We as followers of our Master (Adon) and Savior YESHUA must be on guard for all lies and deceptions by Satan the devil. Revelation (Hazon) 12:9 tells us “And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads all the world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers (angels) were thrown out with him.” In this blog I want to reveal some of the lies he has taught the world to believe to lead them astray and NOT live according to The Word of YHWH! And as I love to point out, The Word of YHWH is YESHUA (Revelation 19:13). YESHUA tells us in John 8:44-45
“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it. And because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.”
So according to YESHUA we have YHWH who is our Father for those who believe and Satan for those who listen to lies of the devil. There are only two kinds of seed in this world and the original Hebrew “the Otitot” which was a pictograph language, is Nun (pronounced noon) it’s literally a picture of what the world calls swimming sperm today. It represents the heir or offspring, the good seed YESHUA or the bad seed Satan. Genesis 3:15
“And I put enmity (division) between you and the woman, and between your seed (Satan) and her Seed. He (YESHUA) shall crush your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”
The wife of Haman understood the meaning of this protection from YHWH and the good seed in Esther 6:13 saying
“And when Haman related to his wife Zeresh and all his loved ones all that had befallen him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him. “If Mordekai, before whom you have begun to fall, is from the SEED of the Yahudim (Jews), you are not going to prevail against him but certainly fall before him.”
Psalms 112:1-2
“HalleluYAH! Baruk (Blessed) is the man who reveres YHWH, who has greatly delighted in His Commands. Mighty in the earth shall be his SEED, the generation of the straight ones shall be baruk.”
Notice how the righteous seed is dependent upon the reverence of YHWH and keeping His Commands? The seed of our Elohim will be protected and be lifted up if you obey Him! Those who rebel and oppose like Satan and his messengers did are the bad seed.
And we can see that Haman was of the seed of Satan because he is described as having the exact same characteristics as him in Esther 7:6
“And Esther said, “The adversary and enemy is this evil Haman.”
We know that ha’Satan literally means (the adversary) he is evil and he is our enemy who wants to wage war with the people of Elohim. As YESHUA said Satan is the father of lies and speaks what is natural to him which is lies! So why do people follow the bad seed? Satan has already been defeated with YESHUA’s atonement for us, now he just wants to take as many as he can with him, his pride makes him think he still has a chance of winning. Satan wars with the seed of the people of Elohim to this day. Revelation 12:17
“And the dragon was enraged with the woman (Yisra’el), and he went to fight with the remnant of her SEED, those guarding the Commands of YHWH and possessing the witness of YESHUA ha’Mashiach.”
Ultimate deceiver!
Interestingly I wanted to write a passage from the book 1st Adam and Eve 6:6-8 which says
“If only you had not transgressed My commandment and had kept my law, and had not eaten of the fruit of the tree, near which I told you not to come! And there were fruit trees in the garden better than that one. But the wicked Satan who continued not in his first estate, nor kept his faith; in who was no good intent towards Me, and who though I had created him, yet set Me at naught, and sought the Elohim-head, so that I hurled him down from heaven—he it is who made the tree appear pleasant in your eyes, until you ate of it, by hearkening to him. Thus have you transgressed My commandment, and therefore have I brought upon you all these sorrows.”
Satan makes something look appealing in your eyes to make you respond and walk in the flesh versus the spirit, even though YHWH strictly says do not do it. He will flash candy in your face to tempt you and try to make you take the bait. For example, he made promises of immortality seem amazing to Eve even though they were already immortal. See the deception? Satan creates a little bit of doubt by saying Pssst, hey over here! And once you open up your ear to listen to his lies instead of rebuking him like YESHUA did Mathew 4:10 “Go Satan! For it is has been written, ‘You shall worship YHWH your Elohim, and Him alone you shall serve.” Otherwise he can plant that seed of doubt in your head and make believers walk that broad path of destruction as YESHUA said in Mathew 7:13-14 “Enter in through the narrow gate! Because the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in through it.” Because the gate is narrow and the way is hard pressed which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
If you are NOT deeply rooted in Elohim’s Word then you are open for deception. Satan in his own way says “Ahhhhh come on! Did YHWH really mean to say that? Live a little! Enjoy yourself! Does he really expect you to keep the commandments?” His cunning ways made Adam and Eve transgress the ONE commandment He told them not to do, which gave Satan authority over this world. He hates humans and that we were created in Elohim’s image, we remind him of the ONE he rebelled against. He also hates that Adam a human was given the right to name Elohim’s creation. Psalms 8:4-9
“What is man that You remember him? And the son of man that you visit him? Yet You have made him a little less than Elohim, and have crowned him with esteem and splendor. You made him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all under his feet, All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the filed, the birds of the shamayim, and the fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas. O YHWH, our Adon (Master), how excellent is Your Name in all the earth!”
Satan was created before humans and feels that he should be ruling over Elohim’s creation and not man, he wants to be worshipped as elohim, so now that he has taken the earth through deception and he wants man to worship him directly or indirectly and take you with him.
Now I will list the TRUTH OF ELOHIM followed by the lie of Satan that he whispers to the ears of believers.
The TRUTH followed by the Lie:
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: In the 10 Commandments, Remember the Sabbath Day, 7th Day, to keep it Holy (Kodesh). And in Exodus 31:13 “Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying, You must observe my Sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am YHWH you kadosh (sanctifies) you.” As discussed in an earlier broadcast The Sabbath in The Otiot is spelled (Taw, Beyt, Shin). Which means (Those who have been separated by the world, who belong to YESHUA in His Father’s House, who have been marked with a sign.) So we see the importance of this day.
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey!The day has been changed to the 1st day of the week because YESHUA rose on that day. And besides you can worship Him on any day of the week, then I’ll inspire people to twist scripture and point to Colossians 2:16 which says “Therefore, do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a new moon celebration or a Sabbath day.” The truth to what Paul was saying is don’t let any gnostic unbeliever judge you, the believer for practicing the truth. Because they are a shadow of things to come. In other words a dress rehearsal getting ready for the return of YESHUA!
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: In Leviticus 23 “And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Yisra’el, and say to them, ‘The Appointed Times (Moedim) of YHWH, which you are to proclaim as kodesh (holy) gatherings, MY Appointed Times, are these: They are listed as The weekly 7th Day Shabbat, Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Shavout, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, Feast of Tabernacles, and The 8th Day Closing Assembly. The Appointed Times are YHWH’s personal days to meet with all believers who join themselves to The True Elohim of Heaven and Earth. They are also called SHABBATS and we are to celebrate them throughout our generations.
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! The law was done away with and the days found in Leviticus 23 only belong to the (Yahudim) Jews. (Even though Abraham kept The Torah before The Jews Existed in Genesis 26:5). We are celebrate his counterfeit sabbats which are Halloween (The fall festival), Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Ground Hogs Day, etc. All which are NOT found in scripture.
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: Leviticus 18:21 “And do not give any of your offspring to pass through to Molech. And do not profane the Name of your Elohim. I am YHWH.”
· Satan says: Pssst! Hey! Child and human sacrifices are required to gain money, power, and fame on this earth. Why do so many children go missing each year? Why do you think the musicians, actors, actresses, and powers of this world do this?
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: You are to die to self and live for the one (YESHUA) who died for you. Life is no longer about your desires, but be a light to the world. That’s what Yom Kippur teaches us that YESHUA died for us and said “Not as I will but as You will.” We are to follow His example and die to self each day and walk in spirit and not the flesh. 2 Corinthians 5:15 says “And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them, and was raised.”
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! “Do as thou wilt!” You only live once and life is short, so party, drink, fornicate, celebrate my pagan days, and walk in the flesh. Do whatever your heart desires because it’s fun. And doesn’t it feel good to sin? You can’t control yourself because it feels too good to you so why stop? Plus nobody sees you, so go ahead, do it! Why live your life in bondage and legalism? See the freedom that I offer! And the truth is once you give your life to YESHUA you are set free from sin, can walk in spirit and no longer do the things you don’t want to do.
THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: YESHUA said in Mathew 5:28 “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” All of this is sexual immorality, while watching porn you are looking at the nakedness of a woman on the screen and lusting in your heart for her as you commit the sexual immoral act. And even without a porn video a man or woman envisions a thought of the opposite sex in their heads so they can commit the sexual immoral act. Sex outside of marriage is fornication and fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of YHWH and no sexual immorality. (Galatians 5). Hebrews 13:4 “MARRIAGE should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for Elohim will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 “It is Elohim’s will that you should be kadosh (sanctified): that you should avoid sexual immorality (whoring); that teach of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is kodesh and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know Elohim.” Any sex outside of marriage qualifies as sexual immorality (non-married couples pre-marital sex).
· Satan says: Pssst! Hey! Play the field and have sex with as many women or men as you can before you get married. Get it out of your system and make sure your wife-to-be is sexually compatible with you because you don’t want a boring spouse in bed. Also, being a virgin is not cool because you are a “square” and I’ll promote on TV shows and movies such as “The 40 year old virgin” making a mockery out of it. Satan also encourages watching porn and masturbating and it is sold freely everywhere. If you’re separated in a marriage you can go sleep with someone else because you’re not really married anymore. All you married couples have to do is just take your ring off and sleep with another woman, it’s not adultery if nobody knows, what she or he doesn’t know won’t hurt them right? Truth is if you are separated you are still married and bound by the law of YHWH no matter how free you thought you were.
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: Elaborating on the point above. Do not lust after woman because you have already committed adultery in your heart. Mathew 5:28 “But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! It’s ok to look as long as I don’t touch. After all I am a man and that is what we do! He gets people to justify their actions when it is wrong period.
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: Through Paul says be modest in clothing and that women should be covered and not expose her body (nakedness). Only her husband should be able to see her nakedness. And some jewelry is questionable based on Genesis 35:1-4 “Why did Jacob hide the earrings along with the idols?” 1 Timothy 2:9 “Likewise, that the women dress themselves becomingly, with decency and sensibleness, not with braided hair or gold, or pearls or costly garments, but with good works, which is becoming for women undertaking worship of Elohim.”
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! It’s cool for a woman to reveal her body to the world with short skirts, daisy dukes, and shirts showing the stomach or anything showing excessive amounts of skin or the complete outline of her body showing off her curves. Satan makes them say “well this is my body and I’m not wearing it for that reason.” “A man is going to look regardless.” Truth is Satan influences the music, movie, and fashion industry and he knows how our Elohim feels about lusting, so if he can make dressing half-naked popular then he can get millions of men to gawk. I will elaborate on this in another blog in the future Elohim willing!
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: In Leviticus 19:28 you shall not cut your flesh or get tattoos. Our bodies do not belong to us because we were purchased at a price. Also, tattoos open people up to demonic spirits and demonic covenants called “blood-letting” and YHWH did not want us looking like the pagan nations around us that covered themselves with tattoos with the names of their deities. Whatever you did before you came to know YESHUA I’m sure He will forgive, but if you know Him and continue to get tattoos then that is a different story.
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! It’s cool and it’s a way to express yourself! It is body art and besides that’s under the law. Yeah people in ancient Israel tattooed the names of their pagan gods on their bodies, but that isn’t why you are doing it. You are doing it to not only express yourself, but put your deceased family member’s names on you or of your children.
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL had a two temples of worship one built by Solomon and the other by Persian King Cyrus in The Book of Ezra. A third temple is prophesied to be built.
· Satan says: Pssst! Hey! I’ll have the temple of Ba’al built in four locations in New York, Washington DC, Dubai, and London counterfeiting YHWH. This third temple being built in Israel is for the anti-messiah and he will claim to be elohim deceiving many. (This topic is for a future blog!)
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: In Isaiah 24 the whole world is defiled because they transgressed the Torah (1st five Books of Bible) changed the Law, and broke the everlasting covenant and the world is under a curse and will be destroyed for it and only a few men will be left. Also, in Mathew 5:17-20 YESHUA said that He came did not come to abolish the Torah or prophets. Even the heavens (shamayim) are under law Job 38:33 “Do you know the laws of the heavens? Or do you apply their rule over the earth? So how is everything in the universe under law? Yet mortal man can be lawless?
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! The law is done away with and that we are free to be lawless like he is. YESHUA died for you, the work if finished because He did all the work on the execution stake, and did away with it nailed to the stake. You’re under grace and have a license to sin because “Hey, once saved always saved, right?!” Plus, a loving Elohim would not destroy His creation because he loves everyone. He the points to scripture and says just read John 3:16. Satan is banking that no one will read just 23 verses later that says in 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.”
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: Be selfless! like giving to the poor, looking out for the stranger/sojourner and not gleaning over the fields during the harvest, but leave what remains for the poor. 1 Corinthians 10:24 “No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.” YESHUA said in Mathew 25:37:45 “Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying Adonai (My Master), when did we see You hungry and we fed, or thirsty and gave to drink? And when did we see You a stranger and took in, or naked and clothed? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and we came to You? And the Sovereign shall answer and say to them ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you did it to Me.”
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! Be selfish, it is all about me and getting to the top no matter the cost. Live it up and store up treasures on earth instead of in heaven. Then look at one less fortunate and say “get a job!” The truth is if people only knew that in Proverbs 14:31 it says “He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who esteems Him shows favour to the needy.” And in Proverbs 17:5 “He who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker.”
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL does not reveal the exact birth date of The Messiah and Ecclesiastes 7:1 says “A name is better than precious oil, and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.”
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! It’s on December 25th no doubt! Celebrate it so I can get you to worship the false deity found in Ezekiel 8:14. While you’re at celebrate your own birthday with great pomp, because the day of birth is better than the day of death. Aren’t you scared to die?
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: Do not get involved in witchcraft, mediums, divination, sorcerers, wizards, magicians, astrologers, etc. Deuteronomy 18:10-14 “Let no one be found among you who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices divination, or a user of magic, or one who interprets omens or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritis or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these are an abomination to YHWH, and because of these abominations YHWH your Elohim drives them out from before you. Be perfect before YHWH your Elohim, for these nations whom you are dispossessing listen to those using magic and to diviners. But as for you, YHWH your Elohim has not appointed such for you.”
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! It is ok to read your horoscopes every morning with a cup of coffee because it’s harmless fun. Besides today is your luck day! Don’t you want to know if you are compatible with your girlfriend or boyfriend? And there is nothing wrong with fortune-telling, astrology, magicians are only for entertainment, and Ouija boards is just a board game.
· THE ELOHIM OS ISRAEL says: March/April is the beginning of months the New Year on the Hebrew Calendar when Passover (Pesach) was instituted. Exodus 12:1 “And YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt), saying, “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you.
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! January is the beginning of months to celebrate the pagan god Janus
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL gave His SON
· Satan has the world worshipping the SUN
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: Man is supposed to be the head, then through Paul it was confirmed of the hierarchy after the man has completely submitted to The Messiah. Genesis 3:16 “To the woman He said, “I greatly increase your sorrow and your conception-bring forth children in pain. And your desire is for your husband, and he rules over you.” Ephesians 5:21-23 “Subjecting yourselves to each other in the reverence of Elohim. Wives subject yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Adon. Because the husband is the head of the wife, as also ha”Mashiach is head of the assembly, and He is Savior of the Body.” “Husbands are to love their wives as Mashiach also loved the assembly and gave Himself for it, in order to sanctify it and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word.” This is not saying that the husband runs around with a whip, he is just simply to be head of the house, lead, protect, provide, and teach the Word of YHWH to them. When Elohim’s order is thrown off it allows Satan to creep in and destroy things. The husband and wives have different ROLES to play to make a marriage work and not according to the way the world has perceived it.
· Satan says: Psssst! Hey! Happy wife, happy life! Men don’t need to be men anymore, you don’t have to step up and lead, take a backseat and let the independent woman and feminist movements take on the role of a man. I’LL twist everything as I do and make people believe that the woman is a slave and the husband is running around with a whip. The word submission will make ears cringe.
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: He hates divorce and only gave it to man-kind because of the hardness of their hearts. Let no man separate what Elohim has brought together. It’s a vow before Him. Malachi 2:16 “For I hate divorce,” said YHWH Elohim of Yisra’el, “and the one who covers his garment with cruelty,” said YHWH of hosts. “So you shall guard your spirit, and not act treacherously.” And YESHUA said in Mathew 5:32 “But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the matter of whoring (sexual immorality), makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a woman who has been put away commits adultery.”
· Satan says: Pssst! Hey! It’s ok to get a divorce simply because we grew apart or don’t get along. It’s also cool to be swingers and have all sorts of fun to spice up your marriages.
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL gave us natural grass eating cows and seed bearing plants, and herbs to heal us. Genesis 1:29, Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14
· Satan has man trying to be Elohim by tampering with the DNA in food, seedless fruits and vegetables, GMO foods, herbicides, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, and laboratory food in restaurants to increase disease and sicknesses.
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL says: Mathew 7:13-14 “Enter in through the narrow gate! Because the gate is wide and the way is broad-that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in through it. Because the gate is narrow and the way is hard pressed which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
· Satan says: Pssst! Hey! We all worship the same elohim and there are thousands of different paths to reach him, even though channeling or yoga. He implemented the “coexist” movement for false peace and inspires people to say “isn’t it judgmental to think that all other religions are false and that there is only one way? What makes your way right? The Scriptures were written by a man!”
· THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL gave the rainbow as a promise that He would not flood the earth again in Genesis 9:12-13
· Satan reversed it as always and says now it is used to represent homosexuality which I know YHWH hates!
The Scriptures were written by men who had the Ruach ha’Kodesh dwelling within them and speaking through them, which inspired them to write the Words from YHWH. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is breathed by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for straightening, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of Elohim might be fitted, equipped for every good work.”
How is Satan able to deceive so well?
Be he creates doubt, by giving a little bit of truth that leads you to the edge of the cliff then he pushes you off the ledge. Genesis 3:1 says
“And the serpent was more CRAFTY than any beast of the field which YHWH Elohim had made, and he said to the woman, “Is it true that Elohim has said “Do not eat of every tree of the garden?”
Then Genesis 3:4 says:
“And the serpent said to the woman, “You shall certainly not die”
See how he created doubt in Eve? Adam and Eve were not going to die to begin with. They were already going to live eternal life as long as they obey Elohim, but once they ate of the fruit, that is when death fell upon man-kind.
YESHUA even said in Mathew 10:16:
“See, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be WISE AS SERPENTS and innocent as doves.”
We have to remember that Satan was in heaven before humans were ever created and he successfully deceived 1/3 of the angels that fell with him. So this proves that he is the master of deception and that if he was able to deceive angels then he is definitely able to deceive a mere human being. Which is why we need to cling to YESHUA AND HIS WORD! And be obedient to our FATHER YHWH!
Let us stand up and fight for the ELOHIM OF ISRAEL (YHWH, YESHUA, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT)!
