Christianity and HELL’s FIRE WARNING!

This is a follow up to the last message titled “A message to all Christians”. This is a warning to all Christianity and the false doctrines they are believing in, please take the time to read this entire message to discover the truth. Get things in order now because Judgement Day is going to bring torments to many.

1 John 3:4

“Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness (transgression of Torah), and sin is lawlessness.”

Romans 6:23

“For the wages of sin is DEATH (Eternal torment), but the favorable gift of ELOHIM is everlasting life in Messiah YESHUA our Master.”

Enoch 100:7-9

“Woe to you, Sinners (Transgression of Torah), on the day of strong anguish; you who afflict the righteous and burn them with fire. You shall be repaid according to your works. Woe to you, you obstinate of heart, who watch in order to devise wickedness. Therefore fear shall come upon you, and there shall be none to help you. Woe to you, you sinners, on account of the words of your mouth, and account of the deeds of your hands which your wickedness has worked. You shall BURN IN BLAZING FLAMES BURNING WORSE THAN FIRE.”

I just want everyone to visualize what Enoch just said. None of us an deal with any type of fire on this earth, we quickly turn away from the heat of the flames because none of us can endure it, so how much more is flames burning worse than fire at the judgment? Shouldn’t you be doing everything to avoid this?

Mathew 7:23

“And then I shall declare to them, I never KNEW you, depart from me, you WORK LAWLESSNESS.”

How do we KNOW HIM?

1 John 2:3-4

“And by this we will be sensible that we KNOW HIM, if we keep His commandments. For he that says I KNOW HIM, and does not keep His Commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him.”

Mathew 13:41-42

“The Son of Man will send His Messengers out, and they will pluck from His Kingdom ALL STUMBLING BLOCKS and all workers of LAWLESSNESS. And they will cast them into the FURNANCE OF FIRE (Eternal torment), and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

It is time for Christianity to worship our Father YAHWEH in Spirit and truth; and to turn from the satanic lawless doctrines.

John 4:23

“But the hour is coming, and now is when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, indeed for the Father, He seeks worshippers as these. For ELOHIM is Spirit, and those who worship, they must worship Him in SPIRIT and TRUTH.”

What is the Spirit?

John 16:13

“But when the Spirit of TRUTH comes, He will guide you into truth. For He will not speak from Himself but He will speak everything that He hears. And future things He will make known to you.”

The RUACH HA’KODESH The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth and what is truth?

Psalm 119:142

“Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness and your TORAH IS THE TRUTH.”

YESHUA is saying that the RUACH HA’KODESH will lead you into the truth of the Torah and away the false traditions of men, many people quote this verse without understanding the context of YESHUA’s words.

In the last message titled “Message to ALL Christians” I explained how the Torah is not done away with, it has not been nailed to the cross, and that most believers today are walking in a false religion and speaking evil against the commands of our Father YAHWEH! It grieves me because I know that all people including Christians and Muslims are all supposed to be grafted as citizens of Yisra’el along with the native-born Israelites, but they just do not know their identity and most refuse to know the truth. So, I pray for them all daily and I encourage everyone to pray that the spiritual blindness will be taken off of their eyes before it is too late. It is an identity crisis and they all have been taught lies to keep them from the truth. It is my job to warn everyone before it is too late because hell’s fire is no place that anyone will want to end up. Today is your chance to REPENT and get right with our Father YAHWEH

 I’ll be going over YESHUA being the Torah/Light/Lamp and what it really means when He said He is The Way, The Truth and The Life, the Scriptural definition of Light, and quoting plenty of scriptures that shows what happens to all those who REJECT the Torah, The Shabbat and Laws of YAHWEH! Why am I focusing on the commandments? Because most people already believe in YESHUA and His atonement for sin on the execution, but most refuse to pick up their execution stakes and die to self and die to sin and walk in obedience to the commandments that are eternal. The place they will end up is eternal torment forever, so this is a warning to all those who say, “the law is done away with!” Please, listen to this entire message because this is a serious warning with GREAT DETAILS!

Before I get into the message, I have to explain some background information as why I quote from books that a lot of Christians are not familiar with. As many who are familiar with this channel know that I use the 66 Books canon and also the Apocrypha and Dead Sea Scrolls (Enoch, Jubilees, etc.). So that you aren’t confused with why I’m using these Books we have to look at history. The Apocrypha (14 Books removed) was included in the original 1611 King James Bible, so if you are reading the King James Bible today you have to ask yourself why you aren’t reading these books today? This included 2 Esdras and Baruch that I will be quoting from in this message. These books that were included in the 1611 King James Bible were removed in the 1800’s by a man named Martin Luther because he believed that these books were too Jewish, and that believers are saved by grace alone which is another lie within itself. How can these books be too Jewish? When YESHUA was a Jew? And the whole Bible has Hebrew roots! Do you see the deception? The very words HalleuYAH and Ahmein are Hebrew words yet these words were not removed or hidden. Secondly, the Book of Enoch and Jubilees were discovered in Cave #2 during the Qumran discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls right along with the Old Testament, which shows that all of these books are inspired and written over 2,000 years ago. Do not let anyone deceive you by telling you not to read these books, because they know if you do that you will see further evidence against false doctrine of Christianity and will see what the early church really looked like. Christianity would not even be recognized by our ancestors, to them Christianity would be pagan worship which is true.

Also, Baruch was a scribe to Jeremiah and not a fictitious character which we read in the book of Jeremiah:

Jeremiah 36:4

“So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and while Jeremiah dictated all the words YAHWEH had spoken to him, Baruch wrote them on the scroll.”  

2 Baruch 9:1

“And I, Baruch, came, and Jeremiah, whose heart was found pure of sins, who had not been captured during the seizing of the city. We tore our garments, and wept, and mourned, and fasted seven days.”

And both Ezra and Baruch were taken just like Enoch and Elijah, which should give us enough reason to hear what these righteous men had to say.

Genesis 5:24

“And Enoch was well-pleasing to ELOHIM and was not found because ELOHIM took him.”

2 Esdras 14:49-50

“In the seventh year of the sixth week, five thousand years and three months and twenty-two days after creation. At that time, Ezra was caught up, and taken to the place of those who are like him, after he had written all these things. And he was called the scribe of the knowledge of the Most High forever.”

2 Baruch 76:2

“Because you (Baruch) will surely leave this world, nevertheless NOT UNTO DEATH but unto the preservation of the times…” Baruch 77:12 “Nevertheless, do this for us, your people: write also to our brothers in Babylon a letter of instruction and a book of hope, so that you strengthen them, too, before you no longer walk among us.”

THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE

John 5:47

“And, if you don’t believe the writings of Moses, how will you believe My words?”

YESHUA is saying that if you don’t believe in the written Torah, then how will you ever believe His words the LIVING TORAH? The truth is that you cannot believe His words because YESHUA always referred back to the Torah and the prophets in the old Testament and at no time did He even say anything remotely close to saying the Torah was nailed to the cross. YESHUA simply rebuked the religious leaders of His day the Pharisees for their Oral Torah which contained the tradition of the elders that they placed above the written Torah of YAHWEH!

Mathew 15:8-9

“This people honor me with their lips (Just as Christians do), but their heart is VERY FAR FROM ME. And they revere me in vain, while they TEACH THE DOCTRINES OF THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE SONS OF MEN (Just as Christianity does).”

That is the entire context of what YESHUA did to uphold the truth of the Torah and not the man-made lies that added burdens upon men and how they held it above YAHWEH’s written word. So, when YESHUA said He is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, He wasn’t just saying random idle words, but rather saying He is the Torah and came to bring the true essence of the Torah the way YAHWEH intended for it to be kept. The scriptures below prove this:

THE WAY

Psalm 119:1

“Blessed are the blameless IN THE WAY who walk in the TORAH of YAHWEH.”

Jasher 26:36

“And he (Abraham) brought all the children of the earth to the service of ELOHIM, and he taught them THE WAYS OF YAHWEH (Psalms 119:1) and caused them to KNOW HIM.”

Psalms 103:6-7

“YAHWEH is doing righteousness and right-ruling for all the oppressed. He made known His WAYS to Moses.”

What was given on Mount Sinai to Moses? The commandments written in stone which are the WAYS of YAHWEH and how He expects the citizens of His Kingdom to behave.

2 Esdras 7:22-24

Nevertheless, they were NOT OBEDIENT, and spoke against Him; they devised for themselves vain thoughts, and proposed to themselves wicked frauds; they even declared that the Most High does not exist (atheists), and they IGNORED His WAYS (The commandments which we just defined above As Christianity does today!) They scorned His Law, and denied His covenants; they have been unfaithful to His statues, and have not performed His works.”

THE TRUTH

Psalm 119:142

“Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness and your TORAH IS THE TRUTH.”

2 Baruch 44:14

“They (the righteous) are the ones who have acquired for themselves reservoirs of wisdom and with whom measures of understanding are found. From mercy they have not withdrawn, and they have KEPT the  TRUTH OF THE TORAH.”

THE LIFE

2 Baruch 38:2

“Your TORAH IS LIFE, and your wisdom is uprightness.”

Proverbs 13:14

“The TORAH of the wise is a fountain of LIFE.”

Sadly, Christians are doing the opposite that Enoch writes concerning the fountain of life:

Enoch 96:6

“Woe to you who drink water from every fountain, for suddenly you shall be consumed and wither away, because you have FORSAKEN THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE.”

Christians and most religions of the world today are drinking from every fountain of false doctrine, traditions of men, and paganism and have rejected the fountain of life which Proverbs 13:14 defines as the Torah. As we see those who forsake the Torah will be consumed and wither away.

Deuteronomy 32:46-47

“And he said to them, take heed with your heart to all these words which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your sons to observe and DO ALL THE WORDS OF THIS TORAH. For this no vain word to you; for it is your LIFE and because of this word you shall live long on the land into which you go over the Jordan to inherit it.”

Baruch 4:1-2

“This is the book of the commandments of ELOHIM and the Torah that endures FOREVER: all those that KEEP IT SHALL COME TO LIFE; but those who leave it (saying the law is done away with) shall DIE. Turn of Jacob and take hold of it: walk in the presence of its light, you may be illuminated.”

Proverbs 6:23

“For the commandment of the TORAH is a lamp and a light; a WAY OF LIFE…”

As we can see, when YESHUA said that He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life, He was saying that He is the Written Word that became Living Flesh, He is the Living Torah and since He is the Living Torah, then how is the Torah done away with? Those who follow YESHUA in faith and keep the commandments shall live and those who do not will be thrown into the fire.

.YESHUA is Torah-A LAMP AND A LIGHT

Proverbs 6:23

“For the commandment of the Torah is a LAMP AND A LIGHT; a Way of Life…”

2 Baruch 59:2

“For at that time, the LAMP OF THE ETERNAL TORAH, enlightened all those who sat in the darkness. It will make the promise of their reward known to those who believe, and the torment of fire to those who deny that is preserved for them.”

Psalms 119:105

“Your TORAH IS A LAMP to my feet and LIGHT to my paths.”

John 3:19

“Now this is the judgement: Because the LIGHT (TORAH) has come into the world, and men loved the darkness (NO TORAH) more than the LIGHT (TORAH), for their works are evil.”

Baruch 4:1-2

“This is the book of the commandments of ELOHIM and the Torah that endures FOREVER: all those that keep it shall come to life; but those who leave it shall DIE. Turn of Jacob and take hold of it: walk in the presence of its LIGHT, you may be illuminated.”

Now you can get a better understanding of what YESHUA was saying in John 8 with all the scriptural references to light being the Torah mentioned above, you won’t stumble because the Torah is a light that lights the path and a lamp unto your feet as we just read. YESHUA is The Way!

John 8:1

“Now YESHUA spoke with them again and said, “I am the LIGHT of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness (lawlessness) but he will find the LIGHT OF LIFE for himself.”

The Light is the Torah which is YESHUA and the darkness is the lawless deeds of those who do not want to keep the commandments and their wicked deeds are exposed. And they refuse to come to the Light which is the Torah because they bask in the sinful nature of the flesh to do whatever feels good to them by justifying in their hearts that “the law is done away with.”

One of the biggest commandments that Christians are scared to do is to keep the 7th Day Shabbat which is on Saturday in favor of the 1st day of the week Sunday! You can ask them if they believe in the 10 commandments and they will say “YES! Those are the moral laws” Then when you immediately ask them, well what about the fourth commandment? which says “Remember the Shabbat Day to keep it holy” then that is when all the false justifications are poured out in abundance, so suddenly the 10 Commandments they just agreed exist today have suddenly become the 9 commandments.

What happens to those who break the Shabbat?

Jubilees 2:26-27

“Why do you command the children of Yisra’el to guard this day (Shabbat), that they may keep it holy and not do any work on it, and not defile it? IT IS MORE HOLY THAN ALL THE OTHER DAYS. And whoever profanes it shall surely die, and whoever does any work on it shall SURELY DIE ETERNALLY…”

2 Maccabees 15:1-2

“But Nicanor, hearing that Judah and his company were in the fortresses near Samaria, resolved without any danger to attack on them on the Shabbat. Nevertheless the Jews that were compelled to with him said, Do not destroy so cruelly and barbarously, but give honor to THAT DAY (THE SHABBAT) which He that sees all things (YAHWEH), HAS HONORED WITH SANCTITY ABOVE ALL OTHER DAYS.”

Firstly, we have two witnesses outside of YAHWEH Himself telling us in the 10 commandments that the Shabbat is more holy than all of the other 6 days of the week, so that destroys the Christian theology that all the days are the same, and secondly, anyone who profanes the Shabbat will die eternally which means hell’s fire!

Mathew 7:23

“And then I shall declare to them, I never KNEW you, depart from me, you WORK LAWLESSNESS.”

Luke 11:28

“He (YESHUA) said to her, “Blessed are they who hear the Word of ELOHIM and KEEP IT.”

2 Esdras 7:45

“I (Ezra) answered and said, “O YAHWEH, I said then and I say now: Blessed are those who are alive and keep Your commandments!”

Romans 2:12

“For those without Torah, who sin, will also perish without Torah…”

Those who keep the commandments and sin will at least be judged, but those who outright reject the Torah do not even have a chance, they will perish without the Torah they rejected.

HELL’ FIRE FOR THE TORAHLESS/LAWLESS AND ATHEIST!

2 Peter 2:7-9 (Aramaic English New Testament)

“And also delivered righteous Lot who was tormented with the filthy conduct of the TORAHLESS; for that upright man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing from day to day, was distressed in his righteous soul by their TORAHLESS deeds; Master YAHWEH knows how to rescue from afflictions those who fear him, and He will reserve the wicked (TORAHLESS) for the day of judgment to be TORMENTED.”

2 Esdras 9:11

“And as many as SCORNED (to reject something in a contemptuous way or refused to do something because one is too proud) MY LAW while they still had freedom, and did not understand but DESPISED IT while an opportunity of repentance was still open to them, these must in TORMENT ACKNOWLEDGE ME AFTER DEATH.”

Christianity has rejected the Torah as they scorned and despised it, even though YAHWEH gave them more days of life on the earth to repent while they had freedom in this life to do so, yet they refused to repent and obey His commands, and YAHWEH says they will acknowledge Him and His Torah in eternal flames whether they want to or not after death, so you might as well follow Him now.

2 Esdras 8:56-59

“For they also received freedom, but they despised the Most High, and were contemptuous of HIS LAW, AND FORSOOK HIS WAYS (Psalm 119:1).” Moreover, they have trampled upon His righteous ones (persecuting those who follow Torah), and said in their hearts there is no ELOHIM- though knowing full well that they MUST DIE.” For just as the things which have been predicted await you (eternal life for Ezra), so the THIRST AND TORMENT which are prepared away them (The lawless Christians and atheist). For the Most High did not intend that men should be destroyed.”

Wisdom 1:23-24

“For ELOHIM created man to be immortal and made him to be an image of His own eternity. Nevertheless, through the envy of Satan, death came into the world: and those that TAKE HIS SIDE FIND IT.” (It’s obvious that Lawless Christianity has taken the side of Satan).

. YAHWEH did not create life for man to be destroyed, but rather man makes his own decisions whether to choose life or choose death, to choose a blessing or a curse, sadly many choose to live the life of lies and deceit that Satan has gotten them to believe.

2 Baruch 15:5-6

“It is right that man would not understand my judgement, had he not received the TORAH and I had not instructed him in understanding. Now, however, since he TRANSGRESSED KNOWINGLY, therefore he will also be TORMENTED KNOWINGLY.”

2 Baruch 48:46

“For formerly you commanded the dust that it should give forth Adam, and you know the number of those who were born of him and how they have sinned (transgression of Torah 1 John 3:4) before You, those who existed, and they have not confessed You as their Creator (atheists).

2 Esdras 7:21-24 (Parenthesis mine)

“For ELOHIM strictly commanded those who came into the world (All People), when they came, what they should do to live and what they should observe to avoid punishment (Belief in YESHUA and keeping commandments of Torah). Nevertheless they were NOT OBEDIENT, and spoke against Him; they devised for themselves vain thoughts, and proposed to themselves wicked frauds; they even declared that the Most High does not exist (atheists), and they ignored His ways! They scorned His Law, and denied His covenants; they have been unfaithful to His statues, and have not performed His works”.

Enoch 99:1-3

“Woe to you who work wickedness, and glory in lying and extol them; you shall perish, and shall not have a happy life. Woe to them who pervert the words of uprightness, and transgress the ETERNAL LAW, and transform themselves into what they were not; into sinners. They shall be trodden under foot upon the earth.”

2 Baruch 51:4-6

“For those who will then come will groan even more over this, over the fact that they REJECTED MY TORAH and have stopped their ears so that they would not hear wisdom or receive understanding.” Therefore, when they will see that those, over whom they are now exalted, will then be exalted and esteemed more than they, and that they have all been transformed, these into the splendor of the angels and those into startling apparitions, then at the sight of these shapes they will waste away even more. For first they will see (the esteem of the righteous) and afterward they will go to be TORMENTED.”

2 Baruch 54:14

“Justly do they perish, those who have not LOVED YOUR TORAH, and the TORMENT of judgement receives those who have not subjected themselves to Your power.”

2 Baruch 59:2

“For at that time, the lamp of the eternal Torah enlightened all those who sat in darkness. It will make the promise of their reward known to those who believe, and the TORMENT OF FIRE to those who deny that is preserved for them.”

2 Baruch 52:1-3

‘And I (Baruch) answered and said: “How can they forget? Those for whom the woe is preserved for then? And why, then, do we mourn further over those who die, or why do weep over those who go to Sheol? Let the lamentations be preserved for the beginning of that future TORMENT, and let the tears be laid in place for the coming of that destruction that will then be.”.

2 Baruch 30:4-5

“But the souls of the wicked, while seeing all of these, will then waste away all the more, for they know that their TORMENT has arrived and their ruin has come.”

2 Esdras 7:78-87

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

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

2.      The second way, because they CANNOT now repent and do good that they now may live.

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

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

5.      The fifth way, they shall see how the dwellings of the other souls guarded by messengers (angels) in profound quiet.

6.      The sixth way, that they shall SEE THE TORMENTS COMING UPON THEM FROM NOW ON.”

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

I pray that this is an eye opener to understand what is coming during judgement day. You will either be with our ELOHIM for eternity or in darkness burning in flames for eternity. It’s time to repent world! Come out of religion, come out of false teachings and traditions and stop playing church as if it is a hobby.

Please share this with all who need to hear this, and as always may our Father YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

8th Day Closing Assembly Instructions 2021!

Up to this point we have covered the days and instructions for Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot the Feast of Tabernacles. Immediately following Sukkot on October 13th is the 8th Day Closing Assembly a High-Shabbat, and we are commanded to do no work on that day as well.

Jubilees 32:27-28

“And he (Jacob) celebrated there yet another day, and he slaughtered on that day according to all that he slaughtered on the former days, and called its name ‘Addition,’ (8th Day) for this day was added and the previous days he called ‘The Feast’ (Feast of Tabernacles). And thus it was manifested that it should be, and it is written on the heavenly tablets: why it was revealed to him that he should celebrate it, and add it to seven days of the Feast. And its name was called ‘Addition,’ because it was recorded among the days of the Feast Days, according to the number of the days of the year. And in the night, on the twenty-third of this month, Deborah, Rebecca’s nurse died…”

Feast of Tabernacles starts on the 15th Day of the seventh month and runs until the 21st of the 7th month (October 6th-12th) and the 8th Day Closing Assembly is on the 22nd day of the 7th month (October 13th), We know it’s the seventh month because going back to Jubilees 31:3 it says “And he went up on the 1st of the seventh month to Beth-El) and then Jubilees 32:16 says “And on the second night, on the 22nd day of this month…” which would have been the 8th Day.

YAHWEH commands us in Leviticus 23:34-39 saying:

'Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying, 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month YAHWEH'S Festival of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) begins, and it lasts for seven days. The first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work. For seven days present offerings made to YAHWEH by fire, and on the EIGHTH DAY hold a sacred assembly and present an offering made to YAHWEH by fire. It is the closing assembly; do no regular work.”

YAHWEH continues in verse 39 by saying: 'So beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the crops of the land, celebrate the festival to YAHWEH for seven days; the first day is a day of rest, and the EIGTH DAY (13TH) also is a day of rest.

Numbers 29:35-38

“On the EIGHTH DAY you have an assembly, you DO NO SERVILE WORK, and you shall bring near a burnt offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to YAHWEH: one bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones, their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the Right-Ruling…”

How are we to celebrate this last Holy Day? Scripture doesn't go into great detail about the day, but we are commanded not to work and have a holy gathering. We can again look to how the Israelites celebrated the 8th Day Closing Assembly in the days of Nehemiah when they came back from Babylonian exile.

Nehemiah 8:18:

“And there was very great rejoicing. And day by day, from the first day until the last day, he read from the Book of the Torah of ELOHIM. And they performed the Festival seven days (Sukkot). And on the EIGTH day there was an assembly, according to the Right-Ruling.”

So, during the days of Ezra and Nehemiah they celebrated Sukkot and then on the 8th Day they held an assembly as YAHWEH commanded in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 29. We can also look to 2nd Chronicles 7:8-10 during the time of King Solomon which says:

"So Solomon observed the Festival (Sukkot) at that time for seven days, and all Yisra’el with him-a very great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the wadi of Mitsrayim (Egypt). On the EIGTH day they held an assembly, for they had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the festival for seven days more. On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people to their homes, joyful and glad in heart for the good things YAHWEH had done for David and Solomon and for his people Israel."

1 Kings 8:66

“On the EIGHTH DAY he sent the people away. And they blessed the king, and went to their tents rejoicing and glad of heart for all the goodness that YAHWEH had done for His servant David, and for Yisra’el His people.”

As we can see Solomon and the people were finishing up their rejoicing and celebration of The Festival of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) and then he held an assembly on the eight day in accordance with YAHWEH's command. So, it appears that the 8th Day Closing Assembly is a day to assemble with brothers and sisters and then to unwind after the 7-day celebration of Sukkot and be joyful in heart for all that YAHWEH has done for us.

What is the 8th Day Closing Assembly?

As stated, before there is not a lot of detail about the 8th Closing Assembly outside of a day of rest and a holy gathering. But it could represent the preparation for the marriage Supper of the Lamb and it’s parallel to creation week; of how YAHWEH created all things in 6 days and rested on the 7th, I do not state this as a fact.

 2 Peter 3:8

“But, beloved ones, let not this one be hidden from you: that with YAHWEH one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

Psalms 90:4

“For a thousand years in your sight are as yesterday which is past and as a watch in the night.”

Jubilees 4:29-30

“And at the end of the of the nineteenth jubilee, in the seventh week in the sixth year, Adam died. And all his sons buried him in the land of his creation (Elda), and he was the first to be buried in the earth. And he lacked seventy years of one thousand years (Adam died at 930 years old); for one thousand years are as one day in the witness of the heavens and therefore was it written concerning the tree of knowledge, “On the day that you eat of it you will die.” For this reason he did not complete the YEARS OF THIS DAY; for he died during it.”

 So, could it be that after the 6,000 years of mankind there will be the Shabbat rest in the 7,000th year when YESHUA returns to reign in Jerusalem for 1,000 years? And then in year 8,000th (The 8th Day Closing Assembly) year is eternity? The number 8 represents “New Beginnings” like the 8th Day circumcision of the male and only 8 people surviving after YAHWEH flooded the earth, which would make perfect sense being that eternity is a new beginning of no more pain and no more death and things being restored back to their perfected state.

 Also, the number 8 in the Otiot which is the ancient form of Hebrew is “Het” which is a picture of a tent wall or a fence to protect or surround and also represent life, which could symbolize YAHWEH protecting His people from death giving them eternal life and surrounding them with His presence, love, and goodness that we cannot even fathom. However, Scripture does not give us all the details, but it is interesting to ponder on what YAHWEH’s plan is.

John 7:1-2

“And after this YESHUA was walking in Galilee, for He did not want to walk in Judah, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him. And the Festival of the Jews was near, the Festival of Sukkoth (Feast of Tabernacles).” Then verse 37 reads:

“And on the last Great Day of The Festival (8th Day), YESHUA stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me, and let him who believes in Me drink.”

Let us come to YESHUA and drink for we believe in Him and let the living waters which is the RUACH HA’KODESH (The Holy Spirit) live within us and guide us into all truth as we wait for His return.

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

Sukkot Instructions 2021: The Feast of Tabernacles!

After Yom Kippur is Sukkot the Feast of Tabernacles which occurs on October 6th which is the 15th Day of the 7th Month on YAHWEH’s calendar and is a High Shabbat a (no work day). Sukkot is celebrated for 7 days ending on the October 12th. Then immediately afterwards on October 13th is the 8th Day Closing Assembly a NO WORK DAY, which we will be covering next week ELOHIM willing! So in summary we are to do no work on the 1st Day and the 8th Day because they are Shabbat’s (October 6th and October 13th.)

Most of the world has been deceived into rejecting YAHWEH’s Holy Days for the pagan holidays of this world. It’s no secret that Halloween, Xmas, and Easter are not found in scripture yet the world celebrates them and claim to follow YESHUA! And Sukkot aka The Feast of Tabernacles is no different. The world follows a “Thanksgiving” that takes place in November; they gather together to eat turkey and watch football all day while paying homage to the harvest deities and not YAHWEH!

The true thanksgiving is Sukkot/The Feast of Tabernacles/The Feast of In-gathering which is on the 15th Day of the 7th month; however, Satan has mocked YAHWEH as usual and has the world rejecting YAHWEH’S days with a pagan substitute. There is nothing new under the sun and we can see that Jeroboam mocked YAHWEH’s Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles by making his own day EXACTLY ONE MONTH after YAHWEH’s, so technically most of the world is walking in the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat in which he caused Yisra’el to commit great sins. Get away from the false thanksgiving and follow YAHWEH’s true Thanksgiving, which is Sukkot the Feast of Tabernacles, followers of YESHUA don’t need TWO THANKSGIVINGS, the only one that needs to be celebrated is the one found in the kodesh (holy) scriptures.

1 Kings 12:32

“And Jeroboam performed a FESTIVAL on the FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE EIGHTH MONTH, LIKE THE FESTIVAL THAT WAS IN JUDAH (SUKKOT)FEAST OF TABERNACLES…”

Leviticus 23:34:

'Speak to the children of Yisra’el saying, 'On the FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE SEVENTH MONTH IS THE FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT/Chag HaSukot (Feast of Tabernacles) begins, and it lasts for seven days.

Abraham was the first to celebrate it

Jubilees 16:20-31

“And he built BOOTHS for himself and for his servants on this Festival, and he was the FIRST to celebrate the FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT on the earth. Verse 25-31 “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 (YESHUA) for the everlasting generations, and from him a HOLY SEED, so that it should become like Him who had made all matters (YAHWEH). And he blessed and REJOICED, and he called the name of this Festival the Festival of YAHWEH, a joy acceptable to the Most High El. And we blessed him forever, and all his seed after him throughout all the generations of the earth, because he celebrated this Festival in its season, according to the witness of the tablets of the heavens. For this reason it is ordained on the tablets of the heavens concerning Yisra’el, that they SHOULD CELEBRATE THE FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT SEVEN DAYS WITH JOY (Leviticus 23:40 REJOICE), in the seventh month, acceptable before YAHWEH-a Law FOREVER, throughout their generations every year. And to this there is NO LIMIT OF DAYS; for it is ordained FOREVER regarding Yisra’el that they should celebrate it and DWELL IN BOOTHS, and put wreaths upon their heads, and take leafy branches, and willows of the stream. And Abraham took branches of palm trees, and the fruit of good trees, and every day going round the altar with the branches seven times in the morning, he praised and gave thanks to his ELOHIM for all matters in JOY.”

That is exactly what YAHWEH commands in Leviticus 23:39-42:

On the first day you are to take choice fruit from the trees, and palm trees, twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the stream, and REJOICE before YAHWEH your ELOHIM for seven days. Celebrate this as a festival to YAHWEH for seven days each year-a LAW forever in your generations; celebrate it in the seventh month. Live in booths for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in booths so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt. I am YAHWEH your ELOHIM.”

For those concerned about the native-born passage we have to remember:

Exodus 12:48-49

“And if any proselyte (Convert) 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, no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. There shall be ONE LAW to the native and to the proselyte (convert) coming on you.”

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.”

As I always point out, even though this scripture is about Passover it still applies that a gentile is grafted in just as the native-born Yisra’elite as an original inhabitant of the land; therefore; the same Torah command applies to everyone who says they are followers of YESHUA our Messiah. Once you have accepted YESHUA as your Messiah and Savior then you have become grafted in as ONE with the native-born Israelite; the Hebrew word is “Ger”, the gentile convert. So let us all get into the spirit of this beautiful feast to dwell in booths and rejoice before YAHWEH our Elohim as He commanded us. A few examples:

Isaiah 56:6

“Also the sons of the foreigner (gentile/Christian) who JOIN themselves to YAHWEH, to serve Him, and to love the name of YAHWEH, to be His servants, ALL WHO GUARD MY SHABBATS, and not profane THEM, and hold fast to My Covenant.” The Feast of Tabernacles is a Shabbat that must be guarded by the gentile as well as native-born because we are ONE!

Numbers 15:15-16

“One Law is for you of the assembly and for the stranger who sojourns with you-a LAW FOREVER throughout your generations. AS YOU ARE, SO IS THE STRANGER BEFORE YAHWEH.”

This is very important because we see Abraham kept the commandments of the Torah and celebrated Sukkot, which ties in to what Paul says in:

Galatians 3:27-29

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

If we belong to YESHUA and we are the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise then are you doing as Abraham did? He kept Sukkot and the commandments and this is further confirmed in:

Genesis 26:5

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

Sukkot details:

We are commanded to dwell in a Succah or booth/hut; which is a temporary dwelling topped with foliage, limbs, branches, and other materials to provide shade while living outdoors or even camping out in a tent.

YAHWEH commands us in Leviticus 23:34-44 saying:

'Speak to the children of Yisrael saying, 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month is YAHWEH'S Festival of Sukkot/Chag HaSukot (Feast of Tabernacles) begins, and it lasts for seven days. The first day is a holy gathering; DO NO SERVILE WORK. For seven days present offerings made to YAHWEH by fire, and on the eighth day hold a holy gathering and present an offering made to YAHWEH by fire. It is a closing Festival, YOU DO NO SERVILE WORK.”

YAHWEH continues in verse 39 by saying: 'So beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the crops of the land, celebrate the festival to YAHWEH for seven days; the first day is a day of rest (October 6th), and the eighth day also is a day of rest (October 13th). On the first day you are to take choice fruit from the trees, and palm trees, twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the stream, and rejoice before YAHWEH your ELOHIM for seven days. Celebrate this as a festival to YAHWEH for seven days each year-a LAW forever in your generations; celebrate it in the seventh month. Live in booths for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in booths so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt. I am YAHWEH your ELOHIM.”

There is definitely some significance attached to the palm trees while celebrating Sukkot which we see in Revelation those who overcome:

Revelation 7:9

“And after these things, I looked, and lo, a great multitude which no one could number, from all kindreds and nations and tribes and tongues; who stood before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and PALMS in their hands.”

More on Sukkot:

Mathew 17:1-4

“And after six days YESHUA took Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves, and He was transformed before them, and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as the light. And see, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. And Peter answering, said to YESHUA, “My Master, it is good for us to be here. If You want, let us make here three booths: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

As we see Peter knew the importance of the booth/tabernacle/succah to build for all three of them and remember Elijah was not a native-born Israelite, he was a Tishbite which usually translates as stranger or sojourner. Elijah was special and was a servant of YAHWEH and one of two men who ascended to heaven; and we see Peter did not exclude him from having a booth.

Numbers 29:12-32

“And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month you have a holy gathering, you do NO SERVILE WORK. And you shall celebrate a Festival to YAHWEH seven days, and you shall bring near a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a SWEET FRAGRANCE to YAHWEH: thirteen young bulls, two rams, fourteen lambs a year old, perfect ones they are, and their grain offering: fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenth parts for each of the thirteen bulls, two-tenth parts for each of the two rams, and one-tenth part for each of the fourteen lambs, and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering. (The number of bulls decrease by “one” each day) verse 32 Then on the seventh day: seven bulls, two rams, fourteen lambs a year old, perfect ones…”

YESHUA is the Lamb of YAHWEH who takes away the sins of the world and offered Himself with His blood and not the blood of bulls and goats. It is important to see what YESHUA’s blood did for us that we do not have to do for atonement today. YESHUA fulfills the animal offerings for us with His blood and the sweet fragrance that YAHWEH mentions:

Ephesians 5:2

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

Hosea 12:9

“But I am YAHWEH your ELOHIM since the land of Egypt, again I shall make you dwell in tents as in the days of the Appointed Time.”

Genesis 33:17

“And Jacob departed to Sukkoth (Sukkot), and built himself a house, and made BOOTHS for his livestock. That is why the name of the place is called Sukkoth.”

How are we to celebrate this Feast?

We can look to how the Israelites celebrated Sukkot the Feast of Tabernacles in the days of Nehemiah when they returned from Babylonian exile.

Nehemiah 8:13-18 says:

"On the second day of the month, the heads of all the families, along with the priests and the Levites, gathered around Ezra the scribe, in order to study the words of the Torah. And they found written in the Torah, which YAHWEH had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to live in booths during the feast of the SEVENTH month and that they should proclaim this word and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem: "Go out into the hill country and bring olive branches, branches of oil trees, and myrtle branches, and palm branches and branches of leafy trees to make booths"-as it is written.

So the people went out and brought back branches and built themselves booths on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of ELOHIM and in the square by the Water Gate and the one by the Gate of Ephraim, the whole company that had returned from exile built booths and LIVED in them. From the days of Joshua son on Nun until that day, the Israelites celebrated it like this. And there was very great rejoicing (as commanded). And day by day, from the first day until the last day, he read from the Book of the Torah of ELOHIM. And they performed the Festival seven days. And on the eighth day there was an assembly, according to the Right-Ruling.”

So we see that Abraham and those who came back from Babylonian exile followed the exact came command of Leviticus 23 which is to REJOICE, DWELL IN BOOTHS FOR 7 DAYS, AND TAKE PALM BRANCHES, LEAFY BRANCHES, WILLOWS OF THE STEAM AND BLESS YAHWEH. This is the perfect time to make a huge feast or cookout and eat and rejoice!

Is the Sukkot/Chag HaSukot: The Feast of Tabernacles important?

Yes! Look at Zechariah 14:16-19 which says:

“Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, YAHWEH Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Sukkot/Chag HaSukot (Feast of Tabernacles). If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, YAHWEH Almighty, they will have no rain. If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. YAHWEH will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate The Festival Sukkot the Feast of Tabernacles. This will be the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate Chag HaSukot (Feast of Tabernacles.)”

As we discussed in a prior video titled “Are we rehearsing on earth for what is to come?” We saw that everything we do on earth is a dress rehearsal for the finale and that believers have twisted what Paul was really saying in Colossians 2:16-17! Let no man judge you for KNOWING THE TRUTH! So we see that when YESHUA comes to reign for 1,000 years on the earth that ALL NATIONS including the Egyptian will have to come up to Jerusalem to celebrate The Festival of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) or have no rain. This points exactly to what Paul was saying about the Festivals being “a prophetic shadow of what is to come.” If the entire world will have to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles when YESHUA returns, then how is the law done away with? Or if the law just for the Jews, then why do the ALL NATIONS including the Egyptians having to celebrate it? We know the Egyptians are not native born Israelites/Jews.

John 1:14

“And the Word became flesh and PITCHED HIS TENT among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favor, and truth.”

Just like when you go camping, you have to pitch a tent to dwell in just like we have to pitch a tent/booth/succah to dwell in during Sukkot the Feast of Tabernacles. So we can see the symbolism and importance of this celebration.

Enoch 1:3-4

“Concerning the elect I said, and took up my parable concerning them, “The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling, and the eternal ELOHIM will tread upon the earth, on Mount Sinai, and appear from His CAMP and appear in the strength of His might from the heavens of heavens.”

Again we see the word CAMP that YESHUA will be appearing from, the Scriptures are consistent on this truth.

Revelation 21:3

“And I heard a loud voice from the heavens saying, “See, the BOOTH OF ELOHIM is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and ELOHIM Himself shall be with them and be their ELOHIM.”

Numbers 1:52

“And the children of Yisra’el shall PITCH THEIR TENTS, everyone by his own CAMP, everyone by his own banner, according to their divisions.”

The Feast of Tabernacles is a foreshadow of YESHUA coming to pitch His tent with us and dwell with us! He will be our ELOHIM and we will be His people. So let us make every effort to be obedient and rejoice to the King for seven days, dwell in tents/booths and not working on the first and eighth day, HalleluYAH!

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

Yom Kippur Instructions 2021: The Day of Atonement!

The second of the Fall Appointed Times (Moedim) commanded by YAHWEH is Yom Kippur on October 1st which means it begins on September 30th at sundown to October 1st sundown which is the 10th day of the 7th month in YAHWEH’S eyes and is the Holiest (Kodesh) Day of the year, Yom ha’kippurim (Yom Kippur) The Day of Atonement. Make sure you do NO WORK on this day as it is a Shabbat Shabbaton a day for complete stopping and ceasing from all activity just as the weekly 7th Day Shabbat is a Shabbat Shabbaton. We will be discussing what Yom Kippur is, how we observe Yom Kippur, what is involved in a fast, YESHUA is our High Priest.

The Book of Jubilees shows us why and when Yom Kippur was instituted:

Jubilees 34:12-18

“And the sons of Jacob slaughtered a kid, and dipped the coat of Joseph in blood, and sent it to Jacob their dad on the TENTH DAY OF THE SEVENTH MONTH (YOM KIPPUR). And he mourned all that night, for they had brought it to him in the evening (Leviticus 23:32 evening to evening), and he became feverish with mourning for his death, and he said, “And evil beast has devoured Joseph; and all the members of his house were grieving and mourning with him all that day. And his sons and his daughter rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted for his son. And on that day Bilhah heard that Joseph had perished, and she died mourning him, and she was living in Qafratef, and Dinah also, his daughter died after Joseph had perished. And these THREE MOURNINGS came upon Yisra’el in one month. And they buried Bilhah over against the tomb of Rachel, and Dinah, his daughter, they also buried there. And he mourned for Joseph for one year, and did not cease, for he said, “Let me go down to the grave mourning for my son.” For this reason it is ordained for the children of Yisra’el that they should afflict themselves on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the day that the news which made him weep for Joseph came to Jacob his dad, that they should make atonement for themselves with a young goat on the tenth day of the seventh month, once a year, for their sins; for they had grieved the affection of their dad regarding Joseph his son. And this day has been ordained that they should grieve for their sins, and for all their transgressions and for all their errors, so that they might cleanse themselves on that day once a year.”

YAHWEH commands us in Leviticus 23:26-32 saying:

"The tenth day of this seventh month is Yom ha'Kippurim (ha-kee-pur-eem) the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present an offering made to YAHWEH by fire. DO NO WORK ON THAT DAY, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before YAHWEH your ELOHIM. Anyone who does NOT deny himself on that day must be cut off from his people. I will destroy (karat) (pronounced ka-rot) from among his people anyone who does any work on that day. You shall DO NO WORK AT ALL. This is to be a LAW for the generations to come, wherever you live. It is a SHABBAT (Shabbat Shabbaton) complete rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your SHABBAT."

Leviticus 16:29-34

“And this shall be for you a Law FOREVER: in the seventh month, on the TENTH DAY of the month, you afflict your beings, and do no work, the native or the stranger who sojourns among you (gentiles/Christians). For on that day he makes atonement for you, to cleanse you, to be clean from all your sins before YAHWEH. It is a SHABBAT OF REST (Shabbat Shabbaton) for you, and you shall afflict your beings-a LAW FOREVER. Verse 34 And this shall be for you a LAW FOREVER, to make atonement for the children of Yisra’el, for all their sins, once a year.”

Numbers 29:7-11

“And on the TENTH of this seventh month you have a holy gathering, and you shall afflict your beings, YOU DO NOT WORK. And you shall bring near a burnt offering to YAHWEH, a SWEET FRAGRANCE: one young bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones they are for you, and their grain offering: fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenth parts for the bull, two-tenth parts for the one ram, one-tenth part for each of the seven lambs, one male goat as a sin offering, besides the sin offering for atonement, the continual burnt offering with its grain offering, and their drink offerings.”

YESHUA is the Lamb of YAHWEH who takes away the sins of the world and offered Himself with His blood and not the blood of bulls and goats. It is important to see what YESHUA’s blood did for us, that we do not have to do it for atonement today. YESHUA fulfills the animal offerings for us with His blood and the IS sweet fragrance that YAHWEH mentions that comes from the burnt offering:

Ephesians 5:2

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

So we see that we are to do no work, have a holy gathering, grieve over our sins,  to completely afflict our souls and deny ourselves, which means at least a 24 hour fast of no food or water. We can deny ourselves through fasting because we need food and water to live and in doing so we are denying our being for the day

Anah (ah-nah) - means to bow down or afflict
Nefesh (neh-fesh)-soul or yourself

Example in Psalms 35:13
"I humbled my being (soul) with fasting" I anah my nefesh with fasting.

The same applies for Isaiah 58:3
"Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? Why have we afflicted our beings (anah our nefesh), and You took no note?"

2 Chronicles 20:3-4

“And Yehoshapat was afraid, and turned his face to seek YAHWEH, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah gathered to inquire of YAHWEH, even from all the cities of Judah they came to seek YAHWEH.”

What is involved in a fast?

We firstly deny ourselves by not eating any food or drinking any water, must turn away from our own desires/pleasures and to completely seek YAHWEH’s face and not oppressing others in order to be heard and present an acceptable fast before the face of YAHWEH. Humble yourselves before Him and do justice where there is injustice.

Isaiah 58:2-4

“They seek Me day by day and desire to know My ways, as a people that have done righteousness and have not forsaken judgment of their ELOHIM; they now ask from Me righteous judgment and desire to draw near to ELOHIM, saying Why have we fasted and you have not regarded? Why have we afflicted (anah) our nefesh (souls) and you did not know it? No in the days of your fasts YOU FIND YOUR PLEASURES AND ALL THOSE WHO ARE UNDER YOUR POWER YOU WOUND. If you fast for quarrels and strife and strike the lowly with your fists, why do you fast to Me as you do this day, so that your voice may be heard in crying?”

Before we delve into some of the details about Yom Kippur, that it was a day of fasting  as contained within the Dead Sea Scrolls: The Solar calendar is also confirmed in Habakkuk and a hymn found in the dead scrolls.

YOM    KIPPUR IN   THE QUMRAN SCROLLS AND SECOND TEMPLE SOURCES JOSEPH    M.   BAUMGARTEN Baltimore  Hebrew University:

 One   of  the sharp clashes    between    the Qumran community and   the Temple    priesthood was   the   confrontation between the Wicked    Priest (Pharisees and Sadducees) and   the Righteous

 The priesthood was corrupt and many of the priests were not even Levites as YAHWEH commanded which is why Joseph Baumgarten mentions the “wicked priest” from the righteous priest. Proof of this is found in 2 Maccabees 4 that the position of high priest was being sold to the highest bidder, making them illegitimate priests. Back to the article:

Teacher on   Yom Kippur: Woe to him who causes his neighbors to drink, who pours out his venom to make them drunk  that  he may gaze on  their feasts (Habakkuk 2:15). This  concerns  the Wicked Priest (Sadducees/Pharisees) who pursued the Righteous Teacher to overwhelm him in the fury of his wrath at his house of exile. And at the time appointed for rest, on the Day of  Atonement he  made his appearance before them to  overwhelm them and  to cause them to stumble on the fast day, the sabbath of their rest. (lQpHab 11:4-8) As   scholars have noted, this   confrontation occurred    on   the day when the   followers     of   the   Teacher    were observing the solemn fast  of  Yom Kippur according to  their   schematic     SOLAR   calendar (Zadok Priestly Calendar). It apparently was not   the day when    the   Wicked Priest, presumably a high   priest, was himself occupied with   the performance of  the   Yom Kippur rites   in  the Temple. The description of   this incident     thus served    as one   of   the early clues   about the  calendar schism (split or division between strongly opposed sections or parties, caused by differences in opinion or belief)   that separated the  sect (Essenses)  from   con- temporary    Jewry.'

 As  a  result of this   schism   all  of the  biblical festivals    were regularly observed by the Qumran community on days that   differed    from   those kept by contemporary Jews. (As we see today with the Solar Zadok Preistly Calendar versus the Lunar Calendar).   The phraseology of the Habakkuk lemma, 11'Q'? "in   order to gaze at their   feasts"    would there- fore   lend   itself   to being   applied to any or  all   of  the holidays affected by this   schism. Yet, the   clash   described    in  the pesher occurred partic- ularly on   the   sect's    Yom Kippur. It  is  reasonable     to suppose that   this may have   had something to  do with   the   central place of Yom Kippur in contemporary Judaism, but   the pesher, aside from stressing the I See  S. Talmon, "Yom Hakkippurim in  the  Habakkuk Scroll," Bib  32 (1951) 549-63.

mandated     FAST   and   REST   on   Yom Kippur does not provide any further elaboration. Fortunately, we  have  in  the Hodayot a hymn, possibly attributable    to the Teacher, that   contains    an   allusion    to   the confrontation described in  the pesher.

“I thank you, YAHWEH, for you have illuminated my face through your covenant ... They [the opponents] mislead your  people  by  smoothing them with  words. Preachers of deceit cause them to stray so that they grope without understanding, their deeds are in folly ("1i1J) and despicable ... for they have driven me from my land  as  a  bird  from its nest ... they plot  wickedly against me  to exchange your Torah which you inculcated in my heart for smooth things (to deceive) your people. They withhold the  drink  of knowledge from  the thirsty, but  cause  the thirsty to  drink vinegar in  order to gaze at their  error' to deport themselves foolishly on  their festivals and  to  be caught in their snares. (1QH  12:5-12). “

The   author    of the hymn describes    himself    as  an  exile driven from   his land, just as  the pesher refers   to  the  Teacher    as being in his  "house of exile."    His opponents are  accused    of giving the thirsty   vinegar to  drink in  order   to gaze   upon them as they   deport themselves     in  an unseemly way at  the  time   of  the  festivals. This   is  an  almost   verbatim paraphrase of   Habakkuk 2:15, the   lemma    on   which the pesher account     of   the   Yom Kippur incident    is   based:    "Woe    to   him who    causes    his neighbor to drink; who pours out  his  venom   to  make   them drunk, that   he may   gaze on   their   feasts." The references in   the hymn to "smoothing" and "smooth things" point to  the identification of  the   Teacher's opponents with the "seekers     of   smooth things," the epithet used in the pesharim for   the Pharisees.    The   latter   are apparently charged with misleading the people by  encouraging them   to  desecrate    the somber spirit of penitence (showing sorrow and regret for doing wrong) of  Yom Kippur with   their folly The paradoxical aspect of   Yom Kippur as   a day of fasting and purging of  sin  as  well as  a day of joyous renewal has   its  roots   in bib- lical antiquity..IJn cf. 4Q513 4 4. 3 See J. Milgrom, Leviticus I -16 (AB 3; New York: Doubleday, 1991) 1066.

So, it was understood in the Dead Sea Scrolls community that fasting was a part of afflicting your soul on Yom Kippur.  Next, I would like to cover some examples of what is required during a fast which include weeping, mourning, and fasting, I also would recommend laying in sackcloth as they did in ancient Yisra’el and even putting dust or ashes on our heads to completely humble ourselves. You can get dirt outside or even use ashes from the grill. What is sackcloth? A very coarse, rough fabric woven from flax, hemp, or jute vegetable fibers.

Joel (Yo’el) 2:12

“Yet even now,” declares YAHWEH, “turn to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”

2 Chronicles 34:27

“Because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before ELOHIM when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your garments and wept before Me, I also have heard,” declares YAHWEH.”

2 Baruch 9:1

“And I, Baruch, came and Jeremiah, whose heart was found pure of sins, who had not been captured during the seizing of the city. We tore our garments and wept, and  mourned, and FASTED seven days.”

Esther 4:15-16

“And Esther commanded to reply to Mordekai, “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me, and DO NOT EAT OR DRINK for three days, night or day. I too, and my young women shall fast in the same way, then I shall go to the king, which is against the law. And if I shall perish, I shall perish!”

 As we know their prayers were answered because they did not perish and Esther was able to enter the presence of the king with him sticking out his scepter for her to touch. They humbled and afflicted their souls for 3 days with no food or drink.

Additions to Esther 14:1 (Apocrypha, 1611 King James)

“Queen Esther also, being in fear of death, came to YAHWEH, and laid aside her splendid apparel, and put on garments of anguish and mourning (Sackcloth). And instead of precious ointments, she covered her head with ASHES and dung, and she humbled her body greatly, and all the places of her joy she filled with her torn hair.”

Jeremiah 4:8

“For these things gird yourselves with SACKCLOTH and lament and howl: for the anger of YAHWEH is not turned away from you.”

2 Maccabees 13:10-12

“When Judah learned of this, he commanded the multitude to call on YAHWEH night and day that He would help them now if ever at any other time, being at the point of being removed their Law, from their country and from the holy Temple; and that He would not allow the people that had only just now been a little refreshed, to be in subjection to the blasphemous nations. So when they had all done this together and pleaded for the kindness of ELOHIM with WEEPING AND FASTING and LYING FLAT upon the ground for THREE DAYS (Like Esther 4:15-16), Judah, having encouraged them, commanded they should make themselves ready.”

Job 16:15

“I sewed SACKCLOTH over my skin, and laid my horn in the dust.”

1 Maccabees 3:46-47

“Therefore the Yisra’elites assembled themselves together, and came to Mitspah, opposite Jerusalem; for in Mitspah was the place where they previously prayed in Yisra’el. Then they fasted that day, and put on SACKCLOTH, and threw on ashes on their heads, and tore their garments.”

Judith 4:9-15

“Then every man of Yisra’el cried to ELOHIM with great ardour, and they humbled their beings with great fervency; both they and their wives and their children and their cattle and every stranger and hired man and their servants bought with money, and put SACKCLOTH upon their loins. So every man and woman and the little children and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell before the Temple, and threw ASHES upon their heads, and spread out their SACKCLOTH before the face of YAHWEH; they also put sackcloth around the altar, and cried to the ELOHIM of Yisra’el all with one accord earnestly, that He would not give their children as prey and their wives as spoil and the cities of their inheritance to destruction and the Holy Place to defilement and reproach, and for the nations to rejoice at. So ELOHIM heard their prayers and looked upon their afflictions; FOR THE PEOPLE FASTED MANY DAYS in all Judah and Jerusalem before the Holy Place of YAHWEH ELOHIM.”

Job 42:6

“Therefore I recant and repent in dust and ashes.”

Lamentations 2:10

“The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground, are silent. They have thrown DUST on their heads, they have girded themselves with SACKCLOTH.”

 1 Kings 21:27

“And it came to be, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his garments and put SACKLOTH on his body, and fasted and lay in SACKCLOTH, and went softly.”

1 Chronicles 21:16

“And David lifted his eyes and saw the messenger of YAHWEH standing between earth and the heavens, having in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, wrapped in SACKCLOTH, fell on their faces.”

Nehemiah 9:1

“And on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Yisra’el were assembled with FASTING, AND IN SACKCLOTH, and with earth (dust) on them.”

Mathew 11:21

“Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Beyth Tsaida! Because if the miracles which were done in you had been done in Tsor and Tsidon, they would have REPENTED long ago in SACKCLOTH AND ASHES.”

Jonah 3:4-5

“And Jonah began to go in to the city on the first day’s walk. And he cried out and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown! And the men of Nineveh believed in ELOHIM, and proclaimed A FAST, AND PUT ON SACKCLOTH, from the greatest to the least of them.”

2 Maccabees 10:25-26

“But when he drew near, those that were with Maccabee turned to pray to ELOHIM, and threw DUST on their heads and girded their lions with SACKCLOTH.”

YESHUA is now our High Priest

Most importantly surrounding Yom ha’kippurim is our Messiah YESHUA and how everything points to Him. In ancient times the high priest (kohen ha’gadol) would enter into the Tent of Meeting once a year, behind the veil, into the holy of holies and make atonement for himself, his household, and for the assembly of Yisra’el. He would sprinkle blood on the mercy seat that sat above the Ark of the Covenant (Leviticus 16:14-17). Then the high priest would confess the sins, transgressions, and wickedness of Yisra’el onto the forehead of Azazel (scapegoat) and a fit man would send him into the wilderness with the sins and that goat himself would bear the wickedness of the people. I thought it was interesting to note a connection with the scapegoat bearing the sins himself as YESHUA did for us:

Exodus 12:5

“Let the LAMB be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats.”

Leviticus 16:22

“And the goat shall bear on ITSELF ALL THEIR WICKEDNESS, to a land cut off. Thus he shall send the goat away into the wilderness.”

Isaiah 53:6

“Truly, He has borne our sicknesses and carried our pains. Yet we reckoned Him stricken, smitten by ELOHIM, and afflicted. But He was pierced for transgressions, He was crushed for our WICKEDNESSES. 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 YHWH has laid on HIM THE WICKEDNESS OF US ALL.” The Lamb of YAHWEH that can be taken from the sheep or the goats.

It is just a constant reminder of how everything was a foreshadow of YESHUA being the perfect sacrificial lamb; just like the blood of the perfect lamb spared the children of Yisra’el in Egypt and YAHWEH “Passed Over them” and protected them is the same way the perfect blood of the Lamb of YESHUA saves us and sin and death “Pass Over us”.

YESHUA The High Priest

While atonement was being made; the high priest did all the work and the community of Yisra’el did not need to do anything. YESHUA is High Priest and King in the order of Melech-Tzedek because he was the only other king/priest in scripture:

Genesis 14:18

“And Melech-Tzedek king of Salem brought out loaves and wine and he was the PRIEST of Elyon ELOHIM.”             

Testament of Levi 8:14

“And the third will be called a renewed name, because  KING will arise from 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 of the Most High, of the seed of Abraham.”

Clearly, YESHUA is KING, PRIEST, PROPHET, and everything in one! And outside of Melech-Tzedek there was no other king priest because these are always two separate offices in scripture.

This was a shadow of what was to come with YESHUA who would be the final atonement for us all because He has already done all the work for atonement! We don’t have a human high priest sacrificing animals anymore, plus there is not a Temple in Jerusalem even if anyone wanted to do sacrifices. YESHUA is our High Priest and unlike the human priests He does not have to make a sacrifice for His own sins because He is sinless and He makes continual intercessions for us because unlike humans He does not die, which makes Him a permanent High Priest forever.

Hebrews 7:26-27

“For it was fitting that we should have such a Kohen ha’Gadol (High Priest)-kind, innocent, undefiled, having been separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens, who does not need, as those high priests, to offer up slaughter offerings day by day, first for His own sins and then for those of the people, for this HE did ONCE FOR ALL when He offered up Himself.”

Why is YESHUA from Judah and not tribe of Levi?

Numbers 3:5-12

“And YAHWEH spoke to Moses saying, take the tribe Levi and you shall set them before Aaron the priest and they shall minister to him and shall keep his charges and the charges of the children of Yisra’el before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle. And they shall keep all the furniture of the tabernacle of witness and the charges of the children of Yisra’el as to all the works of the tabernacle. And you shall give the Levi to Aaron and to his sons and priests; they are given as a gift to me from the children of Yisra’el. And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the tabernacle of witness; and they shall keep their charge of priesthood and all things belonging to the altar and within the veil; and the stranger that touches them shall die.”

Jubilees 30:18

“And the seed of Levi was chosen for the priesthood, and to be Levites, that they might minister before YAHWEH (Mashereti Eloheinu is minister of ELOHIM), as we (angels) do, continually, and that Levi and his sons may be blessed forever…”

Jubilees 32:9

“And Levi served as priest at Beth-El before Jacob his dad apart from his ten brothers, and he was a priest there, and Jacob gave his vow.”

Testament of Levi 5:1-2

“And the messenger opened the gates of heaven to me, and I saw the holy Temple, and the Most High sitting upon a throne of esteem. And He said to me, “Levi, I have given you the blessings of the priesthood UNTIL I COME AND SOJOURN IN THE MIDST OF YISRA’EL.” That is a prophecy of YESHUA  becoming High Priest and the New Priesthood which is spoken about in Testament of Levi 8:

Testament of Levi 8:14

“And the third will be called a renewed name, because  KING will arise from 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 of the Most High, of the seed of Abraham.”

Many are confused when it comes to the Book of Hebrews and they feel like the entire law changed. All that changed was the Levitical priesthood from the Levites who were humans that died and sinned to YESHUA from the Tribe of Judah who is sinless and does not die. Aaron and his sons were born into the priesthood by bodily descent, but that had to change in order for YESHUA to fulfill that role for us. In no way is the Torah done away with.

 Micah 5:2

“But you, Beyth Lehem Ephrathah, you who are little among the clans of JUDAH,, out of you shall come forth to Me the One to become Ruler in Yisra’el. And His comings forth are old, from everlasting.

 1 Chronicles 28:4

“Yet YAHWEH Elohim of Yisra’el chose me above all the house of my father to be sovereign over Yisra’el forever, for He has chosen JUDAH TO BE THE RULER.”

People when then point to Hebrews 8:7 and verse 13 to say the law is done away with:

“For if that first had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.” Verse 13 “By saying ‘renewed,’ He has made the first old. Now what becomes old and growing aged is near disappearing.”

YAHWEH has chosen Judah to be The Ruler out of all the 12 Tribes which is why YESHUA came from Judah and not the Tribe of Levi a tribe that Moses never spoke of concerning the altar. Remember YESHUA was born a Jew (Yehudi) and died King of The Jews (Yehudim). Which is also why there was the change of The Levitical Priesthood, because YESHUA became our High Priest (Kohen ha’Gadol) in the order of Melech-Tzedek the only other king priest of Salem which I explained above. So the law was never done away with it was just a change in Priesthood. YESHUA is the Mediator of the New Covenant, He doesn’t have to make continual sacrifices for His sin because He was sinless, and unlike human high priest YESHUA doesn’t die that’s why the first became old and was renewed, not done away with. (Hebrews 7:27).

Hebrews 7:13-15

“For He of whom this is said belongs to another tribe, from which no one had attended at the altar. For it is perfectly clear that our Master arose from Judah, a tribe about which Moses never spoke of concerning the priesthood, and this is clearer still, if another Priest arises in the likeness of Melech-Tzedek.”  

As we see the Priests from the tribe of Levi are the ones who attended at the altar, but YESHUA rose from another tribe which was Judah, which makes His atonement so crucial because the Levites served many functions in the House of YHWH.

YESHUA can relate with humanity

He is ELOHIM The Son yet completely human having come in the flesh and was tempted in every way just as we are, but yet was without sin.

Hebrews 4:15-16

“For we do not have a Kohen ha’Gadol (High Priest) unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who was tried in all respects as we are, apart from sin. Therefore, let us come boldly to the throne of favor, in order to receive compassion, and find favor for timely help.”

1 John 2:1-2 says:

"My little children, I write this to you, so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Intercessor with the Father, YESHUA HA’MASHIACH, a righteous One. And He Himself is an atoning offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world.”
 

YESHUA being ELOHIM the Son gave up His authority as King and humbled Himself to die for us. That is love and we need to follow that example by giving up ourselves and denying our existence and follow our Master YESHUA's example. Yom Kippur teaches us to die to self, deny ourselves, afflict our souls, weep, mourn and live for Him.

As we remember to deny, humble, and afflict ourselves during Yom ha’Kippurim let us use YESHUA our Messiah as the perfect example of how He completely denied His own existence for our sake when He said in

Mathew 26:39

"My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from Me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."

YESHUA died so that we may live and freed us from the law of sin and death, by breaking the chains of Satan so that we do not have to suffer eternal torment! YAHWEH poured out His wrath upon His Son so that we do not have to face what we are deserving of. We have been redeemed by His blood, so let us put our lives and fleshy desires to the side and do our Father YAHWEH's will and be obedient in our walk with YESHUA, HalleluYAH!

1 John 4:9-10:

"By this the love of YAHWEH was manifested in us, that YAHWEH has sent His only brought-forth Son into the world, in order that we might live through Him. In this love, not that we loved YAHWEH, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning offering for our sins."

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

Yom Teruah (Trumpets) Instructions 2021!

We are now entering the season of all the Fall Moedim (Mo-ed-deem) which means Appointed times, which are Feasts/Fasts that YAHWEH ELOHIM commanded us to observe each year.

September 22nd is Yom Teruah (Evening of September 21st to evening of 22nd).

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

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

As mentioned above the first Holy Day is Yom Teruah/Trumpets which means “The Day of Shouting” is on September 22nd which is equivalent to the 1st day of the 7th month in YAHWEH’s eyes on the Zadok Priestly Calendar found in Enoch, Jubilees, and the Aramaic Levi Document. Judaism calls this day “Rosh Hashanah” which means “Head of the year” or the “Jewish New Year” and this is false! Our New Year began in the spring during Passover when things are renewed and coming back to life, not in the fall when things like the leaves of the trees are starting to die. Judaism does things backwards most of the time and we need to flee from these man-made traditions aka the “tradition of the elders.”

Rosh Hashanah has ties to paganism that was learned in Babylonian exile and was started to be practiced amongst some in the 2nd Temple period. The Babylonians took their New Year’s Day celebrations seriously and called them Akitu and Resh Shattiim, which is the Akkadian form of the Hebrew Rosh Hashanah, and Rosh Hashanah is found nowhere in scripture because they borrowed it from pagans.

Exodus 12:1-2

“And YAHWEH spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying. This month (Abib) shall be to you the BEGINNING OF MONTHS: It is the FIRST to you among the months of the year.”

So again, spring is the beginning of the year for us when Passover was instituted and not Rosh Hoshana in the fall. That is why we should stick to what the day is called in scripture which is Yom Teruah and not Rosh Hashana.

The Scriptural Command:

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

"Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying, 'In the SEVENTH MONTH (Ethanim), on the FIRST DAY of the month, you have a REST, a REMEMBRANCE OF BLOWING THE TRUMPETS, a holy gathering.” You DO NO SERVILE WORK, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to YAHWEH.”

Numbers 10:10

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

Psalms 81:3

“Blow the SHOFAR (RAM’S HORN #H7782) at the New Month in the glorious day of your feast.”

This makes a lot of sense because Yom Teruah is on 1st day of the month which is the beginning of the 7th month AND it’s an Appointed Time and we will be blowing trumpets/shofars, which matches what YAHWEH said in Numbers 10:10 and Psalms 83, it’s a double celebration of blowing the shofar for the beginning of the month and again for it being Yom Teruah which falls on the beginning of the month.

So, we are commanded not to work, to have a holy gathering, and to blow the trumpets/shofar on this day. We are allowed to prepare food for the celebration and that is all you may do, being that it is a High-Shabbat and not a Shabbat Shabbaton such as the weekly 7th Day Sabbath or Yom Kippur which is a fasting day. Similarly, to how cooking is all we can do on Feast of Unleavened Bread which occurs after Passover which is a High-Shabbat.

Nehemiah 8:1-3

“And the SEVENTH MONTH arrived and the children of Yisra’el were settled in their cities; and all the people were gathered as one man to the broad place before the water gate and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the Torah of Moses, which YAHWEH commanded Yisra’el. So, Ezra the priest brought the Torah before the congregation both of men and women and everyone who had understanding was present to listen on the FIRST DAY OF THE SEVENTH MONTH (YOM TERUAH). And he read in it from the time of sunrise to the middle of the day before the men and the women; and they understood it and the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Torah.”

Jubilees 31:3            

“And he (Jacob) went up on the FIRST of the SEVENTH MONTH to Beth-El. And he built an altar at the place where he had slept (Genesis 28), and he set up a pillar there, and he sent word to his dad Isaac to come to him to his slaughtering, and to his mother Rebecca.”

Jacob sets up altar on 1st day of 7th month, that he swore to do in Genesis 28 when YAHWEH appeared to him when he fled from Esaw and was on his way down to Laban’s house.

Numbers 29:1-6

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

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

Ephesians 5:2

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

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

Romans 12:1

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

1 Peter 2:4-5

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

SHOUTING (TERUAH) ON THE DAY OF SHOUTING

As we defined in the introduction that Teruah means a shout or blast of war, alarm, joy, battle cry, blowing, blowing trumpets, joyful sound, resounding, shout, shout of alarm, shout of joy, shouted, shouting, shouts of joy, signal, or trumpet blast. The reason for shouting has a role in YAHWEH’s plan for His people and we some examples of this in scripture:

Joshua 6:5-6:

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

1 Samuel 4:5-6 says:

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

Shofar/Trumpet blasts in scripture:

Isaiah 27:12-13

“And it shall come to pass in that day that YAHWEH shall fence men off from the channel of the river as for as Egypt; but gather one by one the children of Yisra’el. And it shall come to pass in that day that they shall blow the great SHOFAR/RAM’S HORN (#H7782) and the lost ones in the land of Assyria shall come and the lost ones in Egypt and shall worship YAHWEH on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.”

Joshua 6:5-6:

"And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the SHOFAR/RAM’S HORN, and when you hear the sound of the horn…”

Judges 3:27

“And it came to pass when Ehud came into the land of Yisra’el, that he BLEW THE SHOFAR/RAM’S HORN in mount Ephraim and the children of Yisrael came down with him from the mountain and he was before them.”

2 Chronicles 5:12-13

“That all the psalm-singing Levi assigned to the sons of Asaf, to Heiman, to Yidutan and to his sons and to his brothers, of those who were clothed in linen garments, with cymbals and lutes (a plucked instrument related to a guitar) and harps, were standing before the altar and with them 120 priests blowing trumpets. And there was one voice in the trumpeting and in the psalm singing and in the loud utterance with one voice to give thanks and praise YAHWEH; for it is good, for His mercy endures forever…”

2 Chronicles 13:14-15

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

Nehemiah 4:18-20

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

Trumpet blasts when YESHUA returns:

We do not know the day or the hour of YESHUA’s return; however, I would just like to point out the connection with the trumpets when He does.

Mathew 24:31

“And He shall send his angels with the GREAT TRUMPET, and they shall gather the chosen who are His from the four winds and from the ends of the heaven.”

1 Thessalonians 4:16 (includes both shouting and trumpet)

“Because the Master Himself shall come down from the heavens with a SHOUT, with voice of a chief messenger, and with the TRUMPET of ELOHIM, and the dead in MASHIACH shall rise first.”

Paul mentions both shouting and the blowing of the trumpet on the day YESHUA returns, and both of those elements are a part of our Yom Teruah celebration, HalleluYAH!

There are four primary types of shofar blasts:

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

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

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

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

Our Father YAHWEH has given us Kingdom behavior to act out on earth as it is in heaven, just as we see the shofar blast being heard on the mountain.

Exodus 19:16-17

“And it came to pass on the third day as the morning drew near, there were voices and lightning and a dark cloud on Mount Sinai: the voice of the RAMS HORN/SHOFAR sounded loud and all the people in the camp trembled. And Moses led the people forth out of the camp to meet ELOHIM and they stood by under the camp.”

Let us SHOUT (TERUAH) and blow our trumpets/shofar on this day and make NOISE and give to YAHWEH. It’s the first moed (appointed time) of the fall AND it’s the first day of the first month, let us rejoice!

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

Message to ALL CHRISTIANS!

Proverbs 28:9

“He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer is an ABOMINATION.”

Yes, Christians this is a powerful scripture that you must take heed to. If you turn away from the Torah which includes the 7th Day Sabbath on Saturday, the dietary laws in Leviticus 11, the Holy Days found in Leviticus 23 (Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Shavuot/Pentecost, Yom Teruah/Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and Feast of Tabernacles, then your prayers are an abomination! Why would this be? Because you are walking in rebellion to the guidelines and instructions of our Father YAHWEH!

This is a message and warning to Christian churches to wake up and see the truth as time is running out. The biggest problem is that Christians say The Torah which they call the Law is done away with. The Torah is YAHWEH’s guidelines and instructions of how we should lives and it all constitutes love, how to love Him and how to love our neighbor as ourself.

 One example is that Christianity says that YESHUA did not keep the Shabbat on the 7th Day! How can this be? Wouldn’t YESHUA have to be keeping the Shabbat in order to have been accused of breaking it? We have to look at scripture in it’s context to know that YESHUA rebuked the Pharisee’s for THEIR version of the Shabbat with their added traditions that are not found in the Torah and making it a burden upon men, YESHUA rebuked them for the “traditions of the elders” man-made laws that they placed above the written Torah of YAHWEH! And there is no escaping this scripture:

Mathew 5:17-18

“Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete. For truly, I say to you, till the heavens and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.”

Christians will then replace the world complete or fulfill with destroy or abolish which does not make sense. The scripture when then read “I did not come to abolish/destroy the Torah but abolish/destroy it.” That does not even make sense. Furthermore, YESHUA says until heaven and earth pass away none of the Torah abolished, and we know that heaven and earth don’t pass away until:

Revelation 21:1-2

“And I saw a renewed heaven and a renewed earth, for the former heavens and the former earth has passed away, and the sea is no more. And I, John, saw the holy city, renewed Jerusalem, coming down out of the heavens from ELOHIM, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”

The heavens and earth have not passed away, nor has the New Jerusalem come down out of the heavens; therefore, the Torah and commandments REMAIN and must be kept.

We will be discussing are you a slave to sin or righteousness? What is righteousness? Will ELOHIM leave Christians in the plagues? What is the Way of YAHWEH? All righteous men performed works! And it’s about faith and works and being a doer of the word and not a hearer!

Are you a slave to sin or slave to righteousness?

James 1:25

“But he that looked into the PERECT TORAH, that of FREEDOM, and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing.”

Psalms 19:7

“The Torah of YAHWEH is PERFECT, bringing back the being; The Witness of YAHWEH is trustworthy, making wise the simple…”

Christians say that the commandments are bondage and legalism, yet James says that the Torah is freedom, and both David and James agree that the Torah is PERFECT! Are we to believe David who was king in Yisra’el, a man after YAHWEH’s own heart, and the bloodline that YESHUA came through? And James the half-brother of YESHUA and head of the Jerusalem Council? Or are we to believe the modern Christian pastors who are viewing scripture through the westernized mindset and not the Hebraic mindset? The answer should be obvious!

How does the bible define sin?

1 John 3:4

“Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness (transgression of Torah), and sin is lawlessness.”

So how can the law be done away with when the Biblical definition of sin is breaking the commandments of the Torah? Every time you sin you have broken a command of our Father YAHWEH. Now doesn’t it make sense when YESHUA says

Mathew 7:23

“And then I shall declare to them, I never KNEW you, depart from me, you WORK LAWLESSNESS.”

These are believers that YESHUA is talking to because we know that atheists or any type of non-believer is not casting out demons, prophesying or doing works in YESHUA’s Name, yet YESHUA tells these believers to depart, because they were LAWLESS because they break the Torah which is the Biblical definition of sin by saying “It has been done away with!”

If sin is defined as breaking the commandments of Torah, then what are the wages of sin?

Romans 6:23

“For the wages of sin is DEATH, but the favorable gift of ELOHIM is everlasting life in Messiah YESHUA our Master.”

Now armed with the Biblical definition of sin you can now get a better understanding of what is being said when sin is referenced in scripture.

John 8:34

“YESHUA answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone doing SIN is a servant of sin.”

A servant is not greater than his Master, so it’s only logical to know that Paul would agree with his Master YESHUA’s statements!

Romans 6:16

“Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom you obey, whether of SIN TO DEATH, or of obedience to righteousness?”

Being a slave to sin by breaking the commandments of Torah leads to death which will be lake of fire!

Romans 6:1-2

“What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in SIN (breaking commandments of Torah), to let favor (grace) increase? Let it not be! How shall we who died to SIN still live in it?

Paul is saying the exact opposite of what Christianity teaches in this scripture. Paul says you cannot continue being lawless to be saved by grace! The definition of grace literally means UNMERITED FAVOR! This means you did not earn it, you did not deserve it, but it was simply out of the love of our Father YAHWEH that He sent His Son to die, so that we may live! So how can you take something you did not earn or deserve and use that as a ticket to sin all you like and then inherit eternal life? Let it not be! Now that YESHUA gave Himself up for us, we are to strive to leave righteous lives by being obedient to His commandments out of love and knowing Him. In other words you need to be trying harder not trying less, ELOHIM expects more out of us!

Sirach 5:4-6

“Do not say, “I have sinned, and what harm has befallen me? For YAHWEH is patient, He shall by no means let you go. Concerning atonement, do not be without reverence to add sin unto sin; and not say, “His kindness is great; He shall be appeased for the multitude of my sins.” For kindness and wrath come from Him, and His wrath rests upon sinners.”

This scripture paints the picture of Christianity, they say they can continue in sin by being lawless and nothing will befall them because YAHWEH sees YESHUA’s blood and not us. So “do as thou wilt.” They believe that YAHWEH is appeased with the many sins and continue to add sin unto sin which means they have no fear of YAHWEH and they feel YAHWEH is so kind that He will forgive all. YAHWEH does forgive and He is patient wanting you to come to repentance and come to the truth, not to live a lawless life and then expect the eternal reward!

Jubilees 30:21-22

“All this account I have written for you, and have commanded you to say to the children of Yisra’el, that they should not commit sin nor transgress the judgements nor break the covenant which has been ordained for them, but that they should fulfill it and be recorded as FRIENDS. But if they transgress and work uncleanness in every way, they will be recorded on the heavenly tablets as ADVERSARIES (Satan means adversary), and they will be blotted out of the book of life, and they will be recorded in the book of those who will be destroyed, and with those who will be uprooted from the earth.”

Ask yourself, do you want to be counted as a friend to YAHWEH and inherit eternal life? Or do you want to be counted as an adversary which Satan is and have your named blotted out of the book life? The answer should be obvious, but the only way to avoid eternal torment is to accept YESHUA and keep the commandments.

1 John 4:9-10

“By this the love of YAHWEH was manifested in us, that YAHWEH has sent His only begotten Son into the world, in order that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved YAHWEH, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning offering for our sins.”

1 John 3:8-9

“The one doing SIN is of the devil, because the devil has SINNED from the beginning. For the purpose the Son of YAHWEH was manifested: to destroy the works of the devil. Everyone having been born of ELOHIM does not sin, because His seed stays in him, and he is powerless to sin, because he has been born of ELOHIM.” Which also ties in with 1 John 2:29 which is the opposite of sin and will be covered in the next section.

Since the wages of sin is death and ALL of us have sinned against a holy ELOHIM, YAHWEH sent His Son YESHUA to die for us and bear the wrath of our sins that we deserved and wiped the slate clean. So, being that He traded places with us for breaking His Commandments, do we go on continuing to break them and be lawless? YESHUA has set us free from being slaves to sin to being slaves to righteousness.

Hebrews 10:26-31 (Parenthesis mine)

“For if we SIN PURPOSELY (As Christianity purposely disregards the commandments) after we have received the knowledge of the truth (everyone has been told the law is not done away with), there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins, but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the opponents. Anyone who has DISREGARDED THE TORAH of Moses dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment do you think shall he deserve who has trampled the Son of YAHWEH underfoot, counted the blood of the Covenant by which he was sanctified as common, and insulted the Spirit of favor. For we know Him who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says YAHWEH.” And again, “YAHWEH shall judge His people.” It is fearsome to fall into the hands of the living ELOHIM.”

How does the Bible define righteousness?

Deuteronomy 6:24-25

“And YAHWEH commanded us to DO (action) all these Laws, to revere YAHWEH our ELOHIM, for our good always, to keep us alive, as it is today. And it is RIGHTEOUSNESS for us when we GUARD to DO all these Commands before YAHWEH our ELOHIM, as He has commanded us.”

This one passage alone from YAHWEH Himself flies in the face of what Christianity teaches. They say there is no work for the believer to do because they feel they you are trying to earn salvation through works. Not true! The commandments are how we KNOW AND LOVE YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA and shows us righteous behavior, the ways of YAHWEH! We are only saved by YESHUA’s atonement for our sins in His blood, but He doesn’t want you to be LAWLESS like Satan is either. Just as Paul and James both said its faith and works, do not be a hearer of the Torah but a DOER.

Galatians 3:24

“Therefore the Torah became our trainer unto Messiah, in order to be declared right by faith.”

The Torah trains us up in the ways of righteousness in order to be given over to the Living Torah YESHUA, to walk in His Ways just as He did; and to show us the true essence of Torah the way YAHWEH intended for it to be and not the way the Pharisee’s taught it; and to declared right by faith in Him that we will be resurrected unto eternal life as He promised in John 6:40. No one who is trained in something disregards the training they received, rather they maintain the training and continue to grow in it, Everything points us to the sinless YESHUA. So, belief in YESHUA the Living Torah and obedience to the Torah is our GOAL to righteousness and Paul writes in Romans 10:4, it’s not the end of the law. The word used in Greek for “end” is Telos which means “goal.”.

1 John 2:29

“If you know that He (YESHUA) is RIGHTEOUS, you know that everyone DOING (action) RIGHTEOUSNESS has been born of Him.”

Acts 10:34-35

“And opening his mouth, Peter said, “Truly I see that ELOHIM shows no partiality, but in every nation, he who reveres Him and WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS is accepted by Him.”

So John is saying that anyone who DOES righteousness is born of YESHUA! And Peter said everyone nation who reveres YAHWEH and WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS. WORKING AND DOING are ACTION words! So in order to WORK and DO righteousness means there is action required on the part of the believer of keeping the commandments of the Torah.

Genesis 18:19

“For I have KNOWN him (Abraham), so that he commands his children and his household after him, to guard THE WAY OF YAHWEH, TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS, and RIGHT-RULING..”

Jubilees 20:1-2

“And in the forty-second Jubilee, in the first year of the seventh week, Abraham called Ishmael, his twelve sons, and Isaac and his two sons (Esau and Jacob), and the six sons of Keturah, and their sons. And he commanded them that they should observe THE WAY OF YAHWEH; that they should WORK RIGHTEOUSNESS, and each love his neighbor, and act in this manner among all men; that they should each so walk with regard to them as to do RIGHT-RULING and RIGHTEOUSNESS on the earth.”.

The Way of YAHWEH

Psalms 103:6-7

“YAHWEH is doing righteousness and right-ruling for all the oppressed. He made known His WAYS to Moses.”

Psalms 119:1

“Blessed are the perfect in THE WAY, who walk in the Torah of YAHWEH!”

So YAHWEH revealed His Ways to Moses which we know is the Torah or the Law as Christians say, and The Way of YAHWEH is the commandments which Christianity speaks evil of. Do you see how this can get many in trouble with YESHUA on judgement day for speaking evil of what He has made good? Peter said this would happen:

2 Peter 2:1-3 (Parenthesis mine)

“But there also came to be false prophets among the people as also among you there shall be false teachers (those teaching lawless Christianity), who shall secretly bring in destructive heresies (opinion, doctrine, or practice contrary to the truth) and deny the Master who bought them (rejecting the ways of our King by doing so), brining swift destruction on themselves. And many shall follow their destructive ways (As 99.9% of the world aka the Christians churches have done), because whom the WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF (Saying the Torah is a curse, legalistic, bondage), and in greed, with fabricated words, they shall use you for gain (Like lawless Christianity and prosperity teachers.)

Wake up Christian churches and realize you need the blood of YESHUA to save you and keeping His commandments. The Christian pastors have taught their churches that the commandments of YAHWEH are a curse, legalistic, and bondage. Did you know that by doing so you have just spoken EVIL of the character of YAHWEH since He is the One who gave it?

 I’ve said in previous messages that ALL believers are supposed to be citizens of Yisra’el and that is native-born with gentiles grafted in through belief in YESHUA, but the problem is that the Christian churches do not know their identity because the many lives of “Replacement theology” that the church as replaced Yisra’el as YAHWEH’s chosen people and that is a complete lie!

Genesis 18:19

“For I have KNOWN him (Abraham), so that he commands his children and his household after him, to guard THE WAY OF YAHWEH, TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS, and RIGHT-RULING..”

Mathew 11:29

“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your beings. For My yoke is gentle and My burden is light.”

The yoke YESHUA is referring to is the Torah and obedience to it and He is saying to learn from Him because He is the Written Word that became Living Flesh! In those days when ploughing a field they would pair an older experienced ox with a younger inexperienced ox, and that younger inexperienced ox would learn from the older experienced ox, and that is how the Israelites viewed ELOHIM. We are the younger inexperienced ox learning from YESHUA and His Ways. YESHUA also says His burden is light, the Torah is not a burden as we read from John:

1 John 5:3

“For this is the love for YAHWEH, that we guard His Commands, and His Commands are not BURDENSOM (HEAVY).”

Deuteronomy 30:10-11

“If you obey the voice of YAHWEH your ELOHIM, to guard His Commands and His Laws which are written in this Book of the Torah, if you turn back to YAHWEH your ELOHIM with all your heart and with all your being. For this Command which I am commanding you today, it is NOT TOO HARD FOR YOU, NOR IS IT FAR OFF.” As YESHUA said my burden is light, which matches what Moses said, is that the commandments are not too hard for you!

John 8:31

“So YESHUA said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you stay in My Word, you are truly My disciples.”

The only way to truly be a disciple of YESHUA is to obey the commandments! YESHUA is doing the heavy lifting as we learn from His Ways and you just need to follow suite and learn to walk as He walked.

1 John 2:6

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

Which means YESHUA kept the Torah and is the true essence of the Torah, because He is the Living Torah and He set the example for how we should walk in obedience to the Torah, and if you claim to follow Him, then you have to walk in obedience just as He did.

All men of Scripture had work to do! Action is required with faith!

 Even Adam before he fell was told to till and guard the garden, he didn’t just sit back and do nothing as a lot of Christians want to do, by laying everything on YESHUA’s blood alone, we are to die to self and die to sin as He died on the execution stake for us!

Genesis 2:5

“Now no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for YAHWEH ELOHIM had not sent rain on the earth, and there was NO MAN TO TILL THE GROUND.” Verse 15 “And YAHWEH ELOHIM took the man and put him in the garden to Eden to WORK IT AND GUARD IT.”

What was he working? Tilling the ground! What was he guarding? From animals! (Notice how tilling and guarding our both ACTIONS?)

Jubilees 3:16

“And he tilled the garden, and was naked and was not aware of it, and was not ashamed, and he PROTECTED the garden from the birds and beasts and cattle and gathered its fruit, and ate, and put aside the remainder for himself and for his wife.”

Moses had the faith that YAHWEH would part the Red Sea, but he had to stand before the sea and wave the rod of ELOHIM over it, not just stand there and watch YAHWEH do it all. Even though YAHWEH is in control, He is showing that man has his role to play in the physical realm as He does the miracle in the spiritual realm.

Exodus 14:15-16

“And YAHWEH said to Moses, why do you cry to Me? Speak to the children of Yisrael and let them go forward. And you, LIFT UP YOUR ROD, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and let the children of Yisra’el go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.’ Verse 21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. And YAHWEH caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.”

Another example of Moses having a part to play in the physical realm while YAHWEH provides the miracle or victory in the spiritual realm is:

Exodus 17:9-13

“And Moses said to Joshua, ‘Choose for us men and go out, fight with Amaleq. Tomorrow I am stationing myself on the top of the hill with the rod of ELOHIM in my hand.” And Joshua did as Moses said to him, to fight with Amaleq. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to be, when Moses HELD UP HIS HAND, that Yisra’el prevailed. And when he LET DOWN his hands Amaleq prevailed. But Moses’s hands were heavy, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN. And Joshua defeated Amaleq and his people with the edge of the sword.”

Noah had to build the ark

YAHWEH told Noah that He was going to destroy all flesh because of the sins of the world and the fallen angels going into the daughters of men. However, YAHWEH didn’t just snap His fingers to make an ark appear, although He could have! However, He chose to have Noah build the ark, which again shows men have to work to do and action to accompany their faith.

Genesis 6:14-17

“Make yourself an ark of gopher-wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with tar. And this is how you are to make it: The length of the ark is three hundred ammah, its width fifty ammah, and its height thirty ammah. Make a window for the ark, and complete it to an ammah from above. And put the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks.”

Hebrews 11:7

“By BELIEF (FAITH), Noah having been warned of what was yet unseen, having feared, PREPARED AN ARK (WORKS/ACTION) to save his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to BELIEF.”

It's faith and works, being a doer not a hearer!

John 14:21

“He who possesses My Commands and GUARDS THEM, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest Myself to him.”

If you love our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA you will guard His commands! These are action words, in other words don’t talk with your lips, but show Him through your actions that you love Him because lip service means nothing!

Mathew 15:8-9

“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.”

If you are married and you tell your spouse that you love them with your lips and immediately walk out of the house and have orgies, did you just show your spouse that you loved them through your actions? Your actions showed that you don’t love them regardless of the flowers that came out of your mouth when you spoke, and YESHUA is saying the same thing.

Romans 2:13

“For not the HEARERS of the Torah are righteous in the sight of ELOHIM, but the DOERS of the Torah shall be declared right.”

James 1:22-25

“And become DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS only, DECEIVING YOURSELVES. Because if anyone is a HEARER of the Word and NOT A DOER, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. But he that looked into the PERFECT TORAH, that of FREEDOM, and CONTINUES IN IT, not becoming a HEARER that forgets, but DOER OF WORK, this one shall be blessed in his doing.”

Joel 2:11

“And YAHWEH shall give forth His voice before His army, for His camp is very great, for mighty is the DOER OF HIS WORD. For the day of YAHWEH is great and very awesome, and who can bear it?”

Revelation 14:12

“Here is the endurance of the saints, here are those GUARDING THE COMMANDS OF YAHWEH, and BELIEF/FAITH of YESHUA.”

2 Esdras 7:24 YHWH says

“But they have despised His Torah, and denied His Covenants; they have not been trustworthy in His Laws, and have NOT PERFORMED HIS WORKS.”

James 2:20-22

“But do you want to know, O foolish man, that the BELIEF (FAITH) WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD? Was not Abraham our ancestor declared right by WORKS when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that the BELIEF (FAITH) was working with his WORKS, and the WORKS THE BELIEF (FAITH) was perfected?

2 Esdras 9:7 YHWH says

“And everyone that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his WORKS AND BY BELIEF(FAITH), by which you have believed.”

2 Esdras 13:23 YHWH says

“He who shall endure the danger in that time guards himself; those who have fallen into danger are those who have WORKS, AND BELIEF (FAITH) toward the Almighty.”

Revelation 20:12-13

“And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another Book was opened, which is Life. And the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to their WORKS. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his WORKS.”

If you notice YAHWEH Himself and other witnesses Paul, James, and Ezra all say that it is FAITH AND WORKS that will save a man, meaning that there is ACTION on performing the commandments on the part of the believer and performing His works and deeds. You do not sit back and do nothing, which is why it’s called WALKING in the paths of YAHWEH and His Ways, even the word WALK is an action word, even the word GUARD means to protect, you cannot guard something while sleeping or doing nothing.  He didn’t say “sit down” in His Ways.

Leviticus 18:4-5

“Do My Right-Rulings and GUARD (action), to WALK (action) in them. I am YAHWEH your ELOHIM. And you shall GUARD My Laws and My Right-Rulings, which a man DOES (action) and lives by them. I am YAHWEH.”

Titus 1:16

“They profess to KNOW ELOHIM, but in WORKS they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unfit for any good work.”

They profess to KNOW YESHUA but by their lawless actions of NO works they deny Him, because scripture tells us how to KNOW HIM!

1 John 2:3-4

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

Which is why YESHUA clearly says in Mathew 7:23 for the lawless to depart from Him. They had the faith, but did not have the works of the commandments of the Torah to go with it.

“And then I shall declare to them, I never KNEW you, depart from me, you WORK LAWLESSNESS.”

Lawlessness is a characteristic applied to Satan who rebelled and was cast out of heaven, is the lawless deeds of Satan someone who any believer should ever follow?

Everyone who studies the scriptures know that we are not appointed to the wrath of YAHWEH our Father, right?

1 Thessalonians 5:9

“Because ELOHIM did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain deliverance through our Master YESHUA HA’MASHIACH…”

We see this happen before YAHWEH flooded the earth during Noah’s day and left the righteous Noah behind with his sons to replenish the earth.

Jasher 4:20

“And all men who WALKED IN THE WAYS OF YAHWEH, died in those days, BEFORE YAHWEH brought the evil upon man which He had declared, for this was from YAHWEH, that they should NOT SEE THE EVIL which YAHWEH spoke of concerning the sons of men. And Noah found favor in the sight of YAHWEH, and YAHWEH chose him and his children to raise up seed from them upon the face of the whole earth.”

So, there are many Christians who are not walking in the WAYS of YAHWEH which we defined in an earlier section that the Way of YAHWEH is the Torah (Psalms 119:1), just as the days of Noah and we see YAHWEH destroyed them. So many Christians know we are not appointed to the wrath of YAHWEH, but look at what YAHWEH says you must do to avoid this:

2 Esdras 15:24-27

“Woe to those who sin, and DO NOT GUARD MY COMMANDS!” says YAHWEH. I shall NOT spare them. Go your way, you UNBELIEVING children, do not defile My Sanctuary!” For YAHWEH knows all those who sin against Him, therefore He gives them over to death and destruction. For now the plagues have come upon the whole earth and YOU SHALL REMAIN IN THEM; for ELOHIM shall not deliver you, because you have sinned against Him.”

This is why James says faith without works is dead, because without works of the Torah, actions, and deeds you are equated to an unbelieving child and does not separate you from an atheist. This is a powerful scripture and should be an eye-opener for many in this world. I pray this message will wake someone up to see that the hour is late and that time is running out. Repent! And give your life to YESHUA and be obedient to His commands!

May YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name.

Solar calendar or Lunar calendar?

The topic of which calendar to use has caused many debates and divisions amongst the Body of Messiah; it is definitely not a reason to stop fellowshipping with another brother or sister or hating one another. There is much confusion surrounding which calendar to use, so again it is not my intention to cause any fights over this topic, but to share why I use it and to shed some light on the topic, because there may be some information contained within this message that you were unaware of.

 This message also isn’t about covering the vernal equinox and when to start the next year, however I would like to share the things that jumped out to me and prayerfully make it easy to understand based on the scriptures I present. The goal of this message is simply to show the evidence of the use of the solar calendar. We will discuss did our ancestors use a solar calendar or a lunar calendar? There are 10 days missing on the lunar calendar, and is it really translated “New Moon” where we see it in scripture?

Did our ancestors use the solar calendar?

The Dead seas scrolls website states:

Calendrical Texts (חיבורים קלנדריים) – "Calendrical texts" found in the Qumran caves rely mainly on SOLAR rather than LUNAR calculations. The calendars are useful sources of information about festivals and priestly courses (mishmarot). The cryptic script (a type of unusual Hebrew writing) of some of the calendars may imply that the information was secret and (intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.) These manuscripts are especially valued for their orderly and systematic lists of days and months, enabling scholars to recreate missing pieces of the calendar. The most prominent calendar consists of 364 days divided into 4 seasons of 13 weeks each.

At the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established and we see the Dead Sea Scrolls website verifies it and The Zadok Priestly calendar which is a solar calendar are referenced in Enoch, Jubilees, and the Aramaic Levi document of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which shows that our ancestors used this calendar.

Jubilees 2:8-9

“And on the fourth day He created the sun and the moon and the stars, and set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light upon all the earth, and to rule over the day and the night, and divide the light from the darkness. And YAHWEH appointed the SUN TO BE A GREAT SIGN ON THE EARTH FOR DAYS, AND FOR SHABBATS, AND FOR MONTHS AND FOR FEASTS, AND FOR YEARS, AND FOR SHABBATS OF YEARS, AND FOR JUBILEES, AND FOR ALL SEASONS OF THE YEARS.”

This scripture tells us clearly that the sun aka the solar calendar is what we are to use to determine the Shabbats so that cancels out the lunar sabbath keepers, and also for days, feasts and years. If you have not please check out the written blog or video I did titled “The Lunar Shabbat deception”. Evening marks the end of a day and starts the beginning of the next; therefore, the SUN gets the last say in the day, but for those who follow the morning to morning days means the darkness gets the last say in the day. And we see clearly that the Book of Jubilees which is a malach aka messenger aka angel of YAHWEH speaking to Moses tells us to use the sun.

Jubilees 4:20-21

“And in the twelfth jubilee, in the seventh week, he (Enoch) took to himself a wife, and her name was Edna, the daughter of Dani’el, the daughter of his dad’s brother, and in the sixth year in this week she bore him a son and he called him Methuselah. And he (Enoch) was with the messengers of ELOHIM these six jubilees of years, and they showed him everything which is on earth and in the heavens: the RULE OF THE SUN; and he wrote down everything.”

Enoch 72:37

“As he (the sun) rises, so he sets and does not decrease, and does not rest, but runs day and night, and his light is seven times brighter than that of the moon; but regarding size they are both equal.”

Theapocryphalstone.com states: (Parenthesis mine)

“ALD (Aramaic Levi Document) uses a 360-day solar calendar (4 intercalary days added to make 364) of the type promoted by Jubilees and the Enochic Book of the Luminaries. Later, the same calendar was also advanced by the Dead Sea Sect. where it originated is still a mystery as is the question of its social location.”

So, the Aramaic Levi Document uses the 360-day solar calendar as the base year, just as Jubilees and Enoch does because 12 months X 30 days in a month= 360 days in a year and then Enoch explains that there must be four intercalary days added at the end of each season to equal a total of 364 days. The scriptures proving Jubilees and Enoch uses a 364-day solar calendar is in the next section (There are 10 days are missing on the lunar calendar).

Enoch 75:1-2

“And the leaders of the heads of the thousands, who are placed over the whole creation and over all the stars, have also to do with the FOUR INTERCALARY DAYS, being inseparable from their office, according to the reckoning of the year, and these render service on the FOUR DAYS which are not reckoned in the reckoning of the year (base year of 360 days). And owing to them men GO ASTRAY therein, for those lights truly render service on the world-stations, one in the first portal, one in the third portal of the heavens, one in the fourth portal, and one in the sixth portal, and the EXACTNESS OF THE YEAR is accomplished through its separate THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR STATIONS.”

So, there are 360 days in a base year and Enoch says that you have to add four intercalary days to get to 364 total days to bring in the year exactly.

Jubilees 6:23

“And on the first day of the first month, on the first day of the fourth month, and on the first day of the seventh month, and on the first day of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and THE DAYS OF THE SEASONS IN THE FOUR DIVISONS of the year. These are written and ordained as a Witness forever.”

So, the first month is spring, the fourth month is summer, the seventh month is fall, and the tenth month is winter. All we have to do is add the 1 intercalary day to the end of each season and you will get 364 days. So the days in a month are 30, 30, 31 and it repeats.

 We see the first example of proof of there being 30 days in a month is found in Genesis.

Genesis 7:24

“And the waters were mighty on the earth, one hundred and fifty days.”

5 months X 30 days in a month= 150 days, so we have proof of a steady 30-day count and not a 29 or 29.5 day count based on the lunar calendars. YAHWEH uses perfect math for all of His calculations and makes it easier for His children to follow.

10 days are missing on the lunar calendar

One of the biggest eye openers is the fact that the solar calendar as outlined in Enoch, Jubilees, and the Aramaic Levi document attest to the year consisting of 364 days and the Lunar calendar as a total of 354 days so there are 10 missing that needs to be accounted for and the Book of Enoch and Jubilees explain this.

Sciencing.com says (Parenthesis mine)

“A lunar year has approximately 354 days. A solar year has 365 days (But we have shown from scripture it’s 364 not 365). This leaves an 11-day difference (10 according to scripture) between one solar year and one lunar year, resulting from the difference in their definitions. The term epact describes this specific time difference. Over the course of 33 years, there will be a lag of one year between solar and lunar calendars because of the successive epacts.”

So, science is very close to backing up the word of YAHWEH as they are off by one day, there are 364 days not 365. The point that I’m proving is that even based on their calculations there are days missing on the lunar calendar. So, let’s look at Enoch and Jubilees are other witnesses.

Enoch 74:9-17 (Parenthesis mine)

Solar calendar 364 days:

“Thus I saw their position: how the moon rose and the sun set in those days. And if five years are added together the sun has a surplus of thirty days, and all the days which accrue to it for one of those five years, when they are full, amount to THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS. And the surplus of the sun and of the stars amounts to six days: in five years, six days every year come to thirty days: and the moon FALLS BEHIND THE SUN AND STARS to the number of thirty days. And the SUN AND THE STARS (Not the moon) BRING IN ALL THE YEARS EXACTLY, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day to ETERNITY; but complete the years with PERFECT JUSTICE IN THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS. In three years there are one thousand ninety-two days (3 years divided into 1,092 days equals 364 days), and in five years there are one thousand eight hundred and twenty days (5 years divided into 1,820 days equals 364 days), so that in eight years there are two thousand nine hundred and twelve days (8 years divided into 2,912 days equals 364 days”

Lunar calendar: 354 days

“For THE MOON alone the days amount in three years to one thousand and sixty-two days (When you take three years and divide them into 1,062 days you get 354 days on lunar) And in five years there are one thousand seven hundred and seventy days, so that for the moon the days in eight years amount two thousand eight hundred and thirty two days (8 years divided into 2,832 gives you 354 days). For in eight years she falls behind to the amount of eighty days, all the days she FALLS BEHIND IN EIGHT YEARS ARE EIGHTY. And the year is accurately completed in conformity with their world stations and the stations of the SUN, which rise from the gates though which it the sun rises and sets THIRTY DAYS.”

We see the sun and the stars bring in the year exactly in 364 days and do not delay or advance their positions at all, not even a single day to eternity. However, we see the moon goes her own way and falls behind the sun and stars. So, if you follow the moon aka the lunar calendar the days will off because the moon DOES delay and advance her position unlike the sun and stars. And we see that the moon falls behind 80 days in 8 years, so 8 divided into 80 is 10 days, which shows that on the lunar calendar there are 10 days missing and the book of Jubilees will drive this point home.

Jubilees 6:32-38 (Parenthesis mine)

“And command the children of Yisra’el that they guard the years according to this reckoning: THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS, and these will constitute a COMPLETE YEAR, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to their witness, and they will not leave out ANY DAY (Which will happen using the lunar calendar missing 10 days) nor disturb any feasts. They will corrupt appointed times, and the years will be moved from this order, and they will disturb the appointed times and the years will be moved and they will corrupt their ordinances. And all the children of Yisra’el will forget and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new months, and appointed times, and Shabbats and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years. For I now and now will I declare it to you, and its is not of my own heart, for the book is written before me, and is ordained on the heavenly tablets of the division of days; lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk in the feasts of the nations; after their ERROR and after their ignorance. For there will be those WHO EXAMINE THE MOON DILIGENTLY (Those following the lunar calendar and the new moons which we saw were off according to Enoch’s calculations) because it (the moon) WILL CORRUPT THE APPOINTED TIMES and it will advance from year to year, TEN DAYS. Therefore, the years will come to them as they corrupt and make an abominable day the day of witness, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will mix all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and Shabbats and feasts and Jubilees. Therefore, I command and witness to you that you may witness to them; for after your death your children will be corrupted so that they will not make the year only THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS. Therefore they will go WRONG as to the months and appointed times and Shabbats and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.”

Notice how the messenger of YAHWEH says that those who follow the moon will miss 10 days? This is another witness to what Enoch showed us through his calculations of the 364 days on the solar calendar versus the 354 days on the lunar calendar. So, both Enoch and Jubilees confirm that those who follow the lunar calendar the phases of the moon will go astray to all the appointed times, because of the 10-day differential with the solar calendar. The messenger of YAHWEH warns to follow the solar calendar of 364 days and not the lunar calendar, which we see recorded in Enoch, Jubilees, and the Aramaic Levi Document.

Is it really translated New Moon?

All over the scriptures we read “New Moon” to establish the beginning of the new month, but is that what it actually says? The Hebrew word for the moon is “yareach” and you will be surprised to know that wherever you see the word “New Moon” the Hebrew word for moon “yereach” is not there! So how can it be the new moon when the Hebrew word for moon is not there? This should be very startling to the lunar calendar community. Example:

Genesis 37:9

“And he dreamed still another dream and related it to his brothers and said, “See, I have dreamed another dream, and see the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me.”

When you look up the etymology for the word moon in this passage it is #H3394 which is yareach. Now let’s look at the etymology for the word “New Moon”.

Ezekiel 46:3

“Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before YAHWEH in the Shabbats and the in the new moons.”

The etymology for the word “new moon” is #H2320 which is “Chodesh” which means month or first day of the month. As we can see the word “New Moon” doesn’t even contain the Hebrew word “yareach” for moon anywhere and it’s a completely different word being used, and also matches the truth presented by Enoch and Jubilees.

Numbers 10:10

“And in the day of your gladness, and in your Appointed Times, and AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR MONTHS (Chodesh), you shall blow the trumpets…”

Numbers 28:11

“And on the BEGINNINGS OF YOUR MONTHS (Chodesh) you bring near a burnt offering to YAHWEH…”

Now it makes more sense how David knew that the next day was “Chodesh” meaning month or new month, because all he had to do was count 30 days to get to the next month and not look for moon slivers etc. on the lunar calendar. As we read:

1 Samuel 20:5

“And David said to Jonathan, “See, tomorrow is CHODESH (Month/New Month), and I ought to sit with the king to eat. But let me go and I shall hide in the field until the third day at evening.”

This scripture is a clear indicator that David was aware of the solar calendar that our ancestors followed and now that we have already discussed that the word “new moon” is not the correct translation we can determine that David was counting the days and knew that the 30 days in that month had ended; and the next day was the first day of the new month.

Psalm 81:3

“Blow the trumpet at the new month (CHODESH), in the appointed times, on our solemn feasts day.” Again, they translate it as New Moon but the etymology says Chodesh for month.

And we see this same pattern throughout the scriptures such as: 1 Chronicles 23:30-31, 2 Chronicles 2:4, 2 Chronicles 8:12-13, Nehemiah 10:32-33, 2 Kings 4:23, Amos 8:5, Isaiah 1:13-14, Isaiah 66:22-23 and Hosea 2:11.

 \I know that this will hard for many to accept because of the traditions we have been taught and practicing for years. I too, was one who walked in Judaism, but I must admit that it never felt right to me. So, I prayed and two years later I was shown this, so I encourage anyone who is having a hard time accepting the information I presented to take it to our Father YAHWEH in prayer.

I pray that this is helpful to many and that you can see the evidence that has been

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

Are you an ungrateful complainer?

Our Father YAHWEH is so good to us even when people think that He is not and yes this includes the atheists. The blessings are right in your face, but sadly many people take it for granted and take things that YAHWEH has given as if it were owed to them. We are underserving of what He has done for us, yet He loves us more than we can comprehend that He sent His only begotten Son YESHUA to die for us. We will discuss how YAHWEH feels about complaining and the ungrateful, what happens to the ungrateful, and make sure to always give thanks.

YAHWEH has given you the breath to wake up to go to work to make money to pay the bills, He has given you the ability to walk and raise your arms without you even having to think about it, but all of these get taken for granted. But sadly, with all of this many will grumble and complain against YAHWEH and speak evil of His goodness and love. People complain when it rains and say “Oh, how I wish the sun was out, I hate the rain!” Without rain you would not have water to drink and would die of dehydration? You need water to make that ice tea or coffee that the world loves to drink. Then when the sun comes out they say “Oh man it’s too hot outside!” The complaining never ends. If it was up to man we would have all four seasons at the same time and there would still be grumbling. Did you not know that complaining against what He has ordained and made good is an evil thing to do? How does YAHWEH feel about complaining and being ungrateful?

Exodus 15:23-25

“And they came to Marah, and they were unable to drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. So the name of it was called Marah. And the people GRUMBLED (Which means to complain about something in a bad-tempered way) against Moses, saying, What are we to drink? Then he cried out to YAHWEH, and YAHWEH showed him a tree. And when he threw it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.”

Despite the complaining in a bad-tempered way, YAHWEH provided water for them by making the bitter waters sweet. So that should have been enough to show the children of Yisra’el to stop complaining and realize that YAHWEH provides and to be grateful of Him sustaining them right? No! They continued in the next chapter as many do today. Whenever a new problem arises they complain and forget what YAHWEH has literally just done for them.

Exodus 16:2

“And ALL the congregation of the children of Yisra’el GRUMBLED (to complain about something in a bad-tempered way) against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. And the children of Yisra’el said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of YAHWEH in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to satisfaction! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.” And 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.”

So we YAHWEH provide in Exodus 15 and Exodus 16 despite them being ungrateful, but immediately following those occurrences we see the exact same pattern in chapter 17.

Exodus 17:1-7

“And ALL the congregation of the children of Yisra’el departed on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the command of YAHWEH, and camped in Rephidim. And there was no water for the people to drink. Therefore the people strove (struggle or fight vigorously) with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you TRY YAHWEH?” And the people thirsted there for water and the people GRUMBLED (to complain about something in a bad-tempered way) against Moses, and said, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst? Then Moses cried out to YAHWEH, saying, “What am I to do with this people? Yet a little and they shall stone me!” And YAHWEH said to Moses, “Pass over before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Yisra’el. And take in your hand your rod with which you struck the river, and go. “See, I am standing before you there on the rock in Horeb. And you shall smite the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people shall drink.” And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Yisra’el. And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the ‘strife’ of the children of Yisra’el, saying, “Is YAHWEH in our midst or not?”

Many TRY YAHWEH and put Him on trial as if that were possible to provide for them when He is already doing it, and has done it several times, but all He keeps hearing is complaints in every situation that comes up instead of trusting Him.

Numbers 11:1-4

“And it came to be, when the people were as COMPLAINERS, it was EVIL in the ears of YAHWEH. And YAHWEH heard it, and His DISPLEASURE BURNED. And the fire of YAHWEH burned among them, and consumed those in the outskirts of the camp. And the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to YAHWEH, and the fire died down. Then he called the name of the place Tab’erah, because the fire of YAHWEH had burned among them. And the mixed multitude who were in their midst lusted greatly, so the children of Yisra’el also WEPT AGAIN and said. “Who is giving us meat to eat?”

Numbers 21:4-7

“And they departed from Mount Hor by the way of the Sea of Reeds, to go around the land of Edom. But the being of the people grew impatient because of the way. And the people spoke against ELOHIM and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, AND OUR BEING LOATHES THIS LIGHT BREAD. (They loathed and complained about manna the bread of the angels they YAHWEH provided) And YAHWEH sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. And many of the people of Yisra’el died. Then the people came to Moses, and said, “We have SINNED, for we have spoken against YAHWEH and against you. Pray to YAHWEH to take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed on behalf of the people.”

We see that YAHWEH hates it when people complain, especially because He is so good to us. The point is that people forget the goodness of YAHWEH and what He has done and then turn right around and grumble and complain, or the atheists of the world feel like YAHWEH’s provision was owed to them and blaspheme and curse Him by saying He doesn’t exist.

2 Esdras 7:22-23

“Nevertheless they were not obedient to Him; but SPOKE AGAINST HIM, and plotted in vain; and deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said of the Most High, that He did not exist; and did not know His ways.”

Numbers 14:27

“How long shall this evil congregation have this GRUMBLING against Me? I have heard the grumblings which the children of Yisra’el are GRUMBLING against Me.”

Enoch 1:9

“And see! He comes with ten thousands of His saints to execute judgment upon all, and to destroy all the wicked, and to convict all flesh of all the works of their wickedness which they have committed, and of ALL THE HARSH MATTERS WHICH WICKED SINNERS HAVE SPOKEN AGAINST HIM.”

Jude 1:14-16

“And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied of these, saying, “See, YAHWEH comes with His myriads of saints, to execute judgment on all, to punish all who are wicked among them concerning all their wicked works which they have committed in a wicked way, and concerning all the harshness which wicked sinners have SPOKEN AGAINST HIM.” These are GRUMBLERS, COMPLAINERS, who walk according to their own lusts, and their MOUTH SPEAKS PROUDLY, admiring appearance for the sake of gain.

Enoch 5:4

“But you, you have not been steadfast, nor done the Commandments of YAHWEH, but you have turned away and SPOKEN PROUD AND HARSH WORDS WITH YOUR IMPURE MOUTHS AGAINST HIS GREATNESS. Oh, you hard-hearted! You shall find no peace.”

Luke 6:35

“Rather, love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. And your reward shall be great, and you shall be sons of the Most High. Because He (YAHWEH) is KIND TO THE THANKLESS AND WICKED ONES.”

Yet despite the complaining, grumbling, thankless, and wickedness of those who don’t follow His commandments, including atheist who do not acknowledge Him; YAHWEH still shows kindness and love to the ungrateful, they breathe fresh air, eat His food and drink His water without even giving it a second thought. Do you think this will go unpunished? This goes for both believers and non-believers because have both partaken in His goodness.

YAHWEH has provided food in abundance, just think of all the fishing from piers, boats, and commercial fishing, yet there is plenty of fish to go around and then some. The next time you eat a watermelon, honeydew, or cantaloupe look at all the thousands of seeds contained within it. One seed that was planted produces thousands of seeds so that you can eat and be satisfied. People can literally walk into a grocery store and buy groceries that a farmer has grown, which would not have been possible if YAHWEH did not bring forth His sun or bring the rains to make it all grow, the food did not just magically appear on the shelf for your enjoyment.

Once they are satisfied they forget YAHWEH!

Jubilees 1:7-9

“And write for yourself all these words which I declare to you today, for I know their rebellion and their stiff neck. Before I bring them into the land of which I swore to their ancestors, to Abraham and to Isaac and to Jacob, saying: To your seed I will give a land flowing with mild and honey. And they will EAT AND BE SATISFIED, and they will turn to strange elohim, to those who cannot deliver them from any of their affliction. And this witness shall be heard for a WITNESS against them. For they will forget all My commands even all that I commanded them, and they will walk after the nations, and after their uncleanness, and after their shame, and will serve their elohim, and these will become a stumbling block to them, and an affliction, and a torment, and a snare.”

As many will do today, once their stomachs are satisfied with food that YAHWEH has provided, they will go their own way forgetting the One who gave it! YAHWEH says they will turn to strange mighty ones, just think about it, how many are satisfied with YAHWEH’s provision of food and water and immediately turn to celebrate the pagan holidays of Christianity? It’s the exact same thing and qualifies as disobedience and being ungrateful!

Hosea 13:5-7

“I tended you as a shepherd in the wilderness, in an uninhabited land. According to their pastures so they were completely FILLED; and their hearts were exalted; therefore they FORGOT ME.”

Isaiah 44:13-17 (Septuagint)

“The carpenter having chosen a piece of wood, marks it out with a rule and fits it with glue and makes it as the form of man, and as the beauty of a man, to set it up in the house. He cuts wood out of the forest, which YAHWEH HAS PLANTED, even a pine tree and the RAIN MADE IT GROW, that it might be for men to burn: and having taken part of it he warms himself; yes, they burn part of it and bake loaves thereon; and from the rest they make for themselves elohim and they worship them. Half of it he burns in the fire and with half of it he bakes loaves on the coals; and having roasted flesh on it he eats and is SATISFIED and having WARMED HIMSELF HE SAYS, I AM COMFORTABLE, for I have warmed myself and have seen the fire. And the rest he makes a graven elohei and elohei.”

YAHWEH provides the wood and men make a fire to warm themselves and cook out or bake cakes upon the wood which YAHWEH planted and made it grow with His rain. Man turns around and forgets Him by making idols to worship with the very tree that He created, talk about being completely ungrateful! YAHWEH made the trees and man takes it and makes it into an xmas tree to worship it.

Isaiah 5:11-12

“Woe to those who rise early in the morning pursuing strong drink, who stay up late at night-wine inflames them! And the lyre and the harp, the tambourine and flute, and wine are in their feasts; but they do not regard the deeds of YAHWEH, nor see the work of His hands.”

They rose early to feast and drink wine and did not see that YAHWEH is the One who provided the food and the wine for them to drink, and not only did they not acknowledge Him, but they also abused what was given by getting drunk.

What happens to ungrateful?

Acts 14:12-17

“And they called Barnabas Zeus, and Paul-Hermes, since he was the chief speaker. And the priest of Zeus, being in front of their city, brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, and wanted to offer with the crowds. And when the emissaries Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their garments and ran in among the crowd, crying out and saying, “Men, why are you doing this? We also are men with the same nature as you, bringing to you the Good News: to turn from these worthless matters to the living ELOHIM, who made the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them, who in the past generations allowed the nations to walk in their own ways, though, indeed, He did not leave Himself WITHOUT WITNESS, DOING GOOD-GIVING US RAIN FROM THE HEAVENS AND FRUIT-BEARING SEASONS, FILLING OUR HEARTS WITH FOOD AND GLADNESS.”

All the good that YAHWEH has done by providing the rain and food for everyone to eat will be used as a witness against those who reject Him, which ties perfectly in with the next scripture:

2 Esdras 9:9-12

“Then those who have ABUSED My Ways shall be in a wretched state; and those who have thrown them away in spite shall dwell in torture. For such have RECEIVED BENEFITS in their life, but have NOT KNOWN ME; and those who have loathed My Law, while they still had freedom, and when a place of repentance was still open to them, did not understand, but despised it; the same must acknowledge it in anguish after death.”

This is a vey powerful passage that needs to be broken down. YAHWEH says they have received His benefits in their life meaning the thankless, the complainers, the atheist all were given food, water, clothing and yet they did not acknowledge Him for all the good that He did. Then He says they loathed His laws and have not known Him, and how do we know Him?

1 John 2:3-4

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

And “even though they had freedom” meaning they had free-will to choose to give Him thanks and be obedient; however, they chose not to repent while they had a chance to do so, and being that they abused His ways and did not obey His commands they will dwell in torments after death.

Romans 1:20-21

“For since the creation of the world His invisibilities have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, both His everlasting power and mightiness, for them to be WITHOUT EXCUSE, because, although they knew ELOHIM, they did not esteem Him as ELOHIM, NOR GAVE THANKS, but became vain in their reasonings, and their undiscerning heart was darkened.”

No one on this earth will have an excuse for not giving thanks or accepting who YAHWEH is even though they have not seen Him, but His works are clearly seen by His entire creation. And from His beautiful creation He provides an abundance of what we need to survive so there will not be any reasons for not acknowledging Him or grumbling and complaining against Him.

Be grateful and give thanks!

Philippians 2:14

“Do all without grumblings and disputing’s; in order that you be blameless and faultless, children of ELOHIM without blemish in the midst of a crooked and corrupt generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…”

1 Timothy 6:6-8

“But reverence with contentment is great gain. For we brought naught into the world, and it is impossible to take any out. When we have food and covering, we shall be satisfied with these.”

Sirach 29:21

“The necessities for life are water, and bread, and garments, and a house for privacy.”

Sirach 39:26-27

“The basic necessities for the whole use of man’s life are: water, fire, iron, and salt, flour of wheat, honey, milk, and the juice of grapes, and oil, and garments. All these are for good to the righteous.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in all give thanks, for this is the desire of ELOHIM in Messiah YESHUA for you.”

Philippians 4:11-13

“Not that I speak concerning need, for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am. I know what it is to have in excess. In any and all, have learned both to be filled, and to be hungry, both to have in excess, and to be in need. I have strength to do all, through Messiah who empowers me.”

Brothers and sisters let today be the day you stop complaining and grumbling and remember all the blessings that our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA has provided for you. Remember that you are not obligated to receive this, but it is out of His love for you! Give our ELOHIM praises at ALL times for He is worthy to be praised!

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

Genesis 49: Jacob’s prophecy of YESHUA!

Continuing with the theme from last week concerning how many have been falling away from the faith and denouncing YESHUA and the New Testament, I wanted to offer more proof from the Old Testament found in Genesis proving that YESHUA is who He says He is. We will begin by looking at the text from the Masoretic and then compare it to the Septuagint to get a clearer meaning.

Genesis 49:8-10 (Masoretic)

“You, Yehudah (Judah), your brothers praise you; your hand is on the neck of your enemies; your father’s children bow down before you. Judah is a lion’s cub; from the prey you have gone up, my son! He bowed down, he crouched like a lion. And like a lion, who rouses him? The scepter shall not turn aside from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him is the obedience of peoples.”

Genesis 49:8-10 (Septuagint)

“Yehudah (Judah) your brothers have praised you and your hands shall be on the back of your enemies; your father’s sons shall honor you. Judah is a lion’s cub: from the tender plant, my son you have gone up, having couched you lie as a lion as a cub; who shall stir him up? A RULER shall not fail from JUDAH nor PRINCE (KING) from his thighs, until there comes the things stored up for Him; and He is the EXPECTATION OF THE (NATIONS) GENTILES.”

We can see in the Septuagint version that the prophecy of YESHUA was clear that from the tribe of Judah there would not fail to be a Ruler/King and that this Ruler would be the expectation to the gentiles. This ties into another prophecy by the prophet Micah that matches what Jacob said.

YESHUA a King from Judah

Micah 5:2 (Parenthesis mine)

“And you Beyt Lehem (City YESHUA was born), house of Ephrathah, are few in number to be reckoned among the thousands of Yehudah (Judah); yet out of you one shall come out to me, to be a RULER of Yisra’el; and his goings out were from the beginning, even from the days of eternity.”

The prophecy of Micah shows the divinity of YESHUA that He is the Aramaic word “The Miltha” The Physical Manifestation of YAHWEH and the Substance of YAHWEH Who existed from the very beginning before the creation of the world and shows that He would become flesh. David understood that there would be a ruler of from his bloodline from his tribe of Judah to sit on the throne as Jacob prophesied over Judah because YAHWEH promised Him this, which means that YESHUA would descend from him to fill this prophecy:

2 Samuel 7:16-29

“And your house and your reign are to be steadfast FOREVER before you- your throne is established FOREVER. According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David. And King David went in and sat before YAHWEH and he said, “Who am I, O Master YAHWEH? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? And yet this was a small matter in Your eyes, O Master YAHWEH. And You have also spoken of Your servant’s house FOR A GREAT WHILE TO COME. And is this the teaching of man, O Master YAHWEH? And what more does David say to You? For You, My Master YAHWEH, know Your servant. Verse 25 “And now, O YAHWEH ELOHIM, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said. And let Your Name be made great forever, saying, ‘YAHWEH Sabaoth is the ELOHIM over Yisra’el.’ And let the house of Your Servant David be established before You. For You, O YAHWEH Sabaoth (Hosts), the ELOHIM of Yisra’el, have revealed this to Your servant saying, ‘I build you a house.’ Therefore, Your servant has taken heart to pray this prayer to You. And now, O My Master YAHWEH, You are ELOHIM, and your words are true, and You have spoken this goodness to Your Servant. And now, be pleased to bless the house of Your servant, to be before You, FOREVER. For You, O My Master YAHWEH, have spoken it, and with your blessings let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”

Acts 13:22-23

“And having removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave witness and said, “I have found David the son of Jessie, a man after My own heart, who shall do all My desires.” From this one’s seed according to the promise, YAHWEH raised up for Yisra’el a Savior YESHUA.”

We see that YAHWEH established the house of David forever and of course David would not live forever, so this was a prophecy of our Messiah who would be King, which is why Ezekiel uses the colorful language to explain this end times prophecy:

Ezekiel 37:24

“And My servant David (YESHUA) shall be a Prince (KING) in the midst of them: there shall be one Shepherd for them all, for they shall walk in my decrees and keep my judgements and do them, and they shall  dwell in their land, which I have given to my servant Jacob, where their ancestors dwelt; and they shall dwell on it; and David (YESHUA) my Servant shall be their KING FOREVER. And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will establish My sanctuary in the midst of them FOREVER. And My tabernacle shall be among them; and I will be to them ELOHIM and they shall be My people. And the nations shall know that I am YAHWEH that sanctifies them, when My Sanctuary is in the midst of them forever.”

Mathew 1:1

“The book of the genealogy of YESHUA HA’MASHIACH, Son of David, Son of Abraham…”

Here we see Mathew connects YESHUA to the lineage of David from the tribe of Judah showing that He is the rightful heir to the throne by calling Him the Son of David as YAHWEH promised him; and saying YESHUA is the Son of Abraham connects Him to being a Hebrew.

Luke 1:31-33

“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 ANCESTOR DAVID. And He shall reign over the house of Jacob FOREVER, and there shall be NO END TO HIS REIGN.”

Revelation 22:16

“I, YESHUA, have sent My messenger to witness these to you in the assemblies. I am the Root and the Offspring of DAVID, the Bright and Morning Star.”

Revelation 5:5-9

“And one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. See, the Lion of the tribe of JUDAH, the Root of DAVID, overcame to open the scroll and to loosen its seven seals. And I looked and saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing, as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are seven Spirits of ELOHIM sent out into all the earth. And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him sitting on the throne. And when He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a renewed song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and have redeemed us to YAHWEH by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and made us kings and priests to our ELOHIM, and we shall reign upon the earth.”

Psalm 45:6-7

“Your throne, O ELOHIM, is forever and ever; the scepter of Your reign is a scepter of straightness. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore ELOHIM, Your ELOHIM has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than our companions.”

Hebrews 1:5-9

“For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You? An again, “I shall be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a son? And when he again brings the First-Begotten into the world, He says, “Let all the messengers of YAHWEH do reverence to Him.” And of the messengers indeed He says, “Who is making His messengers spirits and His servants a flame of fire.” But to the Son, “Your THRONE, O ELOHIM, is forever and ever, a scepter of straightness is the scepter of Your reign. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, YAHWEH, Your ELOHIM, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

Daniel 7:13

“I saw in the night vision and look, one coming with the clouds of heaven (See Mathew 26:64) as the Son of Man and He approached The Ancient of Days and was brought near to Him. And to Him was given the dominion and the honor and the KINGDOM; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve Him: His dominion is an EVERLASTING dominion, which shall not pass away and His Kingdom shall not be destroyed.”

The prophecy of Jacob spoken back in Genesis 49 was all concerning YESHUA the Son of YAHWEH who will sit on the throne forever!

Light to the gentiles and He is the EXPECTATION OF THE (NATIONS) GENTILES

The other part of the prophecy that Jacob mentions outside of YESHUA being King is that He is the expectation of the nations/gentiles, meaning that His mission is to bring all people and nations to the truth and give them hope and salvation of the One true living ELOHIM, which would be through His blood drawing all unto Himself. And that they would walk in His Light and see this revelation. The beautiful thing is that we already see the gentiles being grafted into the nation of Yisra’el in the Old Testament. Ruth the Moabite, Caleb the Kezzinite, Elijah the Tishbite, Tamar the Caanite, etc. We also see the gentiles joining with Yisra’el in Exodus:

Exodus 12:37, 48-50 (Septuagint)

“And the children of Yisra’el having departed from Ramses to Sukkot, to the full number of 600,000 footmen, even men besides the baggage. And a GREAT MIXED COMPANY (Gentiles) went up with them and sheep and oxen and very much cattle.” Verse 48-50“And if any proselyte 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; no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. There shall be one Torah to the native and to the proselyte coming among you. And the children of Yisra’el did as YAHWEH commanded Moses and Aaron for them, so they did.

Now through YESHUA the entire world would be able to receive the RUACH HA’KODESH if they believe; and have repentance unto life as we know that YESHUA died for the world.

Galatians 3:26-29

“For you are all sons of ELOHIM through belief in Messiah YESHUA. For as many of you as were immersed into Messiah have put on Messiah. There is not Jew nor Greek, there is not slave nor free, there is not male and female, for you are all ONE in Messiah YESHUA. And if you are of Messiah, then you are seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise.”

Light to gentiles

Luke 2:29-32

“Now let Your servant go in peace, O My Master, according to Your word, for my eyes have seen Your deliverance, which You have prepared before the face of all the peoples, A LIGHT FOR THE UNVEILING OF THE GENTILES, and the esteem of Your people Yisra’el.”

Isaiah 42:6 (Septuagint)

“I YAHWEH have called You in righteousness and will hold your hand and will strengthen You and I have given You the covenant of a race, for A LIGHT OF THE GENTILES.”

Isaiah 49:6 (Septuagint)

“And He said to me, it is a great thing for You to be called My Servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob and to recover the dispersion of Yisra’el: see, I have given to You the covenant a race, as a LIGHT OF THE GENTILES, that you should be as salvation to the end of the earth.”

What is light?

Proverbs 6:23

“For the command is a lamp, and the Torah a LIGHT.”

John 3:19-21

“And this is the judgement, that the Light (YESHUA/TORAH) has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light (TORAH), for their works were wicked (Lawlessness). For everyone who is practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his works should be exposed (Lawlessness). But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, so that his works are clearly seen, that they have been wrought in ELOHIM.”

John 8:12

“Therefore YESHUA spoke to them again, saying “I am the LIGHT of the world. He who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness (lawlessness) but possess the light of life.”

This means that the gentiles would see the truth of YESHUA who is the Light aka The Living Torah and would have to walk just as the native-born obeying the commands of Torah, because the native-born were disobedient to YAHWEH, so He sent salvation to the gentiles because they would listen. Which is further evidence that the gentiles grafted in are not called to walk in darkness (law done away with) but to walk in the light (Torah the guidelines of instructions which Christianity calls the Law.)

Deuteronomy 32:21

“They made Me jealous by what is not EL, they provoked Me with their worthlessness. But I make them jealous by those who are no people, I provoke them with a foolish nation (gentiles).

2 Esdras 1:24, 35-37

“What shall I do unto you, O Jacob? You, Judah, would not OBEY ME. I shall turn Myself to other nations (gentiles) and to them I shall give My NAME, THAT THEY MAY GUARD MY LAWS. Verse 35 I shall give your houses to a people that shall come (gentiles) who having not yet heard of Me, SHALL BELIEVE ME; to whom I have showed no signs, YET THEY SHALL DO WHAT I HAVE COMMANDED THEM.” They have seen no prophets, yet they call their sins to remembrance (repentance) and acknowledge them. I call to witness the favor of the people to come, whose little ones rejoice in gladness, and though they have not seen Me with bodily eyes, yet in spirit they believe the Word that I say.”

Acts 13:46-48

“But speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, “It was necessary that the Word of ELOHIM should be spoken to you first (Jews), but since you thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, see, we turn to the GENTILES. For so the Master has commanded us, ‘I have appointed you to be a LIGHT TO THE GENTILES, that you should be for deliverance to the ends of the earth.” And when the gentiles heard this they were GLAD and praised the Word of YAHWEH. And as many as had been appointed to everlasting life believed.”

Acts 26:22-23

“Therefore, having obtained help from ELOHIM to this day I stand witnessing both to small and great, saying nil else than what the Prophets and Moses said would come- that HA’MASHIACH would suffer, would be the first to rise from the dead, He would proclaim LIGHT (TORAH) TO THE PEOPLE AND TO THE GENTILES.”

Enoch 48:2-6

“And at that hour the Son of Man was named in the presence of the Master 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 the hope of those who are troubled in heart. All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before Him, and will praise and bless and celebrate the Master of Spirits with song. And for this reason He has been chosen and hidden before Him, before the creation of the world and forevermore.”

In conclusion we see that from the writings of Enoch that YESHUA was already prophesied to be the light to the gentiles from the very beginning, so Jacob was just speaking what was to happen through his son Judah’s lineage, that YESHUA the Son of YAHWEH would be King and a light to the gentiles. All proving again that all must accept YESHUA because the Old Testament is filled with prophecies concerning YESHUA!

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

Prophecy of YESHUA fulfilled: Isaiah 50!

It appears that there is a great falling away occurring as many are denouncing YESHUA, doubting His existence, His divinity, and others outright rejecting the New Testament. This is the time we need to be standing strong in the faith with everything that is going on in the world, because that means we are one step closer to the return of YESHUA and I don’t want to see those who rejected Him or those who once knew Him but denounced Him realize they were wrong. I have already done many messages concerning YESHUA and who He is and I felt led to share another prophecy contained in Isaiah 50.

If you believe in the Old Testament and have rejected the New Testament, I would like to show just from these three verses of YESHUA’s fulfillment of them in the New Testament.

Isaiah 50:4-7 (Septuagint)

“My Master YAHWEH gives Me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word: He has appointed Me early, He has given Me an ear to hear: and the instruction of YAHWEH even YAHWEH, opens My ears and I do not disobey nor dispute. I gave My back to scourges and My cheeks to blows; and I did not turn away My face from the shame of spitting: But My Master YAHWEH became My helper; therefore I was not ashamed, but I set My face as a solid rock; and I know that I shall never be ashamed…”

When we break these verses down, we can see the fulfillment of them in the New Testament from prophecies that Isaiah wrote 700 years before YESHUA became flesh and walked the earth. And what is truly beautiful is that the One speaking in these passages is YESHUA Himself!

Verse 4 Tongue of Instruction

“My Master YAHWEH gives Me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word…”

We actually see this prophecy first mentioned in the Torah which YAHWEH revealed to Moses in Deuteronomy which matches what Isaiah wrote:

Deuteronomy 18:18

“I shall raise up for them a Nabi (Prophet) like you out of the midst of their brothers (Tribe of Judah). And I shall PUT MY WORDS IN HIS MOUTH, AND HE SHALL SPEAK THEM ALL THAT I COMMAND HIM.”

Acts 3:22-23

“For Moses truly said to the ancestors, ‘YAHWEH your ELOHIM shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers (Tribe of Judah). Him you shall hear according to all of what He says to you. And it shall be that every being who does not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the peoples.”

Whoever does not listen to the words of YESHUA will be destroyed because they have rejected the life giving words spoken to Him from His Father YAHWEH! This is the tongue of instruction He was referring to written in Isaiah and we have other witnesses confirming this:

John 12:49-50

“Because I (YESHUA) spoke NOT FROM MYSELF, but the Father who sent Me has given ME A COMMAND, WHAT I SHOULD SAY AND WHAT 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 6:38

“Because I have come down out of the heavens, NOT to do My OWN DESIRE, but the desire of Him who sent Me.”

John 8:28

“So YESHUA said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do naught of Myself, but as My Father TAUGHT Me, these I speak.”

John 14:20-24

“In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who possesses My Commands and guards them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest Myself to him.” Judah-not the one from Qeriyoth-said to Him, “My Master, what has come about that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not the world? YESHUA answered him, “if anyone loves Me, he shall guard My word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him. 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 3:36

“He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not OBEY the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of ELOHIM remains on him.”

If you don’t obey the words of YESHUA and obey them, then you have rejected the words of His Father YAHWEH Who gave Him those words to speak that lead to ever lasting life.

He has given Me an ear to hear: and the instruction of YAHWEH

John 5:19-20, 30

“Therefore YESHUA responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do naught by Himself, but only what which He sees the Father doing, because whatever He does, the Son also does likewise. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all that He Himself does. And greater works than these He is going to show Him, in order that you marvel. Verse 30 “Of Myself I am able to do naught. As I hear, I judge, and My judgement is righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me.”

Verse 5 Opens My ears and I do not disobey nor dispute

John 8:28-29

“So YESHUA said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do naught of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, these I speak. And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I ALWAYS DO WHAT PLEASES HIM.” As He was speaking these words, many believed in Him.”

Mathew 26:36-39

“Then YESHUA came with them to a place called Gath Shemen, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zabdai, and He began to be grieved and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My being is exceedingly grieved, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” And going forward a little, he fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I desire, but as You desire.”

Philippians 2:5-8

“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, 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.”

YESHUA being ELOHIM in the flesh never disobeyed nor disputed with His Father YAHWEH, instead He was always obedient and did what pleased Him even unto death and as Paul said that is a matter to be grasped, because we cannot fathom that kind of love that the Creator would die for us.

Verse 6 I gave My back to scourges and My cheeks to blows; and I did not turn away My face from the shame of spitting!

I gave My back to scourges

Mathew 27:24-26

“And when Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but rather an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this Righteous One. You shall see to it.” And all the people answering said, “His blood be on us and on our children.” Then he released Barabba to them, but having YESHUA WHIPPED, he delivered Him over to be impaled.”

Mark 15:15

“And Pilate, wanted to satisfy the crowd released Barabba to them, and having WHIPPED, he delivered YESHUA over to be impaled.”

My cheeks to blows:

Luke 22:63-64

“And the men who were holding YESHUA were mocking Him, beating Him. And having blindfolded Him, they were STRIKING Him on the face and were asking Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck You?”

John 18:19-23

“Then the high priest asked YESHUA about His disciples and His teaching. YESHUA answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in the congregation and in the Sanctuary, where the Jews always meet, and I spoke naught in secret. Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard Me what I said to them. See, they know what I said.” And when He had said this, one of the officers who stood by SLAPPED YESHUA in the face, saying, “Do You answer the high priest this way?” YESHUA answered him, “If I have spoken evilly, bear witness of the evil, but if well, why do you STRIKE ME?

John 19:3

“And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns and placed it on the His head, and they put a purple robe on Him, and came to Him and said, “Greetings, King of the Jews!” And they SLAPPED Him in the face.”

Shame of spitting:
Mathew 26:65-67

“Then the high priest tore his garments, saying, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? See, now you have heard His blasphemy! What do you think?” And they answering, said, “He is liable to death.” Then they SPAT in His face and beat Him, and others slapped Him…”

Mathew 27:30

“And SPITTING on Him they took the reed and struck Him on the head.”

Mark 15:18-19

“And they began to call out to Him, “Greetings, King of the Jews! And they kept beating Him on the head with a reed and were SPITTING on Him. And bending the knee, they were bowing down to Him.”

Verse 7 But My Master YAHWEH became My helper And I know that I shall never be ashamed

John 8:28-29

“So YESHUA said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do naught of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, these I speak. And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father HAS NOT LEFT ME ALONE, for I ALWAYS DO WHAT PLEASES HIM.” As He was speaking these words, many believed in Him.”

Acts 2:26-36

“For this reason my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad, and now my flesh shall also rest in expectation, because You shall not leave my being in the grave, nor shall You give Your Kind One to see corruption. You have made known to me the Ways of life, You shall fill me with joy in Your presence.’ “Men and brothers, let me speak boldly to you of the ancestor David, that he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us this day. Being a prophet, then, and knowing that ELOHIM had sworn with an oath to him: of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up HA’MASHIACH to sit on his throne, for-seeing this he spoke concerning the resurrection of HA’MASHICAH, that His being was neither left in the grave, nor did His flesh see corruption. YAHWEH has raised up this YESHUA, of which we are all witnesses. Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of YAHWEH, and having received from the Father the promise of the RUACH HA’KODESH, He poured out this which you now see and hear. For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself said, ‘YAHWEH said to My Master, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” “Therefore let all the house of Yisra’el know for certain that YAHWEH has made this YESHUA, whom you impaled both Master and Messiah.”

Acts 13:34-37

“And that He raised Him out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has said thus, ‘I shall give you the trustworthy kindnesses of David. For this reason He also says in another Psalm, ‘You shall not give Your Kind One to see corruption. For David, indeed, having served his own generation by the counsel of ELOHIM, fell asleep, was buried with his ancestors, and saw corruption, but He whom YAHWEH raised up saw no corruption.”

YAHWEH was YESHUA’s helper by strengthening Him to endure the persecution and death for the forgiveness of sins; and YESHUA defeated death by being raised up on the third day and was not put to shame. YAHWEH exalted Him as He now sits at His right-hand, and one day we will see YESHUA coming on the clouds of the heavens and we will see the esteem that He had with the Father before the foundation of the world as He prayed in John 17.

You have to ask yourself, what are the odds of the words that Isaiah wrote 700 years before YESHUA happening exactly as it was written? If YESHUA does not exist, then how was He the One speaking in those verses before He became flesh? That is because the Word of YAHWEH is living and true and His word will always come to pass. So, accept the New Testament as well as the old and give your life to YESHUA and repent if you have not already.

Isaiah 46:10 (Septuagint)

“Telling BEFOREHAND the latter events before they come to pass and they are accomplished together: and I said, all My counsel shall stand and I will do all things that I have planned…”

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