Feast of Tabernacles 2020! Abraham celebrated it!

After Yom Kippur is Sukkot the Feast of Tabernacles on October 7th (no work day) and is celebrated from 7 days ending on the October 13th. Then October 14th is the 8th Day Closing Assembly a NO WORK DAY!

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

The true thanksgiving is Sukkot/The Feast of Tabernacles/The Feast of In-gathering which is on the 15th Day of the 7th month; however, Satan has mocked YAHWEH as usual and has the world rejecting YAHWEH’S days with a pagan substitute. There is nothing new under the sun and we can see that Jeroboam mocked YAHWEH’s Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles by making his own day EXACTLY ONE MONTH after YAHWEH’s similarly to what the world has done today:

1 Kings 12:32

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

Leviticus 23:34-44 saying:

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

Get away from the false thanksgiving and follow YHWH’s true Thanksgiving which is Sukkot the Feast of Tabernacles.

Sukkot details:

The third of the Fall Appointed Times (Moedim) commanded by YHWH is on Wednesday, October 7th. Also, we are commanded to do no work on the 1st Day and the 8th Day, meaning the celebration starts October 7th ( NO WORK DAY) and ends next October 14th (NO WORK DAY).

October 14th is the day is 8th Day Closing assembly to close out the year on YHWH’s calendar of Holy Days.

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

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

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

YHWH continues in verse 39 by saying: 'So beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the crops of the land, celebrate the festival to YHWH for seven days; the first day is a day of rest (October 7th), and the eighth day also is a day of rest (October 14th). On the first day you are to take choice fruit from the trees, and palm trees, twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the stream, and rejoice before YHWH your ELOHIM for seven days. Celebrate this as a festival to YHWH for seven days each year-a LAW forever in your generations; celebrate it in the seventh month. Live in booths for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in booths so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt. I am YHWH your ELOHIM.”

As I always point out, that once you have accepted YESHUA as your Messiah and Savior then you have become grafted in as ONE with the native-born Israelite; the Hebrew word is “Ger”, meaning you are grafted into the nation of Yisra’el. So let us all get into the spirit of this beautiful feast to dwell in booths and rejoice before YHWH our Elohim as He commanded us. A few examples:

Isaiah 56:6

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

Numbers 15:15-16

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

Ezekiel 47:22

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

Mathew 17:1-4

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

As we see Peter knew the importance of the booth/tabernacle/succah to build for all three of them and remember Elijah was not a native-born Israelite, he was a Tishbite which usually translates as stranger or sojourner. Elijah was special and was a servant of YHWH and one of two men who ascended to heaven; and we see Peter did not exclude him from having a booth. Elijah even equated himself with the lineage of Yisra’el when he said in 1 Kings 19:4

“It is enough! Now, YHWH, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers!”

Sukkot instructions continued:

Numbers 29:12-32

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

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

Ephesians 5:2

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

Hosea 12:9

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

Genesis 33:17

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

Abraham celebrated it

Jubilees 16:20-31

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

That is exactly what YHWH commands in Leviticus 23:39-42 that we read earlier:

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

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

Galatians 3:27-29

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

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

Genesis 26:5

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

How are we to celebrate this Feast?

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

Nehemiah 8:13-18 says:

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

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

So we see that Abraham and those who came back from Babylonian exile followed the exact came command of Leviticus 23 which is to REJOICE, DWELL IN BOOTHS FOR 7 DAYS, AND TAKE PALM BRANCHES, LEAFY BRANCHES, WILLOWS OF THE STEAM AND BLESS YHWH.

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

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

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

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

John 1:14

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

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

Enoch 1:3-4

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

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

Revelation 21:3

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

Numbers 1:52

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

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

Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement 2020!

The second of the Fall Appointed Times (Moedim) commanded by YHWH is starting on October 1st at sundown to October 2nd sundown is the Holiest (Kodesh) Day of the year, Yom ha’kippurim (Yom Kippur) The Day of Atonement. Make sure you do NO WORK on this day.

Does this day apply to Christians? Yes! Just as all YAHWEH’s Holy Days do:

Isaiah 56:6

“Also the sons of the foreigner (gentile/Christian) who JOIN themselves to YHWH, to serve Him, and to love the name of YHWH, to be His servants, ALL WHO GUARD MY SABBATHS, and not profane it, and hold fast to My Covenant.” (Brenton Septuagint 1800’s)

So in order for the gentile to join Himself to YHWH and be grafted in; they must keep the commandments just as the Native-born. YHWH has the weekly 7th Day Sabbath and all of His Holy Days/Feast Days are called Sabbaths too, which means they all apply for native-born and gentile.

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

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

Leviticus 16:29-34

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

Numbers 29:7-11

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

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

Ephesians 5:2

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

As mentioned in the last blog/broadcast there are two Shabbat Shabbaton’s which means a complete rest, complete stopping, no working, cooking, cleaning, buying or selling; which are the weekly 7th Day Sabbath and The Day of Atonement.
Anah (ah-nah) - means to bow down or afflict
Nefesh (neh-fesh)-soul or yourself

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

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

2 Chronicles 20:3-4

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

What is involved in a fast?

On Yom Kippur we are commanded not to work and to completely afflict our souls and deny ourselves, which means at least a 24 hour fast of no food or water. We can deny ourselves through fasting because we need food and water to live and in doing so we are denying our being for the day. Some examples include weeping, mourning, and fasting: I also would recommend fasting and laying in sackcloth as they did in ancient Yisra’el and even putting dust on our heads to completely humble ourselves. What is sackcloth? A very coarse, rough fabric woven from flax, hemp, or jute vegetable fibers.

Joel (Yo’el) 2:12

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

2 Chronicles 34:27

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

Esther 4:15-16

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

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

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

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

Job 16:15

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

Job 42:6

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

Lamentations 2:10

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

 1 Kings 21:27

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

1 Chronicles 21:16

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

Nehemiah 9:1

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

Mathew 11:21

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

Jonah 3:4-5

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

YESHUA is now our High Priest

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

Exodus 12:5

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

Leviticus 16:22

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

Isaiah 53:6

“Truly, He has borne our sicknesses and carried our pains. Yet we reckoned Him stricken, smitten by ELOHIM, and afflicted. But He was pierced for transgressions, He was crushed for our WICKEDNESSES. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. We all, like sheep, went astray; each one of us has turned to his own way. And YHWH has laid on HIM THE WICKEDNESS OF US ALL.” The Lamb of YHWH that can be taken from the sheep or the goats.

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

YESHUA The High Priest

While atonement was being made; the high priest did all the work and the community of Yisra’el did not need to do anything.

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

Hebrews 7:26-27

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

Why is YESHUA from Judah and not tribe of Levi?

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

 Micah 5:2

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

 1 Chronicles 28:4

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

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

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

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

Hebrews 7:13-15

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

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

YESHUA can relate with humanity

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

Hebrews 4:15-16

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

1 John 2:1-2 says:

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

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

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

Mathew 26:39

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

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

1 John 4:9-10:

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

Yom Teruah aka Trumpets 2020

Shalom to my fellow brothers and sisters in YESHUA ha’Mashiach. We are now entering the season of all the Fall Moedim (M0-ed-deem) which means Appointed times, Feasts/Fasts that YHWH ELOHIM commanded us to observe each year.

I’m going to go over each of the Appointed Times/Holy Days separately, ELOHIM willing. However, I want to tell everyone in advance the days you need to take off because they are Holy Days where you are not allowed to work:

September 23rd is Yom Teruah (Evening of September 22nd to evening of 23rd)

October 2nd is Yom Kippur (Evening of October 1st  to evening of October 2nd  )

October 7th (no work) is Sukkot which runs for 7 days and then no work on October 14th.

As mentioned above the first Holy Day is Yom Teruah/Trumpets which means “The Day of Shouting” is on the 23rd of this month which is equivalent to the 1st day of the 7th month in YHWH’s eyes.

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

"Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying, 'In the seventh month (Ethanim), on the first day of the month, you have a REST, a remembrance of blowing of trumpets, a holy gathering.” You DO NO SERVILE WORK, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to YHWH.”

I would just like to reiterate that you are not do any work on September 23rd (From the evening of the September 22nd to the evening of September 23rd.) Make sure you take this day off.

Numbers 10:10

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

This makes a lot sense because Yom Teruah is on 1st day the beginning of the 7th month and it’s an Appointed Time and we will be blowing trumpets/shofars, which matches what YHWH said in Numbers 10:10. We are allowed to prepare food for the celebration and that is all you may do, being that it is a High-Sabbath but not a Shabbat Shabbaton such as the weekly 7th Day Sabbath or Yom Kippur which is a fasting day. Similarly to how cooking is all we can do on Feast of Unleavened Bread which occurs after Passover.

Numbers 29:1-6

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

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

Ephesians 5:2

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

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

Romans 12:1

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

1 Peter 2:4-5

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

Fact:

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

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

Joshua 6:5-6:

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

2 Chronicles 13:14-15

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

So just like Joshua at Jericho when they shouted to make the walls collapse, so did Abiyah son of Reoboam with Judah and YHWH remembered them.

1 Samuel 4:5-6 says:

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

Psalms 66:1

"Teruah (shout) with joy to ELOHIM, All the earth!" 

Psalms 100:1

Raise a Teruah (shout) for YHWH, All the earth!

There are four primary types of shofar blasts:

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

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

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

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

Numbers 10:9

“And when you go into battle in your land against the enemy that distresses you, then you shall SHOUT (TERUAH) with the trumpets, and you shall be remembered, before YHWH your ELOHIM, and you shall be saved from your enemies.”

Nehemiah 4:18-20

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

Mathew 24:31

“And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the shamayim to the other.”

Let us do as David said and TERUAH (SHOUT) all the earth with shouting and blowing the shofar! Does this day apply to Christians? Yes! Just as all YAHWEH’s Holy Days do:

Isaiah 56:6

“Also the sons of the foreigner (gentile/Christian) who JOIN themselves to YHWH, to serve Him, and to love the name of YHWH, to be His servants, ALL WHO GUARD THE SABBATHS, and not profane it, and hold fast to My Covenant.”

So in order for the gentile to join Himself to YHWH and be grafted in; they must keep the commandments just as the Native-born. YHWH has the weekly 7th Day Sabbath and all of His Holy Days/Feast Days are called Sabbaths too, which means they all apply for native-born and gentile.

Blessings to you in YESHUA ha’Mashiach's name,

Men and Women cover your bodies!

This is a topic that is uncomfortable for many, but as followers of YESHUA we are called to come out of the world and be separate.

Genesis 3:9-10

“And YHWH ELOHIM called unto Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” And he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.”

Jubilees 3:15-16

“And in the first week of the first Jubilee, Adam and his wife were in the Garden of Eden for seven years tilling and keeping it, and we gave him work and we instructed him to do all that is suitable for serving. And he tilled the garden, and was naked and was not aware of it, and was NOT ASHAMED…”

So we see that Adam tilled the garden naked and was NOT ASHAMED, but when he and Eve at the fruit that they became ashamed. Which is why it’s called covering the “shame of your nakedness”. Their sin changed everything from the shame of their nakedness to them being immortal to mortal, to thorns and thistles, sin and death.

Genesis 3:20-21

“And the man called his wife’s name Hawwah (Eve), because she became the mother of all living. And YHWH ELOHIM made COATS OF SKIN for the man and his wife and DRESSED THEM.”

So YHWH Himself clothed and dressed Adam and Eve after their sin, and covered the shame of their nakedness with coats of skin.

Jubilees 3:30-31

“And to Adam alone He gave the means to cover his shame (nakedness), of all the beasts and cattle. On this account, it is prescribed on the tablets of the heavens as regarding all those who know the Right-Ruling of the Torah, that they SHOULD COVER THEIR SHAME, AND SHOULD NOT UNCOVER THEMSELVES AS THE GENTILES UNCOVER THEMSELVES.”

Notice how he says they should not uncover themselves as the gentiles who are non-believers and don’t know YESHUA, meaning that those who claim to know Him and follow Him should know better. A believer should be set apart and now follow or do what the pagan nations around them are doing. A gentile that is grafted into the Nation of Yisra’el is no longer called a gentile but a fellow citizen of Yisra’el (Ger in Hebrew) as Paul explains in Ephesians 2:8-19). Similarly to what Paul says

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5

“For this is the desire of ELOHIM: your holiness!-that you should abstain from whoring, that each one of you should know how to possess his own vessel in holiness and respect, NOT in passion of lust, LIKE THE GENTILES WHO DO NOT KNOW ELOHIM..”

Jubilees 7:20

“And in the twenty-eight 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, and to bless their Creator….”

Genesis 9:22-23

“And Ham, the dad of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his dad, and told his two brothers outside. So Shem and Yepeth took a garment, laid it on the both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their dad, but their FACES WERE TURNED AWAY, and they did not see their dad’s nakedness.”

Exodus 20:25

“And if you make Me an altar of stone, do not build it of cut stone, for if you use your chisel on it, you have profaned it. Nor do you go up by steps to My altar, lest your NAKEDNESS be exposed on it.”

So we see that YHWH does not want to see the nakedness of mankind which is why He did not even want steps on His altar. So when you come into the presence of YHWH for prayer make sure that you are covered up. Don’t get so comfortable that you are praying to Him with almost nothing on, cover yourselves.

Revelation 3:18

“I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, so that you become rich; and white garments, so that you become DRESSED, SO THAT THE SHAME OF YOUR NAKEDNESS MIGHT NOT BE SHOWN…”

Revelation 16:15

“See, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who is staying awake and guarding his garments, lest he walked NAKED AND THEY SEE HIS SHAME.”

This example shows that the righteous will look away as to not see the nakedness of someone even if it is a family member. However in the world today nakedness is in your face 24/7 so is has become acceptable. The enemy of this world has desensitized and deceived the world into making them think it is okay when it is not. But, once you come into Covenant with our ELOHIM we are to follow His Commands and not be like the gentiles who do not know ELOHIM!

This means no man should be showing his chest, wearing wife beaters to show muscles and no woman should be wearing short dresses, daisy dukes, and neither should be skinny dipping showing the world you nakedness. Both men and women will wear tight clothing for fashion reasons or to work out at the gym wearing spandex outfits that will outline their bodies for the whole world to see.

 1 Timothy 2:9 says:

“Likewise, that the women dress themselves becomingly, with decency and sensibleness, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly garments.”

The goal is to not to draw unnecessary attention to yourselves, but to let the world see YESHUA in you; meaning that you have died to self and no longer live to self. In our modern society there is sex on television and nakedness in the streets and pretty much wherever you go. I want to remind everyone that we are not even supposed to be watching nakedness or porn to TV, you are still seeing someone’s nakedness. YESHUA said that even if we lust after a woman in our own hearts we have already committed adultery

Mathew 5:27-28

“You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

My fellow brothers and sisters we are not to cause others to stumble in their walks with YESHUA whether it be a man or woman. Cover up your bodies as to not be a stumbling block for someone who is still struggling in the flesh. It’s not supposed to be about you anyway. Many will say “If you can’t stop looking then that’s your own problem”, the problem with that statement is that you are still supposed to be covered up regardless!

Notice how you will see women in the Middle East and a few other cultures of women covering their entire bodies as to not cause a man to lust after them. Plus, they understand that the nakedness of a woman is for her husband to see only and not for the entire world to see. Though I do not believe in the Muslim faith I agree on how their women dress by covering up themselves. Even the men in Scripture wore long tunics or robes that movies show YESHUA wearing during His day.

However, justifications are made to make dressing or staring at nakedness okay just like with any other scripture that believers don’t want to obey. Men will say “I can look as long as I don’t touch.’ That’s an answer from Satan, because once you start gawking at the woman and imaging what you would do to her then you have committing adultery by lusting after her as YESHUA said. And women are not exempt for gawking and staring at a man’s nakedness and thinking of what they would do to him. This goes back to what I was saying earlier is that if you were covered up this wouldn’t happen to begin with. Most women will admit that when they wear revealing clothes they receive unwanted attention, but when they cover themselves including their hair, men show less interest or no interest at all.

This type of behavior has been accepted by our society instead of rejected by our society. We can look back no further than the 1950’s and see that women covered themselves. The way men and women dress today would not have been accepted in society no more than 70 years ago. Our Father YHWH speaks out against these things that the world says is normal and that is always the case, what He approves of the world will reject!

.What did men and women wear?

Men and women both wore tunics or robes with a sash which had to include tsistsit/tassels/fringes on them according to the command of YHWH which says:

Numbers 15:38-39

“Speak to the children of Yisra’el (including women), and you shall say to them to make tsitsit (tassels/fringes) on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and put a purple cord in the tsitsit of the corners. And it shall be to you for a tsitsit, and you shall see it, and shall remember all the Commands of YHWH and shall do them, and not search after your own heart and your own eyes after which you went whoring.”

So whatever tunic you wear make sure it contains the tsitsit/tassels/fringes for the man and the woman. There are many different styles of tunics and robes that can be worn just make sure it does not contain mixed fabrics, make sure it has fringes, and make sure the garment covers your body.

In an article by Charles Pope in 2017 titled “What Sort of Clothing did people in YESHUA’s Time wear?”

In everyday life, men and women alike wore garments often referred to as “tunics.” A tunic was a simple, one-piece robe, usually belted at the waist, with a hole for the head and two holes for the arms. People wore both an inner garment and an outer garment, each with a similar shape.

The inner garment (under clothing) resembled a long, loose-fitting T-shirt or a kimono (flat, T-shaped garment with square sleeves and a rectangular body, one piece garment). It was made of linen, cotton, or sometimes soft wool. For penitential (regret, wrongdoing, sinning, and repentance) reasons some would occasionally wear inner tunics made of sackcloth or camel hair. The earliest of these garments were made without sleeves and reached only to the knees; later the garment often extended to the wrists and ankles. A man wearing only this inner garment was said to be naked (e.g., 1 Samuel 19:24, Isaiah 20:2–4). Nothing at all was worn underneath the inner garment (except by Essene men, who wore a close-fitting loincloth).

The belt (also called a cincture or girdle) was a band of cloth, cord, or leather that could be loosened or tightened. It was worn around the inner and/or outer garment. Its use prevented the flowing robes (OFTEN LONG) from interfering with movement. The biblical expression “to gird up the loins” meant to put on the belt, thus freeing the lower legs to permit work and easy walking. The expression signified that the person was ready for service; it is largely equivalent to the modern expression, “roll up your sleeves.”

The outer tunic, also called a mantle or robe, was worn over the inner tunic. It consisted of a square or oblong strip of cloth with a hole for the head. Sometimes it had sleeves and sometimes was more like a poncho, with the area for the arms cut back. It was worn as a protective covering; people did not go out in public without some sort of outer tunic. A bag or purse was often attached to the belt, fastened with a buckle.

While most Israelite men and women wore LONG (ankle-length) tunics, short (knee-length) tunics were worn by slaves, soldiers, and those engaging in work that required mobility. ( I would like to add: Notice how those who were not slaves or working were fully covered with long robes or tunics going down to the ankles?, The only time the knee was exposed was to work when they girded up their loins to free themselves up for mobility.)

The cloak – In cooler weather, a cloak might be worn on top of these tunics. Cloaks could be designed either with sleeves or without.

Sandals were worn on the feet. They had wooden soles and were fastened with straps of leather. Jews did not wear sandals indoors; they removed them upon entering the house and washed their feet.

In terms of the basics, men and women dressed much alike. However, there were clearly differences because Scripture warns, A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the YHWH your ELOHIM (Deut 22:5).

For women, the inner garment was largely identical to that for men. However, the outer garment was longer, with enough border fringe to largely cover the feet (Isaiah 47:2).

So obviously a man should not wear panties as his inner garment nor should a woman put on boxers of a man as her inner garment. That would still be identical because a piece is covering the top and a piece is covering the bottom.

Isaiah 47:2

“Take the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up the skirt, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.”

This is clear evidence that women’s legs were covered with a long skirt, so that she had to lift up the skirt to pass through the river.

 The outer garment was cinched with a belt similar to that used by men, but it was ornamented differently (and usually more elaborately). In some regions, women’s outer garments sported different patterns than those worn by men. In addition, a woman might don an apron on top of the outer garment, in order to protect it and to enable her to carry things. The apron was usually attached to the belt and covered the lower half of the body.

The veil – There is debate as to how widespread the wearing of the veil was for Jewish women in Jesus’ day. It is certain that they wore them in the synagogue and the Temple (cf 1 Cor 11:15).

Genesis 24:64-65

“And Rebecca lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel, and she said to the servant, “Who is this man walking in the field to meet us? And the servant said, “It is my master.” So she took a VEIL AND COVERED HERSELF.”

Song of Songs 5:7

“The watchmen found me, who went about the city. They struck me, they bruised me; the keepers of the walls LIFTED MY VEIL FROM ME.”

Shoshanna 1:31-32 (Included in 1611 KJV)

“Now Shoshanna was a very delicate woman, and lovely to look at. And these wicked men commanded to UNCOVER HER FACE-for she was COVERED-that they might be filled with her loveliness.” Verse 1-3 “There dwelt a man in Babel, called Yoyaqim, and he took a wife, whose name was Shoshanna, the daughter of Hilqiyahu, a very lovely woman, and one that REVERED YHWH. Her parents were ALSO RIGHTEOUS, and taught their daughter according to the TORAH OF MOSES.”

So we see that Shoshanna was righteous and she feared YHWH; and her parents were also righteous and taught her according to the commandments of the Torah and we see that her face was covered.

Isaiah 47:2

“Take the millstones and grind flour. REMOVE YOUR VEIL, lift up the skirt, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.”

Those four scriptures are good indicators that women wore head coverings!

Now back to the article:

  It is also quite certain that unmarried women wore them. However, it is less evident that Jewish women wore them all the time, especially at home; some of them didn’t even wear them in public. It would seem that Jewish women in Roman Judea (i.e., the south, around Jerusalem, Jericho, and Bethlehem) wore hairnets, examples of which have been discovered at sites such as Masada.

So perhaps women did not wear a veil at all times as is now the custom in much of the Middle East. Other sources speak of the head covering being typical for both men and women and describe it as a length of cloth around the shoulders that could be pulled over the head and tied at the forehead, falling over the shoulders. Perhaps the veil or head covering was something that was used strategically, such as when one needed protection from the sun or wished to pray.

As always if you are still concerned about anything that was presented, please take it to our Father YHWH and His Son YESHUA in prayer, He is always faithful to respond to those who are truly seeking Him. And as always may YHWH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

Are we rehearsing on earth for what is to come?

After seeing so many being led astray by the false teaching surrounding Paul’s words in Colossians 2:16-17, it is necessary to address this situation because time is running for believers to wake up and accept the full truth. Paul said in Thessalonians that those who perish would perish because they refused to love the truth.

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

“And for this reason ELOHIM sends them a working of delusion, for them to believe the falsehood, in order that all should be judged who did not believe THE TRUTH, but have delighted in the unrighteousness.”

So ELOHIM will send a strong delusion to believers who say they know Him by sending a strong delusion because they have delighted in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS and refused THE TRUTH! What is the opposite of unrighteousness? It is Righteousness! So now let us see how The Scriptures define righteousness and truth?

Deuteronomy 6:25

“And it is RIGHTEOUSNESS for us when we guard to do all these Commands before YHWH our ELOHIM, as He has commanded us.”

Psalms 119:142

“Your righteousness is righteousness forever and Your TORAH IS TRUTH.”

So now armed with those two definitions we can go back to what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12; and we see that Paul is saying that ELOHIM will send a delusion for those who believe falsehood, because they have REJECTED the truth which is defined as the Torah/Laws; and have delighted in unrighteousness, which means they delighted in being “LAWLESS!” They did the exact opposite of what the definition of righteousness is by saying the law is done away with and did not obey the Torah, Laws, and Commands. These will perish because to them it’s “once saved always saved” and “saved by grace alone” “I can esteem any day I want while rejecting the Sabbath” this is the strong delusion that they have been following and believing a lie and not the truth.

Romans 1:18

“For the wrath of ELOHIM is revealed from the heavens against all wickedness and unrighteousness of men, who SUPPRESS THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.”

We see that people today and the Pastors have suppressed (hidden) the Truth which is defined as the Torah/Law in favor of unrighteousness which is (Lawless/doing away with the law), which is why so many are deceived by their false teachings.

Uncovering Colossians 2:16-17

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.”

This is the scripture that believers will point to and say “see you can’t judge me in Festival, Sabbaths or New Moons.” And with this mindset, lawless doctrines are formed making them believe that the commandments are “Just for the Jews” and they also believe that there is a law for the Jews of the Old Testament and another for the New Testament Christians. This is a huge lie because there is only ONE FAITH and ONE LAW for native-born and gentiles that are grafted in. Once you accept YESHUA as your Savior and keep the commandments that were NEVER DONE AWAY WITH you will be grafted into the nation of Yisra’el just as the native-born. It’s not New Testament it’s the Renewed Covenant founded on better promises through the Mediator of the New Covenant in YESHUA! So that means there are not even two different faiths let alone 51,000 different denominations of Christianity, which is why Paul says:

Ephesians 4:4-6

“ONE BODY, and ONE SPIRIT, as you also were called in ONE expectation of your calling, ONE MASTER, ONE FAITH, ONE IMMERSION (BAPTISM), ONE ELOHIM and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

So what was Paul saying in Colossians 2:16-17?

Paul is saying let no man judge you for knowing the TRUTH, because The Festivals (Leviticus 23), New Moons, and Sabbaths are PROPHETIC EVENTS that we will still be doing in the future when are YESHUA returns; therefore, do not let anybody judge you for obeying ELOHIM and keeping His Commandments, because we are REHEARSING ON EARTH for the arrival of YESHUA! And how do we know this?

Zechariah 14:16-19 says:

“Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, YHWH Almighty, and to celebrate the FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT (THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES). If ANY OF THE PEOPLES OF THE EARTH do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the king, YHWH Almighty, they will have no rain. If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. YHWH will bring on them the plague He inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate The FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT (THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES). This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of ALL the nations that do not go up to celebrate the FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT (THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES).”

So we see that when YESHUA comes to reign for 1,000 years on the earth that ALL NATIONS including the Egyptian will have to come up to Jerusalem to celebrate The Festival of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) or have no rain. This points exactly to what Paul was saying about the Festivals being “a prophetic shadow of what is to come.” If the entire world will have to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles when YESHUA returns, then how is the law done away with? Or if the law just for the Jews, then why do the ALL NATIONS including the Egyptians having to celebrate it? We know the Egyptians are not native born Israelites/Jews. And where is Sukkot aka The Feast of Tabernacles found? We find it in the Torah that Christianity says is done away with.

 Leviticus 23:34

“Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT (FEAST OF TABERNACLES) for seven days to YHWH.”

 Deuteronomy 16:13-15

 “Perform the FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT (FEAST OF TABERNACLES) for seven days after the ingathering from your threshing floor and from your winepress, and you shall rejoice in your Festival, you and your son and your daughter, and your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite, and the STRANGER (GENTILE) and the fatherless and the widow who are within our gates.”

So the same Festival that YHWH commanded us to observe in the Old Covenant will be celebrated when YESHUA comes!

 The Sabbath Day

Isaiah 66:22-23

 “For as the NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH that I make stand before Me,” declares YHWH, “so your seed and your name shall stand. And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, ALL flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares YHWH.”

 So again we see during the 1,000 reign with the new heaven and earth that YHWH has made, He says from New Moon to New Moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath that ALL (not some) flesh will worship Him. This again is a prophetic shadow of what will happen when YESHUA comes just as Paul said. And we can see the Sabbath will still be observed as also the New Moon that Paul spoke about.

Ezekiel gives us a prophecy of the 1,000 year reign and even gives details about what the Temple of YHWH will look like in Chapter 41. Does Ezekiel still say the Sabbath and New Moon will be observed?

 Ezekiel 46:1

“Thus said the Adon (Master) YHWH, “The gate of the inner courtyard facing east is shut the six days of work, but on the SABBATH it is opened, and on the day of the NEW MOON it is opened.”

Passover

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

“For I received from the Adon (Master) that which I also delivered to you: that the Adon

 YESHUA in the night 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 remembrance 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 remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you PROCLAIM THE DEATH OF THE ADON UNTIL HE COMES.”

 So we are to observe Passover every year to proclaim the death of YESHUA until He comes as remembrance of Him! So if you aren’t observing Passover then you aren’t remembering Him as YESHUA says. And when YESHUA comes we will be observing Passover with Him in the Kingdom!

Mathew 26:26-29

 “And as they were eating, YESHUA took bread, and having blessed, broke and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat, this is My body.” And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood, that of the Renewed Covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. But I say to you, I shall certainly NOT DRINK OF THIS FRUIT OF THE VINE FROM NOW ON TILL THAT DAY WHEN I DRINK IT ANEW WITH YOU IN THE REIGN OF MY FATHER.”

 Micah 4:1-2

 “And in the LATTER DAYS it shall be that the mountain of the House of YHWH is established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills. And PEOPLES SHALL FLOW TO IT. AND MANY NATIONS shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH, to the House of ELOHIM of Jacob, and let Him teach us HIS WAYS, and let us walk in His paths. For out of Zion comes forth the Torah, and the Word of YHWH from Jerusalem.”

 So again, we see the prophetic picture of YESHUA reigning in Jerusalem for 1,000 years and all the nations will come to learn the Way of YHWH and even the Torah is mentioned. Notice how Micah says the nations will say “and let Him teach us His Ways?” How is “The Way” defined in Scripture?

Psalms 119:1

 “Blessed are the perfect in THE WAY, WHO WALK IN THE TORAH OF YHWH.”

 So we see that “The Way” points right back to the Torah the commandments that Christianity says are done away with. Yet we see the Torah being kept and being taught when YESHUA comes. Those who are alive living outside the gates of Jerusalem (those not reigning with YESHUA) during the 1,000 year reign are going to have to come up to learn the Torah and we already have seen how The Festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths will still be observed. So I encourage everyone to learn His Ways now! And just to show that the scripture from Micah is a prophecy we can look at :

Micah 4:7 which says:

 “And I shall make the lame a remnant, and the outcast a strong nation. And YHWH shall reign over them in Mount Zion, from now on and forever.” And we all know that this has not happened yet.

 Paul’s words confirmed

These Moedim/Appointed Times/Festivals/Holy Days remind us of the things that YHWH has done and what He plans to do, and also points to the coming of our MASTER YESHUA!

So again Paul’s words are confirmed that everything we do on earth is a rehearsal and a prophetic shadow of what is to come. The Sabbath, New Moon, and all of the Festivals found in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16 which are Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Shavuot/Pentecost, Yom Teruah/Trumpets, Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement, Festival of Sukkot/The Feast of Tabernacles, and the 8th Day Closing assembly were never done away, people just twisted Paul’s words because they wanted them to be done away with!

 If The Torah and Festivals are not important, then why are they still being observed when YESHUA returns? The word miqra in Strong’s #4744 (mik-raw) in Hebrew means an assembly, a holy convocation, a reading, or REHEARSEL. So not only does YHWH want to meet with us on these important Holy Days, He also wants us to gather together as an assembly and rehearse these Festivals/Holy Days forever because they do not end on this present earth. YHWH has commanded His people to observe and practice these Feasts because they are “dress rehearsals” for the coming of our King YESHUA and we must be ready. We know that rehearsal is the practice of something in order to perfect it before the “real event” or finale and that is what He expects from us

  So if you aren’t rehearsing them now, then how will you be ready for the finale when YESHUA returns?

Don’t forget that we will be serving YHWH and YESHUA as kings and priests:

Revelation 1:5-6

“And from YESHUA ha’Mashiach, the trustworthy Witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us KINGS AND PRIESTS to His ELOHIM and Father, to him be esteem and rule forever and ever. Ahmein.”

Revelation 5:9-10

“And they sang a renewed song, saying, “You are worthy to be take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and have redeemed us to YHWH by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and made us KINGS AND PRIESTS to our ELOHIM, and we shall reign upon the earth.”

Revelation 20:6

“Blessed and holy is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death possesses no authority over these, but they shall be PRIESTS of YHWH and of Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”

On earth as it is in heaven

Many believers recite the words when saying the “Master’s Prayer” prayer, but they hold a deeper meaning than they ever noticed. “Our Father who are in heaven let Your Name be holy, let Your reign come, let Your desire be done on earth as it is in the heavens.” This should be one of the greatest indicators that we are rehearsing on earth to what is done in heaven.

The thing is that we can’t do it on our own, we need the grace of YESHUA with His blood atonement, but also as the Holy Spirit.

Ezekiel 36:26

“And I shall give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. And I shall take the heart of stone out of your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh, and put My Spirit within you. And I shall cause you to walk in My Laws and guard My Right-Rulings and shall DO THEM”

 Ecclesiastes 12:13

 “Let us hear the conclusion of the ENTIRE matter: Revere (fear) ELOHIM and guard His Commands, for this is to ALL MANKIND! (Not just the Jews!)”

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

The Pharmacy DECEPTION! Do you trust in pills?

Revelation 18:23

 “And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you any more at all. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you any more at all. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your DRUG SORCERY (Greek word pharmakeia) all the nations were led astray.”

Notice the words in Revelation 18:23 is DRUG SORCERY in English and Pharmekia in Greek? When your doctor writes you a prescription and sends you to the pharmacy to get them, what are the pills called? Aren’t they called prescription DRUGS?

Strong's #5332: pharmakeus is from pharmakon (a drug, i.e. spell-giving potion); a druggist ("pharmacist") or poisoner, i.e. (by extension) a magician:--sorcerer.

We can now see where the word “pharmacy” comes from and the ties to drug sorcery, so technically this is another tactic “hiding in plain sight.” This is a very important topic because we know that most of the world is on medication and have been trained to run to the doctor for everything. Has the world lost sight of YHWH? Is this a big-time deception that most of the world has overlooked?

Thayer's Greek Lexicon:

pharmakeus

1) one who prepares or uses magical remedies

2) sorcerer

Part of Speech: noun masculine

Relation: from pharmakon (a drug, i.e. spell-giving potion)

The defitintion of pharmakie Greek Pharmakeia #5331 is ‘medication, magic, witchcraft, poisoning, the use of administrating drugs. And all the nations were led astray by this and we know this is true because most of the world relies on medication from these institutions to “heal them”. Am I saying that people are bad and evil because they used medication? No! What I’m saying is the world has been deceived into this deception and unknowingly just go with the flow and we can see from scripture that pharmaceuticals is a part of the Babylon deception we are called to come out of it. We know as followers of YESHUA our goal is not to go with the flow, but to walk in truth at all costs no matter how the world views it, and that is what this message is about.

I was led to two different articles that were written that sum up everything that needs to be said on this topic, so I have included them below. I wanted to start off with the definition of drug sorcery from its original word; and I’m sure the rest will be an eye opener for you.

Stunning Hebrew discovery: when «healing» turns to «pharma»

septiembre 1, 2017 por Tzvi ben Daniel

Little did I know at this point, how the Father was about to reveal to us something amazing about a different word in this verse!

I had written a short comment on the word מרפא (MaRPe) – «healing», and its inaccurate translation into the Spanish version of the Bible when Harold, one of my coworkers, pointed out that one of the volunteers we had sent this text to for proofreading, had marked a correction on that very word, IN THE HEBREW!

It turns out in the original file we had it right, as מרפא (MaRPe) – «healing», but in the file this volunteer had received, the Word had mixed up the letters only to reveal us a mystery.
The weird thing was that Word did not just reverse the Hebrew letters as it normally does, but it had strangely rearranged them in a different order to form a different word that I IMMEDIATELY recognized, not being Hebrew in origin, but being very popular and significant in the times we live in.

This is how the word appeared: 

Now, if you can read Hebrew you probably can already identify the word. If not, before I give it away, let me make the point once more:

The word  מרפא  (MaRPe)  means  «healing»

Only one letter needs to be switched in order to form the word פרמא

And… Here it is: 

I was BLOWN AWAY!!!

By simply switching the «pey» with the «mem», Yah used Microsoft Word to show us a deep mystery.

The word that in Hebrew means HEALING was turned to PHARMA!!!

The adversary perverts and manipulates what the Creator has given us. «Pharma» is a modern term that is defined as «pharmaceutical companies collectively as a sector of industry.»

We know that the pharmaceutical industry «appears» to heal people, but in reality is looking after its own profit. The business is really, having people sick, and not healing them. It is a perversion of «MaRPe», the true healing that the Father provides for those «that fear His Name». (Show how the letters were rearranged)

In addition, the term «Pharma» is derived from the Greek pharmakeia -φαρμακεύς (G5332)- which is not limited to the administration of drugs but has to do with witchcraft and sorcery, as we see in this verse for example:

Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries (pharmakeia), G5331nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Revelation 9:21

Now, I do believe that the Almighty created everything to be of good use to mankind, but the fallen ones had taught a perversion of what was given in purity.

In the same way, His MaRPe – healing was perverted into PhaRMa. Remember, it looks SO close to the original word, it may even sound similar, but it leads to death.

To leave you all with hope, I want to close this by coming back full circle to the original promise given to «all who fear His Name». Our future is bright and there is nothing for us to fear, except the One that can kill both, body AND soul.

Malachi 4:2

But unto you that fear my Name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing (MaRPe!) in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

As always Satan did his law of reversal and we can see the word Marpe in Pharma scrambled around. The last three letters of Pharma are “RMA” The first three letters of Marpe are “MAR”.

Herbs and plants are what YHWH considers medicine

Before moving on to the next article I would like to add more definitions and scriptures proving that YHWH considers plants and herbs as medicine: In the verb raphe in Hebrew means to cure, heal, repair, mend, or restore health. The noun marpe, derived from “rophe” (one who heals) means restoration of health, remedy, cure, medicine, tranquility, deliverance, or refreshing.

 If you notice the word marpe includes medicine in the definition, but what kind of medicine is our Father YHWH referring to?

Sirach 38:1-6

“Esteem a physician with the esteem due to him for the uses which you may have for him: For YHWH has created him. For healing comes from the Most High, and He shall receive esteem from the king. The skill of the physician shall raise his head; and in the sight of great men he shall be admired. YHWH has created MEDICINES OUT OF THE EARTH; and he who is wise DOES NOT REJECT THEM. Was not the water made sweet with wood, that its power might be known? And He has given men skill, that He might be esteemed by His marvelous works.”

So, we see that YHWH has created the physician and he will be admired for his knowledge, but YHWH is the one who brings the healing. Then we see that YHWH says He gave us MEDICINE FROM THE EARTH and not pills or laboratory science projects, then He goes on to say that the WISE WILL NOT REJECT THEM, because it’s natural.

YHWH has given the physician the wisdom to be able to heal naturally by knowing which plants can heal certain diseases and I love how Sirach points out that WOOD which comes from the earth made the water sweet. Not all doctors are bad or involved in the pharmakeia poison, some are good holistic doctors like what Dr. Sebi was doing who believes all disease is caused by mucus in the body from an acidic environment. These are the types of Physicians that would have been available in ancients times using natural remedies, not the recent Pharma deception.

Jubilees 10:10-13

“And one of us He (YHWH) commanded that we (angels) should teach Noah all their medicines; for He knew that they would not walk in uprightness, nor strive in righteousness. And we did according to all His words; all the wicked evil ones we bound in the place of condemnation, and a tenth part of them we left that they might be subject before Satan on the earth. And we explained to Noah all the medicines of their diseases, together with their accomplishments, how he might HEAL THEM WITH THE HERBS OF THE EARTH. And Noah wrote down all matters in a Book as we instructed him concerning every KIND OF MEDICINE (HERBS).”

Revelation 22:1-2

“And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of YHWH and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was a tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. And the LEAVES OF THE TREE WERE FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS.”

Wisdom 7:20

“The nature of living creatures, and the raging wild beasts; the violence of winds, and the reasonings of men; the DIVERSITIES OF PLANTS AND THE POWER OF ROOTS.”

Psalms 104:14

“Causing the grass to grow for the cattle, AND PLANTS FOR THE SERVICE OF MANKIND, to bring forth food from the earth…”

A brief example of this is that any take Tylenol for headaches, but the natural cure for headaches and migraines is Mullein leaf. YHWH gave us herbs, plants, and oils from seeds and fruit to heal us.

Back to the deception of modern medicine

Some are blindly administering what they were taught in medical school and may not know what it is they are doing, but prayerfully their eyes will be opened. Modern doctors will take extracts out of a natural food or herbs and stick them into a pill will all kinds of poisons and say they are the ones who healed you.

Globalhealthmagz.com adds:

In the early 1900’s, John D. Rockefeller and his affiliates pushed to introduce licensing laws for medical practitioners that basically ILLEGALIZED NATURAL MEDICINE. They illegalized natural medicine with licensing laws: that’s the Rockefeller play-book.

People were sold on pharmaceuticals when well-off Europeans took petroleum derivatives, chemical dyes, and similar chemicals and they tried to make drugs out of them.

Pharmaceuticals originate from a time when coal tar derivative dyes and drugs were interchangeable: chemicals in coal tar were altered, turned into both dyes and drugs.

In fact, coal tar derivatives are still used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals today, and toxic coal tar dyes persist today as well.

Coal tar was initially considered a filthy, useless industrial waste product, a result of gas production from coal. However, it would become the foundation of European dyestuffs industry, and pharmaceutical drugs would be made from those chemicals. Bayer manufactured dyes, until a shift when European chemical companies expanded into pharmaceuticals in the 1880’s and 90’s.  In the last years of the 1800’s, European chemical companies figured out how to make drugs out of their chemicals.

In 1898, Bayer began selling patented Diacetylmorphine as heroin. Bayer had a major success with Aspirin in 1899.

Aspirin and Heroin were two drugs which grew Bayer into what it is today.

Bayer aggressively promoted their “Heroin,” a product of boiling opium, as a children’s cough medicine, or for adults, claiming it was not addictive.

Now let’s take a look at the second article on this subject:

Pathwaytopeace.net reveals some shocking information: By Pastor Cary Rodgers Jr.

By the “sorceries” of Babylon all nations were deceived. The Greek word for “sorceries” in verse 23 is “pharmakeia” [far-mak-i’-ah]. According to the Thayer Greek Dictionary “pharmakeia” is “the use or administering of drugs; poisoning; and sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it.” If you put the original Greek word “pharmakeia” in place of the English word “sorceries” the end of verse 23 would say, “For by thy pharmakeia were ALL nations deceived”! “Pharmakeia” is where we get our English word “pharmacy”! Pharmacy is a well-organized and professionalized system that administers poisonous drugs. The Bible reveals that Babylon will deceive all nations by the use of pharmacy that is in connection to “magical arts” and idolatry. “Magical arts” has its deep roots in witchcraft and the occultic world. We don’t have to do a deep Bible study to know that Satan is directly behind the magical arts and God’s people should have nothing to do with it. Professed deceived Christians today use “magical arts” under the disguise of contemplative prayer, “Christian” humanism, and spiritual formation. In general those involved in sorcery, witchcraft, and magic are known to use “magic” potions to “heal”, deceive, poison, control, or kill someone.

Pharmacy mainly uses a mixture of toxic chemicals, metals, and/or synthetic elements to produce “pharmaceuticals” that are designed to manipulate the biochemistry or metabolic functions of the body in an attempt to get a “desired” affect in the treatment of a disease or sickness. In other words, pharmacy mixes up different types of poison, package it, patent it, and claims that it can treat certain types of diseases. The main problem with that system is that poison is poison. Pharmaceutical drugs are poisonous. When poison is put into the body it has negative effects on the entire body system from head to toe. These are not just “side effects” or “unintended” sicknesses or diseases that a person suffers as a result of using a drug. These are “direct effects” because the reality is that drugs have direct effects on the entire body system including the brain. When you go back to Revelation 18:23, Jesus uses the Greek word “pharmakeia” to reveal to us the main thing that will be used to deceive ALL people in the last days is a well-organized system of administering poisonous drugs to billions of people that are not only toxic to the organs of body, but have direct negative effects on the brain. Many of these drugs used for a variety of reasons are known to cause problems with memory, mood, and contribute to negative personality changes.

Who is the main one behind the system of pharmacy and the administering of poisonous drugs that Babylon uses to deceive all nations? A logo or symbol reveals the values and the purpose of a business, organization, or professional occupation. They use a logo or symbol as an identifying “mark” to the world. In other words, that logo makes a direct link to a business or occupation. When a person thinks of the “swoosh” they immediately think of the Nike corporation. The symbols and logos of modern medicine clearly reveal who is behind the scenes orchestrating the whole system of the administering of poisonous drugs that manipulate the bodies and minds of billions of people around the world. Let’s just look at three recognizable symbols and unmask the truth!

Figure A: Bowl of Hygieia (Bowl with the snake in it) The symbol in Figure A is the international symbol for pharmacy known as the “Bowl of Hygieia.” Who is Hygieia? Hygieia comes from Greek mythology. Mythology is the study of myths, or lies and pagan false gods. In other words, though it is not true, millions worship it as if it is true. Who is the father of lies? Satan. According to Greek pagan worship, Hygieia is the goddess of health and hygiene, the daughter of Aesculapius. He is the god of medicine, healing, and physicians.

Ettie Rosenberg, a doctor in pharmacology and attorney describes the meaning of the Bowl of Hygieia. She says, “The ‘Bowl of Hygieia’ symbol is the most widely recognized international symbol of pharmacy. In Greek mythology, Hygieia was the daughter and assistant of Aesculapius, the God of Medicine and Healing. Hygieia’s classical symbol was a bowl containing a medicinal potion with the serpent of Wisdom (or guardianship) partaking it. This is the same serpent of Wisdom, which appears on the caduceus, the staff of Aesculapius, which is the symbol of medicine.” - Ettie Rosenberg, Pharm.D., Esq.

Figure B is a picture of the statue of Hygieia. Notice the serpent drinking the magic potion from the “bowl of wisdom”. In Genesis 3:1-14, Satan, known as the serpent, used a serpent to deceive Eve. Verse 1 reveals that this serpent was “more subtle” meaning that it was thin or very light, not dense or gross, but smooth and refined in order to accomplish its deceptive purpose. Figure B: “Hygieia”

In verse 6, Eve believed the serpent’s subtle lies. Thinking that she could become wise, Eve disobeyed God by eating from the tree that God said not to eat from. In verse 13 after eating the fruit from the forbidden tree, Eve acknowledged that the serpent deceived her. When a person is deceived, are they aware of it? According to Webster’s dictionary to deceive means “to cause to believe what is false.” So when people are deceived, they really believe the lie. Notice Satan used the serpent to deceive Eve so she would believe the lie. This serpent drinking from the “bowl of wisdom” is from Satan. It represents the deceptive character of Satan that is still deceiving people today. Should God’s people have anything to do with this deception?

Figure C is known Figure C: Rod of Aesculapius as the staff of Aesculapius. His rod represents the healing aspects of the art of medicine. Many Christians think that this symbol is the same as the serpent of brass that Moses put on a pole, but it is not. The serpent on the rod of Aesculapius is a counterfeit to Moses’ bronze serpent on the pole. This counterfeit symbol gives a false message that the serpent is wise and harmless.

Remember, the serpent on the rod of Aesculapius is the same serpent that is drinking from the Bowl of Hygieia. The message that the serpent of this satanic symbol is also giving is that it is okay to take the poisonous “magic potent” from the bowl. These symbols that are used to represent the professions of pharmacy and medicine are giving a deceptive message from Satan that taking poisonous drugs are wise and has the power to heal and not kill. This is a lie! Those who submit to this poisonous counterfeit system will be swept away.

Figure D is a statue of Aesculapius with his rod wrapped with the “Snake of Wisdom”. This “Snake of Wisdom” is seen throughout the symbolism of the modern medical profession. It is in the symbol of the American Medical Association, an association that set the standards for physicians and the medical profession in America. It is found in the middle of the logo of the World Health Organization. It is also found on the logos of medical schools, doctor offices, and many other medical organizations. Figure D: Statue of Aesculapius

Figure E: Caduceus The next symbol in Figure E really sums up who is really behind the poisonous drugging system of Babylon. Figure E is another symbol recognized throughout the medical field, it is known as the “caduceus.” A caduceus has two serpents mating around a rod, topped by a pair of wings. The caduceus, also known as a magic wand, belongs to the Greek god Hermes or the Roman god Mercury. These gods are supposed to be the messengers of gods, inventors of magic, communicators to the “dead” and one who protects business and thieves (drblayney.com/ Asclepius.html). Many in witchcraft and sorcery still use the caduceus for magic and to cast spells. Also the caduceus in sorcery is known to “restrain and control” its victims.

In Greek mythology and the occultic world the caduceus had nothing to do with medicine, healing or health. So why has modern medicine adopted the caduceus as their symbol of medicine? Remember its original function and meaning. Who holds the caduceus? The false god of Mercury holds it. What is his claim? Inventor of magic, conductor of the dead, protector of merchants, thieves, and to restrain and control is his claim! Could it be that modern medicine has adopted the caduceus as their symbol of medicine and physicians to PROTECT the merchants of the earth that make billions of dollars poisoning people and to protect the corporate thieves and to control and restrain masses of people? This may shock you. Even though the caduceus had nothing to do with healing or medicine, an officer in the U.S. ARMY Medical Corps in 1902 insisted to adopt the caduceus as their symbol. Since then others in the medical profession began to adopt the caduceus as a symbol of medicine or physicians.

Let’s lift the veil of what the caduceus really means. In the occultic world, Satan depicts himself as a goat known as Baphomet with two wings and a caduceus (two snakes crossing each other) between his crossed legs! Yes, Baphomet has a caduceus between his legs. Look at the pictures in Figure F and compare. Here is the direct link between the poisonous practices of modern medicine through pharmakeia and Satan. Satan is behind this drugging system. A caduceus is actually an abbreviated version of Baphomet, Satan himself.

Figure F: Baphomet Do you think YESHUA is a part of this system? NO. Should true Christians be a part of this drugging system? No. This systematic poisoning is of Babylon and God’s people need to get out. We need to learn nature’s way of healing that God approves of through lifestyle and plant-based eating and herbs.

Did you know that the “father” of pharmacology was an occultist? He was a worshiper of Satan! Born as Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim in 1493, he called himself Paracelsus. He was well known as a Swiss German physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and general occultist. He founded the field of toxicology better known as pharmacy. For hundreds of years physicians used natural herbs and food for healing. Paracelsus defied this notion. From his studies on chemistry and metallurgy with the mix of occultic worship and astrology, he theorized that metals such as mercury, lead, tin, copper, and gold could “purify” the body. He believed that the stars and planets were the main cause of human illness and disease. He believed that ALL diseases should be treated with metals which are poisonous to the body. This was a very radical practice during his time. He treated many diseases with mercury better known as quicksilver. Many physicians who bought into Paracelsus method and used quicksilver (mercury), also known as Quack Salber, were known as “quacks”. This was a very rebellious way of treating the body at the time (Jethro Kloss, Back to Eden, 2nd ed., pp. 52, 53). Many died as a result of Paracelsus way of treatment. At 50 or 51 years old the story is told that Paracelsus was thrown out the window by other physicians at the time who believed him to be very dangerous in 1541. It is amazing today that Paracelsus is known as the father of modern pharmacy! Where did he get his inspiration? Baphomet, Satan!

This system of Paracelsus is the foundation in which modern medicine is built. It has killed and poisoned millions of people. Pharmaceutical drugs never cure disease – they only try to manage it by inhibiting or manipulating a function in the body that is supposed to happen naturally. In a June 2010 report in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, authors said that in looking over records that spanned from 1976 to 2006 they found that out of 62 million death certificates, 25 million deaths were coded as having occurred in a hospital setting due to medication errors. The total number of deaths due to the American modern medical system of drugging, unnecessary surgeries, infections, medical errors, etc., is nearly 800,000 people per year! This is more than people who die from heart disease with over 600,000 deaths per year and cancer with over 500,000 deaths per year. - articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/ archive/2003/11/26/death-by-medicine-part-one.aspx

This system of administering poisonous drugs worldwide is a trillion dollar industry and the medical merchants of the earth profit greatly from it. They love the money it produces and ignore the many lives it destroys. Millions worship the system as an idol.

Poisonous drugs are NOT a cure for disease. Many who prescribe and administer pharmaceutical drugs will admit it. If drugs cured disease, why are many who are being treated for diseases prescribed to take drugs until the day they die. This does not sound like a cure but a money making hoax.

What message does the Bible give for those in pharmakeia – the poison of Babylon? Galatians 5:20-21says

20 Idolatry, witchcraft [pharmakeia], hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” The Greek word for “witchcraft” in verse 20 is pharmakeia. Those who are in this poisoning drugging business need to repent and turn away from it. If they do not repent they will not inherit the kingdom of God. This is confirmed in the book of Revelation. Revelation 21:8 says, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers [pharmakeus =druggist/poisoner], and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” The Greek word for sorcerers in verse 8 is “pharmakeus” defined as a druggist or poisoner. This is repeated in the last chapter of the Bible. Revelation 22:14, 15 says, 14“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers [pharmakeus = druggist], and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”

Pharmakeia is a part of Babylon. This is what the Bible predicts that Babylon would use to deceive all nations. You don’t have to be deceived. There is no way to be a part of God’s true people at the end of time and be connected with this system of administering poisonous drugs that manipulate and confuse the mind. This comes from Satan himself. You have seen the evidence. Babylon is fallen, get out before it is too late. It is a broken and poisonous system, “GET OUT” is ELOHIM’s earnest plea.

(This would tie into the world waiting for the pharmaceutical companies and Gates to produce a poisonous cure to so-called “saved the world from the virus.” People are terrified and will do whatever these people tell them. Same for the hypochondriacs who live in fear and go the doctor every other day as if they can save them. Most of the world is on some type of medication from these companies so it makes sense that this would be a huge deception that the people of YHWH should avoid. YHWH is Rapha our ELOHIM who heals with marpe! Trust in Him and use His natural means of herbs for medicines.

As always if you are in doubt take this to our Father YHWH and His Son YESHUA in prayer! May YHWH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name.

Endure with patience and never complain!

James 1:2-4

“My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the proving of your belief works endurance. And let endurance have a perfect work, so that you be perfect and complete, lacking naught.”

Be joyful whenever you go through trials in this life because our Father YHWH is proving you! He tells us in His Word that He will try us to see who is faithful and trustworthy through all trials! Most people will complain when trials come and they figured that they are unjustly being punished. But can look no further than the account of Job. Job was a righteous man, but only went through trials because YHWH knew that Job would not curse Him, He knew Job would be faithful.

Job 1:8

“And YHWH said to ha’Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and straight man, one who reveres ELOHIM and turns aside from evil?”

So Satan was able to have free reign on Job except for his life and the permission of YHWH, but we see at the end that Job got back twice as much as he had in the beginning. The tests and trials are to make you stronger so that you’re roots are deeply planted and nothing will be able to move you. Bless and praise the Name of YHWH when things are going good and when they are not, we are to praise Him at all times!

A lot of people give up when they lose a child, lose their job, or simply have a bad day. But the truth is you don’t know what YHWH has planned for you. Do you think Job knew that he would be restored with twice as much at the time he was being afflicted? Job said it best:

Job 2:9-10

“And his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse ELOHIM and die!” But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Indeed, should we accept good from ELOHIM, and not accept evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.”

We know that YESHUA is our example for how we are supposed to live by being righteous keeping the commandments and to endure under trials. Remember, a servant is not greater than his Master.

1 John 2:6

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

And knowing this we know that YESHUA was tested in the wilderness:

Mathew 4:1

“Then YESHUA was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be TRIED by the devil.”

Jubilees 17:17-18

“And YHWH knew that Abraham was trustworthy in all his afflictions; for He had TRIED him through his land and with scarcity of food, and had TRIED him with the wealth of kings, and had TRIED him again through his wife, when she was taken, and with circumcision, and had TRIED him through Ishmael and Hagar, his female servant, when he sent them away. And in all in which He had TRIED him, he was found trustworthy, and his being was NOT IMPATIENT, and he was not slow to act; for he was trustworthy and loved YHWH.”

Jubilees 19:1-9

“And in the first year of the first week, in the forty-second Jubilee, Abraham returned and dwelt opposite Hebron, that is Qiryath Arba, fourteen years. And in the first year of the third week of this Jubilee the days of the life of Sarah were accomplished, and she died in Hebron. And Abraham went to mourn over her and bury her, and we TRIED HIM, if his spirit was PATIENT in this, and was not disturbed, for in patience of spirit he spoke with the children of Heth, to the intent that they should give him a place in which to bury his dead. And YHWH gave him favor before all who saw him, and he pleaded with the sons of Heth, and they gave him the land of the cave of Makpelah opposite Mamre, that is Hebron, for four hundred pieces of silver. And they pleaded with him, saying, “We shall give it to you for naught!” But he would not take it from their hands for naught, for he gave the price of the place, the silver in full, and he bowed down before them twice; and after this he buried his dead in the cave of Makpelah. And all the days of the life of Sarah were one hundred and twenty-seven years, that is, two Jubilees and four week and one year: these are the days of the years of the life of Sarah. This the TENTH TRIAL which Abraham was TRIED, and he was found trustworthy, PATIENT IN SPIRIT. And he did not speak; not a single word regarding the report in the land how that ELOHIM had said that He would give it to him and to his seed after him. And he pleaded a place there to bury his dead; for he was found trustworthy, and was recorded on the tablets of the heavens as the friend of ELOHIM.”

Exodus 16:2-4

“And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’el grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. And the children of Yisra’el said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of YHWH in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to satisfaction! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.” And YHWH said to Moses, “See, I am raining bread from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, in order to TRY THEM, whether they walk in My Torah or not.”

In order for YHWH to know what is in your heart, He must try you to see if you will be patient, complain, or be disobedient. And we see the children of Yisra’el failed at this by complaining every time a new obstacle was presented. Everything from saying that wish that they would have die before YHWH parted the Red Sea though Moses, to complaining about having no water, to complaining about not having bread and meat, etc. Examine your life ask yourself is this you? Does each blessing that YHWH give you get nullified at every trial that comes your way? Are you forgetting all the good He has done?

2 Chronicles 32:26-31

“Then Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of YHWH did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah. Verse 31 “However with the envoys of the princes of Babel, whom they sent to ask him about the wonder that was done in the land, ELOHIM left him, in  order to TRY HIM, to know ALL THAT WAS IN HIS HEART.”

Revelation 3:7-10

“And to the messenger (angel) of the assembly of Philadelphia write, ‘He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens, says this: “I know your works-see, I have put before you an open door, and no one is able to shut it-that you have little power, yet have guarded My Word, and have not denied My Name. See, I am giving up those of the congregation of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie. See, I am making them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall guard you from the hour of trial which shall come upon all the world, TO TRY THEM who dwell on the earth.”

You will be tried like gold in the fire

Zechariah 13:8-9

“And it shall be throughout all the land,” declares YHWH, “that two thirds therein are cut off and die, and one third is left therein. And I shall bring the third INTO FIRE, AND REFINE THEM AS SILVER IS REFINED, AND TRY THEM AS GOLD IS TRIED. They shall call on My Name, and I shall answer them. I shall say, ‘This is My people,’ while they say, ‘YHWH is my ELOHIM.”

Wisdom 3:5-9 (Included in 1611 KJV)

“And having been disciplined a little, they shall be rewarded greatly; for ELOHIM PROVED THEM, and found them worthy for Himself. He has TRIED THEM AS GOLD IN THE FURNANCE, and received them as a burnt offering. And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble. They shall judge the nations, and reign over the people, and their Master shall reign forever. Those that put their trust in Him shall understand the truth…”

2 Esdras 16:70-74

“For in every place and in the neighboring cities, there shall be a great uprising against those who revere YHWH. They shall be like madmen, sparing none, but continue ravaging and destroying those who revere YHWH. For they shall lay waste and take away their goods, and throw them out of their houses. Then those who are My chosen shall be known; and they shall be TRIED AS GOLD IN THE FIRE. “Hear, O you My beloved,” says YHWH, “See, the days of trouble are at hand, but I shall deliver you from them.”

Sirach 2:1-9

“My son, if you come to serve YHWH, prepare your being for TRIAL. Prepare your heart, and constantly ENDURE, and do not hasten in time of trouble. Cling to Him, and do not depart, that you may be increased at your latter end. Whatsoever is brought upon you, accept cheerfully (James 1:2-4), and be PATIENT when you are brought low. FOR GOLD IS TRIED IN THE FIRE, and acceptable men in the FURNANCE OF ADVERSITY.  Believe in Him, and He shall help you; establish your ways, and trust in Him. You who revere YHWH, wait for His kindness; and do not turn aside, lest you fall. You who revere YHWH, believe Him; and your reward shall not fail. You who revere YHWH, have expectancy for good, and for everlasting joy and kindness.”

Acceptable men are tried in the furnace of adversity and those who keep the faith will stand and their reward shall be without fail. The way is narrow and hard pressed as YESHUA said, so understand trials will come, but they must be overcome without complaining.

What happens to those who complain and try Him?

Numbers 11:1-6

“And it came to be, when the people were as COMPLAINERS, it was EVIL in the ears of YHWH. And YHWH heard it, and His displeasure burned. And the fire of YHWH burned among them and consumed those in the outskirts of the camp. And the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to YHWH, and the fire died down. Then he called the name of the place Tav’erah, because the fire of YHWH had burned among them. And the mixed multitude who were in their midst lusted greatly, so the children of Yisra’el also wept again and said, “Who is giving us meat to eat? “We remember the fish which we ate without cost in Egypt, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic, but now our life is dried up. There is naught to look at but this manna!”

So YHWH destroyed many the first time they complained with fire then immediately then complained again for meat! They completely forgot about what just happened to the last group of complainers! So YHWH had a solution for the complaining ungrateful people:

Numbers 11:18-20

“And say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat, because you have wept in the hearing of YHWH, saying, “Who is giving us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” And YHWH shall give you meat, and you shall eat. You are going to eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, not ten days, nor twenty days, but for a month of days, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes an abomination to you, because you have REJECTED YHWH who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we come up out of Egypt?” Verse 33 “The meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, and the wrath of YHWH burned against the people, and YHWH smoke the people with an exceeding great plague.”

This shows how YHWH views complaining and there is no difference today. Trust in YHWH and believe the outcome is for the best like Abraham and Job, count it all joy because it will only strengthen you in the end.

Hebrews 3:7-13

“Therefore, as the Ruach ha’Kodesh (Holy Spirit) says, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of TRIAL in the wilderness, where your ancestors TRIED ME, proved Me, and saw My works forty years. Therefore I was loathed with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My Ways.’ As I swore in My wrath, ‘If they shall enter into My rest…” Look out, brothers, lest there be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief in falling away from the living ELOHIM, but encourage one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened by the deceit of sin.”

Is there something in your life that you are complaining about? Are you questioning YHWH and His plan for your life? Repent and give it all to Him, for He sees of the mountain when you cannot and that blessing is right over the other side if you just hold on and trust Him!

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

Die to self and be obedient until death!

Luke 9:24

“For whoever wants to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake shall save it.”

This message is not to scare anyone but to strengthen the body of Messiah and all lukewarm believers who are on the fence, with one foot in the world and one foot with YESHUA! There is nothing to fear when we have The ELOHIM of Yisra’el with us. Don’t settle for the comforts and safety of this world and what they are offering, but stand for YAHWEH and follow His Son YESHUA no matter what! And we are going to discuss many throughout the history of scripture who chose to lose their life for His sake versus trying to save their own lives to end up losing their souls in the end. Not all died in the process, but many were tried to see how they would stand! When you have died to self and are living for YESHUA then you know that nothing else in the world matters.

Romans 6:3-4

“Or do you not know that as many of us were immersed (baptized) into Messiah YESHUA were immersed into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through immersion into death, that as Messiah was raised from the dead by the esteem of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life.”

2 Corinthians 5:15

“And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them, and was raised.”

The reward in the end is greater than anything on this earth; therefore your minds should not be set on the earthly things but the spiritual. We too must be ready to stand no matter what. We know that things are beginning to heat up as the second wave is coming with food shortages, their so-called “C.O.V cure” that will alter your DNA from the DNA YHWH created for you at birth, along with aborted baby DNA, mercury etc, also tracking devices to monitor your movements, health records, and what you buy and sell. Without it you will not be able to work, buy or sell. You have to understand that believers in YESHUA will be outcasts from the world and the ones who will not comply will be deemed as a threat to others, so they will hate you or even turn you in. So, if you are a lukewarm believer it’s time to take your stand!

 So it’s time to stand up and decide are you going to be a sold out disciple of YESHUA and trust in Him or fold into the plans of men? Are you ready?

Mathew 10:32-33

“Everyone, therefore, who shall confess Me before men, him I shall confess before My Father who is in the heavens. But whoever shall deny Me before men, him I shall also deny before My Father who is in the heavens.”

There are many who are sleep and spiritually blinded and are trusting in the plans in men and their narratives on every news station and not trusting in our Father YHWH and His Son YESHUA.

Jeremiah 17:5-8

Thus said YHWH, “Cursed is the man who trusts in MAN and makes FLESH his arm, and whose heart turns away from YHWH. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and not see when good comes, and shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land that is not inhabited. Blessed is the man who TRUSTS IN YHWH, and whose TRUST IS YHWH. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and does not see when heat comes. And his leaf shall be green, and in the year of drought he is not anxious, nor does he cease from yielding fruit.”

Psalms 33:13-22

“YHWH has looked from the heavens; He has seen all the sons of men. He looked from His dwelling place on all the inhabitants of the earth-He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works. The king is not saved by the multitude of an army; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain means of safety; neither does it rescue any by its great power. See, the eye of YHWH is on those revering Him, on those waiting for His kindness, to deliver their being from death, and to keep them alive during scarcity of food. Our being has longed for YHWH; our help and our shield is He. For our heart rejoices in Him, for we have put our TRUST in His holy Name. Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be upon us, even as we wait for You.”

Psalms 37:18-19

“YHWH knows the days of the perfect, and their inheritance is forever. They are not ashamed in a time of evil, and in the days of scarcity of food they are satisfied.”

Psalms 112:5-7

“Good is a man showing favor and lending, He sustains in right-ruling. For he is NEVER SHAKEN; the righteous is remembered forever. He is not afraid of an evil report. His heart is steadfast trusting in YHWH.”

No matter how evil the report gets on this earth we are not shaken or moved because we trust in YHWH and that is what I want all believers in YESHUA to do today if you haven’t already.

Let’s look at examples of how our hearts should be prepared to stand!

Daniel 3:4-7

“Then a herald loudly proclaimed, “To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, that as soon as you hear the sound of the horn, the flute, the zither, the lyre, the harp, the pipes, and all kinds of instruments, you shall fall down and do obeisance to the GOLD IMAGE that king Nebukadnetstsar has put up. And whoever does not fall down and do obeisance is immediately thrown into the midst of a burning furnace of fire.” So as soon as all the people heard the sound of the horn, the flute, the zither, the lyre, the harp, all kinds of instruments, all the people, NATIONS, and languages fell down and did obeisance to the GOLD IMAGE that king Nebukadnetstsar had put up.”

Where do we see this happen again?

Revelation 13:14-15

“And he leads astray those dwelling on the earth because of those signs which he was given to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to MAKE AN IMAGE TO THE BEAST who was wounded by the sword, yet lived. And there was given to him to give spirit to the IMAGE of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause to be killed as many as would not worship the image of the beast.”

Our responses should always be as they responded:

Daniel 3:16-18

“Shadrak, Meyshak, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebukadnetstsar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. For if so, our ELAH whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning furnace of fire and from your hand, O king-He delivers! But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your mighty ones, nor do we do obeisance to the gold image which you have put up.”

 Shadrak, Meyshak, and Abed-Nego were thrown into the fire for not bowing down to the image and during the end times those who don’t worship the image of the beast will be killed. They were protected for trusting in YHWH as we know that YESHUA was with them in the fire as He will be for us. No matter what hold firm to the end and do not deny Him. They trusted in YHWH whether they were going to be delivered or not.

Genesis 39:6-14

“And he left in Joseph’s hand all he had, and he did not know what he had except for the bread that he ate. And Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. And after these events it came to be that his master’s wife lifted up her eyes to Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” But he REFUSED and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has given into my hand all that he has. No one is greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld whatever from me but you, because you are HIS WIFE. And how shall I do this great evil and sin against ELOHIM? And it came to be, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not listen to her, to lie with her, to be with her. And it came to be on a certain day, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.”

Joseph stayed faithful to YHWH and His commands by not committing adultery even though it landed him in prison. We know that Joseph was 17 years old (Genesis 37:2) when he was sold into slavery then thrown into prison; and 30 years old when he went before Pharaoh (Genesis 41:46) which shows he was imprisoned for 13 years, but he remained faithful and YHWH blessed him for it by making him a dad to Pharaoh, master of his house, and governor of Egypt.

Peter and John were thrown into jail:

Acts 4:1-4

“And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the Sanctuary, and the Sadducees, came upon them, being annoyed because they taught the people and announced the resurrection from the dead in YESHUA. And they arrested them, and put them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening. But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand.”

Acts 12:1-4

“And about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to do evil to some from the assembly. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded further to arrest Peter as well and they were the Days of Matzah. So when he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to watch over him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.”

Daniel 6:3-13

“Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and viceroys, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to appoint him over all the reign. Then the governors and viceroys sought to find an occasion against Daniel concerning the reign. But they were unable to find occasion or corruption, because he was steadfast, and no negligence or corruption was found in him. Then these men said, “We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the Law of his Elah (Arabic for ELOHIM). Then the governors and viceroys tumultuously gathered before the king, and said this to him, “King Darius, live forever! All the governors of the reign, the nobles and viceroys, the counsellors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal decree and to make a strong interdict (prohibition), that whoever petitions any mighty one or man for thirty days, except you, O king, is thrown into the den of lions. Now, O king, establish the interdict and sign the writing, so that it is not to be changed, according to the law of the Madites and Persians, which does not pass away.” So King Darius signed the written interdict. And Daniel, when he knew that the writing was signed, went home and in his upper room with his windows open toward Jerusalem he knelt down on his knees three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his Elah, as he had done before. Then these men tumultuously gathered and found Daniel praying and entreating before his Elah. Then they approached the king, and spoke concerning the kings’ interdict, “Have you not signed an interdict that every many who petitions any mighty one or man within thirty days, except you, O king, is thrown into the den of lions? The king answered and said, “The word is certain, according to the law of the Madites and Persians which does not pass away.”

We see Daniel did not let a law prevent him from praying to YHWH as he had been doing three times a day previously. Daniel stood up for ELOHIM despite that threat to be thrown into the lion’s den. Do you see where I’m going with this? No matter what this world tells you to do that goes against the Word of YHWH to not EVER break the commandments of YHWH! Cling to YESHUA and never let go no matter how ILLEGAL they say it is.

Tobiyah 1:10-11

“And when we were carried away captive to Nineveh, all my brothers and those who were of my relatives ate the bread of the gentiles. But I kept myself from eating; because I remembered ELOHIM with ALL MY HEART. And the Most High gave me favor and kindness before Shalmanseser, so that I was his attendant.”

John 15:20

“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.”

 We have to remember that a servant is not greater than His Master as YESHUA said and we are called to walk like Him (1 John 2:6) so be prepared to stand!

Philippians 2:8

“And having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake.”

2 Maccabees 7:1-9

It also came to be, that seven brothers with their mother were taken, and compelled by the king against the Law-to eat pig’s flesh, and were tortured with scourges and whips. But one of them that spoke first said, “What would you ask or learn from us? We are ready to die, rather than to transgress the Laws of our ancestors (Leviticus 11).” Then the king becoming enraged, commanded pots and cauldrons be heated. These promptly being heated, he commanded to cut out the tongue of he that spoke first, and to cut off the outer parts of his body with the rest of his brothers and his mother looking on. Now when he was mutilated in this way over his entire body, he commanded him while still alive to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the cauldron. And as the smoke of the cauldron spread widely, they encouraged one another with their mother to die bravely saying, YHWH ELOHIM watches over us and in truth has compassion on us, as Moses spoke in his song which witnessed to their faces saying, ‘And He has compassion on his servants.” So when the first had died in this manner, they brought the second to make him a mockery. And when they had pulled off the skin from his head with the hair, they asked him, “Will you eat before you are tortured over every part of your body? But he answered in his own language and said, “No.” Therefore, he also received the next torture in turn as the former had. And when he was at the last gasp he said, “In wrath you remove us from THIS PRESENT LIFE, but the KING of the world shall RAISE UP WE WHO HAVE DIED FOR HIS LAWS, UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE.!” Verse 14-17 “So when he was ready to die he said, “It is good to be put to death by men; to look for expectancy from ELOHIM to be RAISED UP AGAIN BY HIM. As for you, you shall have no resurrection to life. Afterward they brought the fifth also, and mutilated him. Then he looked at the king and said, “You have power over men, you are corruptible, you do what you want; yet do not think that our nation is forsaken by ELOHM. But wait a while and see His great power, how He will distress you and your seed.” Verse 20-23 But the mother was greater above all and worthy of honorable remembrance; for when she saw her seven sons slain within the space of one day, she bore it with good courage because of the expectancy that she had in YHWH. She also encouraged every one of them in her own language. Filled with a courageous spirit and stirring up her womanly thoughts with a brave face, she said to them, I cannot tell you how you came into my womb; for I neither gave you breath nor life, nor was it I that formed the members of every one of you. But without doubt the Creator of the world who formed the generation of man and revealed the beginning of all, will also give you of His own kindness, breath and life again, as you disregard now your own beings for the sake of His Laws.”

This cruel torture happened to all of the mother’s seven sons in her presence and then she was killed. They chose to obey YHWH and not break His Commands under any circumstances and like YESHUA they were obedient until death. But the ultimate message is this, YESHUA overcame the world and sits at the right hand of our Father YHWH and at His Name every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is Master. Those who died for YESHUA in obedience will be raised to everlasting life just as the second son said in Maccabees.  This is what all believers in YESHUA are to look forward to knowing this life is short. Those who rule now think that they are winning, but in the end they will lose, you just have to hold on! Don’t break the Sabbath, eat pork, shrimp, crab, or lobster, nor break any of His commandments.

Revelation 20:4

“And I saw thrones- and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them-and the lives of those who had been beheaded because of the witness they bore to YHWH and because of the Word of YHWH, and who did not worship the beast, nor his image, and did not receive his mark upon their foreheads or upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years. And the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended-this is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death possesses no authority over these, but they shall be priests of YHWH and Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”

Psalms 116:15

“Precious in the eyes of YHWH is the death of His saints.”

How deep are your roots?

Mathew 13:18-21

“You, then, hear the parable of the sower: “When anyone hears the Word of the reign, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that sown by the wayside. And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the Word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but is short-lived, and when pressure or persecution arises because of the Word, immediately he stumbles.”

Mathew 24:10

“And then many shall stumble, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.”

Examine your roots to see if your faith is strong as Shadrak, Meyshak, and Abed-Nego, Daniel, Joseph, Peter, James, Paul, Tobiyah, the mother with the 7 children to name a few; or can your faith be shaken and be as one that YESHUA says in the parable that when there is pressure or persecution because of the Word, will you fall away? Will you deliver up your brother or sister to save your own life? How will you stand? Make sure you pray and make sure you have completely given your life to YESHUA to be a sold out disciple of His, so none of this even comes into question. Be ready! We cannot do this on our own strength! We need the Ruach ha’Kodesh who will always give us strength and the words to speak:

Luke 12:11-12

“And when they bring you to the congregations and rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say, for the Ruach ha’Kodesh (Holy Spirit) shall teach you in that very hour what you should say.”

Acts 4:7-12

“And having placed them in the middle, they asked, “By what power or in what Name did you do this? Then Peter, filled with the Ruach ha’Kodesh, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Yisra’el: “If today we are called to account for a good deed towards a sick man, by whom he has been healed, let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Yisra’el, that in the Name of YESHUA ha’Mashiach of Nazareth, whom you impaled, whom YHWH raised from the dead, by Him this one stands before you, healthy. This is ‘the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone. And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heavens given among men by which we need to be saved.”

No matter how frightened you are during the times we can see that YESHUA did not lie and the Holy Spirit gave Peter the words to speak and the strength to overcome. All believers must have the mindset as all I mentioned throughout this article and in conclusion I leave this scripture:

Revelation 12:11

“And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES TO THE DEATH.”

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

Do not wear mixed fabrics! And the power of Linen!

This is a topic that gets overlooked because people often do not think about the clothes they put on, because you cover yourself up on go on your way. As always let’s examine scripture and see what YHWH says:

Leviticus 19:19

“Guard My Laws. Do not let your livestock mate with another kind. Do not sow your field with mixed seed. And do not put a garment woven of two sorts of thread upon you.”

Deuteronomy 22:11

“Do not put on a garment of different kinds, of wool and linen together.”

In Leviticus our Father YHWH says do not wear a garment woven of two sorts of thread upon you and we already know that the world does the exact opposite of what YHWH says! So almost every garment you see even in our society today down to socks are combined of different fabrics; take a look at the labels on your shirts and socks and you will find a percentage of all the materials used; and you will more than likely see blends of up to two to four kinds of different fabrics. The fabrics can be anything such as cotton, wool, silk, acrylic, polyester, rayon, spandex etc. The industry has produced so many of these items that you will have to special order your garments and socks that are 100% one fabric. I personally choose to wear 100% linen garments, pants, hats and socks.

As for the command to not mix linen and wool together is there a reason for this?

Notice YHWH mentions linen and wool by name in Deuteronomy to not wear a garment with these two fabrics, but in Leviticus He says do not wear any different blend at all? As for linen and wool they have the highest atomic frequency signature of any fabric totaling 5,000, so when you combine the two together they cancel each other out to “0”.

A doctor named Heidi Yellen did a study on fabrics and this was the conclusion: The human body has a signature frequency of 100 and organic cotton is 100; therefore, you don’t want to wear a garment under 100 that is lower than the frequency of the human body. A sickly nearly dead person has a frequency of 15 and materials such as polyester, rayon, silk, and spandex register at a 15. Science proves that any fabric worn that has a frequency less than the 100 our bodies puts a strain on us which causes disease, inflammation and other sicknesses. The only super fabrics are wool and linen both measuring in at 5,000 which energizes the body and helps fight disease.

Times linen is mentioned in Scripture:

Exodus 28:8

“And the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, which is on it, is of the same workmanship, made of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet, and FINE WOVEN LINEN.” Verse 39 “And you shall weave the long shirt of FINE LINEN, and shall make the turban of FINE LINEN, and you shall make the girdle of woven work.”

Daniel 10:4-6

“And on the twenty-fourth day of the first-month, while I was by the side of the great river, that is Hiddeqel, then I lifted my eyes and looked and saw a certain man dressed in LINEN, who loins were girded with gold of Uphaz! And his body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like torches of fire, and his arms and feet like polished bronze in appearance, and the sound of his words like the sound of a crowd.”

Ezekiel 9:1-2

“And He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, “Let the punishers of the city draw near, each with his weapon of destruction in his hand.” And look, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-axe in his hand. And one man in their midst was clothed with LINEN and had a writer’s ink horn at his side. And they came in and stood beside the bronze altar.”

Proverbs 31:21-24

“She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household is dressed in scarlet. She shall make tapestry for herself; she is dressed in FINE LINEN and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. She shall make FINE LINEN and sell them.”

1 Chronicles 15:27

“And David was dressed in a robe of FINE LINEN, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Kenanyah the leader of the service with the singers. And David wore a LINEN shoulder garment.”

John 19:40

“Then they took the body of YESHUA, and bound it in LINEN wrappings with the spices, as was the habit of the Jews for burial.”

John 20:6-7

“Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. And he saw the LINEN wrappings lying, and the cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but folded up in a place by itself.”

Revelations 15:6

“And out of the Tabernacle came the seven messengers (angels) having the seven plagues, dressed in CLEAN BRIGHT LINEN, and having their chests girded with golden bands.”

Revelation 19:7-8

“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife prepared herself. And to her it was given to be dressed in FINE LINEN, clean and bright, for the FINE LINEN IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE SAINTS.” Verse 13-14 and having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood-and His Name is called: The Word of YHWH. And the armies in the heavens, dressed in FINE LINEN, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.”

Firstly, we notice how none of the above mentioned wore any mixed fabrics? It was all linen! Secondly, YESHUA was buried in linen, the armies of the heavens and the angels wore linen, and linen represents the righteousness of the saints. Now let’s discuss the benefits of linen.

Facts about linen:

1.      Sleeping in linen helps people fall asleep faster and deeper

2.      Improves mood

3.      Considered holy attire

4.      Made of flax

5.      Protects humans from gamma and solar radiation by nearly half; and protects against chemical exposure. This is very important because I want everyone to think of 5G radiation and what it does to the cells of the body. Linen helps provide protection.

6.      Rapid healing from surgeries and other ailments which would explain why hospitals use linen for their beds.

7.      Resistant to fungus and bacteria

8.      Barrier to some diseases

9.      Regulates body temperature, it insulates in the cold, and cool and breathable when it’s warm.

10.  Decreases skin disease

11.  Reduces inflammation and reduces fevers

12.  Cures neurological ailments

13.  More durable than cotton and 2 to 3 times stronger

14.  Helps to repair body by harmonizing with cells

15.  Linen is the only fabric that is accepted internally in the human body and clothstudo.ca says that the Egyptians also used it for bandages.

16.  High air permeability: linen breathes naturally, research shows that those who wear linen sweat 1.5 less than those who wear cotton and 2 times less than those wearing synthetic fabric like rayon. Which would explain why YHWH wanted His priests to wear linen when they served in the Tent of Appointment. Ezekiel 44:18 “They shall have LINEN turbans on their heads and linen trousers on their bodies, they shall not GIRD THEMSELVES WITH SWEAT.”

Facts about wool:

1.      Reduces pain of fibromyalgia by 84%

2.      Reduces depression by 64% and fatigue by 80%

3.      Regulates body temperature leading to less strain on joints and muscles

4.      Helps improve sleep especially stage 4 REM sleep

5.      Composed of the same protein that makes up the outer protective layer of our skin and works in harmony with the body.

6.      Can absorb and wick away up to 30% of its weight in moisture, sweat less, and helps our bodies to remove moisture

7.      Resistant to mildew and mold and helps diabetics with relief of their conditions

8.      Reduces bed sores

9.      Reduces patient healing time

10. Durable, fire retardant

11. Resists static, dirt and dust

So we can see that these two super fabrics that our Father YHWH have given us and have many benefits, just remember not to combine linen and wool together.

Deuteronomy 22:11

“Do not put on a garment of different kinds, of wool and linen together.”

YHWH commands us not to wear a garment with mixed fabrics as we see occurring in clothes all over the world as the world goes further and further away from YHWH. Our Father YHWH is all about perfection and He wants us wear 100% of one fabric.

I pray that this helps as always and may our Father YHWH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

The Lunar Sabbath DECEPTION!

We have already discussed the deception of those who claim the Sabbath or a day is from morning to morning! Scripture reveals to us that the Sabbath and a day is from evening to evening! The other deception that is circulating is the Lunar Sabbath that claims the Sabbath is not on a consecutive 7 day cycle of six days of work and rest on the 7th Day.

What is the Lunar Sabbath?

This is when observers will not honor the weekly 7th Day Sabbath, but will use the MOON to determine when a new week begins and ends. They believe that the Sabbath falls on certain days each month (8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th etc), instead of sticking with an uninterrupted 7 day cycle. Therefore, by using the moon the Sabbath can fall in ANY DAY of the week instead of the 7th Day Sabbath.

Other say they believe in the Lunar Sabbath because Saturday is from Babylon; therefore there is no way that Saturday can be correct. Well, we have to remember that all the pagans did was change the name of the week from Sabbath to Saturday, the only thing that changes is the name NOT the 7th Day that it falls on! Furthermore, all the names of the days of the week and the months are names of Roman pagan deities on the current Gregorian calendar that the world follows today. Just because they change the name doesn’t neglect where the day falls.

 I want everyone to keep in mind about using the phases of the moon as the guide because Jubilees says:

Jubilees 6:33-37

“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 festivals of the gentiles after their straying and after their ignorance. For there shall be THOSE WHO SHALL ASSUREDLY MAKE OBSERVATIONS OF THE MOON-NOW IT DISTURBS THE SEASONS and comes in from year to year TEN DAYS TOO SOON. For this reason the years shall come upon them when they shall DISTURB THE ORDER, and make an abominable day the day of witness, and an unclean day a feast day, and they confuse ALL THE DAYS, the holy, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they shall go astray as to the months AND SABBATHS AND Festivals and Jubilees.”

The messenger (angel) of the presence that YHWH told to instruct Moses tells him that there will be people who observe the moon which disturbs the seasons and go astray to SABBATHS, Festivals, and Jubilees and that they would confuse all the days! That is exactly what is going on with this current deception and this is further evidence that there is no Lunar Sabbath. The moon is a signal for Appointed Times and shows the completion of a month:

Enoch 78:14

“On the side where the light of the moon comes forth, there again she diminishes till all the light vanishes and ALL THE DAYS OF THE MONTH ARE AT AN END, and her circumference is EMPTY, void of light.”

So when you see the half moon and the full moon it is not by accident, but by the design our ELOHIM to know when a month ends and begins.

Sirach 43:6-7

“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, a light that decreases in its completion.”

And we see in Leviticus 23 that The Sabbath Day is mentioned with all the other Appointed times and YHWH tells us exactly when to observe them. Notice the instructions for the Sabbath are spelled out by YHWH saying that you work six days and rest on the 7th Day consistently and is not based on the moon. The Sabbath occurs every week whereas the other Appointed Times occur once a year at their Appointed Times. The other Appointed Times He instructs us Passover 14th Day of 1st month, Feast of Unleavened Bread 15th Day of 1st month etc.

How are you calculating Shavuot (Pentecost) with Lunar Sabbath?

Leviticus 23:15-16

“And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: SEVEN COMPLETED SABBATHS. Until the morrow after the SEVENTH SABBATH you county FIFTY DAYS, then you shall bring a new grain offering to YHWH.”

So we see that YHWH says to calculate Shavuot (Pentecost) by counting seven completed Sabbaths in other words 50 consecutive days to get to Shavuot, which is an indicator the Sabbath Day is on a 7 Day weekly cycle. Those observing the Lunar Sabbath would have to wait for the phase of the moon causing them to miss the consecutive 50 day count. Or they would be counting more than 50 days being that their Sabbath could fall on the 8th day or any day during the week etc.

The cycle for 7 day pattern established

Genesis 2: 2-3

“And on the seventh day ELOHIM completed His work which He had done and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He 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.”

And our Creator gave us the pattern, for us follow the same example just as He did by commanding us to work 6 days and rest on the 7th day:

Exodus 20:8-11

“Remember the Sabbath day, to sanctify it. Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of YHWH your ELOHIM. And you do not do any work- you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor you female servant, not 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 blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.”

Exodus 31:15

“Six days work is done, and on the SEVENTH is a Sabbath of rest, holy to YHWH. Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be put to death.”

Exodus 34:21

“Six days you work, but on the SEVENTH day you rest-in ploughing time and in harvest time”

Deuteronomy 5:13-14

“Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, but the SEVENTH day is a Sabbath to YHWH your ELOHIM. You do not do any work…”

As we see the seventh day Sabbath is ONE day out of the week that YHWH blessed and sanctified; therefore, this blessing does not apply to any day anyone feels the Sabbath lands on based on observance of the moon. Notice YHWH doesn’t say six days work is done but the Sabbath look for the New Moon to determine if it’s the seventh day for the Sabbath. Our Father is not the author of confusion. YHWH even drives this point home with the same cycle for the Sabbath rest for the land:

Leviticus 25:1-6

“And YHWH spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, “Speak to the children of Yisra’el, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the LAND shall observe a Sabbath to YHWH. Six years you sow your field, and six years you prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruit, but in the seventh year the land is to have a Sabbath of rest, a Sabbath to YHWH. Do not sow your field and do not prune your vineyard. Do not reap what grows of its own of your harvest, and do not gather the grapes of your unpruned vine, for it is a year of rest for the land. And the SABBATH of the land shall be to you for food, for you and your servant, and your female servant and your hired servant, and for the stranger who sojourns with you, and for the livestock and the beasts that are in your land. All its crops are for food.”’

Are you noticing the pattern that our Father YHWH sets? He created all things in SIX days and rested on the SEVENTH day, He told us to do work for SIX days and rest on the SEVENTH day just as He did, and then He told the children of Yisra’el to sow, reap, and gather from the land for SIX years, but let the land rest in the SEVENTH year! YHWH doesn’t make the counting confusing, it’s pretty straightforward what He expects us to do through His instructions. There is no Lunar Sabbath calculation for the Sabbath rest for the land because we know that is a command to be taken literally, just as the weekly 7th Day Sabbath is to be taken literally.

6th day parallel with 6th year!

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…”

Leviticus 25:20-21

“And since you might say, “What do we eat in the SEVENTH YEAR, since we do not sow nor gather in our crops? Therefore I have commanded My blessing on you in the SIXTH YEAR, and it shall bring forth the crop for three years.”

YHWH gave TWICE as much manna on the SIXTH day, so they could rest on the Sabbath the seventh day, the same way He gave THREE years of crop blessings in the SIXTH YEAR, so the land could observe its Sabbath in the seventh year. YHWH does not do anything just to be doing it, He wants his people to establish a pattern and was teaching them the continuous, uninterrupted 7 day cycle; and to trust in His provisions that He will provide and not break His weekly 7th Day Sabbath or 7th year land of rest.

New Moons are separate from Sabbath

Isaiah 66:23

“And it shall be that from New moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares YHWH.”

Ezekiel 46:1

“Thus said the Adon (Master) YHWH, “The gate of the inner courtyard facing east is shut the six days of work, but on the Sabbath it is opened, AND on the day of the New Moon it is opened.”

Notice how YHWH separates the two and doesn’t say on the Lunar Sabbath all flesh shall worship me? He says Sabbath to Sabbath and New moon to new moon; therefore, completely distinguishing between the two. And the scripture from Ezekiel clears it up even further as we see YHWH says the gate is opened on the Sabbath AND on the day of the New Moon, so there is no mixing the two at all.

As always I pray this helps and that no one is deceived by the Lunar Sabbath. May YHWH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name.
