replete with jurisdictional elements of spirituality, but the reason many of us cannot “enter in” is because we follow a religion that interprets Torah according to certain traditions whether they be Jewish or Christian, rather than “receiving” Torah from Mashiyach.
Imagine your home as a sanctuary of peace and harmony. Joy and Peace is the predominate attribute. All anti-Messiah elements like religious discrimination, carnal sensuality, perversion, vain talking, lust, etc are awkward, unwelcome and do not belong.
The dinner table is an alter where we pray, fellowship and eat together with those we love. While we are having dinner together we are reminded of YHWH’s goodness throughout the day, His bountiful provisions, having our family, our friends, and many good things He gives us to enjoy each day, all provided to us by His outstretched Hand. We are also reminded of those who don’t know our Father and His love and His provisions as we’ve been blessed. Our thoughts and prayers and plans to help others often come together around the table where we eat together.
The table where we eat is a place of giving thank offerings, peace offerings and praise offerings for what YHWH has done for us in His Mashiyach. We remember the cup of wine and the bread and the words of Mashiyach Y’shua who said… “I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of Elohim shall come.” (Luke 22:18) When we do the brachot (blessings) we remember that the King of the Universe reigns over our souls our families, our homes and over the borders of our gates. This is why we sanctify our homes unto YHWH and we separate ourselves to YHWH and protect ourselves and our family from unclean spirits and carnal worldly things.
The marriage bed is holy and set apart unto YHWH. What if all “Believers” were able to“receive“ a the Way of maintaining Joy, Peace and Justice in their marriages? What impact would it have if every married couple and every child knew that going home meant they would have a place of safety, respect, honor and be loved and cherished? Much of the unity of the home is derived from the honor of the marriage bed and the love and unity between a husband and wife.
The problem is many Believers don’t even think it’s possible to “receive” deeper levels of beauty and harmony into their lives and homes. Understanding functional “kabbalah” helps us to “raise the bar”, we can open our minds to “holy thoughts” and translate that into holy actions. Clearly evil forces have put fear into people’s minds about “kabbalah”… but Mashiyach said…
“The truth will set you free…”
And the spirit of YHWH shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHWH; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of YHWH: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. Isaiah 11:2-5
HaMashiyach Y’shua demonstrated:
1) Spirit of YHWH
2) Wisdom
3) Understanding
4) Counsel
5) Might
6) Knowledge
7) Fear of YHWH
“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,and a Netzer (Sprout) shall grow out of his roots:”Isaiah 11:
Y’shua Mashiyach is the Netzer (Sprout) which grew out of the Root of Ye’shai (Jesse), these Seven Attributes signify the Character and Calling of HaMashiyach. Each of these “attributes” are very unique. These are the “SEVEN Spirits of YHWH” Revelations 5:6. The Scriptures reveal that the FEAR of YHWH is the beginning of WISDOM. This is “kabbalah”, it is the Seventh attribute, mentioned many times throughout Scripture. Five times Scripture tells us that the FEAR of YHWH brings Wisdom. In an additional two more verses FEAR and WISDOM are mentioned in the same verse, bringing a total of SEVEN references in Scripture that connects the Fear of YHWH with Wisdom. But false religion for example outright rejects the “FEAR” of YHWH. Religions teach a theology that the FEAR of YHWH is not really FEAR, but REVERENCE, or LOVE, but the word fear is YIRAH, which is “fear”. Albeit a very unique and special “fear” that is given expressly unto YHWH, and mentioned 45 times in Scripture.
“And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the YIRAH (fear) of Elohim is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.” B’resheet/Genesis 20:11
“And Moshe said unto the people, “YAREH (Fear) not: for Elohim is come to prove you, and that His YIRAH (Fear) may be before your faces, that ye sin not.” Shemot/Exodus 20:20
“Who knows the power of thine anger?even according to thy YIRAH (fear), so is your wrath!” Psalm 90:11
“Then were the men Gadol Yirah Yareh (exceedingly “fearful” afraid), and said unto him, Why have you done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of YHWH, because he had told them.” Jonah 1:10
Notice the last verse Gadol Yirah Yareh. The Fear of YHWH “YIRAH” is linked with “Yareh”, which means fear, afraid, terror etc. But what false authority has done, is to use theology to make an image of it’s own god, and in fact their “fear” is taught by the theology of men.
“Wherefore Adonai (the Master) said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their YIRAH (fear) toward me is taught by the precept of men:Isaiah 29:13
False theology depicts their gods as being a nice god of love, forgiving all willful and perpetual sins according to a man made image of god. Certainly YHWH *is* love, “Because Elohim is love; and whoever does not love, does not know Elohim.” (1 John 4:8) Those who teach that the Fear of YHWH is not FEAR, but REVERENCE, find their religious roots in Marcion, the guy who coined the words “Old and New Testament”. Many Christian Bible theologians, translated the word Hebrew Yareh and Shachah into the word REVERENCE. This is how hirelings and false authorities keep the money rolling into their churches and synagogues, they preach acceptance, relativity and tolerance of sin and evil, rather than intimacy with Father YHWH. Fear of YHWH is a spiritual connection between us and our Father. When we are in the valley of decision, whether we will sanctify His Name, keep Torah, suffer for Mashiyach’s name, lose our jobs, get kicked out of a church or synagogue by standing for truth etc, it’s at these times that our “FEAR” of YHWH overrules the fear of man. What false leaders want us to do is fear them, be afraid of being rebuked or chastened or finding ourselves on the bad side of the rabbi, priest or pastor. So what they have done is diminish our responsibility to YHWH and His Mashiyach, but advocating that we NOT Fear YHWH, but rather fear them. This is very obvious when “believers” have difficult decisions to make and rather than seek YHWH they run to a rabbi, pastor or priest for their answer and consolation.
No, again it’s how you can “receive” your understanding of FEAR, whether it be taught to you by theology or by “receiving” this within your own spirit according to the Word of YHWH being written upon your heart.
“You shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence (yareh) my sanctuary: I am YHWH.” Shemot/Exodus 19:30
“And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and (shachah) reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.”Esther 3:2
“Shachah” is most commonly translated as worship, bow down, make obeisance etc. The false church system has completely and utterly removed the original and true FEAR of YHWH right out of their churches, in so doing they’ve opened the door to all manner of counterfeit teachings.
The FEAR of YHWH is an extremely important revelation for the Body of Mashiyach. What is the FEAR of YHWH then? YHWH is a SPIRIT, an intimate FEAR of YHWH is something we must receive from YHWH, it is not a theology but a LIVING SPIRIT which YHWH puts in His people to help us from falling into carnal living and sinning against His Word.
The FEAR of YHWH becomes a “spiritual instinct”; a quality of discernment that allows us to see the boundaries YHWH has given us according to His Word. KADOSH (SET-APART) also depicts the boundaries or set-apart Nature of YHWH and all that pertains to Him, including His people. This is something to be “received” of the Ruach HaKodesh. Personal living “KABBALAH” is vital, it has extensive ramifications when it comes to our perception of YHWH and Y’shua. Speaking of RAMifications, let’s consider Avraham and Yitzhak.
When Avraham was about to sacrifice his son Yitzhak, YHWH spoke through him,
“Abraham said, My son, Elohim (G-d) will provide himself
a SEH (LAMB) for a burnt offering:” Genesis 22:8 Five verses later we read,
“And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked,and behold behind him a ‘AYIL (RAM) caught in a thicket by his horns:”Genesis 22:13.
The SEH (Lamb) YHWH promised to Avraham is Yeshua the Word of YHWH. Avraham “received” this from YHWH. It was Mashiyach who spoke with Avraham, Yitzhak and Ya’akov, the WORD OF YHWH who said He would provide HIMSELF A LAMB. The WORD of YHWH is Pure and Faithful. So mankind tortured and put to death the Perfect Lamb of Elohim, who by His suffering took away our sin and empowers us to live free of sin. Who killed Mashiyach? You and I or was it the Jews or the Romans? Again, religion offers another gospel that takes the responsibility for sin off their flocks and puts it on others
There is NO other acceptable “sin sacrifice” available today. When we speak of sacrifice we speak of an exchange of our debt of sin for forgiveness. If we can “receive” this truth, then we must realize that when we hurt another person, even unintentionally, we are indebted to make restitution and be restored with them in Mashiyach. The single most important reality in our existence is that we only enjoy so many wonderful things in this LIFE because it has been paid for us.
The majority of people on earth believe in the concept and ideals of Mashiyach. About one in four people on earth believe Yeshua is Mashiyach. That a person would even BELIEVE in something metaphysical or spiritual that they can’t physically touch is “kabbalah”. Kabbalah is spiritual revelation regardless of whether we believe or not that we are also “spiritual beings”. The fact is that we exist, body, soul and SPIRIT, so it’s not a matter of whether a person accepts or rejects the idea of kabbalah. It’s a matter of which “kabbalah” we will choose and which one chooses us.
If you’re reading this paper, it’s most likely that you are choosing to learn the kabbalah of YHWH and His Mashiyach Yeshua, not the Kabbalah of man, or some anti-Messiah cult religion. The WAY to learn kabbalah from the Ruach HaKodesh is to keep YHWH’s Commandments. Meditate on His Word. Choose to do what YHWH says. Rejoice in our Father YHWH. It is YHWH who gave us Life and Who sustains life.
“Then said his wife unto him, Do you still retain your integrity? curse Elohim, and die. But he said unto her, you speak as one of the foolish women speaks.What? shall we QABAL (receive) good at the hand of Elohim,and shall we not QABAL (receive) evil?In all this Job did not sin with his lips.”Job 2:9,10
“Hear counsel, and QABAL (receive) instruction,that you may be wise in your latter end.”Proverbs 19:20
Throughout Y’shua’s ministry he opened up our spirits by teaching “Truly I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of Elohim as a little child, he shall not enter therein.” Mark 10:15
John taught that “…A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven” John 3:27
Y’shua taught things that were difficult for many to understand and accept, when addressing those who would become eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom he said “…All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.” Matthew 19:11
“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for He dwells with you, and shall be in you.” John 14:16-17
Regrettably, many “believers” refuse to receive the “comforter”, they have settled for a theology or a religious identity about spirituality rather than choosing to live life as spiritual beings. Many cannot turn from rebellion and lies and gossip against Torah and Mashiyach and YHWH’s people because they have not loved the Father according to His Word and Spirit. The Way back (teshuva) to the Father is through repentance and humility and acknowledging our sins and doubts to Him, along with those who are His people. If we judge ourselves by ourselves we are very foolish. The standard we are judge ourselves by is Mashiyach Y’shua himself. Ask YHWH to reveal to us who we are. If someone asks, “who are you?” What would you say? Do you know, or have you simply prepared an answer? I pray that you will receive your answer from YHWH according to His Ruach haKodesh.
“And Y’shua said to them again, “Peace be with you.As my Father has sent me, I also send you.”And when he said these things, he breathed on themand said to them, “Receive the Ruach haKodesh.”John 20:22 Shalom U’Vrachot

LOVE
…til it hurts
A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples,if you have love one to another.John 13:34-35
Love is the essential ingredient of life, without love, life on this planet cannot exist. It’s within the definition of LOVE itself that we understand love must be based on righteousness, otherwise it’s chaos. Most of us would rather make a detour before love causes us any pain, but we know we can’t, so what is love really then? Most have some sort of “God Consciousness”, whether we believe in and acknowledge YHWH as the Architect Who made all and sustains all, or not, most of us have a good idea that we’re not alone in this thing called life. Some call upon HaShem, or God, or “The Lord”, or Allah, or the Divine Presence, or the Higher Power, but most souls have a sense of the “Master” who is greater than us, within us, and outside of us all at the same time.
First of all let’s not pretend that you or I are some authorities on love, we’re not and we know it, but we all know a bit about love in our own way and that’s good enough to get this discussion going.
My beloved, let us love one another: because love is from Elohim; and whoever loves, is born of Elohim and knows Elohim. Because Elohim is love; and whoever does not love, does not know Elohim. 1 John 4:7-8.
Don’t you find that a remarkable statement? Love is from Elohim (God) and whoever loves is born of Elohim (God)… I do? I choose to believe that and I have good reason, if you don’t I won’t sweat it, I would LOVE to hear your take on this by the way if you have a better understanding that I.
Well as you can see I thought to write about “Love til it hurts” because I don’t know about you, but love has caused me a lot of pain in my life, a lot of hurt. I can’t say that it wasn’t love that caused it, it was all that I knew and all the love I thought that I had to give that at times came crashing down around me and left me in puddle. What can I say… stuff happens. But the interesting thing is that love seems to be perfected within suffering. It seems to me that without suffering or having to endure and push on through something that one really hasn’t begun to approach what love really is. Ok, you might be saying “duuuh” everybody knows that. Ok, then. Maybe this is where we have some common ground because the fact of the matter is I started writing a book about love and interviewed a wide assortment of souls and nobody could agree on a definition for love.
The safe definition is that “YHWH is Love”, that’s what a lot of folks run to for an explanation because love is a big one to try to wrap our brains around. I could give you all sorts of real life stories, meeting exceptional people who I though exemplified love and giving. One that comes to mind was a young Chinese man who rented a room from me, he learned English in China, he knew very little about Canadian culture. He cooked great Chinese food and in very short order his other roommates were full of compliments and anticipation of his culinary delights. My dear friend would work all day, stop off at the Chinese grocery on his way back from work and shlep 3 or 4 bags of groceries home several times a week and cook, cook, cook. One time I asked him, how long do you plan on keeping this up? You’re feeding the whole house, buying, preparing etc, day after day. He looked at me with a, what do you mean look. He thought he died and went to heaven when he arrived in Canada, work make lots of money and give to others, work and give that was his soul.
My roommate had never read a Bible in his life. Nobody told him about Yeshua or Jesus or the Love of the Father and yet he exemplified generosity, love and caring for others like I’ve rarely seen. We were his students when it came to generosity and giving. Amazing. I say that because such a selfless person is an inspiration to everyone, but there comes a time, truth be told that a young man such as this needs to be appreciated and supported by everyone else in the group house I was running. I was the big bad landlord who dropped the boom on the roommates by saying you want to eat his food then put some of your White Anglo Saxon Protestant welfare money on the table!!! I got mad. Who me?
Maybe you’ve poured out your heart and soul to someone and got zero in return? What do you do? Keep on playing Mr. Niceguy? Be a doormat? No, life just doesn’t work that way. The fact of the matter is that LOVE is universally applicable and we must all learn to love and accept ourselves, because this is part of the Word of YHWH, this is part of the Nature of Mashiyach within us and this is the Truth.
So then there is a dichotomy between giving our love to others and receiving it back from them, and giving our love to YHWH and receiving and experiencing His love towards us. Love my friends isn’t being stupid about anything or being careless, it’s about Justice and Righteousness. The deepest love we’ll ever know in this life is pure and righteous and just and it is all demonstrated and explained from Genesis to Revelation. Sure, religion has exploited people in the name of love, ripped them off, abused them, lied and deceived the sheep and then sacrificed them on the alter of tradition… but that doesn’t change the nature of the Father’s Perfect Love poured out for you and I.
So what we want to do here is define love. We need a truthful definition without the religious and cultural cliché’s and societies modernistic crowd mentality thinking. How about it? Want to give it a try? Where are you going to reach to get that definition? In your life long experience with love? In how you love others? In how someone loves you?
I’m rather afraid that you and I are going to come up a bit short so let’s pull out all the stops and try this again.
My beloved, let us love one another: because love is from Elohim; and whoever loves, is born of Elohim and knows Elohim. Because Elohim is love; and whoever does not love, does not know Elohim. 1 John 4:7-8.
Messiah Consciousness
Within the culture of “belief” are three main elements of consciousness
that polarize the religious worlds, these can be described as follows.
Messiah Consciousness
Torah Consciousness
G-d Consciousness
Messiah Consciousness is what connects us with our Spirits, love is a product of Messiah consciousness, this consciousness connects us with others and to our Life Force. The Ruach HaKodesh brings awareness of Messiah, Torah and G-d Consciousness. Mashiyach is the “Minister of Righteousness”, through Mashiyach we have the wisdom to apply Torah and the things of YHWH Elohim to this world. Even though many souls might reject the Messiahship of Yeshua, it is through Messiah Consciousness that one can approach “the Father” who is YHWH El Elyon. But those who focus only on Messiah and reject Torah or G-d Consciousness are not complete in Mashiyach, because Messiah Consciousness leads us to “the Father” and to Torah Consciousness.
Torah Consciousness is what connects the Will of Mashiyach with our own Actions. Torah represents the MIND OF MASHIYACH, it is Yeshua who walks in the fullness of Torah and Who shows mankind how to be established in His Righteousness. Jeremiah wrote of the Brit Chadasha (New Covenant) wherein the Torah would be written on our hearts. For those not raised within the commonwealth of a Torah community it is Messiah Consciousness that established the link to the “WORD OF YHWH”. The WORD is the creative force by which YHWH used to create the Universe. The WORD OF YHWH is mentioned 255 times in the Scriptures, there are 242 mentions in the Tanak and only 13 mentions in the Ketuvim Netzarim (writings of the Netzarim which Marcion called “the New Testament”). Psalm 33:6 “By the word of YHWH were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.” John 1:14 “The WORD of YHWH became flesh and dwelt among us.” The TORAH is the WORD of YHWH, within TORAH is the WORD of YHWH that holds the Universe together, without TORAH the world would not exist. Without Torah consciousness there is no harmony between the Spiritual and Natural worlds. Torah consciousness is the Authority of YHWH which aligns the natural world into His own Consciousness. Yeshua Mashiyach is both judged and established by Torah Consciousness, if Yeshua were to have violated Torah he would have been disqualified from being Mashiyach. Yeshua was the Perfect Lamb, His PERFECTION came through being altogether RIGHTEOUS. James stated, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of His own will He begat us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.” The Word of Truth is Torah, the book of Moshe which is also confirmed by all the Prophets and the Testimony of Yeshua.
G-d Consciousness is the ultimate authority by which we live and have our being, but without both Messiah and Torah Consciousness there is ambiguity that can be interpreted in manifold ways, so much so that some call evil good and good evil. For an infinite G-d to connect to finite souls there must be a transaction in our neshama (spirit). The Word of YHWH is Spirit so as we open our hearts to receive the Word of YHWH we gain the Mind of Mashiyach. Mankind is prone to make gods in his own image, there is also the propensity to ride the vicious circle of “static god consciousness” which is another way of saying “religion”, or the methodology of god without personal relationship and interaction with YHWH Elohim. The Assyrian name for Bavel means “gate of God”, the tower of Bavel was considered by Assyrians to be the way to God, this was the Assyrian form of “g-d consciousness”. “God consciousness” for Greeks was man as the measure of all things, so much so that it was very common for men to be deified and worshipped as their gods. Many souls listen to false prophets and Television evangelists who make “images of god” through theological models, this “god consciousness” is based on the culture of self, the seminary or leadership duplicates false teaching by recruiting more volunteers to their own form of “god consciousness”.
Life is sustained through the physical and spiritual values of Messiah consciousness, but life is destroyed by anti-Messiah Consciousness. Purity of Messiah consciousness establishes Love, Compassion, and Caring, but even these most noble of attributes are easily perverted through the greed and selfishness of misplaced
“god consciousness”. Messiah Consciousness has reached it’s ultimate perversion through religion which capitalizes on ideas about Messiah, Torah or G-d but denies the power thereof. Although all religions advocate forms of Messiah Consciousness, all religions also prejudice themselves by installing Masters, Mentors and “enlightened ones” who stand in place of Mashiyach for their followers. These false shepherds are obstacles to Messiah and Torah Consciousness who operate on self made “god consciousness”. Many Christians claim to have a connection to YHWH through Messiah Consciousness, however we see blatant paganism within Christianity which speaks of hybrid consciousness derived from humanistic values. Orthodox Judaism claims to connect to YHWH through Torah Consciousness, however religious tradition has usurped true Torah Consciousness and installed the authority of man Rabbis, rather than the Living Torah.
Whether it be the New Age Movement, Christianity or Judaism, each religion struggles to define itself and be established within Messiah Consciousness, these religions have picked up many values from the anti-Messiah who is also anti-Torah, but very much pro “god”, hasatan offers himself as the alternative deity in many different forms. The word “God” means troop, fortune or luck, this adds confusion to the revelation of “God Consciousness” as even the definition of God is a departure from the truth of Elohim. Elohim is the original Hebrew word that was translated into “god”, Elohim refers only to the might or authority of deity, but YHWH and Mashiyach provide the specific attributes, authority and character of the one true Elohim. Since the beginning of man’s history there has been a struggle to connect to our True Nature and understand our existence on this earth. There are many hints of Torah based God Consciousness revealed in many parts of the earth, from Paleo Hebrew Coins on the islands of Papeete Tahiti within Ancient Polynesian and Chaldean culture, to Indian artifacts in New Mexico USA or to Brazilian Capuela, both Torah and Messiah Consciousness is evidenced. The challenge for us today is to know the reality of Messiah and Torah consciousness which makes us complete, we are to be a Kedoshim (Holy People) who are given the resources and intelligence to minister Justice. To be “Believers” is good first step towards the Perfection we are called to live within, but we must go on to maturity and Perfection. We have the resources in Yeshua and the Ruach HaKodesh to live, teach and harmonize the Word of reconciliation by walking in the Faith of Mashiyach and Observing Torah. From the pillars of Torah and Mashiyach consciousness we are to build a foundation towards true “YHWH consciousness”, only then can we know that it is not we who live for ourselves, but He who lives in us. YHWH has established His Word in us and through Mashiyach He harmonizes all things to Himself.
Let us take inventory and consider which of these three “connections” we feel the most comfortable. Which of these three do we lack confidence, in which do we feel strength? Based on the limitations of our own “human nature” we should recognize that whatever is the more familiar to us can also potentially be the most misaligned. If we feel we are strong in the area of Messiah Consciousness then we must ask YHWH to open our hearts to Torah Consciousness. If we feel our strength lies in Torah Consciousness then we must ask YHWH to open our hearts to Messiah Consciousness. If our actions do not align with the values we espouse, we must address our souls before YHWH and be reconciled in our values and actions. If we have conflict with other “Believers” we must also survey our own souls to see where we lack in wisdom or ability to reconcile all things in Yeshua. It is immature and irresponsible for souls to avoid conflict resolution by putting the onus of change upon others, even upon other religions, the fact of the matter is that we need diversity and conflict to mature us and prove Messiah & Torah Consciousness within us. We are called to be a Kedoshim which means the work of perfecting our souls is also dependant upon Mishpocha we are called to walk with, by withdrawing from conflicts or not establishing true reconciliation, Believers set themselves up to establish “god consciousness” according to the flesh, thereby neither developing maturity and fruits unto Mashiyach. We either receive or reject the Ruach HaKodesh based on how we choose to live our lives and treat others. May we each grow in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohim, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Mashiyach. Amen ve Amen!

MikvehImmersion
MIKVEH IN THE KANAGANVALLEY
And Elohim said, “Let the MAYIM (waters) under the SHAMAYIM (heaven) be Qavah (gathered together)
unto ECHAD (one) MAQOWM (place), and let the YABAHSHA (dry) ERETZ (land)
RA’AH (see or appear): and it was so. And Elohim QARA (called) the dry [land] Earth;
and the Mikveh (gathering together) of the MAYIM (waters) QARA (called) He YAM (Seas):
and Elohim saw that [it was] good.
B’resheet / Genesis 1:9, 10
Each Shabbat the disciples of Yeshua enter into a Miqra HaKodesh unto YHWH. Each annual High Day of the Feasts of YHWH are Miqra HaKodesh unto YHWH. Each soul has a unique calling to return and make Teshuva unto YHWH and be joined with Him for all these special days. Mikveh symbolizes the coming together of the waters, which makes that symbolic place for a person to enter into a Life in Mashiyach. Elohim Qara = Elohim called the waters together and He is also calling His People unto Himself, every soul on earth has endures a separation from YHWH because of sin, and because of being born into families who have refused to give thanks to YHWH for the live he has given them, and to sanctify the Name of YHWH and live according to His Torah.
Shemot 23: 3 “Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of rest, an KADOSH (holy) MIQRA (convocation) ; you shall do no work [therein]: it [is] the Shabbat of YHWH in all your dwellings.
The miqra (gathering) of YHWH’s people is vitally important to understand, Miqra is most often translated as “convocation”, but there are also places where this word is hidden in Scripture, for example: Bamidbar 10:2 “Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shall you make them: that you may use them for the MIQRA (calling) of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.” The calling of the assembly is not only a physical voice broadcasting the calling, but more importantly this is the Ruach HaKodesh which is speaking to us, calling us to gather with YHWH and His people.
Nehemiah 8:6 “And Ezra blessed YHWH, the great Elohim. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped YHWH with [their] faces to the ground. 7 Also 1) Jeshua, and 2) Bani, and 3) Sherebiah, 4) Jamin, 5) Akkub, 6) Shabbethai, 7) Hodijah, 8) Maaseiah, 9) Kelita, 10) Azariah, 11) Jozabad, 12) Hanan, 13) Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the Torah: and the people [stood] in their place. 8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the MIQRA (reading).” Note that the word MIQRA has been translated as “reading”, but the reality is that the READING within much of Torah has to do with the calling and obedience of YHWH’s people. Undoubtedly these 13 men were helping the people of Israel understand how to observe Torah, which of course means to draw close to YHWH and be His people. Torah is not an external, cerebral theological book, it is about having a relationship with YHWH and His people based on the moral, just and righteous requirements that YHWH has set forth for all people. Therefore the Mikveh is a demonstration of the relationship one is having with YHWH, together with His people.
A brief side note here, look at the names of these 13 men and what they mean, 13 of course being the number of unity. Each one has a unique, meaningful name so does every soul on earth, each man here has an identity and calling unique to their own soul, and so it is that everyone who has a mikveh into YHWH and His Mashiyach do so to by their own personal revelation according to YHWH and His Mashiyach.

The Mikveh or Immersion or Baptism is required by YHWH for all people of Yisrael as a sign between them. From ancient times, we are commanded to be immersed in “living waters”. We are called to gather unto YHWH and unto His people in the Malchut Elohim. Each soul who puts their trust in Yeshua makes up the Body of Mashiyach, the Family who belong to YHWH and His Mashiyach, who are One People. The Mikveh indicates this coming together of souls, just as the water is gathered together in one place to make a body of water. If we consider the physical properties of our bodies, we know that our bodies are mostly composed of water. Blood is made up of 83 percent water, bones are 22 percent water, muscle is 75 percent water, the average body contains more than 50% water. From a physical perspective when a person is immersed in water, they become one with the water that surrounds them, rather than the usual air environment. During the Mikveh a person must be totally immersed in water, which means they have to hold their breath as if they were dead, and of course the symbol of this is burial and resurrection. The “old man” is buried and the “new man” comes forth from the water.
Torah uses and demonstrates how water is used to clean, restore and make pure, but we also know that people are to be joined together as water is joined together into one. We get a picture of water flowing through the streams, lakes and rivers and finding it’s way into the oceans to be “joined together” and when we look upon the ocean we see One Body of water which ultimately has One Name, coming from many places. The Mikveh shows the gathering together of the waters, and we see that we are to join ourselves with YHWH and His People as the waters of the mikveh. These waters must be alive, (living waters) that are flowing, not stagnant. YHWH Himself refers to Himself as the Fountain of Living waters.
Yeremeyahu 2:13 “For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the MAQOR fountain of MAYIM (waters) CHAYIM (living), [and] hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water .
John 4:13 “Yeshua answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
We know that Yeshua refers to the Maqor Mayim Chayim (fountain of living water) which is the Ruach HaKodesh that sustains our spiritual lives in Mashiyach. It is through the confession of sins and acknowledgement of YHWH and His Mashiyach that we enter into New Life through the waters of the Mikveh. YHWH has called us to be gathered together to Himself in newness of life, after the Spirit, not after our old former ways of living.
Acts 2:38. Shimon said to them, “Repent and be immersed each of you in the name of Master YHWH–Y’shua[1]– for the forgiveness of sins, that you may receive the gift of the Spirit of Holiness. 39. For to you was the promise, and to your children, and to all those who are far away whom Elohim will call. 40. And with many other words he would witness to them and he would beseech them while saying, Save (yourselves) from this perverse generation.” 41. And some of them readily received his word and believed and were immersed. And there were added in that day about three thousand souls. 42. And they were steadfast in their teaching of the Apostles and they were fellowshipping in prayer and in the breaking of bread. 43. And fear came to every soul, and signs and many mighty deeds occurred by the hands of the Apostles in Urishlim.
Acts 4:12. And there is not salvation by another man[2] for there is not another name under heaven which is given to men by which it is proper to have life!”
Acts 10:44. And while Shimon was speaking these words, the Spirit of Holiness rested on all of them who were hearing the Word. 45. And the brothers, those circumcised, who came with him, were amazed and astonished that the gift of the Spirit was even poured out upon Gentiles. 46. For they were hearing them speaking in different tongues and they were magnifying Elohim. And Shimon was saying, 47. “<Why> can any man forbid water that those should not be immersed, who behold have received the Spirit of Holiness as we [have].” 48. Then he commanded them to be immersed in the name of our Master Y’shua the Messiah[3].
Romans 6: 1. What shall we then say? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2. Far be it: for if we are persons that have died to sin, how can we again live in it? 3. Or do you not know, that we who are immersed into Y’shua the Messiah, are immersed into his death? 4 For we are buried with him in immersion to death; that as Y’shua the Messiah arose from the dead into the glory of his Father, so also we, to walk in a new life. 5. For if we have been planted together with him into the likeness of his death, so shall we be also into his resurrection. 6. For we know, that our old man is crucified with him; that the body of sin might be abolished, and we be no more servants to sin: 7. For he that is dead [to it], is emancipated from sin. 8. If then we are dead with Messiah, let us believe that we shall live with the same Messiah. 9. For we know that Messiah rose from the dead, and no more dies; death has no dominion over him. 10. For in dying, he died for sin, once; and in living, he lives to Elohim. 11. So also do you account yourselves as being dead to sin, and alive to Elohim, through our Master Y’shua the Messiah. 12. Therefore let not sin reign in your dead body, so that you obey its lusts. 13. And also give not up your members as instruments of evil to sin, but give up yourselves to Elohim, as those who have been resuscitated from the dead; and let your members be instruments for the righteousness of Elohim. 14. And sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the Torah, but under grace. 15. What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the Torah, but under grace? May it never be! 16. Know you not, that to whomsoever you give up yourselves to serve in bondage, his servants you are, whom you serve; whether it be to sin, or whether it be to righteousness, that you give ear? 17. But thanks be to Elohim, that you were [once] the servants of sin but have [now] from the heart obeyed that form of doctrine to which you are devoted. 18. And when you were emancipated from sin, you became servants to righteousness.
Colossians 2: 11. And in him you have been circumcised with a circumcision without hands, by casting off the flesh of sins, by a circumcision of the Messiah. 12. And you have been buried with him, by immersion; and by it you have risen with him; while you believed in the power of Elohim, who raised him from the dead. 13. And you, who were dead in your sins, and by the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has resurrected with him; and he has forgiven us all our sins: 14. and, by his mandates, he blotted out the handwriting of our debts, which [handwriting] existed against us, and took [it] from the midst, and affixed [it] to his stake. 15. And, by yielding up his body, he showed contempt for principalities and authorities; and put them to shame, openly, in his own person. 16. Let no (pagan)[4] therefore judge you about food and drink, or about the distinctions of festivals, and new moons, and Shabbats;
1 Corinthians 12: 12. For as the body is one, and in it are many members; and all those members of the body, though many, are one body; so also is the Messiah.[5] 13. For all of us, likewise, by one Spirit, have been immersed into one body, whether Jews or Arameans[6], whether slaves or free; and all of us have drank in one Spirit. 14. For a body also, is not one member, but many.
Galatians 3: 26. For you are all the children of Elohim by faith in Y’shua the Messiah. 27. For those who have been immersed in Messiah, have been clothed[7] with Messiah. 28. For there is neither Jew nor Aramean, nor slave nor free, nor male nor female, but you are all one in Y’shua the Messiah. 29. And if you are of the Messiah, then you are seeds of Awraham and inheritors by the promise.
YHWH be with you,
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch Ben Daniel
[1] MarYah and Y’shua appear next to one another! Therefore Keefa is saying that the divine part of Y’shua and YHWH Himself are one and the same, he is referring to Him in both ways.
[2] In other words, no other human can claim the title of Messiah and only the true Messiah can assume the name of YHWH, in which there is total power. The only man who was pierced with the Spirit of YHWH inside him (Zechariah 12:10) is He who was conceived by the Ruach HaKodesh. Without these vital qualifications other candidates are null and void. The ONE Name under heaven is YHWH, Y’shua’s name points to YHWH. But notice that not only did christo-paganism choose to switch and replace the authority of the Name of YHWH with “the son”, but it also imparted a division within diety and coined a Grecianized name, thereby attempting to annul the Word of YHWH, and the authority within the office of Mashiyach that is sealed in and by the Name of YHWH.
[3] Because they acknowledged that Y’shua was YHWH, and that YHWH is salvation (verse 36 ).
[4] Pagans outside the Malchut Elohim who know not Torah or Messiah, were and are still judging Netzarim (Nazarene) and Elohim Fearers who are diligently keeping the Faith. Given the location of the audience, and the fact that Rav Shaul always references Jews directly, it is clear that Rav Shaul is referring to the talk of the pagans who dominate the region.
[5] One the clearest statements about “Godhead” in the entire NT. The relationship between YHWH and Y’shua is like that of the mind/head to a limb of the body. The arm is not a separate entity from the body, nor does it move in any way other than with the full power and intent of the mind. Y’shua is literally the arm of YHWH in this manner (Exodus 6:6, 23:20-22, Isaiah 53:1). This statement by Rav Shaul proves this idea is not some modernized Nazarene doctrine, but the original doctrine of Mashiyach which is founded in the Tanakh, not the expansion of this in verses 14-28.
[6] Again the word is “Armaya”—Arameans. All the tribes of Israel are comprised of Hebrews and Arameans. Others graft in to the faith though both Messiah and Torah observance. Rav Shaul is assuming his audience is similarly grafted in.
[7] That is, as a garment wraps a person inside. This is a very common idiom in both Hebrew and Aramaic. Rav Shaul uses it elsewhere in Ephesians when talking about putting on the armor of Elohim and the breastplate of righteousness. A very similar idiomatic usage, “clothed a zeal like a cloak”, is found in Isaiah 59:17.

Trust & Toil
REST AND WORK
“Moshe assembled the entire assembly of Bnei Yisrael and said to them:`These are the things that YHWH commanded to do them:On six days work shall be done, but the seventh day shall be holy for you,a day of
complete rest for YHWH;whoever does work on it shall be put to death.You shall not kindle fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day’.”(From our parashah – 35:1-2)
At first glance work, then rest, seems pretty straightforward. Work six days and rest on the Seventh, but, we all know there are many who struggle with work and many with entering into Shabbat rest. Whatever the issue, the bottom line is really whether we have Bitachon (trust), either in our work or in His rest.
Bitachon (trust) is the recognition that everything that happens is in YHWH’s control. What is the meaning of trust though? Does putting our trust in YHWH mean that YHWH will always do good for us? What would be the point of trusting in our Creator if He does bad to us? Do we do Torah or Shabbat so that good will come to us? Many, I suppose would say yes, that our motive is selfish, that we have nothing within ourselves to give back to YHWH, so we are obedient mainly for selfish reasons, but that’s a very, very, unfortunate personal assessment, that way of thinking is based on religion, dualism and materialism. In reality Bitachon (trust) points to our “spiritual being” in YHWH, if you like, we are participating in YHWH through Mashiyach. Mashiyach is in us, our trust is the connection (consciousness of) our spirits within the Ruach haKodesh.
Bitachon comes from the Hebrew word batach (trust) as in, “Batach b’YHWH with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.”
In other words, tell your heart, speak to yourself, tell your intellect and soul by your spiritual man to Batach b’YHWH”, trust in Him but in fact JOIN WITH HIM, join into His Ruach HaKodesh be One in Him as Mashiyach Y’shua taught us from Yochanan 17:11 “…that they may be one as We are.”
Would the same things have occurred in our lives (good or bad) whether we trusted or not? Why do we assume that we deserve good? What inherent thing within us demands that we deserve good things always? Isn’t a father and mother’s love for their child far greater than the material things they can offer to them? A child has little or no idea the levels of protection their father and mother are providing 24/7, even as the child grows they won’t fully understand until they have their own children to love and protect.
The Father’s love towards us is far greater than the things we get in this life, even the things that we can see with our eyes. But, at what point in life can we see beyond reward and look at “being”? Herein is the answer to Batach (trust). Being. Human spirit being. Divine being. YHWH said “I am that I am.” At this very moment we are being, we are alive in the moment and our spirit being is what allows us to connect with Shemayim (heaven), there are specific guidelines that YHWH Created but unfortunately religion and politics has re-framed Torah into the lower worlds.
We are most certainly a product of our Batach (trust) rather than what we have to show for our toil. The character within us, the loyalty and honor we carry as individuals emanates from within, evolving from the bitachon (symbiotic trust relationship) we have in YHWH. All the decisions we make are a reflection of where our trust lies, whether in YHWH or self, the more we trust the more we become, not the more we have. Unfortunately, the materialistic, humanistic, relativistic pagan world offers us a dualistic way of understanding YHWH that is based on paganism, it was formed from ideas surrounding Greek deities and culture, I could give you hundreds of examples.
Our wealth or social status is not a measure of our bitachon (trust). Our intelligence or intellectual capability, our talent, our popularity is not a measure of our bitachon. In Mashiyach there is a divine component within us that is chayil (valiant) for righteousness (right doing) that is animated by our trust. The more we exercise trust the more valiant we are to observe Torah and have Torah written upon our hearts, but, not for external reward, rather for our state of being in YHWH. This is what compels us to observe Shabbat and have Torah written upon our hearts, how and why would we want to measure that with stuff of this world?
Throughout Scripture we read about “judgment and justice”, “justice and judgment”, the “habitation of justice” being where YHWH resides. We have been entrusted by YHWH with His Covenant and His Word and each of us judges ourselves whether we consider ourselves worthy to be obedient, or whether we choose to go our own way.
The lower world (carnal or material mindset) expects things in return for trusting YHWH, the higher world enters into YHWH as the reward in itself. Those who deserve and those who don’t are both given good things from YHWH, it rains on the just and the unjust however “being in YHWH” is something we must seek and find, it’s not handed to us on a platter, or forefathers can encourage us and talk about it and tell about their relationship with YHWH and His Mashiyach, but it is up to each one of us to experience and become.
YHWH’s Word says that the Goodness of YHWH leads a man to teshuva (repentance) but in the spiritual realm the pursuit of material wealth apart from YHWH is a curse that brings a host of demons and judgments that most folks have little or no resources to deal with. The pursuit of wealth does this, not wealth itself. When a man spends his life pursuing and focusing on wealth it is at the expense of his being, herein lies the perfection of work six days and rest on the Shabbat, like Trust and Toil we see that Rest and Work provides a balance that allows us to gauge ourselves and make assessments from YHWH’s perspective of our life rather than our own assessment of ourselves.
If we trust in YHWH for material wealth, what’s in it for YHWH? What does the Creator of the Universe gain by handing over stuff to His people? What does a father and mother gain by handing over toys to their child? Do we win our children’s trust with stuff? Honor, loyalty, love, respect, compassion, equality, community, prosperity and all the things of Mashiyach is what we desire for our children and with these qualities material things are the most enjoyed, appreciated and shared.
Obedience and disobedience are demonstrations of our trust,obedience is trust in YHWH, disobedience is simply trusting in ourselves.
Modern Jewish secularism has shifted Jewish consciousness from relying and trusting in YHWH to trusting in ourselves. Bitachon is the name for the security checks one passes through in Israel before boarding the aircraft or, before entering a bank, shopping mall or café. The Ministry of Defence is the Misrad habitachon. Bitachon is also the warranty for an electrical appliance. Bituach is the insurance you buy for your home or car, and bituach leumi is social security.
According to Torah, Bitachon (Trust) is not a philosophical principle. It is an avodah (work/service) that we are required to live by. By actively trusting in YHWH, we make a change in our present situation, right here, right now. We Trust and we become. We trust and we evolve. We trust and we change. We Trust and we see Mashiyach within us the Hope of Glory. Trust is our way of responding to Who YHWH is and what He has done for us and how we enter into spiritual life in Him!
With Tefillah (Prayer) & Teshuva (turning to YHWH/repentance) we have the ability to change our situation and our relationship with YHWH, right here, right now, instantly. Through teshuva we draw close to YHWH. Even though before we were not deserving, through teshuva we transform ourselves before YHWH, our Father delights to give us our hearts desire but these things are tied to our being, not our doing.
Herein is where the Church and Rabbinical Judaism as missed their greatest opportunities for Mashiyach. Church people lash out at Torah observant brothers as “legalists” and “Judaisers”, it just rolls off their lips long before they seek the Word of YHWH or let their Spirit understand, why we as Netzari are Torah Observant. It has nothing to do with theology, I have no great desire to debate with anyone on theology, help yourself, enjoy what you know about Mashiyach it’s between you and he, not me. But the point is that a person who has their “being” in Mashiyach also see Him in and as Torah, the Living Torah and there is no dichotomy of time or application because YHWH is the same yesterday, today and forever. YHWH’s Word is the same always however the Covenant’s He has made with humanity have evolved since the fall of man because we, not HE, needed another approach to the Kingdom of Elohim.
We trust that Master YHWH is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, all we receive from YHWH is good, even if we don’t think so, we have transformed ourselves in Him and He lives within us. Both good and bad things happen to us because we live in a fallen world, we are sojourners and pilgrims in a world that has put off Torah and Mashiyach and have gone it alone.
Many say, I’ve trusted in YHWH (God, the Lord, Jesus etc) and good never came to me, no, you trusted in your trust. You employed your understanding, your religious ideas, you trusted in what you chose to trust in, not what YHWH revealed about Himself in Torah and Mashiyach, that’s the big difference. It’s YHWH’s Way or man’s way not both.
Hishtadlut / Striving (Effort) Toil
Man’s obligation to help himself.
Torah says “On six days work shall be done” -everyone is obligated to work, this isn’t a multiple choice question. Work is a burden for some and for others it’s an addiction that they love so much they can’t get enough of. “Six days work shall be done” is a Commandment for us to make an effort, how we make that effort is left to our own free will, here is where Trust and Toil are two different sides of the same coin.
If we have grown tired of putting forward our best effort, we have tired of balancing Bitachon (trust) with Hishtadlut (effort). By the way, this principle is well discussed and understood in the Jewish world, herein lies the true power of wealth. In Hebrew there are many ways of saying “work”, for example there’s Melachah (work) as in:
“And on the seventh day Elohim ended his Melachah (work)” Genesis 2:2.
So was YHWH tuckered out after creating the Universe? Sweating, heavy breathing… that kind of stuff? No. He demonstrated what OUR Melachah is, not His. Our work is to discover Him! All the work we do in the material world is connected with His divine work in the Heavenlies.
Melachah comes from the Hebrew root word Malakh (Angel) and is most commonly associated with the 39 melachah (39 elements of work) that was done during the building of the Mishkan (tabernacle). YHWH called us to build the Mishkan on earth from the pattern of which is in heaven, the work of building the tabernacle is in conjunction with the tikkun olam (rebuilding of the world) after sin brought a curse upon us. The Mishkan represents the Image of Elohim and the World to Come.
“And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought YHWH’s offering to the Melachah (work) of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his Avodah (work/service), and for the holy garments.”
The connection of Malakh (angel) with Melachah (work) forever reminds us of the Divine Nature of what we accomplish with our six days of labour. So it’s not only the satisfaction of that beautiful screaming sound of a new Ferrari that we choose to work so hard for, or the other stuff we “need” in this life, but the fact that or work is managed by our “being.” When YHWH says He gives us the delights of our hearts He really means it, He gives us delights within our own being that we cannot understand apart from Him, and we cannot enter in unless we also arrive in Shabbat with Him. Those of you who observe Shabbat as a lifestyle will know what I’m talking about, those who don’t observe Shabbat only have a theology or intellectual ideas to base their theories on, but the fact is that YHWH is Elohim of reality, He isn’t a theory, He actually exists.
Let’s tie Melachah in with another Hebrew word for work Ma’aseh:
Ma’aseh (work) as in “And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our Ma’aseh (work) and toil of our hands, because of the ground which YHWH has cursed.”
YHWH put a curse on His own Perfect Creation because one man and one woman thought they could do a better job of running the universe that YHWH.
Everyone say together… “they thought they could do a better job.”
YHWH is an equal opportunity employer, the result of sin was toil, but within toil is the self-realization of our being. Ask anyone who struggles with their job, anyone who can’t hold a job, anyone who isn’t satisfied with their lives, or their income, or their choices in life. There is no way a persons inner being is in harmony if they are not satisfied with the work of their hands and vice versa.
If a person is content with who they are, there is nothing they can’t do as work or service to others that isn’t satisfying. We can see that our work is how we also demonstrate our love to others through service, we enjoy taking those we love out for fine dining, vacations, beautiful oneg spreads, parties, beautiful homes and things to beautify life with and YHWH calls us to beautify Shabbat and oneg (delight) in Shabbat. Oneg has even evolved to become the term we use for our mid Shabbat meal as we are Commanded by YHWH to delight in Him, in His Shabbat and have Joy within ourselves!
Many people LOVE their jobs, some know they are going overboard and have become workaholics, they can’t stop, work is an addiction. Work is their identity, the stuff they have is their measure of success, they have made work it their “being” but the Commandment of Shabbat is both work and rest, Toil and Trust and is perfect in Justice.
Within our being the power of choice to love our work or resent it is available, and to delight in Shabbat or choose to ignore it.
The Hebrew Ma’aseh is work, as in “work your butt off”, any kind of work will do. The more we understand our being in YHWH, the more we see work as a reward in itself. As I write I’m thinking of family and friends and brothers and sisters in Mashiyach all over the earth, I’ve met millionaires and billionaires and I met lots who always need a few bucks, and I’ll never forget the guy I pulled out of a dumpster in Vancouver, but what is consistent with everyone is that…
Work is tied to the individual power of choice YHWH gave us.We make work our freedom, or our prison.
The Nazis had a wicked little lying ditty that said: “Arbeit macht frei” or “work makes free” but YHWH says our freedom or liberty gives us our work, we choose our work and we are thankful for the work of our hands and we thank YHWH for what He has given us to do in this life.
Hasatan the destroyer wants us to be heavily laden by our work, vexed and troubled to do our work since YHWH commanded… “six days shall thou labour”. The Adversary wants our work to be meaningless, toilsome, bothersome, redundant, unproductive and unsatisfying, he wants us to hate our job so that we will hate who we are, so that we will hate YHWH who gave us the simcha (joy) and oneg (delight) and hiddur (beauty) of being co-labourers within Creation itself.
Another Hebrew term for work is Avodah as in, “Fulfil her week, and we will give you this also for the Avodah (work) which you shall serve with me yet seven other years.” Avodah is probably the most common Hebrew word for work.
And Pharaoh put Israel to “the work”:
“Let there more Avodah (work) be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.”
A whip on our backs puts a whole new element on work doesn’t it? The Nazis “work program” for the Jews made Pharaoh look like a Sunday picnic, far, far beyond beneficial slavery for themselves, the Nazis exemplified haSatan’s ultimate work program:
Work=Terror
Rather than break the Jewish people, Jews became more industrious and devoted to their “work” than from since Jerusalem was rebuilt after the return from Babylon. Massive contributions in medicine, physics, communication and the arts and sciences erupted when Jews obtained a homeland and set out to make it a beautiful place for themselves to live, and the whole world benefits.
If you ever want to see a people who enjoy their work, sit by a busy street corner just after Shabbat is closing in Jerusalem, watch Israelis as they prepare to get back to their 6 days of work. Soon after Shabbat is over the roads are transformed into revved up cars, buses, taxis and motorcycles, the restaurants and shops begin to open and within a few hours after sunset Jerusalem is alive, thriving and humming away. On Friday morning in Jerusalem there is a noticeable heightened level of activity that transcends the other days of the week. The fervour on Friday builds through the day as Jerusalemites and visitors prepare for Shabbat the intensity is fun and exciting to be part of the energy of preparing to rest. Work while it is light because when it get’s dark on man can work, as the sun sets the Jewish people pray, rejoice and celebrate the Commandment to keep Shabbat because it is a part of our being, not a theology or idea but the reality of YHWH and His Mashiyach.
We also find the Hebrew Avodah used in the “Avodah (work) of the Miskhan” (tabernacle), “work of the House of Elohim” and “work of the heart.” Jews have a relationship with “Avodah” that is part of their “being”, this is part of the tikkun olam (rebuilding of the world) after the fall of man, we each get to participate in this magnificent Messianic restoration in the Repairer of the Breach who is Mashiyach.
We are spirit beings who have souls and bodies that permit us to create (work). As “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” so does our choice of work and how we work express part of our “being” and trust in YHWH and His Mashiyach. There is nothing wrong with being interested in and wanting money. If money interests you, if that’s what you used as a barometer of how you selected your “work” then I hope money satisfies you enough that you really enjoy your work because of it, but somehow I doubt that.
It seems that when we go after the highest paying jobs those challenges, the competition and the momentum of our work infuses us with more energy and we tend to get a lot of satisfaction from both the money and the victories we experience as individuals and as a team. However the stewardship of our money and resources also brings blessings or curses according to our “being” and the choices we make as a result of our trust in YHWH or lack thereof.
Avodah (work) is the most commonly used word for “work” in Israel and among the Jewish people, it is also has a beautiful aspect of Avodah lev, the work or service of the heart that is traditionally known as prayer. If one connects his daily routine avodah (work) that puts food on the table with avodah (work) that is our dialogue with YHWH, this puts a whole new perspective on our attitude about what work is. Our relationship with and attitude about work isn’t mundane, it is Kadosh l’YHWH (set apart unto YHWH).
YHWH created Mashiyach “a little lower” than the angels, angels aren’t confined to the material world of time and matter, but we know angels have “work” and YHWH has “work” and we know about the “work of Mashiyach” and our work is part of the work our Heavenly Family, there’s many cases in Tanakh of work satisfaction here’s one:
“And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before YHWH his Elohim. And in every Ma’aseh (work) that he began in the Avodah (work/service) of the House of Elohim, and in the Torah, and in the commandments, to seek his Elohim, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.” Every one of us can have a beautiful work experience if we return to Bitachon (trust), if our work is hidden in Mashiyach.
The House of YHWH speaks to us of Creation, Creation was an event that affected all of mankind, not only Jews. The House of YHWH is a place of prayer for all nations. Creation includes the Seventh Day Shabbat, it is not just for Jews. Creation balances Bitachon (Trust) with Hishtadlut (Toil). The Seventh Day Shabbat is part of the reasonable service or histadlut unto YHWH, this is how we put Him in the SEAT of Government over and beyond our striving and our efforts. Herein lies the single greatest principle of Trust and Faith that has ever been revealed to mankind, through, work six days and rest on Shabbat.
Shabbat is a divine element that must be looked at as Mashiyach himself, as so with our work during six days. Both are a connection between Heaven and Earth. If we don’t do our work in six days then we can’t truly enter Shabbat rest because we haven’t exercised our free choice in our being, to create and work and serve YHWH, ourselves and others. I know many people who spend the bulk of their paychecks on Thursday and Friday for a celebration on Shabbat, a friend joked one time saying his Rabbi said that you can eat anything you want on Shabbat and you will never get fat, steak, prime rib, everything, cheesecake, desserts all you can eat… as long as you don’t eat on the other 6 days of the week. Shabbat is preferred because this is when YHWH designated time for us to have with Him!
If you don’t have the freedom to choose to work then you are enslaved either internally by your own mind or externally by a slave master, neither is of YHWH. Everyone knows what our reasonable service and responsibility is to ourselves and others, but the beautiful thing is that if our work life is a mess there is an answer and a solution.
Return to trust. Return to the center of our being in YHWH. Return to the joy of obedience. Return to YHWH and He will rebalance our Trust with our Toil and give us a new beginning. Today is the acceptable day of Salvation. I pray you will hear His Voice and delight in your Trust and Toil as unto YHWH.
If we make it our work to Trust in YHWH, if that’s our work and we define it to ourselves as such, then we will enjoy creating wealth, storing up wealth for our children and our children’s children, helping others. We will delight ourselves in YHWH because we will see that He gives us all the delights of our hearts, because of who we are in Him, not because we deserve anything.
Mashiyach “working” within us… that is Perfection.
YHWH be with you,
Baruch Ben Daniel
Since the dawn of time men have decided to theorize about their own existence and purpose, and men have decided their own fate in this regard. Even given the fact that we exist, and that we never created ourselves, men still fatally conclude that he is his own god. Why? This is a far bigger question than the standard, why do we exist? The question really is why does mankind pervert his own existence in the Universe? Who doubts their own existence? Who of us gave ourselves the right to life? So then why can’t most people live their lives unto YHWH?
Herein is the answer.
Netzer is a very interesting Hebrew word which means sprout, even the very first bit of green life that makes it’s way out of the soil is a Netzer. The Netzer is the symbol which YHWH uses to express Himself within the souls in the Malchut Elohim (Kingdom of the Mighty Ones). We are the target group, we are the ones, you and I are given this revelation about why YHWH gave life and existence to mankind and the universe. Certainly there are many ideas and theories, but there is only one correct answer to why, and that answer can only be supplied by YHWH who gave Life. Life is created “in the image of Elohim”, when the Master paints a sunset, He puts His heart into it, when He paints a blue sky or dots of galaxies in the heavens it is all according to His will, nothing is lost, nothing is redundant. The greatness of YHWH is that he gave every one of us choice and though many choose to mock the giver of life, there are those who are captivated and breathless at His Majesty and Power. YHWH says that He breathed life into us and that we are made in His image.
that’s why
that is why… not how
When Mashiyach came and walked among us we came to understand the hope within us, we came to see that the Son Yeshua was in the Father, and the Father is in the Son, these are One (not three gods like the pagans teach). Then we came to learn of Mashiyach in us, the hope of glory, and through this we began to see the Mind of Mashiyach in Torah. The Torah is the Will of YHWH who came in the flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld him. We beheld him means He lives inside of us and that we know that we know Him, the dance of the blind and deaf man rages around us but we have eyes to see and ears to hear the Voice of living Elohim, inside. It’s never been a matter of why, but always a matter of being, and the path to “being” consists of humble service to the Master. To the proud He gives contention and strife, but to the humble He gives Grace. That is why many people will sadly go to their graves never knowing why, because they choose not to “be”, only to eek out an existence.
That is why the riches of the poor man,
are rarely afforded by the wealthy.
New Life is revealed according to righteous character attributes of the Netzer, who is Yeshua Mashiyach and His people. Avraham, Moshe and David were all “IN MASHIYACH” but those who espouse to be great orators and teachers of “the Faith” are oftentimes the enemies of Mashiyach and His people. Avraham had a vision of “the Word of YHWH”, which is Mashiyach, Moshe spoke face to face with Mashiyach and David saw Mashiyach, the right had of YHWH, but a lot of religious people talk “about” YHWH not with Him. Most religious people have a religious relationship with YHWH, often very impersonal, and often very intolerant of competing religious propaganda according to their own social clubs policies and procedures.
A very basic “acid test” of whether one is walking in Messiah consciousness or religion is to meditate on the character of Mashiyach as revealed in the Menorah (seven branched oil lamp).
Isaiah 11:2-5
And the spirit of YHWH shall rest upon him,
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHWH;
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of YHWH: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
HaMashiyach Yeshua perfectly demonstrated these 7 attributes:
1) Spirit of YHWH
2) Wisdom
3) Understanding
4) Counsel
5) Might
6) Knowledge
7) Fear of YHWH
“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,
and a Netzer (Sprout) shall grow out of his roots:”
Isaiah 11:1
Yeshua Mashiyach and the Malchut Elohim is the prophetic Netzer (Sprout) which grew out of the Root of Ye’shai (Jesse), these Seven Attributes signify the Character and Calling of HaMashiyach and His people. When Avraham was about to sacrifice his son Yitzhak to YHWH, “Abraham said, My son, Elohim (G-d) will provide himself a SEH (lamb) for a burnt offering:” Genesis 22:8 Only five verses later it reads, “And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ‘AYIL (ram) caught in a thicket by his horns:” verse 13. The SEH (Lamb) that YHWH promised to provide Avraham is Yeshua, the Word of YHWH who spoke with Avraham, Yitzhak and Ya’akov. YHWH did provide HIMSELF A LAMB!
So it was that mankind tortured and put to death the Perfect Lamb of Elohim, who by His suffering YHWH reconciled all the sins and dysfunction of the world. There is no other PERFECTION to behold and no other acceptable sacrifice to make reconciliation within mankind, we have nothing of value to offer in exchange for the damage done by sin. As horrific or antiquated that modern man might suppose this all to be, even that Mashiyach would offer His life for ours, the fact of the matter is that this is far BEYOND man. Countless cases of fathers and mothers have given their lives to rescue and save children, even perfect strangers have given their lives for the souls of others. The nature and power of love and justice is knitted into the DNA of man but we still have the power of choice to love or to hate, to live for Truth or to die with our pride. The single most important reality in our existence, is the One who brought us into existence. Today nearly 1 in 3 people on the planet believe that Yeshua is the Mashiyach, and they trust in what He has done for them. Why do they believe?
The reason so many souls believe in Him and trust Him
is because He demonstrated Personal Character Attributes
of Love and Sacrifice of the highest level ever known to man.
He reveals Himself inside of man.
Yeshua revealed Himself to mankind as a Servant, and joyfully volunteered to cut us some slack when we failed. Yeshua’s goal is to infuse righteousness into our souls, enabling us to return His Love to Him and for each other. Yeshua suffered for our sins so we could become a Kedoshim (Holy People) and have friendship with Him. Because Yeshua is the Son of the Most High Elohim, He requires Friendship in Terms of Righteousness. He doesn’t want or need buddies or acquaintances.
Yeshua is the sacrifice, which means that His value and importance must be counted as Most Holy (set-apart) and Righteous. He is not an icon for us to repeat His Name as a ritual, neither is He an “it”. A Kedoshim (Holy People) must bear the infamy of living for Yeshua even among those who would choose to scorn and mock His Word and sacrifice. The responsibility of defining and establishing the Kedoshim belongs to YHWH, not mankind, our responsibility is to say Hineni (here I am) and be prepared to do His will. Being a Kedoshim is the calling we have together as a people to be unified in vision and in purpose to do good.
If not Yeshua, where else or Who else has the words of eternal life?
“we believe and are sure that Yeshua Mashiyach is the Son of the living Elohim.”
All it takes for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.
We will never be “ready”, we will never be perfect, we will never have all the resources available to help all who need our help. We have what YHWH has given us for today. The SEVEN branches of the Menorah each signify a spirit and a character attribute of Mashiyach which He imparts into His Kedoshim (Holy People). The attributes are given to provide “balance” and holiness into our lives from which Justice and Righteousness will flow.
That’s a guarantee, like none other!
Amen ve Amen!
Why not?
Anointing
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and you shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Mashiyach invites each one of us to “take my yoke”, because he is meek and lowly of heart. Although he is King of Kings, he is Servant of all. As children we were sometimes anxious and desired things that we needed to ask our fathers and mothers for, did you ever feel anxious that your parents might say no? When Mashiyach describes himself as meek and lowly in heart it means he already knows our needs and our hearts before we ask. He told us that he will never reject our needs, we were all created with needs so we could learn to understand Who supplies our needs. YHWH says for us to come to Him with meek and lowly hearts, He has demonstrated this by how He sent His Son to serve. It isn’t what we would expect from a great King is it?
It’s difficult when we are rejected for being who we are, especially when it’s by those we love. We use various words to describe the pain of trampled hearts, emptiness, loneliness, sadness, and disappointment, we’ve all experienced frustration and sometimes anger caused by the insensitivities or cruelty towards our person. So it’s difficult to understand how the world can’t see the importance of common good caring for each and every soul, so that each of us can experience Justice, Mercy and Faith, and have mutual respect and love for one another.
The truth is that we cannot give what we don’t have to give. There is no guarantee that all of us will experience the love of a father or a mother in this world, the world is in a time when love has grown cold, generations of lovelessness have brought meaninglessness and hopeless to many souls… without a higher purpose people tend to focus on materialism and instant gratification.
The gurus, pastors and rabbis all have a solution for the world, all will ching-ching your bank account for a bit of their wisdom. Or take a tenth of your income each month to “love you”, call you “friend” and be your mentor, father figure, rabbi or pastor. But there is a big price to pay, it’s “religious obligation” to be accepted into “the beloved” religious circles. Religious folk will be your friend as long as your ideas don’t conflict with their religious ideas, if and when you use your own head… you’ve “fallen from Grace”. Love my friend, when its religious style love… really sucks.
On the other hand there is an exchange of greatness and love and well being and wholeness that awaits each and of us that is given to us via an “anointing”, this of course means to have the ability to communicate in our Spirit with the Master of the Universe. Religion tries to own the communication channels between you and Heaven, most people have submitted their sovereignty and relationship with Mashiyach over to a religious hierarchy of their choice. Even ancient Israelites did it, they told Moshe… you speak to YHWH for us because we’re afraid of Him. Let’s be frank. The lower nature of man tells himself, don’t make me do anything too hard and against my own will, let me do what is right in my own eyes.
Y’shua said,
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his master does:
but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father
I have made known unto you.”
John 15:9-15
Rather impossible are the words, “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” this isn’t something that seems to come naturally to mankind. And for some reading this I’m sure they are already getting agitated that I haven’t laid out the religious “Anointing” stuff that they’ve used all their lives as their religious cliché about what an anointing is. I say this because from time to time I get put to the test by Christians who demand… “HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!” or the say “DO YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES!!!” and these things to some are the evidence that a person has received an “anointing” of the Holy Spirit.
The last time that happened it was a professor from a Christian university in Jerusalem who was eager to know if I would stroke his religious anointing Charismatic idol, so knowing that time was short, his demands and impatience with me so very apparent I replied. Well sir, that seems to be a bit of an oversimplification of how the Spirit of YHWH works. That was it, one short sentence and the man wagged his head and went off in a big huff… I had failed his test.
The real answer comes from Mashiyach Y’shua himself when he said;
“You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another. If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”
John 15:16-19
Who chose you and I? If we have taken His yoke upon us then Mashiyach says it is He who chose us, and ordained us to go and bring forth fruit in his Name. He chose us and ordained us which means we walk as He walked or we’ve subjectively interpreted His Words to endorse our own values and ideas. But it seems as this is what many have preferred, none walk as Mashiyach walked. Many are afraid to speak and act according to Mashiyach because of the ridicule and resentment from those who hate the Way of Righteousness, so what people do is walk a religious walk and hang with others who accept their religiosity. They play religious games and call that an “anointing”.
“Remember the Word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my Name’s sake, because they know not Him that sent Me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, “They hated me without a cause.” But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father,
He shall testify of me:”
John 15:20-26
As the world turns away from righteousness it becomes more fashionable to persecute those who hold to a standard of righteousness and the common good. Rather than have an experience with YHWH and His Mashiyach and delight in His Word, folks are looking for a religious fan club, a religious society that affirms their common “spirituality” which one might call a group of folks with “familiar spirits”, in other words agreement according to religion rather than righteousness.
“Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fruit. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asks, and the judge asks for a reward; and the great man, he utters his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of your watchmen and your visitation comes; now shall be their perplexity. Trust you not in a friend, do not put confidence in a guide: keep the doors of your mouth from her that lies beside you. For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house. Therefore I will look unto YHWH; I will wait for the Elohim of my salvation: my Elohim will hear me. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, YHWH shall be a light unto me. I will bear the indignation of YHWH, because I have sinned against Him, until He plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His Righteousness. Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is YHWH thy Elohim? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.”
Micah 7:1-10
We’ve all learned or witnessed false love, being accepted on the basis of traditional religious understandings rather than according to the standard YHWH and His Mashiyach teach according to His Torah. As long as we walk and talk in a way that certain others like to hear, we receive acceptance, be we quickly “fall from grace” when we speak of the Name of YHWH or observe Torah and the things of HaMashiyach. Laying down one’s life for friends means to bear the infamy of the Truth and to live according to Mashiyach and His Torah. If you are doing this with joy and gratitude then you know that you have also passed from death (rebellion) to life (surrender) in Mashiyach.
You don’t need someone to measure your spirituality or anointing and compare it to theirs. You don’t need the approval of someone or a lesson on how to speak in tongues so you will fit into the tongue speaking club. I was recently invited to speak at Charismatic church where the pastor had been living and teaching the Holy Ghost revival for 30 years and what he confessed to me was shocking. The man saw 30 years of witch crafters and Jezebels coming and going from his church all in the name of “The Lord”. The “Lord” told many pew warmers how to control and manipulate the lives of others, how to give evil counsel to themselves and family and friends, how to turn friends into enemies how to lie, kill and steal and destroy. That’s what “the Lord” can do for you if you want to learn from “the Lord”.
Obviously the Devil himself transforms himself into an angel of “the Lord” and many Christian folk swallow the bait, hook, line and sinker. So let us look and see what YHWH and His Mashiyach teach us about having an “anointing” shall we?
Mashiyach calls us to take his YOKE upon us, that means we diverge from our own understanding and religions and “worldly living” and we raise up the Banner of YHWH and His Mashiyach. We distinguish between right and wrong even though we’ll walk away from churches and synagogues with our backs full of knives as people whisper and mock the Way we’ve chosen to live.
A brother in Yeshua brought much joy to my soul, I received an email from him asking if I would put up a notice on his website to let visitors know that he did not want them to purchase his materials on Shabbat, it’s a simple thing, he wants others to understand the beauty of Shabbat rest we have in Mashiyach. Can you forget about your money on Shabbat? Can you forget about the cares of this world? What matters more in this life than the love of the Father and being able to take some time and be in Him on Shabbat? Interestingly enough there is a whole world of religious people who claim to have an anointing, but they have no rest for their souls, they can’t stop their religiosity for long enough to enter into Mashiyach.
Yeshua says, “Take My Yoke upon you, and learn of me” this is a yoke of being in him, and we can be sure that as we take his Yoke upon us we will see our own flaws and our own “humanity” much more clearer, this is a wonderful asset because it helps us to not look at or dwell on the flaws of ourselves or others. The reality is that if we truly take his Yoke upon us then we will have his compassion on ourselves and upon those who would be quick to knife us in the back because of our differences. It’s not a matter of live and let live and it never has been, its a matter of dying and surrendering our lives so that we may take up a new life in our Father.
The Definition of Love
We don’t have any love of our own to give. Some years back while I was researching for a book about Love, I interviewed some of the most successful and spiritually wise couples I could. I asked each one to define love, guess what happened? I asked just under a hundred people and got more than a hundred different definitions of love, each one had magnificent life long experiences with Love. I heard the most heart warming stories about love, it was a wonderful experience, but if I asked you to define love, I’m sure you would also have a unique and amazing answer.
The point is that love, which holds the very essence of life together, is one of the most difficult things for us to define. Without love the world would die, people would be fearful and kill each other! Love ensures our continued existence on this planet and our future in the Word to Come, but we struggle for a universal definition. If you don’t already know what I am talking about, I challenge you to ask a few people to define love. We have to borrow love, we even have to borrow a definition for love because mankind doesn’t have one.
When all else fails some say, “G-d is Love”, that’s when I have to laugh, I believe they’re right, but it truly shows the state of man, doesn’t it? Some people say, “He put this love in my heart!” Because we really don’t know where else it might have come from. Besides, we know ourselves all too well, we know that love is bigger than we are there are times when we really don’t want to love or do what we know is the right thing but we have to, we’re compelled… it’s almost a “spiritual thing”.
From time to time we fail, but Love never fails… how can it? Just knowing this tells us that the road to love is in Mashiyach and of course, Love is protected by Torah. Not only is Love protected by Torah but love is the foundation of Torah. When we understand love according to Justice, Mercy and Faithfulness, and wisdom and understanding and the Spirit of YHWH then we understand the Kingdom of Heaven is built upon the Word of YHWH which has been revealed to us in what is called TORAH (instructions in righteousness).
Here’s one writers definition of LOVE:
Love is My Free Choice to Suffer for Righteousness
Love is the culmination of everything that Torah describes as Righteous, an evil person experiences love, because the Spirit of Mashiyach touches everyone, but the wicked do not walk in love because they ultimately hate righteousness. Righteousness is not ours any more than Love is ours, its not something we inherently own from our parents, we borrow righteousness from Mashiyach by experiencing him and walking according to His Way. Mashiyach is revealed to us as YHWH Tsidkenu, YHWH our Righteousness. Is it possible for someone to go through life and know or experience nothing about love, sure it is, it happens all the time. Imagine going to a church all your life and then discovering that there are many things that don’t reflect the Spirit of Mashiyach, so you say something, so they kick you out. Do you wait by the phone hoping that someone will call you? No, of course not because you’ve already been condemned to hell, they don’t care about you and the truth is… they never did. All the Church people cared about was that you were in religious agreement with them whilst you attended their meetings. Am I wrong? Tell me?
I’ve been ministering Torah and Mashiyach for nearly 30 years now and my specialty is the outcasts of Israel, those who have been rejected by religion because they have taken up Mashiyach. Religious love is probably the most evil thing on the face of the planet, think about it. A young boy or girl is rejected by their family, they hit rock bottom, a ministry picks them up off the the street, they start going to church and make the unpardonable sin of doing what the Bible says. In no time they are reprimanded and then kicked out because they don’t fit in. That’s religious love.
Love demands an action, that’s where “suffering” enters, love must be applied. Love is defined in truth, kindness, compassion, intimacy, peace, justice etc. Our hearts yearn for Love, the Spiritual Man yearns for true intimacy with YHWH, our Neshama (spirit) must connect to the Spirit of YHWH to be satisfied and nurtured. Mashiyach helps us to take this quantum leap. Mashiyach enables us to meet “The Father”. By studying the Life of Mashiyach and responding to Him, we are able to enter into an intimate relationship with YHWH. We are created in the Image of Elohim therefore He reveals Himself in us. The Mashiyach lightens our loads. He knows exactly how our souls need to be loved and nurtured. When empty words, broken promises, or cruelty from others has left us barren or hurting, there is One Absolute Lover of our Souls who cannot deny Himself. He is the Just One, The Perfect Lamb, Mashiyach Y’shua.
Oftentimes I meet people who come into the Netzari Faith (the original teachings and lifestyle of Y’shua and Paul) and they are heartbroken that it took them so long to find the Way. They beat themselves up, why, why, why. They had Bibles right under their noses most of their lives but didn’t actually believe what they read enough to act upon it. But when they begin observing Torah, delighting in YHWH’s Name and asking Him to write Torah upon their hearts they experience a level of wholeness that overwhelms their lives with purpose and gratitude. Can you say bye, bye to false religion?
Prophetic Revelation
Apart from all the “posturing” of various religions, there are a few questions that really beg the “Mashiyach” question. If our hearts cannot make the connection with Love and through Righteousness then we need to take a cold, hard look at the facts that will almost seemingly slap us in the face. Check this out.
At the beginning of your supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show you; for you are greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Daniel 9:23-24
Who can make an end of sins?
Who can make reconciliation for iniquity?
Who can bring in everlasting righteousness?
M A S H I Y A C H
The Mashiyach personifies YHWH and Torah.
“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall,
even in troublous times.”
Daniel 9:25
The most Holy is Mashiyach. The temple was in chaos and disarray, YHWH allowed the temple in Jerusalem to be completely destroyed. The party was over, the Temple could no longer be used as a business opportunity for the corrupt religious ruling classes. By the way, you probably never knew that the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem is privately owned? The owners rake in millions of dollars every month in real estate revenues… some things never change.
“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off , but not for himself:” Daniel 9:26a
Messiah shall be cut off? Yes and Mashiyach was cut off wasn’t he? but not for himself. The Prophets clearly tell of Mashiyach Ben Yoseph, the Messiah Y’shua, who came to suffer for His people being cut off, which means they killed him.
“and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”
Daniel 9:26b-27
The Temple and Beautiful and Holy City Jerusalem was destroyed, and the sacrifices were discontinued when Titus came against Jerusalem in 70 AD. The motive was clear, “for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate.” This is PRECISELY, as history records! The Temple according to Mashiyach Himself had become a “den of thieves”. The thieves who ran the temple are the same today who speak against Y’shua as Mashiyach, they rob the people by making void the Torah by their traditions. Orthodox traditions says Y’shua is not the Mashiyach, why? The institution of Orthodox Judaism is a religion of men, as all religion is. When man deceives himself to think he owns the rights to G-d then we also begin to believe that we own things like Justice, Righteousness, Truth and Love and we fall off the path leading to HaMashiyach.
Many leaders have taken the authority upon themselves, by tradition, to discredit Mashiyach and his followers because Mashiyach’s words and actions weighed all religion and find them wanting. The Prushim (Pharisees) of ancient times evolved into the modern “Orthodoxy” that we see today, Mashiyach found not all but some of this religion to be cruel and wanting of righteousness. Yes, the same could also be said of all other religions, Christianity and all other Religions incorporate tradition as a higher calling than Mashiyach and His Torah. However, YHWH is not mocked, let Elohim be true and every man a liar. The Word of YHWH will endure forever and His Torah (Word) is from everlasting. To make light of Torah and speak against Ha Mashiyach is to find oneself in defiance of Truth and warring against the Name of YHWH, YHWH said that “vengeance belongs to Him”, and we are also told that it is a “fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living Elohim”, but many don’t have the “Fear of YHWH”.
Where might one think to find an anointing from YHWH in all of this religious balagan and stuyot? It will never happen, the fact of the matter is that rabbinical Judaism and Christianity are designed so that you will never find Mashiyach, only religious man made substitutions.
When Mashiyach Ben David appears he will establish His Universal Government. YHWH did not tolerate what was going on in the Temple in Jerusalem, it had to be terminated, he brought the Roman armies in to smash it down. Mashiyach Ben David is bringing authority and power that this world has never seen and can’t begin to imagine, to smash down religion.
Unlike Mashiyach Ben Yoseph who established Himself as the Servant King, Mashiyach Ben David will come with both Spiritual and Natural forces like the world has never witnessed, the Prophets spoke in detail about his Return. The Universe will shake from the inside, man will see the realities of his own existence and what is truly in his soul, the conscience, motive, will and spirit of each one will be revealed, man will be naked as Adam and Eve after original sin. Our covering in the Day of YHWH will be Mashiyach and His Righteousness or we will be naked and exposed. Mashiyach earnestly compelled His people to be prepared for that Day of His return, but religious folks simply take that warning and turn it into more religion.
Why are there prophecies about a Suffering Mashiyach, and why is this necessary?
Because Love was Perfected for all of us in the Sufferings of Mashiyach.
What is the reason that some people refused to recognize Y’shua as the Mashiyach?
Religion is the great distraction of entering into a relationship with YHWH and His Mashiyach, people are afraid of what is really inside of themselves and don’t want others to know who they really are, religion is the easy and popular cover-up. Religion is Hollywood where people act like someone they are not to become accepted into a peer group. Yochanan wrote, “For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.”
Why did Yoseph’s brothers in Egypt not recognize him?
He looked like an Egyptian in an Egyptian setting, Yeshua has been made to look like a pagan and a Gentile in a Gentile setting, His own People can’t recognize Him. “Jesus Christ” is an image of man’s theologies, the opposite values of the image of YHWH and His Word.
Why is it so difficult for people today to observe the Words of Mashiyach, and Torah?
“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and YHWH has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” We are tribal social beings who want to be loved and appreciated, even if it costs us not being true to ourselves and what our spiritual consciousness tells us about our calling in Mashiyach. We all have a propensity to do what is right in our own eyes, and when a person walks in Truth they are quickly persecuted by those who feel judged or condemned by the actions of one righteous soul. Ever heard yourself or others say the “holier than thou” cliché or the “so heavenly minded that he’s no earthly good” cliché. Religious people live under “the fear” of the cliché being used against them, or the “legalist” cliché, or the “Judaiser” cliché or the “anointing” cliché.
Why does the world have to suffer so much, if Mashiyach has already come?
Tell me why did Israel suffer when Moshe was their leader? We each have the free choice to do what is right or not. Suffering often comes about in our lives by willful ignorance and premeditated rebellion and generational curses that have come through violating Torah. Noah’s flood and Sodom and Gomorrah are a couple examples, the same things are happening today in your local Churches. Wealthy countries have built their wealth on slavery, murder, bribery, stealing resources from poor countries, lies, manipulation, greed etc, the wealthy nations have no Justice and they offer no Justice. Nations where thousands of children die each day have abandoned YHWH and Torah, their leadership is short sighted and self serving, they have plenty resources and abilities but refuse to seek the common good of people. We suffer greatly when we choose to rebel against The Word of YHWH that is revealed in Mashiyach.
Why are we on earth? What is the focal point of human existence?
Mashiyach. We are here to be made in the Image of Elohim and populate the world with Mashiyach. Mashiyach is looking for volunteers and co-laborers, not slaves. He calls us “friends” because we live within his mission and his mandate because he lives inside of us.
If Yeshua is HaMashiyach, how will this change my life?
That’s for you to experience, let me know how it’s going.
YHWH be with you,
Shalom U’Vrachot,
Baruch Ben Daniel
My prayers are with you.
