Important questions about the Sabbath!

Over the years I have been presented with some good questions regarding the Sabbath and I want to always look at scripture as we answer these questions. These are the common questions I have been asked regarding the Sabbath. But, as always I am not the final authority on the topic and just want to help shed some light on some of these questions. Make sure that you take everything to our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA in prayer.

Question: What constitutes as work on the Sabbath?

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 had 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.

Exodus 20:9-11

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 YAHWEH your ELOHIM. You do not do any work- you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days YAHWEH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. There YAHWEH blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.”

Jubilees 50:12

And every man who does ANY WORK thereon, or goes on a journey, or tills his field (garden work/farm work), whether in his house or any other place, and whoever lights a fire, or rides on any beast (horseback riding), or travels by ship on the sea (cruises), and whoever smites or kills whatever, or slaughters a beast or bird, or whoever catches an animal or bird or a fish (hunting and fishing) or whoever fasts or goes to battle on the Sabbath.”

Lighting a fire in my opinion has a strong connection to the ritual in Judaism when they light the Shabbat candles to bring in the Sabbath; and saying a prayer saying YAHWEH commanded the lighting of the Shabbat candles when He didn’t. It seems to be an intentional lighting of a fire the same way the tradition in Judaism is to not eat lamb on Passover as YAHWEH commanded in Exodus, but they rather replace it with shank bone, which is the exact opposite of what YAHWEH commanded. Also, the man who was stoned for collecting sticks on the Sabbath must have been collecting sticks to build a fire. And building a fire requires work, he had six days to gather all of the sticks and get the fire started before the start of the Sabbath. Again, this is my opinion on the situation.

Jubilees 2:25-26

He created the heavens and earth and all that He created in six days, and ELOHIM made the seventh day holy for all His works. Therefore He commanded for this reason, that whoever does any work on it shall die, and that he who defiles it shall certainly die. Therefore you shall command the children of Yisra’el to observe this day that they may sanctify it and not do any work on it, and not to defile it, as it is MORE HOLY THAN ALL THE OTHER DAYS.”

As we can see our Father YAHWEH wants us to get away from doing what we normally we do on the other six days. This day is set apart to Him, so no garden work, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, cruises, cooking, cleaning, shopping, paying bills are not permitted on the Sabbath. The goal is to rest as He commanded and get OUT of the world. The Sabbath is more holy than all of the other days; therefore, separating yourself from worldly activity, worldly talk, are ways to honor the Sabbath because it is the holiest day of the week.

We see that in Genesis our Father YAHWEH gave us the example that He expects us to follow and reinforces this by telling us to remember to rest on the Sabbath in the 10 commandments. The weekly 7th Day Sabbath and Yom Kippur all called “Shabbat Shabbaton’s” which means complete stopping and complete ceasing from all activity. Many have asked saying “YESHUA said that it is good to do good on the Sabbath, so isn’t working as a doctor or nurse considered doing good on the Sabbath?” Yes, YESHUA did heal on the Sabbath which is doing good, but He didn’t earn a wage nor did He heal with pharmakia, so if you were to go out and heal someone with natural medicines without receiving a wage for it, then this is a good thing, but we know most people don’t work for free, especially if it is their job. YESHUA’s examples were all about SUSTAINING LIFE and not earning a wage or personal gain. The problem is that the Pharisees were accusing YESHUA of breaking THEIR version of the Sabbath by adding many man-made traditions to it. Examples:

Mathew 12:5

Or did you not read in the Torah that on the Sabbath the priests in the Sanctuary profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?”

So what is YESHUA saying here? They profaned the Sabbath yet they were innocent? That is because they were making slaughtering offerings for the forgiveness of sins on the Sabbath, which is doing GOOD because they were sustaining life on the Sabbath by making atonement for the people. The Book of Jubilees confirms this:

Jubilees 50:11

This work alone shall be done on the Sabbath-Days in the Sanctuary of YAHWEH your ELOHIM; that they may atone for Yisra’el with offering continually from day to day for a memorial well-pleasing before YAHWEH, and that He may receive them always from day to day accordingly as you have been commanded.”

YESHUA wasn’t profaning the Sabbath by doing any work, He was merely showing the Pharisees that they were hypocrites that added to the Word of YHWH to make themselves appear more holy, but it was all works of the flesh and not the Spirit.

As YESHUA said in Mathew 23 “they lay heavy burdens upon men, but they themselves do not lift a finger.” However, if the command is from the Torah then you are to do it, just not according to their works. For example if they said to keep The Sabbath holy then you are to do it because it’s in the Torah, but not according to their works means that because of their man-made laws they added to the Torah like (you cannot tie your shoes on the Sabbath, you cannot write on the Sabbath, winnowing which plucking heads of grain that YESHUA’s disciples did in Luke 6)

 They held their added traditions to higher value than the Torah making the commandments of YAHWEH of no-effect. The Pharisees tried to accuse YESHUA of breaking The Sabbath; when in actuality they were measuring YESHUA up to their added prohibits to the Torah and not the actual words of YAHWEH, which is why YESHUA said in Mathew 15:6-10

So you have nullified the Command of ELOHIM by your tradition. Hypocrites! Isaiah rightly prophesied about you saying, ‘This people draw near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.”

Luke 12:1

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

An example of their hypocrisy is found in John 7:19-23

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

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

Luke 13:10-16

And He was teaching in one of the congregations on the Sabbath, and see, there was a woman having a weakening spirit for eighteen years, and was bent over and was unable to straighten up at all. And YESHUA, seeing her, called her near and said to her, “Woman, you are loosened from your weakness.” And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was straightened up, and praised ELOHIM. But the ruler of the congregation, responding, much displeased that YESHUA had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, “There are six days on which men should work, so come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.” Then the Master answered him and said, “Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loosen his ox or his donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? “And this one, being a daughter or Abraham, whom Satan has bound, look, for eighteen years, should she not be loosened from this bond on the Sabbath?

Since, when is healing someone a bad thing or considered work? YESHUA was always showing the Pharisees their hypocritical teachings.  Furthermore, we can agree that there are thousands of other doctors or nurses who do not observe the Torah that will gladly work in your place, it’s just time to decide whether you will obey the commands of YAHWEH or not.  Doing good can also be helping the poor, a medical emergency in the family, stopping a dog or child from being hit by a car, saving them from drowning etc. All of these help SUSTAIN LIFE! Nowhere are wages being earned in any of the scriptures, the goal is to rest, to eat, read, pray, worship our Father YAHWEH who has blessed us with all of these things. He is simply saying give Him 24 hours away from the world and draw closer to Him and His ways, because this day is about Him and not ourselves.

We just have to make the decision to be obedient to our Father YAHWEH or not, it’s all a test. Will you pass the test in trust in the provision of YAHWEH or will you trust in yourself to provide while profaning the Sabbath? I personally, had a decision to make when it was “mandatory” to work on the Sabbath or be fired and I choose to stand for the commands of YAHWEH and I said I wasn’t going to work and I was blessed for trusting in Him.

Exodus 16:4

And YAHWEH 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.”

The purpose is to turn away from work and our own desires on this day, to rest, praise and worship of Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA on this day.

Question: Who are the male and female servants? Can you children work?

Exodus 20:9-11

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 YAHWEH your ELOHIM. You do not do any work- you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days YAHWEH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. There YAHWEH blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.”

We see a part of the instructions that our ELOHIM gives is not only for you not to work, but also your sons and daughters, so if you have children living with you and they are working on the Sabbath it is your duty to make sure they stop because it’s our duty as a parent to raise up children according to YAHWEH’s word:

 Deuteronomy 6:6-9

And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart, and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up, and shall bind them as a sign on our hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.”

What about the male and female servants? To apply this in modern day, if you go to a restaurant or even a drive through window of a fast food place, they have to work in order to prepare your food and ring up your order which means that they have provided a service for you; therefore, they have become your male or female servants for the time period which would violate the Sabbath. Even going to the grocery store and going through a check out or even a self-checkout is still causing someone else to work for you. Someone had to open the store, stock the shelves, ring you up, or even caught on the self-check-out machine. Also, if you own a business and keep the business open and pay employees to work on the Sabbath then this is also violation of the commandment, because they are your male and females servants that you are paying to conduct a service for you and others. Make sure you close down shop on the Sabbath day.

Question: Buying or selling on Sabbath?

This correlates with the question about the modern day servants. But it also includes that we are not supposed to buy or sell on the Sabbath Day. This includes anything for your business, buying something on Amazon, Craigslist, yard sales, flea markets, or paying bills online. We have six days to do all of these things, but the seventh day is holy unto YAHWEH.

Jubilees 50:8

And the man that does any work on it shall die. Whoever lies with his wife or whoever says he shall do whatever on it- that he shall depart on a journey thereon in regard to ANY BUYING OR SELLING…”

Buying and selling is so serious that we can look to Nehemiah’s example:

Nehemiah 13:15-21

In those days I saw in Judah those treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and brining in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, and figs, and all kids of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned on the day they SOLD FOOD. And men of Tsor dwelt there, bringing in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and Jerusalem. Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, “What EVIL matter is this that you are doing, PROFANING the Sabbath day? Did not your ancestors do the same so that our ELOHIM brought all this evil on us and on this city? Yet you bring added wrath on Yisra’el by PROFANING the Sabbath.” And it came to be, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I stood some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day. And the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares spend the night outside Jerusalem once or twice, and I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, I lay hands on you!” From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath.”

Nehemiah was literally referring to what YAHWEH spoke in:

Jeremiah 17:21-27

Thus said YAHWEH, “Guard yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem, not take a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day, nor do any work. And you shall sanctify the Sabbath day, as I commanded your ancestors (10 commandments.) But they did not obey, or incline their ear, and they made their neck stiff not to hear and not to receive instruction. And it shall be, if you diligently obey Me,” declares YAHWEH, “to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and sanctify the Sabbath day, to do nor work in it, then kings and heads sitting on the throne of David shall enter in through the gates of this city, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their heads-the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall be inhabited forever. And they shall come from the cities of Judah and from the places around Jerusalem, and form the land of Benjamin and from the low country, from the mountains and form the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and slaughtering’s, grain offerings and incense, brining offerings of praise to the House of YAHWEH. But if you do not obey Me to sanctify the Sabbath day, and not to bear a burden when entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I shall kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall consume the palaces of Jerusalem, and not be quenched.”

So as we see that buying or selling on the Sabbath is so serious that Nehemiah not only closed the gates to prevent people from buying or selling, but also place guards to stop them.

Question: Can you cook on Sabbath?

The ultimate goal is to rest as our ELOHIM did on the Sabbath and get everything prepared, chopped and cooked, which is why Friday is called “Preparation Day.”

Luke 23:54-56

And it was Preparation day, and the Sabbath was approaching. And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid. And having returned, they prepared spices and perfumed. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the Command.”

Exodus 16:23-29

And he said to them, “This is what YAHWEH has said, ‘Tomorrow is a REST, a Sabbath holy to YAHWEH. That which you bake, bake; and that which your cook, cook (So no cooking). And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until morning. And they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm was in it. And Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to YAHWEH, 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 YAHWEH said to Moses, “How long shall you refuse to guard My Commands and My Torot? See, because YAHWEH has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for TWO DAYS ON THE SIXTH DAY. Let each one stay in his place, do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.”

Just like we read in Luke 23 about Preparation Day, we see that our Father YAHWEH already instituted back in Exodus 16, by providing twice as much manna on the 6th day so they could rest on the Sabbath, and this pattern was established for 40 years in the wilderness. They did all of their preparation on the 6th day and laid it up until the Sabbath, the same way we should do today.

Jubilees 50:8-9

And whoever draws water (if you have a well for example) thereon which he had not PREPARED for himself on the SIXTH DAY, and whoever takes up any burden to carry it out of his tent out of his house shall die. You shall DO NO WORK whatever on the Sabbath Day except that you have PREPARED for yourselves on the SIXTH DAY, so as to eat, and drink, and rest, and guard the Sabbath from ALL WORK on that day, to bless YAHWEH your ELOHIM, who has given you a day of Festival, and a holy day, and a day of the holy reign for all Yisra’el is this day among their days forever.”

As we can see Preparation is key and we must get everything done so we can rest. There were times when I would prepare my meals two days in advance for the Sabbath if I thought I would be pushing it before the sunsets, especially in the winter when the sunsets at 4:30 pm. I stated earlier that I do not use an oven, stove, or microwave on the Sabbath, but if I want something hot I’ll put a soup or chili in the crockpot and leave it on before the Sabbath begins. Just some ideas to give you. I personally do warm food as a personal conviction, so I encourage you to take everything to YAHWEH in prayer.

Question: Can you have sex on the Sabbath?

Jubilees 50:8

And the man that does any work on it shall die. Whoever profanes that day, whoever lies with his wife or whoever says he shall do whatever on it…”

Isaiah 58:13

If you do turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day, and shall call the Sabbath ‘a delight,’ the sanctified of YAHWEH ‘esteemed,’ and shall esteem it, NOT DOING YOUR OWN WAY, NOR FINDING YOUR OWN PLEASURE (Sex is a pleasurable act), nor speaking your own words, then you shall delight yourself in YAHWEH. And I shall cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and feed you with the inheritance of Jacob your ancestor. For the mouth of YAHWEH has spoken!”

We are to turn away from our pleasures, our desires and even not to speak our own idles words on the Sabbath, so that means refrain from worldly talk of politics or things that don’t esteem our ELOHIM! Plus, you can go a whole 24 hours without having relations with your spouse. Also, we can find more confirmation in Leviticus:

Leviticus 15:18

And when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they both shall bath in water, and be unclean until evening.”

Therefore, having relations on the Sabbath means that you will be unclean on YAHWEH’s holy day. It would be best to wait until after the Sabbath passes.

Question: Can I fast on the Sabbath?

Jubilees 50:12

And every man who does ANY WORK thereon, or goes on a journey, or tills his field (garden work), whether in his house or any other place, and whoever lights a fire, or rides on any beast (horseback riding), or travels by ship on the sea (cruises), and whoever smites or kills whatever, or slaughters a beast or bird, or whoever catches an animal or bird or a fish (hunting and fishing) or whoever FASTS or goes to battle on the Sabbath.”

Judith 8:6

And she fasted all the days of her widowhood, EXCEPT THE SABBATH, and evenings of the Sabbaths, and the new moons, and the evening of the new moons and the Festivals and Appointed Times of the house of Yisra’el.”

A good question does arise when people want to know why YESHUA fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. And my opinion is that YESHUA was taken to the wilderness to be tried by the devil, but nowhere else in scripture is there record of YESHUA making it a habit to fast on the Sabbath, it is even recorded in Luke 6 about how His disciples plucked grain on the Sabbath to eat, and I personally have not seen it mentioned of any of the disciples fasting on the Sabbath. And another good question is what about when Moses fasted for 40 days and 40 nights while receiving the 10 commandments on Mount Sinai? I personal belief is what scripture says in:

Mathew 4:4

But He answering, said, “It has been written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but every word that comes from the mouth of YAHWEH.” YESHUA was quoting Deuteronomy 8:3

And He humbled you, and not let you suffer hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your ancestors know, to make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but by all that comes from the mouth of YAHWEH.”

So I believe that Moses was literally sitting in the presence of our ELOHIM and having a feast of the Living Words that were being spoken to him. He didn’t need earthly food, because He was eating the spiritual food of every word that was spoken out of the mouth of YAHWEH!

Question: Can I travel on the Sabbath?

This question isn’t so easily answered and again I am not the authority on it, but I will present four scriptures pertaining to it. So again, please take everything to our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA in prayer and see how the RUACH HA’KODESH The Holy Spirit leads you.

Exodus 16:29

See, because YAHWEH has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for two days on the sixth day. Let each one stay in his place, do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.” So the people rested on the seventh day.”

Jubilees 50:12

And every man who does any work thereon, OR GOES ON A JOURNEY…”

So the question then becomes what is constituted as a journey? What is the distance? Because we see this mentioned in the New Testament:

Acts 1:12

Then they went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is NEAR JERUSALEM, A SABBATH DAY’S JOURNEY.”

There must be something here because YESHUA said in Mathew 24:20

But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath Day.”

So say its 2,000 feet and others disagree; however, for me I choose to stay in the house and refrain from traveling, but again, this is what I do, and I encourage anyone reading or listening to pray to see what He leads you to do. As always may our Father YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

Forgive or you WILL NOT be forgiven!

Psalms 103:8-17

YAHWEH is compassionate and showing favor, patient, and great in kindness. He does not always strive, nor maintain it forever. He has not done to us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our wickedness’s, for as the heavens are higher above the earth, so great is His kindness toward those who fear Him; as far as east is from west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a dad has compassion for his children, so YAHWEH has compassion for those who fear Him. For He knows how we are made; He remembers that we are dust. A man’s days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind blows over it, and it is no more, and its place no longer remembers it. But the kindness of YAHWEH is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children.”

2 Peter 3:9

YAHWEH is not slow in regard to the promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward us, not wanting that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

As we see our Father YAHWEH’s mercy endures forever. He is patient, kind, loving, and forgiving. He did not strike us down for or sins knowing that we are worthy of death. Paul said:

 Romans 6:23

 “For the wages of sin is death. But the gift of ELOHIM is eternal life through YESHUA HA’MASHIACH our Master.”

Since we all have sinned before a holy ELOHIM we are worthy of death, but YAHWEH chose not to kill us, but rather forgive us! YAHWEH sent His only begotten Son to become sin for us and FORGIVE US of our sins! To put this into perspective, just think of the worst thing that you have ever done in your life, and if you repent of that sin He will forgive you, and receive you with open arms just like the prodigal son parable that YESHUA told. How many of us could receive someone with open arms after they have done something to us that we deem is unforgivable? Like taking all of your money, not paying you back what they owe, stealing from you, talking about you behind your back, or catching your husband or wife committing adultery? Would you forgive them?

Mathew 18:21-22

Then Peter came to Him and said, My Master, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times? YESHUA said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.”

1 John 3:15

Everyone hating his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has everlasting life staying in him.”

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things for believers to overcome, because it requires humility and love to not hold a grudge against someone. Many people will lose friends and family over this because they have hardened their hearts and do not want to say the words “I forgive you.” The enemy has placed it on the hearts of believers to accept the mentality of pride when they are wronged by saying “You don’t want to see my bad side”, “You don’t want to try to me or get on my bad side”, “I wear my religion on my sleeve.” “If this person does this to me they are going to know about it.” This hardening of the heart has no room for repentance, nor does it allow you to forgive someone. Not forgiving someone and holding a grudge can destroy marriages, friendships, and families.

Testament of Zebulon 8:1-6

Therefore, my children, you yourselves should have compassion towards every man with kindness, that YAHWEH also may have compassion and kindness upon you. Because in the last days ELOHIM will send His compassion on the earth, and wherever He finds bowels of kindness He dwells in him. For in the degree in which a man has compassion upon his neighbors, in the same degree has YAHWEH also in him. And when we went down to Egypt, Joseph bore no malice against us. To the ones on guard, you also, my children, approve yourselves without malice, and love one another; do not set down in account, each one of you, evil against his brother. For this breaks unity and DIVIDES ALL FAMILIES, and troubles the being, and wears away the face.”

Remember, YESHUA died for us to forgive us of our sins even though He committed no sin and He did not ask questions or hold it over our heads. He simply went to the execution stake and was obedient to the point of death because He loves us. How easy would it have been for YESHUA to say “You know what I remember that time you broke the Sabbath, I remember the time you celebrated pagan holidays, I remember every sin you did, so no I don’t forgive you and never will.” Not only would we be crushed knowing we have no salvation, but He would be completely justified. However He didn’t do this, nor did it ever enter into His mind; therefore, we must walk like YESHUA walked.

1 John 2:6

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

Mathew 6:14-15

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Father of the heavens shall also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither shall you Father forgive your trespasses.”

I expect to be forgiven but I don’t have to forgive!

This seems to be the mentality of many who say they know YESHUA! If this is how you are thinking today, please repent and guard yourselves because YESHUA spoke on this very matter:

Mathew 18:23-35

Because of this the reign of the heavens is like a certain man, a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand Talanton, but he was unable to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. Then the servant fell down before him, saying, “Master, have patience with me, and I shall pay you all.’ “And the master of that servant was moved with compassion released him, and forgave him the debt. And that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver pieces. And he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe! Then his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I shall pay you all.’ “But he would not, and went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. And when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were deeply grieved, and came and reported to their master all that had taken place. Then his master called him and said to him, ‘Wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt seeing you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, as I also had compassion on you? And his master was wroth, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. So also My Father of the heavens shall do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

As you can see the servant that was forgiven owed way more than the one who owed him. We can liken this to YAHWEH and YESHUA having compassion on us for our many sins, but still forgave us through the blood of His Son. But then we go out to someone who has wronged us and cannot forgive them for the small trespass against us when we are all guilty of greater debt of sins. YAHWEH forgave us therefore we shall certainly forgive others, and as we see this deed will not go unpunished on judgment day.

What commonly takes place is that if a person does something to offend someone else then they feel that the one they wronged is required to forgive them saying “I said I was sorry!”. But the moment that same person gets offended by what someone does to them, then they cannot find it in their heart to forgive them as they forgave you. Is this how a believer should act? Does our Father YAHWEH do this to us? Absolutely not! The first things believers will quickly say when they sin is “YAHWEH will forgive me!” So you automatically expect YAHWEH to forgive you, but that you are not automatically expected to forgive others? That is not how YAHWEH works!

Ephesians 4:31-32

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and displeasure, and uproar, and slander be put away from you, along with all evil. And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, FORGIVING one another, as YAHWEH also forgave you in Messiah.”

Sirach 10:6

Do not bear hatred against your neighbor for every wrong; and do not act as an insulter at all.”

Sirach 28:1-5

He who is vengeful shall find vengeance from YAHWEH, and He shall surely keep account of his sins. Forgive your neighbor the harm that he has done to you, so your sins shall also be forgiven when you pray. One man bears hatred against another; and should he seek forgiveness from YAHWEH? He shows no kindness to a man, who is like himself; and does he ask forgiveness of his own sins? If he who is but flesh maintains hatred, who shall pray forgiveness for his sins?

Testament of Simeon 4:1-6

And my dad asked concerning me, because he saw that I was sad. And I said to him, I’ am pained in my liver.’ For I mourned more than they all, because I was guilty of the selling Joseph. And when we went down into Egypt, and he bound me as a spy, I knew that I was suffering justly, and I did not grieve. Now Joseph was a good man, and had the Spirit of ELOHIM within him; being compassionate and pitiful, he bore no malice against me; but loved me even as the rest of his brothers. Beware, therefore, my children, of all jealousy and envy, and walk in singleness of being with good heart, keeping in mind Joseph your dad’s brother, that ELOHIM may give you also favor and esteem, and blessing upon your heads, even as you saw in Joseph’s case. All his days he did not despise us concerning this thing (forgiveness), but loved us as his own being, and esteemed us beyond his own sons, and gave us riches, and cattle and fruits.”

We see that Joseph was hated by his brothers and they sold him into slavery, yet he did not hold it against them. Joseph forgave them and had them to live in the best part of Egypt and provided for them during the famine. How many people would be able to forgive their family for doing this to them? How many can forgive their mom or dad if they abandoned them at a young age? We all need to be like Joseph and forgive and like YESHUA said forgive seventy times seven. And always look to the greatest act of forgiveness and love that we cannot even comprehend, the blood atonement of YESHUA!

So if you are holding a grudge against a friend, neighbor or family member in your heart let today be the day that you tell them “I forgive you.” Because holding on to such weight will not only destroy you physically, but you will have to give an account for this on judgment day, so ask yourself this question is it worth it? The answer is NO!

May YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

 

 

Choose LIFE or choose DEATH!

Saved by grace alone?  Are the commandments are done away with? Do all you have to do is a sinner’s prayer to be saved without being obedient to laws of the Torah? Is there a connection between keeping the Torah (the first five books of the Bible which are our Father YAHWEH’s guidelines and instructions) and life and death?

Many Christians today are walking in a false religion made up by men and think that they are walking in truth. They have twisted all of Paul’s letters to support a lawless doctrine by saying the commandments are done away with or just for the Jews! Even if Paul was hypothetically preaching a lawless doctrine he would need another witness outside of himself. Mathew 18:16 says “Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”  I have spoken on this topic many times that Paul was NOT a lawless man, but he did in fact keep the Sabbath and observed all of the Holy Days that many say are for the Jews! For further information on this please visit yeshuasavesall.com, click on the free store link and download the free article titled “Are Christians twisting Paul’s words to their own destruction?”

Have Christians chosen the broad path that leads to death and eternal torment? Instead of entering in through the narrow gate that YESHUA spoke of in Mathew 7:13? You have to ask yourself what is narrow or hard pressed about not being obedient to our Father YAHWEH, not sacrificing anything in this world, not dying to you flesh and desire, living in sin and doing whatever you want by breaking the commandments? Wouldn’t this qualify as the broad path that leads to destruction? We will examine scripture to see if keeping the commandments equates to life versus not keeping the commandments equating to death; also we will reveal that YESHUA is the Written Word that became Living Flesh. If you reject the Torah then you are indirectly rejecting YESHUA which is a dangerous thing to do.

Revelation 12:9

And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old called the Devil and Satan, who leads ALL the world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.”

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

For such are false emissaries, deceptive workers, masquerading as emissaries of Messiah. And no wonder! For Satan himself masquerades as a messenger of light! It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.”

These are clear scriptures that show that Satan’s whole goal to destroy man-kind and lead the whole world astray. He appears an angel of light as if he is on your side to lead you to eternal life, but this is what we call deception! He doesn’t show up with devil horns and pitchfork, he has to approach you in a manner that you will accept. The whole point of being deceived is NOT KNOWING that you are deceived!  How does Satan do this? Through religion! There are over 51,000 different denominations of Christianity all created by men dating back as early as 1608 when he created the Baptist religion through John Smith. So my question is, YESHUA walked the earth over 2,000 years ago, how can anyone follow a religion created by a man 400 years ago? And many other religions came later in the 1800’s. Christians all over the world are part of a denomination each following its own version of the truth, all while neglecting the Torah, commandments, laws and decrees, the very Guidelines and instructions of our Father YAHWEH! Satan has convinced 99% of the world to reject the 7th Day Sabbath for worship of the SUN on SUN-day. Again, he has deceived many and sent them down the broad path of destruction through religion!

Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 11 that Satan can transform as a messenger of light and his servants masquerade as servants righteousness. How as he accomplished this? Satan has told Christians that they can break the commandments of YAHWEH by saying “There are for the Jews”, “They are saved by grace alone”, and all you have to do as say a “sinner’s prayer and you are saved.” By selling this lie to Christians he has told them that “they will not die for breaking the commandments” the same way he told Eve that “she would not die” for breaking the ONE commandment that He gave to Adam, and what happened when they disobeyed? Sin and death came into the world, and they were banished from the Garden of Eden. Satan is telling this exact same lie today to the masses, except this time he is telling it through the pulpit of churches and with false doctrine, and instead of being banished from the garden they will be banished from eternal life. The preachers that do this are masquerading as servants or righteousness.

The choice is yours to obey and live, or disobey and die!

From the very beginning a choice was given to man to choose life or death, and sadly many today are following in the footsteps of what happened to Adam.

Genesis 2:9

And out of the ground YAHWEH ELOHIM made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, with the TREE OF LIFE in the midst of the garden and the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. Verse 16 “And YAHWEH ELOHIM COMMANDED the man, saying, “Eat of every tree of the garden, but do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat of it you shall certainly die.”

We see two trees in the midst of the garden, one represents life and the other represents death. The same way we are also given a choice; and the tree of life is like YAHWEH’s Torah, which is His Son YESHUA who is Written Word that became Living Flesh; and the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil is those who have chosen to be lawless and break the commandments! I want to be clear that we need the blood of YESHUA’s sacrifice to be washed clean and to be redeemed to our Father YAHWEH, but scripture clearly tells us that the commandments are how we know Him (1 John 2:2-4) and how we love Him (John 14:21).

Leviticus 18:5

And you shall guard My Laws and My Right-Rulings, which a man does and LIVES BY THEM. I am YAHWEH.”

Ezekiel 20:20-21 (Parenthesis are my emphasis)

And sanctify My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, to know that I am YAHWEH your ELOHIM.” “But the children rebelled against Me (Just as 99% of the world has chosen to do today). They did not walk in My Laws, and My Right-Rulings they did not guard to do them, which, IF A MAN DOES, HE SHALL LIVE BY THEM. They profaned My Sabbaths, so I resolved to pour out My wrath on them to complete My displeasure against them in the wilderness.”

Deuteronomy 30:14-19 (Parenthesis are my emphasis)

For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart-to do it. “See, I have put before you today LIFE AND GOOD, and DEATH AND EVIL (Tree of Life and Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), In that I am commanding you today to love YAHWEH your ELOHIM, to walk in His Ways, and to guard His Commands, and His Laws, and His Right-Rulings. And you SHALL LIVE and increase, and YAHWEH your ELOHIM shall bless you in the land which you go to possess.” Verse 19 “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have put before you LIFE AND DEATH, the blessing and the curse. There you shall CHOOSE LIFE, SO THAT YOU LIVE, both you and your seed.”

Sirach 15:10-20

For praise shall be uttered in wisdom, and YAHWEH shall make it prosper. Do not say, “It is because of YAHWEH that I fell away.” For you ought NOT TO DO that which He hates. Do not say, “He has caused me to stray.” For He has no need of a sinful man. YAHWEH hates all abomination; and those who fear ELOHIM do not love it. He Himself made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel; so you shall guard the Commands, and act trustworthily. He has put fire and water before you; stretch out your hand to which you choose. LIFE AND DEATH is before man; and what he chooses shall be given him. For the wisdom of YAHWEH is great, and He is mighty in power, and sees all. And His eyes are upon those who fear Him, and He knows every work of man. He has commanded no man to do wickedly, neither has He given any man permission to sin.”

The book of Sirach says YAHWEH has not given any man permission to sin, and what is the definition of sin?

1 John 3:4

Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness (or transgression of the law).” YAHWEH nor His Son YESHUA has given man permission to sin by being lawless and breaking the commandments He has given us to keep!

2 Esdras 7:125-129

For while we lived and committed wickedness, we did not consider that we should begin to suffer for it after death.” Then He answered me, and said, “This is the condition of the battle, that man who is born upon the earth shall fight; that, if he is overcome, he shall suffer as you have said, but if he overcomes, he shall receive that which I say. For this is the life of which Moses spoke to the people while he lived, saying, ‘Choose life, that you may LIVE.” (Deuteronomy 30:15) Nevertheless they did not believe him, nor even the prophets after him, nor Myself who has spoken to them, that there should not be such grief in their destruction, as shall be the joy over those who are persuaded to salvation.”

Baruk 4:1-2 (Parenthesis are my emphasis)

This is the Book of the Commands of ELOHIM, and the Law that endures FOREVER; all those who guard it shall attain LIFE (Those who obey the commandments), but those who leave it shall DIE (Those who say the commandments are done away with). Turn, O Jacob, and take hold of it; walk in the presence of IT’S LIGHT, that you may be illuminated.”

How does Scripture define light?

Proverbs 6:23

For the Command is a lamp, and the TORAH A LIGHT.”

So going back to the scripture from Baruk we can read as: “This is the Book of the Commands of ELOHIM, and the Law that endures forever; all those who guard it shall attain LIFE, but those who leave it shall DIE. Turn, O Jacob, and take hold of it; walk in the presence of IT’S TORAH, that you may be illuminated.”

As we see that those who walk in the Light of The Torah shall live, but those who reject it as Christianity has done shall die. Walking in the Torah will illuminate your path on the narrow gate to eternal life. The following is from the 12 Patriarch’s which includes the final words to their sons before they passed away.

Testament of Levi 19:1

And now, my children, you have heard all; CHOOSE, therefore, for yourselves either the LIGHT (TORAH) OR DARKNESS, either the TORAH OF YAHWEH or the works of Beliyya’al (wickedness or worthlessness).

Testament of Judah 26:1

Therefore my children, guard ALL the TORAH OF YAHWEH, for there is hope for ALL them who hold fast to His ways.” Judah is letting us know that holiness and righteousness are the ways of YAHWEH and walking in His commandments is part of achieving that along with His Son YESHUA who IS the Word!

Testament of Issachar 5:1-2

Therefore my children, guard the TORAH OF ELOHIM, and get singleness of heart…”

Testament of Issachar 6:1

Therefore my children, know that in the last times your sons will forsake singleness of heart, and will cling to insatiable desire. And leaving innocence will draw near to malice. And forsaking the COMMANDS OF YAHWEH, they will cling to Beliyya’al.”

Testament of Zebulon 5:1

And now, my children, I bid you to GUARD THE COMMAND OF YAHWEH, and to show kindness to your neighbors, and to have compassion towards all, not towards men only, but also towards beasts.”

Testament of Dan 5:1

Therefore, my children GUARD THE COMMANDS OF YAHWEH, and guard His TORAH. Depart from anger, and hateful lying, that YAHWEH may dwell among you, and Beliyya’al may feel from you.”

Testament of Naphtali 2:6

As a man’s strength, so also is his work; and as his mind, so also is his skill; and as his purpose, so also is his achievement; and as his heart, so also is his mouth; as his eye, so also is his sleep; as his being, so also is his word, either in the TORAH OF YAHWEH or in the works of Beliyya’al.”

Testament of Gad 3:1

And now, my children, listen to the words of truth to work righteousness, and ALL the TORAH OF THE MOST HIGH, and go not astray through the spirit of hatred.”

Testament of Asher 6:1-3

Therefore, my children, GUARD THE COMMANDS OF YAHWEH, following the TRUTH single-mindedly. For they that are double-minded are guilty of double sin; for they both do the evil thing, and they have pleasure in them that do it, following the example of the spirits of error, and striving against mankind. Therefore you, my children, GUARD THE TORAH OF YAHWEH, and do not pay attention to evil as to good; but look to the thing that is really good, and GUARD IT IN ALL THE COMMANDS OF YAHWEH.”

Asher said “do not pay attention to evil as to good.”  Which correlates with Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.”

Now remember we defined what Light is from Proverbs 6:23 as the Torah. So using this definition and plugging it in to Isaiah we can see that many put darkness (lawlessness) before light which is the Torah. Many say it’s a curse, legalistic, and bondage to keep the commandments which is a form of calling good evil!

Testament of Joseph 11:1

Therefore my children, you also have the fear of ELOHIM in all your works before your eyes, and honor your brothers. For EVERYONE who DOES THE TORAH OF YAHWEH will be LOVED by Him.”

John 14:21

He who possesses My Commands and guards (does) them, it is he who LOVES ME. And he who LOVES ME shall be LOVED by My Father, and I shall LOVE him and manifest Myself to him.”

Keeping the commandments is how we show our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA that we LOVE THEM and when we do so He will LOVE us, so the Testament of Joseph agrees with what YESHUA said in John 14:21.

Testament of Benjamin 10:2-3

And after he said these things, he said to them, “Therefore my children, know that I am dying. So do truth and righteousness each one to his neighbor, and judgment to confirmation and GUARD THE TORAH OF YAHWEH and His Commands.”

YESHUA is the Torah made flesh

YESHUA always declared who He was and many don’t catch it or choose to ignore it. So we will look scripture and break down some the words that He spoke to clarify this. YESHUA said in:

John 14:6

YESHUA said to him, “I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

So how does Scripture define The Way, The Truth, and The Life?

THE WAY- Psalms 119:1 “Blessed are the perfect in THE WAY, who walk in the TORAH of YAHWEH.”

THE TRUTH- Psalms 119:142 “Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and Your TORAH IS TRUTH.”

THE LIFE- Proverbs 13:14 “The TORAH of the wise is a fountain of LIFE.
                   
Deuteronomy 32:46 “Lay your heart on all the words with which I warn you            today, so that you command your children to guard to do all the Words of this Torah. For it is not a worthless Word for you, because it is YOUR LIFE, and by this Word you prolong your days on the land which you pass over the Jordan to possess.”

Now, we can clearly see what YESHUA was saying when He said that He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. He was saying that He is the Written Word that became Living Flesh. That He is the Living Torah, as all three that He mentioned, The Way, The Truth and the Life ALL point right back to the Torah. Another example is:

John 5:45-47

Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, in whom you have put your expectation. For if you believed Moses, you would have believed Me since he wrote about Me. BUT IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE HIS WRITINGS (TORAH), HOW SHALL YOU BELIEVE MY WORDS?”

 Moses wrote the written Torah that 99% of the world has rejected saying that it is done away with, yet YESHUA is that exact same Torah made flesh. YESHUA is saying that you cannot believe His Words since He is the Living Torah if you don’t believe the written Torah by Moses because They are One and the same, it’s a package deal. How can you believe the Words of the Living Torah when you rejected the Words of the written Torah? You simply cannot! So when people say that the Torah is done away with, that means they have indirectly rejected YESHUA the very One that they claim to follow! Do you see the deception here? This has been Satan’s goal and why infiltrated the world with religion to lead them astray with false doctrines, and telling the same lie that leads to death just as he did to Adam and Eve.

 Revelation 12:17

And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those GUARDING THE COMMANDS OF YAHWEH AND POSSESSING THE WTINESS OF YESHUA HA’MASHAICH (the Anointed One).”

To put this in perspective Satan is only threatened by those who keep the commandments and believe in YESHUA which is faith and works because they are the obedient saints. If you are not doing both you are not a threat to him, because he is saying that you are a disobedient servant. Why wage war on them when they lawless just as Satan is?

I pray this is an eye opener to the world to walk in obedience by keeping the Commands of the TORAH and believing in YESHUA who is the Living Torah made flesh.

May YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

 

 

YAHWEH can use you!

When you look at this world and how they view and measure success it’s always based on your physical attributes, education level, jobs, cars, money, house, and other worldly things. But our Father YAHWEH doesn’t base what you can do for Him off of any of those things, because He can use anyone to bring esteem to His Name! And most of the time in scripture YAHWEH will use the unexpected people, things, and impossible looking situations of this world to show His power, so that you cannot take the credit for what is being done by saying “it was my strength, my money, my army, my plan, my wisdom, my education, etc.”

So therefore, He can use you too, just make sure it’s not your will but His will! Some people will look down on a poor man and that poor man can be filled with the wisdom of ELOHIM and shame someone who thought they were wise! Why? Because YAHWEH can use anyone!

1 Corinthians 1:27-29

But ELOHIM has chosen the foolish of the world to put to shame the wise, and ELOHIM has chosen the weak of the world to put to shame the strong. And ELOHIM has chosen the low-born of the world and the despised, and the ones that are not, that He might bring to naught the ones that are, so that NO FLESH should boast in His presence.”

As we see from the words of Paul is that YAHWEH chosen the unexpected so that no one can boast in their own power or wisdom as if they are the reason they were victorious. In this way, YAHWEH can make His power known to the entire world. Peter, Andrew, John and James were fisherman (Mathew 4:18-22) and we know the disciples went on to spread the gospel, baptize, and perform healings and cast out demons, Moses felt that he wasn’t good enough to speak and YAHWEH sent his brother Aaron with him to deliver His people out of  Egypt. Let, YAHWEH do His work through you by The RUACH Ha’ KODESH. Let’s look at some examples from scripture:

Judges 6:12-16

And the Messenger of YAHWEH appeared to him (Gideon), and said to him, “YAHWEH is with you, you mighty brave one!” And Gideon said to Him, “O my master, if YAHWEH is with us, why has all this come upon us? And where are all His wonders which our ancestors related to us, saying, ‘Did not YAHWEH bring us up from Egypt?’ But now YAHWEH has left us and given us into the hands of Midian.” And YAHWEH said, “Go in this strength of yours, and you shall save Yisra’el from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” And he said to Him, “O YAHWEH, with what do I save Yisra’el? See, my clan is THE WEAKEST IN MANASHSHEH (Manasseh), AND I AM THE LEAST IN MY DAD’S HOUSE.” And YAHWEH said to him, “Because I am with you, you shall smite the Midianites as ONE MAN.”

Gideon said his clan was the weakest in the tribe of Manashsheh and that he was the least in his dad’s house, yet YAHWEH used Him to deliver Yisra’el from the hand of the Midianites.

Judges 9:15-21

And YAHWEH had revealed to Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying, “At this time tomorrow I shall send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him leader over My people Yisra’el, and he shall save My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have seen My people, because their cry has come to me.” And when Samuel saw Saul, YAHWEH said to him, “See the man of whom I spoke to you. Let this one govern My people.” And Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, “Please inform me, where is the house of the seer? And Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today. And tomorrow I shall let you go and make known to you all that is in your heart. “As for you donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not lay your heart on them, for they have been found. And on whom is all the desire of Yisra’el? Is it not on you and on all your dad’s house? And Saul answered and said, “AM I NOT A BENJAMITE-OF THE SMALLEST OF THE TRIBES OF YISRA’EL, AND MY CLAN THE LEAST OF ALL THE CLANS OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN? WHY THEN DO YOU SPEAK, THIS TO ME?”

As we can see, Saul said the exact same thing that Gideon did about his clan being the smallest and the least of all the other clans, yet YAHWEH chose to reveal His power through them. YAHWEH could have chosen to use the largest and strongest clans instead He chose NOT to so that they could not boast in their own strength. An example of this was when Gideon’s army was cut from 32,000 to 300:

Judges 7:2-7

And YAHWEH said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for Me to give Midian into their hands, LEST YIRSRA’EL BOAST AGAINST ME, SAYING, ‘MY OWN HAND HAS SAVED ME.” And now, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is afraid and trembling, let him turn back, and leave Mount Gilead.” “And twenty-two thousand of the people turned back, while ten thousand remained. And YAHWEH said to Gideon, “The people are still too many. Bring them down to the water, and let Me prove them for you there. And it shall be, that of whom I say to you,’ let him go with you. And of whomever I say to you, ‘This one does not go with you,’ let him not go.” So he brought the people down to the water. And YAHWEH said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, separate him from everyone who bows down on his to drink.” And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men, and all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water. And YAHWEH said to Gideon, “By the THREE HUNDRED MEN who lapped I save you, and shall give Midian into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his place.”

Again, YAHWEH could have used the whole 32,000 men He had at His disposal, but He doesn’t need the strength of men! He cut the army down to 300 to show His power and do the unexpected! He wants to display to the world that He can take the least of something and make it great by His power!

1 Maccabees 3:13-23

Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Suria, heard that Judah had gathered a multitude to himself and an army of the trustworthy to go out with him to battle; he said, “I will make myself a name and reign in honor; for I will go fight with Judah and those that are with him, who despise the king’s command.” So he prepared to go up, and a mighty army of the wicked went with him to help him, and to be avenged on the children of Yisra’el. And when he came near to the ascent of Beyth Horon, Judah went out to meet him with a small army, who, when they saw the army coming to meet them, said to Judah, “How shall we be able, being so FEW, to fight against SO GREAT A MULTITUDE AND SO STRONG, seeing we are ready to faint from fasting all this day? Judah answered them, “It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the ELOHIM of the heavens it is all the same-to deliver with A GREAT MULTITUDE, OR A SMALL COMPANY, for the overcoming of battle stands not in the multitude of an army; but STRENGTH COMES FROM THE HEAVENS. They come against us in great pride and wickedness to destroy us with our wives and children, and to plunder us, but we fight for our lives and our Laws. Therefore YAHWEH Himself will overthrow them before our face. And as for you, do not be afraid of them” Now as soon as he had ended speaking, he rushed upon them suddenly, and so Seron and his army was overthrown before him.”

Judah Maccabee and his army not only was smaller than the opposition, but they were also faint from fasting all day, and YAHWEH delivered them by His power and Judah already knew that He would. Seron of Samaria was not expecting to lose this battle, but again YAHWEH did the unexpected.

Even YESHUA came from the small tribe of Judah:

Micah 5:2

But you, Beyth Lehem Ephrata, you are FEW to be reckoned among the THOUSANDS OF JUDAH, out of you shall Once come forth to Me, to be a ruler of Yisra’el; and His goings forth were from the beginning, even from eternity.”

Furthermore, YESHUA did not appear on earth how Yisra’el expected Him to come, yet He is the One who saved us from our sins. Yisra’el was expecting a superhero riding on a white horse to destroy the Romans to restore the nation of Yisra’el, instead they got a suffering servant who took away the sins of the world, which again proves that YAHWEH does the unexpected. YESHUA’s death was a win for the world and many still don’t understand this.

Isaiah 53:1-4 (Septuagint)

O YAHWEH, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of YAHWEH been revealed? We brought a report as a child before Him; He is as a root in a thirsty land: He has NO FORM NOR COMELINESS; and we saw Him, but He had NOT FORM NOR BEAUTY. But His FORM was IGNOBLE (which means not honorable in character or purpose) and INFERIOR to that of the children of men; He was a Man in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for His face is turned from us: He was dishonored, and not esteemed.”

Again, YAHWEH did the opposite of what the world expects by sending YESHUA in a form that mankind didn’t accept, just as we have been outlining in this entire message. We know the world flocks to what they consider to be beautiful and I believe that fleshly response was part of the reason why YESHUA was rejected so scripture would be fulfilled.

1 Samuel16:6-7

And it came to be, when they came, that he (Samuel) saw Eliyab and thought, “The anointed of YAHWEH is indeed before Him.” But YAHWEH said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him, for not as man sees, for man looks at the eyes, but YAHWEH looks at the heart.”

And continuing on with this same chapter from Samuel we see that David who was the smallest and the youngest of 8 brothers was the one to become king. So again YAHWEH chose the unexpected to rule over His people.

1 Samuel 16:8-13

Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has YAHWEH chosen this one.” Next Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has YAHEWH chosen this one.” And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “YAHWEH has not chosen these.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are these all the young men?” And he said, “There remains yet the YOUNGEST, and see, he is tending the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him, for we do not turn round till he comes here.” And he sent and brought him in. and he was tanned, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And YAHWEH said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is the one! And Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of YAHWEH came upon David from that day and onwards. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.”

And just how we see that David was the youngest and became king, so was Jacob younger than his brother Esau, and YAHWEH chose the seed of Jacob as a holy people unto Himself and established a covenant with him, and through him came the 12 Tribes of Yisra’el (12 Patriarchs).

Genesis 25:21-23

And Isaac prayed to YAHWEH for his wife, because she was barren. And YAHWEH answered his prayer, and Rebecca his wife conceived. And within her the children struggled together, and she said, “If all is right, why am I this way? So she went to ask YAHWEH. And YAHWEH said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your body. And one people shall be stronger than the other, and THE OLDER SERVE THE YOUNGER.”

Joseph was the second youngest out of 12 brothers, and his brothers hated him because Jacob their dad loved Joseph the most and because of his dreams that he had they would bow down to him. And even though his brothers were older and even had battle experience, YAHWEH chose the least expected one to become second in command to Pharaoh in Egypt.

Genesis 45:7-8

And ELOHIM sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to give life to you by a great escape. So then, you did not send me here, but ELOHIM. And He has appointed me for a father to Pharaoh, and master of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.”

Finally, we know the account of David going against Goliath. All of the army of Yisra’el was afraid of them as grown men, but David the young man was not afraid because He knew that YAHWEH was with Him. So, again YAHWEH use the smallest and the youngest to fight against a giant and prevailed. This was very unexpected especially by Saul.

1 Samuel 17:32-50

And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him, your servant is going and shall fight with this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, you are NOT ABLE to go against this Philistine to fight with him, FOR YOU ARE BUT A YOUTH, and he a man of battle from his youth.” Then David said to Saul, “Your servant has been tending sheep for his father, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and smote it, and rescued from its mouth. And when it rose against me, I took hold of its beard, and smote it and killed. Your servant has smitten both lion and bear. And this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, seeing he has reproached the armies of the living ELOHIM. And David said, “YAHWEH, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He delivers me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and YAHWEH be with you!” Verse 49-51 “And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone, and slung it and smote the Philistine on his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground. Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and killed him, and there was no sword in the hand of David.”

 

So if the world makes you think you are too young or aren’t talented enough, tall enough, strong enough, smart enough, educated enough, rich enough, and not popular, take courage and know that if the world thinks poorly of you; that YAHWEH thinks highly of you, and wants to work through you. Even, if you have young children, continue to raise them up to follow YESHUA and keep the commandments because you don’t know what that child will become and how YAHWEH will use them for His purpose.

All of those mentioned above submitted to the will of YAHWEH and they were vessels that could be used, and as we have seen throughout scripture that YAHWEH will take the unexpected things of this world and do great things through them to bring esteem to His Name! So let YAHWEH do the same thing for you in your life today.

May our Father YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!

Were books removed to Hide YESHUA?

If you are currently reading the King James Bible, then some questions should arise. For example if the original 1611 King James Bible included the Apocrypha then why are you not reading the books it contained? And if they removed those books then what other books are they hiding from you? One thing for sure is that the 66 book canon that the world has accepted is not all of YAHWEH’s word. A book like 2 Esdras goes into great detail about eternal torment and flames for those who do not make it into the kingdom and have rejected YAHWEH’s ways, which would fly in the face of what Christianity is taught today.

I want to focus on the prophecies of YESHUA that are in these removed books that should give more evidence why these books should be read and included as Canon. I’ll read books from the Apocrypha and the Dead Sea scrolls and include some parallels from the 66 Books to prove again that YESHUA is our Savior, He was here from the beginning, He is The Son of YAHWEH, and that these books should be read. And ELOHIM willing soon I want to do a study of parallels with the 66 books with the Apocrypha.

The Book of Hanok (Enoch)

Enoch 1:1-2

And he took up his parable and said, “Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by ELOHIM, saw the vision of the Holy One (YESHUA) in the heavens, which the messengers (angels) showed me. And from them I heard all matters, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a DISTANT one which is to come.” End time prophecies who saw the end from the beginning.

The following scriptures from Enoch calls YESHUA the ELECT ONE which is the same as saying CHOSEN ONE OR ANNOINTED ONE as we will see first in Isaiah:

Isaiah 42:1-8

See, My Servant whom I uphold, My CHOSEN ONE (YESHUA), My being has delighted in! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He brings forth Right-Ruling to the nations. He does not cry out, nor lift up, nor causes His voice to be heard in the street. A crushed reed He does not break, and smoking flax He does not quench. He brings forth Right-Ruling in accordance with truth. He does not become weak or crushed, until He has established Right-Ruling in the earth. And the coastlands wait for His Torah.” Thus said the EL, YAHWEH, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, ,who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it: I, YAHWEH, have called You (YESHUA) in righteousness, and I take hold of Your hand and guard You, and give You for a Covenant to a people, for a Light to the gentiles (Luke 2:32) to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness from the prison house.”

Enoch 39:3-6

And in those days a whirlwind carried me off from the earth, and put me down at the end of the heavens. And there I saw another vision, the dwelling-places of the holy, and the resting-places of the righteous. Here my eyes saw their dwellings with His righteous messengers, and their resting-places with the holy. And they petitioned and interceded and prayed for the children of men, and righteousness flowed before them as water, and compassion like dew upon the earth. And so it is amongst them forever and ever. And in that place my eyes saw the ELECT ONE (YESHUA) of righteousness and of belief, and I saw his dwelling-place under the wings of YAHWEH of hosts. And righteousness shall prevail in His days, and the righteous and elect shall be without number before Him forever and ever.”

Enoch 45:1-6

And this is the second Parable concerning those who deny the Name of the dwelling of the saints and YAHWEH of hosts. And into the heavens they shall not ascend, and on the earth they shall not come. Such shall be the lot of the sinners who have denied the Name of YAHWEH of hosts, who are thus preserved for the day of suffering and tribulation. On that day My ELECT ONE (YESHUA) shall sit on the throne of esteem and shall try their works, and their places of rest shall be innumerable. And their beings shall grow strong within them when they see My elect ones, and those who have called upon My magnificent Name. Then will I cause My ELECT ONE to dwell among them, and I will transform the heavens and make it an eternal blessing and light. And I will transform the earth and make it a blessing, and I will cause My elect ones to dwell upon it (New Jerusalem), but the sinners and evil-doers shall not place a foot upon it. For I have provided and satisfied with peace My righteous ones and have caused them to dwell before Me. But for the sinners, there is judgment impending with Me, so that I shall destroy them from the face of the earth.”

Enoch 46:1-3

And there I saw One who had a Head of Days (YAHWEH), and His head was white like wool (Daniel 7:9 same description of YAHWEH’s hair), and with Him was another Being whose face had the appearance of a man, and His face was full of favor (YESHUA), like one of the holy messengers (angels). And I asked the messenger who went with me and showed me all the hidden matters, concerning the SON OF MAN, who He was, and where he was, why He went with the Head of Days (YAHWEH). And he answered and said to me, this is the SON OF MAN who has righteousness, with whom dwelt righteousness, and who revealed all the treasures of that which is hidden, because YAHWEH of hosts has CHOSEN HIM, and whose lot has the preeminence before YAHWEH of hosts in uprightness forever.”

Enoch 48:2-6

And at that hour the SON OF MAN was Named in the presence of YAHWEH of hosts, and His Name before the Head of Days. Even before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of the heavens were made, His Name was named before YAHWEH of hosts. He shall be a staff to the righteous to brace themselves upon and not fall, and He shall be the light of the nations, and the hope of those who are troubled in heart. All who dwell on the earth shall fall down and WORSHIP before Him, and will praise and bless and celebrate YAHWEH of hosts with song. And for this He has been chosen and hidden before Him, BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD and for eternity.” This scripture from Enoch confirms a scripture that we all know:

John 1:1-2

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with ELOHIM, and the Word was ELOHIM. He was in the beginning with ELOHIM.”

Enoch 49:1-4

For wisdom is poured out like water, and esteem failed not before Him for eternity. For He is mighty in all secrets of righteousness, and unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow, and have no continuance; because the ELECT ONE stands before YAHWEH of hosts, and His esteem is forever and ever, and His might unto all generations. And in Him dwells the spirit of wisdom, and the spirit which gives insight, and the spirit of understanding and of might, and the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness. And He shall judge the secret matters, and none shall be able to utter a lying word before Him; for He is the ELECT ONE before YAHWEH of hosts according to His good pleasure.”

Baruk (The scribe for Jeremiah)

Baruk 3:32-37

But He who knows all knows her, and has found her with His understanding; He who prepared the earth forever has filled it with four-footed beasts; He who sends forth light, and it goes, calls it again, and it obeys Him with reverence. The stars shone in their watches, and rejoiced; when He calls them, they say, “Here we are.” And so with gladness they showed light unto He who made them. This our ELOHIM, and there is no other be counted in comparison of Him! He has found all the way of knowledge, and has given it unto Jacob His servant, and to Yisra’el His beloved. Afterward HE SHOWED HIMSELF ON THE EARTH, AND CONVERSED WITH MEN.”

John 1:10-11

He was in the world, and the world came to be THROUGH HIM, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.”

YAHWEH and YESHUA are One! And we know that YESHUA is ELOHIM The Son who came in the flesh, pitched His tent, dwelt with us and conversed with men. Especially knowing that no one has ever seen the Father YAHWEH at any time.

2 Esdras (4TH Ezra)

2 Esdras 2:42-48

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

2 Esdras 5:4-6

But if the Most High grants you to live, you shall see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and a third of the moon in that day. And blood shall drip from wood, and the stone shall give its cry, and the people shall be troubled; and ONE shall rule, whom those who dwell the earth do not expect, and the birds shall take flight away together.”

This unbelieving world does not believe in YESHUA and He is the One who shall rule on earth for 1,000 years whom those on the earth do not expect. By that time it will already be too late.

2 Esdras 6:11-30

Then I answered and said, “O YAHWEH who reigns, if I have found favor in your sight, please show Your servant the end of your signs, of which You showed me in part the last night.” So He answered and said to me, “Stand up on your feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice. And there shall be a great shaking; but the place where you stand shall not be moved. And so, when it sounds do not be afraid; for the word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth understands. ‘And why? Because the sound of these trembles and is moved; for it knows that the end of these must be changed.” And it came to be, that when I heard it I stood up on my feet, and listened, and see, there was a voice that spoke, and the sound of it was like the SOUND OF MANY WATERS.”

Revelation 1:13-15

And in the midst of the seven lamp-stands One like the Son of Man, dressed in a robe down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. And His head and hair were white as white as wool, as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished brass, as if refined in a furnace, and HIS VOICE AS THE SOUND OF MANY WATERS.”

Verse 18 (2 Esdras continued) And it said, “See the days come, that I shall begin to draw near, and to visit those who dwell upon the earth, and shall begin to make inquiry of them, what harm they have done unrighteously with their wickedness, and when the affliction of Zion shall be complete; and when the world, that shall begin to vanish away, is finished, then I shall show these signs: The Books shall be opened before the expanse and they all shall see together. And children a year old shall speak with their voices, the women with child shall bring forth children prematurely of three or four months old, and they shall live, and be raised up. And suddenly the sown places shall appear unsown, the full storehouses shall suddenly be found empty; and the trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man hears, they shall be suddenly afraid. At that time friends shall fight against one another as enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those who dwell in it; the springs of the fountains shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not flow. Whoever remains from all these that I have told you shall escape, and see MY deliverance, and the end of your world. And those who are received shall see it, who have not tasted death from their birth; and the heart of inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another spirit. For evil shall be blotted out, and deception shall be quenched. As for belief, it shall flourish; corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which has been so long without fruit, shall be declared. And when He talked with me, see, I looked little by little upon Him before whom I stood. And these words He said to me, “I have come to show you the time of the night to come.”

2 Esdras 7:28-29

For My SON YESHUA shall be revealed with those who are with Him, and those who remain shall rejoice within four hundred years. After these years ha’Mashiach (Messiah) My Son shall die, and all men who have life.”

2 Esdras 12:31-34

And the LION (We know YESHUA is the Roaring Lion of Judah), whom you saw rising up out of the forest ROARING, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking it for its unrighteousness with all the words which you have heard; This is ha’Mashiach (Messiah), whom the Most High as kept for them and for their wickedness unto the end; He shall reprove them, and shall reproach them for their cruelty. For He shall stand them before Him alive in judgment, and shall rebuke them, and reprove them. For He shall deliver the rest of My people with kindness-those who have been scattered from My borders, and He shall make them joyful until the coming of the Day of Judgment, of which I have spoken to you from the beginning.”

Revelation 5:4-5

And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. And one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. See, the Lion of tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame to open the scroll and to loosen its seven seals.”

2 Esdras 13:25-38

This is the meaning of the vision: When you saw a Man coming up from the midst of the sea; He is the One whom ELOHIM the Most High has kept for a long time whom by Himself shall deliver His creation; and He shall lead those who are left behind. And when you saw, that a blast of wind and fire and storm came out of His mouth; and that He held neither sword, nor any weapon of battle, but that His rushing in destroyed the whole crowd that came to overcome Him; this is the interpretation: “See the days are coming, when the Most High shall begin to deliver those who are on the earth. And those who dwell on the earth shall be astonished at His coming. And one shall begin to fight against another, one city against another, one place against another, one people against another, and one reign against another. And the time shall be when these come to pass, and the signs take place which I showed you before, and then My SON shall be declared, whom you saw as a Man ascending. And when all the people hear His voice, every man in their own land shall leave the battle they have against one another, and an innumerable crowd shall gather together, as you saw them, coming with desire to overcome Him in battle. But He shall stand on the top of Mount Zion, and Zion shall come, and shall be shown to all men, being prepared and built, as you saw the mountain carved without hands. And He, My SON  shall rebuke the wicked deeds of those nations, who have fallen into the storm for their wicked life; and shall lay their evil thoughts before them, and the torture with which they shall begin to be tortured, which are like flames; and He shall destroy those without WORKS BY THE LAW which I comparable to Me.”

2 Esdras 13:51-52

Then I said, “O YAHWEH who reigns, show me this: Why have I seen the Man coming up from the midst of the sea? And He said to me, “As you could neither seek out nor know that which is in the depths of the sea; even so no man on earth shall see My SON, or those who are with him, but in His time of day.”

2 Esdras 14:6-9

These words you shall declare, and these you shall hide. And now I say to you: “Lay up on your heart the signs that I have shown, and the dreams that you have seen, and the interpretations which you have heard; for you shall be taken away from all and from now on you shall remain with my SON, and with those who are like you, until the times are ended.”

Sirach

Sirach 4:10

Be as a dad to the dad less, and like husband to their mother; so you shall be AS the SON of the Most High, and He shall love you more than your mother does.”

Testament of Levi

Testament of Levi 2:10-11

And when you have ascended there, you will stand near YAHWEH, and will be His minister. And you will declare His mysteries to men, and will proclaim CONCERNING HIM THAT WILL REDEEM YISRA’EL (YESHUA). And by you and Judah will YAHWEH appear among men, saving every race of men.”

Testament of Levi 8:11-14

And they said to me, “Levi, your seed will be divided into three branches, for a sign of the esteem of YAHWEH who is to come. And the first portion will be great; yes, none will be greater than it. The second will be in the priesthood. And the third will be called by a RENEWED name, because a King will arise in Yehudah (Judah), and will establish a NEW Priesthood, after the fashion of the nations to all the nations. And His presence is beloved, as a prophet (Deuteronomy 18:18) of the Most High, of the seed of Abraham our ancestor.”

This is another prophecy of YESHUA which ties to Hebrews 7 that YESHUA rose from the tribe of Judah, a tribe which Moses never spoke of concerning the altar to perform the slaughter offerings, burning incense all the other functions because this role was reserved for the Levites. Therefore, there had to be a change in the Priesthood (As Testament of Levi says a Renewed name and New Priesthood). So even The Testament of Levi confirms that YESHUA would be a King/Priest. The only other king/priest in scripture was Malkitsedeq the priest of The Most High and King of Salem, which is why YESHUA is Priest according to the order of Malkitsedeq.

Genesis 14:18

And Malkitsedeq king of Salem brought out bread and wine. Now he was the priest of the Most High EL.”

Zechariah 6:12-13

And shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus said YAHWEH of hosts, saying, “See, the Man whose name is the BRANCH! And from His place He shall BRANCH out, and He shall build the Temple of YAHWEH. It is He (YESHUA) who is going to build the Temple of YAHWEH. It is He who is going to bear the splendor. And He shall sit and rule of His throne (KING), and shall be a PRIEST on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between Them both.”

Testament of Judah

Testament of Judah 24:1-6

And after thee things will a STAR ARISE to you from Jacob in peace like the sun of righteousness, WALKING WITH THE SONS OF MEN IN HUMILITY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. And no SIN WILL BE FOUND IN HIM.”

I will list scriptures that correlate with what we read from Testament of Judah about the Star arising from Jacob, walking with the sons of men in humility and Him knowing no sin. This correlates with:

 Numbers 24:17 (Septuagint) which says

I will point to Him, but not now; I bless Him but He draws not near: A STAR SHALL RISE OUT OF JACOB, a Man shall spring out of Yisra’el….”

And the portion explaining that YESHUA would walk with the sons of men in humility is similar to Philippians 2:5-8 (The portion in parenthesis is my emphasis)

For, let this mind be in you which was also in Messiah YESHUA, who, being in the form of ELOHIM, did not regard equality with ELOHIM a matter to be grasped (humbled Himself knowing He was ELOHIM the Son to become a man a matter we can’t grasp), but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, and came to be in the likeness of men. And having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake.”

And the portion explaining that no sin would be found in Him:

Isaiah 53:5-9

But He was pierced for OUR transgressions, He was crushed for OUR wickedness’s. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. We all, like sheep, went astray, each one of us has turned to his own way. And YAHWEH has laid on Him the wickedness’s of us all. “Verse 9 “And He was appointed a grave with the wicked, and with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence, nor was deceit in His mouth.”

Romans 5:21

For He (YAHWEH) made Him (YESHUA) who KNEW NO SIN to be SIN FOR US, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of ELOHIM.”

Testament of Judah continued verses 2-6 “The heavens will be open to Him, to pour out the spirit, even the blessing of the Set-apart Father. And He will pour out the spirit of favor upon you. And you will be sons to Him in truth, and you will walk in His commands first and last. Then the scepter of my kingdom will shine forth; and from your root will arise a stem. And from it will grow a rod of righteousness to the nations to judge and to save all that call upon YAHWEH.”

Testament of Judah mentions walking in His commands which is found in:

John 15:10

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

Jubilees

Jubilees 16:26

And he blessed his Creator who had created him in his generation, for He had created him according to His good pleasure; for He knew and perceived that from him would arise the BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS for the everlasting generations, and from him HOLY SEED, so that it should become like HIM WHO MADE ALL MATTERS.”

The Branch of Righteousness and The Holy Seed is YESHUA who would become like Him who created all matters who is YAHWEH and we know that YAHWEH and YESHUA are One.

Jubilees 21:23-24

Turn away from all their deeds and all their uncleanness, and observe the Law of the Most High EL, and do His desire and be upright in all matters. And He shall bless you in all your deeds, and shall raise up from you the BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS through all the earth, throughout all generations of the earth, and my name (Abraham) and your name (Jacob) shall not be forgotten under the heavens forever.”

Jeremiah 33:14-16

See the days are coming,’ declares YAHWEH, ‘when I shall establish the good word which I have promised to the house of Yisra’el and to the house of Judah: ‘In those days and at that time I cause a BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to spring forth for David. And He shall do right-ruling and righteousness in the earth. ‘In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem dwell in safety. And this is that which shall be proclaimed to her: YAHWEH our Righteousness.’

Prayer of Azariah (Abednego)

Prayer of Azariah 1:26

But the Messenger of YAHWEH came down into the oven together with Azariah and his friends, and smote the flame of the fire out of the oven, and made the middle of the furnace as though it were a moist whistling wind, so that the fire did not touch them at all, neither harmed them or troubled them.”

Daniel 3:25

He answered and said, “Look! I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire. And they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of Elah.” And Elah is Arabic for ELOHIM. YESHUA was there in Daniel’s day protecting them from the fire of the furnace.

As we can see the evidence is overwhelming from more than one witness from these books that were removed that YAHWEH has a Son and His Name is YESHUA and He was here from the beginning. YESHUA is our Savior and no one is saved without Him. I pray this has opened your eyes to start reading the books that were removed from scripture to find out the things that have been hidden from you.

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

Salvation is NOT just for Black Hebrew Israelites!

Disclaimer: I realize that not all the sects of The Black Hebrew Israelite movement have the belief that all Caucasians are the devil and that they don’t have a chance at salvation, so this doesn’t apply to you. This message is for those who believe that salvation is only limited to them. So we will be addressing if Scripture supports this belief that Caucasians and many are races don’t have a chance to make it into the kingdom and also defining who an Edomite really is. I pray you watch or this this in its entirety before coming based off the title alone, because this is a serious issue.

 I have seen many within this racist movement discourage other believers and make them feel like they aren’t worthy and that they have no hope in our wonderful Messiah YESHUA, and I this is a dangerous thing to do. It saw a very disturbing to video of this movement condemning white people and Ethiopians who were preaching the gospel and running them off of the corner. What if this kind of behavior discourages them from every preaching the gospel again?

Titus 3:9

But keep away from foolish questions, and GENEOALGIES, and strife and quarrels about the Torah, for they are unprofitable and useless.”

Yet, many of them will ask people what tribe of you from? And if they aren’t black they will say “You aren’t Yisra’el and have no chance to make it into the Kingdom”. This is why Paul wrote this because he understood that your bloodline will not save you. Due to Yisra’els disobedience to His Commands He brought salvation to the gentiles as well.

Deuteronomy 32:21

They have provoked Me to jealousy with that which is not ELOHIM, they have exasperated Me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding (gentiles).”

Salvation is for anyone who keeps the commands of YAHWEH and believes in His Son YESHUA as we see the criteria written in Revelation 14:12:

Revelation 14:12

Here is the endurance of the saints, here are THOSE (anyone) guarding the Commands of YAHWEH and belief of YESHUA.”

And John the Baptist understood this as well:

Mathew 3:7-10

And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, “Brood of adders! Who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Bear, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that ELOHIM is able to raise up children of Abraham from these stones.”

John the Baptist told the Pharisees that it did not matter that they were the children of Abraham by blood if they did not bear fruits worthy of repentance, because ELOHIM could raise up the seed of Abraham from stones, and He did by allowing the gentiles to be grafted into the nation of Yisra’el.

Acts 10:9-15

And on the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour. And he became hungry and wanted to eat. But while they were preparing, he fell into a trance and he saw the heavens opened and a certain vessel like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth, in which were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping creatures, and the birds of the heavens. And a voice came to him, “Rise up Peter, slay and eat.” But Peter said, “Not at all, My Master! Because I have never eaten whatever is common or unclean.” And a voice came to him again the second time, “What ELOHIM has cleansed you do not consider common.” Verse 28 And he said to them, “You know that a Jew is not allowed to associate with, or go to one of another race. But ELOHIM has shown me that I should not call any man COMMON OR UNCLEAN.”

So here is a clear picture of a vision that YESHUA gave to Peter that the gentiles are to receive salvation along with the Jews and to not call a man that He has created common or unclean. So the question is, why is this Hebrew movement calling others common or unclean, which YESHUA clearly said NOT to do?

Salvation for ALL

Testament of Levi 2:9-12 (12 Patriarchs)

And I said to the messenger, ‘Why is it like this? And the messenger said to me, ‘Do not marvel at this, for you will see another heaven more brilliant and incomparable. And when you have ascended there, you will stand near YAHWEH, and will be His minister. And you will declare His mysteries to men, and will proclaim concerning Him that will redeem Yisra’el. And by you and Judah will YAHWEH appear among men, SAVING EVERY RACE OF MEN.”

This is a clear prophecy that YESHUA would come to die and bring salvation for every race of men, not just the black race. But that’s not all there is plenty of evidence to support this.

Acts 10:34-35

And opening his mouth, Peter said, “Truly I see that ELOHIM shows NO PARTIALITY, but in EVERY NATION, he who reverse Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.”

Peter says ELOHIM does not show favoritism towards the native-born, but in ANY NATION, as long as you fear YAHWEH and keep His commandments then you are accepted by Him.

Revelation 7:9-10

After this I looked and saw a great crowd which no one was able to count, out of ALL NATIONS AND TRIBES AND PEOPLES AND TONGUES, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Deliverance belongs to our ELOHIM who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Again, we see a clear picture of ALL nations, tribes, and languages that have overcome the tribulation standing before YAHWEH and YESHUA, which agrees with The Testament of Levi and Peter. This scripture doesn’t say the Caucasian is excluded from this at all, and it doesn’t say that only black people are in the presence of our ELOHIM! We clearly see EVERY NATION!

2 Esdras 2:34-35

And therefore I say unto you, “O you GENTILES that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd (YESHUA), He shall give you everlasting rest, for He is near at hand, who shall come at the end of the world. Be ready for the reward of the reign, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you forever.”

We see this scripture plainly says the gentiles who are grafted in need to look for The Shepherd and that He would give them rest and be ready for the reward of the reign which is everlasting life. This scripture ties in with what YESHUA said in John:

John 10:16

And other sheep I have which are not of this fold (gentiles)-I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock and one Shepherd.”

Exodus 12:37

And the children of Yisra’el departed from Ramses to Sukkot about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides the little ones. And a MIXED MULTITUDE WENT WITH THEM TOO, also flocks and herds, very much livestock.”

We see that when Yisra’el left Egypt that a mixed multitude of gentiles went with them, which would mean that when the 10 commandments were given at Mount Sinai that the native-born Yisra’elites and the gentiles were standing together to hear the words. Yes, they have been grafted in since the beginning.

Romans 11:24

For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more shall these who are the natural, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I do not want you to be ignorant of this secret, brothers, lest you should be wise in your own estimation, that hardening in part has come over Yisra’el, until the completeness of the gentiles has come in. Verse 32 For ELOHIM has shut them all up in disobedience in order to have compassion on ALL.”

Ephesians 2:17-20

And having come, He brought as Good News peace to you who were far off (gentiles), and peace to those near. Because through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. So then you are NO LONGER STRANGERS AND FOREIGNERS, but FELLOW CITIZENS with the saints and MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOHLD OF ELOHIM, having been built upon the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, YESHUA ha’Mashiach Himself being chief cornerstone…”

Do you see the correlation? In both scriptures YESHUA is referred to as a Shepherd that will lead the gentiles; and YESHUA tells us that there will be one flock (one faith) and one Shepherd (which is YESHUA leading and guiding the flock of native-born and gentiles grafted in as one.)

Exodus 12:48 (Septuagint)

And if any proselyte (a person who has converted from one religion to another) comes to you to keep the Passover to YAHWEH, you shall circumcise every male of his and then he shall approach to sacrifice it and he shall BE EVEN AS THE ORIGINAL INHABITANT OF THE LAND (native-born); no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.”

Deuteronomy 29:10-15

All of you are standing today before YAHWEH your ELOHIM: your leaders, your tribes, your elders and your officers, all the men of Yisra’el, your little ones, your wives, and your SOJOURNER who is in the midst of your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water, so that you should enter into Covenant with YAHWEH your ELOHIM makes with you today, in order to establish you today as a people for Himself, and He Himself be your ELOHIM, as He has spoken to you, as He has sworn to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

As we see Moses was talking to the native-born and sojourning gentiles who were in the midst of the camp when YAHWEH made a Covenant with them all. The first thing Moses said is “All of you are standing before YAHWEH”

Ezekiel 47:22

And it shall be that you divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the STRANGERS WHO SOJOURN in your midst and who bear children among you. And they shall be to you as NATIVE-BORN among the children of Yisra’el-with you they have an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Yisra’el.”

All Caucasians going to hell?

So firstly, let us address the fact that they claim that all Caucasians are going to hell. The main crutch of their belief is that they call Caucasians “Edomites” saying that they are descendants of Esaw and they will quote the following scripture:

Genesis 25:25

And the first came out reddish all over, like a hairy garment, so they called his name Esaw.”

So we Esaw was red and hairy which is how he received his name and there is no mention of the word Edomite until we go down to verse 30 of the same chapter which says:

Genesis 25:29-30

And Jacob cooked a stew, and Esaw came in from the field, and he was weary. And Esaw said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” THAT IS WHY HIS NAME WAS CALLED EDOM.”

Esaw was called Edom due to the red stew that he ate and despised his birthright AND NOT because of the color of his skin and the Book of Jubilees confirms this:

Jubilees 24:5-6

And Jacob said, “Swear to me today,” and he swore to him. And Jacob gave his brother Esaw bread and soup, and he ate until he was satisfied, and Esaw despised his birthright; FOR THIS REASON ESAW’S NAME WAS CALLED EDOM, ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE RED SOUP WHICH JACOB GAVE HIM FOR HIS BIRTHRIGHT.”

So after reading the scripture in context the whole doctrine of a white man being Edom based off the color of his skin is false. We can see this scripture had nothing to do with race but food; and that Esaw despised his birthright that is why he was called an Edomite.

Deuteronomy 23:7

Do not LOATHE AN EDOMITE, for HE IS YOUR BROTHER. Do not loathe an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.”

That means they are doing the opposite of what YAHWEH told them to do by loathing their brother. Furthermore, how did YESHUA define a brother or sister?

Mathew 12:50

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

So how can any racist Hebrew Israelite disqualify a Caucasian man or woman who is doing the will of YAHWEH who is considered a brother or sister?

 And since they say the Edomites are white and cursed, then why does YAHWEH call the Edomites their brother? So even if the Hebrews are black, then that means Esaw is a different shade of black like being light skinned for example, because Jacob and Esaw are blood brothers, so it doesn’t make sense that one brother would be born white and the other clinging to his heal would be black. The Black race has many shades of black one can be light skinned and the other can be a darker brown within the same family. Furthermore, how does YESHUA define a brother?

Can you be racist and enter into the Kingdom?

In scripture racism did not exist, man created it. People in scripture were known by their tribes or nation and not the color of their skin. They were called Yisra’elites, Ammonites, Moabites, Philistines or that is “David son of Jessie etc.” Our Father YAHWEH and His Son are not racist; therefore, no man on this earth should be.

The Oxford English Dictionary (2nd edition, 1989) defines racism as “belief in the superiority of a particular race.” And we know that those that are racist have a hate and disgust for the race they are directing it towards because they feel like they are better than the other. Look no further than the KKK as a clear example for this. Racism is hatred, and hatred is an act of the flesh, and the flesh will not inherit the reign of ELOHIM as Paul quotes:

Galatians 5:19-21

And the works of the FLESH are well-known, which are: adultery, whoring, uncleanness, indecency, idolatry, drug sorcery, HATRED, QUARRELS, jealousies, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, murders, drunkenness, wild parties, and the like- of which I forewarn you, even as I also said before, that those who practice such as these SHALL NOT INHERIT THE REIGN OF ELOHIM.”

We see Paul lists hatred as an act of the flesh which racism qualifies as; and further he says “quarrels” which is a heated argument or debate as well. You can pull up videos and see them quarreling with others and provoking others that are not of their race telling them they are going to hell. Neither one of these actions they are doing are considered righteous.

Romans 5:18-19

So then, as through one trespass there resulted condemnation to ALL MEN, so also through one righteous act there resulted righteous declaring of life to all men. For as through the disobedience of one many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One many shall be made righteous.”

Paul says that the trespass of Adam brought condemnation to ALL MEN not some men, meaning that other nations of people had to be included into this group. Paul does not say that Adam’s transgression brought condemnation to “all black men”. The entire human race was made sinners but through the blood of YESHUA we all were redeemed.

Acts 17:26

And He had made from ONE blood EVERY NATION of MEN to dwell on all the face of the earth, having ordained beforehand the times and boundaries of their dwelling…”

We are all descendants of Adam as YAHWEH has man all men from one blood, therefore there is no race but the HUMAN RACE. Repent and let the truth of the scriptures speak and realize that YAHWEH shows no partiality! Any nation, tribe, or language of people including Caucasians can be saved as long as they keep the commandments of YAHWEH and believe in His Son YESHUA!

Revelation 14:12

Here is the endurance of the saints, here are those guarding the Commands of YAHWEH and belief of YESHUA.”

I plead with anyone who is involved with this movement to think about the soul that was lost by condemning them; when we are called to help win souls by bringing to them into the knowledge of the truth of our Savior YESHUA. If that person goes home and gets discouraged over thinking they have no hope at eternal life and they commit suicide, then that is a life that you will be held accountable for. Let the love of YESHUA speak and let the racism go and love your neighbor as yourself.

May our Father YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!

GET OUT OF THE WORLD!

My fellow brothers and sisters we do not belong to this world because YESHUA has called us out to be separate from the world. We live in the world but we are not supposed to be a part of the world. It’s time for followers of YESHUA to realize that we are sojourners which means a temporary stay, pilgrims, strangers, and aliens in this present life and will not be accepted by those who are of the world. Don’t seek acceptance from men but seek acceptance from our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA!

Life on this earth is temporary and the sooner you recognize that this world is not our permanent home the better off you will be. Embrace and accept the fact that you will be rejected friends, coworkers even by family members who think that following our Father YAHWEH’s commands is bondage, legalistic, or even a cult. Those who speak such words are spiritually blinded and do not truly know our ELOHIM, but He is merciful, so continue to pray for them because on He can change their hearts. But to those who feel alone and feel like you are doing this in vain, keep going, remove yourself completely from the world and its ways and seek the citizenship of heaven and not the citizenship of the earth. The reward in the end is something the human mind cannot even fathom nor put into words.

Titus 2:11-13

For the saving Gift of YAHWEH has appeared to all men, instructing us to RENOUNCE WICKEDNESS AND WORLDLY LUSTS, and live sensibly, righteously, and reverently in the present age, LOOKING for the blessed EXPECTATION and esteemed appearance of the great ELOHIM and our Savior YESHUA ha’Mashiach…”

James 4:4

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

1 John 2:15-17

Do not LOVE THE WORLD nor that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Because all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is NOT OF the Father BUT IS OF THE WORLD. And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the desire of ELOHIM remains forever.”

Romans 12:1-3

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. And do not be conformed to THIS WORLD, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of ELOHIM.”

Enoch 108:6-15

And he said to me, “This place which you see: here are cast the spirits of sinners and blasphemers, and of those who work wickedness, and those who pervert everything that the Adon (Master) has spoken through the mouth of the prophets-even the things that shall be. For some of them are written and inscribed above in the heaven, in order that the messengers may read them and know what will happen to the sinners, and the spirits of the humble, and of those who have afflicted their bodies, and been repaid by ELOHIM; and of those who have been put to shame by wicked men, who LOVE ELOHIM AND DID NOT LOVE GOLD NOR SILVER NOR ANY OF THE GOOD THINGS WHICH ARE IN THE WORLD, but gave over their bodies to torture. Who, since they came into being, DID NOT Long AFTER EARTHY FOOD BUT REGARDED EVERYTHING AS A PASSING BREATH, AND LIVED ACCORDINDLY, and the Master tried them much, and their spirits were found pure so that they should bless His Name. And all the blessings destined for them I have recounted in the books. And he has assigned them their repayment, because they have been found to be such as LOVED HEAVEN MORE THAN THEIR LIFE IN THE WORLD, and though they were trodden under foot of wicked men, and experienced abuse and reviling from them and were put to shame, yet they blessed Me. And now I will summon the spirits of the good who belong to the generation of light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness, who in the flesh were not repaid with such honor as their faith deserved. And I will bring forth in shining light those who have loved My Holy Name, and I will seat each on the throne of his honor. And they shall be magnificent for times without number; for righteousness is the judgment of ELOHIM.  For He will give faith to the faithful in the habitation of upright paths. And they shall see those who were born in darkness led into darkness, while the righteous shall be magnificent. And the sinners shall cry aloud and see them magnificent, and they indeed will go where days and seasons are prescribed for them.”

2 Timothy 4:10

For Demas, having LOVED THIS PRESENT WORLD, has deserted me and went to Thessalonica, Kreskes to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.”

Don’t be like Demas who loved this world as many people do. There are many snares that believers get trapped in whether its sports, secular music, drunkedness, porn, cursing, horror movies, cars, clothes, money, fornication, partying, celebrating pagan holidays, dress half naked, cell phones, gluttony and all kinds of modern day idols. Keep your eyes toward those blessings and rewards that are laid up for those who forsake this world to receive better things in the next world! Let this be a reminder to seek the citizenship of heaven and not the citizenship being friends of the world.

Philippians 3:14-20

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of ELOHIM in Messiah YESHUA. Verse 14-20 “For many-of whom I have often told you, and now say to you even weeping-walk as enemies of the stake of Messiah. Their end is destruction, their mighty one is their stomach, and their esteem is in their shame-they MIND THE EARTHLY. For OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN THE HEAVENS, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Adon YESHUA ha’Mashiach.”

2 Esdras 8:38-39

For indeed I shall not think upon the works of those who have sinned before death, before judgment, before destruction; but I shall rejoice over the works of the righteous, and I shall also remember their SOJOURNINGS, and the deliverance, and the reward, that they shall have.”

Hebrews 11:9-16 the parenthesis are my commentary notes

By belief, he (Abraham) SOJOURNED in the land of promise as a STRANGER, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise, for he was looking for the city having foundations (just as we await the New Jerusalem), whose Builder and Maker is ELOHIM. Verse 13-16 In belief all these died, not having received the promises, but seeing from a distance, welcomed and embraced them, and confessed that they were ALIENS AND STRANGERS ON THE EARTH. For those who speak this way make it clear that they seek a home country (just as we are in the New Jerusalem). And yet, if they had indeed kept remembering that from which they had come out, they would have had the chance to return (not looking back after you have gotten out of the world). But now they long for a better, that is, of the HEAVENS. Therefore, YAHWEH is not ashamed to be called their ELOHIM, for He has prepared a city forth them (The same way He has prepared a city for us to dwell for those who overcome, we all seek the same promise.)

Psalms 39:12

Hear my prayer, O YAHWEH, and give ear to my cry; do not be silent at my tears; for I am a STRANGER with You, A SOJOURNER, as ALL MY ANCESTORS WERE.”

If we are citizens of Yisra’el and the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise, then that means we should be embracing that fact that ALL of our ancestors were strangers and sojourners on this earth. They all recognized that this is not their permanent home for they all sought the promise of what is to come. Keep your minds focused on that.

Psalms 119:19

I am a SOJOURNER in the earth; do not hide Your Commands from me.”

1 Chronicles 29:15

For we are SOJOURNERS and PILGRIMS before You, as were ALL of ancestors; our days on earth are as a shadow, and without permanence.”

Colossians 3:1-2

If, then, you were raised with Messiah, seek those which are above, where Messiah is, seated at the right hand of YAHWEH. Mind those ABOVE, NOT THOSE ON THE EARTH.”

2 Corinthians 4:7-18

And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power might be of ELOHIM, and not of us-being hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; being perplexed, but not in despair; being persecuted, but not forsaken; being thrown down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Master YESHUA, that the life of YESHUA might also be manifested in our body. Verse 16-17 “Therefore we do not lose heart, but even if our outward man is perishing, yet that within is being renewed day by day. For this SLIGHT MOMENTARY PRESSURE, is working for us a far more exceeding and EVERLASTING WEIGHT OF ESTEEM. WE ARE NOT LOOKING ON WHAT IS SEEN, BUT ON WHAT IS NOT SEEN. For what is seen passes away, but what is not seen is EVERLASTING.”

2 Corinthians 5:1-7

For we know that if the tent of our earthy house, is destroyed, we have a building from ELOHIM, a house not made with hands, everlasting in the heavens. For indeed in this we groan, longing to put on our dwelling which is from heaven, so that, having put it on, we shall not be found naked. For indeed, we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to put it off, but to put on, so that what is to die might swallowed up by life. Now He who has prepared us for this same purpose is ELOHIM, who has given us the Spirit as a pledge of WHAT IS TO COME. Therefore being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Master-for we walk by belief, not by sight…”

2 Esdras 7:1-16

And when I had finished speaking these words, the messenger who had been sent to me the nights before was sent to me. And he said to me, “Rise, Ezra, and hear the words that I have come to tell you.” And I said, “Speak on, my master.” Then he said to me, “The Sea is put in a wide place, that it might be deep and great. But if it were that the entrance were narrow, and like a river; who then could go into the sea to look upon it, and to navigate it? If he did no go through the narrow, how could he come to the wide? There is also another example: a city is built, and put on a broad field, and is filled with all good. Its entrance is narrow, and is put in a dangerous place to fall, so there is a fire on the right hand, and a deep moat on the left, and only one path between them both, even between the fire and the water, so narrow that only one man could go through at once. If this city now were given to a man as an inheritance, if he should never pass the danger placed before it, how shall he receive his inheritance? And I said, “It is so, master. “Then he said to me, “So also is Yisra’els portion. Because for their sakes I made the world; and when Adam transgressed My Laws, then what is now done was established. Then the entrances of this world were made narrow, full of sorrow and hardship. They are but few and evil, full of dangers and very laborsome. For the entrances of the greater world were wide and sure, and brought for incorruptible fruit. If then those who live do not strive to go through these distresses and futilities, they shall NEVER RECEIVE THAT WHICH IS LAID UP FOR THEM. Now therefore why do you worry yourself, seeing you are but a corruptible man? And why are you disturbed, for you are only mortal? Why have you not considered in your heart THAT WHICH IS TO COME, rather than that which is present?”

How can you receive your inheritance of eternal life, if you don’t go through the hardships in this life by entering the narrow gate that YESHUA spoke of in Mathew 7:13? Having one foot in the world and one foot serving YAHWEH is luke warmness and there is nothing distressing about that. Endure the hardships and reject the things of the world because there is treasure laid up for you. Due to Adams sin we became strangers in this life and we have to overcome through YESHUA and be led by the RUACH ha’Kodesh.

This will cost everything!

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.”

By no longer living for yourself, but rather living for YESHUA who died and rose again, means you have died to your fleshly desires and refrain from the thought of living your best life now because you have become a new creature.. No one who is a new creature and transformed by the blood of YESHUA continues to live in the world as the unbelievers do. Rather, they reject the things of this world to be filled with the guidelines and instructions that please our Father YAHWEH!

We choose to die to self in this life to gain the better reward in the next life, so choose the heavenly food!  Even if you have to separate yourself from family and friends because they think you are crazy; or they believe that you are in a cult simply for being obedient to our ELOHIM. When you remove yourself from this world and its evil holidays and the lusts of this world, you can expect to be rejected and possibly be alone. This walk isn’t easy and you will never be alone because YESHUA is with you every step of the way. YESHUA words should pierce the hearts of many who are still holding on to this world or the people in it more than Him:

Luke 14:26-33

If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his dad and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and his own life too, he is unable to be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his stake and come after Me is unable to be My disciple. Verse 33 “So, then, every one of you who does not give up all that he has is unable to be My disciple.”

You have to make this decision to get out of the world and stick with it for life. Most of your family and friends won’t understand why you have chosen this hard pressed path that leads to life because most people mainly Christians can’t fathom giving up everything in this life and completely dying to their own desires to completely live for YESHUA! How can this be?

1 John 3:1-2

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of ELOHIM! For this reason the world does not know us because it did not know Him. Beloved ones, now we are children of ELOHIM. And it has not yet been revealed what we should be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone having this expectation in Him cleanses himself, as He is clean.”

John 15:18-19

If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, yet I chose you out of the world, for that reason the world hates you.”

John 17:13-14

And now I come to You. And I speak these in the world, so that they have My joy completed in them. I have given them Your Word, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.”

In conclusion, expect to be hated in this world, expect to give up everything in this world, and expect to be a stranger and sojourner because we are not of this world. But know that citizenship in the next world will be no comparison to those who hold onto to the present world.

2 Esdras 4:24-27

“And we pass away out of the world as grasshoppers, and our life is astonishment and fear, and we are not worthy to obtain kindness. What shall He then do for His Name by which we are called? Of these matters I have asked.” Then he answered me, and said, “The more you search, the more you shall marvel; for the world hastens to pass away, and cannot understand that which is promised to the righteous in time to come; for this world is full of unrighteousness and sickness.”

May our Father YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

How many times have you sworn to YAHWEH?

How many times in your life have you said “YAHWEH if you get me out of this situation that I will live for you? Or I’ll pray more? Or I’ll read the Bible more? If you give me a better job, or if you heal me or my family of this disease; Or you will stop doing a sin that you know is wrong?” And then as soon as YAHWEH delivers you from the situation that you begged Him to get you out of, you quickly forget; and then go right back to sinning or don’t fulfill the vow that you promised? Is this a sin? Does YAHWEH expect you to fulfill your end of the bargain with the words that proceeded from your lips?

Ecclesiastes 5:4-6

When you make a VOW to ELOHIM, do not delay to pay it, for He takes no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you have VOWED. It is better not to vow than to vow and not pay. Do not all your mouth to cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of ELOHIM that it was a mistake. Why should ELOHIM be wroth at your voice and destroy the work of your hands?

Mathew 5:33-35

Again, you heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to YAHWEH.’ But I say to you, do not swear falsely at all, neither by the heavens, because it is ELOHIM’s throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; not by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King; nor swear by your head, because you are not able to make on hair white or black. But let your word ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and Your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ and what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.”

If you are going to do something then simply do it. If you say “yes” then do not make excuses or justify and try to back out of it; and if you say “no” then let it be “no”, because YESHUA says anything else is from Satan. So do not even swear or make a vow at all because if you do then you are expected to perform it, which is why YESHUA says do not even swear falsely at all, especially if you never really intended on keeping it.

Deuteronomy 23:21-23

When you make a vow to YAHWEH your ELOHIM, do not delay to pay it, for YAHWEH your ELOHIM is certainly requiring it of you, and it shall be sin in you. BUT WHEN YOU ABSTAIN FROM VOWING, IT IS NOT SIN IN YOU (As YESHUA said don’t swear falsely at all) That which has gone from your lips you shall guard and do, for you VOLUNTARILY vowed to YAHWEH your ELOHIM what you have promised with your mouth.”

A good example of this is found in Judges with a man named Yiphtah, who made a vow. Some people read this and thing YAHWEH is unjust without understanding the two scriptures that we just read above.

Judges 11:30-36

And Yiphtah MADE A VOW to YAHWEH, and said, “if you give the children of Ammon into my hands, then it shall be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall belong to YAHEWH, and I shall offer it up as a burnt offering.” Yiphtah then passed on toward the children of Ammon to fight against them, and YAHEWH gave them into his hands. And he smote them from Aro’er as for as minnith, twenty cities, and Abel Keramim, with a very great smiting. Thus the children of Ammon were humbled before the children of Yisra’el. And Yiphtah came to his house at Mitspah, and saw his daughter coming out to meet him with timbrels and dancing. Now except for her he had neither son nor daughter. And it came to be, when he saw her, that he tore his garments, and said, “Oh my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you are among those who trouble me! And I, I have given my word to YAHWEH, and I am unable to turn back. And she said to him, “My dad, if you have given your word to YAHWEH, do to me according what has gone out of your mouth, because YAHWEH has taken vengeance for you upon your enemies, the children of Ammon.”

As we see Yiphtah voluntarily offered from his own mouth this vow, YAHWEH did not command him to do it and even though his daughter walked out of the house, his only daughter he had to offer her up. Many believers today would look for an excuse to get out of the situation and act like they never made the vow.  Yiphtah and his daughter knew that he had to perform what he spoke.

Genesis 28:20-23

And Jacob made a VOW, saying, “Seeing ELOHIM is with me, and has kept me in this way that I am going, and has given me bread to eat and a garment to put on-when I have returned to my dad’s house in peace, and YAHWEH shall be my ELOHIM, then this stone which I have placed as a standing column shall be ELOHIM’s house, and of all that You give me, I shall certainly give a tenth to You.”

Jubilees 31:26-29

And in the morning Jacob told his dad Isaac the VOW which he had vowed to YAHWEH, and the vision which he had seen, and that he had built an altar, and that everything was ready for the slaughtering to be made before YAHWEH as he had vowed, and that he had come to set him on a donkey.” And Isaac said to Jacob his son, “I am not able to go with you for I am old and not able to bear the way. Go in peace, my son. For I am one hundred and sixty-five years this day. I am no longer able to journey; set your mother on a donkey and let her go with you. And I k now, my son, that you have come because of me, and may this day be blessed on which you have seen me alive, and I also have seen you, my son. May you prosper and FULFIL the VOW which you vowed; AND DO NOT PUT OFF YOUR VOW; for you will be called in account for the vow. Now therefore hurry to perform it, and may He be pleased who has made all things, to whom you vowed the vow.”

Zechariah 5:3

And he said to me, “This is the curse that goes forth over the face of all the earth: ‘everyone who is stealing shall be cut off,’ on the one side, according to it and, ‘everyone who has SWORN FALSELY shall be cut off,’ on the other side, according to it.”

Psalms 66:13-14

I enter Your house with burnt offerings; I COMPLETE MY VOWS TO YOU, THAT WHICH MY LIPS HAVE UTTERED AND MY MOUTH SPOKE IN DISTRESS.”

As we see from scripture that making a vow to YAHWEH is a serious issue and as Isaac told his son Jacob hurry and do the vow because you will be called in account for the vow. You can’t just hide or think that YAHWEH will forget what you have spoken. If you have promised to give your life to YAHWEH or any vow that you have vowed to Him and have not done it, repent and cry out to Him for forgiveness, and make sure from then on that you do as YESHUA says and do not swear falsely at all.

May YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name

Who is The Holy Spirit?

There are many who do not recognize who the RUACH ha’Kodesh (The Holy Spirit) truly is; and there is another movement circulating saying that He is just some force and not a third Person of the ELOHIM head. So we will examine the scriptures as always to see if this is true. Many will say “well we don’t pray to The Holy Spirit” and that is true and no one has made that claim, because we know that The RUACH ha’Kodesh is living inside of us helping us to pray as Paul says in Romans 8:26; however, it does not negate the fact that He is still ELOHIM!

Also, throughout this article I will be calling The Holy Spirit by what He is called in Hebrew and that is The RUACH ha’Kodesh: pronounced (Roo-ach, ha-ko-desh).

Mathew 12:31-32

Because of this I say to you, all sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the RUACH shall not be forgiven men. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the RUACH ha’Kodesh, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or the age to come.”

Mark 3:29

But he who blasphemes against the RUACH ha’Kodesh has not forgiveness forever, but is subject to everlasting judgment,” because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

So this applies for those who say that believers are casting out demons by a demon and in doing so they are saying that the RUACH ha’Kodesh in an unclean spirit. But it also goes deeper because YESHUA used the word blasphemy while referring to The RUACH ha’Kodesh and it is an unforgivable act because the RUACH ha’Kodesh is living inside of you. What is the definition of blasphemy?

What know that one definition is claiming to be ELOHIM! John 10:33 records “The Jews answered Him, saying, “We do not stone You for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself ELOHIM.”

And Merriam-Webster defines blasphemy as- refers to a great disrespect to ELOHIM or to something holy, or to something said or done that shows this kind of disrespect. And Wikipedia agrees saying- the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity.

Firstly, we see that YESHUA was accused of blasphemy because the Jews because they thought He was a man claiming to be ELOHIM, so we can see that blasphemy is an attack on something divine! And YESHUA says you cannot blaspheme The RUACH ha’Kodesh, so based off that definition of scripture that would make RUACH ha’Kodesh ELOHIM as well; because He has the same nature as The Father and The Son. And based off the other definitions is what many are doing today by showing a great deal of disrespect towards the RUACH ha’Kodesh by treating Him as an object, saying He is an “It” a “force” or a “thing” which is denying His Holy nature of ELOHIM! The RUACH ha’Kodesh has been forgotten and He is instrumental in our walk with YESHUA otherwise YESHUA would have made the promise to send Him to us after He ascended into heaven.

Just as we discussed last week about the word Echad in Hebrew, it’s important that we do a refresher for us to understand who the RUACH ha’Kodesh is:

Genesis 2:22-23

And the rib which YAHWEH ELOHIM had taken from the man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And the man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one is called ‘woman’, because she was taken out of man.” For this cause a man shall leave his dad and mother, and join unto his wife, and they shall become ONE (ECHAD) flesh.”

Most people read this scripture with a Western mindset and automatically assume this a singular form of “one” however, The Holy Scriptures have an “Eastern” mindset that must be applied when reading it. Echad in Hebrew is a “Unity Oneness” or a “Compound Unity”. Compound is defined as a thing that is composed of two or MORE SEPARATE elements”!

We know that Adam and Eve did not literally morph into one body and become one person! They were still two separate beings but one flesh through the marriage! Therefore, the same thing applies with our ELOHIM of Yisra’el. There is YAHWEH the Father, YESHUA the Son, and The RUACH ha’Kodesh. They are three separate Persons yet ONE (ECHAD) ELOHIM!

John 14:16-17

And I shall ask The Father, and He shall give you ANOTHER (ALLOS) Helper, to stay with you forever- the RUACH of Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be in you.”

The word that YESHUA used for “Another” is the Greek word Allos. Allos in Greek #243 means other, another (OF MORE THAN TWO) different. So the Greek translation of the word that YESHUA used was Allos that agrees with the Hebrew word “Echad” a compound unity of two or more! Allos clearly says “OF MORE THAN TWO” So more than two would be three (YAHWEH The Father, YESHUA The Son, and RUACH ha’Kodesh.)

The Otiot which is the original pictograph language/sacred signs of our Father YAHWEH!  Has 22 characters, that represent the name of the character, what the character means, the function of the character, and also represents a number. Which gives us further details below:

Aleph is a picture of an Ox head that represents YAHWEH, power and strength and is also the Number “1”.

Beyt is the picture of a house or tent that represents YESHUA and is also the Number “2”

So Aleph (1) + (2) Beyt=3 and what does the number 3 represent?

Gimel is a picture of a man’s foot and represents the RUACH ha’Kodesh, it has to do with your walk towards ELOHIM or away from ELOHIM, and the number 3. The Otiot agrees that the RUACH ha’Kodesh proceeds from both The Father and The Son!

Furthermore the word ELOHIM in Hebrew means MIGHTY ONE’S (plural) and the ELOHIM spelled using the same Otiot is spelled “Mem, Yod, Hey, Lamed, Aleph” and in Hebrew we read from right to left. And right in the middle of the word ELOHIM is “Hey” which is a Spiritual man with his arms raised, which means “Look! Behold! 5th dimensions of Spirit (The Father is Spirit and seeks those who worship Him in spirit.) Therefore, built right into the middle of the word ELOHIM is “Behold! Look at what YAHWEH does and makes through His RUACH.” Just as we see the RUACH ha’Kodesh was there during creation and was Co-Creator with The Father and YESHUA as we already know YESHUA was there because all things were created through Him (John 1 and Colossians 1).

Genesis 1:2

And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the RUACH of ELOHIM was moving on the face of the waters.”

Right here in the beginning of creation we already see the RUACH ha’Kodesh is operating separately from the Father, but still of the Father as He called the Spirit of ELOHIM. All proof of the Father, Son and RUACH ha’Kodesh being three separate Persons yet One (Echad) ELOHIM!

 Other examples:

Isaiah 48:16

Draw near to Me, and hear these words; I have not spoken in secret from the BEGINNING: when it took place, there was I, and now Adonai, even YAHWEH, and His RUACH, has sent Me.”

Firstly we see that this is YESHUA speaking and He says that He has not spoken in secret from the beginning, which is true because we discussed last week that nobody has seen the Father at any time, so they saw YESHUA; and secondly, YESHUA clearly identifies YAHWEH The Father and The RUACH ha’Kodesh that sent Him, and since He is speaking then that makes 3 separate Persons!

Mathew 3:16-17

And having been immersed, YESHUA went up immediately from the water, and see, the heavens were opened, and He saw the RUACH of YAHWEH descending like a dove and coming upon Him, and see, a voice out of the heavens, saying “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight.”

We see that the dove that descended from the heavens was the RUACH ha’Kodesh coming upon YESHUA and then we hear the voice of YAHWEH saying “This is My Son”.  So therefore we see ELOHIM, The Father, The Son, and The RUACH ha’Kodesh at ONE time yet separate from each other.

John 14:26

But the Helper, the RUACH ha’Kodesh, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you.”

We see a clear picture of YAHWEH the Father, sending the RUACH ha’Kodesh in YESHUA’s Name and we can again see three separate Persons!

Mathew 28:19

Therefore, go and instruct all the nations, immersing (baptizing) them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the RUACH ha’Kodesh.”

Looking further into the translations

Exploringthetruth.org says:

There is a role that the Holy Spirit plays which is deserving of special attention, that of Allos Parakletos (Another Helper). Allos is a Greek work which means “another” and parakletos means helper. There is another Greek word that can also be translated “another.” That word is heteros. It is telling that YESHUA chose allos instead of heteros in describing the Holy Spirit as a comforter.

Heteros means “another of a different kind” while allos means “another of the same kind” By calling the Holy Spirit allos YESHUA was saying that the Holy Spirit was exactly like Him. Indeed, that was the reason why the disciples were COMFORTED—they knew that even though their comforter, master, and friend YESHUA was leaving, another one who was exactly like Him was going to take his place to comfort, counsel, help, intercede for, advocate for, strengthen, and be a stand-by support for them.

The Father is the Begetter, the Son is the Begotten, and the Holy Spirit is the one proceeding from the Father and the Son. Therefore, because these three persons in the ELOHIM head are in a state of unity, there is but one YAHWEH ELOHIM Almighty and His name one.

YESHUA did not speak His own words and neither did the RUACH ha’Kodesh!

John 12:49-50

Because I spoke not from Myself, but the Father who sent Me has given Me a Command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His Command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, as the Father has said to Me, so I speak.”

John 14:24

He who does not love Me does not guard My words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father who sent Me.”

John 16:13-14

But when He comes, the RUACH of the Truth, He shall guide you into all truth. For He shall NOT SPEAK FROM HIMSELF, but whatever HE HEARS He shall speak, and He shall announce to you what is to come. He shall esteem Me, for He shall take of what is Mine and announce it to you.”

 Did you notice the similarities between YESHUA and the RUACH ha’Kodesh? YESHUA did not speak His own words, He spoke the words of His Father YAHWEH; and The RUACH ha’Kodesh did not speak His own words, He spoke the words of YESHUA! This is truly beautiful how our ELOHIM works as They work in unison as ONE ELOHIM!

1 Corinthians 12:3

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the RUACH of ELOHIM says YESHUA is a curse, and no one is able to say that YESHUA is Master except by the The RUACH ha’Kodesh.”

The RUACH ha’Kodesh and His Role

Daniel 4:18

This dream have I seen, I, King Nebukadnetstasar. And you, Belteshatstsar, reveal its interpretation, since all the wise ones of my reign are unable to make known to me the interpretation. But you are able, for the RUACH of the Holy ELAH is IN YOU.”

Exodus 41:38

And the Pharaoh said to his servants, “Could we find another like him, a man whom is the RUACH of ELOHIM.”

John 16:7-10

But I say the truth to you. It is better for you that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you at all, but if I go, I shall send Him to you. And having come, He shall reprove the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment-concerning sin because they do not believe in Me, concerning righteousness because I go to My Father and you see Me no more.”

The RUACH ha’Kodesh leads us into all truth, He inspired men to write the scriptures, He reproves the world concerning sin, He gets you to stop walking in the flesh and leads you to keep the commandments of the Torah, and He brings esteem to YESHUA! He, The RUACH ha’Kodesh is critical in our walk with YESHUA! So let’s look at some of scriptures to show that He is living and not some object or force.

The RUACH ha’Kodesh speaks:

Ezekiel 3:23-24

So I got up and went out into the plain, and see, the esteem of YAHWEH stood there, like the esteem which I saw by the river Kevar, and I fell on my face. And the RUACH entered me and stood me on my feet, and SPOKE with me and said to me, “Go shut yourself inside your house.”

Mark 13:11

And when they lead you away and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand what you are going to say. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that, for it is NOT YOU WHO ARE SPEAKING, BUT THE RUACH HA’KODESH.”

Acts 13:2

And as they were doing service to the Adon (Master) and fasted, the RUACH ha’Kodesh SAID, “Separate unto Me Barnabas and Paul for the work to which I have called them.”

Acts 28:25-27

And disagreeing with one another, they began to leave, after Paul had spoken one word, “The RUACH ha’Kodesh rightly SPOKE through Isaiah the prophet to our ancestors, saying, ‘Go to this people and saying. “hearing you shall hear but by no means understand, and seeing you shall see but by no means perceive, for the heart of this people has become thickened, and with their ears they heard heavily, and they have closed their eyes, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn back, and I should heal them.”

Acts 8:29

And the RUACH SAID to Phillip “Go near and join him in that chariot.”

Acts 1:16

Men and brothers, this Scripture had to be filled which the RUACH ha’Kodesh SPOKE before by the mouth of David concerning Judah, who became a guide to those who seized YESHUA…”

The RUACH ha’Kodesh teaches:

John 14:26

But the Helper, the RUACH ha’Kodesh, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall TEACH you all, and remind you of all that I said to you.”

1 Corinthians 2:13

Which we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which The RUACH ha’Kodesh TEACHES, comparing spiritual with spiritual.”


Someone has to be living in order to teach you something and talk to you, I have never seen a shoe or an inanimate object be able to teach someone anything. People will also say don’t get caught up on pronouns, but again I have never seen anyone call a shoe a “he.” That is because the shoe is not living Person.

 

The RUACH ha’Kodesh thinks/make decisions:

Romans 8:26-27

And in the same way the RUACH helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray, but the RUACH HIMSELF, pleads our case for us with groaning’s unutterable. And He who searches the hearts KNOWS WHAT THE MIND OF THE RUACH IS, because He makes intercession for the saints according to ELOHIM.”

As we see from the scripture above is the RUACH ha’Kodesh has a mind; therefore, He is able to think and make decisions. No force, chair, shoe, or object as a mind, yet we see that the RUACH ha’Kodesh as one which should open up some eyes.

Acts 15:28

For it SEEMED GOOD to the RUACH ha’Kodesh, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessities…”

1 Corinthians 12:7-11

And to each one is given the manifestation of the RUACH for profiting, for to one is given a word of wisdom through the RUACH, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same RUACH, and to another belief by the same RUACH, and to another gifts of healing by the same RUACH, and to another operations of powers, and to another prophesy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. But one and the same RUACH works all these, distributing to each one individually as HE INTENDS.”

Acts 16:7

When they came to Musia, they tried to go into Bithunia, but the RUACH did not allow them.”

The RUACH ha’Kodesh grieves:

Ephesians 4:30

And do not GREIVE The RUACH ha’Kodesh of ELOHIM, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”

Here The RUACH ha’Kodesh is shown to have emotions! When you are living a life of sin and not doing the will of YAHWEH then He is grieved by your disobedience. The RUACH ha’Kodesh would have be living and be His own Being to have emotions, just like our Father YAHWEH and YESHUA! YAHWEH voiced His anger, wrath, and displeasure when the children of Yisra’el would sin, YESHUA showed anger when they turned His Father’s House into a den of thieves and flipped over the tables, He also wept went Lazarus died, and the RUACH ha’Kodesh as those same emotions. To put this in perspective you will never find a shoe or a table grieving over anything because they are just objects.

The RUACH ha’Kodesh bears witness:

John 15:26-27

And when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, The RUACH of the Truth, who comes from the Father, He shall bear witness of Me, but you also bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.”

The RUACH ha’Kodesh gives power:

Acts 1:8

But you shall receive power when the RUACH ha’Kodesh has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judah and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

YESHUA said that we will receive power when the RUACH ha’Kodesh comes upon us just the RUACH fell upon selected men in the Old Covenant. They were then able to deliver Yisra’el from their enemies with extra power that they could not do on their own strength. The same way we cannot do anything on our own strength, we need The RUACH ha’Kodesh. So be thankful for the gift of The RUACH ha’Kodesh that YESHUA promised to send for all who believe and get immersed.

Zechariah 4:6

And he answered and said to me, “This is the word of YAHWEH to Zerubbabel, “Not by might nor by power, but by My RUACH,’ said YAHWEH Sabaoth.”

Judges 3:9-10

And when the children of Yisra’el cried out to YAHWEH, YAHWEH raised up a savior for the children of Yisra’el who saved them: Othni’el son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. And the RUACH of YAHWEH came upon him (just as YESHUA spoke in Acts 1), and he ruled Yisra’el and went out to battle, and YAHWEH gave into his hand Kushan-Rish’athayim king of Aram Naharayim. And his hand prevailed over Kushan-Rish’athayim.”

Judges 11:29

“And the RUACH of YAHWEH came upon Yiphtah and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh and pass through Mitspet of Gilead. Verse 32 Yipthtah then passed on toward the children of Ammon to fight against them and YAHWEH gave them into his hands.”

Judges 14:5-6

Then Samson went down to Timnah with his dad and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah, and see, a young lion came roaring at him. And the RUACH of YAHWEH came mightily upon him, and he tore it apart as the tearing apart of a young goat, with nothing in his hand.”

1 Samuel 11:6

“And the RUACH of ELOHIM came upon Paul mightily as he heard these words, and his displeasure burned greatly.”

The RUACH ha’Kodesh causes you speak in tongues and prophesy:

2 Peter 1: 20-21

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture came to be of one’s own interpretation, for prophecy never came by the desire of man, but men of ELOHIM spoke, being moved by the RUACH ha’Kodesh.

Acts 2:4

And they were all filled with the RUACH ha’Kodesh and began to speak with other tongues, as the RUACH gave them to speak.”

Numbers 11:14-17

I am unable to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. And if You are doing this to me, please slay me altogether, if I have found favor in Your eyes, and let me not see my evil! Then YAHWEH said to Moses, “Gather to Me seventy men of Yisra’el, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them. And bring them to the Tent of Appointment, and let them stand there with you. And I shall come down and speak with you there, and shall take of the RUACH that is upon you, and put on them. And they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you do not bear it yourself alone.” Verse 25 “And YAHWEH came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the RUACH that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders. And it came to be when the RUACH rested upon them, that they prophesied, but did not continue.”

Acts 19:6

And when Paul had laid hands on them, the RUACH ha’Kodesh came upon them, and they were speaking in tongues and prophesied.”

Conclusion:

Now that we see that the RUACH ha’Kodesh is a Person and the third member of the ELOHIM head and not an object! Do not blaspheme Him but rather give thanks to our Father YAHWEH for sending us this wonderful gift! Let Him teach you and lead you into all truth. And if you have not already done so, make sure that you are immersed (baptized) in the Name of YAHWEH, YESHUA, and the RUACH ha’Kodesh is we read in Mathew 28.

John 3:5-7

YESHUA answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the RUACH, he is unable to enter into the reign of ELOHIM. That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the RUACH is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you. ‘You have to be born from above.”

Acts 2:38

And Peter said to them, “Repent, and let each one of you be immersed (baptized) in the Name of YESHUA ha’Mashiach for the forgiveness of sins. And you shall receive the GIFT of the RUACH ha’Kodesh.”

David knew the importance of the RUACH ha’Kodesh just as followers of YESHUA should today. David understood that he could not do anything on his own strength and he knew the power and the role of the RUACH ha’Kodesh just as we have outlined from all of the scriptures above.

Psalms 51:11

And do not take Your RUACH ha’Kodesh from me.”

Psalms 143:10

Teach me to do Your good pleasure, For You are my ELOHIM. Let your good RUACH lead me in the land of straightness.”

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

WARNING! YESHUA is NOT an IDOL!

If you are one who doesn’t believe in YESHUA or feel that He is an idol, that He is not the Son of YAHWEH, that He was just a man, just a prophet or that He was brought forth through Joseph, then this video is for you.

Please don’t comment based off the title alone but rather watch the entire message because it is very important for the doubters to hear. Your very salvation is a stake by not understanding the importance of this issue.

Proverbs 18:13 says

He who answers a matter before he hears it as folly and shame unto him.”

James 1:19-20

So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, for the wrath of a man does not work righteousness of ELOHIM.”

Galatians 1:6-9

I marvel that you are so readily turning away from Him who called you in the favor of Messiah, to a DIFFERENT ‘GOOD NEWS,’ which is NOT ANOTHER, only there are some who are troubling you and wanting to CORRUPT the Good News Of Messiah. However, even if we, or a messenger out of the heavens bring a ‘good news’ to you beside what we announced to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, and now I say again, if ANYONE brings a ‘good news’ to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed.”

This is what I see going on a lot here a lot, but Paul warned against this and said let them be accursed. Why? YESHUA is our Savior and denying Him has eternal consequences and I do not want anyone to be led astray by the false movement circulating right now about YESHUA being an idol.

John 3:18

He who believes in Him (YESHUA) is not judged, but he who does not believe is judged already, because has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of ELOHIM.”

The entire world should be doing what doubting Thomas did:

John 20:27-28

Then He said to Thomas, “Bring your finger here, and see My hands. And bring your hand and put it into My side-and do not be unbelieving, but believing.” And Thomas answered and said to Him, My Master and my ELOHIM.”

If YESHUA was not ELOHIM, He would have corrected Thomas, but notice how He confirmed everything that Thomas said, by saying “You have seen and believed?”

Enoch 48:1-5

And at that hour the Son of Man was named in the presence of the Master of Spirits, and His Name before the Head of Days. Yes, before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of the heaven were made, His Name was named before the Master of Spirits. He will be a staff to the righteous on which to steady themselves and not fall, and He will be the light of the Nations, and those who are troubled of heart. All who dwell on earth shall fall down and WORSHIP BEFORE HIM...”

Enoch verifies that what doubting Thomas did was the correct thing to do because the entire world will bow and every tongue confess that YESHUA is Master to the esteem of YAHWEH the Father, just as Paul says in Philippians 2:9-11. Listen with your heart to the scriptures presented and study them. And above all get on your knees and pray and ask Him if He is the Son of YAHWEH! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain! I will be going over scriptures proving YESHUA is the Son of YAHWEH and much more!

Deception

Just like the deception of the Lunar Sabbath and a day being morning to morning, is yet another deception circulating. And I now hear many saying that YESHUA the Son of YAHWEH is an idol and that His blood atonement is null and void. These are some scary words that terrify me and I’m not the one saying it. Without YESHUA and His blood atonement; nobody on this earth will be able to stand on judgment day, and will be found guilty by rejecting His atonement. Satan knows this and is now planting seeds in the earth to make people question or reject who YESHUA is because Satan knows that only He can save you!

The wages of sin is death and we have all fall short of His esteem; therefore, YAHWEH sent His Son YESHUA who bare the wrath of our sins that we could not pay, and YAHWEH did this simply out of love for us when He didn’t have to, this is “grace.” All throughout the Old Covenant we saw there were the Priests from the tribe of Levi who served in the Temple doing slaughter offerings of animals for the sins of the people. YAHWEH was teaching the Yisra’elites that when they sinned that innocent blood must be shed to atone for sin. It was a fore shadow of the innocent, perfect, spotless blood of Lamb of YAHWEH which is YESHUA who took away the sins of the world.

YESHUA and The Father are One!

John 14:9

YESHUA said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you have not known Me, Phillip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how do you say, ‘Show us the Father?”

This a beautiful scripture of what YESHUA said here because we will be discussing shortly that no one has ever seen the Father, which is why YESHUA said that if you have seen Him you have seen the Father because They are ONE!

John 10:30-33

I and My Father are ONE (ECHAD).” Again the Jews picked up stones to stone Him.” Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of these works do you stone Me?” The Jews answered Him, saying, “We do not stone You for a good work, but for BLASPHEMY, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself ELOHIM.”

Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear, O Yisra’el: YAHWEH our ELOHIM, YAHWEH is ONE (ECHAD)!”

Genesis 2:22-23

And the rib which YAHWEH ELOHIM had taken from the man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And the man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one is called ‘woman’, because she was taken out of man.” For this cause a man shall leave his dad and mother, and join unto his wife, and they shall become ONE (ECHAD) flesh.”

Most people read this scripture with a Western mindset and automatically assume this a singular form of “one” however, The Holy Scriptures have an “Eastern” mindset that must be applied when reading it. Echad in Hebrew is a “Unity Oneness” or a “Compound Unity”. Compound is defined as a thing that is composed of two or more SEPARATE elements”! So we know that Adam and Eve did not literally morph into one body and become one person! They were still two separate beings but one flesh through the marriage! Therefore, the same thing applies with our ELOHIM of Yisra’el. There is YAHWEH the Father, YESHUA The Son, and The RUACH ha’Kodesh The Holy Spirit. They are three separate Beings yet ONE (ECHAD) ELOHIM! YESHUA knew what He was saying and so did the Pharisees, which is why they picked up stones to stone Him. The Pharisees knew that YESHUA was saying that He is ELOHIM and wanted to kill Him.

No one has seen the Father YAHWEH at ANYTIME!

Colossians 1:15

“Who (YESHUA) is the LIKENESS OF THE INVISIBLE ELOHIM, the first-born of all creation

John 4:24

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also seeks such to worship Him. ELOHIM is Spirit (Invisible), and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”

These are clear scriptures that prove that YAHWEH is invisible and further proves that all throughout scripture it was YESHUA they saw face to face, who is the exact likeness and representation of His Father. Other proof of this is as follows:

Exodus 33:17-23

And YAHWEH said to Moses, “Even this word you have spoken I shall do, for you have found favor in My eyes, and I know you by name.” Then he said, “Please show me Your esteem.” And He said, “I shall cause all My goodness to pass before you, and I shall proclaim the Name of YAHWEH before you. And I shall favor him whom I favor, and shall have compassion on him whom I have compassion.” But He said, “YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE MY FACE, FOR NO MAN SEES ME AND LIVES.” And YAHWEH said, “See, there is a place with Me! and you shall stand on the rock. And it shall be, while My esteem passes by, that I shall put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand while I pass by. Then I shall take away My hand and you shall see My BACK, but My FACE SHALL NOT BE SEEN.”

Here is clear evidence from YAHWEH The Father that NO MAN can see His face and live! So we have to understand this concept before we go on any further because YESHUA and disciple John both agree that this is true.

John 6:46

Not that ANYONE has seen the Father, except HE (YESHUA) who is from ELOHIM, HE (YESHUA) has seen the Father.”

1 John 4:12

NO ONE has seen YAHWEH (The Father) AT ANY TIME…”

So armed with this information from scripture alone, let us examine some scriptures proving that it had to be YESHUA who they were speaking to when ELOHIM manifested Himself.

Genesis 32:24-30

And Jacob was left alone. And a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. And when He saw that He did not overcome him, He touched the socket of Jacob’s hip. And the socket of Jacob’s hip was dislocated and he wrestled with Him. And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I am not letting You go until You have blessed me!” So He asked him. “What is your name? And he said, Jacob.” And He said, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Yisra’el, because you have striven with ELOHIM and with men, and have overcome. And Jacob asked Him, saying, “Please let me know Your Name.” And He said, “Why do you ask about My Name? And He blessed him there.” And Jacob called the name of the Place Peni’el, “For I have seen ELOHIM FACE TO FACE, AND MY LIFE IS PRESERVED.”

Exodus 33:11

Thus YAHWEH spoke to Moses FACE TO FACE, as a man speaks to his friend…”

Now we all have seen from scripture in Exodus 33:17-20, John 6:46, and 1 John 4:12 that NO ONE has ever seen the Father at ANYTIME. And YAHWEH told Moses that no one sees His Face and LIVES, yet Jacob said He saw ELOHIM face to face and lived! So if no one has seen the ELOHIM the Father, then who did Jacob see? ELOHIM THE SON!

Many get stumped over the fact that a Man is mentioned first wrestling with Jacob and they feel that negates versus 28 and 30 that clearly says Jacob saw ELOHIM face to face. Didn’t YESHUA call Himself the SON OF MAN being ELOHIM who took on the form of a Man, born of a virgin? The Man wrestling with Jacob is the SON OF MAN who we know is YESHUA, Who is ELOHIM the Son! Also, name me one human man that can just touch someone’s socket and dislocate it without force? That was purely supernatural.

Enoch 48:2-3

And at that hour the SON OF MAN was Named in the presence of YAHWEH of hosts, and His Name before the Head of Days. Even BEFORE THE SUN AND THE SIGNS WERE CREATED, before the stars of the heavens were made, His Name was Named before YAHWEH of Hosts.”

So before all creation came to be YESHUA is identified as The SON OF MAN LONG before He became flesh and walked the earth; and YESHUA was named before YAHWEH!

Mathew 24:27-30

For as the lightning comes from the east and shines to the west, so also shall the coming of the SON OF MAN be.” For wherever the dead is, there the vultures shall be gathered the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heavens, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then the sign of the SON OF MAN shall appear in the heavens, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the SON OF MAN coming on the clouds of the heavens with power and much esteem.”

Judges 6:18-23

Please do not move away from here, until I come to You (The Messenger of YAHWEH) and bring out my offering and put it before You. And He (The Messenger of YAHWEH) said, “I shall stay until you return.” “And Gideon went in, and prepared a young goat, and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot. And he brought them out to Him, under the terebinth tree, and presented it. And the Messenger of ELOHIM said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And he did so. And the Messenger of YAHWEH put forth the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened bread. And fire went up out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. And the Messenger of YAHWEH went from his sight. And when Gideon saw that He was a Messenger of YAHWEH, Gideon said, “Oh Adonai YAHWEH! For I have seen a Messenger of YAHWEH FACE TO FACE.” And YAHWEH said to him, “Peace be with you! Do not fear, you do not die.”

Judges 13:3-25 (Septuagint version concerning the birth of Samson)

And a Messenger of YAHWEH appeared to the woman and said to her, “See now, you are barren and have not borne, but you shall conceive, and you shall bear a son.” Verse 6 “And the woman came and spoke to her husband, saying, A Man of ELOHIM came to me, and His appearance was like the appearance of a Messenger of ELOHIM, very AWESOME. But I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not declare to me His Name.” Verse 17-22 “The Manowah said to the Messenger of YAHWEH, “What is Your Name? When Your words come true, then we shall esteem You.” And the Messenger of YAHWEH said to him, “What do you ask My Name, since it is WONDERFUL? And Monowah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it upon the rock to YAHWEH. And the Messenger of YAHWEH performed A DISTINCT WORK and Manowah and his wife were looking on. And it came to be, as the flame went up toward the heavens from the altar, that the Messenger of YAHWEH went up in the flame of the altar. And Manowah and his wife were watching and they fell on their faces to the ground. And the Messenger of YAHWEH did not appear any more to Manowah and his wife. Then Manowah knew that He was a Messenger of YAHWEH. And Manowah said to his wife, “We shall certainly die, BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN ELOHIM!”

So again, if no one has seen YAHWEH face to face and lived, then who was Gideon, Manowah and his wife speaking to face to face? Gideon and Manowah feared that they were going to die because of Who they saw and Manowah said “We have seen ELOHIM”, yet they were allowed to live. And Monowah’s wife said His appearance was awesome! That is because they did not see The Father they all saw The Son.

Scripture makes it a point to show us that there was something different about this Messenger of YAHWEH because Monawah’s wife says in verse 6 “He did not declare to Me His Name.” Then Manowah later asked the Messenger of YAHWEH His Name and He said, “Why do you ask My Name because it is WONDERFUL?” No other messenger has ever made this claim about their name being wonderful, because this honor is to ELOHIM alone! Furthermore, Manowah’s wife in verse 23 says” But his wife said to him. If YAHWEH had been pleased to put us to death, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all this, nor would He have let us hear the like of this.” So this clearly it was not YAHWEH, but a being like YAHWEH, it was YESHUA just how Jacob and Moses saw ELOHIM face to face and lived!

Joshua 5:13-15

And it came to be, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked and saw a Man standing opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?’ And He said, “No, for I have now come as Captain of the hosts of YAHWEH.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and did obeisance, and said to Him, “What is Adonai (My Master) saying to His servant? And the Captain of the hosts of YAHWEH said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.”

Firstly, the Man that Joshua saw clearly did not say He was YAHWEH the Father, He said He was the Captain of the hosts OF YAHWEH, He made a distinction of two different Beings! Then Joshua falls down on his face and calls Him “My Master” and thirdly the Captain of the hosts of YAHWEH says “TAKE YOUR SANDAL OFF YOUR FOOT, FOR THE PLACE WHERE YOU STAND IS HOLY.”

And again, Joshua saw the face of ELOHIM but did not die.

The only time a sandal was commanded to be removed is in the presence of our holy ELOHIM just as we see in Exodus with Moses at the burning bush:

 Exodus 3:4-5

And YAHWEH saw that he turned aside to see, and ELOHIM called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses! Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” And He said, “Do not come near here. TAKE YOUR SANDALS OFF YOUR FEET, FOR THE PLACE ON WHICH YOU ARE STANDING IS HOLY GROUND.”

Therefore, we can conclude that the Captain that Joshua saw face to face was YESHUA, ELOHIM The Son! And Joshua was required to remove his sandal because YESHUA is Holy as His Father is.

Numbers 21:6

And YAHWEH sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. And many of the people of Yisra’el died.”

1 Corinthians 10:9

Neither let us try Messiah, as some of them also tried, and were destroyed by serpents.”

1 Corinthians 10:1-4

For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our ancestors were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were immersed into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed, and the Rock was Messiah (YESHUA).”

Here we can conclude that Paul is saying that YESHUA was the Messenger (Angel) of YAHWEH that went before the people in the Exodus from Egypt; and stood behind them and in front of Pharaoh; He was with them passing through the sea; and it was YESHUA who sent the fiery serpents among the complaining Israelites in Numbers 21.

Hebrews 11:24-26

By belief, Moses, having become great, refused to be called the son of the daughter of Pharaoh, choosing rather to be afflicted with the people of ELOHIM than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time, deeming the reproach of MASHIACH (MESSIAH) greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward.”

So here, the writer of Hebrews says the same thing that Paul says and that is YESHUA was there in the Torah in Exodus. But also, if Moses never saw YESHUA or YESHUA doesn’t exist, then how could Moses have chosen to take the road of persecution for Messiah during his time on earth? Obviously, Moses knew who YESHUA was well before YESHUA became flesh. Further evidence of this ties into to the following scripture:

Exodus 14:19-20

And the Messenger of ELOHIM, who WENT BEFORE THE CAMP of Yisra’el, moved and went behind them. And the column of cloud went from before them and stood behind them, and came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Yisra’el. And it was the cloud of darkness, and it gave light by night, and the one did not come near the other all the night.”

Exodus 23:20-21

See, I am sending a Messenger before you to guard you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Be on guard before Him and obey His voice. Do not rebel against Him, for He is not going to pardon your transgressions, for My Name is in Him.”

So a Messenger went before the Yisra’elites and YAHWEH’s Name is in this Messenger. Again, we know this is YESHUA because YESHUA’s Name literally means “YAHWEH IS SALVATION, so yes His Father’s Name is in Him. Furthermore, this Messenger had the authority to not pardon transgressions/sins! What messenger/angel has that kind of authority unless He is YESHUA the Son of YAHWEH? So now, we see can see the connection of what Messenger of YAHWEH this is and how Moses saw YESHUA. Stephen gives us more clues when he is speaking before being stoned to death:

Acts 7:35-38

This Moses whom they had refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’- this one ELOHIM sent to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the MESSENGER who appeared to him in the bush (burning bush). Verse 38 “This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the MESSENGER who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors, who received the living Words to give to us..”

This may come as a shocker to most and especially to those who reject YESHUA! We have established that no one has ever seen the Father at any time; and now we see the Messenger whose YAHWEH’s Name is in, is the same Messenger Moses saw face to face, the same Messenger that lead them through the sea, is the same Messenger who spoke the 10 commandments to Moses at Sinai. That is how Moses knew to join in with the children of Yisra’el for persecution of Messiah as written in Hebrews 11, because YESHUA existed from the beginning, even before Abraham, which is why YESHUA can absolutely say:

John 8:56-58

“Your father Abraham was glad that he should see My day, and he saw it and rejoiced.” The Jews therefore, said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham? YESHUA said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.” Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him…”

Genesis 18:1-3

And YAHWEH appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, while he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. So he lifted his eyes and looked, and saw three men standing opposite him. And when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, and said, “YAHWEH, If I have now found favor in Your eyes, please do not pass Your servant by.”

That is why it was so critical to go over the scriptures earlier that NO ONE has seen The Father YAHWEH at any time, and that No has seen the face of YAHWEH and lived! Yet, here we see Abraham conversing with YAHWEH and does not die, so how can this be? YESHUA said that if you have seen Me then you have seen The Father because He and the Father are ONE and as Paul says in Colossians 1:15 “Who is the LIKENESS OF THE INVISIBLE ELOHIM, the first-born of all creation”, so if YAHWEH is invisible that means that these manifestation accounts of ELOHIM that Abraham and many others saw was YESHUA, which is why YESHUA could absolutely say that “Abraham was glad that he should see My day, and saw it and rejoiced.”

Genesis 15:1

After these events the WORD OF YHWH “CAME” to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your reward is exceedingly great.” And Abram said, “Adonai YHWH, what would You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eli’ezer of Dammeseq? And Abram said, “See You have given me no seed, and see, one born in my house is my heir!” And see (separated from the vision), the WORD OF YAHWEH came to him, saying, “This one is not your heir, but he who comes from your own body is your heir.” And He (THE WORD OF YAHWEH) brought him outside and said, “Look now toward the heavens, and count the stars if you are able to count them, “So are your seed.”

The Septuagint says in Genesis 15:1

And after these things the WORD OF YHWH came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I shield you, your reward shall be very great. And Abram said, Adon (Master) and ELOHIM, what would You give me?”

Abraham called the Word of YAHWEH which is YESHUA Master and ELOHIM, just as doubting Thomas did when YESHUA told in to put his finger in His hand and side in John 20:28.

So right here in Genesis we see that the Word of YAHWEH appeared to Abraham and literally took him outside to show him the stars of the heavens. Who is the Word of YAHWEH?

Revelation 19:13

And having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood-and His Name is called: THE WORD OF YAHWEH.”

Jeremiah 1:4-9

Now the WORD OF YAHWEH came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you came out of the womb I sanctified you-I appointed you a prophet to nations.” And I said, “Ah, Adonai YAHWEH! See, I do not know how to speak, for I am a youth.” And YAHWEH said to me, “Do not say, I am a youth,’ but go to all to whom I send you, and speak whatever I command you. Do not fear their places, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares YAHWEH. Then YAHWEH put for His hand and touched my mouth, and YAHWEH said to me, “See, I have put My words in your mouth.”

So firstly, the Word of YAHWEH which is defined as YESHUA spoke to Jeremiah, then it says that YAHWEH literally touched Jeremiah’s lips and put His words in his mouth. So now, we have to remember what we discussed earlier and that is NOBODY has ever seen the Father at ANYTIME, so this means Jeremiah saw YESHUA who touched his lips. Remember, YESHUA said if you have seen Me, then you have seen The Father!

Just think about how many times we have read in scripture with the prophets when it says “And the Word of YAHWEH spoke to me saying..”

So if no one has ever seen the Father at any time because nobody has seen Him face to face and lived, yet we see people seeing ELOHIM face to face and lived. How can that be? That is because they all saw YESHUA who is The Word of YAHWEH or other times appearing as the MESSENGER of YAHWEH, who is ELOHIM the Son! The very One who took on the form of a man and walked among us!

More Evidence

Genesis 31:11-13

And the Messenger of ELOHIM spoke to me in a dream, saying, ‘Jacob.’ And I said, “Here I am.” And He said, ‘Lift your eyes now and see, all the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, speckled, and mottled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you. I am ELOHIM that appeared to you at Beyth El, where you anointed the STANDING COLUMN and were you made a VOW to Me.”

Notice the Messenger of YAHWEH is the One speaking and He says that He is ELOHIM? That is the first indicator that this YESHUA speaking. Also keep in mind the words “Standing Column” and “Vow” when He appeared to Jacob. We have to go back to Genesis 28 to get a clearer picture.

Genesis 28:11-22

And he came upon a place and stopped over for the night, for the sun was down. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed and saw a ladder standing on the earth, and its top reached to the heavens, and saw messengers of ELOHIM going up and coming down on it. And see, YAHWEH stood above it and said, I am YAHWEH ELOHIM of Abraham your father and the ELOHIM of Isaac. The land on which are lying, I give it to you and your seed.” Verse 17 and he (Jacob) was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of ELOHIM, and this is the gate of the heavens!” Verse 19 and he called the name of that place Beyth El (Remember Genesis 31:11-13? The Messenger said He was ELOHIM that appeared at Beyth El?) However, the name of that city had been Luz previously. And Jacob made a VOW, saying, “Seeing ELOHIM is with me, and has kept me in this way that I am going, and has given me bread to eat and a garment to put on-when I have returned to my dad’s house in peace, and YAHWEH shall be my ELOHIM, then this stone which I have placed as a STANDING COLUMN shall be ELOHIM’s house, and all that You give me, I shall certainly give you a tenth to You.”

So the Messenger of YAHWEH said that He is ELOHIM that appeared to Jacob where he made a STANDING COLUMN and made the VOW to Him at Beyth El! And we see Jacob changed the name of place from Luz to Beyth El and then Jacob made a STANDING COLUMN and made the VOW to give a tenth of all! So we see that it was YESHUA who Jacob made the vow to, ELOHIM the Son!

Baruk 3:30-37 (Included in 1611 KJV)

He who prepared the earth forever has filled it with four-footed beasts; He who sends forth light, and it goes, calls it again, and it obeys Him with reverence. The stars shone in their watches, and rejoiced; When He calls them, they say, “Here are we.” And so with gladness they showed light unto He who made them. This is our ELOHIM, and there is no other be counted in comparison of Him! He has found all the way of knowledge, and has given it unto Jacob His servant, and to Yisra’el His beloved. Afterward He showed Himself on the earth, and conversed with men.”

This is a clear picture from Baruk the scribe to Jeremiah that ELOHIM the Son became flesh on earth and conversed with men, because we already know that nobody has seen the Father YAHWEH and lived.

John 17:5

And now, esteem Me with Yourself, Father, with the esteem which I had with You BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.”

Covenant

Genesis 15:17-18 (Septuagint)

And when the sun was about to set there was a flame and see, a smoking furnace and lamps of fire which passed between these divided pieces. In that day YAHWEH made a covenant with Abram saying, to your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to great river of Euphrates.”

So we that a smoking furnace and lamps of fire passed between the heifer, ram, and goat that Abraham cut in half, and in doing so YAHWEH established a covenant with Abraham. This was YAHWEH, YESHUA, and the RUACH HA’KODESH (The Holy Spirit) passing between the pieces. The Septuagint shows lamps (plural) whereas most translations say a smoking oven and burning torch (singular). Either way, it still proves YESHUA was there as a part of the Covenant with YAHWEH! Passing between the pieces of an animal was a way to establish covenants in ancient Yisra’el as we see in Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 34:18

And I shall give the men who are transgressing My COVENANT, who have not established the words of the covenant, which they made before Me, when they CUT THE CALF IN TWO AND PASSED BETWEEN THE PARTS OF IT…”

YESHUA is the Son of YAHWEH and King!

Let us take a look at scripture at see what YAHWEH’s Word says and use the Septuagint as well. The Septuagint was written in 260 B.C. the earliest translation of the Hebrew to the Greek by 70 Jewish scholars. Then 1100 years later comes the Masoretic text written by the Pharisees, the very ones who rejected YESHUA. So their goal was to delete passages and change words to hide the prophecies of YESHUA that are plain for all to see. Even, though it was still clear to me who YESHUA was before I read the Septuagint, I want to point why they changed it. Being that they rejected YESHUA when He walked the earth, they had to change the text to fit their false teachings, so nothing has changed since 2,000 years ago. It reminds me of the resurrection account of YESHUA recording in Mathew.

Mathew 28:1-15

Now after the Sabbath, toward dawn on one of the Sabbaths, Mary from Magdala and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And see, there was a great earthquake, for a messenger of YAHWEH came down out of the heavens, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. And his appearance was like lightning, and his garment as white as snow. And the guards trembled for fear of him, and became like dead men. And the messenger responding, said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek YESHUA, who was impaled. He is not here, for He was RAISED, as He said. Come, see the place the Adon (Master) lay. Verse 10 Then YESHUA said to them  “Do not be afraid. Go, report to My brothers, to go the Galilee, and they shall see Me there.” And while they were going, see, some of the sentries having gone into the city, reported to the chief priest all that took place. And when they came together with the elders and take counsel, they gave enough silver to the soldiers, saying, “Say that His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept. And if this should be reported to the governor, we shall win him over and keep you out of trouble. And having taken the silver they did as they were instructed. And this account was widely spread among the Jews, to this day.”

As we can see the Pharisees had an agenda in mind to hide YESHUA rising from the dead, the same way they tried to hide the prophecies of YESHUA by changing the text written in the scriptures. And many are believing the lie that YESHUA is not the Son of YAHWEH.

Daniel 3:20-25 (Septuagint)

And he commanded mighty men to bind Sadrach, Meishach and Aved-Nego and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then those men were bound with their coats and caps and tunic and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace, as far as the king’s word prevailed; and the furnace was made exceeding hot. Then the three men, Shadrach, Meishach and Aved-Nego, fell bound into the midst of the burning furnace and walked in the midst of the flame, singing praises to ELAH (Aramaic for ELOHIM) and blessing YAHWEH. And Nebuchadnezzar heard them singing praises; and he wondered and rose up in haste and said to his nobles, did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? And they said to the king, yes, O king. And the king said, but I see FOUR MEN loose and walking in the midst of the fire and there is no destruction of them; and the appearance of the FOURTH is like the SON OF ELAH.”

We can see that Nebuchadnezzar out of his own mouth say they threw three men into the fire, but there is a fourth one there. And even he understood the fourth One was The SON OF YAHWEH, YESHUA! Some versions say the fourth was like the “sons of the gods” which backs up what I was saying about them trying to hide who YESHUA is, which is why translations are important!

Psalms 2:5-9 (Septuagint)

Then shall he speak to them in his anger and trouble them in His fury. But I have been made KING by Him on Zion His set-apart mountain, declaring the statute of YAHWEH: YAHWEH said to ME, YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN YOU. Ask of Me and I will give you the goyim (gentiles) as your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall tend them as a Shepherd; You shall dash them in pieces as a potter’s vessel.”

So as we see there are two voices speaking here and one of them is YESHUA! YESHUA says that YAHWEH The Father Has Made Him King on Zion the Holy Mountain; AND that YAHWEH says that YESHUA is His Son and has begotten Him! What is the definition of begotten? Merriam-Webster defines begotten as- Brought into existence by or as if by a parent.

Revelation 3:14

And to the messenger of the assembly of Laodecia write, “The Ahmein, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF YAHWEH, says this…”

2 Esdras 7:28-29

For My SON YESHUA shall be revealed with those who are with Him, and those who remain shall rejoice within four hundred years. After these years ha’Mashiach My SON shall die, and all men who have life.”

Cleary we can see that YESHUA was speaking in Psalms WELL before He became flesh and made it clear that He is the begotten Son of YAHWEH and that YAHWEH has Made Him King and that He would Shepherd the nations! Which ties into these following scriptures:

John 18:36-37

YESHUA answered, “My reign is not of this world. If my reign were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews. But now My reign is NOT FROM HERE.” Then Pilate said to Him, “You are a King, then?” YESHUA answered, “You say it, because I AM A KING. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”

Even here YESHUA makes it known that His Kingdom is not on earth but in heaven. Even though He is still going to set up His Kingdom for 1,000 years on earth when He returns. He left His throne to take on the form of a man and humble Himself obedient until death for us. Yet, He is getting treated as if He is nothing but many in this world.

Revelation 19:15-16

“And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations. And He shall Shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of El Shaddai. And on His robe and on His banner He has a Name written: KING OF kings and MASTER of masters.”

Micah 5:2 (Septuagint)

And you, Beyth-Lehem, house of Ephrata, are few in number to be reckoned among the thousands of Yehudah (Judah); yet out of you one shall come out to Me, to a RULER OF YISRA’EL; and His goings out were FROM THE BEGINNING, EVEN FROM THE DAYS OF THE ETERNITY.”

Jubilees 31:19 (Isaac filled with the spirit of prophecy blessed Judah)

“In you shall be the help of Jacob, and in YOU THE SALVATION OF YISRA’EL will be found.”

Another beautiful prophecy where our Father YAHWEH says that out of the tribe of Judah where our Messiah came from, would arise a Ruler of Yisra’el who was here from the beginning even from the days of eternity.  Which is more proof YESHUA was here from the beginning and would become flesh for Salvation of the world along with the many other scriptures I presented earlier; and ties in harmoniously with the following scriptures:

John 1:1-3

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with ELOHIM, and the Word was ELOHIM. He was IN THE BEGINNING WITH ELOHIM. All came to be through Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be.”

Colossians 1:15-16

Who is the likeness of the invisible ELOHIM, the FIRST-BORN of all creation. Because in Him were created all that are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities or authorities-ALL HAVE BEEN CREATED THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM. And He is BEFORE ALL, and in Him ALL hold together.”

In order for all things to have been created through YESHUA and the first-born of all creation the begotten Son of YAHWEH, He would have to have been here from the beginning with YAHWEH just as Psalms 2 and Micah 5:2 said.

2 Esdras 42-47

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

John 9:35-37

YESHUA heard that they had cast him out, and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the SON OF ELOHIM? He answered and said, “Who is He, My Master, that I might believe in Him? And YESHUA said to him, “You have both seen Him and He who speaks with you is He.”

YESHUA told the blind man that He is the Son of YAHWEH point blank, the same way He told the Samaritan woman in John 4 that He is the Messiah!

But YAHWEH is the Only Savior argument!

Isaiah 43:11

“I, I am YAHWEH, and besides Me there is no savior.”

On the surface without examining scripture you would come to this conclusion, but we must read line upon line and precept upon precept. The Scriptures that I read from Psalms and Micah should be convincing evidence in itself because they are clear! However let’s examine Isaiah 43:11. So, again I use the same example I used in the introduction.

Echad in Hebrew is a “Unity Oneness”! So we know that Adam and Eve did not literally morph into one body and become one person! They were still two separate beings but one flesh! The same thing applies with our ELOHIM. There is YAHWEH the Father and YESHUA The Son. They are separate beings yet ONE (ECHAD) ELOHIM! So YAHWEH sending His Son is like sending Himself being that they are ONE! Plus, YESHUA’s Name literally means “YAHWEH IS SALVATION.” So yes, YAHWEH was telling the truth and so is YESHUA, as One ELOHIM He is Savior. I cannot think of one human dad who would offer up his innocent son for the sins of the entire world. The first thing the dad would say is, my son didn’t do anything to deserve this and it isn’t fair or he would say they knew what they were doing before they did it. But, that is not what YAHWEH did, He sent His Son to be our Savior, which truly shows His love and mercy upon us all!

2 Esdras 2:34-36

And therefore I say unto you, “O you gentiles that hear and understand, look for you Shepherd, He shall give you everlasting rest; for He is near at hand, who shall come at the end of the world. Be ready for the reward of the reign, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you forever. Flee, the shadow of this world, receive the joy of your esteem; I witness of my SAVIOR openly. O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks to He who has led you to the reign of the heavens.”

Furthermore, you cannot isolate Isaiah 43:11 alone to make your argument, when YAHWEH has already spoken from His own mouth in the same Book of Isaiah. Isaiah 7:14 that a virgin would conceive and bear and Son and He would be called “El with us” and another prophecy in Isaiah 9:5-6 from the Septuagint reads

“For a Child is born to us (ties in to the virgin birth prophecy of Isaiah 7:14), whose government is upon His shoulder; and His name is called the Messenger of great counsel: For I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to Him. His government shall be great, and of His peace there is no end: it shall be upon the throne of David, and upon his Kingdom, to establish it, and to support it with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth and FOREVER. The Zeal of YAHWEH SABAOTH shall perform this.”

This is not some ordinary child as we see that there shall be no end to His peace and He shall establish His Kingdom with judgment and righteousness forever! No human lives forever, plus YAHWEH says from His own mouth “The zeal of YAHWEH SABAOTH shall perform this.” So again, Isaiah 43 cannot with isolated while neglecting two prophecies within the same book. And His kingdom is established upon the throne of David as YAHWEH promised:

1 Kings 9:5

I will establish your royal throne over Yisra’el FOREVER, as I promised David your dad when I said, “You shall never fail to have a successor on the throne of Yisra’el.”

And that prophecy from Isaiah ties into that promise that YAHWEH made to David and He will place His Son YESHUA on the throne to reign forever!

But He was a Man argument!

Many will then point to Numbers 23:18 which says:

El is not a man, to lie; nor a son of man, to repent! Has He said, and would He not do it; or spoken, and would not confirm it?”

Believers are neglecting that fact that YESHUA became LIKE A MAN, meaning that He wasn’t a man previously before He became flesh. Fully ELOHIM and FULLY MAN as Paul writes in Philippians. Then Hebrews points out that YESHUA had to give up His authority as ELOHIM to become flesh and be made in every way like His brothers. YESHUA had to become flesh to be our perfect High Priest who was tried just as we are yet apart from sin. This is what makes Him the perfect Mediator between man and ELOHIM.

Hebrews 2:17

So IN EVERY WAY He had to be made LIKE His brothers, in order to become a compassionate and trustworthy High Priest in matters related to YAHWEH, to make atonement for the sins of the people. For in what He had suffered, Himself being tried, He is able to help those who are tried.”

Philippians 2:5-7

For, let this mind be in you which was also in Messiah YESHUA, who, being IN THE FORM OF ELOHIM, did not regard equality with ELOHIM matter to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, and came to BE IN THE LIKNESS OF MEN.”

A beautiful scripture showing that YESHUA is ELOHIM The Son who took on the LIKENESS OF A MAN though being in a form of ELOHIM, which shows that He was here from the beginning, so He “became” a man meaning that His natural state/being is ELOHIM but He became a man meaning He wasn’t man already! Even Paul said “a matter to be grasped” because Paul understood the obedience and humility that YESHUA would have to suffer knowing who He is and where He came from. He took on human flesh for our sins, yet many are rejecting Him.

John 5:33-34

You have sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth. But I do not receive witness FROM MAN, but I say this in order that you might be saved.”

Another scripture that proves YESHUA is ELOHIM! He said that He does not take witness from a MAN! Meaning that is natural form is ELOHIM the Son and not a human, He is ELOHIM the Son who became a man. YESHUA knows who He is and did not identify Himself on the same level as John the Baptist who is human.

Joseph did not bring forth YESHUA!

Another lie being told is that Joseph mated with Mary to bring forth YESHUA and that He was not born of the Holy Spirit. This is also very dangerous because that means you are calling YAHWEH a liar and are denying His power!

Isaiah 7:14 (Septuagint )

Therefore Adonai (My Master) Himself shall give you a sign; See, a VIRGIN shall conceive in the womb and shall bring forth a Son and you shall call His Name Immanuel (El With us).”

Luke 1:30-35

“And the messenger said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with ELOHIM. And see, you shall conceive in your womb, and shall give birth to a Son, and call His Name YESHUA. He shall be great, and shall be called the SON of the Most High. And YAHWEH ELOHIM shall give Him the throne of His father David. And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and there shall be no end to His reign.” And Mary said to the messenger, “How shall this be, SINCE I DO NOT KNOW A MAN (Saying she is a virgin)? And the messenger answering, said to her, “The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you. And for that reason the Holy One born of you shall be called: SON OF YAHWEH.”

Mathew 1:18-20

And the birth of YESHUA ha’Mashiach was as follows: After His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, BEFORE THEY CAME TOGETHER (meaning sexually), she was found to be PREGNANT FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. And Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not wanting to make a show of her, had in mind to put her away secretly.” But while he thought about this, see a messenger of YAHWEH appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for THAT WHICH IS IN HER WAS BROUGHT FORTH FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.” Verse 24-25 “And Joseph, awaking from his sleep, did as the messenger of YAHWEH commanded him and took his wife, BUT KNEW HER NOT (Sexually) UNTIL SHE GAVE BIRTH TO HER SON, THE FIRST-BORN. And he called His Name YESHUA.”

Just as prophesied in Isaiah 7:14 that a virgin would conceive, we see that Mary was pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Mary herself asked the messenger how was she to bring forth a child when she had NOT had relations with a man. Then Joseph saw that Mary who was a virgin was pregnant before he slept with her thought that she was being unfaithful to him. And we can see in verse 25 that Joseph did not even have sex with Mary until AFTER YESHUA was born.

Mark 12:35-37

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

YESHUA just confirmed that David called Him “My Master” so if David called YESHUA “My Master” then how is He David’s Son? Impossible! YESHUA is the Son of YAHWEH.

Ask our Father YAHWEH for Revelation

 Mathew 16:13-16

Now when YESHUA came into the parts of Kaisereia Phillipos, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say the Son of Man is? And they said, “Some John the Baptist, and others Elijah, and others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. He said to them, “And you, who do you say I am? And Simon Peter answering, said, “You are ha’Mashiach, the Son of the living ELOHIM.” And YESHUA answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.”

Notice YESHUA did not deny that He is the Son of YAHWEH? As a matter of fact He called Peter blessed that this revelation of the truth of who He is was revealed to Him by our Father YAHWEH! So only our Father YAHWEH can reveal to you that YESHUA His Son as YESHUA says in the gospel of John:

John 6:44

No one is able to come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him. And I shall raise him up in the last day.”

Enoch 62:7

For from the beginning the Son of Man was hidden, and the Most High preserved Him in presence of His might, and REVEALED Him to the elect.”

So we see YESHUA confirms what happened to Peter was from our Father YAHWEH Who made it known to him that He is the Son of YAHWEH and was here from the beginning! YESHUA was here before He walked the earth in the flesh! If you are not having this revelation pray to the Father that He makes it known to you as it was known to Peter and those of us who know the truth

Philippians 2:9-11

YAHWEH, therefore, has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name, that at the Name of YESHUA every knee should bow, of those in the heavens, and of those on the earth, and those under the earth, and every tongue should confess that YESHUA ha’Mashiach is Master, to the esteem of YAHWEH the Father.”

Every knee will bow including anyone who hates and rejects Him! Let it be known today that you should repent!

Judges 2:16-17

Then YAHWEH raised up rulers (judges) who SAVED them from the hand of those who plundered them. However, they did not listen to their rulers either, but went whoring after other mighty ones…”

Judges 2:9-11

 “And when the children of Yisra’el cried out to YAHWEH, YAHWEH raised up a SAVIOR for the children of Yisra’el, who SAVED THEM: Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.”

All throughout scripture Yisra’el has needed a Savior and YAHWEH would raise up a Savior to save them, but just like Judges 2:16 says they would not listen to the rulers; is the same way many aren’t listening to the words of YESHUA who spoke the Words of His Father. YAHWEH has yet again raised up a Savior for us in His own Son YESHUA, yet He is being mocked, blasphemed, and rejected by many today. Today is the time to repent and come before YESHUA The King before He comes back because He will be the One judging you.

1 John 4:1-3

Beloved ones, do not believe every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of ELOHIM, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of ELOHIM: Every spirit that confesses that YESHUA ha’Mashiach has come in the flesh is of ELOHIM, and every spirit that does not confess that YESHUA ha’Mashiach has come in the flesh is NOT of ELOHIM. And this is that of the anti-messiah which you heard is coming and now is already in the world.” Verse 15 Whoever confesses that YESHUA is the Son of YAHWEH, ELOHIM stays in him, and he in ELOHIM.”

1 John 2:22-23

Who is the liar, except the one DENYING that YESHUA is ha’Mashicah? This is the anti-messiah, the one DENYING THE FATHER AND THE SON. No one denying the Son has not the Father. The one confessing the Son has the Father as well.”

John 8:21

Therefore YESHUA said to them again, “I am going away, and you shall see Me, and you shall die in your sin. Where I go you are unable to come.” (Because He dwells in heaven). Then the Jews said, “Shall He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you are unable to come?” And He said to them, “you are from below (earth), I am from above (heaven). You are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if you DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I AM, you shall DIE IN YOUR SINS.”

If you do not believe that YESHUA is the Son of YAHWEH as He said, that He came from heaven, was here from the beginning and took on human flesh to die for forgiveness of sins, then you will die in your sins. This is serious!

Romans 5:18-19

So then, as through one trespass there resulted condemnation to all men, so also through one righteous act there resulted righteous-declaring to life to all men. For as through the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One many shall be made righteous.”

With His blood you are declared right and by keeping His commandments, if not you will still be viewed as a sinner!

John 5:21-23

For as the Father raises the dead and makes alive, even so the Son makes alive whom HE WANTS. For the Father judges no one, but has given all the judgment to the Son, that all should value the SON EVEN AS THEY VALUE THE FATHER. He who DOES NOT VALUE THE SON DOES NOT VALUE THE FATHER WHO SENT HIM.”

How can YESHUA raise you up on the last day as He promises if you denied His very existence? He is the One who will judge you and He who hold the keys to death and the grave? Remember this and repent! And May our Father YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name.
