6th Commandment you do not murder: Including Abortions and snitching!

Shalom my fellow brothers and sisters,

As you know the past several weeks I have been reporting to you all that YouTube is blocking my videos or cutting them off in the middle of recording. We know the enemy wants to block the truth at all costs, but we know he is not going to win. All praises be to YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA!

Exodus 20:13

You do not murder.”

Genesis 9:6

Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood is shed, for in the image of ELOHIM has He Made man.”

Jubilees 6:8

Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed.” For in the image of ELOHIM He made man”

The first recorded murder was in Genesis and we know what YHWH said to Cain after he killed his brother Abel.

Genesis 4:3-12

And it came to be, in the course of time, that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to YHWH. And Abel also brought of the first-born of his flock and of their fat. And YHWH looked to Abel and his offering, but He did not look to Cain and his offering. And Cain was very wroth, and his face fell. And YHWH said to Cain, “Why are you wroth? And why is your face fallen? “If you do well, is there not acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should master it.” And Cain told Abel his brother. “Come, let us go into the field.” And it came to be when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. And YHWH said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s guard? And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. If you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”

Jubilees 4:31-32

At the close of this Jubilee Cain was killed after him the same year; for his house fell upon him and he died in the midst of his house, and he was killed by its stones, for with a stone he had killed Abel, and by a stone he was killed in righteous judgment. For this reason it was ordained on the tablets of the heavens: With the instrument with which a man kills his neighbor with, the same shall he be killed; after the manner that he wounded him, in the manner shall they deal with him”

1 John 3:11-12

Because this message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, not as Cain who was of the WICKED ONE and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his works were wicked but those of his brother were righteous.”

Murder is a wicked act that is not of YHWH but from the enemy. As we know man was created in the image of ELOHIM, so when someone takes a life they are destroying someone created in His own personal image.

Deuteronomy 27:24-25

Cursed is he who smites his neighbor secretly.’ And all the people shall say Ahmein!’ Cursed is he who takes a bribe to slay an innocent being.”

This applies to a “hit man” who is hired by taking a bribe or a payment to take the life of an innocent person and the one who hired him is as guilty just as he is; or a judge taking a bribe to execute someone when all the evidence showed he/she was innocent and pervert justice.

Jubilees 4:4-5

And YHWH reproved Cain because of Abel, because he had slain him, and he made him a fugitive on the earth because of the blood of his brother, and he cursed him upon the earth. And on this account it is written on the tablets in the heavens, “Cursed is he who smites his neighbor treacherously (guilty of or involving betrayal or deception).” And let all who have seen and heard say, so be it (Ahmein).” And the man who has seen and not declared, let him be accursed as the other.”

So this goes against everything that people have been taught about the “snitch code”. They say snitches get stitches and if you witness a murder and testify against them, then you will end up dead; however, scripture tells us that cursed is the man who commits the murder and cursed is the man who witnessed the murder and does not tell it! That person has become an accomplice to murder and could have helped bring justice to the innocent who was slain, so in return you will be cursed. The world has been brainwashed to conceal the truth to preserve their lives and also because the world says you are not cool for snitching. The true meaning of calling darkness light and light darkness. When you are set apart from the world and belong to YESHUA you should not care what others say about you because you are to live in the world, but not be a part of the world.

John 15:18-20

If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, yet I chose you out of the world, for that reason the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they shall persecute you too. If they have guarded My Word, they would guard yours too.”

John 17:14

I have given them Your Word, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.”

Exodus 23:7

Keep yourself far from a false matter, and do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I do not declare the wicked right.”

Proverbs 6:16-19

These six YHWH hates, and seven are an abomination to Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, AND HANDS SHEDDING INNOCENT BLOOD (including abortions), a heart devising wicked schemes, feet quick to run to evil, a false witness breathing out lies, and one who causes strife among brothers.”

Jubilees 7:28-29

For whoever sheds man’s blood, and whoever eats the blood of any flesh, shall all be destroyed from the earth. And there shall not be left any man that eats blood, or that sheds the blood of man on the earth, nor there left to him any seed or descendants living under the heavens. For they shall go into the grave, and they shall descend into the place of condemnation, and they shall be removed into darkness of the deep by a violent death.”

Romans 13:9-10

For this, “You shall not commit adultery,” You shall not MURDER,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other command, is summed up in this word, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no evil to a neighbor. Therefore, love is completion of the Torah.”

We know ELOHIM is forgiving and merciful and that if one truly repents of any of these things that He may forgive them because He is the ultimate Judge. But why take that chance?

Galatians 1:13

For you have heard of my FORMER BEHAVIOR in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the assembly of ELOHIM and ravaged it.”

1 Corinthians 15:9-10

For I am the least of the emissaries, who am not worthy to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the assembly of ELOHIM. But by the favor of ELOHIM I am what I am, and His favor toward me was not in vain, but I labored much more than they all, yet not I, but the favor of ELOHIM with me.”

1 Timothy 1:12-14

And I thank Messiah YESHUA our Master who empowered me, because He counted me trustworthy, putting me into service, me, although I was formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, an insulter. But compassion was shown me because being ignorant I did it in unbelief. And the favor of our Master was exceedingly increased, with belief and love which are in Messiah YESHUA.”

YESHUA forgave Paul and used Him for His purposes; however, I would not encourage anyone to purposely take someone’s life because it is clearly a violation of the fifth commandment. I’m pointing out that YESHUA is merciful and the Judge!

Abortions

1 Enoch 69:12

And the fifth was named Kasdeya: this is he who showed the children of men all the wicked smiting of spirits and demons, and the smiting of the embryo in the womb, that it may pass away…”

Psalms 127:3

Look, children are an inheritance from YHWH, the fruit of the womb is the reward.”

Exodus 13:1-2

And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, Sanctify to Me ALL THE FIRST-BORN, the one OPENING THE WOMB among the children of Yisra’el among MAN and among beast, it is MINE.”

Luke 2:21-23

And when eight days were completed for Him to be circumcised, His Name was called YESHUA, the Name given by the messenger before He was conceived in the womb. And when the days of her cleansing according to the Torah of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to YHWH-as it has been written in the Torah of YHWH, “Every male who OPENS THE WOMB shall be called Holy to YHWH.”

Abortions definitely should be avoided and we can see the demonic origin of abortions in the Book of Enoch. Children are an inheritance from YHWH and belong to Him as we see from the scriptures above; and we are created in His image; therefore, we do not know what plan YHWH had for that child to work towards his kingdom.

 For those who say that the child is not a living being in the womb are wrong because they have a heart-beat, they receive oxygen and nutrients from the umbilical cord, they can hear and they pick up on the voices of their parents in the womb, and we know from Jeremiah that YHWH formed him in the womb just as we all are. No one has the right to take a life or even vote for a party that supports this act which makes one an accomplice to murder. Most people that vote agree with 99% of a politicians policies but reject the abortion portion and rightly so!  However casting votes to get them into office allows them to get their plan accomplished and your vote propelled them into the position. So voting is choosing between two of the lesser evils, which is why I personally do not get involved with politics in any form; YESHUA is the only King we need.

Jeremiah 1:5

Before I FORMED you in the womb I knew you, and before you came out of the womb I sanctified you-I appointed you a prophet to nations.”

Ecclesiastes 11:5

As you do not know what is the way of the wind, or HOW THE BONES GROW IN THE WOMB of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of ELOHIM who makes ALL.”

Again, if anyone has committed these acts in their youth, out of unbelief, or before they knew YESHUA, pray to Him and repent because His is forgiving and He is the ultimate Judge! This had to be addressed because there are many out there who do not believe that a child in the womb is a living being.

Other ways to commit murder

1 John 3:15

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

Mathew 5:21-22

You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment. But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, “Raka!” (Empty or foolish) shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, “You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gey-Hinnom”

Firstly, a majority of the world is quickly to blurt out and call someone a FOOL, but YESHUA says anyone calling someone a fool is in danger of hell’s fire and hating your brother without cause makes you a murderer just as John states in 1 John 3:15. Murder is produced from the heart and from the mouth speaks the overflow of the heart. So when you start calling someone names you are speaking how you really feel about them in your heart.

Mathew 15:18-20

But what comes out of the mouth comes FROM THE HEART, and these defile the man. For out of the heart come forth wicked reasoning’s, MURDERS, adulteries, whorings, thefts, false witnessing, slanders.

Mathew 12:34

Brood of adders!” How are you able to speak what is good being wicked? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.”

Sirach 34:20-22

Whoever brings an offering from the goods of the poor, does as one that kills the son before his dad’s eyes. (Robbing the poor). The bread of the needy is their life; he who deprives him of it is a man of blood. He who takes away the livelihood of his neighbor slays him; and he who deprives the laborer of his wage is a shedder of blood.”

I know most people feel like that haven’t committed murder because they have not done it physically, but we see that hatred in your heart brings forth murder, hatred toward your brother is murder, depriving the poor of food or robbing him is murder, he who deprives his neighbor of work or something he depends on his murder, and he who cheats someone out of money by not paying them after they have done work for you is a shedder of blood as well.

Tobiyah 4:14

Do not let the wages of any man, who has worked for you, remain with you, but give it to him from your hand; for if you serve ELOHIM, He shall also repay you. My son, be considerate in all that you do, and be wise in all your ways.”

And never commit suicide even though this is not murder, but for anyone who is contemplating about it do not do it, because our bodies are not our own!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Or do you not know that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, which you have from ELOHIM, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price, therefore esteem ELOHIM in your body and in your spirit, which are of ELOHIM.”

 Your life is a gift from ELOHIM and the Holy Spirit dwells within you; therefore, you cannot bring esteem to ELOHIM with your body by killing yourself, plus how will you have the chance to repent when you are dead?

Ezekiel 33:8-9

When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked one, you shall certainly die! And you have not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked one shall die in his wickedness, and his blood I require at your hand.” But when you have warned the wicked to turn from his way, and he has not turned from his way, he shall die in his wickedness, but you have delivered your being.”

So if you see someone sinning and you do not speak up and warn the person, then that person will die in his wickedness and YHWH will require their blood of you, because you did not speak up. Or if YHWH shows a dream or vision to you to warn someone and you do not tell the person because you were afraid of how they might respond, then you are disobeying His command and they could have been what they needed to make a change. However if you warn the person out of love and they refuse to listen then the blood will be on their own heads. But we must always speak against sin out of love.

As always please share this with someone who needs to hear it and if you have been involved with either of these always repent and let YESHUA was your clean! All praises be to our Father YHWH and His Son YESHUA!

Command #5: Honor your dad and mom

Realistically, we should honor our parents every day to make them proud and not to disrespect those who raised us. However a majority of the world needs to be told when to respect and their love their parents on the worldly implemented “Mother’s day and Dad’s day”, which both have ties to paganism. It is the worship of The Queen of heaven and Father Sky. Huge celebrations, gifts, and cards are given to their parents on these days and most will turn around and disobey them the very next day after the pagan celebration is over with. Satan is trying to present a sort of false worship by uplifting your parents on a certain day, the same way the world uplifts and venerates themselves on their birthdays.

Jeremiah 10:2

Thus said YHWH, “Do not learn the way of the gentiles…”

Mom’s day, dad’s day, birthdays, and holidays not found in the Bible is what the world has done and learned the way of the gentiles. The point is simply to honor them every day and not ONE day out of the year, especially on the days that they have selected because they were chosen on purpose for dark reasons. What does Scripture say about honoring your parents:

Exodus 20:12

Respect your dad and your mother so that your days are prolonged upon the land which YHWH your ELOHIM is giving you.” Notice YHWH doesn’t say honor them one day out of the year?

Deuteronomy 5:16

Respect your dad and your mother, as YHWH your ELOHIM has commanded you, so that your days are prolonged, and so that it is well with you in the land which YHWH your ELOHIM is giving you.”

Leviticus 19:3

Each one of you should revere his mother and his dad, and guard My Sabbaths. I am YHWH your ELOHIM.”

Leviticus 19:32

Rise up before the grey-headed. And you shall favor the face of an old man, and shall revere your ELOHIM. I am YHWH.”

Ephesians 6:1-3

Children obey your parents in the Adon (Master), for this is right.” Respect your dad and mother,” which is the first Command with promise, in order that it might be well with you, and you might live long on the earth.”

Colossians 3:20

Children, obey your parents in all, for this is well-pleasing to the Adon (Master).

Sirach 3:1-16 (Included in 1611 King James Bible)

Hear me your dad, O children, and do accordingly, that you may be safe. For YHWH has given the dad esteem over the children, and has confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons. Whoever esteems his dad makes an atonement for his sins; and he who esteems his mother is as one who stores up treasure. Whoever esteems his dad shall have joy from his own children; and when he makes his prayer, he shall be heard. He who esteems his dad shall have a long life; and he who is obedient to YHWH shall be a comfort to his mother. He who reveres YHWH shall esteem his dad, and shall do service unto his parents, as to his masters. Esteem your dad and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon you from them. For the blessing of the dad establishes the houses of children; but the curse of the mother roots out foundations. Do not rejoice in the shame of your dad; for your dad’s shame is no esteem unto you. For the esteem of a man is from the esteem of his dad; and a mother in shame is a reproach to the children. My son, help your dad in his age, and do not grieve him as long as he lives. And if his understanding fails, have patience with him; and do not despise him when you are in your full strength. For the relief for you dad shall not be forgotten; and instead of sin, it shall be added to build you up. In the day of your affliction it shall be remembered; your sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather. He who forsakes his dad is as a blasphemer; and he who displeases his mother is cursed of ELOHIM.”

Sirach 7:27-28

Esteem your dad with your whole heart; and do not forget the sorrows of your mother. Remember that you were brought forth by them; and how would you repay them what they have done for you?”

Those who completely disrespect their parents have forgotten that they can never repay them for what they have done for you. They fed you when you could not cook or do for yourself, they provided food and shelter before you knew anything about bills or money thinking that money grew on trees and ATM machines just gave out free money, they kept the lights on and the water running, they bathed you, sent you to school, helped you with homework, helped with projects that you brought to them at the last minute, brought you medicine throughout the night when you had the flu or any illness, helped you get a job, gave you advice so you could avoid pitfalls they already experienced, cosigned for you, helped you learn how to drive, bought cars for you, put clothes on your back, and so much more; as the Book of Sirach says don’t neglect your parents when you are older in their full strength and forget what they did for you.

Sirach 22:3-5

An undisciplined man is the shame of his dad that brought him forth; and a daughter is brought forth to his loss. A wise daughter brings an inheritance to her husband; but she who lives dishonestly is her dad’s heaviness. She who is bold shames both her dad and her husband, and they both shall despise her.”

If the child of the parents is dishonest and behaving badly or uncontrollable then it will bring shame to the parents and in return they will be dishonored. Remember we must honor them and not the opposite because this affects more than yourself. Would anyone want to purposely grieve their parents?

Jubilees 7:20

And in the twenty-eighth Jubilee Noah began to command his sons’ sons the Laws and Commands, and all the Right-Rulings that he knew, and he urged his sons to observe righteousness, and to cover the shame of their flesh, to bless their Creator, and HONOUR DAD AND MOTHER…”

 After all of these scriptures it should be clear that honoring your parents does not begin and end on the false pagan holidays of so-called “mother’s day” and “dad’s day”. As Paul said, honoring them is the first command with promise and YHWH said that you will prolong your days by obeying this command. Do all you can to help them in their time of need if you have it and do not be like the Pharisees:

Mark 7:10-11

For Moses said, ‘Respect your dad and your mother,’ and, ‘He who curses dad or mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say, ‘If a man says to his dad or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from is, is Korban (that is, a gift),” you let him do naught at all for his dad or his mother, nullifying the Word of ELOHIM through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such-like you do.”

Korban is a gift dedicated to ELOHIM, and the Pharisees used this as a golden ticket to not help their parents by saying the money or gift was “dedicated”; so instead of honoring their parents by helping them they chose to hold on to the goods by saying it was dedicated to ELOHIM. YESHUA knew what they were doing with their deception because He knew their hearts and their hearts were set on greed and not love.

Sirach 22:9-10

If children live decently, and have means, they shall cover the lowliness of their parents. But children, being haughty, through pride and lacking discipline, stain the nobility of their relatives.”

So do not use the Korban excuse, rather if you have means then help your parents to the best of your ability and do not despise them when you are in full strength as an adult and throw them into nursing homes because you feel like they have lived their lives which is why The Book of Sirach says the relief of your dad will not be forgotten when you don’t despise him when you are an adult in full-strength. Give your parents and call and show them that you love them, so that ELOHIM will smile upon you. Do not wait for them to pass away to tell them that you love them!

Blessings to you all in YESHUA’s Name

 

4th Command: The Sabbath Day! For Christians too!

Shalom my fellow brothers and sisters,

YouTube cut this broadcast short as well, which further backs the fact that they do not want the world to know the truth. Please share this with those who need to hear this important message.

I would like to point out that most believers will say that they believe in the 10 commandments; however, when it comes to the fourth commandment they manage to skip over it. Shouldn’t that set off an alarm?

Jubilees 1:14

And they shall FORGET ALL My Torah and ALL My Commands and ALL My Right-Rulings, and shall go astray as to new moons, and SABBATHS, and Festivals, and Jubilees, and Laws.”

Isaiah 24:5

For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot (Plural form of Torah), changed the Law, broken the everlasting Covenant.”

This has happened today as 99% of the world has FORGOTTEN the Torah and changed the Laws, especially the Sabbath Day! And all the other Sabbaths such as Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Tabernacles, Shavuot aka Pentecost, Yom Teruah aka Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles, and the 8th Day Closing Assembly. Do Christians have to observe the fourth commandment which says Remember the Sabbath Day or Shabbat (pronounced Sha-bot) to keep it holy? Does it apply for the Jews only? Is this day more important to our Creator than believers thought? Let us examine further and follow YESHUA, The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

The Sabbath was instituted during creation!

Jubilees 2:30

On this we (the angels) guarded the Sabbath in the heavens before it was made known to any flesh to guard the Sabbath thereon on the earth.”

Genesis 2:1-3

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their array. And on the seventh day ELOHIM completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And ELOHIM blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all His work which ELOHIM in creating had made.” So YHWH created everything in 6 days and rested on the 7th during creation meaning that this day applies to ALL who want to join in covenant with Him, and the Book of Hebrews confirms this:

Hebrews 4:9-10

So there REMAINS A SABBATH KEEPING FOR THE PEOPLE OF ELOHIM. For the one, having entered into His rest, has himself also rested from his works, as ELOHIM from His own”

We are told to enter into His rest, and rest on the Sabbath as ELOHIM did from His own work as we read in Genesis 2:2-3. And who are the people of ELOHIM as Hebrew says? Anyone who accepts YESHUA as Messiah and Son of YHWH is grafted into the Nation of Yisra’el just as a native-born (Ger). The Book of Isaiah confirms this because YHWH lists the criteria for the non-native born (gentile converts) the modern day Christians:

Isaiah 56:6

Also the sons of the foreigner (non-native born/gentile) who join themselves to YHWH, to serve Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, to be His servants, ALL WHO GUARD THE SABBATH, AND NOT PROFANE IT, and hold fast to My Covenant...”

So as we can see that we must love the Name of YAHWEH and the Sabbath Day is for ALL who believe in YHWH and want to walk in Covenant with Him, there are no other options! And what is the Covenant we are to hold fast to? YESHUA is!

Hebrews 12:24

And to YESHUA the Mediator of a NEW COVENANT, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaks better than Abel.”

The criteria comes as a package deal, so rejecting The Sabbath means you reject the New Covenant in blood of YESHUA as with all the other commandments! But did YESHUA keep the Sabbath? Yes! YESHUA condemned the Pharisees for their man-made traditions they added to the Sabbath making it a burden on men, they followed the Oral Law believing that YHWH gave a written Torah and an Oral Torah to Moses at Sinai. So they added many laws by the so-called “rabbis in Judaism” and added 39 prohibitions to the Sabbath saying things like you can’t write, tie your shoe, push buttons, etc. So their law was a mixture of the written Torah and flooded with more Oral Torah that they passed down from generation to generation of THEIR interpretation of the Law that they held ABOVE YHWH’s written commands.

Luke 4:16

And YESHUA returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding country. And He was teaching in their congregations, being praised by all. And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And ACCORDING TO HIS PRACTICE, He went into the congregation on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.”

We see Luke says according to His practice, meaning that He went into the congregations every Sabbath Day! YESHUA is the written Word that became Living flesh and He wouldn’t abolish any Laws being that He is the Word Himself!

Moses knew the Sabbath before the 10 commandments!

Exodus 16:25-29

And Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to YHWH, today you do not find it in the field. Gather it six days, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there is none.” And it came to be that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. And YHWH said to Moses, “How long shall you refuse to guard My Commands and My TOROT? (Plural form of Torah). “See, because YHWH has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for two days on the sixth day.”

 How did Moses know about the Sabbath in Exodus 16 before it was written four chapters later in the 10 commandments in Exodus 20? That’s because the Sabbath was instituted during creation and he understood that the Laws are eternal and must be obeyed.

Importance of the Sabbath! A sign between YHWH and His people!

The importance and meaning of the Sabbath Day to The ELOHIM of Yisra’el is established through His original ancient language, the Lashone ha’Kodesh (The Holy Tongue), which He used to speak the world into existence (Jubilees 12:25-26). The original form of this ancient language was the “Otiot” pronounced oat-tee-oat which are pictographs (signs) that express His language in picture form. The Sabbath Day using the Otiot is spelled (Taw, Beyt, Shin). It is important to remember that in Hebrew we read from right to left. To have a better idea, I have explained the meaning of the symbols below:

1.     Shin (pronounced sheen) is a picture of two front teeth which is used to separate or to cut.

2.     Beyt (pronounced bay-eat) is a picture of a house and family and represents YESHUA.

3.     Taw is a picture of two crossed wooden sticks that Christians call a cross. It is used as a sign, signature or mark.

Combining these words in His original language reveals a very important message. The Sabbath is Shin (Those who are SEPARATED from the world), Beyt (Who belong to YESHUA, who are in YHWH’s House and His family) and Taw (Those who have YHWH’s MARK, SIGNATURE.)

Putting it all together the Sabbath means: Those who have been separated from the world, who belong to YESHUA who are in YHWH’s House and His family, and those who have YHWH’s mark, sign, or signature on them. This shows the importance of this special, set apart day as it is a memorial to our Creator forever. Which is why YHWH says this is Exodus.

In Exodus 31:13-14 YHWH says:

And you, speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying, ‘My Sabbath you are to guard, by all means, for this is a SIGN (TAW) between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, YHWH, kadosh (sanctify) you.”

Ezekiel 20:12

And I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a SIGN between them and Me, to know that I am YHWH who makes them sanctified.”

Ezekiel 20:20

And sanctify My Sabbaths, and they shall be a SIGN between Me and you, to know that I am YHWH your ELOHIM.” 

Jubilees 2:1

And the messenger (angel) of the presence spoke to Moses according to the Word of YHWH, saying, “Write the complete history of the creation, how in six days YHWH ELOHIM finished all His works and all that He created, and guarded the Sabbath on the seventh day and sanctified it for ALL AGES, and appointed it as a SIGN for all His works.”

Jubilees 2:17-18

And He gave us a GREAT SIGN-the Sabbath day that we should work, six days, but guard the Sabbath on the seventh day from all work. And all the messengers (angels) of the presence, and all the messengers of holiness-the two great classes-He has bidden us (the angels) to GUARD THE SABBATH WITH HIM (YHWH) IN THE HEAVENS AND EARTH.” Verse 28 “Everyone who observes it and guards the Sabbath thereon from all his work, shall be holy and blessed throughout all days like us.”

The Sabbath is very important as we see it’s a sign between YHWH and His people, but now we have further evidence of this importance, seeing how YHWH and the messengers are guarding the Sabbath in heaven just as we should on earth. Which is why YESHUA said in the Master’s (Lord’s Prayer) “Let your will be done on earth AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.”

 Sabbath is Hebrew for Rest which falls on Saturday (Friday evening at sunset to Saturday evening at sunset.) The Hebrew word for Sunday is “Yom Reeshone” and nowhere in scripture does YHWH or YESHUA say remember the “Yom Reeshone” to keep it holy. The enemy attempts to take the worship away from YHWH and counts on the fact that believers will say one of the common phrases, “it doesn’t matter” “I’m saved through grace alone,” “the law is done away with,” or “once saved always saved” and the most popular one “that is for the Jews only!” However, none of these sayings are scriptural based, but purely fleshly responses. Even Paul says there is only ONE belief; therefore, Paul is confirming the prophecy that YHWH gave us in Isaiah 56:6 that ALL must keep the Sabbath to belong to Him and be in Covenant with Him.

Ephesians 4:4-6

ONE Body and ONE Ruach (Spirit), as you were called in ONE expectation of your calling; ONE ADON (Master), ONE FAITH/BELIEF, ONE IMMERSION/BAPTISM, ONE ELOHIM, and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

So if there is only ONE faith and Paul himself kept the Sabbath that means that there is no such thing as Sunday worship NOWHERE in the Bible.

Apostle Paul kept the Sabbath!

Acts 13:42-44

And when the Jews went out of the congregation, the gentiles begged to have these words spoken to them on the next SABBATH. And when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and the worshipping converts followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in the favor of ELOHIM. And on the NEXT SABBATH almost all the city came together to hear the Word of YHWH.”

Based off this passage alone we see that the gentiles who were the early converts were hearing the words of Paul and Barnanbas on the Sabbath. The early converts did not hear the words spoken by Paul or Barnabas on a Sunday. Why? The early converts saw and knew the truth (which is why they are called converts) and were attending on the Sabbath day because there is only ONE FAITH!

Acts 17:1-3

And having passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonike, where there was a congregation of the Jews. And ACCORDING TO HIS PRACTICE, Paul went into them, and for THREE SABBATHS was reasoning with them from the Scriptures, explaining and pointing out that ha’Mashiach had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and that, “This is ha’Mashiach, YESHUA, whom I proclaim to you.”

Acts 18:1-4

And after this Paul left Athenai and went to Korinthos. And he found a certain Jew named Aqulas, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italia with his wife Priscilla-because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome-and he came to them. And because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and was working, for they were tentmakers by trade. And he was reasoning in the congregation EVERY SABBATH and won over both Jews and Greeks.”

So we Paul went into the congregations on the Sabbath as it was his custom, meaning that he did this all the time. Nowhere does it mention he went into the synagogues on Sunday. His custom of teaching in the congregation on the Sabbath is what our Messiah YESHUA did as we read in Luke 4:14-16.

Other proof of the Sunday deception!

Ezekiel 8:16

And He brought me into the inner court of the House of YHWH. And there, at the door of the Heykal (Temple) of YHWH, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the Temple of YHWH and their faces toward the east, and they were bowing themselves eastward to the SUN.”

Many will say well I don’t physically bow down to the sun so I’m good, but the truth is that many are bowing down to the sun in the spiritual realm by pledging allegiance to whom you serve by the day of worship.

You either serve YHWH and walk in covenant with Him on the Sabbath, or you accept Sunday and pledge allegiance to the enemy. This is all about obedience and worship! Remember the commandments are how we KNOW and LOVE Him, so He wants to see who really loves Him by keeping His commandments.

2 Esdras 6:45-46

On the fourth day You commanded that the sun should shine, and the moon give its light, and the stars should be in order; and commanded them to DO SERVICE TO MAN, who was to be made.”

Notice how the sun, moon, and stars were created to serve mankind? Yet, mankind is serving and worshiping what was created to serve us? Every culture worships the sun, which is worship of the creation instead of the Creator. Satan has made the sun the focus of creation and worship.

The Sabbath Day is the FOURTH COMMANDMENT but has been rejected by most of the world for Sun worship on Sun-day. So this makes sense that the sun, moon, and stars were created on the FOURTH DAY and that the plagues in Revelation at the sound of the FOURTH TRUMPET and the FOURTH BOWL of wrath both affects the sun, moon, and stars. Since the world has trusted and worshiped the Sun, moon, and stars then then they will be affected by them.

The result of sun worship

Revelation 8:12

And the fourth messenger sounded, and a third of the SUN, was struck, and third of the MOON, and a third of the STARS, so that a third of them were darkened. And a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.”

Revelation 16:8-9

And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the SUN, and it was given to him to burn men with fire. And men were burned with great heat, and they blasphemed the Name of YHWH who possesses authority over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give Him esteem.”

YHWH has His day and the enemy has his day

Isiah 14:13 says:

“You said in your heart (Satan), “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of ELOHIM; I will sit enthroned on the mount of congregation, on the sides of the north.”

 It’s a known fact that enemy wants to be worshipped as elohim, not only by the passage cited above but also because he tried to make YESHUA worship him in the wilderness. Mathew 4:9

And he said to Him, “I will give You all these things if you will fall down and worship me.”

He tries to duplicate everything that YHWH does with enough truth and then a lie to deceive you, but notice how he will always come up short. For example, (i) the number 7 is used to represent YHWH , but Satan is marked by the number 6;  (ii) YHWH has Shabbats (Sabbath) and Satan mocks him with his Sabbats; (iii) YHWH has Passover and Satan has Easter; (iv) YHWH has Feast of Tabernacles and Satan has Thanksgiving; (v) YHWH said don’t sacrifice children yet Satan requires them. I hope I have made my point clear. But if not, let me take this opportunity to elaborate further. Deuteronomy 6:4-8 says:

“Hear, O Yisra’el: YHWH our ELOHIM, YHWH is One! And you shall love YHWH your ELOHIM with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might. And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart, and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up, and shall BIND THEM AS A SIGN ON YOUR HAND (actions), and they shall be as FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES (foreheads/meditating on His Word).”

Again, YHWH marks His people who keep the Sabbath and His people bind His commands as a SIGN on their foreheads and hands. How does the enemy mock this? See Revelations 13:16-17:

“And he causes all, both small and great, and rich and poor, and free and slave, to be given a mark upon their RIGHT HAND or upon THEIR FOREHEADS, and no one should be able to buy or sell except he that has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

This is about who you are pledging allegiance to! Whom are you serving? So as I stated earlier many will say well I don’t physically bow down to the sun so I’m good, but the truth is you are bowing down not only in the spiritual realm, but also with the mark upon your head and right hand because of your thoughts on serving the enemy and your actions on serving the enemy.

Let’s get back to the deception!

The Roman Catholic Church admitted they changed the day of worship from the Sabbath to Sunday[DP1] . This information can be found anywhere being that they are not trying to hide it, but boast in it. Amredeemed.com says “Prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the Catholic Church alone. The Catholic Church says, by my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the Holy Catholic Church” (Thomas Enright, CSSR, President, Redemptorist College [Roman Catholic], Kansas City, MO Feb 18, 1884.

Cardinal Gibbons, in Faith of Our Fathers, 92nd ed. P. 89, freely admits, “You may read the bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we [the Catholic Church] never sanctify.”

“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change [Saturday/Sabbath to Sunday] was her act…And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things” (H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons.).

“Sunday is our mark of authority…the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” (Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1, 1923.)

 However, this is not the first time this has happened. Constantine, a Roman Emperor, was a pagan sun deity worshipper who saw a flaming cross in the sky and took that as a cue to convert to Christianity but refused to leave his pagan roots. As a result, he merged the two religions (Christianity and sun worship called Mithraism), but kept his Sunday worship intact and the citizens of Rome followed.

As we can see, throughout history, the enemy, through his followers have persecuted the people of YHWH for keeping His Sabbath day! Why? Because Satan knows the truth. Remember Revelation 12:17 says this:

And the dragon was enraged with the woman, 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.”

It’s clear that the enemy only wants to make war with those who are obeying the Commands of YHWH and believe in His Son YESHUA! If someone is not doing these requirements then Satan will not bother with them, because they are already walking in rebellion.

What does YHWH say about it?

Exodus 20:8 says:

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

YHWH just explained that He blessed the Sabbath (Saturday) the 7th day of the week and set apart from all the other six days. Yet, believers skip over this commandment and somehow turn the 10 commandments into the 9 commandments! YESHUA said in His closing statements at the end of Revelation 22:19, “ [I]f anyone takes away from this scroll of prophecy, ELOHIM will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, that are described in this book.” Remember, YESHUA said if you love Me you will keep my commandments (see John 14:21-24 and 1 John 5:3), so I exhort the world to start showing Him the love He deserves and start by setting aside the Sabbath.

Is the Sabbath just for the Jews?

In Leviticus 23:2, YHWH says:

“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: These are MY Appointed Times (appointments to meet with you), the Appointed Times of YHWH, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.”

YHWH says these are MY appointed times (appointments) to meet with His people. He did not say “These are the Jewish appointed times.” These Holy Days (appointed times) are for those who say they follow YHWH and YESHUA and are joined one with Yisra’el and have become grafted in as the native-born. And amongst all these appointed times, like Passover, is the weekly 7th day Sabbath! He wants to meet with us EVERY SATURDAY, so let us keep that appointment!

Even Abraham kept the Torah and commandments before there was ever a Jew. The Jews came through Jacob who had 12 sons, known as the 12 Tribes of Israel, and one of them was named Judah (Jews).

Genesis 26:5

“Because Abraham obeyed My voice and guarded My Charge: My Commandments, My Laws, and My Torot (Torah) Instructions.”

Sirach 44:19-20

Abraham was a great father of many people; there was none like him in esteem; who KEPT THE LAW of the Most High, and was in COVENANT with Him.”

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 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.”

So we see that Abraham keep the Commands, Laws, and Torah of YHWH, so if we are the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise, then are you doing what Abraham did to walk in Covenant with YHWH?

Ephesians 2:11-19

“Therefore remember that you ONCE gentiles in the flesh (non-native born Israelite), who are called ‘the circumcision’ made in the flesh by hands, that at that time you were without Messiah, excluded from the citizenship of Yisra’el and strangers from the Covenants of promise, having no expectation and without ELOHIM in the world. But now in Messiah YESHUA you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of ha’Mashiach. For He is our peace, who has made both one, and having broken down the partition of the barrier, having abolished in His flesh the enmity-the law of the commands in dogma (man-made law or authority)-so as to create in Himself one renewed man from the two, thus making peace, and to completely restore to favor both of them unto ELOHIM in one body through the stake, having destroyed the enmity by it. And having come, He brought as Good News peace to you who were far off (gentiles), and peace to those near. Because through Him we both have access to the Father by ONE Ruach (Spirit). So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of ELOHIM.”

Paul is saying that gentiles were far from the promise and Covenant but through the blood of YESHUA are now grafted into the promise and are no longer foreigners but fellow citizens of Yisra’el and therefore, a follower of The Way, The Truth, and the Life YESHUA. Being grafted in means you must obey His commandments and The Torah.

YESHUA even said in Mark 2:27, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. So The Son of Man is also Master of the Sabbath.”

YESHUA is saying that the Sabbath day was created as a gift for man to rest.  Man does not have the authority to place his own theology as to why they don’t keep it, that’s why it is not “man” for the Sabbath. Also, YESHUA is Master of The Sabbath which means He owns the Sabbath day and rules over it. He was there when The Sabbath was instituted at creation. And notice He says The Sabbath is for man and didn’t say the Sabbath is made just for Jews?The Sabbath commandment is to:

1.     Do no work (producing/production), you or your man/maidservant (Yes going shopping or dining at a restaurant fits in this category because you are causing others to work.)

2.     Set the Day apart and Keep it Holy (Exodus 20:8, Leviticus 23:3)

3.     Refrain from your interest or speaking your own idle words, just worship and praise YHWH for all He has done for you. (Isaiah 58:13-14)

4.     Assemble with believers in person or online (Leviticus 23:3)

5.     Refrain from buying or selling commerce (Jeremiah 17:19-27, Amos 8:5, Nehemiah 13:15-22).

6.     Rest

Why Sunday worship?

As mentioned in the introduction, the enemy knows that The Sabbath Day is a sign between YHWH and His people; therefore, he made a substitute to convince people that the fourth commandment of observing the Sabbath is not important and moved it to Sunday (sun-god.) so that many would rebel. Believers will also tell you that they worship on Sunday because YESHUA rose on Sunday. However, that statement simply proves that even while He was in the tomb that He continued to rest on the Sabbath and rose on the first day of week. Furthermore, that Sabbath was a High Sabbath meaning the 1st Day of Unleavened Bread which is a commanded no work day; therefore, proving He rested and honored both rest days the weekly Sabbath and the Holy Day 1st Day of Unleavened Bread. Therefore it was a Sabbath within a Sabbath and He honored both.

Believers will also say “I can worship or esteem Him on any day.” While it is true that we are to worship Him every day, ELOHIM sanctified, blessed, and commanded us to rest on the seventh day the Sabbath.

 Colossians 2:8 says

“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary matters of the world, and not according to Messiah.”

Colossians 2:16-17

Let no one therefore judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a Festival or a new moon or Sabbaths-which are a shadow of what is to come-but the Body of ha’Mashiach.”

Paul is saying do not let anyone judge you for knowing the TRUTH, because they are a shadow of what is to come, meaning FUTURE EVENTS! For example one of the Appointed Times were are commanded to observe is the Feast of Tabernacles when we dwell in booths for 7 days, and guess what? Zechariah 14 shows that when YESHUA comes to reign for 1,000 that ALL nations will have to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles or have no rain! Therefore, proving that The Sabbath and All Holy Days and Appointed Times are a shadow of what IS TO COME!

HalleluYAH! All praises be to our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA! Please, share them important message.

First-Fruits on April 19th: Important timeline! Read ASAP!

Shalom my fellow brothers and sisters in YESHUA. I tried to record this broadcast on YouTube; however they are blocking this content after two attempts, and then on the third attempt they will not even let me record. So, please share this with everyone who needs to see this, because we know that the enemy is attacking the truth and I want us ALL to walk together in truth. How do I know? Not once in the video did I mention the Illumaniti or the New World Order. I read only Scripture and they blocked this information. All praises be to YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA, I’m rejoicing!

 Leviticus 23:9-16

 “And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, “speak to the children of Yisra’el, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest. ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before YHWH, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it. ‘And on that day when you shall wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a male lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to YHWH, and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to YHWH, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine. ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your ELOHIM-a Law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for your selves, seven completed Sabbaths. Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you county fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to YHWH.”

                                            

 Passover was on the 7th and the 8th was the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (15th day of 1st month) and we know that YESHUA rose on the 3rd day. The problem is that we have all been taught, myself included, that the third day after Pesach is first-fruits the day YESHUA rose as our first-fruits. YESHUA did rise on the third day to fulfill scripture; however, He didn’t have to be resurrected on that day to fulfill it. Reading Paul’s words we see the words “first-fruit” and automatically make the connection to the first-fruits in Leviticus 23:20. YESHUA is the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:20 meaning that those who are in the grave that lived for YESHUA will be resurrected as He was.

 

1 Corinthians 15:20-22

 “But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, and has become the first-fruit of those having fallen asleep. For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a Man. For as all die in Adam, so also all shall be made alive in Messiah.”

 

1 Thessalonians 4:16

 “Because the Adon (Master) Himself shall come down from the heavens with a shout, with the voice of a chief messenger/angel, and with the trumpet of ELOHIM, and the dead IN Mashiach shall rise first. Then we, the living who are left over, shall be caught in the clouds to meet the Adon in the air…”

 

Enoch 49: 1-3

 “For wisdom is poured out like water, and esteem failed not before Him for eternity. For He is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness, and unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow, and have no continuance; because the ELECT ONE (YESHUA) stands before YHWH of hosts, and His esteem is forever and ever, and His might unto all generations. And in Him dwells the spirit of wisdom, and the spirit which gives insight, and the spirit of understanding and of might, and the spirit of THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN ALSLEEP IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

 

So do we observe first-fruits and the counting of the omer during the Feast of Unleavened Bread?

 Leviticus 23 reveals that YHWH never overlapped or mixed the Feasts. YHWH separates them by saying “AND then YHWH spoke to Moshe”. Calendars today are lumping First-Fruits in with the Feast of Unleavened Bread; therefore beginning the count on what the world knows as Easter, while the observance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is still going.

 For example most started counting the omer (the 50 day count to Shavuot/Pentecost) on April 12th, however this article will show that we are to begin counting on April 19th after The Feast of Unleavened Bread to arrive at the 15th day of the THIRD MONTH which is June 7th on our Gregorian calendars. Keep the 15th day of the 3rd month in mind because the Scriptures below will show that is the day when Shavuot is to be celebrated.

 

The Appointed Times are separated and do not mix or overlap!

So Passover is on the 14th day of 1st month (Abib), feast of unleavened bread is on the 15th-21st of 1st month (Abib). And First-Fruits is on the 26th day of the 1st month of (Abib) AFTER the Feast of Unleavened bread is completed; then that morrow after the Sabbath is first-fruits which is April 19th.  First-Fruits is tied to Shavuot so it cannot overlap with The Feast of Unleavened Bread, because they are separate.

 Scriptural Timeline:

The Israelites left Egypt on 15th day of 1st month which is the first day of the feast of unleavened bread:

 Exodus 12:17

 “And you shall guard the Matzah (Feast of Unleavened Bread 15th Day of 1st Month), for on this SAME DAY I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. And you shall guard this day throughout your generations, an everlasting Law.”

 And then exactly TWO MONTHS later on the 15th Day of the 3rd MONTH the Israelites arrive at Sinai.

Exodus 19:1

In the THIRD MONTH after the children of Yisra’el had come out of the land of Egypt, on this day (on that same day 15TH) they came to the Wilderness of Sinai.” For they departed from Rephidim, and had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Yisra’el camped there before the mountain.”

 So basically, if we don’t start the count of First-Fruits on the 26th day of 1st month to get to the 15th day of the 3rd month, then Shavuot the beginning of the barley harvest will be celebrated five days too soon, before the Israelites even entered into Sinai. The Book of Jubilees confirms this:

 Jubilees 15:1

 “And in the fifth year of the fourth week of this Jubilee, in the THIRD MONTH, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH (15th Day) Abram celebrated the Festival of the First-Fruits (Shavuot) of the grain harvest.” The Book of Enoch says there are only 30 days in a month; therefore, the middle of the month is the 15th day.

 Jubilees 16:13

 “And she bore a son in the THIRD MONTH. And in the MIDDLE OF THE MONTH (15th Day) at the time of which YHWH had spoken to Abraham, on the Festival of the First-Fruits (Shavuot) of the Harvest, Isaac was born.”

 So we see that Abraham celebrated Shavuot also known as First-Fruits in Jubilees because  the two are connected by the 50 day counting of the omer, which is why it’s important not to start counting during the Feast of Unleavened Bread because they are separated.

 

 The messenger/angel goes into great detail about the two-fold meaning of The Festival of Shavuot and First-Fruits together:

 Jubilees 6:15-21

And He gave to Noah and his sons a sign that there should not be a flood on the earth again. He placed a rainbow in the cloud for a sign of the everlasting Covenant that there should not be a flood again on the earth to destroy it all the days of the earth. For this reason it is ordained and written on the tablets of the heavens, that they should celebrate the FESTIVAL OF SHAVUOT IN THIS MONTH ONCE A YEAR to renew the Covenant every year.” Verse 19 “But Abraham observed it, and Isaac, and Jacob, and his children observed it up to your days, and in your days the children of Yisra’el forgot it until you celebrated it anew on this mountain. And you shall command the children of Yisra’el to observe this Festival in all their generations for a Command unto them; one day in the year in this month (3rd MONTH) they shall celebrate the Festival. For it is the Festival of Shavuot AND THE FEAST OF FIRST-FRUITS: This Feast is twofold and double nature: according to what is written and engraved concerning it, celebrate it.”

Again, we know that this Festival/Appointed Time is in the THIRD MONTH because the beginning of Jubilees 6 says:

Jubilees 6:1

And on the new moon of the THIRD MONTH he went out from the ark, and built an altar on the mountain.” And we have seen that Abraham celebrated Shavuot on the 15th day of the THIRD MONTH.

The Festival of Shavuot is the same festival Abraham celebrated and was called the Festival of First-Fruits because they are connected and twofold and we have to remember that we slaves in Egypt. Which I’ll cover as Shavuot approaches for us to celebrate, ELOHIM willing.

Jubilees 44:1-8

 “And Yisra’el took his journey from Haran from his house on the new moon of the THIRD MONTH, and he went on the way of Beersheba, and he offered an offering to the ELOHIM of his dad Isaac on the seventh of this month. And Jacob remembered the dream that he had seen at Beyth El, and he feared to go down to Egypt. And while he was thinking of sending word to Joseph to come to him, and that he would not go down, he remained there seven days, if it came to be he should see a vision as to whether he should remain or go down. And he celebrated the HARVEST FESTIVAL OF THE FIRST-FRUITS with old grain, for in all the land of Canaan there was not a handful of seed, for scarcity of food was over all the beasts and cattle and birds, and also over man.” And on the sixteenth (16th) YHWH appeared to him, and said to him, Jacob, Jacob.” YHWH spoke to Jacob on the 16th after he celebrated Shavuot on the 15th day of 3rd month.

 So if we count the 50 days starting on April 19th (on our Gregorian calendar) which is the 26th day of the 1st month on YHWH’s calendar, then we will arrive in the middle of the 3rd MONTH (15th Day) when Abraham celebrated it, Noah, and also the same day when the children of Yisra’el entered into the wilderness of Sinai. So Shavuot will be observed this year on June 7th a NO WORK day. It is important to get the exact days of YHWH’s appointed times because this is what the messenger/angel says concerning the days of YHWH:

Jubilees 6:32-35

And you shall command the children of Yisra’el that they observe the years according to this reckoning: THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS (364 days), and these shall constitute a complete year, and they shall not disturb its time from its days and from its Festivals; for all shall fall out in them according to their witness, and they shall not leave out any day nor disturb ANY FESTIVALS. But if they neglect and do not observe them according to His Command, then they shall disturb all their seasons, and the years shall be dislodged from this order; and they shall NEGLECT THEIR LAWS. And all the children of Yisra’el shall forget, and shall not find the path of the years, and shall forget the new moons, and seasons, and Sabbaths, and they shall go astray as to all the order of the years. For I know, and from this time on I shall declare it to you, and it is not of my own devising; for the Book is written before me. And on the tablets of the heavens the division of days is ordained, lest they forget the FESTIVALS OF THE COVENANT and WALK ACCORDING TO THE FESTIVAL OF THE GENTILES after their straying and after their ignorance."

Firstly, we see how important it is to get the days right, otherwise the days will fall upon unclean days and also that YHWH only recognizes 364 days in a year and not the 365 year lie the world has been taught and follows, plus the Book of Enoch confirms the 364 days:

Enoch 74:12-14

And the sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto everlasting; but complete the years with PERFECT JUSTICE IN THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS. In three years there are one thousand and ninety-two days ( 1,092 days divided by 3= 364), and in five years; one thousand eight hundred and twenty days  1, 820 days divided by 5=364), so that in eight years there are two thousand nine hundred and twelve days ( 2, 912 days divided by 8=364.)

What are we to do on it First Fruits?

As we read in Leviticus 23 that the Israelites were not to eat any grain of the new harvest until they brought their initial crops (first-fruits) and bring the barley sheaf to the priest so he could wave it before YHWH to accept the future crops and begin counting down the 50 days to the next Appointed Time which is The Festival of Shavuot aka The Festival of First Fruits aka Pentecost (50 in Greek).

Leviticus 23:14

And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought AN OFFERING to your ELOHIM.”

Even if we wanted to do a burnt offering we cannot because we have no temple, we are not in Jerusalem, and we know that YESHUA gave Himself up once and for all with His own blood and not the blood of bulls and goats. This is what Paul says about how we can also apply this by living holy lives and being obedient to our ELOHIM!

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

1 Peter 2:4-5

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

A couple of ways we can apply an offering in our modern times in diaspora (scattered from Yisra’el) is to follow YESHUA and keep the commandments as a spiritual offering and others could possibly be a donation to those in need of food, an orphanage, a shelter, a food kitchen. Other than that we count down the 50 days to get to Shavuot which is on June 7th this year.

 As always to pray to see which direction YHWH has planned for you to give an offering for Him on this day. All praised be to YHWH and His Son YESHUA! And please share this with those you need to see the importance of these days.

 

3rd Command Do not use My Name in Vain! Are you doing this?

Exodus 20:7

You do not bring the NAME of YHWH your ELOHIM to naught, for YHWH does not leave the one unpunished who brings His NAME to naught.”

Sirach 23:10

For as a servant that is continually beaten shall not be without a bruise; so he who swears NAMING ELOHIM continually shall not be guiltless.”

Would it shock you to find out that Our Creator Has a personal Name like you do? Right here in the 10 commandments, YHWH tells us that He has a personal Name! So why haven’t believers been taught His Name? Why was His Name removed from His own Book, The Hebrew Scriptures (The Bible)? The world has been taught to replace YHWH’s Name with titles like Lord or God. We as humans get upset when someone won’t call us by our name, just picture someone saying “Hey come here you! Or come here human” that person would feel disrespected! So how does YHWH and His Son feel about it?

Think of it this way, if you were a cashier at a grocery store then that means your title is a “cashier”, cashier does not suddenly become your name. An example of this would be (Johnny the cashier) the same way YHWH is our ELOHIM who is ALL, The Aleph and Taw, The beginning and The End. So, we see YHWH is His Name and His Title is ELOHIM the Creator and Possessor of heaven and earth.

This article will cover the importance of YHWH’s Name, what scripture says about calling upon His Name, and other ways believers are using His Name in vain by being  liars and hypocrites.

Names in Hebrew have meaning and function!

Firstly, we can see that through deception YHWH’s Name has been removed from His own Scriptures and have been replaced with generic titles like Lord and God which are not even Names. And for those who like to swear using curse words including the Name of ELOHIM as they do so often in movies are unknowingly or knowingly bringing His Name to naught. The Hebrew Word is “Shav” Strongs #7723 which means: emptiness, vain, deceitful, deception, false, empty, lies, worthless.

Names do not mean anything to us in our modern-day society, they are used to identify someone, but in Hebrew, YHWH’s original language, the pictograph (OTIOT) which means “signs” shows us the importance of names. Names in Hebrew have meaning and function and conveys the real meaning YHWH wanted to get across in His language.

Sirach 1 in the Prologue says:

Therefore let me plead that you read it with good intent and attention, and to pardon us for where we may seem to come short in some words, which we have labored to interpret. For the same words spoken in HEBREW, AND TRANSLATED In TO ANOTHER TONGUE, DO NOT HAVE THE SAME FORCE IN THEM; and not only this but the Law itself, and the prophets, and the rest of the Books, have GREAT DIFFERENCE, when they are spoken in their own language.”

Jubilees 12:25-27

And YHWH ELOHIM said, “Open his (Abraham’s) mouth and his ears, that he may hear and speak with his mouth, with the LANGUAGE which has been revealed.” For it had ceased from the mouths of all the children of men from the day of the overthrow (Genesis 11 Tower of Babel). And I (the messenger/angel) opened his mouth, and his ears and his lips, and I began to speak with him in HEBREW in the TONGUE OF THE CREATION.”

Yes, YHWH confounded the languages in Genesis 11, so all the languages are from Him, but I truly believe He wants us to seek Him and speak His language the best we can, because as you see from the Scriptures above, that Hebrew translated into other languages don’t have the same force.

YHWH’s Name (Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey) means He does His work through His Ruach (Spirit), pitching His tent with you, expecting you to pitch your tent with Him in Ruach, not in the flesh.  How can you replace His powerful Name and the meaning of it and replace with a title like Lord?  YESHUA said in:

John 4:24

“Elohim is Ruach (Spirit) and those worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”

YHWH’s Name has power and reveals His power and will for His creation and how He does His work through The Holy Spirit. We know this as Paul writes in

Romans 8:13-14

For if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit (Ruach) you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live. For as many as are led by the Ruach (Spirit) of ELOHIM, these are sons of ELOHIM.”

YESHUA’s Name in Hebrew means SALVATION!

Mathew 1:21

And she shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name YESHUA for He shall save His people from their sins.”

YESHUA saved the world from sin and death so that we would die to sin and live eternally with Him. Have you ever wondered why all the Hebrew names were changed? YESHUA became Jesus (The original King James 1611 spells Jesus as (Iesus pronounced Yay-soos), Yeshayau became Isaiah, Yirmeyahu became Jeremiah, but Nebuchadnezzar, Balak, Balaam, and Og King of Bashan all stayed the same? So once their Names were removed for titles or changed to a completely different Name, then it changes the meaning bringing it to naught.

Is this nitpicking or is it part of what we need to know for our Salvation?

Revelation 14:1

And I looked and saw a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s NAME written upon their foreheads.”

How can our Father’s Name be written on your forehead if you never knew what His Name was?

Revelation 22:4

And they shall see His face, and His Name be upon their foreheads.”

Revelation 9:4

And it was said to them that they shall not harm the grass of the earth, or anything green, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of YHWH upon their foreheads.” The seal upon the foreheads as we see is His Name.

Exodus 28:36-38

“And you shall make a plate of clean gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet: HOLINESS TO YHWH. “And you shall put it on a blue cord, and it shall be on the turban-it is to be on the front of the turban. “And it shall be on the FOREHEAD of Aaron…”

As we can see in Exodus, YHWH was already showing a foreshadow of His Name being on the foreheads of the High Priests and in Exodus 19:5-6, we are called to be a reign of priests and a holy nation and YESHUA is the Mediator of the New Covenant and He returns we will serve Him as kings and priests (Revelation 1:6, Revelation 5:10, Revelation 20:6).

Exodus 19:5-6

And now, if you diligently obey My voice, and shall guard My Covenant, then you shall be My treasured possession above all the peoples-for all the earth is Mine-and you shall be to Me a reign of priests and a holy nation.” These are the words which you are to speak to the children of Yisra’el.”

Isaiah 56:6

Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to YHWH, to serve Him, and to LOVE THE NAME OF YHWH, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and hold fast to My Covenant…”

So part of joining yourself to YHWH is loving His Name, NOT profaning the Sabbath, and holding fast to His Covenant through the blood of YESHUA.

So the Name of YHWH is His mark on our foreheads and we must love the Name of YHWH. Plus the Sabbath Day is His Sign between He and His people (Exodus 31:13 and Ezekiel 20:12.) Both of these are very important as the world has learned to reject them both! Trust me, Satan does not want you to know the Only Name that can save you, yes His Name and His Sabbath’s are that important!

Acts 4:12

“Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

Notice Acts 4:12 says there is no other Name (singular) and not Names? This again shows the importance of His Name.

YHWH is patient but wants us to come to the truth!

Acts 17:30

Truly, then, having overlooked these times of ignorance, Elohim now commands ALL men everywhere to repent…”

Firstly, I would like to say that The Most High YHWH knows what is in the hearts of those who are truly seeking Him, knows that we love Him, and He hears when we pray to Him, even though we may not know His Name initially. We all, myself included came to know Him as Jesus; however, He led me to call Him by the Name He was born with.

He wants us to continue to learn and dig for the truth and to come out of Babylon and her ways. Hosea 4:6 says “My people perish for their lack of knowledge.”   The saying goes “once you know better you do better.” Do not continue in tradition, especially after seeing the truth. There is a lot of deception as Satan attempts to divert us off the path of truth. 

Revelation 12:9 says

“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 earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.”

“Astray” is defined as: away from the correct path or direction; into wrongdoing, into error, into sin, into iniquity, away from the straight and narrow, or away from the path of righteousness.

The world has started to pull The Creator of Heaven and earth down to their level instead of climbing to get to His. We cannot forget that we serve a Holy Elohim who is worthy of praise and His mercy endures forever. We can start our personal relationship Him by knowing His Name.

Remember Deuteronomy 12:32 says

“All the Words I am commanding you, guard to do it-do not add to it nor take from it.”

Revelation 22:18-19

“For I witness to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, YHWH shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, YHWH shall take away his part from the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this Book.”

As we know many take away from The Scriptures daily, and my focus here is that many unknowingly are following in the tradition they have been taught by those who have taken AWAY from His Word, which YHWH commanded the world not to do in Deuteronomy and YESHUA in Revelation, including Their Names!

The Hebrew language has power!

 Genesis 11:1

“And it came to be, all the earth had one language and one speech.”

This passage is overlooked and emphasizes something very important. The whole world was speaking the same language and that language was what YHWH, YESHUA, and The Ruach ha’kodesh (Holy Spirit) used to speak the world into existence. That language would be Hebrew, the Lashone ha’kodesh (pronounced La-shown, ha-ko-desh, which means The Holy Tongue). Therefore, when Enosh called upon the Name of YHWH, he would have said His real actual Name which is YHWH  (YAHWEH).

Genesis 4:26 says

“And to Seth, to him also a son was born. And he called his name Enosh. Then it was begun to CALL UPON THE NAME OF YHWH.”

Jubilees 12:25-27

And YHWH ELOHIM said, “Open his (Abraham’s) mouth and his ears, that he may hear and speak with his mouth, with the LANGUAGE which has been revealed.” For it had ceased from the mouths of all the children of men from the day of the overthrow (Genesis 11 Tower of Babel). And I (the messenger/angel) opened his mouth, and his ears and his lips, and I began to speak with him in HEBREW in the TONGUE OF THE CREATION.”

Genesis 12:8

And from there he (Abraham) moved to the mountain east of Beyth El, and he pitched his tent, with Beyth El on the west and Ai on the east. And he built there an altar to YHWH, and CALLED ON THE NAME OF YHWH.”

Genesis 13:4

To the place of the altar which he (Abraham) had made there at first. And there Abram CALLED ON THE NAME OF YHWH.”

Satan is hoping and banking on the fact that believers will not dig around in ELOHIM’s original language to really find out what our Father was saying to us, but  rely on watered down translations which eventually loses its meaning altogether. For example the KJV Bible leads all of YHWH’s Appointed Times as Feasts, when in actuality all of them are not feasts. Because the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is a day of fasting so you would not be eating. The Hebrew says Appointed Times as days He wants to meet with us and not all of them require eating.

Zephaniah 3:9 saying:

“For then I shall turn unto the peoples A CLEAN LIP (PURE LANGUAGE), so that they all call on the Name of YHWH, to serve Him with one shoulder.”

The pure language He spoke was Hebrew to create the world just as the Book of Jubilees says,  the same language that was spoken by the entire world before He confused the languages in Genesis 11. We will serve Him with one shoulder meaning that we will all be one people in His eyes as they days of old. So I feel that it is important that we get back to the our Hebraic roots of our faith, walk in the ancient paths, and learn His Holy Language to the best of our ability to get the real meaning of The Names and Scripture and His Laws.

YAHWEH’S Name removed 7,000 times?

Jeremiah 23:26-27

Till when shall it be in the heart of the prophets?-the prophets of falsehood and prophets of the deceit of their own heart, who try to make My people forget My Name by their dreams which everyone relates to his neighbor, as their fathers FORGOT My Name for Ba’al.”

Just as in the days of Jeremiah the world has removed or forgotten the Name of YHWH for Ba’al which translated into English means Lord. Tell me that isn’t true today? I hear many say “Call upon the Name of Lord”, so what is His Name?

Now if scripture tells us that Satan has deceived the whole world, then how deep does this deception go? Let us examine a few things, YHWH’s own name was removed from His own Book over 7,000 times for sinister reasons and that is because Satan does not want us to know His Name because he knows that there is power in His Name.

 So wherever you see LORD in all caps is where YHWH’s name belongs. Satan knows that calling on YHWH and YESHUA is important, but the question is, do we? As I always say, is that Satan knows what is in Scripture as he tried to use it against YESHUA in the wilderness. But, how did YESHUA respond? With Scripture by saying “It is written” because He is the written Word that became Living Flesh. We must understand His Word in order to combat the enemy.

Some in Judaism will even say that His Name is too holy to say and that tradition of men is not found in the Bible at all! They replaced YHWH with Adonai (AH-DOE-NIGH) which is a TITLE that means “My Master” and “Hashem” which literally means “The Name”! So how can “The Name” be His Name?

The proper way to use “Adonai” is by saying Adonai YHWH which means “My Master YHWH.”

 This practice was learned by the Jews while they were in Babylonian exile. The pagan nation of Babylon had a practice of not saying the name of their “gods” because they felt their names were too holy and that tradition was passed down to tell people that the pronunciation of the Name YHWH was lost or His Name is too holy to say! Yet interestingly enough, the calendar used in Judaism for the name of the months like Tammuz are the names of pagan deities. So they will say the names of foreign deities, but not YHWH. YHWH told us to call on His Name and not do as the pagan nations.

What does scripture say about calling on His name?

The Name of The Father YHWH and His Son YESHUA are important as They are ONE!

Genesis 4:26

To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh, then men began to call upon the NAME of YHWH.”

Genesis 12:8

And from there he (Abraham) moved to the mountain east of Beyth El, and he pitched his tent, with Beyth El on the west and Ai on the east. And he built there an altar to YHWH, and CALLED ON THE NAME OF YHWH.”

Genesis 26:25

“So he built an altar there and called upon the NAME of YHWH, and pitched his tent there; 'and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.”

Psalm 105:1 and 1 Chronicles 16:8

“Oh give thanks to YHWH, call upon His NAME; make known His deeds among the peoples.”

Exodus 3:15

“And Elohim said moreover unto Moses, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, YHWH Elohim, of your ancestors, The Elohim of Abraham, The Elohim of Isaac, and The Elohim of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my NAME for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.” Notice He didn’t say “this is my title unto all generations.”

Acts 4:12

“Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” What name is that?

Philippians 2:8-11 says

“And having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake. YHWH, therefore, has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name, that at the NAME of YESHUA every knee should bow, of those in the heaven and those on the earth and  of those under the earth, and every tongue should confess that YESHUA ha’ Maschiach is Master, to the esteem of YHWH the Father.”

Proverbs 30:4

Who has gone up to the heavens and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who established all the ends of the earth? What is His NAME, and what is the NAME of His Son?” YHWH and His Son’s Name is YESHUA! This is a challenge for those who don’t know His Name! Remember YHWH’s Name is His mark on your foreheads, will you use His Name?

Psalm 79:6

“Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You, And upon the kingdoms which do NOT call upon Your NAME.” This scripture is very telling! For those who do NOT call upon His Name, should that be you?

Psalm 44:5

“Through You we push our enemies; Through Your NAME we tread down those who rise up against us.”

Psalm 44:20

“If we have forgotten the NAME of our Elohim, or stretched out our hands to a foreign mighty one, would Elohim not search this out?” YHWH knows if you are not calling upon His Name or calling on a false one. Korah is saying YHWH would have known this and not approved of it.

Acts 8:37

And Phillip said, “If you believe with all your heart, it is permitted.” And he answering, said, “I believe that YESHUA ha’Mashiach is the Son of YHWH.”

This response came from a eunuch from Kush with great authority who came to Jerusalem to worship. The point is he was from another country and said the Name of YESHUA.

Psalms 68:4

Sing to Elohim, sing praises to His NAME. Raise up a highway for Him who rides through the deserts, by His NAME YAH, and exult before Him”

Isaiah 42:8

I am YHWH, that is My NAME, and My esteem I do not give to another, nor My praise to idols.”

John 17:26 YESHUA says

And I have made Your NAME known to them, and shall make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me might be in them, and I in them.”

 

Psalms 22:22

I make known Your NAME to My brothers”

Lamentations 3:55

“I called on your NAME, O YHWH, out of the lowest pit.”

In the 10 Commandments YHWH says in Exodus 20:7

You do not bring the NAME of YHWH your Elohim to naught, for YHWH does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught.” Those who brought His Name to nothing by replacing it with titles, or misrepresenting YHWH by not being a light, but claiming that you follow Him qualifies as well.

Even when we pray at night we say “Our Father who are in heaven, hallowed be thy NAME”

Other ways of using His Name in vain

If you are claiming to be a follower of YESHUA and someone says they are going to do something and don’t do it, then that person is not a person of their word, it makes one a liar.

Mathew 5:37

But let your word ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ And what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.”

 If you aren’t loving all people, or every other word is a filthy curse word, or being a hypocrite, a false teacher leading people astray, or saying you will pray for someone but you never do it, then you are using His Name in vain! Because we are representatives of YESHUA on earth, so people should see Him in us in all that we do.

Many of people have been turned away from coming to know YESHUA because of family members and churches being the biggest hypocrites, greedy for gain, and gossipers more than those who do not know YESHUA! This turns them away from the faith and in the end bringing His Name to naught as ELOHIM’s representative on earth. Also, those in churches saying don’t commit adultery, but having affairs, others say don’t fornicate, yet they getting drunk, and feel like they can be evil 6 days out of the week and repent on 1. This is not how things work with our ELOHIM!

Romans 2:22-24

You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abominate idols, do you rob temples? You who make your boast in the Torah, through the transgression of the Torah do you disrespect ELOHIM? For “The Name of YHWH is blasphemed among the gentiles because of you,” as it has been written.

Sirach 1:29

Do not be a hypocrite in the sight of men, and take heed what you speak.”

Sirach 32:15

He who seeks the Law shall be filled with it; but the hypocrite shall stumble over it.”

Sirach 33:2

A wise man does not hate the Law; but he who is a hypocrite in it, is like a ship in a storm.”

Mathew 5:16

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and esteem your Father which is in heaven.:

If a believer is not letting their light shine, but is bringing His Name to naught by being a liar or hypocrite, then others will begin to think all believers are the same; therefore, you are not being a light to the world so that they will praise YHWH. Instead the exact opposite will happen that Paul spoke of in Romans 2:22-24 and they will blaspheme His Name.

All praises be to Our Father YHWH and His Son YESHUA! YESHUA died for us so that we may live and not burn forever! He set us free from the law of sin and death by breaking the chains of Satan at the execution stake and redeeming us by His blood to our Father YHWH. Now that we know His NAME, let us pray in His NAME and strengthen our relationship with Him even further, HalleluYAH!

2nd Command No graven images: Dolls, Statues, Stuffed animals

Exodus 20:4-6

You DO NOT MAKE for yourself a carved image, or any LIKENESS of that which is in the heavens above, or which in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, YHWH your ELOHIM, am a jealous EL (God), visiting the wickedness of the ancestors on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My Commands.”

Statues of YESHUA or angels that are in the likeness of the heavens above (and we do not even know what YESHUA looks like); statues or toys of men or women: such as Barbie dolls, teddy bears, stuffed animals, statues, action figures by McFarland Toys, G.I. Joes, busts of presidents and those in the Hall of Fame are forbidden. The same for statues of birds, cattle, creeping things that are in the earth beneath; and statues or images of fish, whales, or other sea creatures that are in the waters under the earth.

So anything in the LIKENESS of YHWH’s creation like dolls which represent a human being to animal life should not be found in your homes. A Hebrew word for graven image is Pasal (paw-sal) in Strong’s #6458 which means: to hew, hew into shape, carved; short definition: cut.

Brown-Driver-Briggs defines this as: hew, hew into shape

And when YHWH said “You do not MAKE any graven image” The word for make is Asah Strong’s #6213 meaning- to make, acquire, keep, use, prepare, work, execute, fashion, bring forth, to produce, to bring about, to be made. So based of this definition graven images should not even be made to begin with unless it’s at the command of YHWH and we will discuss this later in the article.

Further guidelines and instructions about graven images!

Deuteronomy 4:15-18

Therefore, diligently guard yourselves, for you saw NO FORM when YHWH spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, lest you should DO CORRUPTLY and make (asah)  for yourselves a carved image in the FORM OF ANY FIGURE- the LIKENESS of MALE or FEMALE, the likeness of any beast that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the heavens, the likeness of any creature that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth..”

This is a very detailed command by YHWH which matches the Hebrew word Asah and Pasal about making, fashioning, bringing forth, producing, to be made. YHWH says do not make, carve, hew into shape, fashion, or produce ANY FIGURE in the likeness of any of these! Now ask yourself, do you have any of these items in your home that are carved images, busts, statutes, dolls, or figurines in the likeness of a life form that YHWH has created?

Deuteronomy 4:23-24

Guard yourselves lest you forget the Covenant of YHWH your ELOHIM which He made with you, and shall make for yourselves a carved image in ANY LIKENESS YHWH your ELOHIM  has commanded you. For YHWH your ELOHIM is a consuming fire, a jealous EL.”

Romans 1:22-23

Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and changed the esteem of the incorruptible ELOHIM into the LIKENESS of an image of corruptible man, and of birds and of four-footed beasts and of reptiles.”

Jubilees 11:4-5

And they made for themselves molded images (a hollow form or matrix for giving a particular shape, to work into a shape), and they each worshipped the idol, the molded image which they had made for themselves, and they began to make CARVED IMAGES and unclean LIKENESSES, and EVIL SPIRTS ASSISTED them into committing TRANSGRESSION and uncleanness.”

Making molded images and carved images is demonic as we see from this scripture in Jubilees, because the demons assisted them in making them. YHWH said do make them at all; therefore, they wouldn’t even have the chance to think about worshiping it if it never existed in the first place. So being that the demons are the exact opposite of YHWH in direct rebellion, they want believers to rebel and help humans make these abominations and transgress against the second commandment.

The common justification is, well I don’t bow down to them!

The same way man makes justifications for breaking the Sabbath, the dietary laws, and for sin is the same way someone will justify having these carved images in their homes. YHWH clearly said do not make them in the form or LIKENESS of ANY figure, yet those who admire their images so much make statements like: “Well, I don’t bow down to them!” Man defines worship as bowing down to something, but we all know you can commit spiritual idolatry against YHWH by not being faithful to Him, including sin and you are not physically bowing down to sin; you are just committing the act. Those same believers would agree that people worship money, yet they don’t place a stack of money on an altar to worship it.

YHWH’s definition is not “dependent” on what man does, or does not do with the object. He makes NO distinction between an object that is worshipped and one that is NOT worshipped because they are simply graven images in His sight in the likeness of a LIVING BEING and from making or acquiring one (buying one.)

 The majority of the world agrees that the statues in the Catholic Churches are wrong and that they are graven images, so what is the difference of them being in their churches and believers having them in their homes? Additionally, if these graven images were never created as YHWH commanded, then the Catholic faith would never have had the opportunity to worship the image of Mary to begin with. YHWH showed NO form in the bush consumed with fire or on the mountain, because He knew that man would immediately craft an image and worship it, so they decided to settle for the golden calf.

Deuteronomy 7:25

They carved images of their mighty ones you are to burn with fire. Do not covet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it, for it is an abomination to YHWH your ELOHIM.  “And do not bring an abomination into your house, lest you be accursed like it. Utterly loathe it and utterly hate it, for it is accursed.”

We know what happens when you bring an accursed object in your home. Let’s look at:  Joshua 7:11-12:

“Israel has sinned; they have violated My covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions. That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made liable to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.” Verse 24 Then Joshua, and all Yisra’el with him, took Akan son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons.”  And Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? YHWH troubles you today! Then all Yisra’el stoned him with stones.”

The point is when you disobey the Word of YHWH and take an item and place it among your possessions like Akan did; then it makes it harder for you to stand against your enemies amongst other things. YHWH said He was not with them until they removed the accursed items and I draw the comparison with the carved images He said do not make.

Deuteronomy 27:15

Cursed is the man WHO MAKES a carved or molded image, an abomination to YHWH, the work of the hands of the craftsman, AND (in addition to) puts it up in secret.” And all the people shall answer and say, “Ahmein!”

Habakkuk 2:18

Of what use shall a carved image be? For its maker has carved it: a molded image and teacher of falsehood! For the maker trusts what he has made: to make dumb idols!

So YHWH says cursed is the man who even makes a carved or molded image which is an abomination to Him AND in addition to decides to hide it. The modern day definition of a graven image is: a carved idol OR representation of a god used as an object of worship. Notice the definition says OR meaning it can be carved object like a doll OR someone could worship it too. It’s a two-fold definition and we know YHWH said do not create them to begin with.

What about the mercy seat?

Exodus 25:18-22

And you shall make two cherubim (kerubim) of gold, make them of beaten work, at the two ends of the lid of atonement. And make on cherubim at one end, and the other cherubim at the other end. Make the cherubim from the lid of atonement, at its two ends. And the cherubim shall be spreading out their wings above, covering the lid of atonement with their wings, with their faces toward each other, the faces of the cherubim toward the lid of atonement And you shall put the lid of atonement on top of the ark, and put into the ark the Witness which I give you. And I shall meet with you there, and FROM ABOVE THE LID OF ATONEMENT, FROM BETWEEN THE TWO CHERUBIM which are on the ark of the Witness, I shall speak to you all that which I command you concerning the children of Yisra’el.”

So Moses was commanded to make cherubim (an image in heaven) on the mercy seat that sits above the Ark of the Covenant and the esteem/glory of YHWH resided in the middle of the two covering cherubim. The Ark of the Covenant was behind the 2nd veil, the Holy of Holies, where the High Priest (Kohen ha’Gadol) would enter in only ONCE a year by HIMSELF on Yom Kippur to make atonement for himself, his household, and the assembly of Yisra’el. So the High Priest was the ONLY ONE in the entire community of Yisra’el who would have seen these images of the cherubim because no one else was permitted enter into the Holy of Holies or they would die.

YHWH was bringing a piece of heaven down to earth. The mercy seat represents the throne of YHWH judging with His mercy and kindness in the middle and the two cherubim on the right and left were covering His esteem. Satan before being cast out was a covering cherub over the throne which is a high position:

Ezekiel 28:14

You WERE the anointed cherub THAT COVERED. And I placed you, you were on the holy mountain of ELOHIM. You walked up and down in the midst of stones of fire. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.”

Further evidence YHWH was bringing a copy of heaven to earth is even in our prayers, we say “Let your will be done on earth AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!” This shows that what is on earth is a shadow of what is in heaven:

Hebrews 8:1-2

Now the summary of what we are saying is: We have such a Kohen ha’Gadol (High Priest), who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Greatness in the heavens, and who serves in the Miqdash (Temple) and of the TRUE TENT, which YHWH put up, and not man.” Verse 4-5 “For if indeed He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Torah, WHO SERVE A COPY AND SHADOW OF THE HEAVENS, as Moses warned when he was about to make the Tent For He said, “See that you make all according TO THE PATTERN SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN.”

Hebrews 9:23

It was necessary, then, that the COPIES OF THE ONES OF THE HEAVENS should be cleanses with these, but the ONES OF THE HEAVENS themselves with better slaughter offerings than these.”

So we see that the earthly priests served in a copy and a shadow of the one in heaven where YESHUA serves as our High Priest! Moses didn’t have to come up with the design because YHWH showed him the one in heaven, just He did with the mercy seat. Other examples:

Revelation 11:19

And the Mishkan (Tabernacle) of ELOHIM was opened in the HEAVENS, and the ark of His Covenant was seen in His Temple…”

Revelation 14:17

And another messenger (angel) came out of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) WHICH IS IN THE HEAVENS, and he too held a sharp sickle.”

Revelation 15:5

And after this I looked and saw the Temple of the Tent of Witness IN THE HEAVENS WAS OPENED.”

What about the serpent?

Numbers 21:5-9

“And the people spoke against ELOHIM and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of the Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our being loathes this light bread.” And YHWH 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 YHWH and against you. Pray to YHWH to take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed on behalf of the people. And YHWH said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and put it on a pole. And it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.”

John 3:14-15

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so the Son of Man has to be LIFTED UP, so that whoever is believing in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life.”

The children of Yisra’el sinned against YESHUA in the wilderness, who was the Angel of YHWH who was sent before them:

1 Corinthians 10:9

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

So He sent serpents amongst them for their sins and killed many of them, because the wages of sin is death; and we know that sin and death came into the world through the serpent. And even though the serpent represents death and sin, once it was lifted up and they looked upon it then it brought LIFE, and by it being lifted up conquered death. The serpent was a reminder of their sin and rebellion yet through mercy they were saved.  

The parallel is we look upon YESHUA to save us from death as He was lifted up on the execution stake to forgive us of our sins when we are worthy of death. So the serpent being LIFTED UP represented death but brought life was a foreshadowing of YESHUA being LIFTED UP on the stake to save us from death so that we can have everlasting life.

The foreshadow reminds me of YESHUA as the One speaking to Abraham telling him not to sacrifice his son, yet YESHUA came as The Son of YHWH to sacrifice Himself for all. He prevented Abraham from doing what He was coming to do Himself. That is true love!

Furthermore, the serpent was at the command of YHWH; therefore, there is a reason why He did it as we just discovered.

John 12:31-32

Now is the judgment of this world, now the ruler of this world (Satan) shall be cast out. And I, if I am LIFTED UP from the earth, shall draw all unto Myself.”

DOLLS/GRAVEN IMAGE/ACTION FIGURE

We have to remember that YESHUA said that the way to heaven is hard-pressed and narrow. So ask yourself does a majority of the world have these dolls, toys, statues, busts in their homes? Yes! So isn’t that the broad path to destruction, just as those who choose to worship on Sunday instead of Sabbath?

Action figures and dolls may seem like good innocent fun for your children or as collectibles for adults, but are they what they seem? ELOHIM said do not make anything in the “likeness” of anything in the heavens above and earth beneath. 3D sculptures of humans, action figures, dolls, teddy bears, animals, fish, all wild-life etc., are all in the likeness of ELOHIM’s creation of living beings.

I strongly believe that bringing these objects into your home carries unseen spiritual forces that open up portals in your home for unclean spirits, the same way I’ve discussed how the music industry said that they take the master copy of a recorded CD and place it on an altar and summon a demon to go wherever it goes. So when you play the music you have opened up a gateway and have given the demons “legal right” to enter into your homes even if you don’t play the music. John Todd who owned the record companies before getting out of the illumaniti and later died said “The most easily deceived people are the Christians because they don’t know their own word.” This ties in to Hosea 4:6 “My people perish for their lack of knowledge.”

Even more telling is the fact that the origin for dolls started with witchcraft, voodoo, and magic arts. Just think of the word voodoo DOLL. Dolls were also used in pagan religious ceremonies. So why would a set apart believer do the same things as a pagan as doing? Come out and be separate from the rest of the world. The word holy literally means set apart, so let the people of YHWH stand out amongst the crowd, just as we are wearing tassels/fringes/tsitsit on our garments and be completely obedient to our Father YHWH and His Son YESHUA!

Passover NOT Easter! Apostle Paul observed Passover!

One of Satan’s biggest deceptions is to trick believers of The ELOHIM of Yisra’el into observing pagan days that are not commanded in scripture. And Passover is a huge one as they are all, but Satan has attempted to take YESHUA’s victory over death, our Salvation, and has the world worshipping and praising Easter bunnies that have nothing to do with our Savior. By doing so he wants to give the honor and esteem to anything but YHWH and YESHUA and has found a way to connect it to hardcore paganism.

 Satan has deceived the world just as it states in Revelation 12:9 that he has led the whole world astray. Most of the world is celebrating his counterfeit holidays called sabbats which means (a pagan gathering of witches) that mock the true Holy Days/SHABBAT’S or Moedim (Appointed times) set by YHWH. This great deception is confirmed when we read Daniel 7: 25:

“He (Satan) will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.”

As I repeat so often is that once you have accepted YESHUA as your Messiah and Savior and know that He is Son of YHWH, then you have become grafted in as ONE with the nation of Yisra’el. There is only ONE belief; therefore, proving that ALL believers in YHWH and His Son YESHUA should ALL be worshipping Him the same way!

Ephesians 4:4-6

ONE BODY, and ONE RUACH (SPIRIT), as you also were called in ONE expectation of your calling; ONE ADON (Master)YESHUA, ONE BELIEF/FAITH, ONE IMMERSION/BAPTISM, ONE ELOHIM AND FATHER OF ALL who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” There is only ONE WAY and that is through YESHUA anything else is an imposter.

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 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 the promise.”

So there is only ONE baptism and you were baptized into YESHUA and now belong to Him making you a seed of Abraham where there is no Jew nor Greek. So the question is are you doing what Abraham did? He obeyed the commandments before there ever was a Jew.

Genesis 26:5

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

Sirach 44:19-20

Abraham was a great father of many people; there was none like him in esteem; who KEPT THE LAW OF THE MOST HIGH, and was in Covenant with Him.”

Baruk 4:1-2

This is the Book of the Commands of ELOHIM, and the Law that endures FOREVER; all those who guard it shall attain life, but those who leave it shall die. Turn, O Jacob, and take hold of it; walk in the presence of its LIGHT, that you may be illuminated.” How does Scripture define Light?

Proverbs 6:23

For the Command is a Lamp and the Torah a LIGHT.”

So brothers and sisters walk in the light of the Torah and be illuminated by its light that leads to life. YESHUA is the written Word that became living flesh and His Light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it. That is why Baruk says those who leave it shall die, because without YESHUA who is the Living Torah you will not attain life.  Observing Passover is a good way to begin knowing who He is and what He has done for us. So I’ll explain the origin of Easter, why you should choose Passover, YESHUA’s connection with the lamb in the Old Testament, when Passover is, what we should eat, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

What does Easter represent?

In the book titled “The Ultimate Spiritual Detoxification Guide: Cleansing Your Spirit of The Impurities of Learned Traditions and Behavior”, I explain from research the origin of Easter, which can be downloaded as a free PDF by clicking the “Free Store” link. Easter or Ishtar, also known as Semiramis and later called the “Queen of heaven” was the widow of Nimrod and mother of Tammuz. Easter is the bare breasted pagan fertility goddess of the east. Legend has it that she came out of heaven in a giant egg, landing in the Euphrates River at sunrise on the first Sunday after the vernal equinox, busted out, and turned a bird into an egg laying rabbit.”

“To honor this event, pagan sun-worshippers would go out early in the morning and face to the east to watch their sun-god arise over the horizon before having mass (sacrifice) in which the priest of Easter would sacrifice three month old human infants and take the eggs of Easter and dip them in the blood of the sacrificed infants. The blood-red colored Easter eggs would later hatch on December 25th, the same day her son Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14) would be born.” Which shows the pagan connection of Xmas and who really was born on that day.

 Christianity is doing nothing more than recreating pagan rituals rebranded in the name of Christianity and say they are doing it for YESHUA and you can’t do it. Now we can see why on Easter they have the egg hunt why they color the eggs, because it is a representation of the three month children they sacrificed and dipped the eggs in their blood. No one should ever look at these pagan eggs the same way after that!

Jubilees 1:9-10

For they shall forget all My Commands, even all that I command them, and they shall walk after the gentiles (Easter is an example of that), and after their uncleanness, and after their shame, and shall serve their mighty ones. And these shall come to be an offence to them and a tribulation and an affliction and a snare. And many shall perish and they shall be taken captive, and shall fall into the hands of the enemy, because they have forsaken My Laws and My Commands, and the Festivals of My Covenant (Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread etc) and My  Sabbaths, and My Holy Place which I have sanctified for Myself in their midst….” Verse 14 “And they shall forget all My Torah and My Commands and all My Right-Rulings, and shall go astray as to NEW MOONS, and SABBATHS, and FESTIVALS, and Jubilees, and Laws.”

 YHWH says they forgot His New Moons, Sabbaths, and Festivals, which is why Paul says this:

 Colossians 2:16-17

Let no one therefore judge you in eating and or in drinking, or in respect of a Festival or a NEW MOON OR SABBATH-which are a shadow of what is to come...” 

Meaning that YHWH expects us to observe these days. The Hebrew word for Holy Convocation is “Mikraw” which literally means a rehearsal. We are to be observing these days NOW because it will be too late when YESHUA returns: therefore, don’t let anyone judge you for knowing the TRUTH! The prophecy in Zechariah 14 is a great example of this because during the 1,000 reign, that ALL nations must come to celebrate The Feast of Tabernacles or have no rain, even the Egyptian, because it is a SHADOW of what is to come, which means that same concept applies to Passover!

Choose Passover/Pesach (Pronounced PAY-SOCK)!

Mathew 26:2 says:

“As you know, the PASSOVER is two days away and the Son of Man (YESHUA) will be handed over to be crucified.”

What is Passover? Passover is when YHWH brought the final plague upon the Egyptians because Pharaoh would not let His people go. YHWH commanded the Israelites to take a bunch of hyssop and dip in the basin with the perfect blood of lamb and strike the lentil and the two doorposts of the house so that YHWH would “Pass Over” their homes and execute judgment on the Egyptians. This event was a foreshadowing of the true perfect sacrificial lamb in YESHUA, whose perfect blood was poured out for us. The same way the perfect blood of the lamb saved Yisra’el when YHWH PASSED OVER them, is the same way when we have the perfect blood of YESHUA in our lives that sin and death PASS OVER us!

John 1:29

On the next day John saw YESHUA coming toward him, and said, “See, the LAMB of YHWH who takes away the sin of the world!”

Exodus 12:5

Let the LAMB be a perfect one, a year old male.” Verse 12 “And I shall pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and shall smite the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And on all the mighty ones of Egypt I shall execute judgment. I am YHWH. And the BLOOD shall be a SIGN for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the BLOOD, I shall PASS OVER you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt.”

YESHUA is also described as the Lamb in the Book of Revelation saying:

Revelation 12:11

And they overcame him because of the Blood of the LAMB because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

Revelation 13:8

And all those dwelling on the earth, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the slain LAMB, from the foundation of the world shall worship Him.”

Revelation 22:1 “And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of YHWH and of the LAMB.”

Another connection with YESHUA from the Old Covenant and the Renewed Covenant is:

Exodus 12:46

It is eaten in one house, you are not to take any of the flesh (lamb) outside the house, NOR are you to BREAK ANY BONE OF IT.”

John 19:31

The Jews asked Pilate to have THEIR LEGS BROKEN, and to be taken away. Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was impaled with Him, but when they came to YESHUA and saw that He was already dead, they DID NOT BREAK HIS LEGS.”  But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and instantly BLOOD and WATER came out. And he was has seen has witnessed, and his witness is true. And he knows that he is speaking the truth, in order that you might believe. For this took place in order for the Scripture to be filled: “NOT ONE OF HIS BONES SHALL BE BROKEN.See the connection and how it fulfills what YHWH spoke In Exodus 12:46?

Also in John 19:34 when YESHUA was pierced blood and water came out of Him. This reminds me of:

1 John 5:5-6

Who is the one who overcomes the world but he who believes that YESHUA is the Son of YHWH? This is the One that came by WATER AND BLOOD: YESHUA ha’Mashiach, not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Ruach (Spirit) who bears witness, because the Ruach is the Truth.” (The immersion/baptism and atonement on the stake.)

YESHUA and Paul both observed Passover!

Exodus 12:14 says:

And this day shall be unto you for a memorial: and you shall keep it a feast to YHWH throughout your generations; you shall keep it a feast by a LAW forever.”

If you notice, YHWH tells us to keep the Passover Feast throughout our generations forever. This holds true because YESHUA celebrated Passover with His disciples just as His Father commanded.

Mathew 26:18-19 says:

“And He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand: I WILL KEEP THE PASSOVER at your house with My disciples.” And the disciples did as YESHUA had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover.”

Verse 29 is absolutely beautiful! YESHUA reveals something that a lot of people may miss after reading the passage. He says the following:

“But I say unto you, I will not drink the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

YESHUA just confirmed the words of Father YHWH in Exodus 12:14 that the Passover is to be kept forever; and YESHUA tells us that we will celebrate the Passover with Him when He drinks the fruit of the vine with us in His Father’s Kingdom, HalleluYAH! So, as believers we need to begin celebrating the true feast of Passover and not the counterfeit holiday of Easter.

 The problem is that Christianity through the lies of the enemy has been working hard to remove the Hebraic roots of our faith and westernize it. It baffles me because YESHUA was a Jew, which is ONE of the 12 Tribes of Yisra’el, and He spoke Aramaic/Hebrew, so it is impossible to remove the Hebraic roots of our faith.

A perfect example of this is how they call Passover “The Last Supper” as if it was just some dinner YESHUA ate before He gave Himself for us. Christianity believes that calling it Passover would mean that they acknowledge the Hebraic Roots and that they would have to actually observe Passover and not Easter. I encourage anyone to search through the Scriptures and tell me one time where Easter replaced Passover? Because even Paul observed Passover! The same Paul who Christianity says did away with the law.

1 Corinthians 5:7-8

Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also MESSIAH our PASSOVER was offered for US. So then LET US OBSERVE THE FESTIVAL (PASSOVER) not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

Not only did Paul remember that YESHUA is our Passover Lamb, but also told the assembly of Corinth to Observe the Festival of Passover which means Paul observed it and told the non-native born Corinthians to do the same, showing that we ALL should doing as they did.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

For I received from the Adon pronounced Ah-doan (Master) that which I also delivered to you: that the Adon YESHUA in the night in which He was delivered up took bread, and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat, this is My body which is broken for you; DO THIS IN REMEMBERANCE OF ME.” In the same way also the cup, after supper; saying, “This cup is the Renewed Covenant in My blood. As often as you drink it, DO THIS IN REMEMBERANCE OF ME.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup (Passover), you PROCLAIM THE DEATH OF THE ADON UNTIL HE COMES.”

So we see the importance of the blood of YESHUA saving us from sin and death and the bread representing His body that was broken for us and blood of the Renewed Covenant! Then Paul adds that we are proclaiming the death of YESHUA until He returns! So if we are doing this in REMEMBERANCE of YESHUA then He will be looking from heaven to see if we are REMEMBERING TO KEEP PASSOVER! I know Christianity has their own “tradition of men” called communion to remember what YESHUA did, but we have to understand that YHWH commands us to do it on a certain day once a year. Which is why He gave us Holy Days in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16 and called “Appointed Times” and “Sabbaths”. They are Appointments that YHWH and YESHUA want to meet with Their people.

Think of it this way: If a doctor says “come back and see me in two weeks and make the appointment with the receptionist” that means you have an appointment to meet him on a certain day. If you decide to show up a month later, then that means you have missed the appointment and cannot receive treatment. The same thing applies in the spiritual realm and the Covenant we are supposed to be walking in with ELOHIM to receive spiritual blessings!

And Even Josiah in the Book of Kings when he and the priest discovered The Book of The Law they celebrated it because IT IS WRITTEN! 2 Kings 23:21-23 says:

And the sovereign (Josiah) commanded all the people, saying, “Prepare the Pesach (Passover) to YHWH your Elohim, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.” For such a Passover had not been prepared since the days of the rulers who ruled Israel, nor in all the days of the sovereigns of Israel and the sovereigns of Judah.”

What does YESHUA rising on Sunday prove?

YESHUA not rising until Sunday further proves that while He was in the Tomb He rested on the 7th Day, honoring the Sabbath Day command to rest. Furthermore, that Sabbath that He was in the tomb was a “High Sabbath” meaning that it was the 1st Day of The Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is another holy day where NO WORK is commanded! So it was a Sabbath within a Sabbath and YESHUA rested and honored both. YHWH did not raise Him up until both Sabbath rests were completed! ELOHIM is awesome!

John 19:31

Therefore, since it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the stake on the Sabbath-for that Sabbath was A HIGH ONE (1st Day of Feast of Unleavened Bread…)

Is this matter and the words commanded in Torah that serious?

Yes! When Josiah rediscovered the Torah in The House of YHWH he said in 2 Kings 22:13

Go inquire of YHWH for me, for the people and for all of Judah, concerning the words of this Book that has been found. For great is the wrath of YHWH that is kindled against us, because our ancestors have not obeyed the words of this Book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.”

When is Passover this year?

Passover this year is on April 7th when the sun is about to completely go down (twilight/between the evenings), but before it completely sets. The meal is eaten in haste because the Israelites fled Egypt in haste. And a way to remember what happened with the Exodus out of Egypt is by retelling the event with Scripture and having the entire family join in.

What are we supposed to eat?

Exodus 12:8-11

And they shall eat the flesh (Lamb) on that night, ROASTED IN FIRE-with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.” Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but ROASTED IN FIRE, its legs and its inward parts. And do not leave of it until morning you are to burn with fire. And this is how you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Pesach (Passover) of YHWH.

YHWH tell us to eat lamb roasted in fire (like a grill with actual charcoal and flames) unleavened bread (bread with no yeast or no baking soda etc.) and bitter herbs.

1 Esdras 1:11-12

And according to the nobility of the ancestors before the people, to offer to YHWH, as it is written in the Book of Moses (Torah). And thus they did in the morning, and they ROASTED THE PESACH (PASSOVER) WITH FIRE, AS REQUIRED.”

Of course we are in diaspora right now, scattered to the four corners of the earth because of our ancestor’s disobedience. Meaning we aren’t in Jerusalem and there is no Temple; however, we can do ALL that we can to follow the commandments and requirements to the best of your ability. If you can get a staff to eat with the meal then why not? If you can get a whole lamb then that’s great! If, not get some lamb steaks, just make sure you are eating lamb roasted in fire as required. But remember that NONE of the meat can be kept and must be burned with fire by the morning.

Exodus 12:22

And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin, and you, NONE OF YOU SHALL GO OUT OF THE DOOR OF HIS HOUSE UNTIL MORNING.”

As I always say we should follow the Scriptures as closely as we can, so if you are at home stay in the house and don’t go out until morning and likewise if you are staying with family or friends stay in the house until morning to fulfill the command

Right after Passover is The Feast of Unleavened Bread!

Acts 20:6-7

And we sailed away from Philippos after the Days of Matzah (Feast of Unleavened Bread) and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days. And on one of the Sabbaths, the disciples having gathered together to break bread, Paul, intending to depart the next day, was reasoning with them and was extending the Word till midnight.”

Just pointing out that Paul himself was with the group observing The Feast of Unleavened Bread and we see that they did not even sail until AFTER the Feast was completed.

April 8th-14th is The Feast of Unleavened Bread (7 days) and DO NOT EAT LEAVENED bread starting on Passover the 7th. The 1st and 7th Days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread are NO WORK DAYS, so that means do not work on April 8th or April 14th, 2020. I will explain more at the end.

YHWH tells us this in Exodus 12:14-20 saying:

“This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to YHWH---a LASTING LAW. For seven days you are to eat bread made without leaven. On the first day remove the leaven from your houses (April 8th), for whoever eats anything with leaven in it from the first day through the seventh day must be cut off from Israel. On the FIRST day (APRIL 8TH) hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the SEVENTH DAY (APRIL 14TH.) Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat---that is all you may do.”

YHWH also commands us to remove ALL leaven from our homes on the 1st Day of the Feast (April 8th). So we are not to leave our homes starting April 7th until the dawn or sunrise the next morning on the 8th to throw away the leaven. The definition of leaven is described below titled “What is leaven?”

“Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting law for the generations to come. In the first, you are to eat bread made without leaven, from the evening of the fourteenth day (Passover) until the evening of the twenty-first day. (As stated above DO NOT EAT LEAVEN ON PASSOVER THE EVENING OF THE 7TH.) For seven days no leaven is to be found in your homes. And whoever eats anything with leaven in it must be cut off from the community of Yisra’el, whether he is an ALIEN OR NATIVE-BORN. Eat nothing made with leaven. Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread.”

What is leaven?

Leaven or (Se’or in Hebrew) are leavening agents that cause dough to rise such as:

 (Yeast, baking powder, baking soda, sodium bicarbonate, horn salt etc.)

When leavening agents are combined with flour it becomes Chametz (Ha-mets) which is baked bread that has risen due to the leavening agents. We are to dispose of any Chametz that you have made yourself or any store bought baked breads, cakes, cake mixes containing leavening agents, also beware of matzah ball soup mixes because they contain sodium bicarbonate which is a leavening agent that we should not be eating during this feast.

Also, all of the leavening agents must be thrown away too and to be found NOWHERE in your homes. And do not give the chametz or the leavening agents to a neighbor to get them back afterwards. Throw them away as He commanded and He will provide the provisions for being obedient as always.

None of these items are supposed to even be seen anywhere on our property. We are to eat Matzah, which is called unleavened bread, for seven days which does not contain anything to make the dough rise. Simply flour, water, and maybe oil is all that is required to make unleavened bread.

Wine is popular to drink on Passover, though I would opt for grape juice as the fruit of the vine, because most wine contains yeast or a leavening agent during the fermentation process, which would break the command of no leavening agent. So if you can find a wine that doesn’t break the command then you should have no problems, otherwise I would drink grape juice.

1st Command Have no other gods before Me: (Sunday, Sports, Movies, cell phone)

Exodus 20:2-3

I am YHWH your ELOHIM, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You have no other mighty ones against My face (have no other god before Me.)”

Psalms 106:19-20

They made a calf in Horeb, and bowed down to a molded image. Thus they changed My esteem into the form of an ox that eats grass.”

The world today has forsaken YHWH for modern day golden calves in the form of sun worship (Sunday) to sports, entertainment, cell phones, movies, Facebook, video games, and pagan holidays not found in the Bible. First, I will cover sun worship that the world has been deceived into following, then in the latter portion of this article I’ll discuss sports, movies, and how it is a form of spiritual idolatry.

The world has disregarded the commandments of YHWH for the commands of Satan:

Isaiah 24:5

For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot (Plural form of Torah), changed the Law, broken the everlasting Covenant.”

Daniel 7:25

And it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the saints of the Most High, and it intends to change the Appointed Times and LAW…). And this has already happened!

You can’t know YESHUA without observing The Appointed Times since they ALL point to Him!

If any believer thinks the Holy Days of YHWH are not important and apply to the Jews only; then I would like to say that I have proven from Scripture alone that Abel, Noah, and Abraham all kept the commandments before there ever was a Jew, which proves the Torah and Commands are eternal, they always existed. Rejection of His day’s means you cannot see the work YESHUA did for us and secondly the days that YHWH and YESHUA want to meet with us are called APPOINTED TIMES (Think of appointments).

And take a look YHWH’s plan and importance of this during creation in Genesis 1:14

And ELOHIM, said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and APPOINTED TIMES, and for days and years…”

Sirach 43:6

He made the moon ALSO to serve in its season for APPOINTED TIMES, and a sign for the world. From the moon is the SIGN OF FEASTS…” and Sirach 33:9 “And He turns seasons and Feasts. Some of them He has made High Days (1st and 7th day of Feast of Unleavened Bread for example are holy high days of no work), and sanctified them, and some of them He has made regular days.”

So YHWH gave us the Sun and moon to be for APPOINTED TIMES, signs, days, and years. So what are YHWH’s APPOINTED TIMES?

Leviticus 23:1-5

And YHWH spoke to Moses saying, “Speak to the children of Yisra’el, and say to them, ‘The APPOINTED TIMES of YHWH, which you are to proclaim as holy gatherings, MY APPOINTED TIMES ARE THESE: Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a holy gathering. You DO NO WORK, it is a Sabbath to YHWH in all your dwellings. These are the APPOINTED TIMES of YHWH, holy gatherings which you are to proclaim at their APPOINTED TIMES (The Sabbath is every Saturday in its Appointed Time).  In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, is the Pesach (Passover) to YHWH.” And on the fifteenth day of this month is the Festival of Matzah (Feast of Unleavened Bread)-seven days you eat unleavened bread…”

Then the rest of that chapter YHWH lists the rest of His Appointed Times that Satan has gotten the world to reject. The others are Shavuot aka Pentecost, Yom Teruah aka Trumpets, Yom Kippur aka The Day of Atonement, Sukkot aka The Feast of Tabernacles, and the 8th Day Closing Assembly or the Last Great Day.

So, now we see that prophesy in Daniel 7:25 has already being worked out in modern day Christianity: “And it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the saints of the Most High, and it intends to change the Appointed Times and LAW.” And by rejecting the Torah believers are rejecting YESHUA at the same time since He is the written Word that became Living Flesh. Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old called the Devil and Satan, who leads ALL THE WORLD ASTRAY.”

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 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 the promise.”

So there is only ONE baptism and you were baptized into YESHUA and now belong to Him making you a seed of Abraham where there is no Jew nor Greek. So the question is are you doing what Abraham did? He obeyed the commandments before there ever was a Jew.

Genesis 26:5

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

Sirach 44:19-20

Abraham was a great father of many people; there was none like him in esteem; who KEPT THE LAW OF THE MOST HIGH, and was in Covenant with Him.”

YHWH knew this would happen: Isaiah 46:10

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from of old that which has not been done, saying, ‘My counsel stands, and all My delight I do.”

When you don’t follow the commands of YHWH and walk in truth following YESHUA then that means you have accepted the way of the enemy, which means the worship of a mighty one that is NOT YHWH; therefore breaking the 1st Commandment. YESHUA scolded the assembly of Laodicea for being lukewarm trying to straddle the fence. ELOHIM wants ALL of you, not the one who has one foot serving YHWH and the other serving the enemy. Now are will list some other examples of believers are not putting YHWH first below.

So what does YHWH think of those who worship the sun and have we been lied to?

I will be going over in detail about the Sabbath Day when covering the fourth commandment, but this correlates with having no other mighty one before YHWH, because it has to do with worship of another that is not Him! It has to do with worshiping the sun deity and standing behind the sun deity is Satan.

Deuteronomy 4:19

And lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and shall see the SUN, and the moon, and the stars-all of the host of the heavens and you be drawn away into bowing down to them and serving them…” Those who have rejected the Sabbath Day have bowed before the sun in the spiritual realm and in their hearts. 

Ezekiel 8:16

And He brought me into the inner court of the House of YHWH. And there, at the door of the Heykal (Temple) of YHWH, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the Temple of YHWH and their faces toward the east, and they were bowing themselves eastward to the SUN.”

2 Esdras 6:45-46

On the fourth day You commanded that the sun should shine, and the moon give its light, and the stars should be in order; and commanded them to DO SERVICE TO MAN, who was to be made.”

Notice how the sun, moon, and stars were created to serve mankind? Yet, mankind is serving and worshiping what was created to serve us? Every culture worships the sun, which is worship of the creation instead of the Creator. Satan through his deceptions and indoctrinating children in schools has made the sun the focus of creation. And he accomplished this by getting the scientist and many others to lie and say that the earth revolves around the sun. But we know in Scripture that the sun is the one doing the moving and NOT the earth. Why because the earth is fixed on pillars and does not move:

Job 9:6

Who shakes the earth out of its place, and it’s COLUMNS/PILLARS TREMBLE…

1 Samuel 2:8

For the SUPPORTS of the earth belong to YHWH, and He HAS PUT THE WORLD UPON THEM.” YHWH put the earth upon the supports of the earth and Job says that they supports/columns/pillars tremble!

Proof the sun moves!

Joshua 10:12-13

Then Joshua spoke to YHWH in the day when YHWH gave the Amorites over to the children of Yisra’el, and he said before the eyes of Yisra’el, “SUN, STAND STILL over Gib’on; and MOON, in the valley of Ayalon.” So the SUN STOOD STILL AND THE MOON STOPPED.” So if the sun is stationary and the earth revolves around it according to scientist, then why did the sun stand still and the moon stop?

Job 9:7

“Who commands the SUN, AND IT DOES NOT RISE; and He seals up the stars.” So we see here in Job that YHWH can command the sun to rise or sit still just as He did with Joshua.

Sirach 26:16

As the SUN WHEN IT RISES high in the heavens…” And 43:2 “The sun when it appears, showing a marvelous instrument as ITS RISING.”

Sirach 48:22-23

As Isaiah the prophet, who was great and trustworthy in his vision, had commanded him. In his time the SUN WENT BACKWARD…”

 We were taught the exact opposite in school weren’t we? The sun is moving, it is not sitting stationary. I pray this opens your eyes to the deception and lies of making the sun the focus as many have been led astray to worship it either directly or choosing the wrong day of worship.

The Sabbath Day is the FOURTH COMMANDMENT but has been rejected by most of the world for Sun worship on Sun-day. So this makes sense that the sun, moon, and stars were created on the FOURTH DAY and that the plagues in Revelation at the sound of the FOURTH TRUMPET and the FOURTH BOWL of wrath both affects the SUN, moon, and stars. Since the world has trusted and worshiped the Sun, moon, and stars and rejected YHWH then then they will be affected by them. . Remember YHWH says in Exodus 20:5 “For I, YHWH your ELOHIM, am a jealous EL (God), visiting the wickedness of the ancestors on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me.”

The result of sun worship

Revelation 8:12

And the fourth messenger (angel) sounded, and a third of the SUN, was struck, and third of the MOON, and a third of the STARS, so that a third of them were darkened. And a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.”

Revelation 16:8-9

And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the SUN, and it was given to him to burn men with fire. And men were burned with great heat, and they blasphemed the Name of YHWH who possesses authority over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give Him esteem.”

All of these pagan holidays including Sunday worship (Xmas, Easter, mother’s day, father’s day etc.) all have ties to sun worship, so since the world wants to continue worshiping them, this is what YHWH says:

Judges 10:14

Go and cry out to the mighty ones which you have chosen, let them save you in your time of distress.”

Entertainment is put before YHWH

Satan has the whole world distracted with all kinds of entertainment from sports, music, movies, porn, reality TV, cars, and others serve their bank accounts. Others play video games all day on their phone or entertainment system, others live on Facebook and share their life every two minutes making them live on the app. This is idle time that should be used to read Scripture and get to know your Creator. All of these are idols that you are putting before your ELOHIM. You must remove them ASAP so you can focus on YESHUA The Way, The Truth, and The Life Who is the only One that can save you. Trust me, when judgment comes NONE of this entertainment will mean anything to anyone.

 Satan loves this, because people can stay up all day and night watching their favorite show, all of their sports, or be on their cell phones being entertained for countless hours, but when it comes time to reading the Bible they fall asleep in 5 minutes. Why? Because this is spiritual warfare as Paul spoke of in Ephesians 6! Satan doesn’t care if you spend your time on his vices that lead to DEATH, but will try to prevent you from getting close to YESHUA that leads to LIFE! It is said that if you give the public food and entertainment then you can control them and they will be in a coma to what’s going on around them.

Examining sports

Sports is a distraction set up by the pagan nations (using Greeks during the time of the Maccabees). The Book of Maccabees goes into great detail about how sports was never intended for YHWH’s people. But as usual Yisra’el self-assimilated meaning they wanted to be like the pagan nations around them. (I have discussed this topic in an earlier article titled “Sports a demonic distraction.”)

Maccabees 1:12-15 says something shocking

“The proposal was agreeable; some from among the Jewish people promptly went to the king, and he authorized them to introduce the way of living of the Gentiles. Thereupon they built a gymnasium in Jerusalem according to the Gentile custom. They covered over the mark of their circumcision and abandoned the holy covenant; they allied themselves with the Gentiles and sold themselves into wrong doing.”

Maccabees 4:18

Now when the sovereign was present at the quadrennial games that was held at Tsor…”

What are quadrennial games?

Quadrennial games is defined as the Olympics which includes all sports from basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, swimming, world cup, lacrosse, rugby, winter Olympics, yachting, putt-putt, volleyball, water polo, cricket, and youth games to name a few.

It’s interesting to note that the Book of Maccabees explains the Greek and Roman origin of sports and how it’s a gentile custom that the people of Yisra’el have learned just like the pagan holidays. And I remember years ago when I WAS still watching sports, there being a Super Bowl ad that had Peyton Manning and John Malkovich promoting the game in the Roman Coliseum in the background and another commercial had Beyoncé, Brittany Spears, and Pink dressed up as gladiators with spears and shields going into the Roman coliseum as if they were going to fight, then they start singing “We will rock you” as the crowd goes wild. The powers that be behind the sports world was paying homage to the Greek and roman culture for the games and believers missed the message in plain sight. Which further proves that the people of YHWH should have no involvement.  

Satan is not going to make you worship him directly, so he has set up distractions to make you do it indirectly, because the further away from our Creator YHWH he can get you is a win for him.

How much time are you spending be entertained?

Joshua 1:8

Do not let this Book of the Torah depart from your mouth, but you shall MEDITATE ON IT DAY AND NIGHT, so that you guard to do according to all that is written I it. For then you shall make your way prosperous and act wisely.”

How can you meditate on YHWH’s Word and keep the commandments if all of your time is spent being entertained? Sports fanatics will watch football for example on Sunday all day for 10-12 hours from kickoff to the final game, Monday night football for another 3-4 hours, Thursday night football, for another 3-4 hours, then College football on Saturday (breaking the Sabbath) all day for another 10-12 hours. That equates to more than 24 hours of sports not including basketball or any other sports (quadrennial games). Then that same believer will spend an hour in church then go home and watch more sports. So on average that would be 23 hours of sports and 1 hour to our Messiah YESHUA, which would be defined as idolatry. You have given sports ALL of your time and have neglected serving YESHUA, reading your Scriptures, and figuring out what your gift is in the Body of Messiah, and using them for His Kingdom.

Ephesians 4:11-12 which says

“And He Himself gave some as emissaries (person sent on special mission/minister, some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as shepherds and teachers for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of service to a building up of the Body of ha’Mashiach”

You don’t have to physically bow down before something in order to make it your mighty One. If YESHUA were to come while you were at a sporting event do you think you will be found blameless before Him? Or do you think He would say, why weren’t you using this time to pray, to read, to proclaim My Name to the lost, was this a proper way to spend your time? Or did you put the modern day gladiators above Me? These are serious questions to ask yourselves!

Also sports teams and athletes are idolized to the point of worship as fans wear jerseys of their favorite players, put posters on their walls, wear team apparel from head to toe, paint team logos on their cars, collecting Jordan shoes like a shrine and have flags on their homes. Yet, YHWH says wear tassels/fringes/tsitsit that gets rejected! The world will idolize a player by following him through college, tracking his position all the way up through the draft, they can tell you what school he attended, what his 40 time was, what is major was and what team wants to draft him. They know more about a human than about YHWH’s Word. None of these athletes can save any of us, only YESHUA can! People will even go as far as to say “that is my idol!” Even the TV shows “American IDOL” What have you just done? Broken the 1st Commandment!

Eye opener for me!

I remember years ago when I used to watch sports as a big-time Redskins fan, I was at the training camp when Robert Griffin was labeled as “The Savior” for the Redskin fan-base after so many mediocre seasons, and we know the only SAVIOR IS YESHUA and as Titus 2:11 says “For the SAVING GIFT of YHWH has appeared to all men.”

 As Robert Griffin was walking across the field a young child was screaming RG3’s name out loudly for him to come over and sign his football. He was screaming at the top of his lungs like nothing else in the world mattered, as if RG3 was bigger than life. Seconds later the man standing behind me said “Watching RG3 walking across the field is like watching Jesus Christ walk across the field.” This man turned out to be the child’s dad! I knew immediately from that point on that something was seriously wrong. Parents are supposed to teach their children the way to go and bring them up in the Word of YHWH as commanded in Deuteronomy 6:4-9, and worshiping a man is not the way to do it.

Watching sports is lust of the eyes because we are entertained when we watch it. The fan has a strong lust or desire to watch their teams play and celebrate it with great pomp (Super Bowls, Championships etc.) Does the world love sports? Yes! 1 John 2:15-16

Do not love the world nor that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is NOT in him. Because all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the yes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is out the world.”

Bragging rights, championship rings, the hall of fame with busts of all the players, even bragging about clothes, how many pair of Jordan’s you own, money, or even the expensive car you drive are all the pride of life.

James 4:4

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

Sports is of this world and the scripture from the Book of Maccabees is further evidence, because sports is not for followers of YESHUA!  It is hard for people to let sports go because they love it so much and I’ve heard people especially believers in YESHUA say “They could never let sports ago because they are too attached” or “that’s the one thing I cannot let go outside of eating pork or shrimp.” Such words should never be uttered from a believer! We should never love anything on the earth that much that we cannot let it go. We were called to be set apart from the world and nothing separates us from the world when believers watch sports too! We cannot tell the difference between a believer and a non-believer anymore.

There was a news report during the time I was watching sports of a man getting beat up by a bunch of fans in Boston simply because he said that Tom Brady isn’t the greatest quarterback. Is that loving your neighbor as yourself? Roger Goodell himself said that he wanted to set Tom Brady up as a” king.” And there is only ONE KING and that is YESHUA! See those in charge of sports know what they are doing by making these guys bigger than life and even on the same pedestal as YESHUA. Wake-up and realize the deception and do not put anyone or your time above YHWH!

Examining movies

Hollywood is orchestrated by Satan which he uses to keep us in the world and cause us to sin. The movies produced promote demons, ghosts, necromancy, greed, money, vanity, rape hatred, violence, homosexuality, adultery, fornication, abuse, just to name a few. Scripture tells us to keep your eyes from all evil, therefore we shouldn’t even be watching these abominations.

Psalm 101:3

“I will set no wicked thing before my eyes”

1 Thessalonians 5:22

“Abstain from every form of wickedness”

Legend has it that Nemi (holy wood) hunted souls for Diana with its beauty, the same way Hollywood hunts souls by deceiving believers in Messiah and other lost souls. “Nemi/Nemus” known as (holy wood) which Los Angeles is modeled after called theirs Hollywood. Hollywood is derived from the Rome’s Nemus (holy wood) which is an exact replica of what we see in Rome.

Both locations are in the middle of the groves on top of the hills. Nemi has a lake in the middle of the groves called “Diana’s mirror”. The emperors from around the world would sail into the lake of Diana’s mirror to assert themselves as “stars”. Now we can see the connection with the term “star” we hear about in America where Hollywood actors/actresses want to become “stars” and also the show “Dancing with the stars”. We have to remember that scripture says there is nothing new under the sun which is found in Ecclesiastes 1:9

“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”

They have already admitted that the movie industry models itself after Babylon. They even boldly put a huge picture of the Tower of Babel on the stage for those receiving the awards and nobody in the audience even knew what it was. Even the Oscar award is a modern representation of Egyptian deities.

Even at one of the award shows the announcer said to the crowd “You godless, sodomites!” He literally told the audience that they have forsaken YHWH for the Babylonian deities and again putting another mighty one before Him. Then he mentioned them coming to worship their gods! Which are the actors who were coming to receive their idol Oscar award. Yet, the whole audience laughed it off, however the announcers were telling the truth, which is known as “hiding the truth in plain sight” as they lead them down a path of destruction. And movies, reality TV, shows with endless amount of seasons will take up one’s time by binge watching ALL Day instead of reading Scripture. It’s just another form to take your attention away from what really matters.

1 Corinthians 10:21

You are not able to drink the cup of the Adon (Master) and the cup of demons, you are not able to partake of the table of the Adon and of the table of demons.” Choose which side you are going to be on!

Baruk 4:7-8

For you provoked He who made you by offering to demons, and not to ELOHIM. You have forgotten the everlasting ELOHIM, who raised you up…”

Baruk 1:17-22

For we have sinned before YHWH, and disobeyed Him, and have not listened to the voice of YHWH our ELOHIM, to walk in the Commands that He gave us openly. Since the day that YHWH brought our ancestors out of the land of Egypt, to this PRESENT DAY, we have been disobedient to YHWH our ELOHIM, and we have been negligent, by not obeying His voice. Therefore the evils clinged to us, and the curse, which YHWH appointed by Moses His servant at the time that he brought our ancestors out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that flows with milk and honey, as it is to this day. Nevertheless we have not listened to all the words of the prophets, whom He sent to us; but every man followed the IMAGINATION OF HIS OWN WICKED HEART, to serve foreign mighty ones, and to do evil in the sight of YHWH our ELOHIM.”

Are you going to give your life to YESHUA or on these modern day gods, foreign might ones that have been mentioned in this article? Is there a distraction or some sort of entertainment that is preventing you from getting know YHWH? Are they ruling your life becoming your mighty one and breaking the first commandment? Examine your life today, repent, and cling to YESHUA because only He can save us! Pick up your execution stake and DIE TO SELF and not LIVE TO SELF, just as He did for us.

ELOHIM willing next week we will go over Passover which is coming up on the 7th of next month and then after that resume with the 10 Commandments. HalleluYAH

St Patrick’s Day and Gad the pagan deity of GOOD LUCK!

According to Allison Berry in an article titled “Happy St. Patrick’s Day! A Brief History of Leprechauns.” She writes “This small fairy is often elusive, his presence only marked by a faint hammering sound. William Allingham’s poem “The Leprechaun,” describes man’s particular fascination with this fairy as essentially driven by GREED: “Get him in sight, hold him tight, and you’re a made man.” Of course, his posts of gold provide plenty of motivation for men to seek him out, though usually the human who tries to capture a leprechaun is foiled in the end, made to look away by some invented distraction while the leprechaun escapes. But aside from the treasure he holds, spotting a leprechaun is also considered GOOD LUCK. So listen just a bit more closely while you’re hoisting a pint of GUINNESS this St. Patrick’s Day.”

In this one passage from the article covers the basis of what St. Patrick’s Day is all about GOOD LUCK, GREEDY FOR GAIN, WILD PARTIES, AND DRUNKENNES!”  Excessive drinking occurs all over the world in honor of this day when people go to bars/pubs and get drunk, parties, and other gatherings. This is nothing more than another empty tradition of man and superstitions like pinching, wearing green, and four leaf clovers, rabbit’s foot, horseshoes etc all represent good luck and to deceive the people of ELOHIM.

What pagan deity represents Good luck?

Isaiah 65:11

But you are those who forsake YHWH, who forget My holy mountain, who prepare a table for Gad, and who fill a drink offering for Meni.”

Gad is a pagan deity of “good luck” and “fortune” which is being honored on this day. Anyone who believes in “good luck” or says “good luck” to any person is paying homage to this pagan deity. It’s no wonder the world has been deceived into believing in the four-leaf clover that represents “good luck.” Is there any coincidence to there being a leprechaun on the box of LUCKY charms? I don’t think so!

Psalms 23:5

You spread before me a table in the face of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.”

So while YHWH prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies, the world decides to prepare a table for the pagan deity of good luck and fortune. Talking about truly forsaking and turning your back on YHWH!

What about greed and drunkenness?

Their superstition says that a leprechaun whom people search for on this day will find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Firstly, I’ve already shown scriptures in a previous broadcast about how LGBTQ has tried to steal the rainbow that surrounds the throne of YHWH, on the head of a messenger/angel in Revelation, and was used a sign/covenant that He would not flood the earth again. Now this time a pagan tradition is trying to attach itself to the holiness of YHWH with greed (pot of gold) at the end of the rainbow.

1 Corinthians 5:11

But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone called ‘a brother,’ if he is one who fornicates, or GREEDY OF GAIN, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a DRUNKARD.”

Colossians 3:5

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and GREED OF GAIN, which is idolatry.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the reign of ELOHIM? Do not be deceived. Neither those who are sexual immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor GREEDY OF GAIN, NOR DRUNKARDS, nor revilers, nor swindlers shall inherit the reign of ELOHIM.”

1 Peter 4:3

For enough of our PAST LIFETIME we have done the desire of the gentiles, having walked in indecencies, lusts, DRUNKENNES, orgies, WILD PARTIES, and abominable idolatries…”

Ephesians 5:18 says:

“Do not get DRUNK on wine which leads to loose behavior. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”

We know heavy drinking and wild parties occurs on this day and alcohol leads to loose behavior and loose behavior leads to fornication, adultery, anger and other acts not of ELOHIM! There are angry drunks out there that  leads to wrath and anger.

James 1:14-15

But each one is enticed when he is drawn away by his own desires and trapped. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings for death.”

1 Peter 4:7

But the end of all has drawn near. Therefore be sober-minded, and be attentive in prayers.”

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober, watch, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”

Saints in the Bible did not have their own day!

Nowhere in the Bible are we commanded to have any other feasts than the “Appointed times” that ELOHIM commanded us to keep each year in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16. Not one time have we been commanded to celebrate or uplift a human being like St. Patrick or St. Valentine, regardless if the stories of him converting people to Christianity are true. We do not celebrate “Abraham’s Day” or “Moses Day” or “David’s Day” when all of those righteous men of the Bible were servants of our ELOHIM. YHWH gave the world the Sabbath Day, yet that one gets rejected!

According to realtruth.org, “As with many other manmade holidays, St. Patrick’s Day is filled with pagan customs. The shamrock, green paraphernalia, and plethora of fantasies about Patrick, including his fictional function as “Patron Saint” in heaven, are simply empty traditions. Such manmade holidays were adopted as early church leaders began “laying aside the commandments of ELOHIM” to “hold the tradition of men.”

Some of these holidays are designed to make believers feel like they are honoring a Saint when in actuality it’s to cover up of the worship of a pagan deity, rebranded in the name of Christianity. But even with that said no one should ever hold a man to that kind of esteem anyway. Let’s look at scripture concerning this:

Esther 3:2-3

And all the kings servants who were in the kings gate bowed and did obeisance to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordechai would not bow or do obeisance.” And the kings servants who were in the kings gate said to Mordechai, “Why do you disobey the kings command.”

Additions to Esther 13:11-13

“You are Adon (Master) of all, and there is none that resists You, who is YHWH! You know all, and You know, YHWH, that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any desire of esteem, that I did not bow down to proud Haman. For I could have been content for the salvation of Yisra’el to kiss the soles of his feet with kindness. But I did this, that I might not prefer the esteem of a man above the esteem of ELOHIM; neither shall I worship any but You, O ELOHIM, neither shall I do it in pride.”

Acts 10:25-26

And it came to that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and bowed before him. But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up, I myself am also a man.”

Acts 14:13-15

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.”

I plead with the world to turn from these worthless matters to the living ELOHIM just as Paul said in Acts. The world has learned to bow down before demons and men because a man told them to do it and they would rather hold to the traditions of men instead of the commandments of YHWH.  Mordechai, Peter, Paul, and Barnanbas understood this, just as believers should as well. Worship YHWH and YESHUA and turn from the pagan deities of good luck and fortune, four leaf clovers, leprechauns, wild parties, and drunkenness.

YESHUA vs Judaism: Seder, Star of David and other traditions!

I have heard many say that you cannot believe anything from the Jews based off of this passage:

Revelation 2:9

And the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a congregation of Satan.”

YESHUA didn’t say ALL Jews are the synagogue of Satan, He said that there are some who claim to be Jews and are NOT because they belong to Satan. This means that they would be imposters posing as something they are not. If you are not teaching what is in the Torah just like Christianity then it is not truth, so I’m referring to the Torah versus the Talmud that they follow. True followers of YESHUA stick to only what is written by the Word of YHWH and never a man. How could all Jews be the synagogue of Satan when are Messiah and Savior YESHUA was a Jew (Yahudi) from the tribe of Judah (Yahudah)? People must be careful what they say.

Once you come out of Christianity then you have to unlearn the teachings of Judaism because you accept it all as truth because are trying to get back to the Hebraic Roots of your faith and on through the Ruach ha’Kodesh (Holy Spirit) will you be led away from Christianity and Judaism to follow YESHUA who is the Way, The Truth, and The Life who is Word of YHWH not the teachings of men!

Titus 1:13-14

This witness is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, in order for them to be sound in the belief, not paying attention to Jewish fables, and commands of men who turn from the truth.”

The teachings of Judaism, Talmud, the oral law, rabbinical Judaism teachings of the modern day Pharisees are fables that turn aside from the truth. And what is the truth?

Psalms 119:142

Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and your TORAH is truth.”

Notice this Scripture says that the Torah is truth not the Talmud is truth? Or saved by faith alone is truth? Also, a majority of them call themselves” rabbis” in rabbinical Judaism, but what does YESHUA say about this?

Mathew 23:7-8

And the greetings in the market-places, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ But you, do NOT be called ‘Rabbi,’ for One is your Teacher, ha’Mashiach (YESHUA), and you are all brothers.”

We are all brothers and not to be putting someone on a pedestal is if they are greater than the other. We all have different gifts and functions within the Body of Messiah and YESHUA is the Head of the Assembly. Calling themselves rabbis is trying to make themselves equal with YESHUA as a teacher, even though YESHUA clearly says call Him Rabbi only, not to a man. Yet majority of them that lead synagogues do this because they say they have earned the right after years of study.

So we see the Jewish fables are the commandments of men that teach the traditions of men from the Talmud and not the Torah turning away from the truth.  Wikipedia says “Belief that at least portions of the Oral Torah were transmitted orally from ELOHIM to Moses on Mount Sinai during the Exodus from Egypt is a fundamental tenet of faith of Orthodox Judaism, and was recognized as one of the Thirteen Principles of Faith by Maimonides.” The belief that Moses received another set of instructions orally is found nowhere in Scripture.  They are laws, statues, and legal interpretations that were not found in the Torah making heavy burdens on men that they could not bear.

Mathew 23:4

For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders, but with their finger they do not want to move them.”

They have writings from these self-proclaimed rabbis of rabbinical Judaism on how they interpret laws and added many to them over the years (like you have to tie your left shoe first before tying the right one etc.) These writings and laws of men are held above the Torah given by YHWH. According to their tradition, the Oral Law was passed down orally in an unbroken chain from generation to generation until its contents were finally committed to writing following the destruction of the Second Temple. The Torah is truth and we see that they are teaching something completely different which is why YESHUA rebuked them when He walked the earth.

What are some strict observances of Judaism the traditions of men?

Mark 7:1-9

And the Pharisees and some of the scribes assembled to Him, having come from Jerusalem. And seeing some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they was their hands thoroughly, holding fast THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS, and from the market-place, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many others which they have received and hold fast-the washing of cups and utensils and copper vessels and couches. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk ACCORDING TO THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS, but eat bread with unwashed hands?” And He answering, said to them, ‘Well did Isaiah prophecy concerning you hypocrites, as it has been written, ‘This people respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the COMMANDS OF MEN.” Forsaking the Command of ELOHIM, you hold fast THE TRADITON OF MEN: WASHING OF POTS AND CUPS AND MANY OTHER MATTERS.” And He said to them, ‘Well do you PUT ASIDE THE COMMAND OF ELOHIM TO GUARD YOUR TRADITION.”

As we see YESHUA rebuked them for their tradition of Judaism the modern day Pharisees that they held over YHWH’s commandments. Then being hypocrites by not honoring their mom and dad by helping them financially by saying in verse 11 “It is Korban (that is, a gift)” which is what they dedicated back to ELOHIM, giving them an excuse to hold on to their money and not help their parents and breaking the fifth commandment of YHWH for their tradition.

 The ritualistic washing of the hands before they ate each piece of bread is found NOWHERE in scripture, yet that passed it off as Law and accused YESHUA’s disciples of breaking their man-made commandment as if it’s written in the Torah. It has been said that those who hold to this tradition equate eating bread with unwashed hands to having relations with a prostitute. Mark 7:13 “nullifying the Word of ELOHIM through your TRADITION WHICH YOU HAVE HANDED DOWN. And many such-like YOU DO.” And these false traditions they held on too so much have been passed down from generation to generation just as the lies in Christianity. Someone has to break the curse.

 Paul who was a Pharisee of the strictest sect before YESHUA changed him said:

Galatians 1:13-14

For you have heard of my FORMER behavior in JUDAISM, how intensely I persecuted the assembly of Elohim, and ravaged it. And I progressed in JUDAISM beyond many of my age in my race, being more exceedingly ardent for the TRADITIONS OF MY FATHERS.” Paul was familiar with their false traditions as he grew up a Pharisee and thought he was doing the right thing by persecuting those who believed in YESHUA! After being blinded on the road to Damascus he followed YESHUA and became the ring leader of the sect called The Way because YESHUA is The Way The Truth and the Life! From that point on it was Passover and not the traditional Seder plate (1 Corinthians 5:7-9 and 1 Corinthians 11: 2526). I’ll cover this more in the section called “Passover traditions of Judaism.”

Luke 11:37-39

And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him, so He went in and sat down to eat. And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He did not first wash before dinner. And the Adon (Master) said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is filled with greed and wickedness.” They were giving the outward appearance of being holy to men, but the inside full of wickedness and evil.

Luke 6:1-2

And it came to be on a Sabbath that He went through grain fields, and His disciples were plucking the heads of grain and were eating, rubbing them in the hands. And some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing what is not right to do on the Sabbath?”

Now again they were comparing YESHUA’s disciples to their oral law of Judaism, saying that plucking grain is harvesting and rubbing the grain in their hands was threshing; therefore, they considered that to be work. They added 39 prohibitions to the Sabbath making it a burden for men. Just as they do today saying you cannot use your phone to preach the gospel, you cannot turn on lights, or drive your car etc. YESHUA observed the Sabbath, He just rebuked them for their man-made, heavy burden version of it. (Luke 4:16, Mark 2:27).

Mathew 23:5

And they do all their works to be seen by men, and they make their t’fillen wide and lengthen the fringes of their garments.”

Fringes/tassels/tsitsit are commanded in Scripture but T’fillen or phylacteries are not. These are a set of small black leather boxes that contain scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah that they literally tie on their foreheads and wrap around their arms trying to fulfill Deuteronomy 6:8 which says:

And shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.”

So to them literally binding the commands in a small box with portions of the Torah on their head and arms would fulfill this command. YESHUA is saying they want to be seen by men to appear holy, plus this is one of those legal interpretations they came up with. YHWH is saying the Hebrew word (Resh) what are your thoughts on? (Forehead) Keeping His word before you always to meditate on it as He told Joshua in Joshua 1:8 “Do not let this Book of The Torah depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night…” And on your arm is (Yod) a picture of an arm and a hand showing your actions to fulfill his Word and do it and not just hear it.

A recent article in 2013 reveals more burdens

These are the heavy burdens that YESHUA spoke of. And in this article titled “The 16 most annoying things about keeping Kosher” by Emily Orley states these burdens that Judaism has placed on them, so I’ll list a few:

Most kosher meals cannot have butter, so it makes eating all the more difficult when restaurants (and everyone else) secretly put butter in everything. In the end, I usually just lie about having a butter allergy.”

Judaism falsely interprets that meat and dairy cannot touch; therefore, they have these extreme measures. What does Scripture say about meat and dairy?

Genesis 18:7-8

And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hurried to prepare it. And he took CURDS AND MILK AND THE CALF which he had prepared and put it before them, and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.” So we can clearly see in scripture that meat and dairy was served together. And who ate the meat and dairy? Verse 1-2 “And YHWH appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, while he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. So he lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw three men opposite him.”  So it was ELOHIM and two messengers or angels and we know He wouldn’t break His own Torah.

Orley then states: “In my family, you have to wait an hour after eating meat before you can have diary.” Then she says “Kosher law requires you to have separate plates and dishwashers for your milk meals and your meat meals so that the two never, ever cross. This is not cheap or space-efficient, and it makes you feel like you have double-vision. Also, if you ever mess up and put meat on a dairy plate or vice-versa, you have to bury the plate in the earth for 8 years…”

Are you starting to see the burden of these false traditions they hold that are not found in the Torah? Orley is living the life in Judaism and is calling it a burden. YESHUA’s Words are ALL truth!

What about Passover traditions of Judaism?

Exodus 12:8

And they shall eat the flesh (lamb) on that night, roasted in fire-with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs and they shall eat it.”

YHWH commands us to eat the Passover with lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs. So why does Judaism substitute what YHWH says for a Seder plate? What is on the Seder plate of Judaism that they have for Passover:

There are at least five foods that go on the Seder plate: shank bone (zeroa), egg (beitzah), bitter herbs (maror), vegetable (karpas) and a sweet paste called haroset. Many Seder plates also have room for a sixth, hazeret (another form of the bitter herbs). Why six compartments? YHWH’s number is 7.

Why does the Seder plate contain a shank bone with NO meat when YHWH said eat the meat? Why is there an egg on the plate that represents rebirth and renewal that stems from the pagan origins of what Christianity celebrates in Easter?

Another tradition Judaism observes on Passover is holding a seat for Elijah. It is literally an empty seat and during a certain moment in the ceremony a family member will get up and open the door to let the spirit of Elijah in? But we all know that Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind in 2 Kings 2:11

“..And Elijah went up by a whirlwind in the heavens.”

Mathew 17:10-12

And the disciples asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?” And YESHUA answering, said to them, “Elijah is indeed coming first, and shall restore all. But I say to you that Elijah has ALREADY COME, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they wanted. In this way the Son of Man is also about to suffer by them.” Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.”

So if Elijah ascended in to heaven and the Elijah that YESHUA was referring to is John the Baptist who is dead, then what spirit is being let in during the Seder? The only Spirit we need to receive is the Holy Spirit the Ruach ha’Kodesh.

Then on the Feast of Unleavened Bread that immediately follows Passover they have this tradition of what constitutes unleavened bread. YHWH says the se’or which is the leavening agent (yeast, baking soda, etc) combined with flour makes Chametz which is leavened bread. How does Judaism define chametz? According to Jerusalemcouncil.org “Chametz is any food that contains wheat, barley, oats, spelt, or rye that has been fermented. These particular grains will ferment by themselves in the presence of water. This process can begin in as little as 18 minutes.”

See how this command goes against the Word of YHWH? YHWH said no flour mixed with a leavening agent and nothing about fermentation of water! How can you make unleavened bread without the flour and water? Their tradition does not even mention leavening agents, but to remove all grains from the house. Also, nowhere in Scripture does YHWH say the process of leavening is an 18 minute window. He simply says do not eat anything with leaven in it, which is flour with a leavening agent combined.  Furthermore leavened bread, cakes, and leavening agents are not to be in your home! However, the flour by itself is fine because it contains no leavening agent and you need flour to make unleavened bread. Flour, water, and maybe oil that is it. But Judaism will have matzah ball soup that contains leaving agents like Sodium Bicarbonate in the matzah mix  that breaks the command.

What about the New Year?

Leviticus 23:24

Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you have a rest, a remembrance of blowing of trumpets, a holy gathering.”

This Holy Day is called Yom Teruah a day of shouting or making noise, but Judaism calls it Rosh Hoshanah saying that it is the Jewish New Year in September/October. Nowhere in that Scripture does YHWH refer to the 1st day of the 7th Month of Yom Teruah as the beginning of months. How can this be when YHWH says the beginning of the month for us is in Abib when Passover was instituted? Which is the month of March/April. We cannot have TWO New Years and the one called Rosh Hoshanah is the false one.

Exodus 12:1

And YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, “This month is the BEGINNING of months for you, it is the FIRST month of the year for you.”

So we see again that Judaism is speaking contrary to the Word of YHWH in favor of their traditions.

Chanukah bush?

Just like the pagan egg that represents Easter on the Seder plate for Passover is the same way Judaism has added another pagan element to their tradition called the Chanukah bush. Wikipedia defines it as: Hanukkah bush is a bush or tree—real or simulated—that some North American Jewish families display in their homes for the duration of Hanukkah. It may, for all intents and purposes, be a Xmas tree (without any Christian ornaments). YHWH said in Jeremiah 10:2

Thus said YHWH, “Do not learn the way of the gentiles….” Yet they managed to go and do just that! We are called to be set apart from this world and not become a part of it by adding their traditions into true worship. However they don’t want to feel left out or the children to feel neglected by what the world does so that make their version of it. This is self-assimilation, wanting to be like the nations around us.

Commanded to light Shabbat candles?

Every Friday night at the start of Shabbat the woman of the house will light the Shabbat candles and do a blessing over it saying “Blessed are you, Adonai our God, Sovereign of all, who hallows us with mitzvot, commanding us to kindle the light of Shabbat.” This is adding to the Word of YHWH through traditions which He said not to do because NOWHERE in Scripture does He command us to light Shabbat candles. You can’t take a tradition that you added and say YHWH commanded us to do it.

Calling YESHUA son of David

Mark 12:35-37

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

YESHUA came through the line of David as YHWH promised and Revelation 22:16 “I am the Root and the Offspring of David.” We all know that YESHUA is the Son of YHWH. He does not have a human dad whether it be Joseph or David.

Star of David

: M. Hirsch Goldberg in his book The Jewish Connection states: " The Star of David is not of Jewish origin - and the ancient Israelites never used it as their religious symbol" (they used the Menorah or Seven Candlestick). So, why did the six-pointed star become known as the Jewish star? This symbol was widely adopted, not because the Jewish people chose it, but ironically because Adolph Hitler forced all Jews to wear a yellow six-pointed star during the holocaust. The word holocaust means burnt offering, and the six-pointed star was used in the past when burnt human sacrifices were offered to Moloch and Ashtoreth in Baal worship. The few Jews who had anything to do with the Six-Pointed star (hexagram) were those who were involved in occult practices. Back to Hitler, would he put anything good on a Jew? Hitler meant to insult and destroy the Jews, and being wrapped up in the occult (read the book, The Nazis and the Occult ), he may have meant the Jews to be his burnt offering for power. Today, most Jews wear this star by choice, and without thinking or checking out its origin and usage through time. Wearing the six-pointed star became a fashion. I would just like to add that this seems like what happens today, where people say and do things or celebrate holidays without bothering to check the origin behind it. You just accept it because it was handed down to you, or you’re new to the faith and except all things Jewish thinking it’s all the same. But as we can see there is a big difference. Continuing with the article:

The first mention of the six-pointed star in Israelite literature was in Amos 5:6, when YAHWEH angrily tells His people that " I hate and despise your feast days…. You shall take up Siccuth, your king and Chiun your images, the star of your God…." Siccuth (Sakkuth) and Chiun (Kaiwan) means "star" and refers to Saturn as a star, and was objects of idolatrous worship, as they were considered to be Assyrian gods. The mixed multitude that went out of Egypt with the children of Israel took the star with them. Like the obelisk, the six-pointed star was an Egyptian idol used in idolatrous worship. In 922 B.C. when Solomon married the daughter of Pharoah, he became involved in Egyptian idol worship and went into magic, and witchcraft. Solomon built an altar to Ashtoreth and Moloch, and the six-pointed star, the chief symbol of human sacrifices in magic and witchcraft circles, came to be called the Seal of Solomon.

Solomon did not heed the subsequent warnings from YAHWEH to cease from these abominable practices, even after YAHWEH threatened to rend the Kingdom of Israel from his son's hand. And indeed, the split occurred after Solomon's death. Solomon's idolatry caused the Kingdom of Israel to be split in two. The practices he introduced to the children of Israel eventually caused the House of Israel to go into exile into the Caucasus, and the House of Judah to go into captivity. It was Josiah who later destroyed this forbidden altar. Did you know that the number 666 was connected to Solomon? (1 Kings 10:14) Yes, 666 talents of gold was sent to Solomon each month by none other than the King of Tyrus. After you have read this account in the book of 1 Kings, turn to Ezekiel Chapter 28. Oh, what a tangled web was weaved, when Solomon practiced to deceive. King Solomon left many articles which proved his blatant idolatry, such as King Solomon's Mirror, King Solomon's Comb, and the six-pointed star, which became known as the Seal of Solomon in the witchcraft and occult world.

King David was Solomon's father, but he was never an idolater. He made it absolutely clear that YAHWEH Himself was his shield, not only in Psalm 3:3 but in Psalm 28:7, Psalm 119:114, and Psalm 144:2.

The book, The Six-Pointed Star, is the first and only academic work which documents the origin and historical usage of this symbol. From Egypt to Solomon, to Arab magic, and witchcraft, to Druid uses, to freemasonry, to Mayer Amschel Bauer, who in the 17th century changes his name to depict the red six-pointed star which hung on his door in Germany, and thus began the family of "Rothschild" (meaning red shield). The Rothschild family incorporated this symbol in their Court of Arms. The research traced the six-pointed star through the kabbalah, to astrology, to Hitler and his putting a yellow six-pointed star on Jews during the holocaust, to the Zionist symbol, and finally to the flag of the State of Israel and beyond.

Because this symbol is comprised of a six within a six within a six (i.e. 6 points, 6 triangles, 6 sides of the inner hexagon) the research also includes a look at the 666 prophecies in the Book of Daniel etc., regarding the "willful king" (anti-Christ) and the "mark of the Beast." Included too, is the Scriptural significance of the number seven, and the Biblical description of the real Messiah, and the seven-branched Candlestick (Menorah), which God gave to the children of Israel as an everlasting Covenant, which is also mentioned in the New Testament and the Book of the Revelation. All sources are written at the bottom of each page making it easy for readers to see and check for themselves. It is the first and only book published on the origin and history of the six-pointed star. The book contains shocking information regarding the usage of the six-pointed star and its intimidating link with mankind. Have a good read. Also, stay away from the Hasma which is a hand with “one eye on the palm.” We know what the one eye represents and that is Satan.

Stay away from Judaism with the hypocrisy and lawlessness

Luke 12:1

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

Mathew 23:13

But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the reign of the heaven before men, for you do not go in, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.”

An example of their hypocrisy is found in:

John 7: 19-23

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

See the hypocrisy? The Pharisees accused YESHUA of breaking the Sabbath because He healed a man’s entire body on the Sabbath, yet they would circumcise their son on the 8th day according to the Torah on the Sabbath to keep the commandment (Leviticus 12:3), what’s the difference? Their added tradition of what they viewed as work made them hypocrites of what they were doing themselves. They healed a small portion of a child’s body and YESHUA healed the entire body, yet they didn’t view their circumcision as work, but viewed YESHUA’s healing as work. They also would pull a sheep out of a pit to save the animal and YESHUA said how much more the life of a man Mathew 12.  They were also mad when YESHUA healed a woman who had been bound by Satan for 18 years, yet they would loosen their ox from the stall to get water. Follow YESHUA The Way, The Truth, and The Life only and not the commands of men!
