Passover NOT Easter! Apostle Paul observed Passover!

One of Satan’s biggest deceptions is to trick believers of The ELOHIM of Yisra’el into observing pagan days that are not commanded in scripture. And Passover is a huge one as they are all, but Satan has attempted to take YESHUA’s victory over death, our Salvation, and has the world worshipping and praising Easter bunnies that have nothing to do with our Savior. By doing so he wants to give the honor and esteem to anything but YHWH and YESHUA and has found a way to connect it to hardcore paganism.

 Satan has deceived the world just as it states in Revelation 12:9 that he has led the whole world astray. Most of the world is celebrating his counterfeit holidays called sabbats which means (a pagan gathering of witches) that mock the true Holy Days/SHABBAT’S or Moedim (Appointed times) set by YHWH. This great deception is confirmed when we read Daniel 7: 25:

“He (Satan) will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.”

As I repeat so often is that once you have accepted YESHUA as your Messiah and Savior and know that He is Son of YHWH, then you have become grafted in as ONE with the nation of Yisra’el. There is only ONE belief; therefore, proving that ALL believers in YHWH and His Son YESHUA should ALL be worshipping Him the same way!

Ephesians 4:4-6

“ONE BODY, and ONE RUACH (SPIRIT), as you also were called in ONE expectation of your calling; ONE ADON (Master)YESHUA, ONE BELIEF/FAITH, ONE IMMERSION/BAPTISM, ONE ELOHIM AND FATHER OF ALL who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” There is only ONE WAY and that is through YESHUA anything else is an imposter.

Galatians 3:27-29

“For as many of you as were immersed (baptized) into Messiah have put on Messiah. There is not Jew nor Greek, there is not slave nor free, there is not male and female, for you are all ONE in Messiah YESHUA. And if you are of Messiah, then you are SEED OF ABRAHAM, and heirs according the promise.”

So there is only ONE baptism and you were baptized into YESHUA and now belong to Him making you a seed of Abraham where there is no Jew nor Greek. So the question is are you doing what Abraham did? He obeyed the commandments before there ever was a Jew.

Genesis 26:5

“Because Abraham obeyed My voice and guarded My Charge: My Commands, My Laws, and My Torot (Plural form of Torah.)”

Sirach 44:19-20

“Abraham was a great father of many people; there was none like him in esteem; who KEPT THE LAW OF THE MOST HIGH, and was in Covenant with Him.”

Baruk 4:1-2

“This is the Book of the Commands of ELOHIM, and the Law that endures FOREVER; all those who guard it shall attain life, but those who leave it shall die. Turn, O Jacob, and take hold of it; walk in the presence of its LIGHT, that you may be illuminated.” How does Scripture define Light?

Proverbs 6:23

“For the Command is a Lamp and the Torah a LIGHT.”

So brothers and sisters walk in the light of the Torah and be illuminated by its light that leads to life. YESHUA is the written Word that became living flesh and His Light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it. That is why Baruk says those who leave it shall die, because without YESHUA who is the Living Torah you will not attain life.  Observing Passover is a good way to begin knowing who He is and what He has done for us. So I’ll explain the origin of Easter, why you should choose Passover, YESHUA’s connection with the lamb in the Old Testament, when Passover is, what we should eat, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

What does Easter represent?

In the book titled “The Ultimate Spiritual Detoxification Guide: Cleansing Your Spirit of The Impurities of Learned Traditions and Behavior”, I explain from research the origin of Easter, which can be downloaded as a free PDF by clicking the “Free Store” link. Easter or Ishtar, also known as Semiramis and later called the “Queen of heaven” was the widow of Nimrod and mother of Tammuz. Easter is the bare breasted pagan fertility goddess of the east. Legend has it that she came out of heaven in a giant egg, landing in the Euphrates River at sunrise on the first Sunday after the vernal equinox, busted out, and turned a bird into an egg laying rabbit.”

“To honor this event, pagan sun-worshippers would go out early in the morning and face to the east to watch their sun-god arise over the horizon before having mass (sacrifice) in which the priest of Easter would sacrifice three month old human infants and take the eggs of Easter and dip them in the blood of the sacrificed infants. The blood-red colored Easter eggs would later hatch on December 25th, the same day her son Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14) would be born.” Which shows the pagan connection of Xmas and who really was born on that day.

 Christianity is doing nothing more than recreating pagan rituals rebranded in the name of Christianity and say they are doing it for YESHUA and you can’t do it. Now we can see why on Easter they have the egg hunt why they color the eggs, because it is a representation of the three month children they sacrificed and dipped the eggs in their blood. No one should ever look at these pagan eggs the same way after that!

Jubilees 1:9-10

“For they shall forget all My Commands, even all that I command them, and they shall walk after the gentiles (Easter is an example of that), and after their uncleanness, and after their shame, and shall serve their mighty ones. And these shall come to be an offence to them and a tribulation and an affliction and a snare. And many shall perish and they shall be taken captive, and shall fall into the hands of the enemy, because they have forsaken My Laws and My Commands, and the Festivals of My Covenant (Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread etc) and My  Sabbaths, and My Holy Place which I have sanctified for Myself in their midst….” Verse 14 “And they shall forget all My Torah and My Commands and all My Right-Rulings, and shall go astray as to NEW MOONS, and SABBATHS, and FESTIVALS, and Jubilees, and Laws.”

 YHWH says they forgot His New Moons, Sabbaths, and Festivals, which is why Paul says this:

 Colossians 2:16-17

“Let no one therefore judge you in eating and or in drinking, or in respect of a Festival or a NEW MOON OR SABBATH-which are a shadow of what is to come...” 

Meaning that YHWH expects us to observe these days. The Hebrew word for Holy Convocation is “Mikraw” which literally means a rehearsal. We are to be observing these days NOW because it will be too late when YESHUA returns: therefore, don’t let anyone judge you for knowing the TRUTH! The prophecy in Zechariah 14 is a great example of this because during the 1,000 reign, that ALL nations must come to celebrate The Feast of Tabernacles or have no rain, even the Egyptian, because it is a SHADOW of what is to come, which means that same concept applies to Passover!

Choose Passover/Pesach (Pronounced PAY-SOCK)!

Mathew 26:2 says:

“As you know, the PASSOVER is two days away and the Son of Man (YESHUA) will be handed over to be crucified.”

What is Passover? Passover is when YHWH brought the final plague upon the Egyptians because Pharaoh would not let His people go. YHWH commanded the Israelites to take a bunch of hyssop and dip in the basin with the perfect blood of lamb and strike the lentil and the two doorposts of the house so that YHWH would “Pass Over” their homes and execute judgment on the Egyptians. This event was a foreshadowing of the true perfect sacrificial lamb in YESHUA, whose perfect blood was poured out for us. The same way the perfect blood of the lamb saved Yisra’el when YHWH PASSED OVER them, is the same way when we have the perfect blood of YESHUA in our lives that sin and death PASS OVER us!

John 1:29

“On the next day John saw YESHUA coming toward him, and said, “See, the LAMB of YHWH who takes away the sin of the world!”

Exodus 12:5

“Let the LAMB be a perfect one, a year old male.” Verse 12 “And I shall pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and shall smite the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And on all the mighty ones of Egypt I shall execute judgment. I am YHWH. And the BLOOD shall be a SIGN for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the BLOOD, I shall PASS OVER you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt.”

YESHUA is also described as the Lamb in the Book of Revelation saying:

Revelation 12:11

“And they overcame him because of the Blood of the LAMB because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

Revelation 13:8

“And all those dwelling on the earth, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the slain LAMB, from the foundation of the world shall worship Him.”

Revelation 22:1 “And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of YHWH and of the LAMB.”

Another connection with YESHUA from the Old Covenant and the Renewed Covenant is:

Exodus 12:46

“It is eaten in one house, you are not to take any of the flesh (lamb) outside the house, NOR are you to BREAK ANY BONE OF IT.”

John 19:31

“The Jews asked Pilate to have THEIR LEGS BROKEN, and to be taken away. Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was impaled with Him, but when they came to YESHUA and saw that He was already dead, they DID NOT BREAK HIS LEGS.”  But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and instantly BLOOD and WATER came out. And he was has seen has witnessed, and his witness is true. And he knows that he is speaking the truth, in order that you might believe. For this took place in order for the Scripture to be filled: “NOT ONE OF HIS BONES SHALL BE BROKEN.” See the connection and how it fulfills what YHWH spoke In Exodus 12:46?

Also in John 19:34 when YESHUA was pierced blood and water came out of Him. This reminds me of:

1 John 5:5-6

“Who is the one who overcomes the world but he who believes that YESHUA is the Son of YHWH? This is the One that came by WATER AND BLOOD: YESHUA ha’Mashiach, not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Ruach (Spirit) who bears witness, because the Ruach is the Truth.” (The immersion/baptism and atonement on the stake.)

YESHUA and Paul both observed Passover!

Exodus 12:14 says:

“And this day shall be unto you for a memorial: and you shall keep it a feast to YHWH throughout your generations; you shall keep it a feast by a LAW forever.”

If you notice, YHWH tells us to keep the Passover Feast throughout our generations forever. This holds true because YESHUA celebrated Passover with His disciples just as His Father commanded.

Mathew 26:18-19 says:

“And He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand: I WILL KEEP THE PASSOVER at your house with My disciples.” And the disciples did as YESHUA had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover.”

Verse 29 is absolutely beautiful! YESHUA reveals something that a lot of people may miss after reading the passage. He says the following:

“But I say unto you, I will not drink the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

YESHUA just confirmed the words of Father YHWH in Exodus 12:14 that the Passover is to be kept forever; and YESHUA tells us that we will celebrate the Passover with Him when He drinks the fruit of the vine with us in His Father’s Kingdom, HalleluYAH! So, as believers we need to begin celebrating the true feast of Passover and not the counterfeit holiday of Easter.

 The problem is that Christianity through the lies of the enemy has been working hard to remove the Hebraic roots of our faith and westernize it. It baffles me because YESHUA was a Jew, which is ONE of the 12 Tribes of Yisra’el, and He spoke Aramaic/Hebrew, so it is impossible to remove the Hebraic roots of our faith.

A perfect example of this is how they call Passover “The Last Supper” as if it was just some dinner YESHUA ate before He gave Himself for us. Christianity believes that calling it Passover would mean that they acknowledge the Hebraic Roots and that they would have to actually observe Passover and not Easter. I encourage anyone to search through the Scriptures and tell me one time where Easter replaced Passover? Because even Paul observed Passover! The same Paul who Christianity says did away with the law.

1 Corinthians 5:7-8

“Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also MESSIAH our PASSOVER was offered for US. So then LET US OBSERVE THE FESTIVAL (PASSOVER) not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

Not only did Paul remember that YESHUA is our Passover Lamb, but also told the assembly of Corinth to Observe the Festival of Passover which means Paul observed it and told the non-native born Corinthians to do the same, showing that we ALL should doing as they did.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

“For I received from the Adon pronounced Ah-doan (Master) that which I also delivered to you: that the Adon YESHUA in the night in which He was delivered up took bread, and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat, this is My body which is broken for you; DO THIS IN REMEMBERANCE OF ME.” In the same way also the cup, after supper; saying, “This cup is the Renewed Covenant in My blood. As often as you drink it, DO THIS IN REMEMBERANCE OF ME.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup (Passover), you PROCLAIM THE DEATH OF THE ADON UNTIL HE COMES.”

So we see the importance of the blood of YESHUA saving us from sin and death and the bread representing His body that was broken for us and blood of the Renewed Covenant! Then Paul adds that we are proclaiming the death of YESHUA until He returns! So if we are doing this in REMEMBERANCE of YESHUA then He will be looking from heaven to see if we are REMEMBERING TO KEEP PASSOVER! I know Christianity has their own “tradition of men” called communion to remember what YESHUA did, but we have to understand that YHWH commands us to do it on a certain day once a year. Which is why He gave us Holy Days in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16 and called “Appointed Times” and “Sabbaths”. They are Appointments that YHWH and YESHUA want to meet with Their people.

Think of it this way: If a doctor says “come back and see me in two weeks and make the appointment with the receptionist” that means you have an appointment to meet him on a certain day. If you decide to show up a month later, then that means you have missed the appointment and cannot receive treatment. The same thing applies in the spiritual realm and the Covenant we are supposed to be walking in with ELOHIM to receive spiritual blessings!

And Even Josiah in the Book of Kings when he and the priest discovered The Book of The Law they celebrated it because IT IS WRITTEN! 2 Kings 23:21-23 says:

And the sovereign (Josiah) commanded all the people, saying, “Prepare the Pesach (Passover) to YHWH your Elohim, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.” For such a Passover had not been prepared since the days of the rulers who ruled Israel, nor in all the days of the sovereigns of Israel and the sovereigns of Judah.”

What does YESHUA rising on Sunday prove?

YESHUA not rising until Sunday further proves that while He was in the Tomb He rested on the 7th Day, honoring the Sabbath Day command to rest. Furthermore, that Sabbath that He was in the tomb was a “High Sabbath” meaning that it was the 1st Day of The Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is another holy day where NO WORK is commanded! So it was a Sabbath within a Sabbath and YESHUA rested and honored both. YHWH did not raise Him up until both Sabbath rests were completed! ELOHIM is awesome!

John 19:31

“Therefore, since it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the stake on the Sabbath-for that Sabbath was A HIGH ONE (1st Day of Feast of Unleavened Bread…)

Is this matter and the words commanded in Torah that serious?

Yes! When Josiah rediscovered the Torah in The House of YHWH he said in 2 Kings 22:13

“Go inquire of YHWH for me, for the people and for all of Judah, concerning the words of this Book that has been found. For great is the wrath of YHWH that is kindled against us, because our ancestors have not obeyed the words of this Book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.”

When is Passover this year?

Passover this year is on April 7th when the sun is about to completely go down (twilight/between the evenings), but before it completely sets. The meal is eaten in haste because the Israelites fled Egypt in haste. And a way to remember what happened with the Exodus out of Egypt is by retelling the event with Scripture and having the entire family join in.

What are we supposed to eat?

Exodus 12:8-11

“And they shall eat the flesh (Lamb) on that night, ROASTED IN FIRE-with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.” Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but ROASTED IN FIRE, its legs and its inward parts. And do not leave of it until morning you are to burn with fire. And this is how you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Pesach (Passover) of YHWH.

YHWH tell us to eat lamb roasted in fire (like a grill with actual charcoal and flames) unleavened bread (bread with no yeast or no baking soda etc.) and bitter herbs.

1 Esdras 1:11-12

“And according to the nobility of the ancestors before the people, to offer to YHWH, as it is written in the Book of Moses (Torah). And thus they did in the morning, and they ROASTED THE PESACH (PASSOVER) WITH FIRE, AS REQUIRED.”

Of course we are in diaspora right now, scattered to the four corners of the earth because of our ancestor’s disobedience. Meaning we aren’t in Jerusalem and there is no Temple; however, we can do ALL that we can to follow the commandments and requirements to the best of your ability. If you can get a staff to eat with the meal then why not? If you can get a whole lamb then that’s great! If, not get some lamb steaks, just make sure you are eating lamb roasted in fire as required. But remember that NONE of the meat can be kept and must be burned with fire by the morning.

Exodus 12:22

“And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin, and you, NONE OF YOU SHALL GO OUT OF THE DOOR OF HIS HOUSE UNTIL MORNING.”

As I always say we should follow the Scriptures as closely as we can, so if you are at home stay in the house and don’t go out until morning and likewise if you are staying with family or friends stay in the house until morning to fulfill the command

Right after Passover is The Feast of Unleavened Bread!

Acts 20:6-7

“And we sailed away from Philippos after the Days of Matzah (Feast of Unleavened Bread) and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days. And on one of the Sabbaths, the disciples having gathered together to break bread, Paul, intending to depart the next day, was reasoning with them and was extending the Word till midnight.”

Just pointing out that Paul himself was with the group observing The Feast of Unleavened Bread and we see that they did not even sail until AFTER the Feast was completed.

April 8th-14th is The Feast of Unleavened Bread (7 days) and DO NOT EAT LEAVENED bread starting on Passover the 7th. The 1st and 7th Days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread are NO WORK DAYS, so that means do not work on April 8th or April 14th, 2020. I will explain more at the end.

YHWH tells us this in Exodus 12:14-20 saying:

“This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to YHWH---a LASTING LAW. For seven days you are to eat bread made without leaven. On the first day remove the leaven from your houses (April 8th), for whoever eats anything with leaven in it from the first day through the seventh day must be cut off from Israel. On the FIRST day (APRIL 8TH) hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the SEVENTH DAY (APRIL 14TH.) Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat---that is all you may do.”

YHWH also commands us to remove ALL leaven from our homes on the 1st Day of the Feast (April 8th). So we are not to leave our homes starting April 7th until the dawn or sunrise the next morning on the 8th to throw away the leaven. The definition of leaven is described below titled “What is leaven?”

“Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting law for the generations to come. In the first, you are to eat bread made without leaven, from the evening of the fourteenth day (Passover) until the evening of the twenty-first day. (As stated above DO NOT EAT LEAVEN ON PASSOVER THE EVENING OF THE 7TH.) For seven days no leaven is to be found in your homes. And whoever eats anything with leaven in it must be cut off from the community of Yisra’el, whether he is an ALIEN OR NATIVE-BORN. Eat nothing made with leaven. Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread.”

What is leaven?

Leaven or (Se’or in Hebrew) are leavening agents that cause dough to rise such as:

 (Yeast, baking powder, baking soda, sodium bicarbonate, horn salt etc.)

When leavening agents are combined with flour it becomes Chametz (Ha-mets) which is baked bread that has risen due to the leavening agents. We are to dispose of any Chametz that you have made yourself or any store bought baked breads, cakes, cake mixes containing leavening agents, also beware of matzah ball soup mixes because they contain sodium bicarbonate which is a leavening agent that we should not be eating during this feast.

Also, all of the leavening agents must be thrown away too and to be found NOWHERE in your homes. And do not give the chametz or the leavening agents to a neighbor to get them back afterwards. Throw them away as He commanded and He will provide the provisions for being obedient as always.

None of these items are supposed to even be seen anywhere on our property. We are to eat Matzah, which is called unleavened bread, for seven days which does not contain anything to make the dough rise. Simply flour, water, and maybe oil is all that is required to make unleavened bread.

Wine is popular to drink on Passover, though I would opt for grape juice as the fruit of the vine, because most wine contains yeast or a leavening agent during the fermentation process, which would break the command of no leavening agent. So if you can find a wine that doesn’t break the command then you should have no problems, otherwise I would drink grape juice.

1st Command Have no other gods before Me: (Sunday, Sports, Movies, cell phone)

Exodus 20:2-3

“I am YHWH your ELOHIM, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You have no other mighty ones against My face (have no other god before Me.)”

Psalms 106:19-20

“They made a calf in Horeb, and bowed down to a molded image. Thus they changed My esteem into the form of an ox that eats grass.”

The world today has forsaken YHWH for modern day golden calves in the form of sun worship (Sunday) to sports, entertainment, cell phones, movies, Facebook, video games, and pagan holidays not found in the Bible. First, I will cover sun worship that the world has been deceived into following, then in the latter portion of this article I’ll discuss sports, movies, and how it is a form of spiritual idolatry.

The world has disregarded the commandments of YHWH for the commands of Satan:

Isaiah 24:5

“For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot (Plural form of Torah), changed the Law, broken the everlasting Covenant.”

Daniel 7:25

“And it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the saints of the Most High, and it intends to change the Appointed Times and LAW…). And this has already happened!

You can’t know YESHUA without observing The Appointed Times since they ALL point to Him!

If any believer thinks the Holy Days of YHWH are not important and apply to the Jews only; then I would like to say that I have proven from Scripture alone that Abel, Noah, and Abraham all kept the commandments before there ever was a Jew, which proves the Torah and Commands are eternal, they always existed. Rejection of His day’s means you cannot see the work YESHUA did for us and secondly the days that YHWH and YESHUA want to meet with us are called APPOINTED TIMES (Think of appointments).

And take a look YHWH’s plan and importance of this during creation in Genesis 1:14

“And ELOHIM, said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and APPOINTED TIMES, and for days and years…”

Sirach 43:6

“He made the moon ALSO to serve in its season for APPOINTED TIMES, and a sign for the world. From the moon is the SIGN OF FEASTS…” and Sirach 33:9 “And He turns seasons and Feasts. Some of them He has made High Days (1st and 7th day of Feast of Unleavened Bread for example are holy high days of no work), and sanctified them, and some of them He has made regular days.”

So YHWH gave us the Sun and moon to be for APPOINTED TIMES, signs, days, and years. So what are YHWH’s APPOINTED TIMES?

Leviticus 23:1-5

“And YHWH spoke to Moses saying, “Speak to the children of Yisra’el, and say to them, ‘The APPOINTED TIMES of YHWH, which you are to proclaim as holy gatherings, MY APPOINTED TIMES ARE THESE: Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a holy gathering. You DO NO WORK, it is a Sabbath to YHWH in all your dwellings. These are the APPOINTED TIMES of YHWH, holy gatherings which you are to proclaim at their APPOINTED TIMES (The Sabbath is every Saturday in its Appointed Time).  In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, is the Pesach (Passover) to YHWH.” And on the fifteenth day of this month is the Festival of Matzah (Feast of Unleavened Bread)-seven days you eat unleavened bread…”

Then the rest of that chapter YHWH lists the rest of His Appointed Times that Satan has gotten the world to reject. The others are Shavuot aka Pentecost, Yom Teruah aka Trumpets, Yom Kippur aka The Day of Atonement, Sukkot aka The Feast of Tabernacles, and the 8th Day Closing Assembly or the Last Great Day.

So, now we see that prophesy in Daniel 7:25 has already being worked out in modern day Christianity: “And it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the saints of the Most High, and it intends to change the Appointed Times and LAW.” And by rejecting the Torah believers are rejecting YESHUA at the same time since He is the written Word that became Living Flesh. Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old called the Devil and Satan, who leads ALL THE WORLD ASTRAY.”

Galatians 3:27-29

“For as many of you as were immersed (baptized) into Messiah have put on Messiah. There is not Jew nor Greek, there is not slave nor free, there is not male and female, for you are all ONE in Messiah YESHUA. And if you are of Messiah, then you are SEED OF ABRAHAM, and heirs according the promise.”

So there is only ONE baptism and you were baptized into YESHUA and now belong to Him making you a seed of Abraham where there is no Jew nor Greek. So the question is are you doing what Abraham did? He obeyed the commandments before there ever was a Jew.

Genesis 26:5

“Because Abraham obeyed My voice and guarded My Charge: My Commands, My Laws, and My Torot (Plural form of Torah.)”

Sirach 44:19-20

“Abraham was a great father of many people; there was none like him in esteem; who KEPT THE LAW OF THE MOST HIGH, and was in Covenant with Him.”

YHWH knew this would happen: Isaiah 46:10

“Declaring the end from the beginning, and from of old that which has not been done, saying, ‘My counsel stands, and all My delight I do.”

When you don’t follow the commands of YHWH and walk in truth following YESHUA then that means you have accepted the way of the enemy, which means the worship of a mighty one that is NOT YHWH; therefore breaking the 1st Commandment. YESHUA scolded the assembly of Laodicea for being lukewarm trying to straddle the fence. ELOHIM wants ALL of you, not the one who has one foot serving YHWH and the other serving the enemy. Now are will list some other examples of believers are not putting YHWH first below.

So what does YHWH think of those who worship the sun and have we been lied to?

I will be going over in detail about the Sabbath Day when covering the fourth commandment, but this correlates with having no other mighty one before YHWH, because it has to do with worship of another that is not Him! It has to do with worshiping the sun deity and standing behind the sun deity is Satan.

Deuteronomy 4:19

“And lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and shall see the SUN, and the moon, and the stars-all of the host of the heavens and you be drawn away into bowing down to them and serving them…” Those who have rejected the Sabbath Day have bowed before the sun in the spiritual realm and in their hearts. 

Ezekiel 8:16

“And He brought me into the inner court of the House of YHWH. And there, at the door of the Heykal (Temple) of YHWH, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the Temple of YHWH and their faces toward the east, and they were bowing themselves eastward to the SUN.”

2 Esdras 6:45-46

“On the fourth day You commanded that the sun should shine, and the moon give its light, and the stars should be in order; and commanded them to DO SERVICE TO MAN, who was to be made.”

Notice how the sun, moon, and stars were created to serve mankind? Yet, mankind is serving and worshiping what was created to serve us? Every culture worships the sun, which is worship of the creation instead of the Creator. Satan through his deceptions and indoctrinating children in schools has made the sun the focus of creation. And he accomplished this by getting the scientist and many others to lie and say that the earth revolves around the sun. But we know in Scripture that the sun is the one doing the moving and NOT the earth. Why because the earth is fixed on pillars and does not move:

Job 9:6

“Who shakes the earth out of its place, and it’s COLUMNS/PILLARS TREMBLE…

1 Samuel 2:8

“For the SUPPORTS of the earth belong to YHWH, and He HAS PUT THE WORLD UPON THEM.” YHWH put the earth upon the supports of the earth and Job says that they supports/columns/pillars tremble!

Proof the sun moves!

Joshua 10:12-13

“Then Joshua spoke to YHWH in the day when YHWH gave the Amorites over to the children of Yisra’el, and he said before the eyes of Yisra’el, “SUN, STAND STILL over Gib’on; and MOON, in the valley of Ayalon.” So the SUN STOOD STILL AND THE MOON STOPPED.” So if the sun is stationary and the earth revolves around it according to scientist, then why did the sun stand still and the moon stop?

Job 9:7

“Who commands the SUN, AND IT DOES NOT RISE; and He seals up the stars.” So we see here in Job that YHWH can command the sun to rise or sit still just as He did with Joshua.

Sirach 26:16

“As the SUN WHEN IT RISES high in the heavens…” And 43:2 “The sun when it appears, showing a marvelous instrument as ITS RISING.”

Sirach 48:22-23

“As Isaiah the prophet, who was great and trustworthy in his vision, had commanded him. In his time the SUN WENT BACKWARD…”

 We were taught the exact opposite in school weren’t we? The sun is moving, it is not sitting stationary. I pray this opens your eyes to the deception and lies of making the sun the focus as many have been led astray to worship it either directly or choosing the wrong day of worship.

The Sabbath Day is the FOURTH COMMANDMENT but has been rejected by most of the world for Sun worship on Sun-day. So this makes sense that the sun, moon, and stars were created on the FOURTH DAY and that the plagues in Revelation at the sound of the FOURTH TRUMPET and the FOURTH BOWL of wrath both affects the SUN, moon, and stars. Since the world has trusted and worshiped the Sun, moon, and stars and rejected YHWH then then they will be affected by them. . Remember YHWH says in Exodus 20:5 “For I, YHWH your ELOHIM, am a jealous EL (God), visiting the wickedness of the ancestors on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me.”

The result of sun worship

Revelation 8:12

‘And the fourth messenger (angel) sounded, and a third of the SUN, was struck, and third of the MOON, and a third of the STARS, so that a third of them were darkened. And a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.”

Revelation 16:8-9

“And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the SUN, and it was given to him to burn men with fire. And men were burned with great heat, and they blasphemed the Name of YHWH who possesses authority over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give Him esteem.”

All of these pagan holidays including Sunday worship (Xmas, Easter, mother’s day, father’s day etc.) all have ties to sun worship, so since the world wants to continue worshiping them, this is what YHWH says:

Judges 10:14

“Go and cry out to the mighty ones which you have chosen, let them save you in your time of distress.”

Entertainment is put before YHWH

Satan has the whole world distracted with all kinds of entertainment from sports, music, movies, porn, reality TV, cars, and others serve their bank accounts. Others play video games all day on their phone or entertainment system, others live on Facebook and share their life every two minutes making them live on the app. This is idle time that should be used to read Scripture and get to know your Creator. All of these are idols that you are putting before your ELOHIM. You must remove them ASAP so you can focus on YESHUA The Way, The Truth, and The Life Who is the only One that can save you. Trust me, when judgment comes NONE of this entertainment will mean anything to anyone.

 Satan loves this, because people can stay up all day and night watching their favorite show, all of their sports, or be on their cell phones being entertained for countless hours, but when it comes time to reading the Bible they fall asleep in 5 minutes. Why? Because this is spiritual warfare as Paul spoke of in Ephesians 6! Satan doesn’t care if you spend your time on his vices that lead to DEATH, but will try to prevent you from getting close to YESHUA that leads to LIFE! It is said that if you give the public food and entertainment then you can control them and they will be in a coma to what’s going on around them.

Examining sports

Sports is a distraction set up by the pagan nations (using Greeks during the time of the Maccabees). The Book of Maccabees goes into great detail about how sports was never intended for YHWH’s people. But as usual Yisra’el self-assimilated meaning they wanted to be like the pagan nations around them. (I have discussed this topic in an earlier article titled “Sports a demonic distraction.”)

Maccabees 1:12-15 says something shocking

“The proposal was agreeable; some from among the Jewish people promptly went to the king, and he authorized them to introduce the way of living of the Gentiles. Thereupon they built a gymnasium in Jerusalem according to the Gentile custom. They covered over the mark of their circumcision and abandoned the holy covenant; they allied themselves with the Gentiles and sold themselves into wrong doing.”

Maccabees 4:18

“Now when the sovereign was present at the quadrennial games that was held at Tsor…”

What are quadrennial games?

Quadrennial games is defined as the Olympics which includes all sports from basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, swimming, world cup, lacrosse, rugby, winter Olympics, yachting, putt-putt, volleyball, water polo, cricket, and youth games to name a few.

It’s interesting to note that the Book of Maccabees explains the Greek and Roman origin of sports and how it’s a gentile custom that the people of Yisra’el have learned just like the pagan holidays. And I remember years ago when I WAS still watching sports, there being a Super Bowl ad that had Peyton Manning and John Malkovich promoting the game in the Roman Coliseum in the background and another commercial had Beyoncé, Brittany Spears, and Pink dressed up as gladiators with spears and shields going into the Roman coliseum as if they were going to fight, then they start singing “We will rock you” as the crowd goes wild. The powers that be behind the sports world was paying homage to the Greek and roman culture for the games and believers missed the message in plain sight. Which further proves that the people of YHWH should have no involvement.  

Satan is not going to make you worship him directly, so he has set up distractions to make you do it indirectly, because the further away from our Creator YHWH he can get you is a win for him.

How much time are you spending be entertained?

Joshua 1:8

“Do not let this Book of the Torah depart from your mouth, but you shall MEDITATE ON IT DAY AND NIGHT, so that you guard to do according to all that is written I it. For then you shall make your way prosperous and act wisely.”

How can you meditate on YHWH’s Word and keep the commandments if all of your time is spent being entertained? Sports fanatics will watch football for example on Sunday all day for 10-12 hours from kickoff to the final game, Monday night football for another 3-4 hours, Thursday night football, for another 3-4 hours, then College football on Saturday (breaking the Sabbath) all day for another 10-12 hours. That equates to more than 24 hours of sports not including basketball or any other sports (quadrennial games). Then that same believer will spend an hour in church then go home and watch more sports. So on average that would be 23 hours of sports and 1 hour to our Messiah YESHUA, which would be defined as idolatry. You have given sports ALL of your time and have neglected serving YESHUA, reading your Scriptures, and figuring out what your gift is in the Body of Messiah, and using them for His Kingdom.

Ephesians 4:11-12 which says

“And He Himself gave some as emissaries (person sent on special mission/minister, some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as shepherds and teachers for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of service to a building up of the Body of ha’Mashiach”

You don’t have to physically bow down before something in order to make it your mighty One. If YESHUA were to come while you were at a sporting event do you think you will be found blameless before Him? Or do you think He would say, why weren’t you using this time to pray, to read, to proclaim My Name to the lost, was this a proper way to spend your time? Or did you put the modern day gladiators above Me? These are serious questions to ask yourselves!

Also sports teams and athletes are idolized to the point of worship as fans wear jerseys of their favorite players, put posters on their walls, wear team apparel from head to toe, paint team logos on their cars, collecting Jordan shoes like a shrine and have flags on their homes. Yet, YHWH says wear tassels/fringes/tsitsit that gets rejected! The world will idolize a player by following him through college, tracking his position all the way up through the draft, they can tell you what school he attended, what his 40 time was, what is major was and what team wants to draft him. They know more about a human than about YHWH’s Word. None of these athletes can save any of us, only YESHUA can! People will even go as far as to say “that is my idol!” Even the TV shows “American IDOL” What have you just done? Broken the 1st Commandment!

Eye opener for me!

I remember years ago when I used to watch sports as a big-time Redskins fan, I was at the training camp when Robert Griffin was labeled as “The Savior” for the Redskin fan-base after so many mediocre seasons, and we know the only SAVIOR IS YESHUA and as Titus 2:11 says “For the SAVING GIFT of YHWH has appeared to all men.”

 As Robert Griffin was walking across the field a young child was screaming RG3’s name out loudly for him to come over and sign his football. He was screaming at the top of his lungs like nothing else in the world mattered, as if RG3 was bigger than life. Seconds later the man standing behind me said “Watching RG3 walking across the field is like watching Jesus Christ walk across the field.” This man turned out to be the child’s dad! I knew immediately from that point on that something was seriously wrong. Parents are supposed to teach their children the way to go and bring them up in the Word of YHWH as commanded in Deuteronomy 6:4-9, and worshiping a man is not the way to do it.

Watching sports is lust of the eyes because we are entertained when we watch it. The fan has a strong lust or desire to watch their teams play and celebrate it with great pomp (Super Bowls, Championships etc.) Does the world love sports? Yes! 1 John 2:15-16

“Do not love the world nor that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is NOT in him. Because all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the yes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is out the world.”

Bragging rights, championship rings, the hall of fame with busts of all the players, even bragging about clothes, how many pair of Jordan’s you own, money, or even the expensive car you drive are all the pride of life.

James 4:4

“Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with ELOHIM? Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of ELOHIM.”

Sports is of this world and the scripture from the Book of Maccabees is further evidence, because sports is not for followers of YESHUA!  It is hard for people to let sports go because they love it so much and I’ve heard people especially believers in YESHUA say “They could never let sports ago because they are too attached” or “that’s the one thing I cannot let go outside of eating pork or shrimp.” Such words should never be uttered from a believer! We should never love anything on the earth that much that we cannot let it go. We were called to be set apart from the world and nothing separates us from the world when believers watch sports too! We cannot tell the difference between a believer and a non-believer anymore.

There was a news report during the time I was watching sports of a man getting beat up by a bunch of fans in Boston simply because he said that Tom Brady isn’t the greatest quarterback. Is that loving your neighbor as yourself? Roger Goodell himself said that he wanted to set Tom Brady up as a” king.” And there is only ONE KING and that is YESHUA! See those in charge of sports know what they are doing by making these guys bigger than life and even on the same pedestal as YESHUA. Wake-up and realize the deception and do not put anyone or your time above YHWH!

Examining movies

Hollywood is orchestrated by Satan which he uses to keep us in the world and cause us to sin. The movies produced promote demons, ghosts, necromancy, greed, money, vanity, rape hatred, violence, homosexuality, adultery, fornication, abuse, just to name a few. Scripture tells us to keep your eyes from all evil, therefore we shouldn’t even be watching these abominations.

Psalm 101:3

“I will set no wicked thing before my eyes”

1 Thessalonians 5:22

“Abstain from every form of wickedness”

Legend has it that Nemi (holy wood) hunted souls for Diana with its beauty, the same way Hollywood hunts souls by deceiving believers in Messiah and other lost souls. “Nemi/Nemus” known as (holy wood) which Los Angeles is modeled after called theirs Hollywood. Hollywood is derived from the Rome’s Nemus (holy wood) which is an exact replica of what we see in Rome.

Both locations are in the middle of the groves on top of the hills. Nemi has a lake in the middle of the groves called “Diana’s mirror”. The emperors from around the world would sail into the lake of Diana’s mirror to assert themselves as “stars”. Now we can see the connection with the term “star” we hear about in America where Hollywood actors/actresses want to become “stars” and also the show “Dancing with the stars”. We have to remember that scripture says there is nothing new under the sun which is found in Ecclesiastes 1:9

“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”

They have already admitted that the movie industry models itself after Babylon. They even boldly put a huge picture of the Tower of Babel on the stage for those receiving the awards and nobody in the audience even knew what it was. Even the Oscar award is a modern representation of Egyptian deities.

Even at one of the award shows the announcer said to the crowd “You godless, sodomites!” He literally told the audience that they have forsaken YHWH for the Babylonian deities and again putting another mighty one before Him. Then he mentioned them coming to worship their gods! Which are the actors who were coming to receive their idol Oscar award. Yet, the whole audience laughed it off, however the announcers were telling the truth, which is known as “hiding the truth in plain sight” as they lead them down a path of destruction. And movies, reality TV, shows with endless amount of seasons will take up one’s time by binge watching ALL Day instead of reading Scripture. It’s just another form to take your attention away from what really matters.

1 Corinthians 10:21

“You are not able to drink the cup of the Adon (Master) and the cup of demons, you are not able to partake of the table of the Adon and of the table of demons.” Choose which side you are going to be on!

Baruk 4:7-8

“For you provoked He who made you by offering to demons, and not to ELOHIM. You have forgotten the everlasting ELOHIM, who raised you up…”

Baruk 1:17-22

“For we have sinned before YHWH, and disobeyed Him, and have not listened to the voice of YHWH our ELOHIM, to walk in the Commands that He gave us openly. Since the day that YHWH brought our ancestors out of the land of Egypt, to this PRESENT DAY, we have been disobedient to YHWH our ELOHIM, and we have been negligent, by not obeying His voice. Therefore the evils clinged to us, and the curse, which YHWH appointed by Moses His servant at the time that he brought our ancestors out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that flows with milk and honey, as it is to this day. Nevertheless we have not listened to all the words of the prophets, whom He sent to us; but every man followed the IMAGINATION OF HIS OWN WICKED HEART, to serve foreign mighty ones, and to do evil in the sight of YHWH our ELOHIM.”

Are you going to give your life to YESHUA or on these modern day gods, foreign might ones that have been mentioned in this article? Is there a distraction or some sort of entertainment that is preventing you from getting know YHWH? Are they ruling your life becoming your mighty one and breaking the first commandment? Examine your life today, repent, and cling to YESHUA because only He can save us! Pick up your execution stake and DIE TO SELF and not LIVE TO SELF, just as He did for us.

ELOHIM willing next week we will go over Passover which is coming up on the 7th of next month and then after that resume with the 10 Commandments. HalleluYAH

St Patrick’s Day and Gad the pagan deity of GOOD LUCK!

According to Allison Berry in an article titled “Happy St. Patrick’s Day! A Brief History of Leprechauns.” She writes “This small fairy is often elusive, his presence only marked by a faint hammering sound. William Allingham’s poem “The Leprechaun,” describes man’s particular fascination with this fairy as essentially driven by GREED: “Get him in sight, hold him tight, and you’re a made man.” Of course, his posts of gold provide plenty of motivation for men to seek him out, though usually the human who tries to capture a leprechaun is foiled in the end, made to look away by some invented distraction while the leprechaun escapes. But aside from the treasure he holds, spotting a leprechaun is also considered GOOD LUCK. So listen just a bit more closely while you’re hoisting a pint of GUINNESS this St. Patrick’s Day.”

In this one passage from the article covers the basis of what St. Patrick’s Day is all about GOOD LUCK, GREEDY FOR GAIN, WILD PARTIES, AND DRUNKENNES!”  Excessive drinking occurs all over the world in honor of this day when people go to bars/pubs and get drunk, parties, and other gatherings. This is nothing more than another empty tradition of man and superstitions like pinching, wearing green, and four leaf clovers, rabbit’s foot, horseshoes etc all represent good luck and to deceive the people of ELOHIM.

What pagan deity represents Good luck?

Isaiah 65:11

“But you are those who forsake YHWH, who forget My holy mountain, who prepare a table for Gad, and who fill a drink offering for Meni.”

Gad is a pagan deity of “good luck” and “fortune” which is being honored on this day. Anyone who believes in “good luck” or says “good luck” to any person is paying homage to this pagan deity. It’s no wonder the world has been deceived into believing in the four-leaf clover that represents “good luck.” Is there any coincidence to there being a leprechaun on the box of LUCKY charms? I don’t think so!

Psalms 23:5

“You spread before me a table in the face of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.”

So while YHWH prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies, the world decides to prepare a table for the pagan deity of good luck and fortune. Talking about truly forsaking and turning your back on YHWH!

What about greed and drunkenness?

Their superstition says that a leprechaun whom people search for on this day will find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Firstly, I’ve already shown scriptures in a previous broadcast about how LGBTQ has tried to steal the rainbow that surrounds the throne of YHWH, on the head of a messenger/angel in Revelation, and was used a sign/covenant that He would not flood the earth again. Now this time a pagan tradition is trying to attach itself to the holiness of YHWH with greed (pot of gold) at the end of the rainbow.

1 Corinthians 5:11

“But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone called ‘a brother,’ if he is one who fornicates, or GREEDY OF GAIN, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a DRUNKARD.”

Colossians 3:5

“Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and GREED OF GAIN, which is idolatry.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

“Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the reign of ELOHIM? Do not be deceived. Neither those who are sexual immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor GREEDY OF GAIN, NOR DRUNKARDS, nor revilers, nor swindlers shall inherit the reign of ELOHIM.”

1 Peter 4:3

“For enough of our PAST LIFETIME we have done the desire of the gentiles, having walked in indecencies, lusts, DRUNKENNES, orgies, WILD PARTIES, and abominable idolatries…”

Ephesians 5:18 says:

“Do not get DRUNK on wine which leads to loose behavior. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”

We know heavy drinking and wild parties occurs on this day and alcohol leads to loose behavior and loose behavior leads to fornication, adultery, anger and other acts not of ELOHIM! There are angry drunks out there that  leads to wrath and anger.

James 1:14-15

“But each one is enticed when he is drawn away by his own desires and trapped. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings for death.”

1 Peter 4:7

“But the end of all has drawn near. Therefore be sober-minded, and be attentive in prayers.”

1 Peter 5:8

“Be sober, watch, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”

Saints in the Bible did not have their own day!

Nowhere in the Bible are we commanded to have any other feasts than the “Appointed times” that ELOHIM commanded us to keep each year in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16. Not one time have we been commanded to celebrate or uplift a human being like St. Patrick or St. Valentine, regardless if the stories of him converting people to Christianity are true. We do not celebrate “Abraham’s Day” or “Moses Day” or “David’s Day” when all of those righteous men of the Bible were servants of our ELOHIM. YHWH gave the world the Sabbath Day, yet that one gets rejected!

According to realtruth.org, “As with many other manmade holidays, St. Patrick’s Day is filled with pagan customs. The shamrock, green paraphernalia, and plethora of fantasies about Patrick, including his fictional function as “Patron Saint” in heaven, are simply empty traditions. Such manmade holidays were adopted as early church leaders began “laying aside the commandments of ELOHIM” to “hold the tradition of men.”

Some of these holidays are designed to make believers feel like they are honoring a Saint when in actuality it’s to cover up of the worship of a pagan deity, rebranded in the name of Christianity. But even with that said no one should ever hold a man to that kind of esteem anyway. Let’s look at scripture concerning this:

Esther 3:2-3

“And all the kings servants who were in the kings gate bowed and did obeisance to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordechai would not bow or do obeisance.” And the kings servants who were in the kings gate said to Mordechai, “Why do you disobey the kings command.”

Additions to Esther 13:11-13

“You are Adon (Master) of all, and there is none that resists You, who is YHWH! You know all, and You know, YHWH, that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any desire of esteem, that I did not bow down to proud Haman. For I could have been content for the salvation of Yisra’el to kiss the soles of his feet with kindness. But I did this, that I might not prefer the esteem of a man above the esteem of ELOHIM; neither shall I worship any but You, O ELOHIM, neither shall I do it in pride.”

Acts 10:25-26

“And it came to that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and bowed before him. But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up, I myself am also a man.”

Acts 14:13-15

“And the priest of Zeus, being in front of their city, brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, and wanted to offer with the crowds. And when the emissaries Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their garments and ran in among the crowd, crying out and saying, “Men, why are you doing this? We also are men with the same nature as you, bringing to you the Good News: to turn from these WORTHLESS MATTERS to the LIVING ELOHIM.”

I plead with the world to turn from these worthless matters to the living ELOHIM just as Paul said in Acts. The world has learned to bow down before demons and men because a man told them to do it and they would rather hold to the traditions of men instead of the commandments of YHWH.  Mordechai, Peter, Paul, and Barnanbas understood this, just as believers should as well. Worship YHWH and YESHUA and turn from the pagan deities of good luck and fortune, four leaf clovers, leprechauns, wild parties, and drunkenness.

YESHUA vs Judaism: Seder, Star of David and other traditions!

I have heard many say that you cannot believe anything from the Jews based off of this passage:

Revelation 2:9

“And the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a congregation of Satan.”

YESHUA didn’t say ALL Jews are the synagogue of Satan, He said that there are some who claim to be Jews and are NOT because they belong to Satan. This means that they would be imposters posing as something they are not. If you are not teaching what is in the Torah just like Christianity then it is not truth, so I’m referring to the Torah versus the Talmud that they follow. True followers of YESHUA stick to only what is written by the Word of YHWH and never a man. How could all Jews be the synagogue of Satan when are Messiah and Savior YESHUA was a Jew (Yahudi) from the tribe of Judah (Yahudah)? People must be careful what they say.

Once you come out of Christianity then you have to unlearn the teachings of Judaism because you accept it all as truth because are trying to get back to the Hebraic Roots of your faith and on through the Ruach ha’Kodesh (Holy Spirit) will you be led away from Christianity and Judaism to follow YESHUA who is the Way, The Truth, and The Life who is Word of YHWH not the teachings of men!

Titus 1:13-14

“This witness is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, in order for them to be sound in the belief, not paying attention to Jewish fables, and commands of men who turn from the truth.”

The teachings of Judaism, Talmud, the oral law, rabbinical Judaism teachings of the modern day Pharisees are fables that turn aside from the truth. And what is the truth?

Psalms 119:142

“Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and your TORAH is truth.”

Notice this Scripture says that the Torah is truth not the Talmud is truth? Or saved by faith alone is truth? Also, a majority of them call themselves” rabbis” in rabbinical Judaism, but what does YESHUA say about this?

Mathew 23:7-8

“And the greetings in the market-places, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ But you, do NOT be called ‘Rabbi,’ for One is your Teacher, ha’Mashiach (YESHUA), and you are all brothers.”

We are all brothers and not to be putting someone on a pedestal is if they are greater than the other. We all have different gifts and functions within the Body of Messiah and YESHUA is the Head of the Assembly. Calling themselves rabbis is trying to make themselves equal with YESHUA as a teacher, even though YESHUA clearly says call Him Rabbi only, not to a man. Yet majority of them that lead synagogues do this because they say they have earned the right after years of study.

So we see the Jewish fables are the commandments of men that teach the traditions of men from the Talmud and not the Torah turning away from the truth.  Wikipedia says “Belief that at least portions of the Oral Torah were transmitted orally from ELOHIM to Moses on Mount Sinai during the Exodus from Egypt is a fundamental tenet of faith of Orthodox Judaism, and was recognized as one of the Thirteen Principles of Faith by Maimonides.” The belief that Moses received another set of instructions orally is found nowhere in Scripture.  They are laws, statues, and legal interpretations that were not found in the Torah making heavy burdens on men that they could not bear.

Mathew 23:4

“For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders, but with their finger they do not want to move them.”

They have writings from these self-proclaimed rabbis of rabbinical Judaism on how they interpret laws and added many to them over the years (like you have to tie your left shoe first before tying the right one etc.) These writings and laws of men are held above the Torah given by YHWH. According to their tradition, the Oral Law was passed down orally in an unbroken chain from generation to generation until its contents were finally committed to writing following the destruction of the Second Temple. The Torah is truth and we see that they are teaching something completely different which is why YESHUA rebuked them when He walked the earth.

What are some strict observances of Judaism the traditions of men?

Mark 7:1-9

“And the Pharisees and some of the scribes assembled to Him, having come from Jerusalem. And seeing some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they was their hands thoroughly, holding fast THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS, and from the market-place, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many others which they have received and hold fast-the washing of cups and utensils and copper vessels and couches. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk ACCORDING TO THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS, but eat bread with unwashed hands?” And He answering, said to them, ‘Well did Isaiah prophecy concerning you hypocrites, as it has been written, ‘This people respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the COMMANDS OF MEN.” Forsaking the Command of ELOHIM, you hold fast THE TRADITON OF MEN: WASHING OF POTS AND CUPS AND MANY OTHER MATTERS.” And He said to them, ‘Well do you PUT ASIDE THE COMMAND OF ELOHIM TO GUARD YOUR TRADITION.”

As we see YESHUA rebuked them for their tradition of Judaism the modern day Pharisees that they held over YHWH’s commandments. Then being hypocrites by not honoring their mom and dad by helping them financially by saying in verse 11 “It is Korban (that is, a gift)” which is what they dedicated back to ELOHIM, giving them an excuse to hold on to their money and not help their parents and breaking the fifth commandment of YHWH for their tradition.

 The ritualistic washing of the hands before they ate each piece of bread is found NOWHERE in scripture, yet that passed it off as Law and accused YESHUA’s disciples of breaking their man-made commandment as if it’s written in the Torah. It has been said that those who hold to this tradition equate eating bread with unwashed hands to having relations with a prostitute. Mark 7:13 “nullifying the Word of ELOHIM through your TRADITION WHICH YOU HAVE HANDED DOWN. And many such-like YOU DO.” And these false traditions they held on too so much have been passed down from generation to generation just as the lies in Christianity. Someone has to break the curse.

 Paul who was a Pharisee of the strictest sect before YESHUA changed him said:

Galatians 1:13-14

“For you have heard of my FORMER behavior in JUDAISM, how intensely I persecuted the assembly of Elohim, and ravaged it. And I progressed in JUDAISM beyond many of my age in my race, being more exceedingly ardent for the TRADITIONS OF MY FATHERS.” Paul was familiar with their false traditions as he grew up a Pharisee and thought he was doing the right thing by persecuting those who believed in YESHUA! After being blinded on the road to Damascus he followed YESHUA and became the ring leader of the sect called The Way because YESHUA is The Way The Truth and the Life! From that point on it was Passover and not the traditional Seder plate (1 Corinthians 5:7-9 and 1 Corinthians 11: 2526). I’ll cover this more in the section called “Passover traditions of Judaism.”

Luke 11:37-39

“And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him, so He went in and sat down to eat. And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He did not first wash before dinner. And the Adon (Master) said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is filled with greed and wickedness.” They were giving the outward appearance of being holy to men, but the inside full of wickedness and evil.

Luke 6:1-2

“And it came to be on a Sabbath that He went through grain fields, and His disciples were plucking the heads of grain and were eating, rubbing them in the hands. And some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing what is not right to do on the Sabbath?”

Now again they were comparing YESHUA’s disciples to their oral law of Judaism, saying that plucking grain is harvesting and rubbing the grain in their hands was threshing; therefore, they considered that to be work. They added 39 prohibitions to the Sabbath making it a burden for men. Just as they do today saying you cannot use your phone to preach the gospel, you cannot turn on lights, or drive your car etc. YESHUA observed the Sabbath, He just rebuked them for their man-made, heavy burden version of it. (Luke 4:16, Mark 2:27).

Mathew 23:5

“And they do all their works to be seen by men, and they make their t’fillen wide and lengthen the fringes of their garments.”

Fringes/tassels/tsitsit are commanded in Scripture but T’fillen or phylacteries are not. These are a set of small black leather boxes that contain scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah that they literally tie on their foreheads and wrap around their arms trying to fulfill Deuteronomy 6:8 which says:

“And shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.”

So to them literally binding the commands in a small box with portions of the Torah on their head and arms would fulfill this command. YESHUA is saying they want to be seen by men to appear holy, plus this is one of those legal interpretations they came up with. YHWH is saying the Hebrew word (Resh) what are your thoughts on? (Forehead) Keeping His word before you always to meditate on it as He told Joshua in Joshua 1:8 “Do not let this Book of The Torah depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night…” And on your arm is (Yod) a picture of an arm and a hand showing your actions to fulfill his Word and do it and not just hear it.

A recent article in 2013 reveals more burdens

These are the heavy burdens that YESHUA spoke of. And in this article titled “The 16 most annoying things about keeping Kosher” by Emily Orley states these burdens that Judaism has placed on them, so I’ll list a few:

“Most kosher meals cannot have butter, so it makes eating all the more difficult when restaurants (and everyone else) secretly put butter in everything. In the end, I usually just lie about having a butter allergy.”

Judaism falsely interprets that meat and dairy cannot touch; therefore, they have these extreme measures. What does Scripture say about meat and dairy?

Genesis 18:7-8

“And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hurried to prepare it. And he took CURDS AND MILK AND THE CALF which he had prepared and put it before them, and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.” So we can clearly see in scripture that meat and dairy was served together. And who ate the meat and dairy? Verse 1-2 “And YHWH appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, while he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. So he lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw three men opposite him.”  So it was ELOHIM and two messengers or angels and we know He wouldn’t break His own Torah.

Orley then states: “In my family, you have to wait an hour after eating meat before you can have diary.” Then she says “Kosher law requires you to have separate plates and dishwashers for your milk meals and your meat meals so that the two never, ever cross. This is not cheap or space-efficient, and it makes you feel like you have double-vision. Also, if you ever mess up and put meat on a dairy plate or vice-versa, you have to bury the plate in the earth for 8 years…”

Are you starting to see the burden of these false traditions they hold that are not found in the Torah? Orley is living the life in Judaism and is calling it a burden. YESHUA’s Words are ALL truth!

What about Passover traditions of Judaism?

Exodus 12:8

“And they shall eat the flesh (lamb) on that night, roasted in fire-with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs and they shall eat it.”

YHWH commands us to eat the Passover with lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs. So why does Judaism substitute what YHWH says for a Seder plate? What is on the Seder plate of Judaism that they have for Passover:

There are at least five foods that go on the Seder plate: shank bone (zeroa), egg (beitzah), bitter herbs (maror), vegetable (karpas) and a sweet paste called haroset. Many Seder plates also have room for a sixth, hazeret (another form of the bitter herbs). Why six compartments? YHWH’s number is 7.

Why does the Seder plate contain a shank bone with NO meat when YHWH said eat the meat? Why is there an egg on the plate that represents rebirth and renewal that stems from the pagan origins of what Christianity celebrates in Easter?

Another tradition Judaism observes on Passover is holding a seat for Elijah. It is literally an empty seat and during a certain moment in the ceremony a family member will get up and open the door to let the spirit of Elijah in? But we all know that Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind in 2 Kings 2:11

“..And Elijah went up by a whirlwind in the heavens.”

Mathew 17:10-12

“And the disciples asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?” And YESHUA answering, said to them, “Elijah is indeed coming first, and shall restore all. But I say to you that Elijah has ALREADY COME, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they wanted. In this way the Son of Man is also about to suffer by them.” Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.”

So if Elijah ascended in to heaven and the Elijah that YESHUA was referring to is John the Baptist who is dead, then what spirit is being let in during the Seder? The only Spirit we need to receive is the Holy Spirit the Ruach ha’Kodesh.

Then on the Feast of Unleavened Bread that immediately follows Passover they have this tradition of what constitutes unleavened bread. YHWH says the se’or which is the leavening agent (yeast, baking soda, etc) combined with flour makes Chametz which is leavened bread. How does Judaism define chametz? According to Jerusalemcouncil.org “Chametz is any food that contains wheat, barley, oats, spelt, or rye that has been fermented. These particular grains will ferment by themselves in the presence of water. This process can begin in as little as 18 minutes.”

See how this command goes against the Word of YHWH? YHWH said no flour mixed with a leavening agent and nothing about fermentation of water! How can you make unleavened bread without the flour and water? Their tradition does not even mention leavening agents, but to remove all grains from the house. Also, nowhere in Scripture does YHWH say the process of leavening is an 18 minute window. He simply says do not eat anything with leaven in it, which is flour with a leavening agent combined.  Furthermore leavened bread, cakes, and leavening agents are not to be in your home! However, the flour by itself is fine because it contains no leavening agent and you need flour to make unleavened bread. Flour, water, and maybe oil that is it. But Judaism will have matzah ball soup that contains leaving agents like Sodium Bicarbonate in the matzah mix  that breaks the command.

What about the New Year?

Leviticus 23:24

“Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you have a rest, a remembrance of blowing of trumpets, a holy gathering.”

This Holy Day is called Yom Teruah a day of shouting or making noise, but Judaism calls it Rosh Hoshanah saying that it is the Jewish New Year in September/October. Nowhere in that Scripture does YHWH refer to the 1st day of the 7th Month of Yom Teruah as the beginning of months. How can this be when YHWH says the beginning of the month for us is in Abib when Passover was instituted? Which is the month of March/April. We cannot have TWO New Years and the one called Rosh Hoshanah is the false one.

Exodus 12:1

“And YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, “This month is the BEGINNING of months for you, it is the FIRST month of the year for you.”

So we see again that Judaism is speaking contrary to the Word of YHWH in favor of their traditions.

Chanukah bush?

Just like the pagan egg that represents Easter on the Seder plate for Passover is the same way Judaism has added another pagan element to their tradition called the Chanukah bush. Wikipedia defines it as: Hanukkah bush is a bush or tree—real or simulated—that some North American Jewish families display in their homes for the duration of Hanukkah. It may, for all intents and purposes, be a Xmas tree (without any Christian ornaments). YHWH said in Jeremiah 10:2

“Thus said YHWH, “Do not learn the way of the gentiles….” Yet they managed to go and do just that! We are called to be set apart from this world and not become a part of it by adding their traditions into true worship. However they don’t want to feel left out or the children to feel neglected by what the world does so that make their version of it. This is self-assimilation, wanting to be like the nations around us.

Commanded to light Shabbat candles?

Every Friday night at the start of Shabbat the woman of the house will light the Shabbat candles and do a blessing over it saying “Blessed are you, Adonai our God, Sovereign of all, who hallows us with mitzvot, commanding us to kindle the light of Shabbat.” This is adding to the Word of YHWH through traditions which He said not to do because NOWHERE in Scripture does He command us to light Shabbat candles. You can’t take a tradition that you added and say YHWH commanded us to do it.

Calling YESHUA son of David

Mark 12:35-37

“And YESHUA responding, said, while teaching in the Tabernacle/dwelling place, “How it that the scribes say that ha’Mashiach is the Son of David? David himself said by the Ruach ha’Kodesh, YHWH said to My Master, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet. “David himself calls Him My Master. In what way then is He his Son? And the large crowd heard Him gladly.”

YESHUA came through the line of David as YHWH promised and Revelation 22:16 “I am the Root and the Offspring of David.” We all know that YESHUA is the Son of YHWH. He does not have a human dad whether it be Joseph or David.

Star of David

: M. Hirsch Goldberg in his book The Jewish Connection states: " The Star of David is not of Jewish origin - and the ancient Israelites never used it as their religious symbol" (they used the Menorah or Seven Candlestick). So, why did the six-pointed star become known as the Jewish star? This symbol was widely adopted, not because the Jewish people chose it, but ironically because Adolph Hitler forced all Jews to wear a yellow six-pointed star during the holocaust. The word holocaust means burnt offering, and the six-pointed star was used in the past when burnt human sacrifices were offered to Moloch and Ashtoreth in Baal worship. The few Jews who had anything to do with the Six-Pointed star (hexagram) were those who were involved in occult practices. Back to Hitler, would he put anything good on a Jew? Hitler meant to insult and destroy the Jews, and being wrapped up in the occult (read the book, The Nazis and the Occult ), he may have meant the Jews to be his burnt offering for power. Today, most Jews wear this star by choice, and without thinking or checking out its origin and usage through time. Wearing the six-pointed star became a fashion. I would just like to add that this seems like what happens today, where people say and do things or celebrate holidays without bothering to check the origin behind it. You just accept it because it was handed down to you, or you’re new to the faith and except all things Jewish thinking it’s all the same. But as we can see there is a big difference. Continuing with the article:

The first mention of the six-pointed star in Israelite literature was in Amos 5:6, when YAHWEH angrily tells His people that " I hate and despise your feast days…. You shall take up Siccuth, your king and Chiun your images, the star of your God…." Siccuth (Sakkuth) and Chiun (Kaiwan) means "star" and refers to Saturn as a star, and was objects of idolatrous worship, as they were considered to be Assyrian gods. The mixed multitude that went out of Egypt with the children of Israel took the star with them. Like the obelisk, the six-pointed star was an Egyptian idol used in idolatrous worship. In 922 B.C. when Solomon married the daughter of Pharoah, he became involved in Egyptian idol worship and went into magic, and witchcraft. Solomon built an altar to Ashtoreth and Moloch, and the six-pointed star, the chief symbol of human sacrifices in magic and witchcraft circles, came to be called the Seal of Solomon.

Solomon did not heed the subsequent warnings from YAHWEH to cease from these abominable practices, even after YAHWEH threatened to rend the Kingdom of Israel from his son's hand. And indeed, the split occurred after Solomon's death. Solomon's idolatry caused the Kingdom of Israel to be split in two. The practices he introduced to the children of Israel eventually caused the House of Israel to go into exile into the Caucasus, and the House of Judah to go into captivity. It was Josiah who later destroyed this forbidden altar. Did you know that the number 666 was connected to Solomon? (1 Kings 10:14) Yes, 666 talents of gold was sent to Solomon each month by none other than the King of Tyrus. After you have read this account in the book of 1 Kings, turn to Ezekiel Chapter 28. Oh, what a tangled web was weaved, when Solomon practiced to deceive. King Solomon left many articles which proved his blatant idolatry, such as King Solomon's Mirror, King Solomon's Comb, and the six-pointed star, which became known as the Seal of Solomon in the witchcraft and occult world.

King David was Solomon's father, but he was never an idolater. He made it absolutely clear that YAHWEH Himself was his shield, not only in Psalm 3:3 but in Psalm 28:7, Psalm 119:114, and Psalm 144:2.

The book, The Six-Pointed Star, is the first and only academic work which documents the origin and historical usage of this symbol. From Egypt to Solomon, to Arab magic, and witchcraft, to Druid uses, to freemasonry, to Mayer Amschel Bauer, who in the 17th century changes his name to depict the red six-pointed star which hung on his door in Germany, and thus began the family of "Rothschild" (meaning red shield). The Rothschild family incorporated this symbol in their Court of Arms. The research traced the six-pointed star through the kabbalah, to astrology, to Hitler and his putting a yellow six-pointed star on Jews during the holocaust, to the Zionist symbol, and finally to the flag of the State of Israel and beyond.

Because this symbol is comprised of a six within a six within a six (i.e. 6 points, 6 triangles, 6 sides of the inner hexagon) the research also includes a look at the 666 prophecies in the Book of Daniel etc., regarding the "willful king" (anti-Christ) and the "mark of the Beast." Included too, is the Scriptural significance of the number seven, and the Biblical description of the real Messiah, and the seven-branched Candlestick (Menorah), which God gave to the children of Israel as an everlasting Covenant, which is also mentioned in the New Testament and the Book of the Revelation. All sources are written at the bottom of each page making it easy for readers to see and check for themselves. It is the first and only book published on the origin and history of the six-pointed star. The book contains shocking information regarding the usage of the six-pointed star and its intimidating link with mankind. Have a good read. Also, stay away from the Hasma which is a hand with “one eye on the palm.” We know what the one eye represents and that is Satan.

Stay away from Judaism with the hypocrisy and lawlessness

Luke 12:1

“Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy.”

Mathew 23:13

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the reign of the heaven before men, for you do not go in, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.”

An example of their hypocrisy is found in:

John 7: 19-23

“Did not Moses give you the Torah? Yet not one of you does the Torah! Why do you seek to Kill Me? The crowd answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You? YESHUA answered and said to them, I did one work, and you all marvel. Because of this Moses has given you the circumcision though it is not from Moses, but from the fathers and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Torah of Moses should not be broken, are you wroth with Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath?

See the hypocrisy? The Pharisees accused YESHUA of breaking the Sabbath because He healed a man’s entire body on the Sabbath, yet they would circumcise their son on the 8th day according to the Torah on the Sabbath to keep the commandment (Leviticus 12:3), what’s the difference? Their added tradition of what they viewed as work made them hypocrites of what they were doing themselves. They healed a small portion of a child’s body and YESHUA healed the entire body, yet they didn’t view their circumcision as work, but viewed YESHUA’s healing as work. They also would pull a sheep out of a pit to save the animal and YESHUA said how much more the life of a man Mathew 12.  They were also mad when YESHUA healed a woman who had been bound by Satan for 18 years, yet they would loosen their ox from the stall to get water. Follow YESHUA The Way, The Truth, and The Life only and not the commands of men!

Do souls immediately go to heaven or hell?

Last week we examined that there is a life after this one; whether it be in paradise for the righteous or fire and torment for the sinners! The next part is whether souls immediately go to heaven or hell after death. Ezra again seeks to our Father YHWH concerning this and there are multiple passages concerning what happens.

2 Esdras 7:75

“And I answered and said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, O YHWH, show this also to your servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us breathes their last, we shall be kept in rest until those days come when You will renew the creation, or whether we shall be tortured immediately?”

Firstly, do we just lie in the grave unaware? Or do our souls live on until judgment day?

Genesis 4:9-10

“And YHWH said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother? And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s guard? And He said, “What have you done? THE VOICE OF YOUR BROTHER’S BLOOD CRIES OUT TO ME FROM THE GROUND.”

Hebrews 11:4

“By belief, Abel offered to ELOHIM a greater slaughter offering than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, ELOHIM witnessing of his gifts. And through it, HAVING DIED, HE STILL SPEAKS.”

Enoch 22:3-7

“Then Raphael answered, one of the holy messengers (angels) who was with me, and said to me, “These hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the spirits of the beings of the dead should assemble there, even that all the beings of the children of men should assemble here. And these places have been made to receive them TILL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT AND TILL THEIR APPOINTED TIME, TILL THE GREAT JUDGMENT UPON THEM.” “I saw spirits of the children of men who were dead, AND THEIR VOICE WENT FORTH TO THE HEAVENS AND PETITIONED. And I asked Raphael, the messenger who was with me, and I said to him, “This spirit; who is it whose voice goes forth and petitions? And he answered me saying, “THIS IS THE SPIRIT WHICH WENT FORTH FROM ABEL, whom his brother Cain slew, and he makes his petition against him till his seed is destroyed from the face of the earth, and his seed is annihilated from amongst the seed of men.”

So we see in three passages so far that the voice of Abel petitions to heaven even though he is dead. We see that your soul lives on and you are fully aware of where you are and still cry out to YHWH. Further evidence of this:

Revelation 6:9-10

“And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the beings of those having been slain for the Word of YHWH and for the witness which they held, and they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Adonai, holy and true, until You judge and AVENGE OUR BLOOD ON THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH? These righteous souls are still speaking and crying out to YHWH and asking for revenge just as Abel did.

2 Esdras 15:7-8

“Therefore,” says YHWH, “I shall hold My tongue no more in regard to their wickedness, which they do evilly, nether shall I tolerate them in that which they wickedly engage themselves, see, THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT AND RIGHTEOUS CRIES OUT TO ME, and the beings of the righteous protest continually.”

As we can see from these Scriptures that when you die it is not the end, but merely the beginning. Now the Book of Esdras goes into greater detail about what happens and I can say that those who gave their life to Satan or those who did not live for YESHUA will know IMMEDIATELY where they stand before the judgment, so that person will have a LONG time to think about it. Those who gave up their life for fame and fortune will know that Satan lied to them immediately as also those who said “The Law is done away with!” The deception will finally sink in but it will be too late!

Life after death for the unrighteous

2 Esdras 7:78-87

“And concerning death, the teaching is: when the decisive decree goes forth from the Most High, that one shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return to Him again who gave it, first of all it adorns the esteem of the Most High. If it is one of those who has mocked and NOT GUARDED THE WAY OF THE MOST HIGH, WHO HAS DESPISED HIS LAW and hated those who revere ELOHIM; such spirits do not enter into dwellings (the hollow places or holding tanks spoken of in Enoch) but shall wander in torture, forever in grief and sorrow in seven ways.

1.      The first way, because they have mocked the Law of the Most High.

2.      The second way, because they CANNOT make a good repentance so that they now may live.

3.      The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the Covenants of the Most High.

4.      The fourth way, they shall consider THE TORTURE LAID UP FOR THEMSELVES IN THE LAST DAYS.

5.      The fifth way, they shall see how the dwellings of the others are guarded by messengers (angels) in deep rest.

6.      The sixth way, they shall see how some of them pass over into torture.

7.      The seventh way, which is greater than all the ways that have been spoken, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the esteem of the Most High in whose presence they sinned while they were alive, AND IN WHOSE PRESENCE THEY ARE TO BE JUDGED IN THE LAST DAYS.”

What about the righteous?

Esdras 7:88-101

“And this is the order of those who have guarded the Ways of the Most High, when they are separated from their mortal body: During the time that they lived in it, they labored to serve the Most High, and withstood danger every hour so they might guard the Law of the Lawgiver perfectly. Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: Firstly, they shall see the great joy the esteem of He who receives him, for they shall have rest in seven orders.” Just think about the Creator of heaven and earth being joyful to receive the one who endures this life! This should make you want to strive to see His face!

1.      The first order, because they strove with great effort to overcome the wicked thought that was formed with them, so that it might not lead them astray from life unto death.

2.      The second order, because they see the confusion in which the beings of the unrighteous wander and the PUNISHMENT THAT AWAITS THEM.

3.      The third order, they see the witness that He who formed them bears concerning them, that through-out their life they GUARDED THE LAW with which they were entrusted.

4.      The fourth order, they know the rest that they now enjoy, being gathered into their rooms and guarded by messengers (angels) in deep rest, and the esteem waiting for them in the last days.

5.      The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible and shall inherit what is to come; and they also see the difficulty and toil from which they have been delivered, and the SPACIOUS FREEDOM that they are to receive and enjoy in immortality.

6.      The sixth order, when it is shown them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from them on.

7.      The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been spoken, for they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they press to see the face of He whom they served in life and from Whom they are to receive their reward when esteemed.

This is the order of the beings of the righteous, which from now on is announced; and the previously spoken are the ways of TORTURE that those who would not pay heed shall suffer from now on.” Then I answered and said, “Shall there be time given to the beings after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me? And He said to me, “They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see that of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered into their dwellings (the same ones mentioned in Enoch).

Sirach 18:24

“Think upon the wrath that shall be in the end, and the time of vengeance, when He turns away His face.”

2 Esdras 7:125

“For while we lived and committed wickedness, we did not consider that we should begin to suffer for it after death.”

These words from Sirach and Esdras correlate with what happens to the souls when they depart their bodies. Think about these things now and don’t wait until it’s too late. We know the number 7 is completion and YHWH uses 7 to complete what happens to the souls of the righteous and unrighteous. This is serious my fellow brothers and sisters, souls will wander about shamed and terrified because they disregarded the Way of YHWH and will be thinking of the torment laid up for them in the last days. Give your life to YESHUA today Who is The Way, The Truth, and The Life and do not delay any longer!

Sirach 10:19

“Those who revere YHWH are a continual seed, and those who love Him in esteemed plant. Those who disregard the Law are a shameful seed; those who transgress the Commands are a deceptive seed.” Those who willfully break the commandments are a shameful and deceptive seed! We know that Satan is the great deceiver and the father of lies, so not keeping the commandments makes you lawless as Satan is.

Sirach 12:6

“For the Most High hates sinners, and shall repay the wicked with retribution (punishment inflicted on someone as vengeance for a wrong or criminal act), and keeps them for the great day of their punishment.”

Sirach 15:11-20

“Do not say, “It is because of YHWH that I fell away.” For you ought not to do that which He HATES. Do not say, “He has caused me to stray.” For He has NO NEED OF THE SINFUL MAN. YHWH hates ALL abomination. And those who revere ELOHIM do not love it. He Himself made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel; so you shall guard the commands, and act trustworthily. He has put fire and water before you; stretch out your hand to which you choose. Life and death is before man…What is life and death?

Deuteronomy 30:15-16

See, I have put before you today life and good, and death and evil, in that I am commanding you today to love YHWH your ELOHIM, to walk in His Ways, and to guard His Commands, and His Laws, and His Right-Rulings…” And how do we love YHWH and YESHUA? John 14:21-24, John 15:10, and 1 John 5:3.

Sirach 16:11-20 (continued)

“And what he chooses shall be given him. For the wisdom of YHWH is great, and He is mighty in power, and sees all. And His eyes are upon those who revere Him. And He knows every work of man. He has commanded no man to do wickedly, neither has He given ANY MAN PERMISSION TO SIN.”

I have this stress the importance of this! Satan has deceived many!

2 Esdras 7:20-24

“For there are many who perish in this life, because they despise the Law of ELOHIM that is put before them. For ELOHIM has given a strict Command to those who came, what they should do to live, even as they came, and what they should observe to avoid PUNISHMENT!” Nevertheless they were not obedient to Him; but spoke against Him, and plotted in vain; and deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said of the Most High, that He did not exist; and did not know His ways “But they have despised His Torah, and denied His Covenants; they have not been trustworthy in His Laws, and have not performed His works.” This sounds a lot like Isaiah 24.

Isaiah 24:5

“For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot (Plural form of Torah), changed the Law, broken the everlasting Covenant.”

Daniel 7:25

“And it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the saints of the Most High, and it intends to change the Appointed Times (Holy Days in Leviticus 23 Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles) and LAW…).

As we can see that saying the Torah and Laws are done away with and despising His Commands, saying they are legalistic, bondage, and burdensome is from the father of lies and not our Father YHWH!  Satan has gotten the world to change YHWH’s Holy Days into pagan celebrations of Xmas, Easter, Halloween, New Years, Thanksgiving just as spoken of in Daniel and they change the Laws which is the exact opposite of what YHWH said in Isaiah and Esdras (Sabbath Day worship for example being changed for Sunday.) Satan has other plans, the same way he deceived Eve in the garden, is the same way he is deceiving those who claim to know YESHUA!

Think of the reward for obedience!

2 Esdras 2:42-48

“I Ezra saw upon Mount Zion a great number whom I could not number, and they all praised YHWH with songs. And in the midst of them there was a young Man of tall stature-taller than all the rest; and upon every one of their heads He placed crowns, and was more exalted; at which I marveled at greatly. So I asked the messenger (angel) and said, master, who are these?” He answered and said to me, “These are those who have put off the mortal garments, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the Name of ELOHIM; now they are crowned, and receive palms.” Then I said to the messenger, “What young Man is this who crowns them, and gives them palms in their hands?” So he answered and said to me, “It is the Son of ELOHIM, whom they have confessed in the world.” Then I began to greatly commend those who stood so steadfastly for the Name of YHWH.”

Do SINNERS burn in HELL forever? SHARE THIS ASAP!

Written by: Damien Powell

2 Esdras 15:24

“Woe to those who sin, and DO NOT GUARD MY COMMANDS! Says YHWH. I shall not spare them. Go your way, you unbelieving children, do not defile My Miqdash (Dwelling place/Tabernacle).”

Out of love, this is a wakeup call for the entire world! Watch and or read this entire broadcast because this is important for the future to ALL even non-believers! The world and the followers of YESHUA have lost the reverence for YHWH and don’t fear Him or the judgment anymore. I remember growing up I used to hear people talk about the “fire and brimstone preachers” but now they are rare. Yes our ELOHIM is ALL love and He does not want to see any perish, but we have to understand that there is a life after this one. The life of righteous who forsake this world and died to self to follow YESHUA will live in paradise; whereas the unrighteous, sinners, and non-believers will suffer forever.

As we see YHWH says in 2 Esdras 15:24 that those who do not keep His commandments are “unbelievers” which puts them in the same category as those who did not believe in YHWH at all! This ties in to YESHUA saying in Mathew 7:23 “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!” These were people claiming to be believers in YESHUA, but were lawless not keeping His Commandments!

I wanted to examine this topic because I honestly see so many people living so nonchalantly and disregarding The Ways of our Creator YHWH and YESHUA! The world has adopted this mentality from false teachings saying a loving ELOHIM will not burn people forever, so now believers are walking around half-stepping in their walk being lukewarm, because in their minds they say “I’ll just perish and be no more.” or “The burn won’t last that long.”

 I will prove that the false teaching of NO HELL is a lie by using the Word of YHWH! Even the books of the Apryochpha that were in the original KJV 1611 Bible were removed because Martin Luther said was “too Jewish” talk about Commandments, righteousness, and the coming judgment, all of which he did not believe in. Therefore crafting the Protestant Bible today which only contains 66 Books of YHWH’s written Word. The world has forgotten how holy ELOHIM is and that He flooded the earth and only 8 people survived and He destroyed Sodom and Amorah and only 3 survived because Lot’s wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. Two separate judgments and only 11 survivors.

The Torture issue

If ELOHIM did not support torture then why does He condone it with the 5th plague of locusts?

Revelation 9:4-6

“And it was said to them that they shall not harm the grass of the earth, or anything green, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of YHWH upon their foreheads. And it was given to them that they should not kill them, but to TORTURE THEM FOR FIVE MONTHS. And their TORTURE was like the TORTURE of a scorpion when it stings a man. And in those days MEN shall seek death and shall not find it. And they shall long to die, but death shall flee from them.”

Not only were they being tortured for five months, but they sought death and could not die, just as it will be in hell! Sinners will seek death, seek light, seek water, and seek air, but will not find it in their torture forever!

Not only that, who are we as humans to try to justify in our minds the mind of YHWH?

Isaiah 55:8

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares YHWH. For as the heaven are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

John 8:23

“And He (YESHUA) said to them, “You are from below, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.”

Ecclesiastes 11:5

“As you do not know what is the way of the wind, or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of ELOHIM whom makes all.”

Romans 11:33-34

“Oh, the depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of ELOHIM! How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways! For who has known the mind of YHWH? Or who has become His counsellor?”

2 Esdras 7:19

“And he said to me. “There is no judge above ELOHIM, and none that has understanding above the Most High.”

So these passages alone show that no human will know His mind so there is no need to justify in your hearts what you feel is right or wrong! The opinions of a man does not matter to Him!

Sirach the grandson of Joshua says in (Book removed from Bible) Sirach 3:24

“For many are deceived by their own worthless opinion; and evil suspicion has overthrown their judgment.” Their opinions have overthrown the truth and are blinded by their own judgment trying to avoid what really happens after death.

YHWH loved us so much that He sent His Only Son who had no sin to be sin for US into the world to die and redeem us back to Him! That is love!

1 John 4:10

“In this is love, not that we loved YHWH, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning offering for our sins.”

He died for the sins for ALL humanity whether they love Him or not; whether they believed in Him and accepted the gift or not! Why wouldn’t He reserve the right to do as He pleases for those who reject His gift of love? Would any parent do that with their own child? So how much punishment is in order for those who disobey Him?

Hebrews 10:26-31

“For if we sin purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins, but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the opponents. Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Moses dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. How much more worse punishment do you think shall he deserve who has trampled the Son of YHWH underfoot, counted the blood of the Covenant by which he was kadosh (sanctified) as common, and insulted the Spirit of favor? For we know Him who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says YHWH.” And again, “YHWH shall judge His people.” It is a fearsome to fall into the hands of the living ELOHIM.”

So there is a place prepared for those who don’t want to have anything to do with Him, His Torah, His Commands, His Laws, or His Ways. Hell is the exact opposite of what ELOHIM is. And when He removes His goodness and love away, which is eternal separation from Him, then the world will see how good He was to them. Air, food, water, light, communication, and companionship to just to name a few will be gone forever!

1 John 1:5

“And this is the message which we have heard from Him and announce to you, that Elohim is light and in Him is no darkness at all.”

Everlasting torment after death!

Revelation 14:9-11

“And a third messenger followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark upon his forehead or upon his hand, he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of YHWH, which is poured out undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he shall be TORTURED with fire and sulphur before the holy messengers and before the Lamb. And the smoke of their TORTURE goes up forever and ever. And they have NO REST DAY OR NIGHT, those worshipping the beast and his image, also if anyone receives the mark of his name.”

2 Thessalonians 1:8-9

“In flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know ELOHIM, and on those who do not obey the Good News of our Adon (Master) YESHUA ha’Mashiach, who shall be punished with EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION from the presence of the Adon and from the esteem of His strength…”

Revelation 20:10

“And the devil, who led them astray, was thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet are. Verse 13-14 “And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. And the death and the grave were thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE. This is the second death. And if anyone was not found written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE.”

Notice how those who were in the death and grave and those not found in the Book of Life were thrown into the same LAKE OF FIRE as the devil, the beast, and false prophet? This makes sense that the smoke of their torment goes up forever and they have no rest day or night. This gives greater understanding to what YESHUA says

Mathew 25:37-46

“Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying, “Adonai, when did we see You hungry and we fed, or thirsty and gave to drink? And when did we see You a stranger and took in, or naked and clothed? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and we came to You? And the Sovereign (King) shall answer and say to them ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you did it to Me.” He shall then also say to those on the left hand, ‘Go away from Me, accursed ones, into the EVERLASTING FIRE PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS MESSENGERS…” Remember the lake of fire where the devil, beast, false prophet, and all those not found in the book of life went! Verse 46 “And these shall go away into EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT, but the righteous into everlasting life.”

I have heard the argument that everlasting punishment does not mean everlasting torment. So I pose the question, if we all have the understanding that everlasting life means living forever, then how doesn’t the same concept apply to everlasting destruction or punishment not being forever? The justifications of man-kind to live in sin.

Mathew 18:8

“And if your hand or foot causes you to stumble, cut if off and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the EVERLASTING FIRE.”

Luke 16:19-31

“But there was a certain rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen and lived luxuriously every day. And there was a certain beggar named El’azar, being covered with sores, who was placed at his age, and longing to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Indeed, even the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to be that the beggar died, and was carried by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried. And while suffering tortures in the grave, having lifted up his eyes, he saw Abraham far away, and El’azar in his bosom. And crying out he said, father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send El’azar to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your life you received your good, and likewise El’azar the evil, but now he is comforted and you are suffering. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been put, so that those who want to pass from here to you are unable, nor do those from there pass to us.’ “And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers, let him warn them, lest they also come to this place of torture. Abraham said to him, “They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them. And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they shall repent. But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither would they be persuaded even if one should rise from the dead.”

Moses is just another way of saying Torah because he wrote it. Ezra 7:6 “this Ezra came up from Babel. And he was a scribe, skilled in the Torah of Moses, which YHWH Elohim of Yisra’el has given…”.

YESHUA told us in Luke 16 in summarization that they have Moses (Torah) and the prophets let them hear them. He is saying that we all possess The Bible which contains the Torah written by Moses who wrote about YESHUA, the guidelines/instructions, laws, commands, Living Words and the prophets who prophesied that YESHUA would suffer and die, be raised on the third day, for the forgiveness of sins to redeem us by His own blood.

In other words just like this selfish pagan king, who had the opportunity to find the truth and life giving words found in Scripture (Bible), he found out that his lawlessness and not loving his neighbor as himself which is in the Torah, ended him up in a place of torment. The entire world who is professing YESHUA as their Savior has the opportunity to have faith in YESHUA and obey The Torah and more importantly realize that His commands are NOT done away! The requirement is to have faith and the works to go along with it. And as we see this king found out the hard way, let that not be any of you!

The demons understand this clearly

So those found unrighteous will be thrown into the same place as the devil, beast, and false prophet. So why it is the demons fear but humans don’t? It’s time to wake up!

Mathew 8:29

“And see, they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, YESHUA, Son of ELOHIM? Have you come here to TORTURE us, before the appointed time?”

Mark 5:6-7

“And seeing YESHUA from a distance, he ran and bowed down to Him, and having called out with a loud voice, said, “What have I to do with You, YESHUA, Son of the Most High EL? Swear to ELOHIM not to TORTURE me.”

2 Esdras/4th Ezra clears up the issue further! Torment is a definite!

As pointed out in the introduction, The Apocrypha which included the Book of Esdras or 4th Ezra, Sirach, and many others were included in the original 1611 King James Bible, so it was a part of the canon, but later removed in the 1800’s. So if you are reading the King James Bible then doesn’t it concern you that the original copy of the King James contained these books, but now they don’t? As I stated earlier Martin Luther believed in grace alone and no works, so he deemed this books too Jewish! Which is truly said because our Messiah was Jew from the tribe of Judah who obeyed the Torah because He is the written Word that became living flesh! Martin Luther helped with the protesting against the law which continues to this very day. Even Sirach answers the hyper-grace crowd that says we cannot out sin ELOHIM’s grace.

Sirach 5:5-7

“Do not be without reverence to add sin unto sin; and do not say, “His kindness is great; He shall be appeased for the multitude of my sins.’ For kindess and wrath come from Him, and His wrath rests upon sinners.”

Esdras agrees of narrow path

2 Esdras 7:11-12

“Because of their sakes I made the world; and when Adam transgressed My Laws, then what is now done was established. Then the entrances of this world were made NARROW, FULL OF SORROW AND HARDSHIP. They are but few and evil full of dangers, and very laboursome.”

Mathew 7:13-14

“Enter in through the NARROW gate! Because the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in through it. Because the gate is NARROW and the way is HARD PRESSED which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

So with that said, what does 2 Esdras say about hell and torment?

2 Esdras 7:20-24

“For there are many who perish in this life, because they despise the Law of ELOHIM that is put before them. For ELOHIM has given a strict Command to those who came, what they should do to live, even as they came, and what they should observe to avoid PUNISHMENT!” Nevertheless they were not obedient to Him; but spoke against Him, and plotted in vain; and deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said of the Most High, that He did not exist; and did not know His ways.” How do we know Him? 1 John 2:3 “And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard/keep His Commands. The one who says, I know Him,” and does not keep His Commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”  Verse 24 of Esdras continued “But they have despised His Torah, and denied His Covenants; they have not been trustworthy in His Laws, and have not performed His works.” This sounds a lot like Isaiah 24.

Isaiah 24:5

“For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot (Plural form of Torah), changed the Law, broken the everlasting Covenant.”

2 Esdras 7:33-47

“And the Most High shall appear upon the seat of judgment, and anguish shall pass away, and patience shall come to an end. But only judgment shall remain, truth shall stand, and belief shall grow strong. And the works shall follow, and the rewards be revealed, and the good deeds shall be firm, and wicked deeds shall not reign. The PIT OF TORTURE shall appear, and opposite shall be the place of rest; and the FURNANCE of Gey-Hinnom shall be uncovered and the paradise of delight opposite. Then the Most High will say to the NATIONS that have been raised from the dead, ‘See, and know whom you HAVE DENIED, WHOM YOU HAVE NOT SERVED, WHOSE COMMANDS YOU HAVE DESPISED. Look on this side and that; here is delight and rest, and there are FIRE AND TORTURE.’ So He shall speak to them on the day of judgment…”

Enoch (Hanok) 103:8

“And into darkness and chains and a burning flame where there is GREVIOUS judgment your spirits shall enter; and the great judgment shall be for ALL THE GENERATIONS OF THE WORLD. Woe to you, for you shall have NO PEACE! Sounds a lot like Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their TORTURE goes up forever and ever. And they have NO REST DAY OR NIGHT, those worshipping the beast and his image, also if anyone receives the mark of his name.” No peace or rest!

2 Esdras 7:47

“And now I see that the world to come will bring delight to FEW, but TORUTRE to many.”

2 Esdras 7:72-74

“For this reason, therefore, those who live on earth shall be TORTURED, for though they had knowledge, they committed wickedness; and although they received the Commandments, they did not guard them; and though they obtained the Law, they dealt untrustworthily with what they had received. What then shall they have to say in the judgment, or how shall they answer in the last days? How long the Most High has been PATIENT with the inhabitants of the WORLD! And not for their sakes, but because of the days that He has ordained.” 2 Peter 2:39 “YHWH is not slow in regard to the promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward us, not wanting that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” Notice YHWH says He has been patient with the entire WORLD!

YHWH wants all to repent and obey Him because He is love! He knows what is going to happen to those who keep walking in disobedience to His Son, His Torah, His Commands, and Laws! This is for OUR sake, not His! My fellow brothers and sisters this is important and something I always talk about which is following YHWH as He commanded us! Today choose life and be a sold out disciple of YESHUA not matter the cost, because the end of this age will be paradise for few, but torments to many!

2 Esdras 8:55-61

“And therefore ask no more questions concerning the multitude of those who perish; for when they had received freedom, they despised the Most High, scorned His Law, and forsook His Ways. And they have trodden down His righteous ones, and said in their heart, “There is no ELOHIM,” and even knowing that they shall die. For as that which is spoken of shall receive you, so THIRST AND ANGUISH are prepared for them; for it was not His desire that men should come to naught; but those who are created have defiled the Name of He who made them, and were thankless to He who prepared life for them.”

2 Esdras 9:9-12

“Then those who have abused My Ways shall be in a wretched state; and those who have thrown them away in spite shall DWELL IN TORTURE. For such have received benefits in their life, but have not known Me…”  Again, how do we know Him?

1 John 2:3-4

“And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His Commands. The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His Commands, is a liar, and the truth is not him.”

2 Esdras 9:9-12 (continued)

“And those who have loathed My Law, while they still had freedom, and when a place for repentance was still open to them, did not understand, but despised it; the same must acknowledge it in ANGUISH AFTER DEATH.”

2 Esdras 13:37-38

“And He, My Son shall rebuke the wicked deeds of those nations, who have fallen into the storm of their wicked life; And shall lay their evil thoughts before them, and the TORTURE with which they shall begin to be TORTURED, which are like flames; and He shall destroy those WITHOUT WORKS BY THE LAW which is comparable to Me.”

2 Esdras 7:125

“For while we lived and committed wickedness, we did not consider that we should begin to suffer for it after death.”

This last passage from Ezra is the mindset the world has, but don’t wait for this moment because I pray that this has waken you up out of your slumber and out of your lukewarm mind-state and that you walk with YESHUA with all of your heart.

2 Esdras 13:54-56

“For you have forsaken your OWN WAY, and applied your diligence to MY LAW, and sought it. You have ordered your life in WISDOM, and have called UNDERSTANDING your mother.”

What is wisdom and understanding?

Deuternomy 4:6

“And you shall guard and do them, for this is your WISDOM and your UNDERSTANDING before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these LAWS, and they shall say, “Only a WISE and UNDERSTANDING people is this great nation!”

Sirach 1:25-27

“But reverence is an abomination to the sinner. If you desire WISDOM, guard the Commands, and YHWH shall give her to you. For the reverence of YHWH is wisdom and instruction..”

We must accept the gift of YESHUA and LOVE Him!

How do we love Him according to the Bible?

Sirach 2:15-17

“Those who revere YHWH shall not DISOBEY His Word; and those who LOVE Him guard His Ways. Those who revere YHWH seek that which is well-pleasing to Him; and those who LOVE Him shall be filled with the TORAH.”

The only way that we can show our ELOHIM that we love Him as by keeping His Commands as Sirach said in this passage, but also YESHUA said it:

John 14:21

“He who possesses My Commands and guards them, it is he who LOVES Me. And he who loves Me shall be LOVED by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest Myself to him.”

John 15:10

“If you guard My Commands, you shall stay in My LOVE, even as I have guarded My Father’s Commands and stay in His LOVE.”

1 John 5:3

“For this is the LOVE for YHWH, that we guard His Commands, and His Commands are not burdensome.”

It’s time that the Body of Messiah and modern day Christianity to wake up and realize that we do not have to redefine how to love YHWH and YESHUA or how we know Him! Our ELOHIM tells us exactly how we do this and it’s by our actions and obeying Him! I pray this is a wake up call for all, because there will be a judgment from the Righteous Judge and He will judge all according to their works! Do not wait until tomorrow, because the time is NOW! Repent and walk with YESHUA!

Are beards a requirement for men? Are goatee’s acceptable?

Written by: Damien Powell

We have discussed how the Torah, commandments, laws apply to all believers in YESHUA and not just the Jews. Also, how our Messiah YESHUA The Son of YHWH never broke the Torah, because He is the Word that became flesh. He showed us how to walk in the laws and that we should keep them because the commandments are how we KNOW Him and how we LOVE Him! So are men commanded to have beards?

The Command!

Leviticus 19:27

“Do not round the corner of your head (bowl style hair cut), nor destroy the corner of your beard.”

So what constitutes as the corner of the beard? Where the hair meets the skin on the face from the top of ear through the jawline. In other words from the sideburns which is the strip of hair between the top of the ear and the bottom of the ear through-out the jawline and cheeks should not be shaved bald. The issue is not about trimming the beard, but completely destroying the corners by cutting all the hair off of the face. YHWH did not want His set-apart people looking like the pagan nations that He was driving out of the land. Which is why the goatee is forbidden by YHWH, but I will get to that in another section.

YHWH is perfect and He does everything by design and for a reason. Some benefits for beards from huffpost.com are:

·         Provides sun protection. ...

·        Helps prevent allergy-induced asthma attacks. ...

·         Decreases facial bacteria. ...

·         Serves as a filter to prevent irritants and allergens for getting into the skin

·         Keeps you warm in winter

·         A beard can ward off throat disease

·         A beard can reduce the chances of bacterial infection. 

 Did YESHUA have a beard?

Mathew 5:17

“Do not think that I’ve come to destroy the Torah or the prophets, I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.”

 Previously we discussed that YHWH commanded the children of Yisra’el to wear tsitsit/tassels/fringes in Numbers 15:38-39 and that YESHUA obeyed all the commandments in the Torah because He also wore tsitsit/tassels/fringes as found in Mathew 9:20, Mathew 14:36, and Luke 8:44. Therefore, we know that YESHUA would obeyed and had a beard as well.

Isaiah 50:6

“I gave My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who plucked out the BEARD, I did not hide My face from humiliation and spitting.”

Other men with beards

2 Samuel 10:2-5

“And David said, “Let me show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, as his dad showed kindness to me.” So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his dad. And when David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon, the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their master, “Is David esteeming your dad in your eyes in that he has sent comforters to you? Has David not rather sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it? So Hanun took David’s servants and shaved off half of their BEARDS, and cut off their garments in the middle, as far as their buttocks, and sent them away. And they informed David, and he sent to meet them, because the men were GREATLY ASHAMED. And the king said, “Wait at Jericho until your BEARDS HAVE GROWN, and then return.”

YHWH commands us to have beards and as we can see when the servants of David got half of their beards shaved off they were ashamed. And David a righteous man through his seed would come YESHUA understood this and told them to wait until their beards regrew! David himself had a beard:

1 Samuel 21:12-13

“And David took these words to heart, and was very much afraid of Akish the king of Gath, and changed his behavior before them, and feigned madness in their hands, and scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva run down on his BEARD.”

Ezra 9:3

“And when I heard this word, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked out some of the hair of my head and BEARD, and sat down astonished.”

Satan leads the world astray again!

I say this frequently because it’s true, that Satan knows what is in the Bible, but the question is do us as believers? He tried using Scripture against YESHUA, but YESHUA being the Word replied back with Scripture. We defeat the enemy with the living Words of YHWH. Satan banks on the fact that we will say it either “applies to the Jews” or “that’s Old Testament”. Which is why I keep stressing that fact that there is only ONE belief for native-born and gentiles that are grafted in because we all become citizens of Yisra’el, followers of The Way, The Truth, and The Life, and seed of Abraham making us heirs according to the promise. With Satan armed with knowing the commandment of YHWH, he wants you to rebel against Our Father as he did. Sadly, he has gotten a majority of the world to destroy their beards with fashions like goatees, Elvis sideburns, or the Van Dyke, that YHWH never intended.

Where does the GOAT-tee come from?

Wikipedia says “Until the late 20th century, the term goatee was used to refer solely to a beard formed by a tuft of hair on the chin-as on the chin of a goat, hence the term goatee.”

First of all we notice that the goatee is not the biblical command by YHWH, because all the hair on the sideburns, cheeks, and jawline have been destroyed in favor of a design or hair around the mouth. And as we see the term goatee comes from replicating the chin hairs of a goat, so why a goat?

Mathew 25:32-34

“And all the nations shall be gathered before Him, and He shall separate them one from another, AS a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats. And He shall put the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King shall say to those on His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the reign prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” Verse 41 He shall then also say to those on the left hand (goats), ‘Go away from Me, accursed ones, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his messengers.”

I want to make this clear that YESHUA was NOT saying that goats are evil because they are a clean animal, He was using sheep and goats for symbolism for the righteous and the unrighteous the accursed ones.

Exodus 12:5

“Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the SHEEP OR FROM THE GOATS.”

But notice how Satan has taken that symbolism and used the goat to represent his demonic agenda of unrighteousness and being accursed? He always used goats for demonic activity. The Baphomet has a GOAT head, Pan has the legs, hindquarters, and horns of a GOAT. They called the Baphomet the (Sabbatic goat) and I’ve pointed out before that YHWH has SHABBATS and Satan as sabbats (has no “H”) which means a pagan gathering of witches.

Look no further than Anton Lavey of the church of Satan. He purposely has a goat-tee because he knows the symbolism of unrighteousness that it represents. And being a member of the church of Satan he knows that YHWH requires a full beard, so they are intentionally rebelling, yet the world is doing this for style and are being deceived! (Refer to pictures of each one for references in the email.)

Remember we are created in ELOHIM’s image!

Genesis 1:26

“And ELOHIM said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and LET THEM RULE over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth.”

1 Corinthians 11:7

“For a man indeed should not cover his head, since he is the LIKENESS AND ESTEEM of ELOHIM, but woman is the esteem of man.”

Wisdom 2:23

“For ELOHIM created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of His own immortality.”

Satan was created before humans and feels that he should be ruling over ELOHIM’s creation and not man, he wants to be worshipped as elohim.

Isaiah 14:12-14

“How you have fallen from the heavens, O Helel (Hey-lail), son of the morning! You have been cut down to the ground, you who laid low the gentiles! For you have said in your heart, ‘Let me go up to the heavens, let me raise my throne above EL (ALE), and let me sit in the mount of meeting on the sides of the north; let me go up above the heights of the clouds, let me be like the Most High.’

Wisdom 2:24

“Nevertheless death came into the world through ENVY of the devil, and those who hold to his side find it.”

So when Satan looks a mankind he is reminded of YHWH since we are created in His image, and Satan will do anything to make you destroy that image, and make you into something you were not!

And being that Satan is the elohim or god of this world he is always operating in the shadows to accomplish his goal of rebellion. Notice how the corporate world wants a clean shaven man because beards look to rugged for them and a majority of the time they are forbidden in that arena.

All men’s beards will not grow the same as ELOHIM created us differently. Some beards have patches in them and some have other issues, but you grow one the best you can and let it grow. The purpose is for those who can grow them but intentionally cut the beard off that this is deeper than fashion or a job, this is spiritual as always and being obedient to our Father YHWH and walking with YESHUA as He walked!

Valentines Day: Satan's way of showing LOVE!

Written by: Damien Powell

Enoch (Hanok) 99:7

“And they worship stones, and graven images of gold and silver and wood and clay, and those who worship impure spirits and demons, and all kinds of idols not according to knowledge, shall get no manner of help from them.”

Revelation 9:20

“And the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship the demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk.

Men and women all over the world are going out of their way to purchase roses, candy, cards, and other gifts to show their partner whether married or unmarried how much they love them. The world spends an estimated 18.2 billion dollars for Valentines, but what are the origins behind this day? Why do we need the world to tell us when to love our significant others? Again, Satan has conditioned the world to sin against YHWH and YESHUA by getting unmarried couples to engage in fornication while others commit adultery. Satan the father of lies is getting the world to show love according to his sinful desire. He has the world recreating dark pagan rituals and worshipping pagan deities/demons.

Here are facts about Valentine’s Day:

·        YHWH tells us in Jeremiah 10:2 “Do not learn the way of the gentiles/heathen” yet the world passes Valentine’s Day off as a Christian holiday when it is found nowhere in Scripture. The world again, has done exactly what YHWH said DO NOT do, which is learn gentile/pagan customs by attempting to Christianize a pagan day known as “Lupercalia”.

·        Lupercalia a Roman holiday, a festival that was performed between February 13th and February 15th. They performed the festival to expel spirits and purify the city and release fertility and health. It was an ancient Roman celebration in honor of Lupercus aka Faunus who was the deity of fertility.

Faunus was a Roman deity of flocks and shepherds and had the head and torso of a man, but hindquarters of a goat. Lupercalia celebrated the coming of spring with orgies, sex with minors, fornication, and drunkenness. Faunus was considered a symbol of “fecundity”, which means the ability to produce an abundance of offspring or new growth; fertility because of his lustful nature. Now we know why everyone wants to lust, make love and fornicate on this day because of what it stems from with the pagan deities of fornication and fertility.

What does Scripture say about lust, fornication, orgies, and drunkenness?

All of these sins occur on Valentine’s Day since it represents fertility and they all go against Scripture.

1 Peter 4:3

“For enough of our past lifetime we have done the desire of the gentiles, having walked in indecencies, LUSTS, DRUNKENNESS, ORGIES, WILD PARTIES….”

Peter lists all of the abominations of Valentines in this one passage alone! Being that Satan knows what is in scripture he used what is forbidden to be celebrated openly and accepted as normal amongst the masses.

Galatians 5:19

“And the works of the flesh are well-known, which are ADULTERY, SEXUAL IMMORALITY, uncleanness, indecency, idolatry, drug sorcery (ecstasy/molly on this day), hatred, quarrels, jealousies, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, murders, DRUNKENNESS, WILD PARTIES…”

What is sexual immorality? (unlawful sexual intercourse. It includes adultery, prostitution, sexual relations between unmarried individuals, homosexuality, and bestiality)

1 Thessalonians 4:3-4

“For this is the desire of Elohim: your holiness! – That you should abstain from SEXUAL IMMORALITY that each one of you should know how to possess his own vessel (body) in holiness and respect, not in PASSION OF LUST, like the gentiles who DO NOT KNOW ELOHIM…”

2 Timothy 3:4

“…betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of ELOHIM, having a form of reverence but denying its power. And turn away from these! For among them are those who creep into households and captivate silly women loaded down with sins, led away by various LUSTS.”

Colossians 3:5

“Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: SEXUAL IMMORALITY uncleanness, PASSION, evil desire and greed of gain, which is idolatry. Because of these the wrath of ELOHIM is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you also ONCE WALKED when you lived in them.” This should not occurring with believers, this should all be past behavior!

2 Esdras 7:114

“Lack of self-control is at an end, SEXUAL IMMORALITY is cut off, righteousness grows, and truth springs forth.”       

Tobiyah 4:12

“Beware of ALL SEXUAL IMMORALITY my son…” Verse 15 “Do not do to any man that which you hate; do not drink wine to make yourself DRUNK, neither let DRUNKENESS go with you in your way.”

Hebrews 13:4

“Let marriage be respected by all, and the bed be undefiled. But ELOHIM shall judge those who FORNICATE, and ADULTERERS.”

Mathew 5:27-28

“You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ “But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to LUST for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

Respect your marriages and keep your bed undefiled at all times! This warning is for those who are unmarried and are sleeping with someone who is married as well. You should have enough respect to know that isn’t right. But again, Satan makes people feel like that have to show some love on this day and make them victims of something most regret. How will you explain this one night of passion to your spouse?

More facts    

    Lupercalia was held on February 15th “The Feast of Lupercus”. Lupercus was the fertility deity the Romans worshipped, they sacrificed goats and dogs, then the blood was smeared on the foreheads of the young men, then the blood was wiped off with wool dipped in milk. Then the men wearing strips of goatskin around their loins ran around the city striking women with the goatskin. It was believed that pregnant women would have easier labor and interfile women would become fertile.

Lupercalia was the festival for Lupercus and later in the day the feast of Juno “Februate” was celebrated where women would be paired with men by a lottery. Juno was the Roman goddess fever of love, marriage, and women. Her day also fell on February 15th and on this day young women wrote their names on “billets” which are slips of paper and put them in a large bowl, then single men would draw out the billet. The lady whose name was on the billet would be his partner for all the erotic festivals for the day. Now we know where we get “secret valentines” from, where people would draw names from a bowl and get a gift for their secret crush. It is more modernized today because people can draw names online for their secret valentines and send anonymous messages and draw names online to find the perfect gift for your secret cupid. Also, the expected sex the couples are expected to have stem from the erotic pleasures for the day as it was in ancient Rome.

·        Two men named Valentine were killed on Valentine’s Day and St. Valentine who married couples in private so they could avoid being drafted was beheaded on February 14, 269 AD. This reminds me of two people who were killed on the birthdays of two evil men in the Bible. Pharaoh killed the chief baker and King Herod killed John the Baptist.

·        When Rome accepted Christianity the Roman Catholic Church did not like the open erotic behavior of Lupercalia so Pope Galasius honored February 14th as the honor of Valentinus a saint martyr instead of Lupercus. All he did was merge paganism with Christianity and disguised it with a new name to make it more acceptable to the masses the same way they did Xmas and all the other abominable holidays.

·        To get rid of the feast of Juno Februata, Pope Gelasius changed it form February 15th to February 14th and called it St. Valentine’s Day. It was then associated with various martyrs by the name of Valentine, covering up pagan roots behind the name of Christianity and the world has fallen prey. The world isn’t honoring any saints but worshipping pagan deities of fertility.

·        Red roses which are so popular on Valentine’s Day was the favorite flower of Venus the mother of Cupid. And we can now see the connection as to why people by their lovers roses on this day.

·        Valentine’s Day honors Lupercus, Junos, Pan, Venus, Aphrodite, Faunus all representing love, lust, desire, and fertility. Just because we change the name of a pagan ritual doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a pagan ritual. All the world is doing is recreating pagan rituals in modern times and YHWH hates it. As always let us stand up and fight for our ELOHIM in spirit and truth.

Should believers in Messiah wear tassels (fringes) on their garments?

Written by: Damien Powell

Last week we discussed how the Torah which contains all of YHWH’s guidelines, instructions, commandments, and laws were obeyed by Abel, Noah, and Abraham before there ever was a Jew! Therefore, this shows that the Torah and Laws are eternal (everlasting) and apply to ALL who follow the One True Elohim YHWH and His Son YESHUA! So what are tassels (fringes) and do believers need to wear them?

The Command

Numbers 15:37-41

“And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Yisra’el, and you shall say to them to make tsitsit (pronounced seat-seat, KJV says tassels or fringes) on the corners of their garments THROUGHOUT THEIR GENERATIONS, and to put a purple (some say blue) cord in the tsitsit of the corners. And it shall be to you for a tsitsit, and you shall see it, and shall remember all the Commands of YHWH and shall DO THEM, and not search after your own heart and your own eyes after which you went lusting, so that you remember, and shall do ALL My Commands, and be holy unto your Elohim. I am YHWH your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt pronounced Mitz-rye-eem), to be your Elohim. I am YHWH your Elohim.”

Deuteronomy 22:12

“Make tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself.”

The tsitsit/tassels/fringes look like the tassels that are worn during graduation ceremonies with knots tied in them, and are worn at the bottom of the garment to remind us to keep His Commandments and be holy unto YHWH. The cord is usually referred to as a ribbon “a ribbon of purple/blue” (the 1862 Young’s translation says ribbon as well) at the border with the tassels under it.  We know that the world goes astray from YHWH, yet schools borrow from His Living Words and apply to them to graduation ceremonies. Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 is so true

“What has been is what shall be, what has been done is what shall be done, and there is none new under the sun. Is there a matter of which it is said, “See, this is new? It was here already, long ago.”

There is much debate about whether the color of the cord/ribbon is to be blue or purple, the Hebrew word "Tekayleth" (tek-ay-leth) was translated in the KJV to mean blue, however, the "Tekayleth" means violet in Hebrew, not blue and even the concordance agrees. Strong’s 8504 says this:

Strong's Concordance

tekeleth: violet, violet thread

Original Word: תְּכֵלֶת
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: tekeleth
Phonetic Spelling: (tek-ay'-leth)
Definition: violet, violet thread

According to hebrewgarments.com and other sources says: Why did the KJV use blue? The KJV is an Old English Translation of Hebrew Words. At the time of translation, blue was used to describe violet as violet contained more blue than red, it was only logical. However, this is corrected in the concordance which even describes this "blue" shade to actually be violet. 

I personally do not think this was done intentionally to deceive anyone, it’s just two different languages. However, I do encourage anyone to refer back to the Hebrew as much as possible so you can get a better understanding of YHWH”s Words because one word can change the entire meaning of a passage. The same way the KJV translates grain as corn, the example of this is found in John 12:24

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”

The passage should read like this “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a GRAIN of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.”

Corn during that time period was referred to as any grain especially wheat, so reading that passage in KJV would be misleading, as we know there is no “corn of wheat” and it makes more sense knowing that it is “grain of wheat”. I strongly believe this is what happened with the color translation as well. I honestly, do not know how YHWH views this situation with the translations of colors, cords, and ribbons, but as always take it to Him in prayer and let the Ruach guide you. But without a doubt men and women who follow YESHUA are commanded to wear tassels on their garments!

Did YESHUA wear tsitsit/tassels?

We see in Numbers 15:38-41 YHWH Commands us to wear tsitsit and we know that YESHUA is the Word of YHWH made flesh; therefore, YESHUA would not break The Torah, He obeyed every commandment being without sin, and He cannot abolish any laws being that He is The Word or else He would be abolishing Himself, let it not be! And we are to walk as He walked. He is Elohim the Son who became fully human as we are and even received the Ruach ha’Kodesh (Holy Spirit) just as we are supposed to. So He did not cut any corners because He is The Son of YHWH, He showed us how to walk and be obedient.

1 John 2:5-6

“But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The one who says he stays in Him OUGHT HIMSELF ALSO TO WALK, EVEN AS HE WALKED.”

Mathew 9:19-20

“And YESHUA rose and followed him, His disciples too. And see, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the TSITSIT (Tassels) of His garment.”

Luke 8:43-44

“And a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who having spent all her livelihood on physicians, was unable to be healed by any, came from behind and touched the TSITSIT (Tassels) of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.”

Mathew 14:35-36

“And when the men of that placed recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding country, and brought to Him all who were sick, and begged Him to let them only touch the TSITSIT (Tassels) of His garment. And as many as touched it were completely healed.”

KJV says hem or borders right?

The King James Bible translated the world tassel or fringes with border and hem which changes the meaning if you don’t go back at look at the original word as I pointed out earlier. This is how the KJV reads regarding the tassels:

Luke 8:43-44 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

Matthew 9:20 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.

The Greek word used to translate "border" and "hem" in the above scriptures is the word kraspedon #2899 in the Strong's concordance:

Kraspedon means a fringe or tassel – border, hem. Even the Barkley-Newman Greek Dictionary defines it as: kraspedon, fringe, edge; tassel

YESHUA is Torah and pointed to the Torah

Mathew 5:17

“Do not think that I came to destroy (abolish) the Torah or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete.”

YESHUA pointed to The Torah when He healed the leper? Mathew 8:2-4

“And see, a leper came, and bowed before Him, saying, “Adonai, if You desire, You are able to make me clean.” And stretching out His hand YESHUA touched him, saying, “I desire it. Be cleansed! And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And YESHUA said to him, “See, mention it to no one. But go your way, show yourself to the Kohen (priest) and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a witness to them.” Ezra 7:6 shows Moses was given Torah by YHWH, Moses wrote the words.

Leviticus 14:1-4

“And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, “This shall be the Torah of the leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the Kohen (priest), and the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall look and see, if the leprosy is healed in the leper, then the Kohen shall command, and he shall take for him who is to be cleansed to live and clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet and hyssop.” Verse 32 “This the Torah for one who had an infection of leprosy, who is unable to afford his cleansing.”

What is the gift YESHUA was referring to? Leviticus 1:1-4

“And YHWH called to Moses, and spoke to him from the Tent of Appointment, saying, “Speak to the children of Yisra’el, and say to them, ‘When anyone of you brings an offering to YHWH, you bring your offering of the livestock, of the herd or of the flock. ‘If his offering is a burnt offering of the herd, let him bring a male, a perfect one. Let him bring it at the door of the Tent of Appointment, for his acceptance before YHWH. ‘And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.”

We can see that YESHUA pointed back to the Torah concerning the healing of the Leper and YESHUA cleansed Him without the leper having to go through the entire ritual showing His power, but He did tell him to offer the gift commanded in the Torah as a witness.

Let us do ALL we can to be obedient and walk like YESHUA

Luke 6:46

“But why do you call Me Adonai (My Master), Adonai,’ and do not do what I say? Everyone who is coming to Me, and is hearing My Words and is DOING them, I shall show you whom he is like: “He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock. And when a flood came, the stream burst against that house, but was unable to shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But the one hearing and NOT DOING, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream burst, and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”

Let us obedient to our Elohim of Yisra’el and follow Him as He commanded and walk how YESHUA walked! The tsitsit also make you stand out amongst a crowd because nobody is wearing them, so you will have a set-apart look from the world, plus it’s a great conversation starter. People will want to know what they mean because it is so rare to see them, which is a great time to tell them about YESHUA our awesome Mashiach/Messiah (Ma-she-ach) and all He has done for us! HalleluYAH!

WARNING LAWBREAKERS! Proof Abel & Noah obeyed The Law before Jews!

Written by: Damien Powell

Enoch (Hanok) 99:2

“Woe to them who pervert the Words of uprightness, and transgress the ENTERNAL (EVERLASTING) LAW, and transform themselves into what they were not-into sinners! They shall be trodden under foot upon the earth.”

These are some powerful words from Enoch who was shown the end from the beginning and wrote everything down for a future generation of instruction. The point is that the Torah, Commandments, Laws of YHWH are eternal that means they always existed and this applies for ALL creation! Further proof of this is that Abel/Hebel (Hay-veil), Noah, and Abraham kept the commandments in Genesis before there ever was a Jew! Did Abel make a sacrifice for his offering?

Genesis 4:4

“And Abel also brought of the FIRST-BORN of his flock and of their fat. And YHWH looked to Abel and his offering….”

Notice how Abel brought the First-born of his flock and the fat? Why did he bring the first-born of the flock?

Leviticus 27:26

“However, a FIRST-BORN of the beasts, which is FIRST-BORN to YHWH, no man sanctify it-whether bull or sheep, it BELONGS TO YHWH.”

Deuteronomy 15:19

“Kadosh (sanctify) to YHWH your Elohim all the FIRST-BORN males that come from your HERD AND YOUR FLOCK. Do no work with the FIRST-BORN of your herd, nor shear the FIRST-BORN of your flock.”

As we can see Abel already knew in Genesis what to offer to YHWH before it was written in Deuteronomy! Abel didn’t guess, he already knew what YHWH expected and he presented it before YHWH and why his was accepted. Now how about the fat that Abel brought along with the first-born of his flock? In order to get fat from an animal you must kill him and in this case it was for a sacrifice.

Leviticus 3:3

“And from the peace offering he shall bring an offering made by fire to YHWH, THE FAT that covers the entrails and all THE FAT that is on the entrails.”

Leviticus 7:2-3

“The guilt offering is slaughtered in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering, and its blood is sprinkled on the altar all around. Then he brings from it all its FAT: THE FAT tail and the FAT that covers the entrails…”

The author of Hebrews confirms that Abel’s offering was a blood sacrifice/offering with the following Scripture.

Hebrews 12:24

“And to YESHUA the Mediator of a New Covenant, and to the BLOOD of sprinkling which speaks BETTER THAN ABEL.”

We don’t make animals sacrifices anymore being that YESHUA our perfect Lamb without blemish offered Himself once and for ALL for sin. This just proves that Abel was obeying the commands in the Torah before it was written in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Abel was righteous for what he did with his offering.

Hebrews 11:4

“By belief, Abel offered to Elohim a greater SLAUGHTER offering than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous…”

So how much better the blood of YESHUA the Lamb of YHWH who takes away the sins of the world. Further proof that the world has to accept the free gift of YESHUA and obey His Commands. Abel had faith to offer up his best and works of the Torah by obeying what he knew YHWH expected. Abel is only four chapters in and he was obedient and he was before Noah.

Did Noah obey the commandments?

Genesis 7:1-2

“And YHWH said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.”

Verse 2 “Of all the CLEAN beasts take with you seven pairs, a male of his female; and of the beasts that are UNCLEAN two, a males and his female;”

How did Noah know what animals were CLEAN and UNCLEAN before they were written in Leviticus 11 where He lists what we can eat and what we cannot eat? Then YHWH makes it clearer in Leviticus 11:46-47

“This is the TORAH of the beasts and the birds and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth, to make A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE UNCLEAN AND THE CLEAN, and between the living creature that is eaten and the living creature that is NOT EATEN.”

Notice how YHWH says in Leviticus 11:46 “This is The TORAH” which we know is the first five books which the world calls the Law! So this makes sense when YHWH said that Noah was righteous before Him in that generation. What is righteousness?

Deuteronomy 6:25

“And it is righteousness for us when we guard to do ALL these Commands before YHWH our Elohim, as He has commanded us.”

Psalms 119:142

“Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and Your TORAH IS TRUTH.”

Now we know why Noah was guarding the Torah of the dietary laws in Genesis before it was written in Leviticus because he knew the truth and was righteous.

What about Abraham?

Genesis 26:5

“Because Abraham obeyed My voice and guarded My Charge: My Commands, My Laws, and My Torot (Plural form of Torah).”

So this would make since that since Abel and Noah who were before Abraham, obeyed the Torah and that Abraham whom all the nations of the earth would be blessed would have obeyed the eternal Torah as well. Abraham begot Isaac and then Isaac begot Jacob! Through Jacob came Judah; where the Jews come from, so we can see that Abel, Noah, and Abraham all kept the Torah before there ever was a Jew! YESHUA even said in John 8:39 “They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” YESHUA said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.” We know his works because YHWH said he obeyed the Torah. So if we are all the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise, then are you doing what Abraham did by keeping Torah?

Galatians 3:29

“And if you are of Messiah, then YOU ARE SEED OF ABRAHAM, and heirs according to promise.”

What about Moses?

The Sabbath Day is so important to YHWH because He instituted The Sabbath during creation. He rested on the Sabbath and expects those who worship to keep the Sabbath as it is a sign between He and His people. Notice how YHWH spoke to Moses and rebuked the Israelites for collecting Manna on the Sabbath after He instructed them not to.

In Exodus 16:26-28

“Gather it six days, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there is none.” And it came to be that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. And YHWH said to Moses, “How long shall you refuse to guard My Commands and My Torah?”

As stated above, Exodus 16:28 proves that Sabbath rest was instituted before the Ten Commandments.  YHWH had commandments about keeping the Sabbath Day before He gave the Commands to Moses four chapters later in Exodus 20. Furthermore, YHWH said Torah again, so this is further proof that YHWH’s law was pre-existing and His commandments are eternal (everlasting) and Moses already knew what YHWH was referring to. How else what Moses had known in Exodus 16 before Mount Sinai in Exodus 20?

It’s time for ALL creation to wake up!

Psalms 119:150-152

“…They have been far from Your Torah. You are near, O YHWH, and all Your Commands are TRUTH Of OLD I have known Your Witnesses, that you have founded them FOREVER.” Verse 160-165 “The sum of Your Word is TRUTH, and Your righteousness Right-Rulings are FOREVER (ETERNAL). Rulers have persecuted me without a cause, but at Your Word my heart stood in awe. I rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great treasure. I have hated falsehood (lawlessness) and loathe it, Your Torah I have loved. I have praised You seven times a day, because of your righteous Right-Rulings. Great peace have those loving your Torah, and for them there is no stumbling-block.”

2 Esdras 3:5-8

“..And gave a body to Adam without being, which was the workmanship of Your hands, and breathed into him the breath of life, and he was made living before You. And You led him into paradise, which Your right hand had planted before the earth ever appeared. And You gave a Command to him to love Your Way; which he transgressed, and immediately You appointed death in him and in his generations, from whom came nations, tribes, people, and clans, without number. And ALL people walked after their OWN DESIRE, and acted arrogantly before You, and despised Your Commands.”

Do not be like those of the past generation and those now who are arrogantly walking in disobedience to YHWH’s Torah and Commandments especially since we now see that His Laws always existed therefore, All believers should be obedient as well.

Choose life!

2 Esdras 7:20-21

“For there are many who perish in the life, because they despise the Law of Elohim that is put before them. For Elohim has given a strict Command to those who came, what they should do to live, even as they came, and what they should observe to avoid punishment. What was the strict Command that we should live?

Deuteronomy 30:14-16

 “For the Word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart-to do it. “See, I have put before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I am commanding you today to love YHWH your Elohim, to walk in His Ways, and to guard His Commands, and His Laws, and His Right-Rulings.”

2 Esdras 7:22-24

“Nevertheless they were not obedient to Him; but spoke against Him, and plotted in vain; and deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said of the Most High, that He did not exist; and did not know His ways. But they have DESPISED HIS TORAH, and denied His Covenants; they have not been trustworthy in His Laws, and have NOT PERFOMED His works.” This ties right in with Isaiah 24..

Isaiah 24:5

“For the EARTH has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed My Torot (Torah plural), changed the law, broken the everlasting Covenant.”

The world has despised His Torah saying that it is “done away with” and not performed His Works, which is the exact opposite of what Christianity believes in. Christianity says we are saved by grace alone and there are no works we need to do. But we know that James said in James 2:20 “But do you want to know, O foolish man, that the faith without works is dead?” James understood that our Father YHWH expects of to perform the works of His Torah and Commands with actions and not by mouth alone. YESHUA died for us, but He told us that the lawless will not enter in heaven.

2 Esdras 7:72-74

“For this reason, therefore, those who live on earth shall be tortured, for though they had knowledge, they committed wickedness; and although they received the Commandments, they did guard (keep them); and though they obtained the Law, they dealt untrustworthily with what they had received. What then shall they have to say in the judgment, or how shall they answer in the last days? How long the Most High has been patient with the inhabitants of the WORLD! (Not just Jews) and not for their sakes, but because of the days that He has ordained.”

Job 28:26

“When He made a law for the rain, and a way for the lightning of thunder…”

Job 38:33

“Do you know the laws of the heavens? Or do you apply their rule over the earth?”

Ask yourselves this! If there is a law for the rain and laws in the holy heavens where YHWH, YESHUA, and the messengers dwell, and the heavens are greater than the earth, then how can human who is less than Them be without LAW? Be deceived no more! Let us ALL who follow YESHUA not only have the faith, but be obedient to His Commands. The Commandments are how we know Him and the Commandments are how we Love Him! Our Elohim knows what is laid up for those who walk in disobedience, so its time to wake up WORLD!

Share this with everyone who needs to hear this important message and may YHWH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
