Yom Teruah aka Trumpets 2020

Shalom to my fellow brothers and sisters in YESHUA ha’Mashiach. We are now entering the season of all the Fall Moedim (M0-ed-deem) which means Appointed times, Feasts/Fasts that YHWH ELOHIM commanded us to observe each year.

I’m going to go over each of the Appointed Times/Holy Days separately, ELOHIM willing. However, I want to tell everyone in advance the days you need to take off because they are Holy Days where you are not allowed to work:

September 23rd is Yom Teruah (Evening of September 22nd to evening of 23rd)

October 2nd is Yom Kippur (Evening of October 1st  to evening of October 2nd  )

October 7th (no work) is Sukkot which runs for 7 days and then no work on October 14th.

As mentioned above the first Holy Day is Yom Teruah/Trumpets which means “The Day of Shouting” is on the 23rd of this month which is equivalent to the 1st day of the 7th month in YHWH’s eyes.

YHWH commands us in Leviticus 23:23-24 saying:

"Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying, 'In the seventh month (Ethanim), on the first day of the month, you have a REST, a remembrance of blowing of trumpets, a holy gathering.” You DO NO SERVILE WORK, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to YHWH.”

I would just like to reiterate that you are not do any work on September 23rd (From the evening of the September 22nd to the evening of September 23rd.) Make sure you take this day off.

Numbers 10:10

“And in the day of your gladness, and in your Appointed Times, and at the BEGINNING OF YOUR MONTHS, you shall BLOW THE TRUMPETS, over your burnt offerings and over your peace offerings. And they shall be a remembrance for you before your ELOHIM. I am YHWH your ELOHIM.’

This makes a lot sense because Yom Teruah is on 1st day the beginning of the 7th month and it’s an Appointed Time and we will be blowing trumpets/shofars, which matches what YHWH said in Numbers 10:10. We are allowed to prepare food for the celebration and that is all you may do, being that it is a High-Sabbath but not a Shabbat Shabbaton such as the weekly 7th Day Sabbath or Yom Kippur which is a fasting day. Similarly to how cooking is all we can do on Feast of Unleavened Bread which occurs after Passover.

Numbers 29:1-6

“And in the seventh month, on the first of the month, you have a holy gathering, YOU DO NO SERVILE WORK, it is a Yom Teruah for you. And you shall prepare a burnt offering as a sweet fragrance to YHWH: one young bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones, and their grain offering: fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenth parts for the bull, two-tenth parts for the ram, and one-tenth part for each of the seven lambs, and one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you, besides the burnt offering with its grain offering for the New Moon, the continual burnt offering with its grain offering, and their drink offerings, according to their Right-Ruling, as a SWEET FRAGRANCE, an offering made by fire to YHWH.”

YESHUA is the Lamb of YHWH who takes away the sins of the world and offered Himself with His blood and not the blood of bulls and goats. It is important to see what YESHUA’s blood did for us and be thankful for this GIFT. YESHUA fulfills the animal offerings for us with His blood as He serves as High Priest in the heavens for us and His was the sweet fragrance that YHWH mentions in Numbers 29:1-6:

Ephesians 5:2

“And walk in love, as Mashiach (Messiah) also has loved us, and gave Himself for us, a gift and an offering to YHWH for a SWEET-SMELLING FRAGRANCE.”

We too need to offer up ourselves as a living sacrifice in our daily lives:

Romans 12:1

“I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of ELOHIM, to present your bodies a LIVING OFFERING-holy, well-pleasing to ELOHIM-your reasonable worship.”

1 Peter 2:4-5

“Drawing near to Him, a living Stone-rejected indeed by men, but chosen by YHWH and precious- you also, as living stones, are being built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL SLAUGHTER OFFERINGS acceptable to YHWH through YESHUA ha’Mashiach.”

Fact:

 Teruah (Teh-roo-ah) in Hebrew is defined in Strong’s #8643 as:

A shout or blast of war, alarm, joy, battle cry, blowing, blowing trumpets, joyful sound, resounding, shout, shout of alarm, shout of joy, shouted, shouting, shouts of joy, signal,  or trumpet blast.

Joshua 6:5-6:

"And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the horn, all the people shall shout with TERUAH (a great shout); and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him."

2 Chronicles 13:14-15

“And Judah turned and saw the battle was both in front and behind them. Then they cried out to YHWH, and the priests sounded the trumpets. And the men of Judah gave a shout (TERUAH). And it came to be as the men of Judah shouted, that ELOHIM smote Jaroboam and all Yisra’el before Abiyah and Judah

So just like Joshua at Jericho when they shouted to make the walls collapse, so did Abiyah son of Reoboam with Judah and YHWH remembered them.

1 Samuel 4:5-6 says:

"And when the ark of the Covenant of YHWH came into the camp, all of Yisra'el TERUAH (shouted) so loudly that the earth shook." And when the Philistines heard the noise of the Teruah, they said, 'What is the noise of this great Teruah in the camp of the Hebrews?"

Psalms 66:1

"Teruah (shout) with joy to ELOHIM, All the earth!" 

Psalms 100:1

Raise a Teruah (shout) for YHWH, All the earth!

There are four primary types of shofar blasts:

1.     Tekiah- A long single blast (the sound of the King’s coronation.)

2.     Shevarim- Three short wail-like blasts (signifying repentance)

3.     Teruah-Nine staccato blasts of alarm (to awaken the soul)

4.     Tekiah ha-Galol- a great long blast (for as long as you can blow!)

Numbers 10:9

“And when you go into battle in your land against the enemy that distresses you, then you shall SHOUT (TERUAH) with the trumpets, and you shall be remembered, before YHWH your ELOHIM, and you shall be saved from your enemies.”

Nehemiah 4:18-20

“As for the builders, each one had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the ram’s horn was beside me. And I said to the nobles, and to the deputy rulers, and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and large, and we are separated far from one another on the wall. In whatever place you hear the sound of the ram’s horn, join us there. Our Elohim fights for us.”

Mathew 24:31

“And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the shamayim to the other.”

Let us do as David said and TERUAH (SHOUT) all the earth with shouting and blowing the shofar! Does this day apply to Christians? Yes! Just as all YAHWEH’s Holy Days do:

Isaiah 56:6

“Also the sons of the foreigner (gentile/Christian) who JOIN themselves to YHWH, to serve Him, and to love the name of YHWH, to be His servants, ALL WHO GUARD THE SABBATHS, and not profane it, and hold fast to My Covenant.”

So in order for the gentile to join Himself to YHWH and be grafted in; they must keep the commandments just as the Native-born. YHWH has the weekly 7th Day Sabbath and all of His Holy Days/Feast Days are called Sabbaths too, which means they all apply for native-born and gentile.

Blessings to you in YESHUA ha’Mashiach's name,

Men and Women cover your bodies!

This is a topic that is uncomfortable for many, but as followers of YESHUA we are called to come out of the world and be separate.

Genesis 3:9-10

“And YHWH ELOHIM called unto Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” And he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.”

Jubilees 3:15-16

“And in the first week of the first Jubilee, Adam and his wife were in the Garden of Eden for seven years tilling and keeping it, and we gave him work and we instructed him to do all that is suitable for serving. And he tilled the garden, and was naked and was not aware of it, and was NOT ASHAMED…”

So we see that Adam tilled the garden naked and was NOT ASHAMED, but when he and Eve at the fruit that they became ashamed. Which is why it’s called covering the “shame of your nakedness”. Their sin changed everything from the shame of their nakedness to them being immortal to mortal, to thorns and thistles, sin and death.

Genesis 3:20-21

“And the man called his wife’s name Hawwah (Eve), because she became the mother of all living. And YHWH ELOHIM made COATS OF SKIN for the man and his wife and DRESSED THEM.”

So YHWH Himself clothed and dressed Adam and Eve after their sin, and covered the shame of their nakedness with coats of skin.

Jubilees 3:30-31

“And to Adam alone He gave the means to cover his shame (nakedness), of all the beasts and cattle. On this account, it is prescribed on the tablets of the heavens as regarding all those who know the Right-Ruling of the Torah, that they SHOULD COVER THEIR SHAME, AND SHOULD NOT UNCOVER THEMSELVES AS THE GENTILES UNCOVER THEMSELVES.”

Notice how he says they should not uncover themselves as the gentiles who are non-believers and don’t know YESHUA, meaning that those who claim to know Him and follow Him should know better. A believer should be set apart and now follow or do what the pagan nations around them are doing. A gentile that is grafted into the Nation of Yisra’el is no longer called a gentile but a fellow citizen of Yisra’el (Ger in Hebrew) as Paul explains in Ephesians 2:8-19). Similarly to what Paul says

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5

“For this is the desire of ELOHIM: your holiness!-that you should abstain from whoring, that each one of you should know how to possess his own vessel in holiness and respect, NOT in passion of lust, LIKE THE GENTILES WHO DO NOT KNOW ELOHIM..”

Jubilees 7:20

“And in the twenty-eight Jubilee Noah began to command his sons’ sons the Laws and Commands, and all the Right-Rulings that he knew, and he urged his sons to observe righteousness, and TO COVER THE SHAME OF THEIR FLESH, and to bless their Creator….”

Genesis 9:22-23

“And Ham, the dad of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his dad, and told his two brothers outside. So Shem and Yepeth took a garment, laid it on the both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their dad, but their FACES WERE TURNED AWAY, and they did not see their dad’s nakedness.”

Exodus 20:25

“And if you make Me an altar of stone, do not build it of cut stone, for if you use your chisel on it, you have profaned it. Nor do you go up by steps to My altar, lest your NAKEDNESS be exposed on it.”

So we see that YHWH does not want to see the nakedness of mankind which is why He did not even want steps on His altar. So when you come into the presence of YHWH for prayer make sure that you are covered up. Don’t get so comfortable that you are praying to Him with almost nothing on, cover yourselves.

Revelation 3:18

“I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, so that you become rich; and white garments, so that you become DRESSED, SO THAT THE SHAME OF YOUR NAKEDNESS MIGHT NOT BE SHOWN…”

Revelation 16:15

“See, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who is staying awake and guarding his garments, lest he walked NAKED AND THEY SEE HIS SHAME.”

This example shows that the righteous will look away as to not see the nakedness of someone even if it is a family member. However in the world today nakedness is in your face 24/7 so is has become acceptable. The enemy of this world has desensitized and deceived the world into making them think it is okay when it is not. But, once you come into Covenant with our ELOHIM we are to follow His Commands and not be like the gentiles who do not know ELOHIM!

This means no man should be showing his chest, wearing wife beaters to show muscles and no woman should be wearing short dresses, daisy dukes, and neither should be skinny dipping showing the world you nakedness. Both men and women will wear tight clothing for fashion reasons or to work out at the gym wearing spandex outfits that will outline their bodies for the whole world to see.

 1 Timothy 2:9 says:

“Likewise, that the women dress themselves becomingly, with decency and sensibleness, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly garments.”

The goal is to not to draw unnecessary attention to yourselves, but to let the world see YESHUA in you; meaning that you have died to self and no longer live to self. In our modern society there is sex on television and nakedness in the streets and pretty much wherever you go. I want to remind everyone that we are not even supposed to be watching nakedness or porn to TV, you are still seeing someone’s nakedness. YESHUA said that even if we lust after a woman in our own hearts we have already committed adultery

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.”

My fellow brothers and sisters we are not to cause others to stumble in their walks with YESHUA whether it be a man or woman. Cover up your bodies as to not be a stumbling block for someone who is still struggling in the flesh. It’s not supposed to be about you anyway. Many will say “If you can’t stop looking then that’s your own problem”, the problem with that statement is that you are still supposed to be covered up regardless!

Notice how you will see women in the Middle East and a few other cultures of women covering their entire bodies as to not cause a man to lust after them. Plus, they understand that the nakedness of a woman is for her husband to see only and not for the entire world to see. Though I do not believe in the Muslim faith I agree on how their women dress by covering up themselves. Even the men in Scripture wore long tunics or robes that movies show YESHUA wearing during His day.

However, justifications are made to make dressing or staring at nakedness okay just like with any other scripture that believers don’t want to obey. Men will say “I can look as long as I don’t touch.’ That’s an answer from Satan, because once you start gawking at the woman and imaging what you would do to her then you have committing adultery by lusting after her as YESHUA said. And women are not exempt for gawking and staring at a man’s nakedness and thinking of what they would do to him. This goes back to what I was saying earlier is that if you were covered up this wouldn’t happen to begin with. Most women will admit that when they wear revealing clothes they receive unwanted attention, but when they cover themselves including their hair, men show less interest or no interest at all.

This type of behavior has been accepted by our society instead of rejected by our society. We can look back no further than the 1950’s and see that women covered themselves. The way men and women dress today would not have been accepted in society no more than 70 years ago. Our Father YHWH speaks out against these things that the world says is normal and that is always the case, what He approves of the world will reject!

.What did men and women wear?

Men and women both wore tunics or robes with a sash which had to include tsistsit/tassels/fringes on them according to the command of YHWH which says:

Numbers 15:38-39

“Speak to the children of Yisra’el (including women), and you shall say to them to make tsitsit (tassels/fringes) on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and put a purple 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 whoring.”

So whatever tunic you wear make sure it contains the tsitsit/tassels/fringes for the man and the woman. There are many different styles of tunics and robes that can be worn just make sure it does not contain mixed fabrics, make sure it has fringes, and make sure the garment covers your body.

In an article by Charles Pope in 2017 titled “What Sort of Clothing did people in YESHUA’s Time wear?”

In everyday life, men and women alike wore garments often referred to as “tunics.” A tunic was a simple, one-piece robe, usually belted at the waist, with a hole for the head and two holes for the arms. People wore both an inner garment and an outer garment, each with a similar shape.

The inner garment (under clothing) resembled a long, loose-fitting T-shirt or a kimono (flat, T-shaped garment with square sleeves and a rectangular body, one piece garment). It was made of linen, cotton, or sometimes soft wool. For penitential (regret, wrongdoing, sinning, and repentance) reasons some would occasionally wear inner tunics made of sackcloth or camel hair. The earliest of these garments were made without sleeves and reached only to the knees; later the garment often extended to the wrists and ankles. A man wearing only this inner garment was said to be naked (e.g., 1 Samuel 19:24, Isaiah 20:2–4). Nothing at all was worn underneath the inner garment (except by Essene men, who wore a close-fitting loincloth).

The belt (also called a cincture or girdle) was a band of cloth, cord, or leather that could be loosened or tightened. It was worn around the inner and/or outer garment. Its use prevented the flowing robes (OFTEN LONG) from interfering with movement. The biblical expression “to gird up the loins” meant to put on the belt, thus freeing the lower legs to permit work and easy walking. The expression signified that the person was ready for service; it is largely equivalent to the modern expression, “roll up your sleeves.”

The outer tunic, also called a mantle or robe, was worn over the inner tunic. It consisted of a square or oblong strip of cloth with a hole for the head. Sometimes it had sleeves and sometimes was more like a poncho, with the area for the arms cut back. It was worn as a protective covering; people did not go out in public without some sort of outer tunic. A bag or purse was often attached to the belt, fastened with a buckle.

While most Israelite men and women wore LONG (ankle-length) tunics, short (knee-length) tunics were worn by slaves, soldiers, and those engaging in work that required mobility. ( I would like to add: Notice how those who were not slaves or working were fully covered with long robes or tunics going down to the ankles?, The only time the knee was exposed was to work when they girded up their loins to free themselves up for mobility.)

The cloak – In cooler weather, a cloak might be worn on top of these tunics. Cloaks could be designed either with sleeves or without.

Sandals were worn on the feet. They had wooden soles and were fastened with straps of leather. Jews did not wear sandals indoors; they removed them upon entering the house and washed their feet.

In terms of the basics, men and women dressed much alike. However, there were clearly differences because Scripture warns, A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the YHWH your ELOHIM (Deut 22:5).

For women, the inner garment was largely identical to that for men. However, the outer garment was longer, with enough border fringe to largely cover the feet (Isaiah 47:2).

So obviously a man should not wear panties as his inner garment nor should a woman put on boxers of a man as her inner garment. That would still be identical because a piece is covering the top and a piece is covering the bottom.

Isaiah 47:2

“Take the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up the skirt, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.”

This is clear evidence that women’s legs were covered with a long skirt, so that she had to lift up the skirt to pass through the river.

 The outer garment was cinched with a belt similar to that used by men, but it was ornamented differently (and usually more elaborately). In some regions, women’s outer garments sported different patterns than those worn by men. In addition, a woman might don an apron on top of the outer garment, in order to protect it and to enable her to carry things. The apron was usually attached to the belt and covered the lower half of the body.

The veil – There is debate as to how widespread the wearing of the veil was for Jewish women in Jesus’ day. It is certain that they wore them in the synagogue and the Temple (cf 1 Cor 11:15).

Genesis 24:64-65

“And Rebecca lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel, and she said to the servant, “Who is this man walking in the field to meet us? And the servant said, “It is my master.” So she took a VEIL AND COVERED HERSELF.”

Song of Songs 5:7

“The watchmen found me, who went about the city. They struck me, they bruised me; the keepers of the walls LIFTED MY VEIL FROM ME.”

Shoshanna 1:31-32 (Included in 1611 KJV)

“Now Shoshanna was a very delicate woman, and lovely to look at. And these wicked men commanded to UNCOVER HER FACE-for she was COVERED-that they might be filled with her loveliness.” Verse 1-3 “There dwelt a man in Babel, called Yoyaqim, and he took a wife, whose name was Shoshanna, the daughter of Hilqiyahu, a very lovely woman, and one that REVERED YHWH. Her parents were ALSO RIGHTEOUS, and taught their daughter according to the TORAH OF MOSES.”

So we see that Shoshanna was righteous and she feared YHWH; and her parents were also righteous and taught her according to the commandments of the Torah and we see that her face was covered.

Isaiah 47:2

“Take the millstones and grind flour. REMOVE YOUR VEIL, lift up the skirt, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.”

Those four scriptures are good indicators that women wore head coverings!

Now back to the article:

  It is also quite certain that unmarried women wore them. However, it is less evident that Jewish women wore them all the time, especially at home; some of them didn’t even wear them in public. It would seem that Jewish women in Roman Judea (i.e., the south, around Jerusalem, Jericho, and Bethlehem) wore hairnets, examples of which have been discovered at sites such as Masada.

So perhaps women did not wear a veil at all times as is now the custom in much of the Middle East. Other sources speak of the head covering being typical for both men and women and describe it as a length of cloth around the shoulders that could be pulled over the head and tied at the forehead, falling over the shoulders. Perhaps the veil or head covering was something that was used strategically, such as when one needed protection from the sun or wished to pray.

As always if you are still concerned about anything that was presented, please take it to our Father YHWH and His Son YESHUA in prayer, He is always faithful to respond to those who are truly seeking Him. And as always may YHWH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

Are we rehearsing on earth for what is to come?

After seeing so many being led astray by the false teaching surrounding Paul’s words in Colossians 2:16-17, it is necessary to address this situation because time is running for believers to wake up and accept the full truth. Paul said in Thessalonians that those who perish would perish because they refused to love the truth.

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

“And for this reason ELOHIM sends them a working of delusion, for them to believe the falsehood, in order that all should be judged who did not believe THE TRUTH, but have delighted in the unrighteousness.”

So ELOHIM will send a strong delusion to believers who say they know Him by sending a strong delusion because they have delighted in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS and refused THE TRUTH! What is the opposite of unrighteousness? It is Righteousness! So now let us see how The Scriptures define righteousness and truth?

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.”

So now armed with those two definitions we can go back to what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12; and we see that Paul is saying that ELOHIM will send a delusion for those who believe falsehood, because they have REJECTED the truth which is defined as the Torah/Laws; and have delighted in unrighteousness, which means they delighted in being “LAWLESS!” They did the exact opposite of what the definition of righteousness is by saying the law is done away with and did not obey the Torah, Laws, and Commands. These will perish because to them it’s “once saved always saved” and “saved by grace alone” “I can esteem any day I want while rejecting the Sabbath” this is the strong delusion that they have been following and believing a lie and not the truth.

Romans 1:18

“For the wrath of ELOHIM is revealed from the heavens against all wickedness and unrighteousness of men, who SUPPRESS THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.”

We see that people today and the Pastors have suppressed (hidden) the Truth which is defined as the Torah/Law in favor of unrighteousness which is (Lawless/doing away with the law), which is why so many are deceived by their false teachings.

Uncovering Colossians 2:16-17

Colossians 2:16-17

“Let no one therefore judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a Festival or a New Moon or Sabbaths-which are a SHADOW OF WHAT IS TO COME- but the Body of ha’Mashiach.”

This is the scripture that believers will point to and say “see you can’t judge me in Festival, Sabbaths or New Moons.” And with this mindset, lawless doctrines are formed making them believe that the commandments are “Just for the Jews” and they also believe that there is a law for the Jews of the Old Testament and another for the New Testament Christians. This is a huge lie because there is only ONE FAITH and ONE LAW for native-born and gentiles that are grafted in. Once you accept YESHUA as your Savior and keep the commandments that were NEVER DONE AWAY WITH you will be grafted into the nation of Yisra’el just as the native-born. It’s not New Testament it’s the Renewed Covenant founded on better promises through the Mediator of the New Covenant in YESHUA! So that means there are not even two different faiths let alone 51,000 different denominations of Christianity, which is why Paul says:

Ephesians 4:4-6

“ONE BODY, and ONE SPIRIT, as you also were called in ONE expectation of your calling, ONE MASTER, ONE FAITH, ONE IMMERSION (BAPTISM), ONE ELOHIM and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

So what was Paul saying in Colossians 2:16-17?

Paul is saying let no man judge you for knowing the TRUTH, because The Festivals (Leviticus 23), New Moons, and Sabbaths are PROPHETIC EVENTS that we will still be doing in the future when are YESHUA returns; therefore, do not let anybody judge you for obeying ELOHIM and keeping His Commandments, because we are REHEARSING ON EARTH for the arrival of YESHUA! And how do we know this?

Zechariah 14:16-19 says:

“Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, YHWH Almighty, and to celebrate the FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT (THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES). If ANY OF THE PEOPLES OF THE EARTH do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the king, YHWH Almighty, they will have no rain. If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. YHWH will bring on them the plague He inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate The FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT (THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES). This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of ALL the nations that do not go up to celebrate the FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT (THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES).”

So we see that when YESHUA comes to reign for 1,000 years on the earth that ALL NATIONS including the Egyptian will have to come up to Jerusalem to celebrate The Festival of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) or have no rain. This points exactly to what Paul was saying about the Festivals being “a prophetic shadow of what is to come.” If the entire world will have to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles when YESHUA returns, then how is the law done away with? Or if the law just for the Jews, then why do the ALL NATIONS including the Egyptians having to celebrate it? We know the Egyptians are not native born Israelites/Jews. And where is Sukkot aka The Feast of Tabernacles found? We find it in the Torah that Christianity says is done away with.

 Leviticus 23:34

“Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT (FEAST OF TABERNACLES) for seven days to YHWH.”

 Deuteronomy 16:13-15

 “Perform the FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT (FEAST OF TABERNACLES) for seven days after the ingathering from your threshing floor and from your winepress, and you shall rejoice in your Festival, you and your son and your daughter, and your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite, and the STRANGER (GENTILE) and the fatherless and the widow who are within our gates.”

So the same Festival that YHWH commanded us to observe in the Old Covenant will be celebrated when YESHUA comes!

 The Sabbath Day

Isaiah 66:22-23

 “For as the NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH that I make stand before Me,” declares YHWH, “so your seed and your name shall stand. And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, ALL flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares YHWH.”

 So again we see during the 1,000 reign with the new heaven and earth that YHWH has made, He says from New Moon to New Moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath that ALL (not some) flesh will worship Him. This again is a prophetic shadow of what will happen when YESHUA comes just as Paul said. And we can see the Sabbath will still be observed as also the New Moon that Paul spoke about.

Ezekiel gives us a prophecy of the 1,000 year reign and even gives details about what the Temple of YHWH will look like in Chapter 41. Does Ezekiel still say the Sabbath and New Moon will be observed?

 Ezekiel 46:1

“Thus said the Adon (Master) YHWH, “The gate of the inner courtyard facing east is shut the six days of work, but on the SABBATH it is opened, and on the day of the NEW MOON it is opened.”

Passover

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

“For I received from the Adon (Master) that which I also delivered to you: that the Adon

 YESHUA in the night 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 remembrance 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 remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you PROCLAIM THE DEATH OF THE ADON UNTIL HE COMES.”

 So we are to observe Passover every year to proclaim the death of YESHUA until He comes as remembrance of Him! So if you aren’t observing Passover then you aren’t remembering Him as YESHUA says. And when YESHUA comes we will be observing Passover with Him in the Kingdom!

Mathew 26:26-29

 “And as they were eating, YESHUA took bread, and having blessed, broke and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat, this is My body.” And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood, that of the Renewed Covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. But I say to you, I shall certainly NOT DRINK OF THIS FRUIT OF THE VINE FROM NOW ON TILL THAT DAY WHEN I DRINK IT ANEW WITH YOU IN THE REIGN OF MY FATHER.”

 Micah 4:1-2

 “And in the LATTER DAYS it shall be that the mountain of the House of YHWH is established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills. And PEOPLES SHALL FLOW TO IT. AND MANY NATIONS shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH, to the House of ELOHIM of Jacob, and let Him teach us HIS WAYS, and let us walk in His paths. For out of Zion comes forth the Torah, and the Word of YHWH from Jerusalem.”

 So again, we see the prophetic picture of YESHUA reigning in Jerusalem for 1,000 years and all the nations will come to learn the Way of YHWH and even the Torah is mentioned. Notice how Micah says the nations will say “and let Him teach us His Ways?” How is “The Way” defined in Scripture?

Psalms 119:1

 “Blessed are the perfect in THE WAY, WHO WALK IN THE TORAH OF YHWH.”

 So we see that “The Way” points right back to the Torah the commandments that Christianity says are done away with. Yet we see the Torah being kept and being taught when YESHUA comes. Those who are alive living outside the gates of Jerusalem (those not reigning with YESHUA) during the 1,000 year reign are going to have to come up to learn the Torah and we already have seen how The Festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths will still be observed. So I encourage everyone to learn His Ways now! And just to show that the scripture from Micah is a prophecy we can look at :

Micah 4:7 which says:

 “And I shall make the lame a remnant, and the outcast a strong nation. And YHWH shall reign over them in Mount Zion, from now on and forever.” And we all know that this has not happened yet.

 Paul’s words confirmed

These Moedim/Appointed Times/Festivals/Holy Days remind us of the things that YHWH has done and what He plans to do, and also points to the coming of our MASTER YESHUA!

So again Paul’s words are confirmed that everything we do on earth is a rehearsal and a prophetic shadow of what is to come. The Sabbath, New Moon, and all of the Festivals found in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16 which are Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Shavuot/Pentecost, Yom Teruah/Trumpets, Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement, Festival of Sukkot/The Feast of Tabernacles, and the 8th Day Closing assembly were never done away, people just twisted Paul’s words because they wanted them to be done away with!

 If The Torah and Festivals are not important, then why are they still being observed when YESHUA returns? The word miqra in Strong’s #4744 (mik-raw) in Hebrew means an assembly, a holy convocation, a reading, or REHEARSEL. So not only does YHWH want to meet with us on these important Holy Days, He also wants us to gather together as an assembly and rehearse these Festivals/Holy Days forever because they do not end on this present earth. YHWH has commanded His people to observe and practice these Feasts because they are “dress rehearsals” for the coming of our King YESHUA and we must be ready. We know that rehearsal is the practice of something in order to perfect it before the “real event” or finale and that is what He expects from us

  So if you aren’t rehearsing them now, then how will you be ready for the finale when YESHUA returns?

Don’t forget that we will be serving YHWH and YESHUA as kings and priests:

Revelation 1:5-6

“And from YESHUA ha’Mashiach, the trustworthy Witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us KINGS AND PRIESTS to His ELOHIM and Father, to him be esteem and rule forever and ever. Ahmein.”

Revelation 5:9-10

“And they sang a renewed song, saying, “You are worthy to be take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and have redeemed us to YHWH by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and made us KINGS AND PRIESTS to our ELOHIM, and we shall reign upon the earth.”

Revelation 20:6

“Blessed and holy is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death possesses no authority over these, but they shall be PRIESTS of YHWH and of Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”

On earth as it is in heaven

Many believers recite the words when saying the “Master’s Prayer” prayer, but they hold a deeper meaning than they ever noticed. “Our Father who are in heaven let Your Name be holy, let Your reign come, let Your desire be done on earth as it is in the heavens.” This should be one of the greatest indicators that we are rehearsing on earth to what is done in heaven.

The thing is that we can’t do it on our own, we need the grace of YESHUA with His blood atonement, but also as the Holy Spirit.

Ezekiel 36:26

“And I shall give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. And I shall take the heart of stone out of your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh, and put My Spirit within you. And I shall cause you to walk in My Laws and guard My Right-Rulings and shall DO THEM”

 Ecclesiastes 12:13

 “Let us hear the conclusion of the ENTIRE matter: Revere (fear) ELOHIM and guard His Commands, for this is to ALL MANKIND! (Not just the Jews!)”

As always may our Father YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!

The Pharmacy DECEPTION! Do you trust in pills?

Revelation 18:23

 “And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you any more at all. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you any more at all. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your DRUG SORCERY (Greek word pharmakeia) all the nations were led astray.”

Notice the words in Revelation 18:23 is DRUG SORCERY in English and Pharmekia in Greek? When your doctor writes you a prescription and sends you to the pharmacy to get them, what are the pills called? Aren’t they called prescription DRUGS?

Strong's #5332: pharmakeus is from pharmakon (a drug, i.e. spell-giving potion); a druggist ("pharmacist") or poisoner, i.e. (by extension) a magician:--sorcerer.

We can now see where the word “pharmacy” comes from and the ties to drug sorcery, so technically this is another tactic “hiding in plain sight.” This is a very important topic because we know that most of the world is on medication and have been trained to run to the doctor for everything. Has the world lost sight of YHWH? Is this a big-time deception that most of the world has overlooked?

Thayer's Greek Lexicon:

pharmakeus

1) one who prepares or uses magical remedies

2) sorcerer

Part of Speech: noun masculine

Relation: from pharmakon (a drug, i.e. spell-giving potion)

The defitintion of pharmakie Greek Pharmakeia #5331 is ‘medication, magic, witchcraft, poisoning, the use of administrating drugs. And all the nations were led astray by this and we know this is true because most of the world relies on medication from these institutions to “heal them”. Am I saying that people are bad and evil because they used medication? No! What I’m saying is the world has been deceived into this deception and unknowingly just go with the flow and we can see from scripture that pharmaceuticals is a part of the Babylon deception we are called to come out of it. We know as followers of YESHUA our goal is not to go with the flow, but to walk in truth at all costs no matter how the world views it, and that is what this message is about.

I was led to two different articles that were written that sum up everything that needs to be said on this topic, so I have included them below. I wanted to start off with the definition of drug sorcery from its original word; and I’m sure the rest will be an eye opener for you.

Stunning Hebrew discovery: when «healing» turns to «pharma»

septiembre 1, 2017 por Tzvi ben Daniel

Little did I know at this point, how the Father was about to reveal to us something amazing about a different word in this verse!

I had written a short comment on the word מרפא (MaRPe) – «healing», and its inaccurate translation into the Spanish version of the Bible when Harold, one of my coworkers, pointed out that one of the volunteers we had sent this text to for proofreading, had marked a correction on that very word, IN THE HEBREW!

It turns out in the original file we had it right, as מרפא (MaRPe) – «healing», but in the file this volunteer had received, the Word had mixed up the letters only to reveal us a mystery.
The weird thing was that Word did not just reverse the Hebrew letters as it normally does, but it had strangely rearranged them in a different order to form a different word that I IMMEDIATELY recognized, not being Hebrew in origin, but being very popular and significant in the times we live in.

This is how the word appeared: 

Now, if you can read Hebrew you probably can already identify the word. If not, before I give it away, let me make the point once more:

The word  מרפא  (MaRPe)  means  «healing»

Only one letter needs to be switched in order to form the word פרמא

And… Here it is: 

I was BLOWN AWAY!!!

By simply switching the «pey» with the «mem», Yah used Microsoft Word to show us a deep mystery.

The word that in Hebrew means HEALING was turned to PHARMA!!!

The adversary perverts and manipulates what the Creator has given us. «Pharma» is a modern term that is defined as «pharmaceutical companies collectively as a sector of industry.»

We know that the pharmaceutical industry «appears» to heal people, but in reality is looking after its own profit. The business is really, having people sick, and not healing them. It is a perversion of «MaRPe», the true healing that the Father provides for those «that fear His Name». (Show how the letters were rearranged)

In addition, the term «Pharma» is derived from the Greek pharmakeia -φαρμακεύς (G5332)- which is not limited to the administration of drugs but has to do with witchcraft and sorcery, as we see in this verse for example:

Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries (pharmakeia), G5331nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Revelation 9:21

Now, I do believe that the Almighty created everything to be of good use to mankind, but the fallen ones had taught a perversion of what was given in purity.

In the same way, His MaRPe – healing was perverted into PhaRMa. Remember, it looks SO close to the original word, it may even sound similar, but it leads to death.

To leave you all with hope, I want to close this by coming back full circle to the original promise given to «all who fear His Name». Our future is bright and there is nothing for us to fear, except the One that can kill both, body AND soul.

Malachi 4:2

But unto you that fear my Name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing (MaRPe!) in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

As always Satan did his law of reversal and we can see the word Marpe in Pharma scrambled around. The last three letters of Pharma are “RMA” The first three letters of Marpe are “MAR”.

Herbs and plants are what YHWH considers medicine

Before moving on to the next article I would like to add more definitions and scriptures proving that YHWH considers plants and herbs as medicine: In the verb raphe in Hebrew means to cure, heal, repair, mend, or restore health. The noun marpe, derived from “rophe” (one who heals) means restoration of health, remedy, cure, medicine, tranquility, deliverance, or refreshing.

 If you notice the word marpe includes medicine in the definition, but what kind of medicine is our Father YHWH referring to?

Sirach 38:1-6

“Esteem a physician with the esteem due to him for the uses which you may have for him: For YHWH has created him. For healing comes from the Most High, and He shall receive esteem from the king. The skill of the physician shall raise his head; and in the sight of great men he shall be admired. YHWH has created MEDICINES OUT OF THE EARTH; and he who is wise DOES NOT REJECT THEM. Was not the water made sweet with wood, that its power might be known? And He has given men skill, that He might be esteemed by His marvelous works.”

So, we see that YHWH has created the physician and he will be admired for his knowledge, but YHWH is the one who brings the healing. Then we see that YHWH says He gave us MEDICINE FROM THE EARTH and not pills or laboratory science projects, then He goes on to say that the WISE WILL NOT REJECT THEM, because it’s natural.

YHWH has given the physician the wisdom to be able to heal naturally by knowing which plants can heal certain diseases and I love how Sirach points out that WOOD which comes from the earth made the water sweet. Not all doctors are bad or involved in the pharmakeia poison, some are good holistic doctors like what Dr. Sebi was doing who believes all disease is caused by mucus in the body from an acidic environment. These are the types of Physicians that would have been available in ancients times using natural remedies, not the recent Pharma deception.

Jubilees 10:10-13

“And one of us He (YHWH) commanded that we (angels) should teach Noah all their medicines; for He knew that they would not walk in uprightness, nor strive in righteousness. And we did according to all His words; all the wicked evil ones we bound in the place of condemnation, and a tenth part of them we left that they might be subject before Satan on the earth. And we explained to Noah all the medicines of their diseases, together with their accomplishments, how he might HEAL THEM WITH THE HERBS OF THE EARTH. And Noah wrote down all matters in a Book as we instructed him concerning every KIND OF MEDICINE (HERBS).”

Revelation 22:1-2

“And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of YHWH and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was a tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. And the LEAVES OF THE TREE WERE FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS.”

Wisdom 7:20

“The nature of living creatures, and the raging wild beasts; the violence of winds, and the reasonings of men; the DIVERSITIES OF PLANTS AND THE POWER OF ROOTS.”

Psalms 104:14

“Causing the grass to grow for the cattle, AND PLANTS FOR THE SERVICE OF MANKIND, to bring forth food from the earth…”

A brief example of this is that any take Tylenol for headaches, but the natural cure for headaches and migraines is Mullein leaf. YHWH gave us herbs, plants, and oils from seeds and fruit to heal us.

Back to the deception of modern medicine

Some are blindly administering what they were taught in medical school and may not know what it is they are doing, but prayerfully their eyes will be opened. Modern doctors will take extracts out of a natural food or herbs and stick them into a pill will all kinds of poisons and say they are the ones who healed you.

Globalhealthmagz.com adds:

In the early 1900’s, John D. Rockefeller and his affiliates pushed to introduce licensing laws for medical practitioners that basically ILLEGALIZED NATURAL MEDICINE. They illegalized natural medicine with licensing laws: that’s the Rockefeller play-book.

People were sold on pharmaceuticals when well-off Europeans took petroleum derivatives, chemical dyes, and similar chemicals and they tried to make drugs out of them.

Pharmaceuticals originate from a time when coal tar derivative dyes and drugs were interchangeable: chemicals in coal tar were altered, turned into both dyes and drugs.

In fact, coal tar derivatives are still used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals today, and toxic coal tar dyes persist today as well.

Coal tar was initially considered a filthy, useless industrial waste product, a result of gas production from coal. However, it would become the foundation of European dyestuffs industry, and pharmaceutical drugs would be made from those chemicals. Bayer manufactured dyes, until a shift when European chemical companies expanded into pharmaceuticals in the 1880’s and 90’s.  In the last years of the 1800’s, European chemical companies figured out how to make drugs out of their chemicals.

In 1898, Bayer began selling patented Diacetylmorphine as heroin. Bayer had a major success with Aspirin in 1899.

Aspirin and Heroin were two drugs which grew Bayer into what it is today.

Bayer aggressively promoted their “Heroin,” a product of boiling opium, as a children’s cough medicine, or for adults, claiming it was not addictive.

Now let’s take a look at the second article on this subject:

Pathwaytopeace.net reveals some shocking information: By Pastor Cary Rodgers Jr.

By the “sorceries” of Babylon all nations were deceived. The Greek word for “sorceries” in verse 23 is “pharmakeia” [far-mak-i’-ah]. According to the Thayer Greek Dictionary “pharmakeia” is “the use or administering of drugs; poisoning; and sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it.” If you put the original Greek word “pharmakeia” in place of the English word “sorceries” the end of verse 23 would say, “For by thy pharmakeia were ALL nations deceived”! “Pharmakeia” is where we get our English word “pharmacy”! Pharmacy is a well-organized and professionalized system that administers poisonous drugs. The Bible reveals that Babylon will deceive all nations by the use of pharmacy that is in connection to “magical arts” and idolatry. “Magical arts” has its deep roots in witchcraft and the occultic world. We don’t have to do a deep Bible study to know that Satan is directly behind the magical arts and God’s people should have nothing to do with it. Professed deceived Christians today use “magical arts” under the disguise of contemplative prayer, “Christian” humanism, and spiritual formation. In general those involved in sorcery, witchcraft, and magic are known to use “magic” potions to “heal”, deceive, poison, control, or kill someone.

Pharmacy mainly uses a mixture of toxic chemicals, metals, and/or synthetic elements to produce “pharmaceuticals” that are designed to manipulate the biochemistry or metabolic functions of the body in an attempt to get a “desired” affect in the treatment of a disease or sickness. In other words, pharmacy mixes up different types of poison, package it, patent it, and claims that it can treat certain types of diseases. The main problem with that system is that poison is poison. Pharmaceutical drugs are poisonous. When poison is put into the body it has negative effects on the entire body system from head to toe. These are not just “side effects” or “unintended” sicknesses or diseases that a person suffers as a result of using a drug. These are “direct effects” because the reality is that drugs have direct effects on the entire body system including the brain. When you go back to Revelation 18:23, Jesus uses the Greek word “pharmakeia” to reveal to us the main thing that will be used to deceive ALL people in the last days is a well-organized system of administering poisonous drugs to billions of people that are not only toxic to the organs of body, but have direct negative effects on the brain. Many of these drugs used for a variety of reasons are known to cause problems with memory, mood, and contribute to negative personality changes.

Who is the main one behind the system of pharmacy and the administering of poisonous drugs that Babylon uses to deceive all nations? A logo or symbol reveals the values and the purpose of a business, organization, or professional occupation. They use a logo or symbol as an identifying “mark” to the world. In other words, that logo makes a direct link to a business or occupation. When a person thinks of the “swoosh” they immediately think of the Nike corporation. The symbols and logos of modern medicine clearly reveal who is behind the scenes orchestrating the whole system of the administering of poisonous drugs that manipulate the bodies and minds of billions of people around the world. Let’s just look at three recognizable symbols and unmask the truth!

Figure A: Bowl of Hygieia (Bowl with the snake in it) The symbol in Figure A is the international symbol for pharmacy known as the “Bowl of Hygieia.” Who is Hygieia? Hygieia comes from Greek mythology. Mythology is the study of myths, or lies and pagan false gods. In other words, though it is not true, millions worship it as if it is true. Who is the father of lies? Satan. According to Greek pagan worship, Hygieia is the goddess of health and hygiene, the daughter of Aesculapius. He is the god of medicine, healing, and physicians.

Ettie Rosenberg, a doctor in pharmacology and attorney describes the meaning of the Bowl of Hygieia. She says, “The ‘Bowl of Hygieia’ symbol is the most widely recognized international symbol of pharmacy. In Greek mythology, Hygieia was the daughter and assistant of Aesculapius, the God of Medicine and Healing. Hygieia’s classical symbol was a bowl containing a medicinal potion with the serpent of Wisdom (or guardianship) partaking it. This is the same serpent of Wisdom, which appears on the caduceus, the staff of Aesculapius, which is the symbol of medicine.” - Ettie Rosenberg, Pharm.D., Esq.

Figure B is a picture of the statue of Hygieia. Notice the serpent drinking the magic potion from the “bowl of wisdom”. In Genesis 3:1-14, Satan, known as the serpent, used a serpent to deceive Eve. Verse 1 reveals that this serpent was “more subtle” meaning that it was thin or very light, not dense or gross, but smooth and refined in order to accomplish its deceptive purpose. Figure B: “Hygieia”

In verse 6, Eve believed the serpent’s subtle lies. Thinking that she could become wise, Eve disobeyed God by eating from the tree that God said not to eat from. In verse 13 after eating the fruit from the forbidden tree, Eve acknowledged that the serpent deceived her. When a person is deceived, are they aware of it? According to Webster’s dictionary to deceive means “to cause to believe what is false.” So when people are deceived, they really believe the lie. Notice Satan used the serpent to deceive Eve so she would believe the lie. This serpent drinking from the “bowl of wisdom” is from Satan. It represents the deceptive character of Satan that is still deceiving people today. Should God’s people have anything to do with this deception?

Figure C is known Figure C: Rod of Aesculapius as the staff of Aesculapius. His rod represents the healing aspects of the art of medicine. Many Christians think that this symbol is the same as the serpent of brass that Moses put on a pole, but it is not. The serpent on the rod of Aesculapius is a counterfeit to Moses’ bronze serpent on the pole. This counterfeit symbol gives a false message that the serpent is wise and harmless.

Remember, the serpent on the rod of Aesculapius is the same serpent that is drinking from the Bowl of Hygieia. The message that the serpent of this satanic symbol is also giving is that it is okay to take the poisonous “magic potent” from the bowl. These symbols that are used to represent the professions of pharmacy and medicine are giving a deceptive message from Satan that taking poisonous drugs are wise and has the power to heal and not kill. This is a lie! Those who submit to this poisonous counterfeit system will be swept away.

Figure D is a statue of Aesculapius with his rod wrapped with the “Snake of Wisdom”. This “Snake of Wisdom” is seen throughout the symbolism of the modern medical profession. It is in the symbol of the American Medical Association, an association that set the standards for physicians and the medical profession in America. It is found in the middle of the logo of the World Health Organization. It is also found on the logos of medical schools, doctor offices, and many other medical organizations. Figure D: Statue of Aesculapius

Figure E: Caduceus The next symbol in Figure E really sums up who is really behind the poisonous drugging system of Babylon. Figure E is another symbol recognized throughout the medical field, it is known as the “caduceus.” A caduceus has two serpents mating around a rod, topped by a pair of wings. The caduceus, also known as a magic wand, belongs to the Greek god Hermes or the Roman god Mercury. These gods are supposed to be the messengers of gods, inventors of magic, communicators to the “dead” and one who protects business and thieves (drblayney.com/ Asclepius.html). Many in witchcraft and sorcery still use the caduceus for magic and to cast spells. Also the caduceus in sorcery is known to “restrain and control” its victims.

In Greek mythology and the occultic world the caduceus had nothing to do with medicine, healing or health. So why has modern medicine adopted the caduceus as their symbol of medicine? Remember its original function and meaning. Who holds the caduceus? The false god of Mercury holds it. What is his claim? Inventor of magic, conductor of the dead, protector of merchants, thieves, and to restrain and control is his claim! Could it be that modern medicine has adopted the caduceus as their symbol of medicine and physicians to PROTECT the merchants of the earth that make billions of dollars poisoning people and to protect the corporate thieves and to control and restrain masses of people? This may shock you. Even though the caduceus had nothing to do with healing or medicine, an officer in the U.S. ARMY Medical Corps in 1902 insisted to adopt the caduceus as their symbol. Since then others in the medical profession began to adopt the caduceus as a symbol of medicine or physicians.

Let’s lift the veil of what the caduceus really means. In the occultic world, Satan depicts himself as a goat known as Baphomet with two wings and a caduceus (two snakes crossing each other) between his crossed legs! Yes, Baphomet has a caduceus between his legs. Look at the pictures in Figure F and compare. Here is the direct link between the poisonous practices of modern medicine through pharmakeia and Satan. Satan is behind this drugging system. A caduceus is actually an abbreviated version of Baphomet, Satan himself.

Figure F: Baphomet Do you think YESHUA is a part of this system? NO. Should true Christians be a part of this drugging system? No. This systematic poisoning is of Babylon and God’s people need to get out. We need to learn nature’s way of healing that God approves of through lifestyle and plant-based eating and herbs.

Did you know that the “father” of pharmacology was an occultist? He was a worshiper of Satan! Born as Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim in 1493, he called himself Paracelsus. He was well known as a Swiss German physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and general occultist. He founded the field of toxicology better known as pharmacy. For hundreds of years physicians used natural herbs and food for healing. Paracelsus defied this notion. From his studies on chemistry and metallurgy with the mix of occultic worship and astrology, he theorized that metals such as mercury, lead, tin, copper, and gold could “purify” the body. He believed that the stars and planets were the main cause of human illness and disease. He believed that ALL diseases should be treated with metals which are poisonous to the body. This was a very radical practice during his time. He treated many diseases with mercury better known as quicksilver. Many physicians who bought into Paracelsus method and used quicksilver (mercury), also known as Quack Salber, were known as “quacks”. This was a very rebellious way of treating the body at the time (Jethro Kloss, Back to Eden, 2nd ed., pp. 52, 53). Many died as a result of Paracelsus way of treatment. At 50 or 51 years old the story is told that Paracelsus was thrown out the window by other physicians at the time who believed him to be very dangerous in 1541. It is amazing today that Paracelsus is known as the father of modern pharmacy! Where did he get his inspiration? Baphomet, Satan!

This system of Paracelsus is the foundation in which modern medicine is built. It has killed and poisoned millions of people. Pharmaceutical drugs never cure disease – they only try to manage it by inhibiting or manipulating a function in the body that is supposed to happen naturally. In a June 2010 report in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, authors said that in looking over records that spanned from 1976 to 2006 they found that out of 62 million death certificates, 25 million deaths were coded as having occurred in a hospital setting due to medication errors. The total number of deaths due to the American modern medical system of drugging, unnecessary surgeries, infections, medical errors, etc., is nearly 800,000 people per year! This is more than people who die from heart disease with over 600,000 deaths per year and cancer with over 500,000 deaths per year. - articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/ archive/2003/11/26/death-by-medicine-part-one.aspx

This system of administering poisonous drugs worldwide is a trillion dollar industry and the medical merchants of the earth profit greatly from it. They love the money it produces and ignore the many lives it destroys. Millions worship the system as an idol.

Poisonous drugs are NOT a cure for disease. Many who prescribe and administer pharmaceutical drugs will admit it. If drugs cured disease, why are many who are being treated for diseases prescribed to take drugs until the day they die. This does not sound like a cure but a money making hoax.

What message does the Bible give for those in pharmakeia – the poison of Babylon? Galatians 5:20-21says

20 Idolatry, witchcraft [pharmakeia], hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” The Greek word for “witchcraft” in verse 20 is pharmakeia. Those who are in this poisoning drugging business need to repent and turn away from it. If they do not repent they will not inherit the kingdom of God. This is confirmed in the book of Revelation. Revelation 21:8 says, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers [pharmakeus =druggist/poisoner], and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” The Greek word for sorcerers in verse 8 is “pharmakeus” defined as a druggist or poisoner. This is repeated in the last chapter of the Bible. Revelation 22:14, 15 says, 14“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers [pharmakeus = druggist], and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”

Pharmakeia is a part of Babylon. This is what the Bible predicts that Babylon would use to deceive all nations. You don’t have to be deceived. There is no way to be a part of God’s true people at the end of time and be connected with this system of administering poisonous drugs that manipulate and confuse the mind. This comes from Satan himself. You have seen the evidence. Babylon is fallen, get out before it is too late. It is a broken and poisonous system, “GET OUT” is ELOHIM’s earnest plea.

(This would tie into the world waiting for the pharmaceutical companies and Gates to produce a poisonous cure to so-called “saved the world from the virus.” People are terrified and will do whatever these people tell them. Same for the hypochondriacs who live in fear and go the doctor every other day as if they can save them. Most of the world is on some type of medication from these companies so it makes sense that this would be a huge deception that the people of YHWH should avoid. YHWH is Rapha our ELOHIM who heals with marpe! Trust in Him and use His natural means of herbs for medicines.

As always if you are in doubt take this to our Father YHWH and His Son YESHUA in prayer! May YHWH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name.

Endure with patience and never complain!

James 1:2-4

“My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the proving of your belief works endurance. And let endurance have a perfect work, so that you be perfect and complete, lacking naught.”

Be joyful whenever you go through trials in this life because our Father YHWH is proving you! He tells us in His Word that He will try us to see who is faithful and trustworthy through all trials! Most people will complain when trials come and they figured that they are unjustly being punished. But can look no further than the account of Job. Job was a righteous man, but only went through trials because YHWH knew that Job would not curse Him, He knew Job would be faithful.

Job 1:8

“And YHWH said to ha’Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and straight man, one who reveres ELOHIM and turns aside from evil?”

So Satan was able to have free reign on Job except for his life and the permission of YHWH, but we see at the end that Job got back twice as much as he had in the beginning. The tests and trials are to make you stronger so that you’re roots are deeply planted and nothing will be able to move you. Bless and praise the Name of YHWH when things are going good and when they are not, we are to praise Him at all times!

A lot of people give up when they lose a child, lose their job, or simply have a bad day. But the truth is you don’t know what YHWH has planned for you. Do you think Job knew that he would be restored with twice as much at the time he was being afflicted? Job said it best:

Job 2:9-10

“And his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse ELOHIM and die!” But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Indeed, should we accept good from ELOHIM, and not accept evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.”

We know that YESHUA is our example for how we are supposed to live by being righteous keeping the commandments and to endure under trials. Remember, a servant is not greater than his Master.

1 John 2:6

“The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.”

And knowing this we know that YESHUA was tested in the wilderness:

Mathew 4:1

“Then YESHUA was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be TRIED by the devil.”

Jubilees 17:17-18

“And YHWH knew that Abraham was trustworthy in all his afflictions; for He had TRIED him through his land and with scarcity of food, and had TRIED him with the wealth of kings, and had TRIED him again through his wife, when she was taken, and with circumcision, and had TRIED him through Ishmael and Hagar, his female servant, when he sent them away. And in all in which He had TRIED him, he was found trustworthy, and his being was NOT IMPATIENT, and he was not slow to act; for he was trustworthy and loved YHWH.”

Jubilees 19:1-9

“And in the first year of the first week, in the forty-second Jubilee, Abraham returned and dwelt opposite Hebron, that is Qiryath Arba, fourteen years. And in the first year of the third week of this Jubilee the days of the life of Sarah were accomplished, and she died in Hebron. And Abraham went to mourn over her and bury her, and we TRIED HIM, if his spirit was PATIENT in this, and was not disturbed, for in patience of spirit he spoke with the children of Heth, to the intent that they should give him a place in which to bury his dead. And YHWH gave him favor before all who saw him, and he pleaded with the sons of Heth, and they gave him the land of the cave of Makpelah opposite Mamre, that is Hebron, for four hundred pieces of silver. And they pleaded with him, saying, “We shall give it to you for naught!” But he would not take it from their hands for naught, for he gave the price of the place, the silver in full, and he bowed down before them twice; and after this he buried his dead in the cave of Makpelah. And all the days of the life of Sarah were one hundred and twenty-seven years, that is, two Jubilees and four week and one year: these are the days of the years of the life of Sarah. This the TENTH TRIAL which Abraham was TRIED, and he was found trustworthy, PATIENT IN SPIRIT. And he did not speak; not a single word regarding the report in the land how that ELOHIM had said that He would give it to him and to his seed after him. And he pleaded a place there to bury his dead; for he was found trustworthy, and was recorded on the tablets of the heavens as the friend of ELOHIM.”

Exodus 16:2-4

“And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’el grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. And the children of Yisra’el said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of YHWH in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to satisfaction! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.” And YHWH said to Moses, “See, I am raining bread from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, in order to TRY THEM, whether they walk in My Torah or not.”

In order for YHWH to know what is in your heart, He must try you to see if you will be patient, complain, or be disobedient. And we see the children of Yisra’el failed at this by complaining every time a new obstacle was presented. Everything from saying that wish that they would have die before YHWH parted the Red Sea though Moses, to complaining about having no water, to complaining about not having bread and meat, etc. Examine your life ask yourself is this you? Does each blessing that YHWH give you get nullified at every trial that comes your way? Are you forgetting all the good He has done?

2 Chronicles 32:26-31

“Then Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of YHWH did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah. Verse 31 “However with the envoys of the princes of Babel, whom they sent to ask him about the wonder that was done in the land, ELOHIM left him, in  order to TRY HIM, to know ALL THAT WAS IN HIS HEART.”

Revelation 3:7-10

“And to the messenger (angel) of the assembly of Philadelphia write, ‘He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens, says this: “I know your works-see, I have put before you an open door, and no one is able to shut it-that you have little power, yet have guarded My Word, and have not denied My Name. See, I am giving up those of the congregation of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie. See, I am making them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall guard you from the hour of trial which shall come upon all the world, TO TRY THEM who dwell on the earth.”

You will be tried like gold in the fire

Zechariah 13:8-9

“And it shall be throughout all the land,” declares YHWH, “that two thirds therein are cut off and die, and one third is left therein. And I shall bring the third INTO FIRE, AND REFINE THEM AS SILVER IS REFINED, AND TRY THEM AS GOLD IS TRIED. They shall call on My Name, and I shall answer them. I shall say, ‘This is My people,’ while they say, ‘YHWH is my ELOHIM.”

Wisdom 3:5-9 (Included in 1611 KJV)

“And having been disciplined a little, they shall be rewarded greatly; for ELOHIM PROVED THEM, and found them worthy for Himself. He has TRIED THEM AS GOLD IN THE FURNANCE, and received them as a burnt offering. And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble. They shall judge the nations, and reign over the people, and their Master shall reign forever. Those that put their trust in Him shall understand the truth…”

2 Esdras 16:70-74

“For in every place and in the neighboring cities, there shall be a great uprising against those who revere YHWH. They shall be like madmen, sparing none, but continue ravaging and destroying those who revere YHWH. For they shall lay waste and take away their goods, and throw them out of their houses. Then those who are My chosen shall be known; and they shall be TRIED AS GOLD IN THE FIRE. “Hear, O you My beloved,” says YHWH, “See, the days of trouble are at hand, but I shall deliver you from them.”

Sirach 2:1-9

“My son, if you come to serve YHWH, prepare your being for TRIAL. Prepare your heart, and constantly ENDURE, and do not hasten in time of trouble. Cling to Him, and do not depart, that you may be increased at your latter end. Whatsoever is brought upon you, accept cheerfully (James 1:2-4), and be PATIENT when you are brought low. FOR GOLD IS TRIED IN THE FIRE, and acceptable men in the FURNANCE OF ADVERSITY.  Believe in Him, and He shall help you; establish your ways, and trust in Him. You who revere YHWH, wait for His kindness; and do not turn aside, lest you fall. You who revere YHWH, believe Him; and your reward shall not fail. You who revere YHWH, have expectancy for good, and for everlasting joy and kindness.”

Acceptable men are tried in the furnace of adversity and those who keep the faith will stand and their reward shall be without fail. The way is narrow and hard pressed as YESHUA said, so understand trials will come, but they must be overcome without complaining.

What happens to those who complain and try Him?

Numbers 11:1-6

“And it came to be, when the people were as COMPLAINERS, it was EVIL in the ears of YHWH. And YHWH heard it, and His displeasure burned. And the fire of YHWH burned among them and consumed those in the outskirts of the camp. And the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to YHWH, and the fire died down. Then he called the name of the place Tav’erah, because the fire of YHWH had burned among them. And the mixed multitude who were in their midst lusted greatly, so the children of Yisra’el also wept again and said, “Who is giving us meat to eat? “We remember the fish which we ate without cost in Egypt, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic, but now our life is dried up. There is naught to look at but this manna!”

So YHWH destroyed many the first time they complained with fire then immediately then complained again for meat! They completely forgot about what just happened to the last group of complainers! So YHWH had a solution for the complaining ungrateful people:

Numbers 11:18-20

“And say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat, because you have wept in the hearing of YHWH, saying, “Who is giving us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” And YHWH shall give you meat, and you shall eat. You are going to eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, not ten days, nor twenty days, but for a month of days, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes an abomination to you, because you have REJECTED YHWH who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we come up out of Egypt?” Verse 33 “The meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, and the wrath of YHWH burned against the people, and YHWH smoke the people with an exceeding great plague.”

This shows how YHWH views complaining and there is no difference today. Trust in YHWH and believe the outcome is for the best like Abraham and Job, count it all joy because it will only strengthen you in the end.

Hebrews 3:7-13

“Therefore, as the Ruach ha’Kodesh (Holy Spirit) says, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of TRIAL in the wilderness, where your ancestors TRIED ME, proved Me, and saw My works forty years. Therefore I was loathed with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My Ways.’ As I swore in My wrath, ‘If they shall enter into My rest…” Look out, brothers, lest there be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief in falling away from the living ELOHIM, but encourage one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened by the deceit of sin.”

Is there something in your life that you are complaining about? Are you questioning YHWH and His plan for your life? Repent and give it all to Him, for He sees of the mountain when you cannot and that blessing is right over the other side if you just hold on and trust Him!

As always may our Father YHWH bless you all in YESHUA’ Name!

Die to self and be obedient until death!

Luke 9:24

“For whoever wants to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake shall save it.”

This message is not to scare anyone but to strengthen the body of Messiah and all lukewarm believers who are on the fence, with one foot in the world and one foot with YESHUA! There is nothing to fear when we have The ELOHIM of Yisra’el with us. Don’t settle for the comforts and safety of this world and what they are offering, but stand for YAHWEH and follow His Son YESHUA no matter what! And we are going to discuss many throughout the history of scripture who chose to lose their life for His sake versus trying to save their own lives to end up losing their souls in the end. Not all died in the process, but many were tried to see how they would stand! When you have died to self and are living for YESHUA then you know that nothing else in the world matters.

Romans 6:3-4

“Or do you not know that as many of us were immersed (baptized) into Messiah YESHUA were immersed into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through immersion into death, that as Messiah was raised from the dead by the esteem of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life.”

2 Corinthians 5:15

“And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them, and was raised.”

The reward in the end is greater than anything on this earth; therefore your minds should not be set on the earthly things but the spiritual. We too must be ready to stand no matter what. We know that things are beginning to heat up as the second wave is coming with food shortages, their so-called “C.O.V cure” that will alter your DNA from the DNA YHWH created for you at birth, along with aborted baby DNA, mercury etc, also tracking devices to monitor your movements, health records, and what you buy and sell. Without it you will not be able to work, buy or sell. You have to understand that believers in YESHUA will be outcasts from the world and the ones who will not comply will be deemed as a threat to others, so they will hate you or even turn you in. So, if you are a lukewarm believer it’s time to take your stand!

 So it’s time to stand up and decide are you going to be a sold out disciple of YESHUA and trust in Him or fold into the plans of men? Are you ready?

Mathew 10:32-33

“Everyone, therefore, who shall confess Me before men, him I shall confess before My Father who is in the heavens. But whoever shall deny Me before men, him I shall also deny before My Father who is in the heavens.”

There are many who are sleep and spiritually blinded and are trusting in the plans in men and their narratives on every news station and not trusting in our Father YHWH and His Son YESHUA.

Jeremiah 17:5-8

Thus said YHWH, “Cursed is the man who trusts in MAN and makes FLESH his arm, and whose heart turns away from YHWH. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and not see when good comes, and shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land that is not inhabited. Blessed is the man who TRUSTS IN YHWH, and whose TRUST IS YHWH. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and does not see when heat comes. And his leaf shall be green, and in the year of drought he is not anxious, nor does he cease from yielding fruit.”

Psalms 33:13-22

“YHWH has looked from the heavens; He has seen all the sons of men. He looked from His dwelling place on all the inhabitants of the earth-He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works. The king is not saved by the multitude of an army; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain means of safety; neither does it rescue any by its great power. See, the eye of YHWH is on those revering Him, on those waiting for His kindness, to deliver their being from death, and to keep them alive during scarcity of food. Our being has longed for YHWH; our help and our shield is He. For our heart rejoices in Him, for we have put our TRUST in His holy Name. Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be upon us, even as we wait for You.”

Psalms 37:18-19

“YHWH knows the days of the perfect, and their inheritance is forever. They are not ashamed in a time of evil, and in the days of scarcity of food they are satisfied.”

Psalms 112:5-7

“Good is a man showing favor and lending, He sustains in right-ruling. For he is NEVER SHAKEN; the righteous is remembered forever. He is not afraid of an evil report. His heart is steadfast trusting in YHWH.”

No matter how evil the report gets on this earth we are not shaken or moved because we trust in YHWH and that is what I want all believers in YESHUA to do today if you haven’t already.

Let’s look at examples of how our hearts should be prepared to stand!

Daniel 3:4-7

“Then a herald loudly proclaimed, “To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, that as soon as you hear the sound of the horn, the flute, the zither, the lyre, the harp, the pipes, and all kinds of instruments, you shall fall down and do obeisance to the GOLD IMAGE that king Nebukadnetstsar has put up. And whoever does not fall down and do obeisance is immediately thrown into the midst of a burning furnace of fire.” So as soon as all the people heard the sound of the horn, the flute, the zither, the lyre, the harp, all kinds of instruments, all the people, NATIONS, and languages fell down and did obeisance to the GOLD IMAGE that king Nebukadnetstsar had put up.”

Where do we see this happen again?

Revelation 13:14-15

“And he leads astray those dwelling on the earth because of those signs which he was given to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to MAKE AN IMAGE TO THE BEAST who was wounded by the sword, yet lived. And there was given to him to give spirit to the IMAGE of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause to be killed as many as would not worship the image of the beast.”

Our responses should always be as they responded:

Daniel 3:16-18

“Shadrak, Meyshak, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebukadnetstsar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. For if so, our ELAH whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning furnace of fire and from your hand, O king-He delivers! But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your mighty ones, nor do we do obeisance to the gold image which you have put up.”

 Shadrak, Meyshak, and Abed-Nego were thrown into the fire for not bowing down to the image and during the end times those who don’t worship the image of the beast will be killed. They were protected for trusting in YHWH as we know that YESHUA was with them in the fire as He will be for us. No matter what hold firm to the end and do not deny Him. They trusted in YHWH whether they were going to be delivered or not.

Genesis 39:6-14

“And he left in Joseph’s hand all he had, and he did not know what he had except for the bread that he ate. And Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. And after these events it came to be that his master’s wife lifted up her eyes to Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” But he REFUSED and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has given into my hand all that he has. No one is greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld whatever from me but you, because you are HIS WIFE. And how shall I do this great evil and sin against ELOHIM? And it came to be, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not listen to her, to lie with her, to be with her. And it came to be on a certain day, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.”

Joseph stayed faithful to YHWH and His commands by not committing adultery even though it landed him in prison. We know that Joseph was 17 years old (Genesis 37:2) when he was sold into slavery then thrown into prison; and 30 years old when he went before Pharaoh (Genesis 41:46) which shows he was imprisoned for 13 years, but he remained faithful and YHWH blessed him for it by making him a dad to Pharaoh, master of his house, and governor of Egypt.

Peter and John were thrown into jail:

Acts 4:1-4

“And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the Sanctuary, and the Sadducees, came upon them, being annoyed because they taught the people and announced the resurrection from the dead in YESHUA. And they arrested them, and put them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening. But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand.”

Acts 12:1-4

“And about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to do evil to some from the assembly. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded further to arrest Peter as well and they were the Days of Matzah. So when he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to watch over him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.”

Daniel 6:3-13

“Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and viceroys, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to appoint him over all the reign. Then the governors and viceroys sought to find an occasion against Daniel concerning the reign. But they were unable to find occasion or corruption, because he was steadfast, and no negligence or corruption was found in him. Then these men said, “We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the Law of his Elah (Arabic for ELOHIM). Then the governors and viceroys tumultuously gathered before the king, and said this to him, “King Darius, live forever! All the governors of the reign, the nobles and viceroys, the counsellors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal decree and to make a strong interdict (prohibition), that whoever petitions any mighty one or man for thirty days, except you, O king, is thrown into the den of lions. Now, O king, establish the interdict and sign the writing, so that it is not to be changed, according to the law of the Madites and Persians, which does not pass away.” So King Darius signed the written interdict. And Daniel, when he knew that the writing was signed, went home and in his upper room with his windows open toward Jerusalem he knelt down on his knees three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his Elah, as he had done before. Then these men tumultuously gathered and found Daniel praying and entreating before his Elah. Then they approached the king, and spoke concerning the kings’ interdict, “Have you not signed an interdict that every many who petitions any mighty one or man within thirty days, except you, O king, is thrown into the den of lions? The king answered and said, “The word is certain, according to the law of the Madites and Persians which does not pass away.”

We see Daniel did not let a law prevent him from praying to YHWH as he had been doing three times a day previously. Daniel stood up for ELOHIM despite that threat to be thrown into the lion’s den. Do you see where I’m going with this? No matter what this world tells you to do that goes against the Word of YHWH to not EVER break the commandments of YHWH! Cling to YESHUA and never let go no matter how ILLEGAL they say it is.

Tobiyah 1:10-11

“And when we were carried away captive to Nineveh, all my brothers and those who were of my relatives ate the bread of the gentiles. But I kept myself from eating; because I remembered ELOHIM with ALL MY HEART. And the Most High gave me favor and kindness before Shalmanseser, so that I was his attendant.”

John 15:20

“Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they shall persecute you too. If they have guarded My Word, they would guard yours too.”

 We have to remember that a servant is not greater than His Master as YESHUA said and we are called to walk like Him (1 John 2:6) so be prepared to stand!

Philippians 2:8

“And having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake.”

2 Maccabees 7:1-9

It also came to be, that seven brothers with their mother were taken, and compelled by the king against the Law-to eat pig’s flesh, and were tortured with scourges and whips. But one of them that spoke first said, “What would you ask or learn from us? We are ready to die, rather than to transgress the Laws of our ancestors (Leviticus 11).” Then the king becoming enraged, commanded pots and cauldrons be heated. These promptly being heated, he commanded to cut out the tongue of he that spoke first, and to cut off the outer parts of his body with the rest of his brothers and his mother looking on. Now when he was mutilated in this way over his entire body, he commanded him while still alive to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the cauldron. And as the smoke of the cauldron spread widely, they encouraged one another with their mother to die bravely saying, YHWH ELOHIM watches over us and in truth has compassion on us, as Moses spoke in his song which witnessed to their faces saying, ‘And He has compassion on his servants.” So when the first had died in this manner, they brought the second to make him a mockery. And when they had pulled off the skin from his head with the hair, they asked him, “Will you eat before you are tortured over every part of your body? But he answered in his own language and said, “No.” Therefore, he also received the next torture in turn as the former had. And when he was at the last gasp he said, “In wrath you remove us from THIS PRESENT LIFE, but the KING of the world shall RAISE UP WE WHO HAVE DIED FOR HIS LAWS, UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE.!” Verse 14-17 “So when he was ready to die he said, “It is good to be put to death by men; to look for expectancy from ELOHIM to be RAISED UP AGAIN BY HIM. As for you, you shall have no resurrection to life. Afterward they brought the fifth also, and mutilated him. Then he looked at the king and said, “You have power over men, you are corruptible, you do what you want; yet do not think that our nation is forsaken by ELOHM. But wait a while and see His great power, how He will distress you and your seed.” Verse 20-23 But the mother was greater above all and worthy of honorable remembrance; for when she saw her seven sons slain within the space of one day, she bore it with good courage because of the expectancy that she had in YHWH. She also encouraged every one of them in her own language. Filled with a courageous spirit and stirring up her womanly thoughts with a brave face, she said to them, I cannot tell you how you came into my womb; for I neither gave you breath nor life, nor was it I that formed the members of every one of you. But without doubt the Creator of the world who formed the generation of man and revealed the beginning of all, will also give you of His own kindness, breath and life again, as you disregard now your own beings for the sake of His Laws.”

This cruel torture happened to all of the mother’s seven sons in her presence and then she was killed. They chose to obey YHWH and not break His Commands under any circumstances and like YESHUA they were obedient until death. But the ultimate message is this, YESHUA overcame the world and sits at the right hand of our Father YHWH and at His Name every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is Master. Those who died for YESHUA in obedience will be raised to everlasting life just as the second son said in Maccabees.  This is what all believers in YESHUA are to look forward to knowing this life is short. Those who rule now think that they are winning, but in the end they will lose, you just have to hold on! Don’t break the Sabbath, eat pork, shrimp, crab, or lobster, nor break any of His commandments.

Revelation 20:4

“And I saw thrones- and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them-and the lives of those who had been beheaded because of the witness they bore to YHWH and because of the Word of YHWH, and who did not worship the beast, nor his image, and did not receive his mark upon their foreheads or upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years. And the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended-this is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death possesses no authority over these, but they shall be priests of YHWH and Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”

Psalms 116:15

“Precious in the eyes of YHWH is the death of His saints.”

How deep are your roots?

Mathew 13:18-21

“You, then, hear the parable of the sower: “When anyone hears the Word of the reign, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that sown by the wayside. And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the Word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but is short-lived, and when pressure or persecution arises because of the Word, immediately he stumbles.”

Mathew 24:10

“And then many shall stumble, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.”

Examine your roots to see if your faith is strong as Shadrak, Meyshak, and Abed-Nego, Daniel, Joseph, Peter, James, Paul, Tobiyah, the mother with the 7 children to name a few; or can your faith be shaken and be as one that YESHUA says in the parable that when there is pressure or persecution because of the Word, will you fall away? Will you deliver up your brother or sister to save your own life? How will you stand? Make sure you pray and make sure you have completely given your life to YESHUA to be a sold out disciple of His, so none of this even comes into question. Be ready! We cannot do this on our own strength! We need the Ruach ha’Kodesh who will always give us strength and the words to speak:

Luke 12:11-12

“And when they bring you to the congregations and rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say, for the Ruach ha’Kodesh (Holy Spirit) shall teach you in that very hour what you should say.”

Acts 4:7-12

“And having placed them in the middle, they asked, “By what power or in what Name did you do this? Then Peter, filled with the Ruach ha’Kodesh, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Yisra’el: “If today we are called to account for a good deed towards a sick man, by whom he has been healed, let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Yisra’el, that in the Name of YESHUA ha’Mashiach of Nazareth, whom you impaled, whom YHWH raised from the dead, by Him this one stands before you, healthy. This is ‘the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone. And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heavens given among men by which we need to be saved.”

No matter how frightened you are during the times we can see that YESHUA did not lie and the Holy Spirit gave Peter the words to speak and the strength to overcome. All believers must have the mindset as all I mentioned throughout this article and in conclusion I leave this scripture:

Revelation 12:11

“And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES TO THE DEATH.”

As always may our Father YHWH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!

Do not wear mixed fabrics! And the power of Linen!

This is a topic that gets overlooked because people often do not think about the clothes they put on, because you cover yourself up on go on your way. As always let’s examine scripture and see what YHWH says:

Leviticus 19:19

“Guard My Laws. Do not let your livestock mate with another kind. Do not sow your field with mixed seed. And do not put a garment woven of two sorts of thread upon you.”

Deuteronomy 22:11

“Do not put on a garment of different kinds, of wool and linen together.”

In Leviticus our Father YHWH says do not wear a garment woven of two sorts of thread upon you and we already know that the world does the exact opposite of what YHWH says! So almost every garment you see even in our society today down to socks are combined of different fabrics; take a look at the labels on your shirts and socks and you will find a percentage of all the materials used; and you will more than likely see blends of up to two to four kinds of different fabrics. The fabrics can be anything such as cotton, wool, silk, acrylic, polyester, rayon, spandex etc. The industry has produced so many of these items that you will have to special order your garments and socks that are 100% one fabric. I personally choose to wear 100% linen garments, pants, hats and socks.

As for the command to not mix linen and wool together is there a reason for this?

Notice YHWH mentions linen and wool by name in Deuteronomy to not wear a garment with these two fabrics, but in Leviticus He says do not wear any different blend at all? As for linen and wool they have the highest atomic frequency signature of any fabric totaling 5,000, so when you combine the two together they cancel each other out to “0”.

A doctor named Heidi Yellen did a study on fabrics and this was the conclusion: The human body has a signature frequency of 100 and organic cotton is 100; therefore, you don’t want to wear a garment under 100 that is lower than the frequency of the human body. A sickly nearly dead person has a frequency of 15 and materials such as polyester, rayon, silk, and spandex register at a 15. Science proves that any fabric worn that has a frequency less than the 100 our bodies puts a strain on us which causes disease, inflammation and other sicknesses. The only super fabrics are wool and linen both measuring in at 5,000 which energizes the body and helps fight disease.

Times linen is mentioned in Scripture:

Exodus 28:8

“And the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, which is on it, is of the same workmanship, made of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet, and FINE WOVEN LINEN.” Verse 39 “And you shall weave the long shirt of FINE LINEN, and shall make the turban of FINE LINEN, and you shall make the girdle of woven work.”

Daniel 10:4-6

“And on the twenty-fourth day of the first-month, while I was by the side of the great river, that is Hiddeqel, then I lifted my eyes and looked and saw a certain man dressed in LINEN, who loins were girded with gold of Uphaz! And his body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like torches of fire, and his arms and feet like polished bronze in appearance, and the sound of his words like the sound of a crowd.”

Ezekiel 9:1-2

“And He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, “Let the punishers of the city draw near, each with his weapon of destruction in his hand.” And look, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-axe in his hand. And one man in their midst was clothed with LINEN and had a writer’s ink horn at his side. And they came in and stood beside the bronze altar.”

Proverbs 31:21-24

“She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household is dressed in scarlet. She shall make tapestry for herself; she is dressed in FINE LINEN and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. She shall make FINE LINEN and sell them.”

1 Chronicles 15:27

“And David was dressed in a robe of FINE LINEN, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Kenanyah the leader of the service with the singers. And David wore a LINEN shoulder garment.”

John 19:40

“Then they took the body of YESHUA, and bound it in LINEN wrappings with the spices, as was the habit of the Jews for burial.”

John 20:6-7

“Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. And he saw the LINEN wrappings lying, and the cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but folded up in a place by itself.”

Revelations 15:6

“And out of the Tabernacle came the seven messengers (angels) having the seven plagues, dressed in CLEAN BRIGHT LINEN, and having their chests girded with golden bands.”

Revelation 19:7-8

“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife prepared herself. And to her it was given to be dressed in FINE LINEN, clean and bright, for the FINE LINEN IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE SAINTS.” Verse 13-14 and having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood-and His Name is called: The Word of YHWH. And the armies in the heavens, dressed in FINE LINEN, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.”

Firstly, we notice how none of the above mentioned wore any mixed fabrics? It was all linen! Secondly, YESHUA was buried in linen, the armies of the heavens and the angels wore linen, and linen represents the righteousness of the saints. Now let’s discuss the benefits of linen.

Facts about linen:

1.      Sleeping in linen helps people fall asleep faster and deeper

2.      Improves mood

3.      Considered holy attire

4.      Made of flax

5.      Protects humans from gamma and solar radiation by nearly half; and protects against chemical exposure. This is very important because I want everyone to think of 5G radiation and what it does to the cells of the body. Linen helps provide protection.

6.      Rapid healing from surgeries and other ailments which would explain why hospitals use linen for their beds.

7.      Resistant to fungus and bacteria

8.      Barrier to some diseases

9.      Regulates body temperature, it insulates in the cold, and cool and breathable when it’s warm.

10.  Decreases skin disease

11.  Reduces inflammation and reduces fevers

12.  Cures neurological ailments

13.  More durable than cotton and 2 to 3 times stronger

14.  Helps to repair body by harmonizing with cells

15.  Linen is the only fabric that is accepted internally in the human body and clothstudo.ca says that the Egyptians also used it for bandages.

16.  High air permeability: linen breathes naturally, research shows that those who wear linen sweat 1.5 less than those who wear cotton and 2 times less than those wearing synthetic fabric like rayon. Which would explain why YHWH wanted His priests to wear linen when they served in the Tent of Appointment. Ezekiel 44:18 “They shall have LINEN turbans on their heads and linen trousers on their bodies, they shall not GIRD THEMSELVES WITH SWEAT.”

Facts about wool:

1.      Reduces pain of fibromyalgia by 84%

2.      Reduces depression by 64% and fatigue by 80%

3.      Regulates body temperature leading to less strain on joints and muscles

4.      Helps improve sleep especially stage 4 REM sleep

5.      Composed of the same protein that makes up the outer protective layer of our skin and works in harmony with the body.

6.      Can absorb and wick away up to 30% of its weight in moisture, sweat less, and helps our bodies to remove moisture

7.      Resistant to mildew and mold and helps diabetics with relief of their conditions

8.      Reduces bed sores

9.      Reduces patient healing time

10. Durable, fire retardant

11. Resists static, dirt and dust

So we can see that these two super fabrics that our Father YHWH have given us and have many benefits, just remember not to combine linen and wool together.

Deuteronomy 22:11

“Do not put on a garment of different kinds, of wool and linen together.”

YHWH commands us not to wear a garment with mixed fabrics as we see occurring in clothes all over the world as the world goes further and further away from YHWH. Our Father YHWH is all about perfection and He wants us wear 100% of one fabric.

I pray that this helps as always and may our Father YHWH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

The Lunar Sabbath DECEPTION!

We have already discussed the deception of those who claim the Sabbath or a day is from morning to morning! Scripture reveals to us that the Sabbath and a day is from evening to evening! The other deception that is circulating is the Lunar Sabbath that claims the Sabbath is not on a consecutive 7 day cycle of six days of work and rest on the 7th Day.

What is the Lunar Sabbath?

This is when observers will not honor the weekly 7th Day Sabbath, but will use the MOON to determine when a new week begins and ends. They believe that the Sabbath falls on certain days each month (8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th etc), instead of sticking with an uninterrupted 7 day cycle. Therefore, by using the moon the Sabbath can fall in ANY DAY of the week instead of the 7th Day Sabbath.

Other say they believe in the Lunar Sabbath because Saturday is from Babylon; therefore there is no way that Saturday can be correct. Well, we have to remember that all the pagans did was change the name of the week from Sabbath to Saturday, the only thing that changes is the name NOT the 7th Day that it falls on! Furthermore, all the names of the days of the week and the months are names of Roman pagan deities on the current Gregorian calendar that the world follows today. Just because they change the name doesn’t neglect where the day falls.

 I want everyone to keep in mind about using the phases of the moon as the guide because Jubilees says:

Jubilees 6:33-37

“But if they neglect and do not observe them according to His Command, then they shall disturb all their seasons, and the years shall be dislodged from this order, and they shall NEGLECT THEIR LAWS. And all the children of Yisra’el shall forget, and shall not find the path of the years, and shall forget the new moons, and seasons, and SABBATHS, and they shall go astray as to all the order of the years. For I know, and from this time on I shall declare it to you, and it is not of my own devising; for the Book is written before me. And on the tablets of the heavens the division of days is ORDAINED, lest they forget the Festivals of the Covenant and walk according to the festivals of the gentiles after their straying and after their ignorance. For there shall be THOSE WHO SHALL ASSUREDLY MAKE OBSERVATIONS OF THE MOON-NOW IT DISTURBS THE SEASONS and comes in from year to year TEN DAYS TOO SOON. For this reason the years shall come upon them when they shall DISTURB THE ORDER, and make an abominable day the day of witness, and an unclean day a feast day, and they confuse ALL THE DAYS, the holy, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they shall go astray as to the months AND SABBATHS AND Festivals and Jubilees.”

The messenger (angel) of the presence that YHWH told to instruct Moses tells him that there will be people who observe the moon which disturbs the seasons and go astray to SABBATHS, Festivals, and Jubilees and that they would confuse all the days! That is exactly what is going on with this current deception and this is further evidence that there is no Lunar Sabbath. The moon is a signal for Appointed Times and shows the completion of a month:

Enoch 78:14

“On the side where the light of the moon comes forth, there again she diminishes till all the light vanishes and ALL THE DAYS OF THE MONTH ARE AT AN END, and her circumference is EMPTY, void of light.”

So when you see the half moon and the full moon it is not by accident, but by the design our ELOHIM to know when a month ends and begins.

Sirach 43:6-7

“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, a light that decreases in its completion.”

And we see in Leviticus 23 that The Sabbath Day is mentioned with all the other Appointed times and YHWH tells us exactly when to observe them. Notice the instructions for the Sabbath are spelled out by YHWH saying that you work six days and rest on the 7th Day consistently and is not based on the moon. The Sabbath occurs every week whereas the other Appointed Times occur once a year at their Appointed Times. The other Appointed Times He instructs us Passover 14th Day of 1st month, Feast of Unleavened Bread 15th Day of 1st month etc.

How are you calculating Shavuot (Pentecost) with Lunar Sabbath?

Leviticus 23:15-16

“And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: SEVEN COMPLETED SABBATHS. Until the morrow after the SEVENTH SABBATH you county FIFTY DAYS, then you shall bring a new grain offering to YHWH.”

So we see that YHWH says to calculate Shavuot (Pentecost) by counting seven completed Sabbaths in other words 50 consecutive days to get to Shavuot, which is an indicator the Sabbath Day is on a 7 Day weekly cycle. Those observing the Lunar Sabbath would have to wait for the phase of the moon causing them to miss the consecutive 50 day count. Or they would be counting more than 50 days being that their Sabbath could fall on the 8th day or any day during the week etc.

The cycle for 7 day pattern established

Genesis 2: 2-3

“And on the seventh day ELOHIM completed His work which He had done and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He made. And ELOHIM blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all His work which ELOHIM in creating had made.”

And our Creator gave us the pattern, for us follow the same example just as He did by commanding us to work 6 days and rest on the 7th day:

Exodus 20:8-11

“Remember the Sabbath day, to sanctify it. Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of YHWH your ELOHIM. And you do not do any work- you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor you female servant, not your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore YHWH blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.”

Exodus 31:15

“Six days work is done, and on the SEVENTH is a Sabbath of rest, holy to YHWH. Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be put to death.”

Exodus 34:21

“Six days you work, but on the SEVENTH day you rest-in ploughing time and in harvest time”

Deuteronomy 5:13-14

“Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, but the SEVENTH day is a Sabbath to YHWH your ELOHIM. You do not do any work…”

As we see the seventh day Sabbath is ONE day out of the week that YHWH blessed and sanctified; therefore, this blessing does not apply to any day anyone feels the Sabbath lands on based on observance of the moon. Notice YHWH doesn’t say six days work is done but the Sabbath look for the New Moon to determine if it’s the seventh day for the Sabbath. Our Father is not the author of confusion. YHWH even drives this point home with the same cycle for the Sabbath rest for the land:

Leviticus 25:1-6

“And YHWH spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, “Speak to the children of Yisra’el, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the LAND shall observe a Sabbath to YHWH. Six years you sow your field, and six years you prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruit, but in the seventh year the land is to have a Sabbath of rest, a Sabbath to YHWH. Do not sow your field and do not prune your vineyard. Do not reap what grows of its own of your harvest, and do not gather the grapes of your unpruned vine, for it is a year of rest for the land. And the SABBATH of the land shall be to you for food, for you and your servant, and your female servant and your hired servant, and for the stranger who sojourns with you, and for the livestock and the beasts that are in your land. All its crops are for food.”’

Are you noticing the pattern that our Father YHWH sets? He created all things in SIX days and rested on the SEVENTH day, He told us to do work for SIX days and rest on the SEVENTH day just as He did, and then He told the children of Yisra’el to sow, reap, and gather from the land for SIX years, but let the land rest in the SEVENTH year! YHWH doesn’t make the counting confusing, it’s pretty straightforward what He expects us to do through His instructions. There is no Lunar Sabbath calculation for the Sabbath rest for the land because we know that is a command to be taken literally, just as the weekly 7th Day Sabbath is to be taken literally.

6th day parallel with 6th year!

Exodus 16:25-29

“And Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to YHWH, today you do not find it in the field. 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 Torot (Plural form of Torah)? “See, because YHWH has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for TWO DAYS ON THE SIXTH DAY…”

Leviticus 25:20-21

“And since you might say, “What do we eat in the SEVENTH YEAR, since we do not sow nor gather in our crops? Therefore I have commanded My blessing on you in the SIXTH YEAR, and it shall bring forth the crop for three years.”

YHWH gave TWICE as much manna on the SIXTH day, so they could rest on the Sabbath the seventh day, the same way He gave THREE years of crop blessings in the SIXTH YEAR, so the land could observe its Sabbath in the seventh year. YHWH does not do anything just to be doing it, He wants his people to establish a pattern and was teaching them the continuous, uninterrupted 7 day cycle; and to trust in His provisions that He will provide and not break His weekly 7th Day Sabbath or 7th year land of rest.

New Moons are separate from Sabbath

Isaiah 66:23

“And it shall be that from New moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares YHWH.”

Ezekiel 46:1

“Thus said the Adon (Master) YHWH, “The gate of the inner courtyard facing east is shut the six days of work, but on the Sabbath it is opened, AND on the day of the New Moon it is opened.”

Notice how YHWH separates the two and doesn’t say on the Lunar Sabbath all flesh shall worship me? He says Sabbath to Sabbath and New moon to new moon; therefore, completely distinguishing between the two. And the scripture from Ezekiel clears it up even further as we see YHWH says the gate is opened on the Sabbath AND on the day of the New Moon, so there is no mixing the two at all.

As always I pray this helps and that no one is deceived by the Lunar Sabbath. May YHWH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name.

Is Weave (Hair extensions) sacrificed to demons?

Enoch 19:1

“And Uriel said to me, “Here shall stand the messengers (angels) who have connected themselves with women (Genesis 6)-and their spirits assuming MANY DIFFERENT FORMS are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into SACRIFICING TO DEMONS AS MIGHTY ONES-till the day of the great judgment in which they shall be rightly-ruled till they are made an end of.”

Fake eye lashes, magnetic eyelashes, and fake nails all qualify as artificial beauty as we discussed in detail last week. As for wearing weave, hair extensions, sewins, or wigs be careful because many reports say in India, where most weave comes from, has been sacrificed to idols/demons/pagan deities in their temples. They shave their heads bald for the “deity of beauty”, then then pray for whatever they want, which happens to be financial security. Plus, they say that “all of the bad energy will be in the hair.”

So when you place hair on your head that does not belong to you, you could possibly be taking on the spirit of someone else and allowing the demonic forces legal entry into your body and or home. This would make one unclean by having something unholy with a spirit of a demon being on the head of a believer. The risk of artificial beauty isn’t worth demonic possession or giving Satan a foot hold in your life. Later in this article you will see articles written about this subject and it is not to be taken lightly.

Deuteronomy 32:17

“They slaughtered to demons –not ELOAH (ELOHIM) - mighty ones they did not know, new ones who came lately, which your ancestors did not reverence.”

1 Corinthians 10:19

“What then do I say? That an idol is anything? Or that which is offered to idols is anything? No, but what the gentiles offer they offer to demons and not to ELOHIM, and I do not want you to become sharers with demons.”

Revelation 2:14

“But I hold a little against you, because you have there those who adhere to the teaching of Bil’am who taught Balak to put a stumbling-before the children of Yisra’el, to eat offerings to idols, and to commit whoring.”

Revelation 2:20

“But I hold against you that you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and lead My servants astray to commit whoring and to eat offerings to idols.”

Though the scripture in Revelation are about food sacrificed to idols we can see how He feels about things that are sacrificed to demons. Why? They are the opposite of who He is and we are called to walk like Him.

Leviticus 19:1-2

“And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’el, and say to them, ‘Be holy, for I YHWH your ELOHIM am holy.”

Mathew 5:48

“Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the heavens is perfect.”

1 John 2:6

“The one who says he stays in Him out himself also to walk, even as He walked.”

How many sisters wear hair weaves sacrificed to idol gods? How many sisters come to the church house with weaves sacrificed to idols? Let's explore the ramifications of a sister in the church wearing a weave of human hair that was sacrificed to idol gods. I remember a couple years ago when my older sister was preaching.  Right in the middle of her sermon, the Holy Spirit told her to tell the sisters in the congregation to be careful where they get their hair weaves from, because some of the human hair had been sacrificed to idols.  About a week later my sister's friend was watching an episode of National Geographic in which they did a story about women in India who sacrifice their hair to idols.  Their sacrificed hair was then sold for profit.  This was confirmation of the Word given by my sister.

In India hair is a big export to the United States.  It brings in millions of dollars to the Hindu temples whose worshipers come to the temple to sacrifice their hair.
In 2006 it was estimated roughly that $82 million of human hair from India is exported to the United States, and that India is one the biggest exporters of human hair in the world (source). The hair is taken from the Indian temples, then shipped to factories in China, where they are mixed with Chinese hair to form wigs and hair extensions for the Western markets.  The hair is then exported to lucrative salon businesses in the USA where these merchants and wig makers most prize the usually long, dark, silky hair.

Hollywood is even impacted by the Indian hair market.  On the most part, hair that is sacrificed at the temple ends up as hair extensions on Hollywood actresses.  The final cost?  Three thousand dollar a pop. It is obvious that the sale of human hair is a lucrative business.  However, it also fuels revenue into these pagan Hindu temples.  Forget about the price of looking good, it's financially aiding and arming a false religion! 

In the Hindu faith it is a testament that men and women shave their hair in the temple. Pilgrims make their way from surrounding areas to offer up their hair. A good of example of this in the Indian city of Tripalu.  An estimated 20 million pilgrims each year and offer up hair sacrifices to the god Vishnu.  It costs about $120 million per year to maintain the temple and most of the revenue to support it comes from the sale of human hair).
One of the main reasons why people sacrifice their hair is because they have no money to give to the gods.  Instead, they offer their hair as a sacrifice.  Temples usually make $200 to $300 per kilogram of sacrificed hair that goes to a middle man.  The money is then used to support pilgrims and community programs”

Another witness with an article posted in 2011 from Agence France Presse writes:

Indian sacrifices keep the West supplied with hair extensions

Hair is offered as a sacrifice in temples across India, to give thanks or to ask the gods for help - and that hair is then sold on to make wigs and hair extensions in the West in a business worth Dh735m a year.

CHENNAI // Strong religious belief and spirituality, coupled with sky-rocketing demand from western women, have made India the world leader in the hair extension trade.

The country has long been the world's biggest exporter of human hair, and companies involved in the sector estimate that the business is worth up to 8.5 billion rupees (Dh735 million) a year.

Hair is offered as a sacrifice to the hundreds of thousands of gods in the Hindu pantheon for reasons as diverse as seeking to ward off ill-health to wanting to bring luck and fortune.

The practice is common in southern India, especially at temples in Tamil Nadu state, where people from all over the country come to be shaved.

But those in the hair trade that feed off the ritual fear for the future, as modern India changes on the back of its recent economic boom, opening up the vast country to more secular, consumerist pursuits and outside influences.

George Cherian, the chief executive of Raj Hair International in the state capital, Chennai, said: "There has been a change or trend in the reduction of the younger generation going to the temple and tonsuring their hair. They might cut their hair length half-way through but not necessarily fully shave their hair."

For now though, business remains brisk. On a religious festival day, up to 1,000 people, including 50 to 60 women, undergo the ritual at the Tiruttani temple north of Chennai.

Indian women like Anandi Perumalswamy are the mainstay of the industry, even if their lives are a world away from the fancy salons in the United States and Europe, where demand for hair extensions is highest.

"Our favorite god is Lord Muruga. We had lots of problems, like debt, many types of problems," said Perumalswamy, a 45-year-old mother of two.

"I had prayed for my son to get married. I had promised that if he gets married, then I would offer my hair."

The marriage took place a few months ago and so she came to Tiruttani to uphold her part of the bargain.

Tonnes of tresses are cut every day and mostly sold at auction to wholesalers, which then prepare and export them for use across the world.

The practice has even become a lucrative sideline for temples, who use the money raised for charitable activities. Some suppliers have also gone into business themselves, cutting out the need for wholesalers.

To all my sisters and brothers in YESHUA I pray this is a wake-up call and that you repent! And if you have any doubts about this that you will to this to our Father YAHWEH and YESHUA in prayer.

As always may YHWH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!

Should women wear makeup or High-Heels?

This is not a popular topic but it is an important one that must be discussed because some may be unaware of what scripture says about this. This is not to judge anyone, but to raise awareness about the situation out of love. I pray that you read this entire article before drawing a conclusion because it’s important to understand the ways of the world that must be unlearned. So we will examine scripture to see what ELOHIM’s word says:

Enoch 8:1-3 says:

“And Azazel (fallen angel) taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them, the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of ANTIMONY, BEAUTIFYING OF EYELIDS, and all kinds of costly stones and COLORING TINCTURES (dye or pigment). And there arose much wickedness, and they committed whoring, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all of their ways.”

Antimony- Used in antiquity as eyeliner and mascara, today antimony finds uses in fire retardants, car batteries and bullets. Antimony is one of the elements known since ancient times. Antimony sulfide (stibnite) was ground into a powder called kohl which could then be used as an eye cosmetic.Jul 28, 2019 compoundchem.com

The Egyptians used antimony in the form of stibnite for black eye make-up which is from the same compound from the definition above from compoundchem.com.  The very same one the fallen angel taught usage of.  “The use of cosmetics is very ancient. Evidence of the use of eye makeup and aromatic ointments has been found in Egyptian tombs dating to 3500 BC… “By the 1st century AD the Egyptian, Roman, Greek and Middle Eastern cultures had developed cosmetics such as powders to whiten the skin; kohl to darken the eyelids, eyelashes, and eyebrows; rouge for the cheeks…” (Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 5, p. 196).   So we can see where the origin of make-up and eye liner come from; and the ancient Egyptians continued its usage in their culture, just as the world is today, so there is truly nothing new under the sun: Ecclesiastes 1:9     “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.”   Make-up is applied to actors, actresses, and news anchors both male and female. I know there are many who like to wear make-up or others who say “what if they put it on modestly so you don’t even notice it?” Personally, knowing the origin of make-up I would not encourage any woman to do so. I’m not saying women are doing this intentionally to look like harlots or that women are doing this intentionally to be evil or seduce men, because some women honestly don’t know. The intention is for this to be a wake- up call to all believers in YESHUA! Enoch 9:6 “You see what Azazel has done, who has taught all UNRIGHTEOUSNESS on earth and revealed the ETERNAL SECRETS which were in the heavens, which men were STRIVING TO LEARN.” Believers in YESHUA need to be modest and not draw any unnecessary attention to themselves. We are called to be separate and not be a part of this world and its ways.   1 Peter 3:1-3 “In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that if any are disobedient to the Word, they, without a word, might be won by the behavior of their wives, having seen your blameless behavior in reverence. Your world should not be OUTWARD-arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on dresses...”   Peter is saying for women to concentrate on their inner character and not putting emphasis on their outer appearance to draw attention to themselves causing a distraction. Be meek and modest so the inner character of righteousness will shine through. Other witnesses against make up?  

Mathew 18:16

“But if he does not hear, take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word might be established.”

John 5:31-32

“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.”

We must base everything off of witnesses and weigh the evidence and then side with the most witnesses. Many people reject the Book of Enoch without ever reading it or comparing it with the 66 Book canon. However, there are several scriptures agreeing with Enoch that witness against the beautifying of eyelids, antimony, mascara and eyeliner:

Ezekiel 23:1-6

“And the word of YHWH came to me, saying, “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother. And they WHORED in Egypt, they WHORED in their youth. There their breasts were handled, and there their maiden nipples were squeezed. And their names were: Oholah and the elder Oholibah her sister. And they were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And their names: Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah. And Oholah whored while she was Mine. And she lusted for her lovers, the neighboring Assyrians, dressed in purple, officers and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. Verse 11 and her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she became more corrupt in her lust than she, and in her whorings more corrupt than her sister’s whorings.” Verse 17-19 And the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whorings. And she was defiled by them, and her being turned from them in disgust. And she uncovered her whorings and uncovered her nakedness. Then I turned My being from her in disgust, as My being had turned from her sister in disgust and she increased her whorings remembering the days of her youth, when she whored in the land of Egypt. Verse 39-40 For when they had slain their children for their idols, on the same day they came into My Sanctuary to profane it. And see, that is what they did in the midst of My House. And THEY EVEN SENT FOR MEN to come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent. And see, they came- for whom you washed yourself, PAINTED YOUR EYES, and adorned yourself with ornament. Verse 43-44 then I said concerning the one worn out in adulteries, ‘Now let them commit her whorings, even hers! And they went in to her, as men go in to a woman who is a whore. Thus they went in to Oholah and Oholibah, the wicked women.”

So we the metaphor of Samaria and Jerusalem as women, but YHWH shows how they committed adultery, were wicked and whored with many lovers; and then He says that they even SENT FOR MEN to come to them just like a prostitute waiting for the next transaction; and they painted their faces in advance as part of the what they did to allure other nations/men, seduction for harlotry purposes. Solomon and the Book Sirach agree with eye paint used for this purpose:

Proverbs 6:23-25 says

“For the Command is a lamp, And the Torah a light, and reproofs of discipline a way of life, to guard you against an evil woman, from the flattering tongue of a strange woman. Do not desire her prettiness in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her EYELIDS.

YHWH said the adulteress women with painted eyes were wicked and Solomon says the adulteress woman with painted eyelids is evil, because of their actions and appearance.

Sirach 26:9 (Included in 1611 King James Bible)

“The whoring of a woman is known by her HAUGHTY LOOKS AND EYELIDS.”

Proverbs 6:16-17

“These six YHWH hates, and seven are an abomination to Him: A PROUD LOOK, a lying tongue, and hands shedding innocent blood, a heart devising wicked schemes, feet quick to run to evil, a false witness breathing out lies, and one who causes strife among brothers.”

Notice how YHWH says He hates a proud look? It takes most women hours to put make-up on to get ready so they can enhance their eyes/facial features. Doesn’t this apply to a proud look or vanity by one spending so time in the mirror to apply paint perfectly?

The definition of vanity is- excessive PRIDE in or admiration of one’s own appearance or achievements. The word pride is used in the definition of vanity which is one of the things YHWH hates.

I think it’s interesting to note that Oxfordstudent.com adds: “In 1700s, Parliament declared that women who seduced men into marriage through the use of makeup could have their marriages annulled as well as face witchcraft charges: “All women of whatever age, rank, profession or degree, whether virgins, maids or widows, that shall, from and after such Act, impose upon, seduce and betray into matrimony any of His Majesty’s subjects, by the scents, paints, cosmetic washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high-heeled shoes or bolstered hips, shall incur the penalty of the law in force against witchcraft and the like misdemeanors and [their] marriage[s], upon conviction, shall become null and void.”

This shows the extreme constraints women were put under. If even wearing “high-heeled shoes” led to being punished as a witch, there was not much enhancement and freedom to use cosmetics (or anything). Men, as delicate little flowers, obviously needed to be protected from “bolstered hips” and too nice “scents”.

Quick note about high-heel shoes is that they were originally created for men! So I think its interesting to note that in England even the high-heeled shoes were forbidden for a woman due to witchcraft.

YHWH tells us in Deuteronomy 22:5

“A woman does not wear that which pertains to a man, nor does a man put on a woman’s garment, for whoever does this is an abomination to YHWH your Elohim.”

What if we told you that high heels were originally made exclusively for men? In a time when stilettos and platforms are often associated with female style and female sexuality, that fact might come as a surprise — but it shouldn’t. In fact, for decades high heels found their place on the feet of male soldiers, aristocrats and even royals in differing parts of the globe for very specific reasons. And when it comes to the surprising history of heeled shoes, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The origin of high-heels can be traced back to 15th century Persia when soldiers wore them to help secure their feet in stirrups. Persian migrants brought the shoe trend to Europe, where male aristocrats wore them to appear taller and more formidable.

The pedestal-like chopine of the late 15th to the early 17th centuries transformed the upper-class European woman into a towering figure. Especially popular in Venice, the shoes were so exceptionally high — sometimes up to 54 cm — that maids were used as crutches. Chopines were completely hidden under skirts. The higher the footwear, the more cloth was required for the dress, another indication of status.

Satan has always been at work to reverse the commands of YHWH! YHWH has Shabbats and Satan has sabbats, YHWH has Sukkot, Satan has thanksgiving, YHWH says man is head of the household, but most women are now the head of households. So taking this tactic he made something that men wore first and made it popular for the feet of a woman.

(Article continued) The culture of Victorian England had bloomed with a craze for nature and natural beauty in 1800s. As a result, lipstick and makeup were highly condemned. Queen Victoria herself declared makeup “impolite” publicly, and it became socially unacceptable for all but prostitutes and actresses.”

 In the 1700’s in England we see how they viewed make up and high-heels being viewed as something that prostitutes and witches wore; and could even face witchcraft charges. And if they lured a man into marriage using any of these tactics that their marriage would be voided/annulled. As for the high heels it appears that platform shoes on men in the 70’s had it right all along. Once high heels were switched for women to wear they started designing them to make a woman walk a certain way, draw attention to her legs, make her backside stick out, and twist the hips to cause a distraction.

2 Kings 9:30 correlates to what Solomon said in proverbs about paint on the eyes which says:

“And Yahu came to Yizre’el, and Jezebel heard of it. And she PUT PAINT ON HER EYE’s and adorned her head and looked through a window.”

Jezebel put on make up/mascara on her eye lids to draw attention to herself and attempt to seduce Yahu (Jehu) thinking this would prevent him from killing her.

Jezebel’s name literally means “exalted of Ba’al” and we know that Ba’al (Numbers 25 is an example of this) he was a pagan deity the children of Israel worshipped to provoke YHWH to anger, whom they sacrificed their children in the fire for economic gain, the pagan deity mentioned more than any other deity in scripture. Therefore, Jezebel is not being exalted by our Father YHWH but by the enemy. This makes sense with why everyone is familiar with the phrase “She has the Jezebel spirit.” And we all know that there is nothing positive about this phrase.

Do believers in YESHUA want to participate in any activity that Jezebel did?

We are created in our ELOHIM’s image

Our ELOHIM created us in His own image; therefore, we do not need to change our appearance with a mask or any other artificial enhancement. Satan hates the fact that we are created in ELOHIM’s image and  when he sees us he is reminded of our Father whom he rebelled against; therefore, he wants you destroyed at all costs and wants you to cover up who you are with an artificial mask. The word mascara in Spanish means mask or stain, maschera in Italian means mask, and in Portuguese mascara means mask, soot or black smear.

If you have any doubts about this please take it to our Father YAHWEH and YESHUA in prayer and as always may YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
