I did a video sometime last year titled “YESHUA is not an idol” because there are many who are denying who YESHUA is or even His existence all together and the great falling away is occurring at rapid pace. YESHUA is the Son of YAHWEH and without Him nobody has a chance to be saved. I will include scriptures showing that YESHUA saying or agreeing that He is the Son, witnesses, explaining a parable to show this, and showing how the demons fear and know who YESHUA is.
Many believe they can call upon the Name of the Father all while rejecting the Son and YESHUA’s words are clear on this:
John 15:23
“He who hates Me hates My Father as well.”
1 John 2:22-23
“Who is the liar, except the one denying that YESHUA is Messiah? This is the anti-messiah, the one denying the Father and the Son. No one denying the Son has the Father. The one confessing the Son has the Father as well.”
Many are calling upon The Father while rejecting the Son and we see that is impossible!
For those who say YESHUA wasn’t there in the beginning as John 1:1-2, Hebrews 1:1-2, Colossians 1:14-17, and many places in the Old Testament as I’ve shown in past videos, then I would like to quickly show other scriptures proving His existence in the beginning:
Psalms 40:7
“Then I said, See, I come in the scroll (volume) of the Book it is written concerning Me.”
YESHUA is speaking well before He became flesh and said that He comes in the scroll (the animal skin, papyrus, or leather the Torah which is the first 5 Books it was written on) was concerning Him. This ties in exactly to what YESHUA said in:
Luke 24:44
“And He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all have to be filled that were written in the Torah of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning ME.” Which makes perfectly with Psalms 40:7 quoted above.
John 5:39
“You search the Scriptures because you think you possess everlasting life in them. And these are the ones that bear witness of Me.” Verse 46 “For if you believed Moses, you would have believed Me, since he wrote about Me.”
Luke 10:17-18
“And the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Adonai, even the demons are subject to us in Your Name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan falling out of the heavens as lightning.”
In order for YESHUA to have seen Satan fall from the heavens as lightning, wouldn’t He have to already be in heaven to see this happen? The following scriptures in John show us where YESHUA came from:
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 8:23
“And He said to them, “You are from below, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.”
John 1:30
“This is He of whom I said, ‘after me comes a Man who has become before me, for He was before me.”
John The Baptist was saying that YESHUA came six months after him being born on earth, but was before him, meaning that YESHUA was here from the very beginning of time.
Micah 5:2 (Septuagint)
“And you, Beyth-Lehem, house of Ephrata, are few in number to be reckoned among the thousands of Yehudah (Judah); yet out of you one shall come out to Me, to a RULER OF YISRA’EL; and His goings out were FROM THE BEGINNING, EVEN FROM THE DAYS OF THE ETERNITY.”
Many Torah observant believers and Muslims say that YESHUA never said that He was the Son of YAHWEH!
Is this true?
Psalms 2:5-9 (Septuagint)
“Then shall he speak to them in his anger and trouble them in His fury. But I have been made KING by Him on Zion His set-apart mountain, declaring the statute of YAHWEH: YAHWEH said to ME, YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN YOU (Brought into existence by or as if by a parent). Ask of Me and I will give you the goyim (nations) as your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall tend them as a Shepherd; You shall dash them in pieces as a potter’s vessel. “
The scripture is clear evidence that YESHUA is speaking and not YAHWEH!
John 9:35-37
“YESHUA heard that they had cast him out, and when he had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the SON OF ELOHIM? He answered and said, “Who is He, My Master, that I might believe in Him?” And YESHUA said to him, “You have both seen Him and He who speaks with you is He.”
John 3:18
“He who believes in Him is not judged, but he who does not believe is judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of ELOHIM.”
Mathew 16:13-17
“Now when YESHUA came into the parts of Kaisereia Philippos; He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say the Son of Man is? And they said, “Some John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “And you, who do you say I am? And Simon Peter answering, said, “You are The Messiah, the SON OF THE LIVING ELOHIM.” YESHUA answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.”
Notice, how YESHUA does not rebuke Peter for saying that He is the Son of YAHWEH? Rather, YESHUA says that Peter is blessed for receiving this revelation because it was given by YAHWEH! We see from scripture that if disciples were ever wrong about something that YESHUA had no problems correcting them:
Mathew 16:22-23
“And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, My Master, this shall not be to You!” But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to Me, for your thoughts are not those of ELOHIM, but those of men.”
Luke 9:54-56
“And His disciples, James and John, seeing it said, “My Master, do You want us to command fire to come down from the heavens and destroy them, as also Elijah did?” But having turned, He (YESHUA) rebuked them and said, “You do not know of what spirit you are, for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.”And they went on to another village.”
Then we see this happen again with the other disciples and YESHUA accepts what they say because it is true and does not rebuke them for it.
Mathew 14:28-33
“And Peter answered Him and said, “Adonai, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to YESHUA. But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Adonai, save me!” And immediately YESHUA stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “O you of little belief, why did you doubt?” And when they came into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat came and bowed to Him, saying, “Truly You are the SON OF YAHWEH.”
Hebrews 1:1-2
“YAHWEH, having of old spoken in many portions and many ways to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by THE SON, whom He has appointed heir of all….
YAHWEH The Father calls YESHUA His SON in the Gospels; and we know that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established:
John 8:17
“And in your Torah also, it has been written that the witness of two men is TRUE.”
Mathew 3:16-17
“And having been immersed (baptized), YESHUA went up immediately from the water, and see, the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit descending like a dove and coming upon Him, and see, a voice out of the heavens, saying, “This is My SON, the Beloved, in whom I DELIGHT.”
Mark 1:11
“And a voice came out of the heavens, “You are My SON, the Beloved, in whom I DELIGHT.”
Luke 3:22
“And the RUACH HA’KODESH (Holy Spirit) descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from the heavens saying, “You are My SON, the Beloved, I DELIGHT in You.”
Now let us take a look at a parable spoken by YESHUA to see what He says. But before we do this let’s examine what YESHUA says about parables:
Mathew 13:10-16
“And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” And He answering, said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, but to them it has not been given. For whoever possesses, to him more shall be given, and he shall have overflowing; but whoever does not possess, even what he possesses shall be taken away from him. Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is completely filled, which says, ‘Hearing you shall hear and by no means understand, and seeing you shall see and by no means perceive, for the heart of this people has become thickened, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their heart, and turn back, and I heal them.”
The Greek word for the heart being thickened is #G3975 Pachyno “Pa-khu-no” which means to rend the soul dull or callous (hardened, no emotion, hard-hearted). So could it be that many who reject YESHUA as the Son of YAHWEH have hard hearts and cannot see the truth that YESHUA spoke in His parables?
Mathew 21:33-44
“Hear another parable: There was a certain man, a house-holder who planted a vineyard and placed a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. And he leased it to farmers and went abroad. And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive its fruit. And the farmers took his servants and beat one, and they killed one, and they stoned another. Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. And at last he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They shall respect my son. But when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and let us possess his inheritance.” “And they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. Therefore, when the master of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those farmers? They said to Him, “Evil ones! He shall bring them to evil destruction, and lease the vineyard to other farmers who shall give to him the fruits in their seasons.” YESHUA said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The Stone which the builders rejected has become the chief Corner-Stone. This was from YAHWEH, and it is marvelous in our eyes? Because of this I say to you: the reign of ELOHIM shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it. And he who falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomever it falls, he shall be pulverized.”
The Master of the Vineyard/House-Holder is “YAHWEH”
The servants are the “Prophets”
The Farmers are the “Native-born Jews”
The Son is “YESHUA”
Other farmers/Another nation is the “gentiles”
YAHWEH (The Master of the vineyard) called His chosen people the (Farmers) Yisra’elites first but they were rebellious; therefore, He called the gentiles and allowed to repentance unto life to be grafted in and obey Him, which is why YESHUA said “the reign of ELOHIM shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it.”
Deuteronomy 32:21
“They made Me jealous by what is not EL, they provoked Me with their worthlessness. But I make them (Israelites) jealous by those who are no people, I provoke them with a foolish nation (gentiles).”
Acts 13:46
“But speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, “It was necessary that the Word of ELOHIM should be spoken to you first (Israelites), but since you thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, see, we turn to the gentiles.”
YAHWEH continually sent His (servants) the prophets to warn His people but they continually rejected them and killed them, which is why YESHUA said “And the farmers took his servants and beat one, and they killed one, and they stoned another. Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them.”
Mathew 23:29-37
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build of the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in the blood of the prophets. Thus you bear witness against yourselves that you’re sons of those who murdered the prophets. Verse 37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, but you would not!”
Revelation 18:23-24
“And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you any more at all. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you any more at all. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your drug sorcery all the nations were led astray. And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and all who were slain on the earth.”
Finally, YAHWEH sent His Son YESHUA and they rejected Him and killed Him, which is why YESHUA said “And at last he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They shall respect my son. But when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and let us possess his inheritance.” “And they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.”
Mathew 12:13-14
“Then He (YESHUA) said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored, as healthy as the other. But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against Him, so as to destroy Him.”
John 1:10-11
“He (YESHUA) was in the world, and the world came to be through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own (Jews), and His own did not receive Him.”
John 19:14-18
“And it was the Preparation of the Pesach, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “See your King!” But they shouted, “Away, away, impale Him! Pilate said to them, “Shall I impale your King? The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar! “At that time, then, he delivered Him to them to be impaled. And they took YESHUA and led away. And bearing His stake, He went out to the so-called Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, where they impaled Him, and two others with Him, one on this side and one on that side, and YESHUA in the middle.”
And the parable was very clear to the Pharisees because they knew YESHUA was talking about them, yet they still did not catch the part about YESHUA being the Son, because they refused to see it just as many are doing today, as we see in Mathew 21:45
“And the chief priests and Pharisees, having heard His parables, knew that He was speaking them.”
YESHUA is the Chief Corner Stone which is He said “YESHUA said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The Stone which the builders rejected has become the chief Corner-Stone. This was from YAHWEH, and it is marvelous in our eyes?”
1 Peter 2:4-7
“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. Because it is contained in the Scripture, “See, I lay in Zion a CHIEF CORNER-STONE, chosen, precious, and he who believes on Him shall by no means be put to shame. This esteem, then, is for you who believe; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the CHIEF CORNER-STONE,” and “A stone of stumbling and a rock that makes for falling,” who stumble because they are disobedient to the Word (YESHUA), to which they also were appointed.”
Luke 2:34-35
“See, this One (YESHUA) is appointed for a fall and rising of many in Yisra’el, and for a sign spoken against-and a sword shall pierce through your own being also-so as to reveal the thoughts of many hearts.”
Many are falling because of the Appointed One YESHUA and their hearts are hardened as to not believe in Him just like the Pharisees.
The heir
Hebrews 1:1-2
“YAHWEH, having of old spoken in many portions and many ways to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by THE SON, whom He has appointed HEIR of all…. Which is why YESHUA said “They shall respect my son. But when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the HEIR. Come, let us kill him, and let us possess his inheritance.”
Build your foundation on the Rock!
Though YESHUA is referring to keeping His commandments in this scripture, there is still an application to be taken from it. By rejecting YESHUA as the Son of YAHWEH you will be building your house on the sand that will fall, so let’s look at YESHUA’s own words concerning this:
Mathew 7:24-27
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does them, shall be like a wise man who built his house on the ROCK, and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on the house and it did not fall, for it was founded on the ROCK!”
Who is the Rock?
1 Corinthians 10:1-4
“For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our ancestors were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and were immersed into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that SPIRTUAL ROCK THAT FOLLOWED, AND THE ROCK WAS MESSIAH.”
YESHUA is the Written Word that became Living Flesh meaning that He is the Torah and Our Rock. So without Him you have no foundation at all; and when the rains, floods, and winds come then you will not be able to stand because your foundation isn’t built on YESHUA because you have rejected Him.
Mathew 7 (continued) “And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not do them, shall be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand, and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and great was its fall.”
The demons even know who He is shouldn’t you?
James 2:19
“You believe that ELOHIM is one. You do well. The demons also believe-and shudder!”
Mathew 8:28-29
“And when He came to the other side, to the country of the Girgashites, two demon-possessed ones met Him, coming out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass that way. And see, they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, YESHUA, SON OF ELOHIM? Have You come here to torture us, before the appointed time?”
Mark 1:23-25 verse 34
“And there was a man in their congregation with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, saying, “Ha! What have we to do with You, YESHUA of Natsareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know who You are: the Holy One of ELOHIM!” Verse 34 And He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and was not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew Him.”
Mark 3:11-12
“And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, “You are the SON OF ELOHIM.” But He warned them many times that they should not make Him known.”
Mark 5:1-7
“And they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of Gadarenes. And when He came out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him, not even with chains, because had had often been bound with shackles and chains but the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was able to tie him. And continually, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones. And seeing YESHUA from a distance, he ran and bowed down to Him, and having called out with a loud voice, said, “What have I to do with You, YESHUA, SON OF THE MOST HIGH EL? Swear to ELOHIM not to torture me.”
Luke 4:41
“And also demons were coming out of many, crying out and saying, “You are The Messiah, the SON OF ELOHIM!” And rebuking them, He did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was The Messiah.”
These accounts have been written for a reason to show us that the demons know who YESHUA is, where He is from, and the power that He has. They fear Him, just as every human being on this earth should! Do not wait until Judgment Day to understand that you should have known Him and feared Him more than the demons did.
Let us all be thankful to our Father YAHWEH for sending His only begotten Son YESHUA who died for our sins as we are about to observe Passover next week. I pray this helps someone who doesn’t believe in Him to accept Him today.
May our Father YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name.
